DRIVERS SHOULD DIM
THEIR AUTO LIGHTS

1t is becoming more evident every
day that the city of Audubon needs a
DINNER" ordinance, to regulate au-
tomobiles which are about at night.
Since the advent of electric lights for
cars practically all are equipped with
them and the dazzling glare, thrown
in the face of the driver of an ap-
preaching car, or a pedestrian, rem
ders it practically impossible for him
to see, and causes many accidents.
The remedy lies in a law prohibiting
driving in the city without dimmed
lights. Practically all the cities of
the country have such an ordinance
now and Audubon will have to come
to it sooner or later, to prevent acct
dents which are bound to come with
the lights burning full tilt as they do.
Already there have been not a few
accidents, caused directly. from the
glazing lights and there will be more
and serious ones If action is not
taken.

INFANTILE PARALYSIS
CAUSES MANY DEATHS

All previous mortality records in
the epidemic of infantile paralysis
were broken in New York Tuesday.
During the twenty-four hour period
ending at 10 a. m. the plague killed
fifty-seven children in the greater
city and 159 new cases were reported
by the health department The great
increase in the number of deaths is
attributed to the seasons worst heat
wave.
In Brooklyn alone the disease
claimed thirty-five victims. Twelve
died in Manhattan and ten in Queens.
There were no fatalities and only a
few cases reported in Richmond and
the Bronx, where the scourge had
gained considerable Roadway. Health
experts fighting the epidemic said
that with the return of cooler wealth
er they were confident that the num-
Der of deaths and cases would show
decided falling off. Since the plague
started in June there have been
4,123 cases of the disease, S9S OF
which proved fatal.

What Happens If The Teeth
Are Not Cared HI


Should food collect on the teeth or
between them, the acid that is form
ed works through the enamel and in
to the ivory. Sometimes this happens
on the crown of the tooth; sometimes
on the neck of the tooth under the
gum; sometimes down near the root
of the tooth. A dark spot begins to
show; the tooth decays, and little
hole is made in the enamel or dent
inc. Food and then germs from the
mouth get into the little hole in the
tooth and the hole gets bigger and
bigger. Then toothache begins, be-
cause the nerves in the tooth are
being irritated by the fermenting
food, the acid and the germs.
What to DO If the Teeth
are Irregular or Decayed
Save the teeth. Every tooth pulled
out causes more wear and work to be
put on the other teeth. Never pull
a tooth if you can help it. Save it.
Just as soon as you have read this
booklet, look at the teeth of every
member fthe family. Look at them
with a small looking glass that you
can put in the mouth. Wash the look
luS glass III sOdp anu "dlel dllSI US
ing it upon each person. If there are
holes in the teeth or they need clean
ing, go to a dentist-go to the best
dentist you can find.
First and Second Teeth
A child has a first set of teeth to
prepare the way for second set. The
first set makes a kind of scaffold to
keep the jaw wide apart, so that
when the jaw grows there will be
room enough for the bigger set of
teeth.
A Baby's Tooth Brush
Get a baby tooth brush and brush
the baby's teeth; brush them front
and back. Remember that the back
of the teeth ought to have just as
much attention as the front. Brush
the teeth up and down, even more
than across, so that the toothbrush
may get in between the teeth. Get a
looking glass, as near like the den
lists looking glass as you can, lay it
back of the teeth. Hold looking
glass in front of your face and see if
the back of the teeth is just as clean
as the front. Watch the teeth. Once
a week look at the jewels you are
Saving for the baby. See that no spot
comes upon them. Just because they
are so fine and beautiful, do not neg
lect to care for them. Beautiful jew
els receive great care; so should
the pearls in the mouths of your
children.

FIFTY YEARS OLD TODAY

Today is the fiftieth anniversary of
the birth of c. c. Nielsen, Audubon
county's successful auctioneer. Mr..
Nielsen will properly celebrate the
occasion at his fine country home a
short distance south of Kimballton.
Chris has many friends, and he stat
ed that he was prepared to entertain
five hundred people. We judge that
he will not be disappointed, and that
a large number will gather at his
home to help him celebrate the pass
ing of his fiftieth milestone, and ex-
tend congratulations, with the wish
that he will live to enjoy many more
birthdays. Chris has cried sales for
a number of years in all parts Of
Audubon, Shelby, Cass and also ad-
joining counties, and his friends and
acquaintance are legion.

AUTO IN DITCH

Sunday afternoon Bert Kitson had
a narrow escape when his auto went
into a ditch at the side of the road
on the Chas. Mccoy hill. He states
that Just as he was nearing the top
of the hill, and for very brief in
terval of time dozed off to sleep.
Losing control of his car, it swerved
to the side of the road, and turned
over. Mr.. Kitson crawled out with
out any injury to himself. One wheel
of the automobile was taken of,
which was the principal damage to
the car. The cause of the accident
is very strange one and Mr.. Kitson
himself, is unable to account for his
temporary spell of sleepiness. 1t is
possible that he was temporarily
overcome with the heat. 1t is safe
conclusion that hereafter Mr.. Kitson
will be more wide awake.

