Use for EIre-kiIled Timber.

Prejudice exists in certain quarters
against the use of timber cut from
dead trees, and some purchase speci-
fications insist that only timber cut
from live trees will be acceptable. AS
a matter Of fact when sound dead trees
are sawed into lumber and the wealth
cred or charred outside Is cut away,
there is no method known to the Unit
ed States forest products laboratory
by which the lumber can be distin-
guished from that cut from live trees,
except that the lumber from dead trees
may be partly seasoned when sawed.
All the information available at the
laboratory indicates that timber cut
from insect or fire-killed trees is just
as good for any structural purpose as
that cut from live trees of similar
quality, providing the wood has not
been subsequently injured by decay
or further insect attack.

one-sided TO make it very interest
ing for the fans. The visitors play
ed in bad luck and were perhaps
capable of securing more runs, but
the Audubon battery was function
ing 1907 and this put the visitors
at a big disadvantage.
Another game will be played this
afternoon, when the state league
team of Madison, s. D., play at the
fair grounds. Our team will in all
probability be defeated, but they will
give the visitors the best that is in
them. The game this afternoon is
called for 2:30. 1t was originally
called for Las, but on account of the
funeral the game was postponed un-
til the later hour.

NINE MORE MEN
ARE NEEDED
IN ORGANIZATION OF
NATIONAL GUARD UNIT FOR
AUDUBON BEING MADE.

Lieut.. Col. Guy S. Brewer, of Des
Moines, was in the city Tuesday con-
sulting with Kit c. Lane, regarding
the progress of the National Guard
Unit which is being organized in this
city.
Mr.. Brewer found that only nine
more men were needed to fill the
unit, but these must be secured at
once. There is every reason to ex-
pect that the required number will
be secured within the next few days.
II there are those who have been
contemplating signing up, it will be
to their interest to do so at once.
When the unit is organized here
it will be known as the Battalion
Headquarters Co., of the 168th Inf.
1t will be a distinguished honor for
men to belong to an organization of
this kind.
A similar unit was organized at
Guthrie Center, which was mustered
in on Tuesday of this week. The
complete outfit necessary to carry on
the work of the company will be sent
there soon.
Guthrie Center is smaller town
than Audubon and there is no reason
why the company cannot be success
fully completed here. This is an OPP
portunity that comes to but few
towns in the state and we believe
dubon will take advantage of it.
We cannot urge the young men of
this community too strongly to get
in touch with Kit Lane az once to
make sure they will be Included in
the membership of this unit.

9 LOCAL AND PERSONAL .

Mrs. A. ]. Van Sise came from At
lantic yesterday afternoon for a
weekend visit with old friends. Mr..
Van Sise is here this week doing
some county work and this gave her
an opportunity of being here at the
same time.
C. H. Hollenbeck went to Carroll
yesterday to look after a position
that has been offered him. He has
been in poor health several weeks,
and was compelled to give up his
work as district manager for the
Standard Oil Co. He is feeling bet
ter now and will probably engage in
work that is not quite so strenuous.
Mr.. and Mrs. F. H. Adams left
yesterday morning for Excelsior
Springs, Mo-, where they will spend
a couple of weeks. Mr.. Adams took
his golf outfit with him, so that he
could enjoy his favorite pastime,
even il he was at a pleasure resort.
The Carter Hardware Company
has been having quite a unique dis
play in their window the past few
days. Two lighted lamps have been
revolving quite successfully, demon
strating that the lamp will remain
lighted regardless of the air. 1t has
been attracting considerable atten-
tion.
The first of June the Electrical
Supply Co. will surrender a part of
their store room to Ned Curtis,
whom we understand will open a
smoke house soon. Mr.. Biggs does
not deem it necessary to use as
much floor space for his business,
and will be able to get along with
about half of his former space.
Fred Morrison, of the Virginian
Cafe, has made quite a pleasing
change in the interior of the cafe.
The walls have been re-decorated,
and the entire place is undergoing a
thorough overhauling. Fred says
he wants, to give the people of Au-
dubon and vicinity the best of SER
vice and make his place look neat
and attractive.

PRIEST USED MAIL LOOT
Used Sums of Money to Keep the
Families of His Parish From
Starving While Out OF Work

A paddock swings today from the
front door of the Church of Assump-
tion in New Chicago, Ind.
New Chicago is seven miles from
Gary and had its beginning four
years ago, when the demands Of the
war swept thousands into the mael-
strom of the steel mills. In the last
year, however, man after man was
thrown out of work until the parish
of the Assumption learned the mean
ing of actual want. ST.,
Throughout the past year Father
Gorek preached hopeful sermons. He
went to the grocers and butchers and
pleaded for additional credit for his
flock. He strove by every means to
keep his parish together and his
parishioners faithful. Then came
the thing which appeared miracle.
Father Gorek appeared at back
doors, and in addition to advice and
spiritual pleadings, he handed out
actual cash for the wants of the
needy parishioners. He told the peo-
pie that their prayers had been
heard.
Then came the shock. The money
that Father Gorek had given was
part of the proceeds of a $1,000, 900
mail robbery in Toledo. o. Father
Gorek admitted to government Of
ficials that former woman parish
Toner had handed him for safe keep
ing package of bonds and that he
had sold $1,000 worth.
Investigation showed that he had
actually used the $1,000 to alleviate

