Dee Moines, March 14.—The stand eats Increased their lead in the re publican state convention as the re mit of county conventions held today, ^nd will control the Third district con vention. The control of the Third has been ^in doubt until today, and hinged on the tfctlon of the Buchanan county con tention, held at Independence. The rtaadpatters were in control, which wra 9 rather expected, and selected twelve delegates to the state and dis trict conventions. The control of the Fourth district was in doubt, and de pended on the 1 results in Winneshiek and Worth, with the chances favorable to the progressives. Twenty-one conventions were held today, and as a result the friends of Allison have increased their majority in the state convention, which will be large enough to unseat the progres sive delegation from Scott and that from Butler as the latter is deemed as necessary for standpat purposes. It is the purpose of the Allison lead ers to have the convention adopt res olutions which will indorse Allison in no uncertain terms. They consider their victory -as wresting the control at the republican party in Iowa from the hands of the progressives and ex pect to makethe present victory com pftete byd&rrjfingtheiJfimafttfe in June not only for Allison tout for the stand Total 150 Conceded to Progressives. The following counties are conceded to thp progressives: Counties. Delegate.-? Blackhawk (divided) 12 Howard 9 Humboldt S •Emmet 3 Cherokee 11 Ida 8 Total' 56 In the Doubtful List. These counties are put in the doubt ful column: Counties. Delegates Clinton .v.. 22 Winneshiek 14 Worth Total 43 The 150 delegates claimed as certain for the standpatters in today's conven tions will put the number at 657 or 64 more than a majority. They also expect to carry Clinton and have hopes of Winneshiek and possibly Worth. Con trol of the Fourth district probably depends upon the results in Winneshiek and Worth counties. Progressives Control Seventh.* Special to Times-Republican. Des Moines, March 14.—T'he seventh congressional district convention was called to order at 2:30, with the pro gressives easily in control. Practically the one question to decide was on dele agates to the national convention. Polk icounty, with the largest delegation, could easily secure one delegate, but up to a late hour was having difficulty In finding a man. Howard Clark, who ~Was frequently mentioned, withdrew in favor of Ingham. Ingham at: first re fused but later It Is said consented. -Vi IttHifc lat state ticket, headed by State Aud- named to the state and congressional itor Carroll for governor. For this reason they purpose to make the most of their return to power by taking everything in sight next Wed nesday. George D. Perkins probably will be the permanent chairman of the con vention and will be selected as one of the delegates at large to the national convention. National Committeeman Ernest Hart, former Congressman "Joe" Lane, and Lafe Young probab ly will toe selected as the others. The verified returns from all the counties which had held conventions up to last night, show the following figures: Standpat delegates, 507 progressive delegates, 398 contested delegates, 29. The twenty-one coun ties to hold conventions today will se lect 249 delegates, and caucuses al ready held will decide the results in these counties. Forecast of Today's Results. Already the results of caucuses show that the following counties in tomor row's list are safely landed in the standpat column: Counties. W Delegates. Iowa Cedar Scott 29 Jones 1° Muscatine 16 Shelby 1° Cass 11 Adair 9 Audubon 8 Delaware 1° Calhoun 9 Blackhawk (divided) 6 Buchannan 1- There Is a possibility that Polk may not nominate a candidate and Loren Hayes, of Marion, and R. Quade, of Story, may be selected. Delegates from the Seventh district will be Loren Hayes, of Marion, and C. R. Quade, of Story, both progressives. Clark and Ingham, of IV Ik, refused to take it Buchanan Goes Standpat. Special to Times-Republican. Independence, March 11.—The coun ty convention today was in control oT the standpatters, and a solid delega tion was chosen in line with the con vention sentiment. A vigorous effort was put forth by the Allison forces to control this county, as the twelve del egates were required to swing tho Third district, in which Allison re sides, in line for him. Blackhawk Divides- Special to Times-Republican. Waterloo, March 14.—'in accordance with an arrangement for harmony in the interests of Pickett for congress, the Blackhawk county convention di vided its delegation todi.y^ The con vention was harmotyouM, and six of the eighteen delegates were given to Allison.

Clinton, March 14.—Clinton county, which has been listed in the doubful column, was largely a progressive af fair today. Of the twenty-t.wo dele gates to the state convention, twenty are for Cuinmins and two for Allison. The county was placed solidly in the Cummins column under the instruc tions given, as the delegation was in structed to vote as a unit. vi^ Emmet All Progressive. Special to Times-Republican. Estherville, March 14.—The conven tion was in the hands oi' the progres sives. A. C. Brown was chairman. Strong resolutions were passed endors ing Roosevelt, Cummins, Kinne, Lee and F. P. Woods for congress. Woods was enthusiastically received and made a ringing .speech, outlining the situa tion in the state and the Tenth district A solid progressive delegation was conventions. Jones Stays Standpat. Special to Times-Republican. Anamosa, March 14.—The Junes county convention today was of the stiffest Allison brand, and the dele gates named, the instruct, ons given and the resolutions adopted were of tho same brand. Not a progressive repub lican was heard from. Delaware Instructs for Allison. Special to Times-Republican. Manchester, March 14.—The Dela ware county convention was in com plete control of the Alljson forces, they having 103 of the 110 delegates. A solid Allison delegation to the state convention was named, and the reso lutions endorse Roosevelt, Taft and A-Ilison. •Muscatine for Taft and Allison. Special to Times-Republican. Muscatine, March 14.—The county convention today was in the hands of the Allison men. but the Cummins men controlled the Third ward of the city. Delegates to the state convention will be for Taft and Allison, altho a fight is being made against tne resolutions and against instructions. Scott Goes to Allison, Lane Endorsed, Special to Times-Republican. Davenport, March 14.—The Scott county republican convention this af ternoon met and named an Allison del egation, endorsing Allison for senator and instructing the delegation to vote for Joe R. Lane! as del'jgate-at-large to the national convention. This means the control of tlvs Second dis trict will be in the hands of the stand patters, ^s Scott holds the balance of power.

Haugen was endorsed for congressman. The resolutions en dorse Roosevelt, Taft anci Cummins. It I is thought there is nc doubt that: Worth county will be strongly pro-! gressive at the primaries this year, as in the past. ALIA TRIES ESCAPE Condemned Murderer of Father Hein richs Slashes "Trusty" With Razor in Effort to Regain Freedom, But is Overpowered. Denver, March 14.—Ar attempt was made today by Giuseppe Alia, the con demned murderer of Father Heinrichs, to escape from the jail where he has been under heavy guuid, day and night. He used a. razor blade to slash the neck of a "trusty" who was clean ing his cell, and made a rush to get away. The "trusty," despite his cut, rushed after Alia, and pinioned him. He was .quickly overpowered vvuh the help of the deputy war ten. Head of Now York Republican League Declares Roosevelt Will Be Nominated SAYS ELECTION WILL FOLLOW Declares the People Want Him and Will Have Him—Important Bill Re moxing Tax on Leaf Tobacco Passed by House—Senate Democrats Told to Get Busy. by my earlier prediction, .that the nom- inee at Chicago will be President Roosevelt," said John A. Stewart j* president of the New York Republi- can League of Clubs, today at the fas White House. "I have been a good deal around the country of late, and I notice some significant things. You can travel anywhere and not see any body talking politics. Usually at this time of a presidential year everybody is talking it. I believe the explana tion lies in the deep-seated conviction that it is going to be Roosevelt at the convention and at the polls. The peo ple want .him. From Maine to Cali fornia and from New Orleans to Du luth, you will 'find SO per cent of them for him and expecting somehow to get him. Well, I think that sentiment is beginning now to crystalize into a form that will be felt in the conven tion. The feeling In the public was better expressed to me by a young philanthropic worker who told me he had nover known anybody to go to the president in behalf of a good cause, that he did not find an enthus iastic, sympathetic and welcome re ception awaiting him. The people know that and they are so thoroughly committed to Roosevelt that they sim ply decline to take seriously the pos- sibility of his not being president, and I expect them to have their way. To In Interests of Tobacco Growers. Washington, March 14.—A bill of great Importance to the tobacco inter ests of the country was passed by the house today. It provides for a removal of the tax on leaf tobacco when bought by storekeepers or dealers and sold to consumers: permits storekeepers* ,to buy and sell it as any other commodity without paying the tax and abrogates U?w certain rules of the internal revenue jan^ exporting interests from the prin ntf 4VIA mnt HA«A 11 bureau which prevent the grower from selling or delivering his tobacco to consumers by his agent. Whipping Democrats Into Line. Washington, March 14.—The demo cratic steering committee of the senate today took up the subject of inatten tion to business on the part of minor ity senators in committee meetings and on the floor of the senate. It was ar gued that at a time when there is dan ger of legislation having a direct bear ing on national politics the minority should make it a point to acquaint themselves with all bills taken up in committee so as to be ready to lead the fights if it should be the policy of the party to oppose such bills. No rule was adopted, but it is understood Senator Culberson, the minority leader, will prod the democratic senators to closer attention to business. GRAFTERS ARE CONVICTED. Pennsylvania Capitol Scandal Case Re sults in Verdicts of Guilty. Harrisburg, Pa., March 14.—All the defendants in the notorious Pennsyl vania state capitol graft case were found guilty at 8:53 o'clock last night, when the jury completed its delibera tions. The state of Pennsylvania has been swindled out of about $9,000,000 in the erection of its magnificent Capitol. An effort was made by the defense to prove that there were »no overcharges—in some instances 200 to 500 per cent. This was unsuccessful. Penitentiary sentences await) four "conspirators" in the notorious graft case. The convicted men are: John H. Sanderson, a Philadelphia furniture dealer and contractor: for mer Auditor General W. P. Snyder, former State Treasurer W. L. Mat- The arguments were concluded, and yesterday Judge Kunkel gave fin al instructions to the jurors, who have listened to testimony and speech es since Jan. 27. The present case constituted one of the longest jury trials in the history of Pennsylvania courts, and it attracted much atten tion thruout the state. The prosecution of the alleged capi tol frauds is the indirect outcome of the great political upheaval in Philadelphia in 1905, which ivsulted in tho fall of that year in the election of W. H. Berry, a democrat, to the office of state treasurer. After Berry took office he startled the people of the slate by charging that the books of the state treasury showed that the' capitol. in stead of costing $4,000,000. had autu allv cost 51 "'.000.

