Iowa State Bystander

THE BYSTANDER State Capitol Blog Hist "ANSWERING THE CALL." The summer days are over, The winter breezes blow, The lovely fields of clover Will soon be hid with snow. The harvest and the reapers Will soon be stored away In barns and comfort houses, The winter days to stay. The hunter with his bugle Will search o'er vale and hill The beautiful green foliage Must lose its chlorophyl. Days of damp and coldness Must come and leaves must fall; The fields and all the flowers Must answer nature's call. As seasons come and vanish, As nations rise and fall, Each man in every station Is answering a call. The soldiers boys are going To homes so far away, To tell what they've been doing In dear old Iowa. We know not where our station, We know not where we'll roam, Where'er our country calls us We'll make it home; sweet home. We're going to fight the Kaiser, No one behind we'll lag, Democracy must conquer, We're fighting for our flag. H. T. Toles, Co. 4, Clarke Univ. '18, So. Atlanta, Ga. ROCK ISLAND. ILL.

I had dizzy spells and headaches, and after I ate a little food it would ferment and cause gas to form in my stomach, and was so nervous and restless at night. My liver was torped, and I felt generally miserable. I had遗失ed and had been in the hospital, but retreated and was just fine. I was so nervous and restless at night. The gas pressing under my heart caused palatation, and when I arose in the morning the can eat any kind of food.

It will be remembered, when the training camp for colored officers was established in Des Moines that Dr. Geo. W. Cabaniss of Washington, D. C., gladly gave up his lucrative practice in Washington, D. C., to come here, free of charge, and assist Mr. R. B. De France in the welfare of the candidates in the Y. M. C. A. work. Much has been said of Dr. Cabaniss, but few of you know that his wife, Mrs. Cabaniss, has been working equally as hard. It is through her efforts that a florist in the city contributes a bunch of flowers every morning to the post hospital. She has also been giving all of her time to work at the training camp. It is the influences of such women as Mrs. Cabaniss that lifts the souls of these men from the common cloak to a purer air and a broader view. LASH-MASON WEDDING.

The club presented a table piled high with gifts.

"Providence has so ordered it that a state of rest and inaction, however it may flatter our indolence, should be productive of many inconveniences; that it should generate such disorders as may force us to have recourse to some labor as a thing absolutely requisite to make us pass our lives with tolerable satisfaction." — Edmund Durke.

