Two Doctors Hookem and Slicem,
Have Got Together for Pur-
pose of Diagnosing
Such Cases.

Acute golfitis is such a frequent
disease that two physicians, Drs.
Hookem and Slicem, have got to-
gether for the purpose OF diagnosing
such cases and offering the best pos
sible remedy. As result, The
Home Physician has been published,
being edited by Eugene W. Nixon,
Ineurologist, and contains the follow
ing anent the links game:
History: Golfitis originated
among the shepherds of Scotland
about 500 years ago. Since its very
origin the disease has always APP
peared in an acute form. No mild
cases have been reported by reliable
specialists, although some cases of
a milder form of mental disorder
have apparently been taken for it.
For several centuries, like govt, it
seems to have been confined largely
to the nobility and wealthy classes,
but lately the disease has begun to
make alarming inroads upon the So
called working classes.
"Etiology: The cause of golfitis
seems to have some connection with
an excess of leisure time, although
the disease is unquestionably brought
on in most cases by accidental con-
tact with persons already contamin-
ated. 1t has not been proven that
poor heredity predisposes to golftis.

tween the ages of eight and eighty
years, although cases have been re-
ported above and below these ages.
As regards proportion &C sexes af-
fected, the male predomina.es i'm the
ration of five to one. The only races
so far uncontaminated are the Es-
quimaux and the Bolsheviki.
Diagnosis: The disease is char

Immediately after exposure is a
great aid in diagnosis but a great
disadvantage in treating it.
"The onslaught is followed by
sleeplessness, irritability and enor-
nous increase of appetite. Later
little faults of memory appear; the

Indifferent to the higher sentiments.

Memorial for DECEASED Priests

A beautiful crucifxion group is be-
ing erected in Mount Olivet cemetery
at Waukon as a memorial to the de-
ceased priests of the county. Father
Campbell and Farther Norton are
the only two buried there now. The
group is being placed in the center
of an out door chapel. 1t consists
of the Virgin Mary and st. John in
six foot statuary, with Mary Mag
dalene in a kneeling position in front
of a large crucifx. The entire
monument is of orc bronze, a costly
construction which will retain its
beauty and finish permanently, and
will be a splendid adornment of the
beautiful burial ground. Waukon

Farmer Discovered the Cause
BY HAIRY J. GREEN.

A farmer living near Mason City
was bothered for several weeks with
couple of cows not giving as much
milk as usual. Every night it seem
ed as though one or the other would
be quite bit short on her usual
amount, so the farmer decided it
was time to investigate the matter.
After looking around for a few days
the difficulty was uncovered. He saw
one Of his pigs playing the milk
maid act, getting his meals a little
ahead of time, by milking the COW
itself instead of waiting for the
milk to be separated and poured
in to the trough.

THE SALMON TRAP CONTROVERSY

When all is said and done the salmon trap pro- position in Alaska is simply an economic question The opposition the salmon traps is chiefly due to the crcumstarce that they labor saving devices and make work for fewer fishermen than required by other methods of taking fish, It is conceded that generally spea king traps afford only the most economical method of taking salmon but the fnosf sanitary Salmon caught in traps remain alive in the traps until they removed and taken directly to the cannery On the other hand salmon caught by other processes die immediately after they are taken out the If avessel continues fishing for several days without taking it's to market the fish first caught several days old when they sold.
 And, at that the trap is not great labor might think It not only requires men to operate and watch it. but it takes pile drivers and piles and lumber to build it. It requires to operate pile drivers, to cut and tow piles, make lumber and to cut the timber from which the lumber is made. The traps greatest advantage is that il catches and holds fish alive until they needed it always work for the canneryman, it does go out on a strike in the middle of the season, il never gets stck or lazy, goes off a bum, and the :eanner always knows where it is when he wants it
 It is absurd to try to stop scientific and economical mahpds .pfs eprratng any industry business l. is not only absurd but it is not the right thing to do. ,Yet it is not new Thirty years ago printers organizing strikes against newspapers which installed linotypes other type-setting chimes. Thdw-Iankly opposed them because they die the york with fewer men The writer recalls being requested about thirty years by the foreman in newspaper office to discontinue the editorial sub scriptfon to the Louisville Courier-Journal because that paper. was unfair to labor when it installed linot5pe machines. But the printers learned not hghts against progress, and they became linotype operators by the thousands. Salmon traps may re duce the number of fishermen required supply the canneries but they make more work for people in other lines.