After the sentencing of the four de fendants now before the court has been disposed of, the prosecution of the oth ers will be taken up. The state alleges that the frauds in the furnishing and decorating of the capitol aggregated nearly $9,000,000.

I think now that any vestige ,of doubt remaining In the mind of any person about whether Ohio is solidly and enthus iastically for Taft is forever put to rest by the action of our state con vention.

Of the 144 delegates to the national conven tion thus far selected to the Chicago convention, 112 have been instructed for Taft, six are uninstructed, and 26 from Indiana are instructed for Fair banks. I believe you realize as I do that Secretary Taft's nomination is now as completely assured as anything politically possibly can be." It is believed 'that beyond doubt the majority of the rank and file of the republicans of Iowa are for Sec retary Taft for president. They would probably rather see Roosevelt the next president than anyone else, but seeing that is Impossible thcy^ turn naturally to Taft. The progressives witll carry Clinton county in the convention today, In the city of Clinton the progressives got fifty-two delegates and the stand patters five. The progressives have seventy-three of the 126 delegates with many country precincts to hear from. This is the county that Cal George was going to carry for Allison.

Attrac tions now running In New York city to crowded houses have been booked for the "attractions" feature of the fair and more money Is to be spent this year for the attractions than has ever .been spent before. A series of articles telling the true story of how things are run in the Un cles and they go to the bottom. They tell how the cripples are handled with a maximum amount of profit to the employes of the yards and a 'minimum to the owner of the stock. Many of the employes of the yards receive no wages from the commission houses for which they work. They "pick up" their wages and thev do it at the ex- pected of having tuberculosis which a post mortem discloses do not have tuberculosis are buffchered ln a pack ing house where the public is not ad mitted and where information as to what becomes of the stock is very dif ficult to obtain. The articles tell of the graft of the stock yards and how the live stock exchange is in reality a trust and monopolizes everything. They tell of how the Co-Operative Commission •Company was organized by the Corn Belt Meat Producers' association lead ers and how the other concerns at ers and how the other concerns exchange posed as thc friend of the people and then stabbed them In the back. When the Corn Belt Meat Producers' association anet in this city a short time ago the members were enthusiastic over those articles and ordered that t.hev be printed in pam phlet. form and circulated aLI over the state. The fact is that the Corn Belt Meat Producers' association is fighting the battle of its life to get a square deal in Chicago and from the railroads and is gradually winning Its way. It took up the matter of freight rates and at every turn is proving its claim that the cattle feeders of Iowa are dis criminated against. It has taken up the cudgel against the methods of handling things in the Chicago stock yards where graft has ruled things for years and it is gradually forcing things there. The association started ln Iowa and the bulk of the members are In Iowa, but there are also members residing ln Illinois, Missouri, Nebraska, Minne sota and the Dakotas. u" NO MEETING MARCH 24 Only the Indiana Operators Are Ready to Meet Scale Committee of United Mine Workers of America, at Any Time. it was har- Indianapolis, Maroh 14.—The scale committee of the United Mine Work ers of America has not received replies from all the operators to whom invita tions were sent to meet here March 24.

Paris, March 14.—News of the de cision to send the American battleship fleet back to the Atlantic coast by way of Australia and the Suez canal, is re ceived here as the crowning revelation of the efficiency of the American navy. The statement that the cruise is to be extended in this manner has opened the eyes of the French public, which had been led to believe that the Amer ican navy Was a good deal of a "bluff," that the cruise around South America would demonstrate the incapacity of the vessels, and that If it was accom plished the ships would be ready for the scrap heap. Even in French naval circles the belief was that a long voy age would develop structural weakness in the vessels. Many French officers now frankly say that the impressive demonstration given by the American fleet of its ability to keep at sea, raises the American navy to an equality with that of Great Britain, and that if the return journey is as successful as the trip around South America has been, the American navy will have demon strated that it has no superiors in the world. French Minister of the Marine M. Thomson is so impressed with the re sult of this cruise that he is instruct ing Lieutenant Commander De Blan pre, the French naval attache at Washington, to proceed to San Fran cisco and send in a full report of the condition of the ships and lessons of the cruise. fit- $5,000,000 FINE AFFIRMED.

Special to Times-Republican. Des Moines, March 14.—Politicians are confident that Mr. N. S. Ketchum will be renominated for stale railroad commissioner at the primaries to be held on June 2. Mr. Ketch cm Is now serving his first term as commissioner and it is the time honored custom in the state of Iowa, to give at least a second term as a sort of reward where the administration of the trust during the first term has been faithful and capable. Mr. Ketchum has made one of tlie best railroad commissioners the state of Iowa has ever had. When he came into the office he came with a wide knowledge of freight and railroad mat ters already obtained from an experi ence of years as a shipper and railroad constructing engineer. There have been many railroad commissioners in Iowa, but the great majority of them have known little or nothing about railroad matters when they first en tered the office. They havo spent the first year or two learning the business. Mr. Ketchum entered the office fully equipped. He was first suggested by people who are now prominent In the Iowa Manufacturers' association, which lias since been organized because the* im plement manufacturers saw the neces sity of having someone on the com mission who understood their needs. From the very first day that he came onto the commission he began doing things, and has been at it ever since, and here are Scores of people in Iowa who tried for years without success to get little matters attended to who pin great faith to Mr. Ketchum. The term of railroad commissioner is three years, and Mr. Ketchum is now serving his third year, the last year cf his first term. Being in a minority the first year, he was able still to lay the foundation for a grat deal of work. When the last legislature gave some additional authority, and the peo ple thru the polls gave themselves a majority op the compilation, things began to move. There, no denying that the state rallroatL. t&mmission had .been criti cized tbr'&eatH'Jor. the things that it did not do. It is doubtful if there 13 any criticism of the record of the past year. During the past fourteen months, during which there has been a ma jority of the commission favorable to the interests of the people, a joint freight/rate, express rates and an en tire revision of the freight rates have been made. Besides, some of the more important rates, such as that on live stock, have been cut down. In the case of live stock it amounts to about a 20 per cent reduction. In addition to these larger matters, the commission has looked after scores of smaller matters. As to Mr. Ketchum's administra tion of his office, there c?m be no just criticism. He has devoted all his time to the office since he was elected. He took up on his own Initiative the mat ter of stone quarries, and when the stone men themselve® did not know why their stone were not in demand, he made an Investigation and got for them some lower rates that have been of vast benefit. He has taken up any number of other matter:) where there was not even any complaint, and has been able to accomplish things of in calculable benefit to the people of the state. With the knowledge of his compe tent service before the people, politi cians do not believe that any amount of opposition to him will result in his being defeated for the customary sec ond term.

In the stomach and digestive and nutritive tracts are performed pro cesses which are almost exactly like the churning of butter.

The house was a frame structure, and when the storm had passed, scarcely two boards could be found nailed together. It seems mir aculous that their lives were spared.

BABY'S VOICE IMarrh 14 1303 119 HUM Professor Holden Advises Fann ers Against Sciulii'ff Away For Corn Seed HOME GROWN IS THE BEST Holden Urges That Farmers Purchase Seed Grown in Own County for Sev­ eral Years—Those Having Surplus Asked to Notify Department of Ex­ tension at Ames College. Special to Ttmos-ReDublican. Ames. March 14.—Prof. P. G. Itold en, head of the department of agri culture extension of Iowa State col lege, has issued another timely bul letin on selection of seed corn, in which he advises planters to utilize home grown seed. The circular says: "The condition of much of the seed corn to be planted in Iowa this year is bad. This is especially true in the northern half of the state. "Many will tind it necessary to buy seed and being unable to secure It near home will send away and pur chase it wherever seed is advertised. In most cases this will lead to dis appointment, for corn grown from seed brought in from a distance, es pecially from the south, will yield considerably less than that from home grown seed and will also fail to ma ture as well. "This department wishes to urge iijiou those buying seed to secure that which has been grown In their own county for a number of years. A large number of experiments conducted in different parts of the state during the past three years have shown very con clusively that corn grown from even good seed brought in from a distance yields less than an apparently poorer quality of -corn raised in that local ity. They -have also shown that im ported seed will not mature as •well as the home grown seed. "If someone in the neighborhood has well matured corn which was har vested early it will be safer to select the best ears from the crib, test six or more kernels from each ear and save for seed only those from which six kernels grow strong than to send away for seed which is not suited to that locality. "Many inquiries as to where seed may be purchased have already been received. Judging from past exper ience the greatest demands will come about corn planting time, when many will awake to the realization that they have no seed corn and do not know where to get any. "I wish that those having .more seed corn than they need, •which will grow well and mature in their local ity, to write to P. G. Holden, and make it known, stating the name of the va riety, whether it is early, and the price per bushel, so that less fortunate peo ple can be directed to someone in their own section of the state for seed. "I wish to draw attention again to the great need of testing six or more kernels from every ear of seed to be planted in Iowa this year." RICHARD A. CARLETON DEAD.

