Why is man and woman. half the

and unstrung; some days really in-
capacitated by illness?
If we all would practice inside
bathing, what a gratifying change
would take place. Instead of thou
sands of half-sick. anaemic-look-
ing souls with pasty, muddy COM
plexions we should see crowds of

human system does not rid itself
each day OF all the waste which it
accumulates under our present mode
and drink taken into the system
nearly an ounce of waste material
must be carried out, else it fer
ments and forms ptomaine-like
poisons which are absorbed into the
blood.
Just as necessary as it is to clean
the ashes from the furnace each
day, before the fire will burn bright
and hot, so we must each morning
clear the inside organs of the pre-
gestible waste and body toxins.
Men and women. whether sick or
well, are advised to drink each
morning, before breakfast, glass
full of limestone phosphate in it, as
a harmless means of washing out

Character Vouchers

The United States Civil Service
Commission reports that on February
5. at Columbus. Ga, A. Everett was
sentenced to serve one year and one
day in the Federal penitentiary at
Atlanta.
Everett entered an examination
for the United States civil service

the Department OF Justice. Everett

irish QUESTION
/ UP IN SENATE
Borah Asked Hitchcock
About Presidents Talk on
: Subject at Dinner.

There appeared to be a difference
Of opinion yesterday as to just what
President Wilson said on the Irish
question to committee members OF
Congress attending his league Of
nations dinner Wednesday night
Some committee members origin
ally gave as their version OF the
Presidents expressed view on the
Irish problem. that it was a ques-
tion between England and Ireland
and not within the province Of the
league.
Secretary Tumulty declared the
President had authorized him to
deny the President said this to COM
mistee members. He declined to dis
cuss what. if anything, the Presi-
dent had said on the subject or
what were his views.
Almost simultaneously with the
white House denial Senator Hitch
cock declared on the floor Of the
Senate, that the President. in
answer to a question about Ireland,
said that the league had nothing
to do with internal and domestic
questions

Near East Fund Drive

Every indication now points to the
fact that Washington will again go
over the top in a war service cam

O'Keefe, who gave the authorities
no more specific address than Min
nesota, has been in Sheldon several
days, representing himself as seek
ing site for a hospital
In some manner he became &C
quainted with the Knauer family,
with whom an aged man, blind,
makes his home. O'Keefe offered to
restore his sight through an opera
ton, demanding check for 5000
before the operation was performed.
He took the old man into another
room, leaving him short time later
The Knauer family became suspic-
ious concerning the operation and
called in a Sheldon doctor. He I'M
wrapped the bandages from the old
mans head, finding, it is alleged,
that O'Keefe had barely touched him
with surgical instruments, making
no missions. The family immediate
ly caused O'Keefe's arrest, which
came before O'Keefe had an oppor-
tunity to cash the check given in
payment for the operation.

AROUSING AMBITION.
Teachers and Parents Should Make
Every EcOrt to Reason With
Children

No matter what generous appro-
prlations are made for the public
schools, no matter how faithful the
teachers, the results will be unsatis-
factory unless the children put heart
into their work. If they go over and
over their lessons in a routine way,
they will come through without any
education worthy the name.
The teacher may have to deal
with bunch of restless, wilful, and
often turbulent children. But if those
children can be inspired with de-
sire to be winners in life, they will
in the main forget their kid tricks,
and settle down to do some solid
work in the ten months of study now
beginning.
School practice has developed
various ways of arousing ambition.
The offering of prizes is one of the
most common. 1t is a useful thing to
show the children that the community
values good work and is disposed to
reward it. Citizens do "a splendid
thing when they make even small
gifts OF money to be used as prizes
for good scholarship.
However, as these prizes usually
go to children who are studious by
nature, and would do good school
work anyway, they are far from solv-
ing the whole problem. Appealing to
the spirit of competition was
method that the old time schoo,
adapted with much success. The idea
of having the best speller stand at
the head of the class and the poorest
at the foot, lwas an old method of
arousing ambition that showed lot
of knowledge Of human nature.
: Teachers and parents should mG::e
every effort to reason with children.
and make them see how their whole
future depends upon their making
good use of the splendid oppor-
tunities given to the pupils privileged
to attend the schools of DEBORAH.
They should be constantly reminded
that the boy and girl who makes
good in school, is usually the same
one who makes good in business and
industry later on.

Airplane Lands in Field.

Monday afternoon a couple of
gentlemen flying from the Twin
Cities to Waterloo, landed in the field
just south of the Ira Foster house
west of Riceville finding it necessary
to replenish their gasoline tank, and
also to get a drink of water which
they could not find up where they
were travelling. They landed all right
but after their wants had been sup
piled, the aviator in endeavoring to
take to the air again, failed to rise
soon enough and ran into a wire
fence and damaged his plane, which
is large one. A piece was broken
out Of the propeller and the frame
work damaged in several places.
The fiiers found it necessary to
leave the machine in the field await
ing repairs, and staked 1t to the
ground so it might not be waited
away by an Iowa zephyr. The men
were a little reluctant about saying
very much, but this much was learn.