One morning—it was along the Alsne early in the war—a sudden burst of sun from a bank of cloud found two British officers lying on a grassy ridge enjoying a respite from the usual soden weather and overcast skies. Together, says Mr. Frederic Coleman in "From Mons to Ypres," they gazed on the entrancing panorama. As they looked down the wooded hillsides into the lower land, that bordered upon the river, one of them suddenly called out: "Look! A hello!" From a hedge behind Moussy came the flash, flash, flash of a hellograph, in regular intervals. "Must be some fool sort of code," said the junior officer. "I never saw anything like it before." As they watched it the Germans saw it, too. Bang! went a big, black "Jack Johnson" not far from the spot. Smash! came another. Still the flashes twinkled from the surrounding green. The first two'shells were the forerunners of dozens that crashed through the hedge and into the turf all about the tiny center of light. And then the clouds shut out the sunshine and the flashes ceased. The next morning a brief ten minutes of sun caused eyes on the ridge to wander valleyward again. Sure enough, two flashes, intermittent and apparently quite without coherence, came from the spot at the hedgeside. Soon the enemy howitzers played on the vicinity more fiercely than before, and after the sun had gone from sight they kept up their bombardment of the unfortunate spot for half an hour. Dozens of shells fell thereabouts, then scores on scores. That afternoon a cavalry officer had a journey to make, which took him to General Monro's headquarters, near Moussy. When his work was done he continued a few hundred yards and sought the spot that had suffered the awful shelling. It was not hard to find. The hedge was smashed and great, black holes gaped in the green fields round it. No sign could be seen of the hello party; but that was not surprising, since for more than half an hour shells had fallen all about the flickering light, until it seemed that no man could live in its vicinity. The staff officer strolled over to a battery position not far distant and asked for news of the signalers. The gunners had wondered at the heavy shelling, but had seen no human beings near the hedge before or after the bombardment. Nonplused, the officer walked back to the devastated area, and, just as he was leaving, discovered the cause of all the trouble. There, caught on a twig of the hedge, swinging lazily in the wind, was a bright-bottomed, empty sardine tin, thrown carelessly aside by some satiated luncher. The sun, catching the bright bit of moving tin, had made of it a tiny reflector. Surely, never had so insignificant an object caused the Germans so great an expenditure of costly ammunition. Most writers recognized as possessed of genius or of great talent have been voluminous producers. In most cases their talent or genius, as a rule, after being stimulated by success, has literally taken possession of them and forced them to work hard and persistently. Balzac used to have rages of industry lasting for many hours and leaving him exhausted. Scott's prodigious industry was due mainly to his determination to pay off a heavy indebtedness. Dickens was marvelously industrious. But Thackeray was lazy and used to suffer greatly from the thought of work undone. His rages of work were not voluntary, like Balzac's, but inspired by desperateness. But he could take a theme for a novel and stick to it till he had produced a monumental work. If he had loved his work more, however, he might have made the world even richer than he did by his unique gift and he might have discovered in himself unsuspected veins of genius.—Exchange. Representative Mason of Illinois said in Chicago the other day: "One way to keep down prices is for every family to set up its own vegetable garden, but the trouble is that most of us are as ignorant of gardening as the chap who wrote to the seedsman: "As I wish to do my bit for the allies by growing my own provisions on a strip of rocky ground back of my house, please send me, f. o. b. one dozen potato seeds, one bee with hive complete, one dozen fruit seeds assorted, ten square yards of grass, one path, six feet of wall flowers, with wall, and one dozen flour plants. I am especially particular about the grass, which should be green, and not the brown kind I see in so many gardens." Fruit, Eating as a Water Supply. Most fruits contain from 75 to 95 per cent water, and a balance of woody fiber or cellulose, fruit sugar and minerals. Thus the free use of fruit daily insures a greater supply of water to the body, says the Popular Science Monthly. The cellulose of the fruit supplies bulk and a mechanical stimulation which promotes waste elimination. Acid fruits, such as oranges, lemons, limes and most berries, contain a certain chemical compound called "vitamines." In a very stable form.

The Russian royal jewels, including the gems that incrusted the imperial Romanoff crown, are safe from the democratic hands of the new rulers in Petrograd. With a woman's intuitive knowledge of trouble ahead, the former czarina had them tucked away in a safe deposit vault in her ancestral city of Darmstadt, Germany, right at the beginning of the war. And there they will remain until Mr. and Mrs. Romanoff claim them again, says the New York Tribune. The story of the Russian royal jewels is told in the Chronicle by a writer who says that the former czarina was largely responsible for the war, in that she assured her German friends and relatives that Russia would not be a formidable antagonist. She proceeded to prove this antebellum prediction by pro-German intrigue which ended with the revolution and the overthrow of the Romanoff dynasty. But the former czarina, who, before her marriage was Princess Alexandra Alice of Hesse, had no illusions about Germany. Accordingly, she packed up the family jewels in the summer of 1914, when she saw the international war clouds appear, and sent them in charge of trusted messengers to her brother, the grand duke of Hesse, for safe keeping till peace was restored. The royal emissaries traveled by the way of Finland and Sweden. They reached their destination before the mobilization of the Russian army was complete. The tale of the czarina's German forehandedness in the matter of saving the family gems is said to have been revealed by members of the Russian commission, who visited New York city recently. A New York society woman had her eye peeled for bargains in royal jewelry and approached members of the commission on the subject of purchasing a string of rare pearls which she had seen the former czarina wear at a fashionable European resort some years ago. She was told that she would have to talk to Mrs. Romanoff or her brother, the grand duke of Hesse. Ivan Narodny, Russian business man and writer of New York, corroborated the article in the Chronicle. Mr. Narodny said it was impossible to place an exact value on the royal jewels, but estimated that they ought to bring close to $100,000,000 in the market. He said they were of far greater intrinsic value than the historic jewels deposited in the Kremmlin, which are safe. The disappearance of the royal jewels became known about a month after the revolution, when the provisional government's appraisers were taking an inventory of the Hermitage, one of the structures of the winter palace, where the treasures were supposed to be kept, according to Mr. Narodny. "When the vanuits of the Hermitage were opened the jewel boxes were gone," said Mr. Narodny. "The imperial crown reposed on its silk cushion in one chamber of the vault, but all of its stones were found to be of paste." Woman Captures Eagle Mrs. Winthrop Howland of the El Chivar Goat ranch in Live Oak Canyon came out victor in a battle with a golden eagle and the big bird is now a captive at the ranch, says a Redlands (Cal.) dispatch. Mrs. Howland noticed the bird alight in a peach tree. It appeared to be exhausted, so she grabbed one leg and then the battle started. Mrs. Howland saw that she was in for a fight, and not daring to let loose of the bird, made a dive for its neck, and was lucky enough to get hold of it. She was thus able to keep the bird from biting her, but it beat at her with its wings. She managed to get it into a pigeon corral and then found that she was almost exhausted by the fight. The eagle is a large one, and measures about six feet from tip to tip. When Mrs. Howland made an examination she found that she had been wounded, but not seriously. It was nearly noon when the bride traveling man found the night clerk of the little hotel in a North Carolina town. "I told you to call me for the two o'clock train. Now I have to lose twenty-four hours' time. Why didn't you call me? "I couldn't very well," explained the clerk cheerfully. "I just got up myself."—Everybody's Magazine.

