Is the Prediction of Hicks, the St. l.i iiis Weather Projeiiostictfor. The first reactionary storm period js central on the 1st, 2nd and 3rd. A change to warmer weather will pass from west to east over the most parts iG at the office of the County Auditor, ist, 2nd and 3rd, attended by falling Leon, Iowa, until 10 o'clock a. m. I barometer, cloudiness and rain—the Wednesday, February 3, 1915, for the the country on and touching the northern sections pf the country. The Moon will be on the celestial equator on the 3rd, moving toward its south declination. Winter lightning and thunder, especially southward, will be natural on and touching that date, but sudden revulsion to severe cold should be looked for within a few hours of these electrical storms This change to rising barometer and cold Clearing weather, will reach parts of the country, moving from west to east, from about the 2nd to the 6th. ra jn turning to snow over central to The first regular storm period ex tends over the 5th to the 11th, hav ings its center on Sunday the 7th. Disturbing causes and what to look for—The "Vulcan influence" lies at the foundation of this and all other storm periods. The Venus equinox is still in full force, with Moon in peri gee on the 7th, at last quarter on the 6th, and extreme south declina tion on the 9th. Pacific coasts and mountain regions will have growing storm conditions by the 5th and 6th. Falling barometer, change to warm er, growing cloudiness and storms of wind, rain and snow, will grow in ex tent and force, as they pass eastward and southward across the country from tlie 7th to the 10th. These storms wilt be crossing the central Mississippi valley about the 8th and 9th, with barometer rising and cold, clearing weather advancing from the west, and threatening storms ap proaching the Atlantic coast states. Thus three distinctive phases of weather will prevail in these ex tremes at the same time. Each sec tion, will have its turn at each of them, as the changing conditions move from west to east across the country. If you do not correctly an ticipate when each phase will pass your locality, it will be through your dogged indifference, or failure to watch forecasts and growing indica tions. 13y every consideration—put a Word and Works barometer in your office or residence. The second reactionary storm per iod falls centrally on the 12th, 13th and 14th. The Venus disturbance will still contribute its influence, in connection with the Moon's conjunc tion with the Earth and Sun on the 13th. This conjunction of Moon, Earth and Sun is at an eclipse node, and will make itself felt in aggravat ed storms and seismic disturbances. A wave of warmer weather, falling barometer and sudden, severe storms of wind and rain, followed by snow and cold, will touch most sections— beginning far west—on and touching the 12tli, Kith and 14th. See for yourself. •. The second regular storm jperiod is cehtral on the 19th, extending in its influence from the 16th to the 21st. Disturbing causes and what to look for—the Venus period culminates at this period, blending with the on coming vernal equinoctial period, all uniting with the regular Vulcan per turbation. The Moon is on the celes tial equator on the 16th and at first quarter on the 21st. Look for change to much warmer, with falling barom eter, and possibly electrical storms, the first days of this period, as the Moon is moving from south to north declination, bringing warm, electri cal currents from Che south. The 18th, 19th and 20th are the culminat ing days of this period. On and touching these days, storms of great er or less severity will make their transit from west to east across the country. They will begin in the form of cloudiness and rain, but will turn to snow on the western flanks, attended by rising barometer and change to cpld, northwesterly winds and clearing skies. Sharp cold will prevail generally at the windup of this period. The third reactionary storm period is central on th£ 24th, 25th and 26th. On and touching these days, all care ful observers will see that the sky will soften, winds will turn to south erly, followed by falling barometer, change to warmer, with return of rain and snow, drifting progressively over the country from west to east. Another decided spurt of cold, with rising barometer and northwest 'Winds will follow these storms. Make your arrangements accordingly and see how far you miss it. As a rule, the atmospheric tides follow the Moon in its declinations north and south of the equator, causing south erly winds and warmer when it is at north declination, and northerly winds and colder when it is south. But under stress of special combina tions, there are exceptions to this rule, when sweeping boreal winds rush southward before the Moon is far from its north declination. Such promises to be the case'at the close of this third reactionary period, or before the Moon reaches the celestial equator going southward. Cold, dis agreeable weather will prevail over most parts of the country, as Feb ruary comes to its close. Under the influence of an oncoming storm per iod, change to warmer, with falling barometer, will be noted in extreme western parts. of the country about the 27th and 28th. These conditions will increase and spread eastward during the opening days of March. Free trip to Panama Exposition this summer. Deafness Cannot Be Cjured by local applications, aa they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is pnly one way to euro deafness, and that is by 'constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed, condi tion of the mucous lining of the Eusta chian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it Is entirely closed, Deafness is the*rcsult, and unless the In flammation can be talten out and this tube restored to Jt3 normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, Which is nothing but an inflamed condi tion of the mucous surfaces.

NO ::w in if ^**1^ Rout Kt v* matter how care ful one may be in wash ing sweaters and other knit goods, ordinary laundry soap never leaves them as soft and pretty as when new. yj The alkali and inferior fats contract, stiffen and weaken the woolen fibers. This means a change both in the appearance and fit of the garment. To keep them in perfect condition, wash with Ivory Soap. Because of its freedom from alkali and all harmful materials, Ivory is as easy on these garments as your own careful handling. It cleans them but their texture remains the same. Here are some timely hints on washing knit goods: .' If very loosely woven put them into a pillow case or cheese cloth bag so they will not be stretched. If no bag is used, slip a towel under them to remove them from the suds. Throw the sleeves of sweater over the back of a chair while the body lies on the seat. Use lukewarm water and Ivory Soap Paste. (See directions in side wrapper.) Do not rub soap on the garment or the garment on the board.
