Dear Jack:-My sister sent me the
Public Opinion for last week and
notice that you are still printing my
advertisement stating $4,000 reward
for return of jewelry. etc. For the
love of Mike chloroform anyone you
see putting that in again. Didn't
want that run for life and should
have had it discontinued before.
Believe me old top, is sure seemed
good to get the paper and find out
how things are locally. Have to hand
II to you for covering Decorah and
vicinity. I have sure had some time
since leaving DEBORAH as on arriving
In Chicago, on the way to New
Orleans, Immediately went to bed
with slood-poisoning in. my ankle
and 1t is six weeks the day you get
this, that I have been In bed, under
the care Of trained nurse.
Am sitting up today and improv-
ing the opportunity to write this.
Pretty wear yet and horribly thin
but coming back fast to my: usual
good health. Expect to. be home by
the first of March and although after
being away for any length OF time, I
am always glad to get back, there is
nothing in the world right now that
I am anxious to do as to get home
again. Not much of home to get to
right now, but wait about four
months and will show you regu-
lar place. We have plans all. made
and contracts let to put our house
back in the best of shape.
Notice in your paper the paving
plans are going forward alright.
Father and mother wish me to say
they are very much pleased at get
ting this done this year but are at 4
loss to understand why it is not con
tinued down our south street to Me-
chanic ST. as originally planned. We
are very sorry to have seen no men

fighting apparatus that was discuss
ed by the city council, directly after

TEXAS DRYER;
HAIR TONIC is
NOT POPULAR

Austin, Tex, Nov 23.-Violations of
the Texas prohibition law are less
frequent than when the statute was
first enacted, according TO W. A Keel
ing. assistant attorney general who
said that the sale Of intoZicants in
the form Of extracts and medicines
has decreased considerably He added
that this may be due TO the fact that
most Of those who drank patent
medicines. hair tcnics. etc, and sur
vived. now realize the deadly effects
Of these mixtures when taken intern
ally.
Shortly after the law went into ef-
feet there was also a large quantity
Of different kinds Of elders, wines and
cOrdiais with an illegal percent Of al
cohol put on the market and the state
pure food and drug commissioner
laboratory was deluged with samples
for analysis which were sent in by
county attorneys and inspectors OF the
attorney generals department. Ac-
tivity Of these officials has evidently
discouraged the manufacture and sale
Of these beverages, as little is heard
OF them now.
Wide publicity given to deaths aris-
ing from the drinking OF wood alcohol
also has had its effect, Mr.. Keeling
said. adding that bootleg" whisky
often is referred to as undertaken
cocktail" Some whisky and tequila
stll come in over the Mexican border,
report. but on the whole there
is less drinking Of intoxicants in the
state than ever before