EASTERN OFFICE R. J. Shannon, Manager, Brunswick building, New York, N. T. HOW THE SAME IS PLAYED. There are politicians in Iowa who are in politics because they regard it as a great game, that and nothing else, and frequently avow this belief. Queer things are done in the playing of this game. For instance, it is recalled that four years ago the politicians stirred up factional discord when there was no occasion for such, and the factiona.1 lsts gained control of the Iowa repub lican convention. The factionalisms made a great ado about how they swept the state. How was it done? They discovered that Iowa was for Roosevelt and they made pretense of being for Roosevelt, and they said :he state was united on Roosevelt, hence let there be harmony. And when there was harmony, they, made a great shout about how they whipped "the Cummins men" and had forever buried progres siveness In Iowa. Then they, these standpat faction alists, proceeded to choose delegate* to the national convention, and they sent as their special representative the po litical manager of the Burlington rail road, a man who only the previous year had gone to Mark Hanna and had personally urged him to be a can didate against Roosevelt. These stand patters of Iowa went to Roosevelt car rying gifts, borne aloft by a man who had only a short time previously been ready to put the dirk into the \ery soul of Roosevelt and destroy him. And they said, See how loyal we arc to our great president. Four years later. The game goes on. Men who have been for years de nouncing evepy principle for which Secretary Taft stands are posing as the keepers of Taft sentiment in Iowa. A few weeksf ago all was harmoni JUS. Everybody was for Taft, and there was no occasion for a light in the conven tion having only to do with choosing a candidate for president. But a has ty trip was made to Washington by self-seeking politicians and a confer ence was called for the purpose of in jecting factionalism into the game. It was done. And what do these standpatters pur pose to do this year? Four years ago they sent as a Roosevelt man one who had the previous year been engaged in plotting to destroy Roosevelt. This year they are planning to send to the national convention as the special champion of Taft a man who the pre vious year was engaged In planning to thwart Taft's ambition and to un do what Roosevelt had done. They expect to send as the special and par ticular champion of Taft and the Taft progressive ideas an editor who last year was advocating the sending from Iowa of a Shaw delegation on the score that "Shaw and Fairbanks Vepre-sent the same elements." They expect to send an editor who has denounced more bitterly than any other the so called radicalism of LaFollette, and who last year declared that "Secretary Taft is ranked as a radical in the class with LaFollette and others." And these Iowa standpatters expect to set up as their chosen leader in the Taft cause this same editor who last year urged "that Secretary Taft's position on the tariff question would maks his nomination against Bryan an impossi bility fcetause on the leading issue they would stand together." ANTI'CUMMINS MEN WILL CONTROL It Is now settled beyond a doubt that the anti-Cummins men will control the state republican convention at Des Molnesv on Wednesday of next week. The delegates at large will be Lafe Young, George D. Perkins, Joe Lane and Ernest E. Hart, who are supposed to be as bitterly hostile to Governor Cummins as it will be possible to find in the state of Iowa. Hostility to the governor is the dominating purpose of this convention. The men selected for delegate honors will be chosen upon a test of their enmity to Cummins. It will be an anti-Cummins convention so far as the votes of the majority can make it. The resolutions will express It. It will be what Lafe calls a "beau tiful spring" for those who are light ing what Perkins calls the "Cummins party." But what will be the result of it all? The candidacy of Cummins and of Al lison is to be determined by the Votes of all the republicans at a statewide primary in June. Suppose the men who sneer at statewide primaries do control this convention? Suppose the men who are sore at the 2-cent fare law do have their Inning? Suppose the politicians who have lost their passes do win for a moment? Suppose the bankers who are mad because the state now charges interest on deposits of state money do come up on top? Suppose the powerful railway attor neys whose railway clients have bec-n made to pay more taxes every time a Cummins assessment has been made do see tfoelr friends and federal office holders running things? Suppqt.e the men who nate cummins for his veto of the bill to New Jerseyize Iowa, for his support of the Peterson law against stock watering, for Ills testi mony before the Elklns committee on rate regulation, for his influence in leg islating against campaign contribu tions by corporations, do have a chance to get even? Suppose these men all jump on Cummins and make the most of their opportunity, will it change any votes in Iowa? Will the people, busy at home with their own affairs, turn against Cum mins at the primaries? Do they hate Cummins when the railroads sell tick ets to everybody at the one price, and make the politicians pay cash fare? Will they forget that while the rail roads are not running the party now, they once did. and that Senator Allison was then willing to meet the railway at torneys In Chicago, and receive their instructions as to appointments of federal judges, attorneys and mar shals without protest or public oppo sition? Will the average voter go against the man who has led the re forms for cleaner politics and govern ment by the people in Iowa, Just be cause the professional politicians and caucus workers hate him? Hardly. The vote in the primaries will be for Cummins. The caucus manipulators carried the state overwhelmingly in a delegate convention four years ago and put Mr.Blyllie at the head of an antl Cuinmins delegation. Inside of two years Cummins carried the state for a third term nomination because the fight was fierce enough to turn the cau cuses into primaries by reason of the number of votes gotten out. In three months from today the republicans of Iowa will all vote at a legalized pri mary given to them by reason of the success of Cummins for a third term, and a majority of them will vote for Cummins.. Nine years ago the railway attorneys forced a legislature to re-elect the de crepit Gear solely to beat Cummins, and the feeble old man died so soon afterwards that a railroad governor appointed his successor, having since confessed In a public addresg that he would have appointed Blythe had Mr. Blythe so wished him to do, but in the very next year the Cummins men con trolled a state convention nominating Messrs. Gilbertson and Martin, and two years afterward they nominated Cummins himself for governor. Alli son is nearly 80 years old, and the Gear precedent will be remembered. Success of the professional politicians at the caucuses in unimportant con ventions have heretofore been followed by the people being aroused for Cum mins. The next test will be at the pri maries in Jun£. It will be Cummins* turn. Topics of the Times i'«.r.v Professor Macy has mastered the theory and history of politics most thoroughly, but the result of the con vention at Oskaloosa Thursday should suggest to him that some of his for mer students could have told him things about the practice of politics which had not occurred to him New York city's school authorities have arranged to send city boys to the country this summer for vacation ex perience on farms. Already 2,000 boys have applied for the privilege. The experiment will do the city a world of good, but God help the farms. Roosevelt was talking to his kind of people when he addressed the Mo thers' Congress.. One of the strangest things in mod ern times is the unrestrained burning and killing by the Kentucky night rid ers. i. "Your wife used to like to sing, and she played the piano a lot. Now we don't hear her at all. How's that?" "She hasn't the time. We have two children." "Weli. well! After all, children are a blessing!" Roof parties are becoming popular in Marshalltown. It is either this or sleep in the street. Referring to the new corporation law the Register and Leader says that it should be nationalized, but Jim Berry hill believes that it is bad because a Cummins legislature enacted it. 'i "Please, ma'am," said the maid, "there's a colored man and his wife at the door in answer to your advertise ment." "But I advertised only for a laun dress." "Yes, ma'am, they are her."—Ev a a The Marengo Republican says that Larrabee was a good man in his place, but he was one of Iowa's few public men who nev.er liked Allison." Now, why was it? Larrabee protested against, the school of statesmen who were content to keep silent in the presence of complete domination of a great party by railway corporations. Now that the anti-Cutnlnins Crowd has grained a majority of the delegates in the coming state convention, why do we not hear of a scheme to have the state central committee steal con trol of the coonvention away from them? Can it be that a Cummins committee never learns anything from Ed. Hunter? "It Is a remarkable fact that In Sioux City every one of the eight wards of the city selected Allison delegates without a single contest In one ward. This was done in the face of the bald est misrepresentations of the Allison men on the part of the Sioux City Tribune."—Cedar Rapids Republican. Bosh. The Tribune stated several days before the caucuses that no ef fort would be made to oppose the standpat crowd, and there was not. There are local offices in Sioux City, both county and city, and the man who runs the Journal never forgets. Evelyn Is to get $50,000 and $15,000 a year for pin money from the Thaws, but this is as nothing to what the law yers get. a Under the present law, as inter preted by the supreme court, a labor union Is as much amenable to punish ment if it attempts to restrict the price of labor on an interstate railroad as is the railroad which combines with an other line to put into operation a thru rate for freight and passengers. An amendment is now before congress which will legalize both the labor un ion and the traffic association, and will make the test not of combination but of character of combination. If the Russian fleet had practiced on a cruise such as the American fleet has just enjoyed there might have been fewer changes to make on the map after the war with Japan. IOWA OPINIONS AND NOTES. The Marengo Republican asks: "What harm came from the re-elec tion of Gear as senator six years ago? The "progressives" seem to think that Iowa should not elect an old man sen ator again as it did then. It then re sulted an old and influential man being retained, and when he. died the appointment of Dolliver and his sub sequent election, and Iowa was being well represented in the senate all that time." "Now Is the time for farmers to get out their road drags and put them in operation," urges the Nonpareil. A few hours or a few days devoted to leveling the roads at this time of the year will go far towards insuring smooth highways for the spring, sum mer and fall." Commenting on the loss to Iowa farmers because of poor seed corn, the Chelsea Independent asks: "Why guess at it? Why not know? It is a very easy matter to test the seed. Takes only a little time, still less expense, and It seems to us the testing of the seed before planting would be an ex periment of no little Interest to the people on the farms. Test your seed! Do It now! It will make a wonderful difference In the crop you harvest next fall." The Jefferson Bee takes a philosoph ical view of the situation in Green.* county. The Bee says the majority won, and, on the theory that a thun derstorm sometimes ^clears the atmos phere, there ought to be clearer skies "The postmaster general Is not re ceiving many Douquets for his efforts to regulate the business of the news paper publishers of the country, pre scribing how much (iredit they may ex tend to their subscribers," says the Tama News. "There ought to be no difficulty at all in knowing the pa pers, especially the daily and weekly papers which are simon pure news papers and nothing else. And all such ought to be unmolested by the bureau In Washington." The Roland Record editor, after a trip overland, says of the roads: "We found that part of them had been dragged, but most of the roads had not been touched by a King drag this year, and we found that the dragged roads were Just fine, while the undragged roads were rough and full of ruts. What better argument can be found for the use of the King drag?" "The Standard Oil Company is said to be furnishing funds to carry on the fight against Secretary Taft. Lucky fellow! He couldn't have a more valuable political asset," observes the Dows Advocate. "Allison shouters," says the Glidden Graphic, "should remember that the standpatters controlled the convention which sent delegates to the convention at Chicago four years ago. And this has been their last look in since. His tory may repeat itself. It frequently does." Iowa Newspapers ENCOURAGING HARMONY. (Cedar Rapids Republican.) The people of Iowa are tired of the egotistical boss at Des Moines who prayed for Allison's health and for his long continuance in the public service and who wrote letters promising not to run against him and then disregard all these pledges expressed and implied and became a candidate against Sen ator Allison In defiance of a wellnigh unanimous public sentiment. The peo ple, we say are sick and tired of this man and his methods, and they are taking the earliest opportunity to say so. The verdict against Cummins at the forthcoming June primaries will be even more emphatic that the verdict at the caucuses. MONEY IN COWS. (Madrid News-Register.)) The fact that there is money In dairying If the business is correctly handled was demonstrated a few days ago by the stubs of checks a West Side farmer brought to the Register News office. These checks added to gether made the neat .little sum of $428.22 which had been received by this farmer for cream sold during the past year to the Madrid Creamery Co., the farmer milking on an average of less than seven cows during the year. The name of this farmer is F. S. Noland and the milk checks were brought to this office on request. They are still here, and if any one doubts the accuracy of the claims he can see the checks for themselves, and A-erlfy them at the bank. Mr. Noland is careful In handling his cattle, and alms to keep none but those that will pay for their keep. He sells his cream to the Madrid creamery and believes he Is getting every cent the market affords, and fair and honorable tests and treat ment. In addition to the cream sold to the creamery Mr. Noland's family have made their own butter and have retained a sufficient amount Of milk for their own use. Looker-On In Iowa Brooklyn, Marc.h 1-f.—One of the pe culiar features of the present political struggle in Iowa Is the candidacy of Mr. Kerr of Grundy ('enter for the office of congressman from the Fifth' district. Mr. Kerr enters this cam palgn without a following In his home I town county or district. His friends,! by the very nature of the political con ditlons that exist are bound to sup port Mr. Good, because, having been the cause of the Cousins' withdrawal he had gained the support of those opposed to Cousins and because Trevv in is presented as a factional candidate by the anti-Cunvmins faction causing the progressives to rally around Good. This condition leaves Mr. Kerr sus pended In mid-air. Some have sug gested that Mr. Kerr was still In the field for the purpose of dividing the vote of the progressives, thus making a convention possible, and thereby in creasing the chances of Mr. Trewln. Mr. Kerr emphatically denies that such is the case and wants the public to know it. And In the "shoe-string" district that has been well represented by Congressman Birdsall, there Is yet a puzzle to bo solved. His declina tion to again be a candidate was a genuine surprise to his many friends, and they are still asking why did he do it? It is almost a certainty that against any candidate, he could have carried four of the western counties of the district. Altho these counties are controlled by the progressives, Mr. Blrdsall seemed to be in accord with this wing of the party on rate regu lation. and the matters of stato re forms, put into laws at the session of the last legislature. It is a mat ter of-record that at the state oon ventlon wher« the state central com mittee was called upon to endorse the proposed outrageous actions of the standpatters, in Jasper, Wapello and other places, be firmly took a position for decency and honesty In republl- I can politics. So much so that to this day certain prominent standpatters have not forgiven him. In the face of all this he stepped down and out. and the reason he did so is given in I some places in Wright county, that, he did so. because Cuimmins and his friends were instrumental In solicit ing Pickett to enter the field. All of which Is a most Improbable story and no solution of the mystery. Cong ressman Birdsall's friends, that is the progressive element of the party, do not yet believe that he Is coining back to Iowa, to stump the state for Alli son. They reason that Congressman Blrdsall has nothing to gain, and everything to lose by such action. It is true that If he takes such action his personal influence may somewhat increase the Allison vote, 'but it will result In personal antagonism towards Judge Blrdsall, that will make his fu ture political life a very unpleasant one. All this and more was gathered during a stay of several days in AVright. Hardin and Franklin coun ties. 1 Down here In "the bloody Sixth" they have had some harmonious harmony, The Poweshiek county republicans made a deal and lived up to it. There Is quite a feeling here that if a re publican congressman goes to Wash ington "we have got to get together." But Jasper county "kicked the fat Into the fire" last Tuesday. All imanner of charges of bad faith are made against the standpatters In their county con vention la^t Tuesday. In Mahaska county the New Sharon crowd sent a full progressive delegation to the county convention, and they had it put all over them, as one fighting re publican expressed it. There was harmony there, but of the Lacey brand.. And a very suggestive remark was made here in Orinnell today by a standpatter, one by the way, well posted and not so radical as some. He said If the present prominent candi date for congress from this district is named, this of course referring to a republican vote, the standpatters will knife him, and insure Dan Hamilton's election. There is no doubt but what ex-Congressman Lacey still has his war paint on. (No progressive need apply. »'*j. For Sunday Reading All Sorts of Opinions Southern View of Prohibition. The comment of the press outside the south upon the prohibition move ment there Indicates ignorance of the impulse behind the movement, and northern editors, says John E. White, himself a southerner, writing In The Standard (Baptist, Chicago), "are un der the impression that it Is merely an experiment—a timid, tentative ven ture with much mental reservation on the part of the southern people." With a choice of figures Intimately repre sentative of the section treated, the writer proceeds concerning the mis conception of northern editors: The elements unfriendly to prohi bition are described as the "Alcohol ics" and the "Academics." The form er are "those who are partisans of the liquor business for selfish reasons, either desiring to sell liquor, to rent their property for its sale, or because they have formed the saloon habit of drink." The "Academics" are those "who are fallen in love with syllogisms and have some sort of records in the disputatious past." He goes on: "They honestly and consistently question whether prohibition does not belong in the category of decreed im possibility. They frame their creed in two propositions: that state prohibi tion has not been a perfect success in Maine and Kansas that every revolu tion has not been a perfect success in Maine and Kansas that every revolu tion must have its revulsion, and that public sentiment wrought upon sharp ly always reacts. "Now, instead of bandying debate any longer over the matter of fact as to the success or failure of prohibition In Maine and Kansas, and freely ad mitting all the value of the principle of action and reaction as applied to or­ dinary reforms, we have to say that these syllogistic orators have simply not taken pains to acquaint them selves with the situation. They have missed the facts and. therefore, th# genius of the prohibition movement in the south. The prohibition we have here is a different proposition from the prohibition of Maine and Kansas In Its origin, its appeal, and Its condition!8. It Is not ordinary state prohibition. It is an impulse of civil ization, the outflow of the religious, educational, economic, social, and po litical resolution of southern society. Its moral force Is cosmic. Its basis is in the temper and conscience of a sec tion—the unforced compact of a homo geneous people in their consciousness of sectional solidarity. "Again we remind the prophets of reaction that they have assumed that prohibition has been achieved and Is being achieved by spasms of public opinion. Their syllogism required a revolution for Its premise, and they have pressed an evolution into serv ice. There is no spasm, no sudden re volt against the liquor traffic. Inch by Inch the foundations of prohibition have been slowly and surely laid in every Southern state. Prohibition has not come to Georgia as a thief in the night. It is not a child of quick and painless labor. There is no strain of upheaval under dramatic pressure to plague its present or to threaten its future. If prohibition could be meas ured by yards the fact would show that Georgia gained about one yard of prohibition In 1907, and that the rest was old stock. If it had been possible to pray out of heaven the necessary human conditions few a sound founda tion for a permanent prohibition reg ime in the south we could have gotten nothing -sounder than we have secured by the slower and more patient pro cess of the years." Conceit and Church Attendance. Persons wlio do not attend church or synagogue are conceited, in the 'opin ion of Dr. Emil G. Hlrsch, as ex pressed In his sermon yesterday at Sinai Temple. "Absence from church or synagogue shows the conceit of the absentees, and the persons who frown upon true re ligion thereby Indicate the degree of their intellectuality," he said. Dr. Hlrsch declared that It Is this same conceit which has been respon sible for the decline of the pulpit to a point where the public is complain ing of the lack of strong men among the prea.chers. "There are those," he said, "who strut about saying religion shows a limitation of intellectuality, and that It is for the women, children and tho foolish. It's a bubble In their opin ion. T.he truth lies In the other di rection. The man who stays away believes himself so perfect that he would get no good from attending. "If they are so perfect as they be lieve themselves to be it is their duty to be an example for others. Let them go -to church or 'the synagogue and help others. Solitude does not •breed any enthusiasm. "The one thing about which a man thinks he knows most Is the thing about which he often knows least. It does not indicate a ilimit of Intellect uality because a man realizes he is not perfect and attempts to find true re ligion. And true .religion Is not a matter of creed or ritual. It is a con sciousness of imperfection, a striving for perfection and a realization that all of the forces of nature are with you In that contest. "We hear much of the decline of the pulpit. True it is great preachers are rare. Strong men hesitate about entering the pulpit. They see the af fectation of perfection on the part nf the people and hestitate to enter the ministrv. "To become a great engineer means much, but it is easy compared with be coming a great architect of lives. A great preacher must know life, he can not be a surface student." Dr. Hirscli thanked the membrt-s of his congregation who had braved the weather to' be present. "That indicates," he concluded, "that this congregation feels its imperfec tion." i, Jude.

