To Waterproof Tents.

Here is the way to waterproof cloth !:
Dissolve ten pounds of rosin in four
gallons Of hot linseed oil. Pour; into
tub 70 which 4 swringer is attached.
Pass the cloth through the hot oil and,
as soon as we'll soaked, through the
wringer. Spread on fence or ground
Immediately until thoroughly dry. Dry
ing may take q week Or more. This
solution .willftreat about fifty yards Of
cloth. 49,.

the solution in and let it soak for
twelve hours. then rinse in lukewarm

satisfaction that outweighs and out

my own experience, and can call to
witness the thousands Of others who
have travelled the same road. .

Poisons. In the Stomach.

. A most curious fact is that all food
contains the elements Of poison, and
III our body poisons are manufactured
from these. For; instance, meat, fish,
cheese and milk are composed Of hy-.
drogen, carbon, nitrogen and oxygen.
Take away the last and you have prus-
sic acid. We do not manufacture
prussic acid, it is true. But in every
stomach In the world fermentation
goes on just as In brewery, and the
poisonous carbonic acid is made in
large quantities. If you breathed a,
few days output Of carbonic acid gas
you would inevitably die. Sulphuret-
ed hydrogen is one Of the most deadly
gases known, vet in every stomach it
is made at one time or another. In the
stomach all food is converted into
what we call '.peptone," and If very
small quantity of this found its way
into the blood It would kill as surely
as prussic acid.-Pearson's Weekly. !.

THE DENIsoN NORMAL COLLEGE.

TE0 committee appointed by the di-
rectOrs Of the normal college some
few weeks ago had meeting Monday
night lat the Carnegie library rooms
to canvass the question of what shall
be done with the college at the end Of
this school year. Nothing definite
was decided beyond the fact that it
was deemed advisable to call a meet
ing of the stockholders of the college
association for Tuesday night Of next
week at 500 o'clock at the city hall.
We sincerely hope that every stock
holder in the Normal School associa-
ton will be on hand in order to help
decide the future OF the school.
This is an important matter and
should not be neglected. If Denison
is going into a plan Of Improvement it
must not be lost sight of that the most
important improvement is one that
meets the demands for education and
the offering of facilities for the chill
dren of the county to gain an educa-
ton. If some other plan can be de-
yised which will relieve few people
Of maintaining the college and the
opportunities for education will prove
as ample as those now afforded by the
college, we have no objection to the
change, but as long as there is no
suggestion made which offers encour-
agement that the same benefits can
be secured as through the medium OF
the college we are not disposed to
abandon the perpetuation of the col
lege. This, however, is a matter for
the stockholders of the college to de-
eide. We trust that the citizens of
Denison will all take an interest in
this meeting regardless of whether
they have stock in the college and
will attend the meeting and give US
the benefit Of their suggestions. Ev-
cry friend Of the college and every
friend of the plan to have the school
district take over the college should
attend the meeting on Tuesday owe

From tha Cellar Of Life.

Do not be afraid, do not cry out, for
life is good. I came from low down.
from the cellar of life, where darkness
and terror reign, where man is half
beast and life is only fight for bread.
It flows slowly there, in dark streams,
but even there CLEAN pearls Of courage,
Of intelligence and Of heroism, even
therebeauty and love exist. Everywhere
that man is found, good is: in tiny:
particles and invisible roots-but still
it Is there. All these roots will not
perish; some will grow and,fiourish and
bear fruit. I bought deafly the right
to believe this;s theref fore, my.
whole, life long. And thus, I have won
yet another; Hght the rish llaasna nd
that you, too. believe as do, for I am
the voice Of that life, the despairing
cry Of those who, remain below and
who have sent me to herald their pain.
They also long to rise to self respect,
to light and freedom.-Gorky in THE

IOWA SENATORS IN LIMELIGHT'

