FACTS FROM HISToRY's PAGES
Some Things Which the Reader May
or May Not Know Concerning
the Worlds Great Ones.

Some Of the worlds most noted
characters have never written more
than a line; or at least no trace Of
such writings can be found. Socrates
left no writings. Shakespeare has left
only q few autographs for present-day
people to see.
OF the 26 barons who signed the
Magma Charta, only three could write
their own names.
Bishop Potter worked 20 years on
his Analogy" and then wanted to
burn 1t because he thought it not good
enough.
George Eliot read more than 1000
volumes before she began to write
Daniel Deronda."
There are 2,O64 languages spoken In
the world.
Among the great men of the world,
the following are said to have had
blue eyes: Socrates, Shakespeare,
Loche, Bacon, Milton, Goethe, Napole-
on, Franklin and Humboldt.

Africa's Big Population.

Nearly one-fourth of the earth's land
surface is comprised within the CONT
.nent of Africa, and 1t Is as far around
the coast of Africa as it is around the
world. Every eighth person of the
worlds population lives In the Dark
Continent. The blacks double their
number every 40 years and the whites
every so years. There are S43 lam
guages and dialects spoken among the
blacks of Africa, but only n few Of
them written. One area in Africa I'M
occupied by missionaries is three times
the size of Ohio. Throughout Africa
there is one missionary for every 1885,
600 souls.

NEW SURGICAL OPERATION.
Promises to Save Tiny Babe al
MarshalItown

The performing of new surgical
operation, described within the past
year and known as the Rammstedt
operation, promises to save the life
of babe who had been given up
to die because of mal-nutrition.
The operation, performed Friday
at the Deaconess hospital, in Mar
shalltown gives every indication of
being successful. The patient was
Orchlyn, the 6weeks-old son of Mr..
and Mrs. L. Bellus, sol Arson st.
Since birth the baby has not been
able to assimilate its food. 1t has
vomited continuously, and nothing
that could be found would agree
with the child or could be retained
on its stomach. The diagnosis of
mal-nutrition was general or the
part of physicians who had seen the
babe.
DR.. w. F. Hamilton after making
a study of the babes case, made
the diagnosis of congenital stem
osis of the outlet of the stomach,
or an obstruction of the outlet of
the stomach, due to congenitally en-
larged muscles whish prevented the
contents of the stomach passing in
to the bowels. The parents con-
sented to an operation as the only
hope of saving the child, and this
was performed by DR.. R. E. Keyser,
assisted by DR.. Hamilton. The
operation, which took only ten
minutes, consisted of splitting the
thickened muscle fibers around the
outlet of the stomach and permit
ting its contents to pass into the
intestines, thus relieving the OBJ
struction. Since operation the babe
has taken its feelings and able to
retain them without vomiting.
The old and usual operation for
cases of this kind has been the
gastro-enterostomy, or the making
of an artificial opening for the
stomach. The mortality in these
operations in babes ami children is
about 20 per cent, and the RAM
mstedt operation therefore was well
coined by surgeons. The operation
is the first of its kind done in any
local hospital.

Army Life There.

DESTROYS of Entering the Next
Officers Training School Which
Opens i'm October
Camp Grant, Ill.
June IS, 1918


Dear Mabel:
Well there is nothing much new
on this job of mine, namely guard
ing the niggers and walking post
with your gun loaded and your
bayonet fixed. The case has gone
to the president and / hope he
hurries up on it, although | wouldn't
want him to throw aside more i'm
portant work just to sentence 81
niggers, but on this job We get no
drilling or rife practice and per-
son is inclined to grow stale, but
it will soon be over. 1t is my sur
mise from what read in the papers
that most of the accused are guilty.
1 would rather be out in No Mans
Land than be in their boots.
Last Saturday / was fortunate
to get pass to Chicago unexpected
ly; in fact l had to run to catch
my train, as they always hold up the
passes until the last minute. We
are just short distance from the
officers Training Camp and can see
them rushing around doing 10
minutes of this drill and 80 min
utes of something else. They sure
have a wonderful course and a
stiff one too. Its no disgrace not
to make good. Lots of fellows
have resigned for they couldn't
keep up the pace. If / am here
in October / am going to make ap-
plication for the next camp. All
the students in the camp wear
name plates on their shirts and no
matter whether they are drilling
or walking around they are being
watched constantly by the officers
hid away some place with field glas-
SEES, so if they do anything that they
are not supposed to do their
name is taken and they are given
a demerit mark, so you see they
are made to toe the mark at all
times.
l hear the machine guns and
rifles popping away off on the range
this morning. :. / hope l soon get
a couple of days out there, for
would like to find out what kind
of a shot l am. Hope you get a
chance to run up to Cresco and see
my wife while she is there with
the Redpath Chautauqua on the
22d. She is with Ed. Andrews
Opera Company. With best regards
to all
Sincerely your cousin,

