THE WINE pELusIoN.

DIR. William Brady, In the Chicago
News, recently exploded the old SUI
perstition that wine is a strength
building tonic. He says:
For a long time there has been a
suspicion growing among thoughtful
physicians that alcohol does not de-
serve the reputation our medical ia
theirs gave it In medicine. First it was
proved beyond question that alcohol
was not a food. Then it was settled
that alcohol does not stimulate the
heart or the brain. Then it was found
that alcohol does not help digestion,
but rather inhibits or delays diges-
ton.
"But alcohol, as wine or as some
alleged tonic, taken in dessert-spoonful
or tablespoonful or larger doses, does
flush the invalid's face for times
does make the invalid feel warm, does
lower the body temperature slightly
Coy excessive heat radiation from re-
Taxed or dilated surface vessels), does
impede the mental processes, does de-
lay the normal nervous response to
any external stimulus Gas in quick fir
ing at a target that moves) and does
render the victim of the delusion tenn
porarily forgetful of his troubles.
"a mighty poor tonic after all.
$50 far as any strengthening or
blood building effect is concerned, a
glass of milk will accomplish about
four times as much as the same guam
tlty of the best wine will accomplish
and do no possible HARM"

To be possessed of head of heavy,
beautiful hair; soft, lustrous, fluffy,
wavy and free from dandruff is merely
a matter of using little Danderlne.
1t is easy and inexpensive to have
nice, soft hair and lots Of it. Just get
small bottle Of Knowlton's Danderine
now-it costs but few cents-all drug
stores recommend it-apply little as
directed and within ten minutes there
will be an appearance Of abundance,
freshness, fluffiness and an incompara-
bic gloss and lustre, and try as you
will you cannot find trace of dandruff
or falling hair; but your real surprise
will be after about two weeks use,
when you will see new hair-fine and
downy at first--yes-but really new
hair-sprouting out all over your scalp
--Danderine is, we believe, the only
sure hair grower, destroyer Of dam
druff and cure for itchy scalp, and it
never fails to stop falling hair at once.
II you want to prove how pretty and
soft your hair really is, moisten cloth
with a little Danderine and carefully
draw it through your hair-taking one
small strand at time. Your hair will
be soft,s glossy and beautiful in just
a few moments-a delightful surprise
awaits everyone who tries this. SAdv.

"You sign this deed of your own

OKRA GOOD IN GARDENS


Okra, or gumbo, is a desirable
addition to the vegetables grown
in the home garden. 1t has been
grown and used for years in the
South, where it is found in al
most every garden, and is in
creasing in popularity in the
North.
In regions where the growing
seasons are very short, okra
plants may be started in a hot
bed or greenhouse and trans
planted to the open ground.
Okra Is easily grown on any
good soil, and a few plants will
be sufficient for the average fam
lily.
The edible portion consists of
the pods, which must be gath
cred and used while young and
tender.
Okra is used mainly in soups,
but may be served as a vegeta-
BILE, boiled or baked, or as a
salad. 1t may be kept for win
ter use by canning or drying.
The United States department
of agriculture has recently re-
published Farmers Bulletin 232,
Culture and Uses of Okra."

GEORGE DAWSON MAR
RIED AT DIES MONIES

George +. Dawson, of Camp Cody,
Deming. N NJ. who is home on a
thirty day furlough for recovery
| from a very severe attack of spinal
meningitis, very much surprised his
frineds here and in Des Moines when
he introduced his wife, Mrs. George
Dawson.
On March 22nd was performed the
ceremony by w. j. Bryce. pastor of
Calvary Baptist church, Des Moines,
which united in holy wedlock Mr.
George Dawson and Miss Essie o.
Winberg, of Des Moines.
George, who, is the eldest son of
Mr.. and Mrs. j. w. Dawson of this
city, is one of the best athletes Au-
dubon county has ever produced.
He was recognized as the most clev-
err mat artist in Oskaloosa while at
tending Penn college of that city and
was a member of Iowa University's
great wrestling team last year. Now
/ he is known to be the champion
middleweight wrestler of Camp Cody
since he beat powerful, clever
wrestler in a carnival at Deming.
He was considered the best lineman
in one of the most powerful and sue
cessful football teams in Camp Cody.
OF course almost everyone remem-
bers that George was champion corn
husker of the corn belt. Who ever
can husk and crib 100 bushels a
day for 80 days is clever and hard
to defeat.
Audubon County citizens are
proud to recall that George was
among the very first, if not the
first, to volunteer his services to
help the United States crush imper-
ialism and to preserve democracy
On April 26th 1917. he with other
University students left Iowa City
to enlist with Battery ID of Daven-
port. While waiting to be called
into active service he recruited for
the Third Iowa Infantry. Several Of
his recruits are now in the Rainbow
division.
His bride, who is the daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. N. Winberg of 1851
Walker street, Des Moines, was an
East High student and a graduate
of the Capitol City Commercial Col
lege. She is considered one of the
most rapid and accurate stenograph-
ers of Des Moines, and was with the
Travellers Insurance Co.
Many charming propensities COM
bine to make Mrs. Dawson a very at
tractive lady. Her graces and man
ner in polite society have won her
many admirable friends in East Des
Moines where she is known. She is
highly esteemed and regarded.
Among other accomplishments her
musical ability is enviable.
George and his bride are now Wis
iting his parents but will soon re-
turn to Des Moines from where he
will proceed to Camp Cody to report
for duty April 18th with expecta-
tions of going soon to France.

