Phone Wire Kills Farmer.

Keystone.-While trying to re-
pair his telephone Ernest F. Meyer,
a young farmer who lives on the
Lincoln highway in Union township,
about two miles from Keystone was
instantly killed. The telephone had
been working badly for sometime and
finally became out of commission, so
he decided to make an investigation,
not knowing that the entire line had
become heavily charged by the low
hanging electric wire of the Iowa
Railway Power & Light company.
The company will now have more
trouble-a big damage suit.

AUTO RAT EXTERNINATOR.
Trusty Old Ford Drives the Rodents
Away

A new use for the Ford car, or any
other automobile for that matter
was demonstrated Wednesday after
noon by w. L. Fuller, 1411 South
Center street, at Marshalltown, when
Mr.. Fuller used his Ford as a rat
exterminator, says the Times Re-
! publican.
Should any one question the eff
ficacy Of an automobile to kill rats
let him try Fuller's plan. 1t worked
for Fuller beyond his expectations.
Having read of persons being kill
ed by carbonmonoXide gas poisoning,
by allowing their automobiles to
run in their closed garages, Fuller
concluded that if hose were at
tached to the exhaust of his car, and
the other end stuck down a rat
hole, the gas would kill rats as we'll
as humans by producing carbonyl-
hematoXemia.
1t would be natural to suppose
that the Fullers are, or rather have
been bothered with rats. Henry Hille-
man, neighbor across the street,
lost several young chickens in one
night recently from rats. Mrs. Fuller
lived in daily fear that the rats
would get her chicks, and she went
to the trouble to lock them up each
night to prevent raids by the rodents.
So Mr.. Fuller tried out his carbon
mOnoXide gas remedy. He made sure
that his COW barn was not inhabited
by anything but rats underneath the
floor, and closed it up as tightly as
he could. Then he set his automobile
engine running and placed the end Of
the hose in a good sized rat hole. 1t
looked soon as tho the bottom Of the
barn was on fire, so thoroughly did
the gas fumes penetrate the ground
and come out of the crevices of the
barn floor. After what he considered
thorough application he stopped
his engine, removed the hose and
took up couple of boards of the
barn floor. There. huddled together
in small space, with their noses
stuck into the ground in an effort to
get away from the fumes, were %
dead rats. This morning five more
were found, and how many more
were killed is not known.
1t took not more than fifteen minu-
ties to do the job, whereas poison,
traps and other means of eXtermina-
ton had failed.

Jumps i'm Tank With Clothes Attire

Herbert, one of the nine year old
twin sons of VIM. Borchers and wife,
was terribly burned Monday. The
boys were playing and tried to make
a match crack by laying it on a stone
and hitting it with another stone
when the head of the match flew off
and ignited and set fire to his pants
leg and his clothing burned rapidly.
He ran and jumped into the water

even then his leg, side, arm and
back were terribly burned. A ply
stefan was called as soon as possible

a terrible shock and the result is

1t Is easy to make mistakes in the
hanging of pictures. Observing the
following as guide, you will make
fewer mistakes In this respect. First,
plain paper for the room is almost
Imperative. This will give you an op-
portunity to use all the pictures, no
matter what they are. Soft grays
ana terra Gotta tones are best for
background. Avoid figured and high
ly-colored papers as these prevent the
picture from standing out. Be careful
not to tilt the pictures too much. Hang

Henry Closing Takes Own Life,


This community was shocked when
the word went around that Henry
Closing, member of the hardware
firm of Closing Bros, had committed
suicide at about 1000 o'clock this
morning, by shooting himself with a
revolver.
His brother Fred informed us that
Henry had worried much lately about
his eyesight, and feared he would
lose the use Of his eyes entirely, one
eye being badly effected and almost
sightless, and the other being also
effected. His ailments no doubt caus-
ed him to be respondent to the point
of ending his life. He was 80 years
old.
The coroner was called but evil
dence of self destruction was so APP
parent to him that he deemed an in
quest not necessary.
1t is very sad indeed for the fam
lily circle, and the surviving members
two brothers, Fred and William, and
sister Bell, surely have the sympathy
of the mmunity.-Calmar Courier.

sun CURE FOR TUBERCULOSIS.
In the Treatment Patient Sits With
His Back to the Sun.

