LIES FIVE
NECESSITIES

NNHERE is not a living creature
in the universe that can
continue the processes Of life IL
denied these five fundamentals:
Natural air.
Natural water.
Natural sleep.
Natural exercise,
Natural food
Observe that the requirement
is natural air. water. sleep, exer-
else ~and food. Mankind. Is en-
deavoring to sustain his life pro-
cesses with most Of his food made
denatured or unnatural, @r
changed in its nature. The uni
versal result is universal disease
or altered function.
Few people recognize obesity,
or overweight as diseased condi-
ton, but it is Just as definitely
a manifestation of disease or
altered function as is palsy, or
diabetes. or scarlet fever.
Few people recognize constipa-
ton as manifestation or evil
dence or proof of disease. vet it
is as much so as typhoid fever,
or smallpox of tuberculosis.
Few people consider defective
teeth manifestation of disco sc.
Most people look upon tootlEache
as something to be dreaded and
relieved because it is painful,
without understanding that 1t is
the most positive and definite
demonstration Of changed or al
tered function. which is disease.
Teeth decay, constipation exists,
overweight shortens life, as the
direct result Of the use Of dena-
u ed or unnatural food. and most.
ofsthe Named ailments Of mankind
arise and exist from the same
cause. Stopping the use of de-
natured or unnatural food stops
the cause Of these conditions, and
the body tends to return to nor
NAL functioning, which Is health.

GARRETT P. SERVISS DESCRIBES
POLARITY OF SUNSPOTS
Explains Discoveries Made by Scientists Recent
" at Mount Wilson Observatory.

In a cycle of about eleven years;
also that the first spots Of new
cycle appear in high ATTITUDES,
and year after year draw down
toward the equator, the last spots
being near the equator. More
over, a few last spots of the pre-
ceding cycle are usually seen near
the equator after the first spots
OF a new cycle have begun to APP
pear in high ATTITUDES.
Now, the singular fact has been
developed at Mount Wilson that
reversal of magnetic conditions
in sunspots takes place in the
northern and southern hemispheres
of the sun with each successive
spot cycle.
Thus, during the cycle begin
ming in 1901, the leading spots
in northern groups had south
magnetic polarity and the follow
ing spots north polarity, while in
the southern hemisphere the spots
of the same cycle had just the
opposite arrangement of polar
tiles.
But during the next cycle, be-
ginning in 1912, the northern
groups had their leading spots
of north polarity and the follow
ing ones of south polarity Gust
the reverse of the preceding
arrangement, while the southern
groups now assumed the arrange
ment Of polarities that in the
preceding cycle had characterized
the northern ones.
And this surprising law of re-
versal in magnetism. and pre-
sumably in direction of whirl,
verified itself again at the begin
ming Of the present cycle, in 1923.
1t is very curious to see the left
over spots of disappearing
cycle retaining their proper
polarity, while the new spots CO.
incidently visible with them show
the prevalence of the new order.
"All the evidence" says Doctor
Hale, seems to favor the view
that sunspots are deep-seated
manifestations Of the internal cir
culation Of the sun. In these
mysterious depths we should.
therefore, seek for the origin OF
sunspots, the nature of their
characteristic cycle and the cause
of the periodic reversal of their
magnetic polarity"

FROM A PHoToGRAPH
precisely the same law as that
controlling rotating storms on our
little planet. But this idea was
abandoned when later studies
showed that sunspots whirling in
both directions coeXist in the
same hemisphere.
This complicated the prob
lem" says Doctor George E.. Hale
in his book on 1.-THE Depths of the
Universe" cbut decisive dis
covery then prepared the way for
an effective attack"
1t was found that when spots
appear in pairs, as they are apt
to do, or In clusters or groups,
strung out along the parallels of
pair, or the head of the group,
exhibits an opposite magnetic
polarity to that characterizing the
spot, or spots, at the rear end OF
the procession.
Besides, it was found that the
direction Of turning, at least in
the vast hydrogen worthless high
above a spot, varies with the
polarity, so that even when no
visual evidence OF such motion
Is present it may be inferred that
the leading spots whirl in one
direction and the following ones
in the opposite direction.
The next step is even more re-
markable. We must recall that
sunspots gradually increase and
then decrease in number and size

ROBBERY AT NIGHT
Bob StOffel Loses Watch, Money and
Expensive Pair of Boots.

Robt. Stoffel, residing on the Liberty
road about three miles northwest of
Lancaster, is the loser of $35 watch,
SAL in cash, an expensive pair of leath
er boots and pair of overalls as the
result of a visit to his home some time
last Thursday night.
About $3.50 in the evening two col
ored men called at the house and re-
quested a place to sleep. Mr.. Stoffel
was unabel to accommodate them. When
he arose in the morning he found the
house had been entered and the ar
ticles named taken from behind cur
tain in the dining room. The remains
of lunch were on the running board
of car outside.
One of the men was light-complected
and the other wore leather Jacket.
This is the extent of Mr.. Stoffel's de-
scription of his visitors. Suspicion
points to the colored men as it said
two men answering the description of
the two men checked out on the road
job north of Stoffel's the night before.
The matter is in the sheriff's hands
for solution. Bob will gladly let the
men have the overalls if they will
bring the other articles. The reason
for relatively large sum of money
being in the house over night was due
to the sale of COW the day previous.