Shenandoah, June 24.-Suit has
just been started in the superior
court of Shenandoah, against S. L.
Anderson, of Essex, for 500, by
the American Red Cross, Shenan-
doah chapter.
On the II OF last April, Ander-
son was brought before the mill
tary bureau at Shenandoah, by Mr..
Hi Hackey, special governors agent
where he was shown the light and
where he finally consented to sign
the loyalty card, subscribe for So, 90
0 worth of the third liberty bonds
and donate 500 to the Red Cross
society, altho before that he had
defied his loyal neighbors in Essex
by refusing even to sign a loyalty
card. He claimed biblical reasons
for his position including the sixth
commandment.
He took the bonds and gave his
check on the Commercial National
bank of Essex for 500 payable on
or before May %, 1918.
When the time came around, he
had become enraged at the manage
ment of the Commercial National
bank because of the banks untiring
energy and devotion to war activities
for the country and removed his
substantial deposit to a bank in
Shenandoah, and refused to pay or
recognize the check, although An
derson is a rich man.
1t is thought the case can be tried
at the July session at Shenandoah,
and will create no end of interest.
II Anderson permits it to go that
far There is a good deal of specu-
lation as to whether Anderson can
secure a lawyer in these parts to
defend him in such a suit.

Present Food Conserya ion Program
Eat the perishables.
Do not eat canned goods.
Double canning and preserving
operations.
Cut out wheat -four.
Save Beef
Conserve sugar.
Every pound OF perishables con-
sumed in Iowa released pound of
staple food for a soldier in France.
And every pound of perisha5I>s
eaten contributes to our health.
Drying is Urged This Season.
Iowa people are asked to attempt
to can and dry and store their en-
tire winter supply of fruits and
vegetables. The extension depart
ment of Iowa State college is de-
voting especial attention to drying
and evaporating work. Instructions
as to how to make and use home
dryers will be ready within a few
days. For those communities which
wish to establish community dryers,
evaporators, and Gamers, the COL
lege will furnish an engineer to
go over the ground and make plans.
He will come free Of any expense
except railroad fare and travelling
expenses.
Community drying is expected to
aid the food conservation program
by making possible the using Of
food products which are perisha BILE
and which have hitherto been used
only for "a short season or which
have largely gone to waste Be-
sides assisting in conserving food,
it will add variety to the diet.
Use Surplus Fats in Soap.
Rancid or surplus fats which other
wise would be wasted may be saved
and made into soap, say the homo
economics authorities at Iowa State
college. The average housewife
will find the cold process soap the
most practical and the easiest TO
make. For this, mutton, beef or
bacon fat and beef suet mixed with
rancid oils may be used. These
should first be clarified by adding
1 pint of cold water to or 3
pounds of melted fat. The fat will
solidify on top of the water and the
solid materials will be left at the
bottom. To every seven pounds Of
melted fat add one pound of I've
dissolved in 3 quarts of water and
stir until it assemblies honey. Care
should be taken that the fat is not
too hot when the I've is added. Pour
tie mixture into wooden or paste
hoard boxes or granite pans Never
use tin. When almost hard, cut in
70 squares. Allow to ripen a month
OF go before using in order that
the I've may be completely united
with the fat.
10 Preserve Bun ter For Winter &c.
Mould butter in one or Two pound
rolls. Wrap in parchment paper.
Make brine using 50 lbs. Of salt to
IL gallons of water. Dissolve salt
completely by stirring or chirEing,
Have brine as cool as possible, place

Governor Shaw is said to be the

Lincolnesque In expression than any
