PETITION OF OMAHA RY.
HAS BEEN DENIED

The Minnesota Railroad and Ware
house commission has denied the pet
ition of the Omaha railroad to cur
tail the passenger service on the Her
on Lake-Pipestone branch. The rail
road company asked to be permitted
to remove two passenger trains which
operated on week days. The plea was
set forth that the trains were being
operated at a loss and that mixed
trains would suffice to serve the pub
lie instead of the ez elusive passenger
trains.

lXIHAT many people call indigestion
w very often means excess acid In
the stomach. The stomach nerves have
been over-stimulated, and food sours.
The corrective is an alkali, which quickly
neutralizes acids. And the best alkali
known to medical science is Phillips
Milk of Magnesia.
One spoonful of this harmless, taste
less alkali neutralizes instantly many
times as much harmful acid, and then
the symptoms disappear at once. You
will never use crude methods when once
you learn the efficiency Of this. Go get

DIPHTHERIA.

w read with horror descriptions of
the epidemics that have wiped out
countless lives during the history of
mankind and, while under the spell Of
such horror, we undoubtedly deem their
eradication most consummate bless
ing. And yet, though it is within the
power of the present generation to free
itself from recurrence of many cpl
denies, great many of us are content
to live under a veritable sword OF
Damocles rather than take the simple,
harmless steps necessary to protect our
children from diphtheria.
OF all the communicable diseases,
diphtheria is the most difficult to trace
to its source, for the reason that the
diphtheria bacteria are in many cases
carried in the threats of people who
are themselves immune. These un-
suspecting carriers" are, of course,
difficult to locate. Some contagious
diseases, can, to great extent, be
ersdicated by the Health Department,
but with diphtheria each citizen must
do his own protecting.
Medical Science has perfected two
serums, known as toxin-antitoxin and
toxoid, for diphtheria immunization.
The serum is given in series of three
inoculations covering period of two
weeks, and its administration is &C

Prussia Long "sprucia"
According to VizetelIy

"a word that has very interesting
history is spruce with Its double mean
ing ~ 'smartly OF finely dressed and
(2) the fir tree known as spruce fir"
writes Frank II. vizetelly in a New
York paper.
ION Its face, this word does not
bear any resemblance to Prussia, yet
on special occasion 1t was the custom
among our forebears to deck ones
self out in the dress of other coun.
tries. Men who adopted the particular
dress Of Prussia were arrayed in a
style to which the epithet spruce might
have been applied with perfect pro.
prieiy. They were appareled after the
style of Prussia, or, as it was com
monty known and spoken of in those
days, Spruce.
1.-THE reasoa that Prussia should
have been called Spruce instead OF
Pruce is to be attributed to the Eng.
fish fondness for initial S, which may
have been drawn, in this case, from
the German das Preussen.
THAT Spruce really meant Prussia
and was used instead of Pruce may be
found in Piers Plowman, where we
read Spruce for Prus, although Chau'
Ger used Pruce in his Canterbury
Tales Prussia was called Sprucia as
late as 1914"

OFFERS PRIZE FOR OLDEST
PIECE OF HOME FURNITURE

Have you a mohair-covered chair or
sofa in your home? II so, you may be
two hundred and fifty dollars the rich
err for it!
The News-Record is in receipt of
message from the Household Science
Institute, Chicago, asking for help in
locating the Oldest piece of mohair-
upholstered furniture in the United
States. The Institute feels that there
is a possibility of its being found in this
section. The style of the sought for
furniture or its use or non-use at the
present time are not important, pro-
viding it is in coed condition. The
owner of the piece selected will be
awarded two hundred and fifty dollars
and the piece itself will be exhibited
with other old-time furniture during
the Worlds fair at Chicago in 1888.
Back of the Institutes offer is the
desire on the part of Grace Wall Gray,
its director, to ascertain the longevity
of mohair Although innumerable pieces
of mohair- covered furniture and mo-
hair rugs have seen many years of hard
daily service, it is claimed that unless
deliberately injured no instance has
yet been found OF mohair fabric ever
wearing through.
Vashonites who feel that they have
something of interest should COM
municate with Mrs Grace Wall Gray,
Household Science Institute, S. Dear
born ST., Chicago, Illinois, giving the
history of the piece they have in mind
and all facts concerning age, color,
condition and other pertinent infor-
nation. Mrs. Gray will then decide
whether the article is the one wanted
and make arrangements for shipping
it to Chicago.
History does not tell just when it
was first discovered that mohair-the
long, silky fleece of the Angora goat
made exceedingly beautiful and dur
able fabrics. But this is known:

mohair fabrics are of great antiquity
and have always been looked upon as
rare and valuable. Prior to 1881,
when George B. and Louis B. Goodall
OF Sanford, Maine, perfected process
for weaving moha;r on power looms,
the manufacture of mohair velvet was
largely confined TO Germany and
France, where it was made by hand.
Especially famed Is mohair velvet or
velmo as it is called for short, as an
upholstery fabric, Years Of hard day
in-and-day- service leave the deep,
rich pile unmarried, its colors fresh
and undimmed Unless one willfully
cuts or burns it, 1t is as nearly in
destructible as any woven material
can be- This is due largely to the fact
that all the rub and wear comes on
the top ends or loops of these pile
fibres, whereas in smooth surfaced
materials the .s,b comes on the sides
Of the individual fibres. Also, because
the mohair fibres are smooth-surfaced,
the dust and dirt do not easily collect
en- them and usually light brushing
is all that is required to keep mohair
fresh and clean. Housewives fear of
moths has been ended by the recent
perfection of a mill mothproofing
process that makes mohair fabric i'm
mue to damage by these pests,
Aside from its use in furniture,
mohair velvet is the favored fabric
used in the upholstery of automobiles,
railroad cars, in the making of fine
rugs, robes, draperies, clothing and
many other articles.