NOT MUCH DAMAGE
Local POmOlOgist Optimistic Over
Fruit Crop Prospects.

interviewed Sunday, R. A. Irwin, To-
cal pomologist and operator of the
largest fruit orchard in this section,
said he did not think fruit had been
materially damaged by cold weather
to date.
Cherries, Mr.. Irwin said, are more
susceptible to cold than apples. 1t
takes about % degrees to damage APP
Piles in their present state, the per-
centage of hazard increasing as the
blooms advance in age. A little later
80 degrees will injure the fruit and
still later frost, or 80 degrees, will
cause irretrieveable damage. To date
Mr.. Irwin has rot noted serious dam
age.
Mr.. Irwin has about So varieties of
apples in bearing. His acreage in
cludes cherries, plums and strawber-
ries but he has never been able to
develop variety OF peach that will
stand the rigor of our winters. Efforts
to develop a cross between a peach
and a plum are being made now.

FIND BIG
CACHE OF
NOONSHINE
Officers Raid Island Still
and Arrest Two Men,
Evidence Here.

A raid of the character of those
made in the Cumberland mountains of
Tennessee was staged by sheriff S
men Saturday with the result that two
men were arrested and an enormous
quantity of mash, moonshine and ap-
paratus seized.
The place raided was a cabin on an
island in the Mississippi, off White
City of notorious reputation, and
within rifle shot of tthe city of Du-
buque.
John Stumpf, 81, and Frank Hent-
richs, 80, were found on the premises
and brought to Lancaster. They are
held under $1,000 bonds.
The loot included three stills of 80
gallon capacity and one still of 100
gallon capacity All three stills were
we'll made of copper with suitable
cooling coils, showing that business
was being done with dispatch. The
bottoms of the stills were filled with
verdigris, evidencing part of what the
patrons were drinking. There were
$500 gallons of mash destroyed and
so gallons of moonshine destroyed and
seized. An array of gallon jugs full
of the stuff now reposes in the sher-
ifs basement.
Officers Bayley, Kicks and Oleson
made the raid and arrests.

ABOVE MUSCODA
Surveyors for Power Co.
Are Now Running Lines.
Two Years to Finish.

HIGHLAND CENTER-It begins to
look as if the dam across the Wiscon-
sin river in the town of Orion is an
assured fact, as Representatives Of the
company are now in the town of ORR
on and Buena Vista getting options
on the lands bordering on the river
and also tiowage rights in Iowa coun-
ty.
Surveyors are at work locating the
probable water line and options are
being bouhgt on that basis. Land
owners are given three years in which
to get the lands free of timber so it
it hardly possible that the dam will be
completed and ready for use inside of
that time.
Water Level Raised Is Feet
The north end of the dam will be
located upon lands purchased a few
years ago from Peter Brimmer and
will be just west of the Riverview
gardens. It is estimated that the
water will be raised some Is feet at
the dam and will extend upstream for
a distance of about Is miles. The
lake formed by the dam will be al
most mile wide at Riverview.
Inc Gam dC FRA. uu sac was oNeI
two years in building and it will take
that length of time to complete the
proposed impounding structure below
Riverview. No doubt that on the new
dam the power house will be located
upon the Iowa county side of the river
and the spillway on the Richland
county side Just when work will be-
gin there is no way of knowing, but
if present plans are carried out this
fall may see the beginning of the

OBTAIN WOLF BOUNTY
One Hunter EmulateS Isaac Putnam
No Bounty ON Maltese Cats.

County Clerk Webb has been filling
out certificates for wolf hunters des-
pite the lateneSs of the season, have
been coming in with trophies of the
chase to claim bounty. This is about
the last hunting until fall as the cubs
are now out of the holes and running
with the old ones, far adm near.
Bounty was paid recently to Dwight
Fitzgerald on an old wolf and her cubs
bagged out in No. Lancaster. John
B,iel on foxes and there were several
others Mr.. Webb does not recall.
Mr.. Fitzgerald rivaled old Isaac Put
nam of Revolutionary war fame who
went into the wolf den after all others
had refused, and killed the old wolf
Dwight went into ten, killed the old
wolf and bagged the cubs, being about
ten feet away from the old "She"
when he shot her. The wolf was all
ready to leap when Dwight ups with
the gun" and let the old lady have it,
fright in the mizzen.''
The state pays all bounties now as
follows: mature wolves, $50; cubs
from March to Nov. 1, So; wild cats,
SIS; lynx, SIS; fox, So.
Mr.. Webb has filed certificates with
the conservation commission on plenty
of wolves and foxes but has had no
claims but one on wild cats or lynx.
The one claim came from a BeetOwn
lad who brought in a couple of dead
Maltese cats of huge size which he
was ready to honestly swear were
wild cats. Regrettably, Mr.. Webb had
to deny the claim.