It will be remembered, when the training camp for colored officers was established in Des Moines that Dr. Geo. W. Cabanis of Washington, D. C., gladly gave up his lucrative practice in Washington, D. C., to come here, free of charge, and assist Mr. R. B. De France in the welfare of the candidates in the Y. M. C. A. work. Much has been said of Dr. Cabanis, but few of you know that his wife, Mrs. Cabanis, has been working equally as hard. It is through her efforts that a florist in the city contributes a bunch of flowers every morning to the post hospital. She has also been giving all of her time to work at the training camp. It is the influences of such women as Mrs. Cabanis that lifts the souls of these men from the common clod to a purer air and a broader view. LASH-MASON WEDDING. Mrs. Daisy Lash, who has been a resident of Monmouth, Ill., for nine years, was united in marriage. August 22 to Mr. E. O. Mason in Dewnport, Iowa. The affair was a secret until last week. The happy couple were married by Rev. T. L. Scott, who is grand master of U. B. F. and S. M. T.'s, of which organization Mrs. Mason is a member. She has also held many high positions in club and secret societies. Mr. Mason is a stirring business man from start to finish and is very busy with his illustrated lectures and stereopticon views of the foremost Afro-American men and women. For the present they will be at home at 402 Eleventh avenue, Monmouth, Ill.