COLLEGE GIRLS AND
THEIR DRESS

The manager of Swarthmore col
lege have sent out notices to mothers
about dresses for their daughters,
upon their return to school. They
urge simplicity and modesty. "a low
corsage and a thin waist" and the
skirt too short" are all socially ia
booed at Swarthmore. The mothers
are told that "a modern Dutch or V
neck is not Objectionable, but we de-
sire our girls to be an example of
modesty and right living to the
world" 1t is urged that all clothing
be prepared lin no way affected by
the trend of modern society" but that
lit may conform to the strength and
dignity of woman"
That is an example that may we'll
be followed in other schools. What
ever the braZen-faced sinners of the
world outside may do, the college for
girls is no place to emulate their ex-
ample. The girl who is in her teens
who is pursuing the higher studies of
life ought to live unhampered by the
sexual attentions that are attracted
by the prevailing modes of dress for
women. Those who are about to en-
ter life ought to be guided along bet
ter lines of conduct. The sex appeal
ought to be no part of their lives.
And after all has been said that can
be said for some of the prevailing
mades that is what they amount to,
sex appeals. For appeals may be nat
ural enough, but for the young girls
in the schools, girls who still have
the roses of youth in their cheeks,
Isuch appeals ought to be so innately
and so enormously vulgar that they
shrink from them, even il their
mothers may not be able to shrink
for them.-Cedar Rapids Repub-
lican.

will be worked in during the month.
Hot weather is apparently making
no difference with him.
The lieutenant governors speak
ing dates for the month were given
out yesterday by the republican state
central committee. E. T. Meredith,
the democratic candidate, also has
a number of speaking dates made up
for the month, although his full pro-
gram for the month has not yet been
made out

BABY'S BUSINESS
A Column Devoted Weekly To The
Interests of The Babies of Aud
ubon County

1t is the baby's business to grow
and develop, both mentally and ply
sically. 1t is the business of those
who care for him to see that his
growth is not hindered nor checked
by lack of care, or by over anxious
fussy care.
Healthy Babies
Many inquiries have been coming
to us concerning the scoring of babies
at contests and how parents may
improve baby's physical condition
before bringing it to the contest. We
have concluded it will be worth while
to give some space to pointing out
to parents the possible deficiencies
in their children, especially the lit
tie things that can be so easily rem
edied in baby-hood but which be-
come big things that are hard to
cure If left to grow worse with neg
lect.
The first thing that every parent
should thoroughly comprehend is
that each child is an individual and
must be treated as an individual. Be
cause Johnny came out alright with
very little care or attention is no
assurance that Mary or James will
be just as strong and just as healthy
and good looking with the same sort
of care and feeding.
The Baby Health Contest was
planned to make the parent see the
defects of the individual child and in
such way that he would seek to
remedy the defect whatever it might
be, and many children have profited
by the awakening of parents to the
needs of the child.
We find, however, that many COM
paratively healthy children receive
lower scores than expected because
of the neglect of the parent to look
after the little blemishes that lower
the babies scoring.
The care of the toe and finger
nails, the dry scalp and infiamed ton
sils, the rough skin, coated tongue,
offensive breath and discolored teeth
all take from the babies score but
could have been remedied with a lit
tie care and foresight.
Bad temper and unmanageable-
ness are two points that should be
looked after now and the training
you give your baby is getting it
ready for the contest will not be time
lost II it makes the babe happier and
at the same time a comfort in the
home.
In all large Baby Health Contests,
dozens of babies are scored off be-
cause of the need of circumcision and
judges frequently remark that they
score off for the parents neglect and
because they need the lesson in care
taking.
In this connection it might be well
to call attention to the fact that a
man who intends to enter stock at a
fair began early in the summer to
get it into proper condition. Just to
emphasize the importance of daily
attention to details necessary to
bring out the best points, read the

TO CUT SIZE OF PAPERS

Publishers of daily newspapers in
Greater New York Tuesday afternoon
took action which will result in de-
crease of the number of pages in their
morning, evening and Sunday issues
of 121 pages a week. The reduction
of so many pages is a step to relieve
the news print paper situation, which
is regarded by the publishers as very
serious. Action was also taken to
eliminate returns of unsold copies.

HAVE YOUR SOIL TESTED FREE

Farmers who want to know wheth-
er or not they have acid soil may have
it tested free of charge by bringing a
small sample of the soil from their
farm to the Iowa State college build
ing at the Iowa state fair at Des
Moines.
This will be one of the leading fea-
lures of the college exhibit. The test
will take but a few minutes and hun
dreds may be made in a day. All that
will be necessary will be to bring
about a pound of soil in a sack or
box
This testing will continue all dur
ing fair week.

