one dreaced disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages, ana
that is catarrh. Catarrh being greatly
Influenced by constitutional conditions

THE AUGUST RAINS.
Cedar Rapids Republican,

The middle of August rains have
been a God-send to everything in
Iowa except the threshing operations.
The rains that come this time of the
year are always, to be dreaded by
those who have oats in the shock for
sometimes they linger long with just
enough wetness to spoil the grain for
the threshing machine. That is why
ave approve of running threshing
machines on Sundays-for which one
Methodist brother reproved us, but we
bore it meekly, recalling that even
Christ was rebuked for threshing
few grains in his hands to feed his
hunger on the sabbath day which he
frankly told them was made for the
use of man, as we'll as for telling 9TH
er men how to conduct their lives.
But for the corn, especially the late
corn the rains were needed and also
for the late potatoes and for many
things in the gardens, especially the
tomatoes which are one Of the prime
crops nowadays. The rain will also
benefit the pastures and by providing
autumn grasses thousands of bushels
of green corn will be conserved for
in some places the feeding Of both
cattle and hogs in pastures was i'm
minent in the face of the drouth and
the heat.
The rains have been general, not
only in Iowa, but throughout the west.

FIRE AT KINDERGARTEN BUILD.
ING

A car load of Illinois soft coal is
being taken out Of the coal bins at the
kindergarten because of spontaneous
combustion which has set fire to the
large pile of coal. The fire was dis
covered Tuesday evening, and efforts
were at once made to remove the coal
before the fire had time to blaze
up and set the building on fire. When
workmen dug into the pile Of coal
they found a large quantity of the
coal that had heated to the burning
stage and had formed mass Of live
Goals. 1t appears that the roof OF the
coal bins leaked during the heavy
rains last week, and this moisture,
with not enough of ventilation, caused
the combustion.
