That of yesterday, la&t night and this morning was general throughout tho county and it Ip gen erally thought to have been sufficient to insure the growing of the largest crop of corn that Cass county has ever had and of the late potato crop as well.

There la considerable danger, ac cording to a German medical newspa per, which recently discussed the ef feet of drinking chemically pure wa ter that la, water containing no dis I solved salta or gases. The aotlon of pure distilled water withdraws salts from tho tissues, which swll up by lmoiDiuon, ana is a dangerous proto P'asnnc poison. When swallowed It I - " ' - ""f layers of the gastric epithelium, which die and are exfoliated. That vashlng out the stomach with distilled water has a bad effect is proved. ' Really pure water would be worse still. Wa ters occur In nature purer than ordi nary distilled water, and hence the practical Importance of the subject to medicine. Water obtained from clear, natural Ice may cause gastric catarrh. and vomiting when given to patients to suck. Artificially made Ice nerer produces such pure water on melting, and Is therefore safer. Guide books usually warn travelers not to drink water from snow, glaciers or clear mountain torrents, which, instead of quenching thirst, often produces gas tritis. The most remarkable instance Is that of a spring at Gastein, which has been known for centuries as the 'Poison Spring," and no one will drink Its water, though no nolson has ever I been found in It. The simple fact Is that the Gastein water is purer than distilled water, and has In consequence the same injurious effects. King, Emporer, Duke, Prince $1. Elson, the Clothier. To the Public.