PREPARING PIG FOR FAIR
Begin Early to Feed Up and Start
With More Than You'll Need
Good RatiOns

If the breeder desires to make a
SHOW at fairs" he should begin
early, and feed up. He should al
ways feed up more than he expects
to take, as some may get hurt or not
''fll out" as he expects. By an early
start, the hogs will shed off the old
coat of hair, and the new growth will
have come out nicely and present a
smooth coat by showing time, and the
flesh will be firm and solid. The best
feed to start old or young hogs to
fattening, is milk, ground oats, corn
meal, rye meal, oil meal, and fresh
clover, with plenty of pure water.
Curry and brush the hogs daily; this
makes them thrive better, keeps the
skin healthy and soft, makes the ami
mails gentle and improves the coat.
Sows that are to be shown should
be bred late enough so as to farrow
soon after the close of the showing
h season. 1t is the best and most nat
sural way to reduce them. Show hogs
I should be well fatted, as poor hogs
never take premiums and should not,
,for no man can tell how a poor hog
will fill up. Hogs are raised for pork,
not work, and in order to determine
What proportions and symmetry they
are CdpdDle VI, lley must Dt llltu Out
and show their capacity to carry full
flesh without breaking down.
p II the coating is very rough, the
hog may be clipped. 1t will help its
appearance. The hogs should be
taken out into a lot and driven about
frequently, singly and in show herds,
to accustom them to handling, and
being together; this course will save
much trouble and some profanity.
sWhen you get to the fair, do not
crowd too many hogs in one pen.
Take them out mornings and even
ings, and walk them around for ex-
excise. Wash them with a good CASTLE
or ivory soap, rub dry and then oil
with a mixture of sweet or castor oil,
glycerine, and a little alcohol, II you
wash at all. A good, vigorous brush
ing. twice day, is about as good as
washing, especially II the weather is
cool If the washing process is COM
1ienced, and water freely used it will
Sbe necessary to keep it up, as unless
wet or oiled, the hair becomes dry

WISCONSIN BANKERS WIN

Ever since the federal reserve law
went into effect the bankers of central
and northern Wisconsin have been try
ing to be placed in what is known as
the Chicago rather than the Minneap-
oils district, for the reason that all
have greater interests in Chicago than
in Minneapolis. Nearly all business
before that time had been done in Chi
cago. The order issued by the federal
reserve board in Washington Friday,
provides that counties in Wisconsin,
south and east of a line drawn across
the state north of Marinette, Oconto,
Langlade, Marathon, Clark and Mon
roe counties be transferred to the Chi
cago reserve district.
This makes the Wisconsin counties
now in the Chicago reserve district:
Narinette, Oconto, Langlade, Shaw
anO, Marathon, Clark, Jackson, Mon
roe, Adams, Wood, juneau, Portage,
Waupaca, Outagamie, Brown, Kewau-
nee, Door, Manitowoc, Calumet, Win
nebago, Waushara, Vernon, Crawford,
Grant, La Fayette, Iowa, Richland,
Sauk, Columbia, Marquette, Green
Lake, Fond du Lac, Sheboygan, Dodge,
Washington, Waukesha, Milwaukee,
Ozaukee, Racine, Kenosha Walworth,
Jefferson, Rock, Green and Dane.
The order places the business of
central Wisconsin in the district to
which it is naturally tributary. Among
the large cities whose banks are now
placed in the Chicago district are:
Green Bay, Appleton, Oshkosh, Mani
towoc, Marinette, Fond du Lac, She
boygan, Stevens Point, Wausau, Grand
Rapids, Kaukauna, Neenah, Menasha,
Beaver Dam and Amigo.

VOTE BY MAIL

There is no reason why every voter
in the country cannot cast his vote
at the coming election. In past years
voters who were called away from
home on business matters were IN
able to vote, but this year provisions
have been made, which are easy to
comply with, whereby every man who
has vote can cast it for his favOrite
candidates, even if he is thousands
of miles from his home.
The following information has been
taken from the election laws for the
benefit of our readers, and we request
everyone who may be out of town on
election day to read the eNinformation
closely:
There is upon the statute books of
Wisconsin law relating to elections
which is of prime Importance to the
railroad man, the travelling man and
all others whose vOcatiOns may make
it necessary to be absent from their
election precinct upon election days.
This law is known as the absent Vot-
ing" law, and provides a means,
whereby the man who is absent from
his home precinct on election day may
cast his ballot by mail and have it
counted the same as tho he went to
the polls on election day.
This pamphlet is published for the
purpose of explaining the workings of
this law, and to state it in its simplest
form.
Any qualified elector in Wisconsin
who has been duly registered, whose
business compelS him to be absent
from his home precinct on election
day or who expects to be absent on
election day may vote by mail.