Such details are of no practical con sequence. The modern value of the hook consists in its exposure of what it call" "dreamers" as a very danger ous species. Their harangues n.nd toiks look harmless, and personally t'ne author may be innocent in ap pearance and attractive. But the pri son ot: their influence and teaching ii deadly. It blights morality, bears false witness against our fellow citi zens. destroys, the effects of the es sentials of Christianity, corrupts so ciety and tears thru the foundations of the nation like an anarchist's bomb. According to this book, heaven itself has been invaded, and "the angels kept not their first estate." This clearly implies that here we do not know it all, and that we shall con tinue to learn hereafter. However, what we learn or receive as the truth decides our happiness or misery in both worlds. In an age of too much freedom of speech, and In a country where this freedom is so often abused with bitter consequences from every point of view, this little one-chapter book will be found a valuable guide to progress, success and peace. Harnessing the Winds. (Philadelphia Press.) Denmark, a low country lying be £we. two seas, has plenty of wind, and it is utilizing it on a scale that has never been equaled before. Windmills have been used for time out of mind to pump water and to grind gr&in. Their appropriation of the unlimited power rushing by them has been restricted, as it has been possible to store the power or to combine effectively the force of several windmills or make the hurricane's surplus energy do duty in days of calm. These defects are cured by convert ing the wind power into electricity and equalizing its use thru the storage bat tery. Denmark is taking advantage of this to convert its wind power into electric power for commercial pur poses. It is stated that a wind of fif teen miles an hour will produce eight horse power, and tha.t a twenty mile gale will develop eighteen horse power As the power ot many wind mills can be concentrated and made to serve a single plant, there Is infinite possibility in this resource In any sec tion blessed with frequent winds of considerable force. The Uniter States has abundant wind swept territory. The seashores, prai ries and highlands everywhere have an unlimited supply of this force. It can be converted into electric power and combined and stored for use as readily here as in Denmark. The util ization of this wind power would les sen the drain on our diminishing wood FORffTX r.n-rx HT it xt 4 P**tby Wtch«* ,JM 3 Combination Residence of Attractive AppearanCflr Easy to Heat—Cost $3,500. i.

