Treatment.
The means recommended to bring

are but rarely effectual with this
variety; or, If successful, too much
time has been occupied In the cure.
More rapid methods Of treatment are
necessary. These consist, first of all,
in carefully exploring the tumor for
the presence of pus. The incisions
must be made over the softest part
and carried deep into the tumor-to
its very bottom, If necessary-and
the matter allowed to escape. After
this, and whether matter is found or
not, an acute Inflammation of the tu-
NOR must be induced, In order to pro-
mote solution Of the thick walls of
the abscess. This may be done by in
sorting well into the incision q piece

The Female of the Species.

Several bird observers about town
have been puzzled on account Of
their inability to identify some of
the birds patronizing "the free lunch
counters" If they will consult their
bird guides or other authorities they
will often find the puzzling plum
mage to have been that Of the female
of some well known songster or win
ter bird. The female in many instan-
ces is entirely different in plumagc
from her mate and often is not rec
osniZed on that account. Observers
think they have seen some new and
strange bird when in reality the bird
is only the housekeeper for her more
brilliantly colored lord.

Movement OIL Foot to Have the Sec

Inauguration.

Washington, Feb. 2O.--The Sec
ond regiment of the Iowa National
Guard may be used in the inaugural
ceremonies of President Wilson
March 5 to demonstrate the perfec-
ton the state troops have reached.
The urgent request that the crack
Iowa citizen soldiers be routed back
home by way of Washington was
made to the war department by Will
liam +. Muse, one of the publishers
Iof the Mason City Globe-Gazette,
who was in Washington ell route to
Porto Rico to visit his daughter.
Accompanied by Secretary Lauritz
Haugen, son of Congressman Haul
gen, dean Of the Iowa delegation,
and bearing letters from Senators
Cummins and Kenyon and all the
Iowa members of the lower house
urging the war department to order
the Iowa soldiers as a special detail
in the inaugural parade. Mr.. Muse
called upon Adjutant General Nc
Cain, and laid before him the spec

Earnest consideration of the plan
was assured by the army officer, who

question of recalling the Second

which the Iowa guardsmen have at

LOCAL BOY WINS
SIGNAL VICTORY
Arnold Schultz Wins in Periodical
Selling Contest-Free Trip to
Washington.

Arnold Schultz, the fourteen year
old son of DR.. and Mrs. A. F. Schultz
this morning received a dispatch
from the Curtis Publishing Company
in Philadelphia announcing that he
had received the first prize in the
periodical selling contest recently
inaugurated by that publishing
house, which consists of free trir
for himself and father to Washing
ton, d. c., to attend the Inaugural
ceremonies of President Wilson, and
five days of sightseeing in and
around Washington.
The news is a delightful sensation
for the boy who has been sitting on
the anxious seat since Jan. 18th
when the contest closed. Since that
date the committee have been count
ing the sales and the time has seem
led interminable to the lad who has
worked so hard for the prize. The
contest has been on since May or
June and included the sale of Satur-
day Evening Posts, Country Gentle
man, and Ladies Home Journal. Arm
old has been selling the periodicals
for three or four years and is a siren
uous worker.
The dispatch this morning asked
|if the recipient would like a stop
lover in Philadelphia on his way
home. The transportation for the
boy and his father will probably ar
rive next week.
Webster City people in genera!
will rejoice with Arnold in his
achievement.

TROOPS ARE ORDERED
HOME FROM BORDER
That is the Report Sent Out Satur-
day From Washington, so
Dispatches Say.

According to dispatches from
Washington orders were issued Sat-
urday by the war department direct
ing Gen. Funston to begin the i'm
mediate Rehabilitation Of all the
guard units remaining in border
camps, and it is expected that the
last troop train will be en- it's way
north by March Z. General Funs-
ton still will have on the border
nearly $4,000 troops, all Of the reg
ular army, disposed along the line
from Brownsville to Yuma, Ariz., on
plans worked out by the general
staff.
The command includes all of the
troops who were in Mexico under
General Pershing. General PERISH
ing will remain at Ell Paso, where he
is commanding a division, including
the largest cavalry unit on the line.
Secretary Baker says that the
withdrawal of the state troops is in
no way connected with the crisis
with Germany, but carries out pol
icy determined on long ago by the
administration. The order was is
sued after General Funston had re-
ported that he felt that lie had
enough men to meet any exigencies
Many guard units already had been
ordered home and the number Of
guardsmen remaining to be demobil-
lied under Saturdays order is about
$4,000.
If these reports are authentic, and
they appear to be, Webster City's
soldier boys will probably be home
some time next month.