SCHOOL TEACHERS
AS LIBERTY BOND Statesmen

Little has been said in this Third
Liberty Loan ampaign of the import
ant part the country school teacher
can play in making it a success. The
country school house is the farmers
forum. 1t is the meeting place OF
the country side. The school teacher
ecan convert himself into a bond sales
man for his government il he choos-
es. The farmer respects the school
teacher He knows the young man
or the young woman as the case may
be, and respects his or her intelli-
gence. The school teachers all real
ize the Importance of concerted ac-
ton in this matter OF providing the
government with funds in a great
crisis such as this.
Let the school teachers explain to
their pupils and to parents the finan-
cling of our earlier wars and impress
upon them the importance of giving
the government whole-hearted sup
port in this, the greatest war the
world has ever seen. Americas
greatness today is due to what is al
ways referred to as the Little Red
School House." The country's great
est statesmen and builders and mer-
chants learned their first lessons in
the country school house under the
instruction of the country school
teacher. The school teacher can con-
tribute to further Americas great
ness by speaking for the government
at this time and making certain the
defeat. of brutal and cynical auto
cratic power. School teachers. talk
and take Liberty Bonds.

ASK HORNING ABOUT 1T

Do you know how to pronounce
and give the definition of the follow
ing three words? Tetranitromethy-
laniline, trinitrotuloul. trinitronaph-
aline. If so. you can qualify as an
agent for the issuing of licenses I'M
der the federal law governing the
sale and purchase of explosives. AT
least that is what John Horning,
Clerk of the District Court. says;
and he is the licensing agent for the
county under this law.
Mr.. Horning has received from the
Federal bureau having charge of the
enforcement of this law list of the
explosives for which licenses are re-
quired by dealers and purchasers and
the words quoted appear in the list.
There are a number of others equal
ly as long. There is also list OF
ingredients, the sale and purchase OF
which requires a license. This list
contains the names of 43 iterls rang
ing from barium to strontium. All
druggists are affected by the law
governing the sale of ingredients
used in the manufacture of explos-
ives.
1t behooves q dealer in any OF
these explosives or ingredients to &c
around with a pharmacopedia under
his arm.

and among his army of friends. Mr..
Bonwell is one of our tried and
trusted pioneers. who is known in
all parts of the county. and his
friends will be glad to know that
he is in good health and spirits.

A NEW SERVICE STATION

Rem Phelps. manager of the &C.
dar Rapids Oil Co.. informs us that
he is going to have one Of the neat
est service stations to be found in
southwestern Iowa. The company
will send landscape artist to Au-
dubon soon to lay out and plat the
ground in front Of his oil station
and home. This will be converted
into a beautiful garden which will
have all kinds of flowers. The ser
vice pump is near the curbing so
that it is easy of access. A whole
sale price has been made to the con-
sumner of gasoline and oil. This will
mean big saving to those who
drive automobiles. Mr.. Phelps is to
be commended for this progressive
step and he will have the backing
of his company to the limit so that
the success of the venture will be
assured and without question. AS
soon as the weather is settled work
on the plans will be started. This
will give North Washington street
something to be proud Of.

FIRE DESTROYS SOME
FINE FARM PROPERTY
Twelve Horses Perish i'm Fire at tho
Farm of Niels Winters at an
Early Hour Today

A fire of unknown origin started
in the east barn at the farm of Niels
Winthers at four O'Clock this morn
ing. Mr.. Winthers resides on the
John Sherman place four and half
miles northwest of the city The
family was awakened at four o'clock
by noises in the barn, and when Mr..
Winthers got to the, barn he discov-
cred mass of flames. An alarm was
given and many of the neighbors re-
sponded. However by the time
help arrived on the scene the heat
was so intense that nothing could
be gotten out of the barn. The
flames soon spread TO the corn crib
and hog house, which were also con-
sumed by the flames.
About seven O'Clock the city/fire
department was called to help save
the residence. A part of the fire
equipment was taken out and many
of the fire boys responded to the
call With the assistance of the
neighbors and the firemen, the blaze
was soon under control.
Twelve head of horses persisted in
the fire. one horse was so badly
burned that it had to be shot later.
tity of hay, 500 bushels of oats, a
quantity Of barley and other small
grain was also lost, as well as all
harness and mny farm implements.
Two car loads of cattle and one
car load of hogs were driven to safe
ty.
About all that remains is the
house pump house, chicken coop and
the automobile. The loss is esti-
mated at about $4,000, and is part
ly covered by insurance. Mr. Win
theirs thought he had about $4,000
insurance. but part of this is on
other buildings.
1t is indeed unfortunate that a
fire so destructive should occur at
this time. The horses and grain are
badly needed at this time when the
farmer is about ready to begin work
in the fields. .

THIS STORY is FOR GIRLS

Miss Gladys M. Spencer. of High
land Park. ILL.,, told $50 girls, rang
ing around IT years old, her expert
ences as Red Cross worker in
France. and girls everywhere will be
thrilled over her talk.
"Once while l was, very close to
the front lines with my ambulance"
she said. 81 was put in charge OF
several other machines and ordered
to return the wounded to the base
hospitals. 1t was then that had my
first real good opportunity to observe
the wonderful spirit of the French
soldiers. They remain quiet no mat
ter how much pain they are in, and
there is very little grumbling. AL
ways you can find a smile. And
they are going to win the war;"
1t is difficult to realize that a
tenderly reared American girl han
died herself with so much poise in
a shell shattered area. The group
of girls she was addressing were pre-
pairing themselves to face the same
dangers, and thousands OF other
American girls and women as nurses
are more than doing their bits.
ION another OCCASION" she said.
IT drove my ambulance to a freight
house to remove some large boxes.
Only old men. were left to lift the
boxes, or men convalescing from
wounds. The boxes were too heavy
for them, so three other women and
myself pitched in and loaded the
cars. The men smiled sadly and
wistfully.
1.-THE spirit of the entire French
people is sunny. They are delighted
over America, and they firmly be-
lieve that with our help the Germans
will be a thing Of the past in a very
short time.