"Three 1" League Split Wide Open By Strife Between the Clubs THREE CIRCUIT TOWNS OUT Cedar Rapids, Clinton and Rock Island Refuse to Take Part in the Chicago Meeting—Dubuque Is Chief Cause of the Row Jake Schaefer With draws. It looks very much as tho the "Three I" league had grounded and split wide open on the rocks of dissension. The meeting at Chicago Thursday resulted in nothing being accomplished, and only added new grievances to those which have already accumulated to harass the league. Clinton. Cedar Rapids and Rock Island withdrew from the Chicago meeting, which was postponed for one week in the hope that the league factions could be brought together. The withdrawing of Cedar Rapids was largely because Holland was re-elected president. Bel den Hill, owner of the Cedar Rapids team, was one of those bitterly op posed to Holland. Clinton and Rock Island deliberately declared themselves out of the league by withdrawing from the meeting. Back of all I lie trouble Is the Dubuque fight, which has kept the league cir cles at a boiling point for months. Du buque, during the winter, was ousted from the league, but later was re-in stated, only to be cast out again. Its position at the present time is a mat ter of controversy. A schedule has been prepared but it was not presented at the Chicago meeting, because of the uncertainty of Dubuque's position and the disaffection of the three clubs that withdrew. Whether or not the Three I will be able to get its affairs patched up in time to begin playing ball when the season opens is a question of some doubt. 0 Iowa College, Grlnnell. won the state basket ball championship this week by winning from the state university five by a score better than two to one. The decisive victory leaves Grinnell the undisputed champion of the state. The game was played in the Iowa Col lege gymnasium. Jake Schaefer, champion 18-T balk line billiardist, successfully defended his title against the efforts of Willie Hoppe In Chicago, this w«ek, by beat ing the youngster by the score of 500 to 423. The victory of the "Wizard" was gained after a hard contest. In which brilliant play was the feature. This Is the last time Schs.efer will be seen in public in championship matches. He has definitely and finally announced that he will not again com pete. After thirty-five years of con tinuous championship matches Schae fer is entitled to retire.

New York Assembly to Pass Anti Gambling Measures. New York, March 13.—The assembly codes committee at Albany reported the anti-race track gambling bills, un-, amended, by a vote of 11 to 1. One of the bills repeals the Percy-Gray law, which premlts gambling on race tracks, and the other makes betting on horse races either on or oft a track a'mis demeanor, punishable by not more than one year's imprisonment. Mr. Keller of New York offered an amendment to put off tho enactment of the measure until Sept. 1, the same ms the senate codes committee amend ment, but this was voted down by 10 to 2. The bills reported are those of Sen ator Agnew, without the Sept. 1 amendment. The committee decided that both the Hart and Agnew bills sought to accomplish the same thing, and that the Agnew bills were In bet ter form. During the session the com mittee sent for Assemblyman Hart and asked him If he would consent to have the Agnew bills substituted for his. He said he had no objection. Lenders In the senate and assembly predict that the anti-race track bills will be passed by both houses in the shape In which they were sent to the committees. The restoration of the Agnew senate measure to Its original form Is assured, It Is declared, and Governor Hughes la Certain of a full victory. Hard On the Editor. Henry W. Savage, president of tho Association of Theatrical Producing Managers, was laughing in Now York over Bernard Shaw's opinion of lese majeste. Mr. Shaw, it will be remem bered, saild of the .recent imprisonment of edttor Markveldt -in Prussia for this: crime: "The sentence Is entlreOy .logical and correct. The law against majstatsbe leidtgung 4s founded on a well known and long-established dogma that the king is a divine person. iHerr Mark veldt, when he wrote as he did, was guilty not merely of majestatsbcleldl gung, but of blasphemy, and he may regard his escape from being burnt alive at the stake as nn ample fulfill ment of the promise of clemency made to the .reidhstag. It is useless to ask how the affair would stand In England. The English definitely decided In .the seventeenth century that a king Is a man. and the Im.pression made by the kaiser, during his recent vl»lt, tho' •highly agreeable, has not altered our I opinion In that respect." Mr. Savage said that Germany was a, •hard country for editors. "I know a German editor," he said— "he is an American ed.ltor now—who found himself one night when the pa-1 •per was about to go to press, without any editorials. What was he to do?j It was too late to write any himself too late to have any written. Like a flash an Inspiration came to him, and, dipping his pen, he wrote hurriedly: "After carefully reading the editor ials written for the morning issue by four of Hie ablest and most brilliant members of our staff, we have come to the conclusion that they might be mis interpreted by the authorities, and re garded as an attack on the govern ment. We ourselves consider them per fectly Innocent, but as we have no de sire to see our newspaper confiscated, we have very unwillingly, tho, as we ithlnk, prudently, resolved to withhold the articles in question. This .must serve as an apology to our readers for a blank editorial page. "Imagine this editor's shock when his secretary telephoned him the next morning that the paper .had been con fiscated. "'But—but on what ground?' the editor gasped. 'For malicious ridicule of the gov ernmental authorities 'by the omission of the editorials."' Given Up to Die. B. Spiegel, 1204 N. Virginia St., Ev ansville, Ind., writes: "For over five years I was troubled with kidney and bladder affections which caused me much pain and worry. I lost flesh and was all run down, and a year ago had to abandon work entirely. I had three of the best physicians who did me no good and I was practically given up to die. Foley's Kidney Cure was recommended and the first bottle gave me great relief, and after taking the second bottle I was entirely coured." Why not let it help you? McBride Will Drug Co.