ATHLETICS CURE DISEASE

Many people are not aware that
ordinary athletic exercises are OF
great value in remedying diseases OF
all kinds. Disease is nothing more
than a lack of physical harmony
With the increased vitality that
comes through exercise, the entire
physical organism is made stronger
and more vital in every way.
The truth of this statement was
proven in a most imposing manner
during our recent war, when many
of the training camps quickly elm
mated the physical defects of our
soldiers by these methods. Some of
our leading officials favored a plan
to start a training camp in which
men who were rejected because of
physical defects could be trained
and prepared for army service.
They saw that physical ills could be
cured by thorough course of phys
ical training together with healthful
diet and a wholesome environment.
If you are suffering with a COM
plant of any kind that puzzles the
doctors, try physical activity as a
cure. Long walks, for example,
have been known to cure almost ev-
cry known complaint. Each day in
the open air seems to add to ones
vitality and after a long walking
trip instead of being exhausted, one
has usually stored up enough vital
ity to make the body eliminate all
physical Impurities and make one
feel as though he were treading on
air.
If the true possibilities were but
known in connection with the cure
of disease through physical activi-
ties, much of the medical doctoring
would be relegated to the historical
past.
Exercises that actively use the
spine are also especially valuable.
They accelerate the activities. of all
the vital organs. The nerves that
radiate from the spine to the heart,
lungs, stomach, kidneys, etc., carry
far more energy to those important
organs when the spine is in perfect
condition. The spine bears the same
relation to the human body as does
the trunk of tree to the branches
above. If the trunk is strong, the
entire tree is vigorous.
And the same can be said of the
human spine. If the spine is strong
every part of the body is hardy and
VITAL A strong spine insures a prop
er supply of blood to all the import
ant parts of the body. And il you
don't possess a spine of this sort, il
is easily within your reach to ac-
quire one. There is no part of the
body that is more easily strength
ened than the spine. There are
many exercises for this purpose, and
they are all comparatively simple
Twist the body in various ways
bending backward and forward from
side to side is valuable.

CARE OF THE SICK
Article I.


Nearly every home is at some
time or other visited by illness. In
the following articles / will discuss
few methods which, while simple,
may be of some value in adding to
the mental and physical comfort of
the patient.
At no time are we a truer barom-
'eter to surrounding conditions than
when the strain of sickness is play
ing havoc with our nerves, and ii
should be borne in mind that the
care of the sick consists to a great
extent in rendering the mental and
physical surroundings of the patient
a favorable one.
The sick room should be quiet,
sunny, south or east exposure is to
be preferred. 1t should be we'll re-
moved from doors from the kitchen,
should have good ventilation, and
preferably, more than one window.
1t is essential for the patient to
have a room for himself, nor should
the family keep their possessions in
the sick-room. Precaution must be
taken to exclude from a sick-room
unnecessary noises, such as Tapping
curtains, squeaking doors and the
like, that irritate the nerves of sick
and we'll alike.
Whispering should not be allow
ed; anything undesirable for the pa
tient to hear should be discussed
well out of his hearing and in speak
ing to him there is no objection to
an ordinary well-modulated voice.
The room should be made attrac-
tive, but at the same time easily
cleaned. Plain paper or tinted walls
are best; soft colors, such as gray or
buff are good. Weak or nervous
people often become exhausted from
attempting to make out disturbing
design repeated on the wall.
Flowers give great pleasure to the
sick. They should be carefully tend
ed and when fading, should be re-
moved. Those having strong odor
should not be admitted. Flowers
should never be left in the sick room
over night.

the sufferings of the poor. Visits
to scores of homes brought forth
the same story-that the families
had kept body and soul together by
the use Of money supplied by Father
Gorek.
Investigation also showed that the
parishioners are making deter
mined effort to raise the $4,000
bail necessary to secure his freedom.
The priest was told at che Jail of the
efforts being made to free him.
IT do not deserve it." he said. "I
have failed them. There is no ex-
cuse for me. have committed a
great sin and it is fitting that suf-
fer for it."

DESTRUCTION

A rooster perched upon the fence,
Just hear him crow
His satisfaction is immense,
His self-possession is intense,
His lusty lungs give evidence
That this is so.
Another rooster sees him there
And hears him crow!
With Tapping wings he cleaves the
air,
The fence top is too small to share,
And so they fight and scratch and
tear
Till down they go.
So It's in life, when any man
Gets eminent
Some jealous rival tries to plan
Some way to down him IL he can
And IL he just upsets the plan
He feels content.
No poor shows at the Crescent.
Be at the Crescent tonight.
