mANIAK BETTER THAN PAINT

Mujak is rapidly coming into

property, its resistance to heat and
its imperviousness to water ana air.
Maniak is an almost pure btu

melts al 100 degrees Fahrenheit,
manjak needs more than 400 degrees
Fahrenheit to melt it. II is so to 30
per cent carbon, the rest being hy-
drogen and small quantity of sui
phur. II looks like coal, is odorless,
hard, brittle and easily separated in
its long, pencil-shaped gram. When
melted and applied in a liquid state
IL hardens to an almost unbreakable
rubberlike coating, II is used for
painting pipe lines, boilers, CHM

other ironware and machinery. Il
is especially eficaeious on the joints
Of the pipes used in drilling for Gil,

NEW SURGICAL TREATMENT.

In treating a broken collarbone,
DR.. A. Legrand of Paris places the
forearm and hand behind the back
and fixes them in a sling. After
four or five days he begins moving
the forearm to the front for three or
four minutes every day, always
keeping the elbows in the posterior
position. The site of the fracture is
massaged every day. After 70 days
the forearm is put in sling for an
other eight days.
This treatment is not painful and
has the great advantage Of keeping
the head of the humerus just where
it ought to be.

MURRAY WALN INJURED

Last Friday. Murray VAIN was
grading the street in front of the
VAIN Bros. garage with drag
coupled behind FOrdson tractor.
The drag became stuck in the mud
and in backing up and getting a
quick start, the heavy chain which
coupled the drag to the Fordson was
broken and the loose end flying back
struck Mr.. VAIN a heavy blow on the
temple. causing an ugly wound.
He went up street with the blood
streaming down his face, to physi-
clan. who soon dressed the wound.
This was narrow escape for Mr..
VAIN. as it does not take heavy
blow on the temple to prove fatal.
Mr.. VAIN was soon back at work
apparently unmindful of his narrow
escape.

HOW IS THIS FOR LAND PRICES

Mrs. s. IS. Lingo informsTusi that
Iowa land,is on the boom. One year
ago Mr.. Harry Borland purchased
from Mrs. Lingo, 100 acres Of land
situated three miles from Clarinda,
Page county, Iowa, for $3.50 per
acre. and sold the same land two
weeks ago for $500 per acre. At the
time We editor left Clarinda some
fifteen years ago, land around the
town was selling for less than ii is
selling for here. This is sure great
raise in price in a few years. Mrs.

The overall fad is having reac-

the big cities. The average laboring
man is compelled to wear overalls
because of the nature of his work.
He must buy them, whatever the
price. With the advent of the new
fad the city dealer, true to form. is
boosting the price. The faddist will
pay the amount without objection,
will parade in them until the novelty
has worn of. and then return to his
former raiment. The laborer will be

to pay the additional price. He is