Taylor are delighted to see him attending to his profession in his Overland automobile. Mr. Wm. Anderson, cement contractor, is looking after his growing business in his new car. Mr. Milton Howard, who has been sick for several weeks, is improving. The Lend A Hand Circle of Bethel A. M. E. church has set October 23 to 26 as their dates for their annual "Harvest Festival." The various committees are at work and prospects are encouraging. Mrs. Ella Fuqua is improving slowly from her recent operation. Mr. John Lemme, who resided here several years ago, returned last Saturday on a lecture tour. He is walking from Omaha to New York and lecturing in all the small towns. The Carnation club of Bethel A. M. E. church gave a very pleasant surprise party in honor of Rev. C. R. Waters and family as a token of welcome and appreciation of their return from St. Paul conference. Taking advantage of the absence of pastor and wife from the parsonage, the club, with the generous assistance of Mrs. Waters daughter, Mrs. Ora May Jackson, transformed the parsonage into a house of mirth and joy. The club presented a table piled high with gifts. Still another surprise was unfurled when the doors of the dining room were opened, displaying a very dainty and appetizing lunch, which was enjoyed by all. Misses Sylvia Mason and Sadie Lloyd of Muscatine were hostesses last Sunday to a few young people. Mr. A. G. Clark of Oskaloosa is in the city, he being chosen as one of the jurors for this term of court. Mr. and Mrs. Homer Rqwans of Evansville, Ind., are in the city with a view of remaining. They are stopping at Mrs. Lota Green's rooming house. Mrs. M. D. Hunter has been sick with la gripe for he past two weeks, but is convalescing. Mrs. Lota Green has returned from a visit with her friend, Mrs. Freda Range, of Ft. Madison, also with friends in Burlington. Mrs. Green anticipates a vacation of long duration and a much needed rest in the near future. Enforced Labor "Providence has so ordered it that a state of rest and inaction, however it may flatter our indolence, should be productive of many inconveniences; that it should generate such disorders as may force us to have recourse to some labor as a thing absolutely requisite to make us pass our lives with tolerable satisfaction." — Edmund Durke. Says Big Eaters Get Kidney Trouble Says Big Eaters Get Kidney Trouble Take a Glass of Cold Water and Kidnake to Flash Kidneys If Back Hurts. Omit All Meat From Die! If You Feel Rheumatic or Bladder Bothers. The American men and women must guard constantly against kidney trouble, because we blood is filled with uric acid, which the kidneys strive to filter out, they weaken from overwork, become suggest, the eliminative tissues clog and the result is kidney trouble, weakness and a general decline in health. When your kidneys feel like lumps of lead, your back hurts or the urine is cloudy, full of blood, for three times during the night; you pour with sick headache or dizzy, nervous spas, and stomach or have the matism when the weather is bish, got from your drumming about, or when you drink a glass or water before each meal for a few days and your kidneys will then net it. This famous remedy is made from perfectly harmed kidneys, used for generations to flush and stimulate haged kidneys to neutralize the acids in the urine so it no longer is a source of irritation, thus ending bladder disorders, making it injure, making it no mistake, insist on kidneys, it belongs in every home, because nobody can make a mistake by having a good kidney flushing any THE BYSTANDER THIS "HELIO" WAS CHARMED Terrific Bombardment by Germans Failed to Put Supposed Signalling Party Out of Commission. One morning—it was along the Aisne early in the war—a sudden burst of sun from a bank of cloud found two British officers lying on a grassy ridge enjoying a respite from the usual sodden weather and overcast skies. Together, says Mr. Frederic Coleman in "From Mons to Ypres," they guzed on the entrancing panorama. As they looked down the wooded hillsides into the lower land that bordered upon the river, one of them suddenly called out: "Look! A hello!" From a hedge behind Moussy came the flash, flash, flash of a heliograph, in regular intervals. "Must be some fool sort of code," said the junior officer. "I never saw anything like it before." As they watched it the Germans saw it, too. Bang! went a big, black "Jack Johnson" not far from the spot. Smush! came another. Still the flashes twinkled from the surrounding green. The first two 'shells were the foreunners of dozens that crashed through the hedge and into the turf all about the tiny center of light. And then the clouds shut out the sunshine and the flashes ceased. The next morning a brief ten minutes of sun caused eyes on the ridge to wander valleyward again. Sure enough, two flashes, intermittent and apparently quite without coherence, came from the spot at the hedgeside. Soon the enemy howitzers played on the vicinity more fiercely than before, and after the sun had gone from sight they kept up their bombardment of the unfortunate spot for half an hour. Dozens of shells fell thereabouts, then scores on scores. That afternoon a cavalry officer had a journey to make, which took him to General Monro's headquarters, near Moussy. When his work was done he continued a few hundred yards and sought the spot that had suffered the awful shelling. It was not hard