Republican Senators to Succeed Themselves or Be Succeeded By Others CAPITAL INTERESTED IN IOWA Congressional Delegation Professes to Believe Factional Fight May Result in Democratic Legislature and a Democratic Senator—Hansborough Has a Bitter and Close Fight. (Special Washington Correspondence.) Washington, March 10—Eighteen re publican senators must submit their claims for re-election to legislatures that will be chosen this year. Most of them will either succeed themselves or be succeeded by other republicans, in all present likelihood. But It is said that not in many years have so many senators had serious opposition, In their own party, to their return. The list begins with the venerable Allison of Iowa. Iowa people say the factional fight In that state, which has been growing more bitter for a dozen yearn, has now reached the ex treme which seriously threatens plac ing the state In the democratic col umn. Last election Governor Cum mins won by only a little over 20,000, while tho state has gone republican In recent years by as much as 120,000. One of the shrewdest politicians In the Iowa delegation gave it as his honest judgment that the next senator from Iowa would be a democrat. He said whichever side won' in 'this year's fight, the other would knife the win ner and give the democrats the legis lature. Ankeny of Washington has strong opposition at home: so has Fulton of Oregon, In whoso case, again, the pos sibility of a democrat winning is re garded as serious, Governor Chamber lain being the likely man in such event. Senator Foraker's situation In Ohio Is so well known as to need only reference. The Churchill faction In New Hampshire Is actively on the trail of Senator Galllnger, trying to make a combination to down him, and It has th® support of the national adminis tration, which has been trying to use the natronage to help the Churchill crowd. Senator Hansbrough of North Da kota faces a bitter and close fight within his own party. He Is charged at home with being a corporation sen ator, tho curiously enough Washington has regarded him as decidedly of the progressive class, on his record here. KIttredge of South Dakota Is another man whose toga is sought by the chief executive of his state. Governor Craw ford Is making a great campaign of the state. He was nominated two years ago against the opposition of KItt redge, whose faction was overwhelm ingly defeated but In a fight to pre serve ills own seat KIttredge Is thought to be somewhat stronger than he was two years ago for the mere privilege of bossing the state. Chances are thought to be rather In favor of Gov ernor Crawford getting the seat. Senator Piatt of New York has said recently, when asked whether lie ex pected to be a candidate for another term, that he had not decided what he would do. However, there is no serious expectation that he will final ly be a factor In the Empire state sit uation. The polygamy question Is being re vived in Utah in a fashion, and with a vigor, which suggests that that state Is likely soon to develop Into something like a permanent condition of church and anti-church politics, with the republicans allied with the mormons. The opposition to Smoot Is gaining ground, according to recent reports, and republicans In the state are much worried. Many of them de clare that the senator ought either to resign from his position as an apostle of the Mormon church, or else to with draw himself from the senatorial fight. Apparently however, he pro poses to do neither, and the outlook for a renewal of the old church fight grows better week by week. Senator Stephenson of Wisconsin 13 expected to be a candidate for another term, tho his election last winter was supposed by his opponents to be simply for the unexpired part of Senator Spooner's term, two years. However, the Wisconsin man likes the business and his friends have gathered that he Is likely to run again. If he does he Is likely to win, as he would be strong er now than 'before, and no combina tion could be arranged to defeat him last year. Senator Long of Kansas has a fight on hand which is reported to be grow incr more determined month by month. Bill Stubbs. millionaire, politician and boss, is out for th«-place, and so is J. L. BrHstow. former assistant post master general. The fight on Long Is based on the charge that he has been too good a friend to the corporations, and Kansas doesn't like that sort of thing. Wh?n Minister Wu gets here from China, to interest the United States In heading off Japanese aggression in Manchuria, he will learn, much to his disgust, that the United States has been looking into that little matter on its own account, and has about decided that there's nothing that can be done about it. The "open door policy" as to China, it is explained, is simply a policy an attitude of mind. It Isn't guaranteed by a treaty, and no scheme for en forcing it has even been formulated and adopted among the nations. In fact, the state department author ities are of the opinion that Japan's aggressions in Manchuria do not vio late in any way the letter of the open door understanding. Rather, Japan is doing the very things that the open door idea makes possible for any enter prising nation to do that cares to take advantage of the opportunity, and is skillful enough to get the concessions. If American or English or German Interests wanted to go into Manchuria and compete with Japan, they would be at liberty do so. The difficulty la that Japan has been so prompt and imra-ll^xTblicnn ^^sirani^mit, goiua, lUaxxh 14 1908 determined In grasping the opportunity that she. has grasped all thero is of It. Even If the United States were dis posed to Insist on a better chunce for Americans In Manchuria, there would be no benefits because there is no Am erican trade there, nobody seems to care to develop any, and there are no American ships on the Pacific to carry sucli commerce. Japan is forcing com petition out of Manchuria, and more and more absorbing the trade of the rest of China, simply because she has pushed the opportunity and strength ened her position. But to root her out now, It is said must be a commercial rather than a diplomatic affair. A Foolish 8uperstitution. It Is said and believed that all the bluejays disappear every Friday, and not one can be seen until the next day, and this disappearance is account ed for by the statement that the birds are under a compact with Satan, and that they devote each Friday to deliv ering him a supply of sand for heating purposes, sand being one of the ingre dients that keeps his Immeasurable cauldron at the point of torture. But why should the blue-Jay be selected as sand-bearer to Satan, when there are so many birds of stronger and fleeter wing? There are many superstitions that have a reasoning basis, but this particular one has nothing whatever to go on. The origin of it lies in the fact that the blue-Jay Is a most par ticular home-builder he knows how to build his house, and he takes a great pride In It. He doesn'.t hang his nest to a limb, nor glue it to a tree. Instead, he selects a substantial fork or crotch of a limb, lays down ft f.iW twigs, of goodly size and strength, and on these .ie superimposes a strong foundation clay, with layers of pa pers between, and when his ne.-t is finished, it is as substantial in propor tion as on', of modern steel struj tiV.es.

Afterwards Mr. Knpling told a story about a smart man. "This man." he said, "owned a dry goods store, and one day to his great disgust, he .heard a new clerk say to a lady: 'No. madam, we have not had any for a long time.' "With a fierce glance ait the clerk, the smart employer rushed up to tho lady and suid: 'We have plenty in reserve, ma'am plenty upstairs.'

(Jefferson Bee) The farmers of Greene county have given a great deal of study and atten tion to the study of corn during the past .two years. The .matters of good seed, selected in timely and careful manner proper cultivation proper care, etc., have been discussed until It Is almost impossible to conceive of anything new to be said on the sub ject. But in all this ti.me we have never heard anything about the ques tion of better oats. Why not? Oats are second In value as a crop in this county. They come next to corn. The rotation Is always corn and oats, oats and corn. This year's corn ground Is nearly always next year's oats ground. Two-thirds as many acres are planted every year to oats as to corn. And yet oats are never Included In any scheme of Improvement or betterment. Shall the oats question be allowed to go by default in Iowa, as during the .pas* few years, or shall we rise .to a .proper appreciation and consider ation of the "second best" of our crops?

AND CARNEGIE BACK IT Smaller Schools to Bacoma "Junior Colleges" and Work of Highar School to Be Put on Broader Basis Plan Has Been Under Consideration far Ten Years. Minneapolis, March 12.—Minnesota has been selected to be the scene of a great educational experiment, backed by millions upon millions of dollars. A plan for the reorganization of the higher educational system of the coun try so comprehensive as to be almost revolutionary has been worked out by the General Education society. It has been broached to local educators and the preliminary steps to put It Into effect are already being taken. The society Is backed by the Rocke feller Foundation, amounting to 140, 000,000 by other millions already at Its command and its plan has the In dorsement of Andrew Carnegie, who has promised to give financial aid to such an extent as may be necessary. Should the plan as now conceived be carried out, half a decade will see the higher educational system of the United States on a new footing. It is the outgrowth of ten years' de liberate and painstaking work and study of the educational Institutions of the United States, during which no hint of this plan has ever before been published. The snbstance of the plan Is the uni fying of the courses of study In the denominational schools and colleges and making their curriculum end with what corresponds to the second year's work In the University of Minnesota. work in the University or Minnesota. The General Education society has made a searching study of the second ary or preparatory schools, the colleges and the universities of the country. The conclusion has been reached—and most of the prominent educators of the country are said to agree with It—that the universities should be relieved of the first two years of college work. The plan therefore proposes that the secondary schools of the first rank shall add to their present curriculum the first two years of college work and be come "junior colleges." The small de nominational schools will be advised to go no further with their teaching than the second year of college work. This will unify the schools which are now In two separate classes Into the one class of Junior colleges and give two uniform grades of institutions for high er education—the Junior colleges of fering studies ta the second year of college, work, and the universities, re lieved of the first two years of college jwork, devoting their attention to what 'are now the higher two years of college 'work and that which Is considered the proper work of the university—the I post-graduate. Broached to Three Colleges. This plan has been definitely taken up with Pillsbury academy and Macal ester college. It is suggested that Pills bury academy take the lead by add ling to Its present curriculum the first two years of college work. The Idea of dropping the last two years of their college work and devoting all their at tention to the work of the preceding year has been broached to Maealester and Hamllne, tho it Is believed to have been receive unfavorably by the lat ter Institution. Tn this way the universities will be re- out—that there were too many lleved of the preparatory work of their first two years and left free to devote all their efforts to the higher branches of study and post-graduate work. Dr. Wallace Buttrick, secretary of the General Educational society, was in Minnesota two weeks ago and dis cussed the plan with representatives of some of the Institutions of the state. Altho it has not been formally taken up with the board of regents of the University of Minnesota, It is believed to be looked upon with much favor by those of the faculty who have been In formed of It and who see the oppor tunity to relieve the state university of the first two years' work. It is urged In favor of the plan that It would not only relieve the universi ties of work which Is outside their propor sphere and allow them to devote all their abilities and resources to the last two years of the college course and to technical or post-graduate work, but it would greatly strengthen the smaller college, and would, by adding the first two years of college work to the curri culum of the academies of the first class, permit many students, who now end their education with the prepara tory schools, to get the first two years of college work and a better education than they now obtain.

What dealer? -\,t been at work for about ten years i'1 its analysis of the educational system of the country. It was originally or ganized for work In the south, where the educational Institutions are not on so htgh a standard as those of the north. Its field however, has been the wholo country. John D. Rockefeller established the Rockefeller Foundation with an endowment of $40,000,000 which Is handled by the society. Oth ers have brought the fund at the com mand of tha society up to fully $60, 000,000. The work of tha society has been largely confined to the study of the educational Institutions of the country and the collection of statistics hearing on Its researches. In the working of the plan It Is pro posed to give such aid as shall be deemed advisable to the preparatory schools In adding the two years' course to their curriculum and to use the vast financial resources of the society to placing the schools which enter Into the plan on sound financial bases." Two Lagal Ones. Senator Galllnger, .lunching In the senate restaurant, saAd of a new?, and unsophisticated young offlceseekSr: "He reminds me of a witness 4n a damage suit in Newport.