In the treatment of tuberculosis by
sunlight, the patient sits with his
back to the sun. The rejecting ap-
paratus is a concave metallic mirror.
This throws the light against the
back part of the roof of the mouth,
where it falls on metallic throat
mirror. This throws the light di-
rectly on the ulcers in the larynx.
A satisfactory arrangement is to
fasten a mirror holder on the back of
a chair. On this mirror holder are
two mirrors. One, a concave metallic
mirror, is used to throw sunlight into
the mouth. The other, glass mirror
permits the patient to see that the
sunlight goes to the right place. The
patient places a glass of warm water,
towel, and a metallic throat mirror
on a nearby table or chair. He
straddles a chair with his back to the
sun and facing the mirrors. He
opens his mouth widely, draws out
his tongue with a towel held in his
left hand, moistens the throat mir
ror, and places it in position against
the soft palate, holding it with his
right hand. He holds his head in
such position that the light is thrown
on the throat mirror, reflected to his
larynx, and the image Of the ulcer
ated larynx is seen on the glass in
front of him.
The patient is shown how to carry
this out and after that he takes his
own treatments.
In fact, Doctors Mills and Foster,
who report the successful use OF the
method, say that most Of the details
were worked out by one of their tu-
berculosis patients who is not medi-
cal man. This patient devised me-
tallic mirrors composed Of an alloy
of aluminium and magnesium. These
mirrors reflect light well, and in
stead of converting ultra violet and
violet rays into heat rays have some
power of changing heat rays to vio-
let rays.
The use Of sun rays as cure for
tuberculosis is well established. The
name for it is heliotherapy. The
Limitation of the method Is the in
ability of suns rays to penetrate.
The treatment of tuberculosis of the
throat, the larynx, and vocal cords
has been very unsatisfactory. The
use of heliothrapy in laryngeal tu-
berculosis has been somewhat gener-
al for fifteen years, but the light
seemed to heat the throat too much.
The use of metal mirrors overcomes
this objection.
The light is applied for only 80
seconds a day at first. Later expos
ures of ten to twenty minutes twice
a day are made. The pain in the
throat is lessened, the irritation de-
creases, and the ulcers heal. 1t is not
possible to use the treatment to adj
vantage except under physician''

"There Ought TO be q Law"

There ought to be law to pre-
vent it," 1--WE need a law" "Why
doesn't the legislatures pass a law?''
why doesn't the council pass an
ordinance" to prevent this or &C.
complish that? asks the Marshall
town Times Republican.
Why man alive they do. They
pass tiuX of laws and ordinances
beyond the ability of most men to
count and keep track of and beyond
the ability of any person to thorough
~ understand. Pass laws? Why
that's our main holt. When we
haven't anything else to do we hustle
around and pass another law. And
then we simply ignore it individual
ly and wonder why the authori-
ties" don't make other peopIe
"obey the law"
Not that the authorities are
blameless. They take the same atti-
tude. If they are city authorities"
they want the county attorney to se~
to enforcement. The county auth0rt-
ties want to look to the state statu-
ties and authorities" the estate
authorities insist that the federal
officer ought to do it. Turn it over
to George. George isn't looking for
votes for another term.
AS parents we look to the teach
ers. They are pre-assumed to look
after the education and the manners
and morals of the children in their
charge. When things go wrong blame
them. Start a kid to kindergarten
and let Georgiana do the rest. If
the girls run down town night after
night to the picture shows blame

but don't take any of the blame and

Stick to the Old panacea. Legislate.
Legislate.
Surely, demand stricter traffic re-
gulations and then go out of a Sat
urday evening to Joy ride around
the business blocks and cut corners
at twenty miles an hour. The law
was made for the other fellow. Take
a chance. Your 10 year old boy is
altogether different from that child
driving the other PERSONS car. Why,
your boy is a good driver. You'd as
soon trust his driving as your own.
But that Soandso kid and the whole
blamed family ought to be arrested
and given the limit. Isn't there a
law against children driving under
a certain age? Then why don't they
enforce it,"
Nations war with other. Pass a
law. Men grab for higher profits.
Pass a law. The demands of labor
become greater year by year" Pass
a law. Wages are too low" Pass a
law. Corn and wheat are off in price.
Pass a law. We, ought to raise more
than sixty bushels of corn to the
acre. Pass a law.
AS an experiment how would it do
to accept some individual response

individualism. Isn't it somewhat in
consistent to insist ON individual
license while demanding statutory
and governmental control Of every
body else?
