FORMER PASTOR
TO COME HERE
The Rev. Hugh A. Heath, In Charge
Of First Baptist Church For
Number of Years, to Be
at Convention.

Returning to the city where for
three years he was pastor of the
First Baptist church, DR.. Hugh A.
Heath, executive secretary of confer
ences and conventions of the general
board of promotion of the Northern
Baptist convention, will be among
the speakers present at the Iowa
Baptist state convention, which will
convene in Keokuk from October rs
to October %.
DR.. Heath preached IN Keokuk
from 1898 to 1901 Since that time
he has become one of the national
leaders of the denomination. Follow
ing his service here, he was for sew
eral years one of the best known
clergymen of New England. In 1913
he became the general secretary of
the Massachusetts Baptist Mission
airy society, and in 1919 he was ap-
pointed to his present task by the
general board of promotion.
AS executive secretary of confer
ences and conventions, DR.. Heath
travels many miles each year to be
present at state conventions in the
thirty-five states where the northern
Baptists have activities, as well as
in the District of Columbia. He is
probably in closer touch with the
Baptists of each state than any other
man in the denomination. Besides
presiding at several of the most i'm
portant sessions Of the Iowa conyen-
ton, DR.. Heath will twice address
the assembly, speaking on the gem
eral subject of the relation of Iowa
Baptists to the general board Of pro-
motion of the northern Baptist con-
vention.

WHEN A WoHAH IS Nervous WORRIED

The lives of most women are
full Of worry. Mems troubles are
bad enough, but women's are
worse. Worry makes women sick.
It pulls them down, and in their
weakened condition they are SUBJ
ject to pains, aches, weakness, back
aches, headaches and dizzy spells.
Most women neglect their health,
and for this they pay the penalty.
ANY woman will find that neglect
does not pay. A little more atten-
ton to health would brighten up
her life. If she asks her neighbors
she finds that DR.. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription benefits a woman's
whole system. 1t not only acts
upon the troubles and weaknesses
peculiar to women, but is an all
round tonic that braces the entire
body, overcoming nervousness,
sleeplessness, headaches, dizziness
and a rundown condition.
DIXON, NEBR.-N For the young girl
developing into womanhood there is
nothing better than Doctor Pierce's
Favorite Prescription as a tonic and
builder. At that time OF my life I was
sadly in need of something to strengthen
and build me up and / found just the
tonic I needed in the Prescription.

Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets after a
meal. Sour risings, gassiness, a
heavy bloated feeling and such dis
tress due to indigestion or dyspepsia
are usually only temporary. And yet
they may lead to serious disorder.
The regular use of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets after meals reflects to a high
degree the intelligent selection of
preventive measures.
One cannot always select or In
spect the quality of food to be eaten
nor it's method or manner Of prepa-
ration. But it is. possible to avoid
the acidity that is SO often the re-
suit. And it is far better plan 10
eat without worry over what may
happen than to starye for fear 1t
will happen. Many physicians rec.
ommend these tablets for stomach
distress due to indigestion or dys'
pepsia.
They ale sold by all druggists
everywhere at 60 cents a tox.

EDUCATION AND

Some interesting figures have
been collected by the University
of Wisconsin, showing the relation
ship between education and farm
improvement.
Eight hundred and twenty-five
farms in Wisconsin were made the
sources of the information, the idea
being to determine how education
affected the Improvement Of the

fences we're selected, the bath room,

Great Writers and Their Dogs.

In the Cornhill Magazine Percy
Stevenson writes of the affection of
Sir Walter Scott for his dogs. An
author surely is known not merely by
the books he writes but by the COM
pany he keeps among the brute crea-
ton" Sir Walters affection for dogs,
the writer tells us, amounted almost
to a passion" Byron loved dogs be-
cause they We're unlike men, Mr.. Ste
venson declares, but Scott cared for
them for their own sweet selves. Is it
too much to assert that in return for
his devotion to them the dogs of whom
Scott wrote will help to assure the
immortality of his writings? DR., John
Brown will be remembered not for his
three volumes of sketches, 'Horae
Subsecivae," but for the tender and
unforgettable "Rab and His Friends"

SEEK WEALTH UNDER OCEAN
Miners Think Little Of Burrowing Be-
meath the Waves in Their Pur-
suit for Treasure.

Man is a burrowing animal. In the
pursuit of wealth he will even burrow
under the sea- The most valuable
iron mines in Nova Scotia are under
the ocean. There are outcroppings of
the ore beds on shore, but the miners
follow them far out as they dip down
under the sea floor.
1t might be asked, how do they pre-
vent the sea floor from caving in upon
them? No trouble at all about that.
Enough of the iron-bearing material is
left untouched to serve as pillars, up
holding the roof.
Elsewhere on the coast of Nova
Scotia coal is mined in the same way,
under the sea. 1t is an excellent quail
ity of bituminous coal. On the coast
of Cornwall, in England, mining is
done for tin under the ocean, the lodes
being followed out from shore. The
bottom is of solid granite and the
workmen can actually hear the boul,
ders rolling about over their heads as
the storm waves drive them about.
In one case vein extraordinarily
rich in tin was found at extreme low
water in patch of rock. A bulkhead
was built around the rock and a shaft
sunk, large quantities of precious ore
being taken out before storm wiped
| out the work.

the four conveniences, about 26
percent of the high school class, Is
percent of the short course and
over 40 percent of those farm
homes where there had been the
advantage of college education.
Two things about the investiga-
ton are particularly interesting.
In the first place it was found that
the percentage of automobiles
owned rose steadily from 20 per-
cent in the common school class of
farms to about % percent IN the
college class, whereas the average
of the other three convenlences
rose rapidly from 20 percent in the
first class to over As percent in the
college class of farms, thus showing
that as education increases real
household comforts such as light
ing systems, bath rooms and fur
naces are considered even more de-
sirable than the almost necessary
automobile.
The second interesting result was
that lighting systems and bath
rooms just about kept pace with
each other in all four classes. This
] is due to the fact that the installa-
ton of modern electric light anc
power plant makes possible the

Certain facts connected with flies
are either misunderstood Oh over

by an Illinois farm bureau should
be widely circulated. Read and re-
member these:
One house fly with its filthy feet
can kill an entire family.
The fly is more disgraceful and
dangerous than bedbug.
The house-fly is the filthiest crea-
ture in existence, yet mans con-
slant companion.
The house-fly breeds in almost
any kind of decaying vegetable
matter, but prefers horse manure.
The house-fly is dangerous, not
because Of it's breeding place, but
because of its habits Of feeding.
The house-fly is rightly called the
typhoid fly, because it is one Of the
chief carriers of this disease.
Open, outdoor closets should not
be tolerated. Screen them as you
would your kitchen. The one is as
important as the other.
The fly is the connecting link be
tween filth and food. Flies breed il

BIRD d, club

There is no easier way to make
friends with birds than to furnish
them with plenty of clean, pure
water. Ordinarily birds suffer more
for water than for food.
Some bird lovers sink a pan to
hold water in a sheltered place in

erous this does not bring the best
results for most birds are very eau
tious and are afraid to come to the
ground.

six feet high above the ground and
