offices. Then Mr.. Laverty took up his
neglected education. He held his job
down and took two degrees from the

Nj Harding has serious problem

10 be disappointed unless Dubuque ard
Scott counties are permitted to handle
their own saloon problem while the
rest Of the state remains dry. Some
body is bound to be disappointed if the
counties referred to set up independent
states Of Dubuque and OF Davenport"
without Inolestation. 1t is purely a
question of who is to ibe disappointed.
II would be a happy disappointment
10 many OF those who voted against

state-for they do not expect him TO
do It. But it will be a most bitter dis
appointment to the great army Of vets
If he shall do SO: for they expect a
very different regime
Mr.. Harding as governor has a Pc

RAISING decision to make. Iowa-is dry

defended from the saloon with all the
influence OF the executive He has SO
pledged himself. II Iowa is for pro-

clude the Illicit vendor with the saloon
or il is no pledge to anything. And
thousands Of votes. many thousands,
scores of thousands were cast for him
in full faith that he would not inforcs

Blooming.

It's better to bloom
In narrow niche
Where the suTbeams seldom fall.
Than never TO gather of all that's rich
The spirit to bloom at all
The courage to spread just a little way
The pinions you We're given,
To fold and to keep Your side like clay
Or wing to the golden heaven.
It's better to sing
In a silent place
Where the need of song is sad.
Than never TO spread a song or wing
70 help the world grow glad
Than never to lend a single heart
The cheer OF a simple lay,
That dreams may rise and the shadows
And The hopes come back to stay.
It's better to toll
In an humble spot
Than never to serve or save
\ heart that thinks it has been forgot
And must go down meath the wave.
For out Of the soil
That You ill with love.
o. the service you give for those
Who have broken their faith in
heaven above.

COUGH REMEDY
Sheriff Finds Drug Victims
Novel Source Of
Supply.

Many so-called cough cures offered to
the public are heavily loaded with
chloroform, opium. morphine, csdeine
and other narcotic drugs to such an ex-
tent that several prisoners Of the Suf-
folk County Jail at Boston got the
drugs their appetite ,craved by pretend
ing to the sheriff that they had severe
coughs. according to the Boston Post
of June Z, 1916.
These dangerous habit forming
drugs do have a temporary effect on the
cough but they do not have Lasting
effect and soon the cough comes back
worse than ever. Doctors sound a
warning against these preparations. A

| When the weather grows cold sud
denly expect disastrous CONGREGATIONS
That is the way the old fashioned al
manac put it. And 1t as true of today
| as it was when the old almanac was
printed. And now as then the reason
| for it is not cold weather but lack of
precaution. II a fire marshal were to
go thru the easements of business
blocks and residences he would find in
stances innumerable where carelessness
is bidding for disaster, carelessness
that endangers not only the careless but
entire blocks and neighborhoods. Base
ments piled with inhammable debris,
house furnaces with bad connections,
rusty smokepipes. all these are traps set
ready for drop Of the mercury and
consequent stufing of furnaces. Care
lessness burns up and destroys enough
property in year to pay all the fire in
surance premiums Of the country.
Did the recent o-called fire preven-
ten day" have any real results? Did
it result in preventive precautions on
the part of individuals? Did you look
over your heating apparatus and go
over your basement?
In the larger cities fire prevention
agitation and inspection have had ex-
cellent effect. 1t would have similar
effect in smaller cities and in towns,
perhaps proportionately greater saw
ing. New York showed a decrease of
losses of nearly two and one half mill
lions generally attributed to the fire
prevention work; Chicago has an active
fire prevention bureau and last year de-
creased the number OF fires by over l.
200 and saved a million dollars in round
numbers: Boston figures show a de-
crease in alarms of "a per cent in two
years! Cincinnati cut her losses prac-
tically in two: Milwaukee shows a de-
crease Of fires of % per cent.
Those figures probably deal mainly
with business district fires and losses.
The losses due to dwelling nouse fires
in 1915, however, shows the necessity
of preventive measures by household
ers. That loss totaled 1881, 227 in the
United States. And of this last sum
s6,322,S13 were traced directly to de-
fective chimneys and hues. Neglect

THE SMOKE PIPE.

The smoke pipe is an attachment to
a hot air furnace which burns up
money faster than a college boy with
blank check book.
If 1t were not for the smoke pipe and
the ash pit. it would be cheaper to heat
a twelve-room house nine months III
the year than it is to operate an cleo
trio toaster for n week. As it is now.
the smoke pipe seizes most Of the heat
before 1t can escape into any of the
upstairs rooms and conducts it up the
chimney, which accumulates more car
bon than motor truck fed on kero-
sene. Ii is very discouraging to the
owner of new furnace to watch this
costly heat drift out Of the house with
of a northwest bath room to sproutici-
cies four inches long.
The ash pit is another source of grief
which science has not been able to
circumvent. Why is it that the hard
coal manufactured today confines Its
energies to throwing off clinAers in
stead of heat One Of the worst enc
mics of mankind is the iron-jawed.
bullet-headed clinker which wedges
into furnace crate and is harder 10
pry loose than the president of fra
ternal insurance society.
One Of these days some inventor will
discover a way of preventing the
smoke pipe from rusting out in the
dead of winter and breaking in two
around the hip joints. One of the
worst calamities which can befall any
body is to wake up and find that
trusted smoke pipe. which was cleaned