COMMENT ON CARDINAL GIBBONS.

Probably the death of no churchman in recon times has called forth much editorial or many personal tributes from in high station has followed the death Cardinal Gibbons Tho praise the, great Cardinal comes equally as elo- quent and strong from those who Protestant il their Christian faith from those who belonged his church
 Every leading American newspaper carried lon. first, page accounts of the death and life of the Cardinal and most of them carried highly euIogistc edit qrals Practically all them stressed as one O his strongest points his earnest Amereansm feryo patriotism
 Typical of the comment on Cardinal Gibbons death are the words of the Right. Rev. Dr. William T. Manning, Rector of Trinity Church in New York and Episcopal Bishop Elect of New York City, whe said:
 The death of Cardinal Gibbons is a severe
 loss to religion and 10 the country He was
 great Christian and great citizen. His
 name has long been held in honor among
 our people, and his death will be universally .lamented
 Of like purport the statement of the Right Rev Dr. Luther B Wilson, resident Bishop of the Methodist Episcopal Church at New York who said Cardinal Gibbons the great outstanding figures in the United States, and
 l know of none whose loss could be more
 keenly felt
 The New York Evening Post editoraIIy com mented upon Amerieanism and the great infuene- he had in promoting the highest character of mill tant' Amerlcanism. It, among other things, said:
 Two qualities marked in the Cardinal
 were of peculiar value his church his
 hnaduterated Americanism and his interest
 9n intellectual and political affairs. From
 the days Of Know Nottingham there has been
 tendency to regard the Church as a little
 alien An ecclesiastical organization obed-
 tent to the decrees of a foreign head and
 composed largely of foreign-born elements
 had special difficulties and responsibilities
 The Archbishop who delivered the centennial
 address upon the founding of CarroIls See
 declared that the Church must be emphat-
 ically and thoroughly American. l. can be
 than passiyely American-it can be d militant force in imbuing alien communi- cants with patriotism. Cardinal Gibbons labored to make the Chlrch a true factor in Americanism Early this year he sent from his sick bed article the Constitution, declaring that we would be to the

 In Cardinal Gibbonss death the country loses a great churchman and distinguished citizen
 Probably the tribute of the Cincinnati Enquire vas as nearly expressive Of the general verdict O he life and character of the departed Cardinal a anything that has been wrteen The Enquirer said
 When the Genius of History nscribes the record of Cardinal Gibbons's life on earth it will be distinguished by the practically unanimous approval of mankind. While the great Cardinal belonged to America-the land of his love and benevolent adoption above all others, he belonged to the world
 Great in intellect, great in devotion to the things in which he believed, great in the councils of his church, he great also in his Americansm
 It is for his answering devotion to the principles of democracy his unqualified sup port and championship of the institutions of the republic, that he long will be re- membered and loved by the people of the nation.
 Cardinal Gibbons was a strong figure in the contemporary life of the nation. Friend of Mckinley and Roosevelt and Wilson, and of practically every eminent leader in the field of politics, literature, and religion he held the respect and affections of the nation while in wise deViating from the standard of his convictions
 Broadly tolerant of highest moral cour- age, of tenderest nature, of nose generous impulses, it may be said of him that his life and service to God and country will stitute a luminous page in the annals of the nation which he did much to honor and distinguish.

President Harding now de- clares himself in favor of any "seemly program" likely to forward the greatest human ideals The declaration implies form of obligation, and the peoples who share these ideals with the American people will look forward with anxious hope not only 10 see what Mr Hardngs plan is be. but to learn by what action. the President of the United States Will redeem this promise 10 civilized mankind