Mercer of Ohio state uni versity Impressed the world with his dec,arftMon that dol]arB made doctors cut—that there were too many surgeons who, for tha sake of large fees, operated when operations might be perhaps avoided. "Dr. Mercer," said a Columbus phy sician, "has done much good with this pronouncement of his. He has made many a surgeon more sparing of the knife. "I remember, Just after he had spoken, the varsity students cheered him with our sonorous college cheer 'Wahoo, Wahoo, Rip, Zip, Baaoo! I yell, I yell, for O. S. U.—Mercer.!' "Then, apropos of his dictum that dollars made doctors cut, Dr. Mercer told the students how a young surgeon had once shown him over an eastern hospital, and in the end had said: 'Which do you consider the most dangerous of our cases here, Dr. Mer cer?' "'That sir,' was the reply. "And Dr. Mercer pointed slgnlfl mntly toward a case of glittering sur gical Instruments." Consuming Consumption even in its most insidi ous form is not always incurable. The first intelligent step in the treatment of the dis ease is to stop the violent paroxysms of coughing which tear the lungs and enfeeble the system. Piso's Cure has permanently cured many consump tive coughs, as shown by court testimony because its antiseptic, healing and soothing qualities act directly on the lungs and bron chial passages, stop ping the coughing and gently healing the lac* crated tissues. Even the most advanced consumptive coughs have responded quick-' ly to Piso's Cure, which being absolutely free from opiates or habit-forming drugs is the ideal remedy for every form of coughs, colds, bronchitis in young and old.

An audience of 400 was in attend ance ft the meeting at the Methodjst. churcli last night. A special feature of the song service was the singing of the "Sunbeam Chorus," composed of children of the Sunday school, directed by'Mr. 'Jllmore. Dr. Buckrier -preached on the text', "Create in Me a Clean Heart, O, God." A clean heart is the one vastly important thing Men may be brave hearted, tender hearted "good hearted," and yet not be pure hearted. Chlrst's supreme emphasis was on the difference between external purity and heart cleanness. The rich young rules had lived a life of outward obedience, but his heart was unclean. Pilate washed his hands, but there were scar let stains on his guilty soul. The relig ous leaders of the time were, in Christ's own words, whited sepulchres, out wardly fair,,but inwardly full -of dead mens* bones. The accusers of the fallen woman who demanded that she be stoned were themselves models of out ward propriety, but the Master's quiet words, "Let him that is without sin cast the first stone" caused them to slink away. Remember, God'e search light Is ever turned in. The preacher pointed out various conditions of heart uneleanness, as murderous hate, envy, malice, jealousy and selfishness which is the root of all. Who should have clean hearts? It was a king who said, "Create in me a clean heart," and the •speal.ter Inferred, therefore, that our rulers should have clean hearts, from the president down to the humblect municipal officer. Clean hearted rulers will make for a clean nation. They might not get so many votes, under present conditions, but they would If there were more clean hearted voters. Business men should have clean hearts. They might not make so much money. God give us a generation of clean hearted business men. Among others named in the list were teachers, fathers, mothers and preachers. The meetings will continue tonight and Sunday. Dr. Bucltner will preach in the morning on "The Importance of, and Difficulties in, the Building of the Wall," and in the evening on "Sin." There will be chorus sinking at both Sunday services. Thorns and Orange Blossoms. The play is one of intense interest rounding out a series oi actual life pictures of tremendous reality, appeal ing to all ages and all classes—a story that once known will never be for gotten. In brief, the drama tells of a young, winsome English girl, whose parentage, tho somewhat obscure, lays claim to the distinctive gentility found in the middle classes of Ilngland. She has an inborn contempt for the sham, •mockery, indolence and worthlessness of that certain class masquerading under the title of nobility, and it hap pens that a young lord, a chap with ar tistic temperament and lofty senti ments falls in love with the maiden, and knowing that his suit would be hopeless were she to know his true station, he poses as a struggling young artist. Wedlock follows, and for a short period the couple are supremely happy. The marriage is kept a secret from the young man's mot ner, a super cilious, cruel and avaricious woman, who learns of the wedding thru a worthless young scion of a neighboring royalty. An intrigue is set on foot by the mother and she enlists the services of informant by. holding out the promise of her Influence in securing a much coveted degree of knighthood. And then is unfolded one of the clev erest schemes ever taken from life or a playwright's pen, the actio 's swift, dramatic, and of intense lnt st. The wife is led to believe that her usband has tired of her and seeks a .ration, -Si.-K.J.r I and on the other hand the young man is shown apparent proof of the young woman's infidelity. He orders her from the house. The succeeding incidents of the story are closely woven with pathos, comedy and strong heart Inter est. At the Odeon theater Eunday night, March 15.

Hood Has Something to Say to the Berry Growers Which Will Be of Interest to Them. For years past the wise housewife ha.s waited until the strawberry mar ket has become glutted and the mer chant forced to take what he can get, before she puts up her strawberries for the winter. This has been fine for her but pretty tough for the grower. Mr. Hood, being in the wholesale fruit business, and being in touch with the market all over*1 the country, saw that while we had ryiore strawberries here than the local demand would con sume, there were markets which were not getting strawberries enough. Here he saw an opportunity'to do some bus iness, and at the same time do the berry grower a real service. He bought from the local growers and shipped out the first car of strawber ries that was shipped from Marshalitown. This had the effect of maintaining the price on the local market, when otherwise the bottom would have dropped out. The growers hud a little experience in this after Mr. Hood was out of the market. This year Mr. Hood has figured on a large Increase In the shipping of straw berries to the other markets, and' knowing that there will be a larger de mand for berry box lumber, has pur chased a large car of II berry boxes and crates. This will be of great con venience to his customers as they ^an get taeir boxes where they sell v.heir berries Inis will bring the grower in constant touch with the shipper, which will be of immense benifi: to I'pth" If you are fcoing to have any bcrrlos sell tliU car, it will pay vou to see Vr I lord before you make any ei rangements for your berry box lumber. MRS. STANLEY-JAY DEAD. Mrs. Jay was a daughter of Amos Stanley, for whom Stanley's mill, west of Albion, was named. After Mr. Stanley's death, in the latter 80s, she married, in 1900, Samuel Jay, father of Dr. E. W. Jay, of this city. Mr. Jay survives her. Mrs. Jay was a daughter of Ames and Rebecca Marsh, who were among the pioneers of the county, having come to Marietta in 1854. The daugh ter Edith was born in Columbiana county, Ohio, in November, 1841, and married Mr. Stanley at Marietta in September, 1863. Four years ago Mr. and Mrs. Jay went to Salem, where they 'have since made their home. Mrs. Jay bad no children of her own, but was a good mother to three who were left orphans in youth. She reared as her own George MoCombs, of this city Toby H-of, of Minerva, and Mrs. Mary Cripps Van Horn, of Albion, and all have looked upon her as a mother. •Mrs. Jay was a first cousin Of W. T.

Timefi-IUjxwIiIton, ^rshalKjaxtm Interesting Feature to Be In augurated in Public School Work MORE ATTENTION TO STUDY Superintendent Palmer Believes Sub­ ject Has Not Been Given Proper At­ tention in Schools, and Has Plan to Stimulate Interest—Matches Are Ar­ ranged. Superintendent Palmer is a believer in the old "blue backed spellin' book."' He considers the subject of spelling an Important one, and thinks that it has not been given sufficient tinio in pub lic school work. He has a plan to Stimulate interest in spelling, and is arranging for a series of matches in which school spirt will be a further Incentive to thoroughness. Mr. Palmer has had spelling taught more thoroughly since he took charge of the schools, and the interest has al ready been awakened by Friday after noon contests In the different rooms. Excellent results have already been shown. To further the interest Mr. Palmer is arranging for public contests to be held in the auditorium of the manual training building. The first one will be for sixth grade pupils of the different wards, and will likely be held some time next week. The second will for seventh grade pupils. The work will also be carried into the high school. In order to make the interest as keen as possible cash prizes will be given, the sum of $12 being divided among the winners of each contest. The prise Idea, and the fact that the contests will be among the different ward build ings, already assure a deep interest in the work. The prize money will be raised by a 10-cent admission fee ti the contests. Mr. Palmer has furnished fdr the contests a certain number of words that may be studied. On these the contestants may prepare themselves. Another list, however, words that they should know how to spell but which are not indicated for preparation, will also be pronounced to the pupils. Those who are to, take part in the Initial contest are working hard over their list for preparation, and a great deal of interest is being shown Local Comment If there is any virtue in signs, spring 'has come to stay. Frogs have left their secluded quarters to bask in the sunlight. The fish are running upstream seeking desirable locations' for the spawning season. The robin meadows resound with the mprry songs of the yellow-throated Iarkit Even the pretty little bluebird, con sldered the surest harbinger of spring,' is with us. While March is treacher ous some of the wise ones, who have forecast the weather for a half cen tury, firmly believe spring is here. Apathy shown by cow owners in the recent milk inspection ordinance does not speak well for law abiding senti ment. Those who have delayed making application for inspection have had all the opportunity they need in which to argue the merits of their case and have been given a respectful hearing. 'The ordinance is in farce, in fact has been for weeks, and still there are people who delay in obeying it. With the terrible effects of infected milk apparent, the mayor ought not to toe forced to threaten arrest of delin quents. Almost daily the press tells of some terrible condition that* has been discovered by inspection. At Kan kakee, '111., this week in a state institu tion, where children were fed with milk from a herd of 150 cows, and nearly all of them thoroughbreds Jer seys, 100 of the entire number were condemned upon inspection for tuber culosis. Jl •vSTr1," -A i. Publication in the T.-R. of a man's distress in finding a house in Mar shalitown in which to live has demon strated the need of more wide-awake advertising on the part of local real estate men. When the T.-R. 'donated the publicity and the man was about to leave town a real estate agent got after him with a house for his accom modation. Incidentally the gentleman received two letters from Waterloo, telling him to come to Waterloo and they would fit him out with a house. Marshalitown real estate men should list their properties and keep them listed, they should prepare literature boosting the town and circulate it for their own benefit. Live real estate advertising would do the town as much good as a new factory, in fact it could bring more new families to town than any one factory would employ. Jl There are other men, and many of them, who are hunting the houses they can not find. There has never been a time in the history of the city when the Times-Republican has re ceived so many complaints from peo ple who can't find houses to rent in Marshalitown. Our traveling men say that they know of fifty men with fam ilies who would move here if they could find houses. J* Strange as it may appear the preach ers are not all agreed as to the wis dom of inviting Billy Sunday to de scend upon the town. Some are actu ally opposed, and several of the lead ing ministers assume positions of neu trality and doubt. The question seems to be as to the permanency of benefit from the furore and turmoil^which six weeks of Biliy Sunday can- -be de pended upon to produce. Tbe commo- torn tion and excitement and turbulent feel ings, and the $5,000 or $6,000 which "Killv" will get might be a fair price If the benefits were worth the cost, however much good is known to come from his work, and while most of the preachers doubt the good of his com ing, only a few will openly oppose the Invitation. This newspaper will not join in the invitation, but if he should come at the invitation of any consid erable number of people, he will be given Iriendlv publicity in the. hopes that he is a worthy evangel. The city in appealing the paving case, evidently sees corner lot owners on all sides of it and knows not whith er to turn. The appealers will also ap peal in the hope of securing a favora ble decision as to non-compliance. It" the supreme court should sustain Judge Bradshaw. the city had better settle with the corner lot owners and quit. His decision bears directly upon the question of special benefits and a decision from the supreme court would serve as valuable instruction in all fu ture paving. St. Patrick Masquerade.

