Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 35, Number 16, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 24 October 1902 — The Burning of Leaves. [ARTICLE]

The Burning of Leaves.

Persons afflicted with lung trouble and sore throats raise a big howl about the bnrning of leaves on the streets in the evening when the smoke refuses to ascend but bangs near the ground and penetrates every part of the residences. People say that those who are well and strong should give a thought to the oomfort of the afflicted and burn the leaves at noon time when the atmosphere is fresh and the smoke will soon blow away.