to find. The hedge was smashed and great, black holes gaped in the green fields round it. No sign could be seen of the hello party; but that was not surprising, since for more than half an hour shells had fallen all about the flickering light, until it seemed that no man could live in its vicinity. The staff officer strolled over to a battery position not far distant and asked for news of the signalers. The gunners had wondered at the heavy shelling, but had seen no human beings near the hedge before or after the bombardment. Nonplused, the officer walked back to the devastated area, and, just as he was leaving, discovered the cause of all the trouble. There, caught on a twig of the hedge, swinging lazily in the wind, was a bright-bottomed, empty sardine tin, thrown carelessly aside by some satiated luncher. The sun, catching the bright bit of moving tin, had made of it a tiny reflector. Surely, never had so insignificant an object caused the Germans so great an expenditure of costly ammunition. Most writers recognized as possessed of genius or of great talent have been voluminous producers. In most cases their talent or genius, as a rule, after being stimulated by success, has literally taken possession of them and forced them to work hard and persistently. Balzac used to have rages of industry lasting for many hours and leaving him exhausted. Scott's prodigious industry was due mainly to his determination to pay off a heavy indebtedness. Dickens was marvelously industrious. But Thackeray was lazy and used to suffer greatly from the thought of work undone. His rages of work were not voluntary, like Balzac's, but inspired by desperateness. But he could take a theme for a novel and stick to it till he had produced a monumental work. If he had loved his work more, however, he might have made the world even richer than he did by his unique gift and he might have discovered in himself unsuspected veins of genius.—Exchange. Representative Mason of Illinois said in Chicago the other day: "One way to keep down prices is for every family to set up its own vegetable garden, but the trouble is that most of us are as ignorant of gardening as the chap who wrote to the seedsman: "As I wish to do my bit for the allies by growing my own provisions on a strip of rocky ground back of my house, please send me, f. o. b. one dozen potato seeds, one bee with live complete, one dozen fruit seeds assorted, ten square yards of grass, one path, six feet of wall flowers, with wall, and one dozen four plants. I am especially particular about the grass, which should be green, and not the brown kind I see in so many gardens." Fruit-Eating as a Water Supply. Most fruits contain from 75 to 95 per cent water, and a balance of woody fiber or cellulose, fruit sugar and minerals. Thus the free use of fruit daily insures a greater supply of water to the body, says the Popular Science Monthly. The cellulose of the fruit supplies bulk and a mechanical stimulation which promotes waste elimination. Acid fruits, such as oranges, lemons, limes and most berries, contain a certain chemical compound called "vitamines," in a very stable form. These vitamins are believed to purify the food and to prevent scurvy and vari- Industry of Genius. The War Garden. SAVED HER JEWELS Former Russian Czarina Sent Gems to Germany. Treasure Estimated to Be Worth $100,000,000 Kept Out of Hands of the Revolutionists. The Russian royal jewels, including the gems that incrusted the imperial Momanoff crown, are safe from the democratic hands of the new rulers in Petrograd. With a woman's intuitive knowledge of trouble ahead, the former czarina had them tucked away in a safe deposit vault in her ancestral city of Darmstadt, Germany, right at the beginning of the war. And there they will remain until Mr. and Mrs. Romanoff claim them again, says the New York Tribune. The story of the Russian royal jewels is told in the Chronicle by a writer who says that the former czarina was largely responsible for the war, in that she assured her German friends and relatives that Russia would not be a formidable antagonist. She proceeded to prove this antbellum prediction by pro-German intrigue which ended with the revolution and the overthrow of the Romanoff dynasty. But the former czarina, who, before her marriage was Princess Alexandra Alice of Hesse, had no illusions about Germany. Accordingly, she packed up the family jewels in the summer of 1914, when she saw the international war clouds appear, and sent them in charge of trusted messengers to her brother, the grand duke of Hesse, for safe keeping till peace was restored. The royal emissaries traveled by the way of Finland and Sweden. They reached their destination before the mobilization of the Russian army was complete. The tale of the czarina's German forehandedness in the matter of saving the family gems is said to have been revealed by members of the Russian commission, who visited New York city recently. A New York society woman had her eye peeled for bargains in royal jewelry and approached members of the commission on the subject of purchasing a string of rare pearls which she had seen the former czarina wear at a fashionable European resort some years ago. She was told that she would have to talk to Mrs. Romannoff or her brother, the grand duke of Hesse. Ivan Narodny, Russian business man and writer of New York, corroborated the article in the Chronicle.