We doubt if the two Iowa senators
had foreseen the wave of denuncia-
ton which was to followtheir course
in joining the LaFoliette combination
10 defeat the presidents neutrality
bill, that they would have taken the
course they: did. We do not think
either one of the senators can be ac-
cused of failure to keep their ears
to the ground to find out what public
sentiment is and to govern themselves
accordingly, but in this instance they
seem to have misjudged the condition
of the sentiment OF the country an INC
to have adopted q course which VIII
PROVE very ldisagreeable @for them 3in.
tile future. The charge is made that
they were influenced, as was LaFol-
lette, by the thought that large rae
ton of the voters would come to their
support without any hostile demon
strationt upon the part Of the people
generally, but if this was their motive
they certainly have found they were
In error because the legislatures OF
nearly all of the states in the union
have Joined in denouncing their con-
duct, and the people generally are Sc
we're in their criticism against them
because they refused to permit q
measure of great Importance to come
to vote Little criticism would have
been lodged against our senators II
they had opposed the measure to De
voted upon, and even if they had vot-
ed against it, but the refusal to al
low a vote by filibustering tactics is
what causes the criticism against,
them. Both the Iowa senators have
made statements since intended to
Justify their course, but their expla-
nation does not seem to satisfy the
people. The members of the Iowa,del-
egation; unless with one exception,s
voted to support the president. Even
Congressman Woods, who has always
followed the course of Senator Cum
Minis voted to sustain the president.
We believe the effect Of this incident
wilLseryr to ,caAthe attention of the
country to the fact that these pro-.
gressiye leaders are not patriots nor
are they interested in anything ex-
cept to have their own way in legis-
lation. Bit recently an illustration
was had of the selfishness OF their
purposes when the chairman of the
congressional committee was select
ed. The progressives very promptly
made known their purposes to .contro!
the appointment of the chairman or
that they would not work with the re-
publican organization with the result
that they in effect coerced the major
ity OF the committee into making a
progressive chairman Of the commit
tee. But recently when the national
committee selected John Adams, OF
Dubuque, to an important position on
the committee the progressives such
as Perkins and others promptly de.
nounced the promotion of Mr.. Adams
and said he was a reactionary and

not in any sense reactionary, but a

he did not have the endorsement of

therefore they resent his appoint

Sleep and Dreams.

i The brain is more active while en-,
gagged in dreaming than when not thus
engaged. The only perfect sleep is
that which is dreamless. The moment
the sleeper begins to dream he begins
to work, and the more vivid and pro
tracted the dream the more intense,
naturally, becomes the work. 1t is
possible that at no time during the
waking hours of life is the brain SO
active as it is in the strange business
Of dreaming. ..

ESCAPED FROM AUTO

Prisoner Being Taken From Indiana
to Webster City Jumps From Car
While Sheriff Nelson Is Passing Thru
This City-Officers Are on Lookout
For Prisoner.
While being taken thru this city en-
route to Webster City from a point
in Indiana, a prisoner, one Of three
in the custody of Sheriff Rufus Nelson,
Of Hamilton county, jumped from a
moving automobile short distance
west of Twelfth street at noon today
and made good his escape.
The man who escaped was one Of
three r-l wanted for an automobile
theft which was committed at Webster
City a few weeks ago. Sheriff Nelson
got track of the car, and the men sup
posed to be the thieves, in Indiana.
The sheriff caused the arrest Of the
men and he was bringing them back
to Webster City in the stolen car.
At Twelfth street the sheriff had to
stop for some tire trouble. He I'M
locked the handouts of one of the men
in order that he might lend assistance
In putting on a new tire. The man
complained Of being cold when the
work was finished, and the sheriff did
not like to replace his handouts while
the prisoners hands were chilled.
Shortly after he started on his journey
the sheriff looked in the back seat, to
find his man missing.
The prisoner Is described as being
a boy Of 10, five feet, nine inches tall,
and stoop shouldered. He wore
brown suit, a plaid cap. and gray
overcoat. The latter was found this
afternoon on North Seventh street, the
prisoner evidently having discarded it
to lessen chances Of being identified.
The sheriffs officers and the police
were both engaged in a search for the
man this afternoon.
