DANIELS IN NASHVILLE
MAKING BAD MEDICINE WITH
OTHERS OF THE CLOTH
WATER AND CROPS.

DIR. w. +. Daniels, who left Mad
ison last week to attend a convention
of the National Eclectic Medical as
ISOLATION, arrived in Nashville sun
day morning. He was net at the
train by a committee of physicians,
and entertained in one of Nashville's
finest homes until Monday afternoon
when he removed to the headquar-
ters.
Tuesday forenoon he. as president
Of the organization, called the meet
ing to order, about 100 medical men
being in attendance. Gov. +. G. Rye,
of Tennessee, a strong and success
full temperance worker, welcomed
the medical men to the state. Mayor
Ewing welcomed them to the city,
welcome on behalf of the physicians
of Tennessee. At the afternoon ses-
sion the convention was entertained
for a while by a jubilee company,
following which DR.. Daniels made
the annual address to a full audience.
Many who attended his lecture Sun
day were present. The address is
said to be one of the best the asso-
citation ever had presented.
Wednesday was given TO sectional
work, in the morning. after which
the delegates visit the Hermitage,
Andrew Jackson's former home,
where they are to have a barbecue
and a generally hilarious time.
This is the most numerously at
tended national gathering of this as
ISOLATION they ever had, the doctor
says. 1t was expected that there
would not be SO many as at previous
meetings, because so many of the
younger men have enlisted their
services in the army. But the num-
Der is larger. The talk Is all of war
and Red Cross, the doctor asserts.
On the lowlands through eastern
Iowa water has destroyed thousands
of acres of crops, DIR. Daniels adds.
The Cedar and Iowa rivers are Dor
dered by soiled fields of grain. Along
THE Mississippi were miles of flooded
land, and in many places small viii

arrests were made at Henderson.
II. w. Sweeney. mayor of Henderson,
made this statement:
NO peddler was arrested or held
here for selling court plaster. but
there was a report that n was sell
ing court plaster here, some claiming
il contained leprosy germs"
The story got spread about and
peace officers have used it as a basis
for a warning to the general public.

is being driven into the homes of the
belligerents has been realized i'm the

malignant and incurable disease i'm
the world.
The man, when arrested, assumed
an Indifferent attitude. He had
$1,000 I'm money on his person. No
disposition has been made of his case.
Burning at the stake or hanging
would be too good for this man." Mr..
Forrest said. His detection simply
goes to show the seriousness of war
conditions, even i'm our own homes
and should be a grave warning to all
housewives TO beware of peddlers
and transients."

REAR PORCH ARTIST
PHONES ORDERS FOR ABSENT
GETS GOODS AFTER DARK
WITHOUT NOTICE.

Placing orders late in the day to
be sent TO residences the owners of
which are out of town. then visiting
the back porch after dark and max
ing the harvest, seems to be about
the easiest way to make a living, as
evidenced by the fact that this meth
cd has come into practice by some
crooked individual within the past
few days. Three instances of the
scheme has come to light within the
past week.
IL is the part of the person desir-
ing groceries to know first that the
family is away from home for some
time, and second, to know at what
store the family trades. Then he
phones an order to the store late in
the day. The delivery man takes the
goods, and not finding the family at
home. naturally places them on the
rear porch or in the back shed.
When night comes he visits the place
and takes them away with him.
Simple. efficient and remunerative,
isn't it,?
The residence of II. II. Cole, in
Blanche avenue n was favored with
these attentions and the promoters"
got away with Sc worth of groceries.
The j.. F. Stahl residence i'm Third
street NV also received an order of
goods, but they were found just be
fore dark by III. A. Stahl and cared
for by him. Another home received
goods. and they, too, were found by
a neighbor. The inventive person
plying this trade has not been APP
pretended.

Council Bluffs, June ga man
named Wilson was arrested here to-
day while ~canvassing the residence
districts trying to sell court plaster
and is held for Investigation. He
has a German appearance, though he
denies being a German and exhibits
little concern over his arrest.
Widespread rumors Of a German
plot to sell court plasters to Ameri-
can people impregnated with leprosy
germs is behind the arrest. The
court plaster bears the imprint of a
St. Louis firm and Wilson says he
bought his supply there.

learn that William Maule, and ]. A.

sigma kThe vacancy caused by the
resignation Of Mr. Maule, has been
filled by Carl Jacobsen. Carl is a
good clean young man with good

will make good if elected. Mr.. R..
NJ Hutchinson is the man chosen to
fill the vacancy of Mr.. Judd. Mr..

hope that with ticket selected in
a mass meeting which gave every
one an opportunity to help in the
selection, we might eliminate any
strife, but now that there will be
two tickets let us have a friendly
election just the same. Harmony has
prevailed among the people of Pay
cite for some time, let it continue.

the bank of the main canal east of

an amateur on the job, D. Collins
lost control of the car and went
into the canal. Fortunately he was
going at low rate of speed and
no harm was done. Mr.. A. E. Wood,
who was in the car with Mr.. Col
Inns, jumped out as the car went
down. 1t was prevented from turn
ing over by falling against a fence
across the ditch. The garage men
went up and pulled the car out, and
Mr.. Collins went on his way rajoic-
ing, but undoubtedly will stay away
from the ditch bank until he be-
comes accustomed to driving.