Do Hair No Good, But Often Cause It to Fall Out. Many hair preparations are "fake" because they are merely scalp irritants. They often cause dryness, making the hair brittle, and, finally, lifeless. Dan druff is the cause of all trouble with hair. It is a germ disease. The germ makes cuticle scales as it digs to the root of the hair, where it destroys the hair's vitality, causing it to fall out. To cure dandruff, the germ must be killed. "Destroy the cause, you remove the ef fect." Newbro's Herpicide is the only hair preparation that kills the dandruff germ, thereby leaving the hair grow luxuriantly. Sold by leading druggists.

Better Class of Steers About Ten Higher Than Last Satimlav HOGS 5 TO 10 HIGHER Shipping Demand in That Market Was Large Today, and Packers Also Pur­ chased Freely Present Price Lev­ els for Sheep and Lambs Are the t-nghest of the Season. Chicago, March 14.—Cattle were nominally steady. Prices closed it lit tle higher than last Saturday, and the better class of steers were about ten higher. 'J'iie quality of the cattle coining t' market now is not nearly as good as it was curly in the year. Lots of shor: fed steers, decidedly lacking in finis! were included in the receipts thi week, but the strong demand mad them sell remarkably well. In fad the light steers of scarcely medfun quality have shown more improve ment in the past two weeks than tin.' really choice steers. Shippers have been buying with re markable freedom. They are taking practically half the receipts at the present time, which is unusual. Ex porters were active operators all week and bought a good many steers, tho prices across the water are not very satisfactory. The week's receipts total a little more than 53,000 head, which is the same as last week, and it,000 less than a year ago. Hogs. Hogs were 5ft/10 higher on large shipping! demand. Packers also pur chased freely. Shippers have taken about' 60,000 hogs this week, and demand from out side sources is considerably heavier than a year ago. March shipments to date are about 14,000 heavier than dur ing the corresponding week of 1907. As long as shipping demand continues on this broad scale, packers' efforts to depress the market will be in vain. They are talking bearish, however, and evidently feel that way. Their esti mate is that the March, April and May run at the principal point will exceed that of 1907 by 10 per cent. Sheep. Sheep were strong, and prices were a shade higher for both sheep and lambs. The present price levels are the highest of the season. The week's run is around 55,000, or a few less than last week, but the March supply to date Is 6,000 more than a year ago. This week's market has been a continuance of that of last week, prices constantly seeking a high er level, and the 7'^c lamb is already in sight. Eastern markets have been bare this week and local killers have been compelled to go to the supply, while shippers and ex'porters have been contenders. Lambs are up 25c for tlv week, while in many places sheep show a gain of half-a-dollar. Chicago Livestock. Chicago, March 14.

Local traders were a little disap pointed with the condition of the mar ket this week for the outside demand was not as strong as thev expected it would be. During the first part of the week buvers were scarce and tlie demand indifferent, but later it braced up a little, and values now are prac tical^' the same as a week ago. Good to choice feeders were inquired for all the time, and local buyers had more orders for such tattle than they could fill. Several loads of choice steers were sold up to $4.854.90, but the competition was so keen from killers that It was hard to get the weight desired- Most of the week's supply consisted of medium wt-ight. cattle. 600 to 750 pounds, which sold at $3.75 fr4.r0 4' Huvim's were more particular about (|italit than w-ig!it. tho lieavv steers were bv far the mot Hair Help your doctor will Id!you jusl why tee use sulphur, glyctrin, etc., etc., in n.,, Aver'» Hair Vigor.

The advance In the fat cat* tie market during the past two weeks lias awakened a keener interest in the market for the desirable feeders.

The bulk of the week's .business was done at $4@4.60. with comparatively few light stockers below $3.50. Milkers and Springers. There has been a pretty good de mand for milkers and springers this week, and sellers were fairly well pleased with the prices they received. As the weather gels warmer and the pasture season approaches, the de m-ami is likely to improve. Good •strong milkers and forward springers sold Strong to a little higher during the week, and oven the low grades went with more freedom, on account of 'the better prices for canners. Sales .luring the week ranged from $25 0i the bulk of the business, being done at $35@45. Canners and Cutters. Oanners and cutters were sold on a etter level.

Congress of Mothers Told ol Dangers to Children in Milk and Meats TUBERCULOSIS AND SANITATION Uusamtary Conditions of Dairies Largely Responsible For Spread of Disease—Boycott of Bad Food Urged —Pasteurizing Held to be Poor Rem­ edy. Washington, March 14,—A union of mothers, national in scope, and a boy cott of all food products not absolute ly pure, were advocated by Dr. Harvey Wiley, government chemist, before t.he congress of mothers. This league, he said, would do more to wipe out the dangers to children than all pure food laws, no matter how rigidly they are enforced. If the mothers should refuse to purchase any tainted foodstuffs, he said, the manu facturers soon would cease their mak ing. He added there should be a cry against the mixing of certain substan ces with foods to make them palat able. Dr. Wiley called attention to the great Importance of purity in such ar ticles as butter, maple syrup, honey, and particularly of all dairy supplies. Alice Lakey, chairman of the food committee of the National Consumers' league, told of the dangers lurking in impure meats and milk. She quoted statistics to show that one-third of the children dieJbefore they are 3 years old and that the greatest cause for this gigantic mortality percentage was impure milk. She added: "Goler says that most babies become sick because infected by the poisons and bacteria of unclean stables. He proved his theory in Rochester. In six years he reduced the death rate 65 per cent for children under 5 year# of age and 58 per •cent for children un der 1 year simply by supplying them with pure milk obtained from cows that were housed in sanitary stables." The great scourge of tuberculosis was blamed in a large degree •upon the impure milk fed to Infants. This disease, tho speaker added, causes the death of 5,000,000 persons in a single year and is on the increase where cow's milk is used as the food for in fants. It is the largest where the laws providing inspection and snniltary guards are lax. The following statis tics were quoted: "Russia's death rate for infants ex ceeds in some districts 500 to the 1.000 births. Germany's rato is second. France is third, and it about equals the rate for New Jersey. 167.4 per 1,000. New York state's rate Is even lower, 159 8. The District of Columbia's goes up to 274.5. while Michigan's is the lowest of all, 121.3." Pasteurizing Held Poor Remedy. Then she gave a warning to the mothers. The easiest test was explained as follows: "Is there a sediment after two hours at the bottom of the bottle of milk left for your child? Throw away the milk if there is. Here is one cause of this appalling loss of life. It is the in fected dirt in the milk." In regard to pasteurizing milk, fhe method used in many states at present, she said: "Pasteurizing dirty milk Is merely cooking the dirt, not preventing it. The food committee of the National Con sumers' league asks you to co-operato with them and form state food com mittees of the Consumers' league, to work for the sanitary production of milk on the lines hrst laid down by Dr. Colt in 1892 and known as certified milk The plan includes medical milk commissions, in every state, whereby what is known as "certified milk" may he produced. If it is not possible in the city or town where you live to secure either "certified" or "inspected" milk, then by all means pasteurize the milk. That is, cook the dirt in it, only cook it thoroughly, so as to kill the disease germs. After it lias been cooked cool It at once, keep it cool, and use •within twenty-four hours. Pasteurized milk offers a fertile field for the growth of harmful bacteria." Small Packing House Evils. The speaker then turned to the dan gers in tuberculosis meat. In this con nection she said: "Visit any small slaughter house ana see the diseased cattle that are brought to he shambles. Moore states that there are about 2.770.000 cattle in New York state, all more or less affected with tuberculosis. Many of these will be killed for food. He tested 364 herds for tuberculosis: 72.S per cent, were In fected As more and more cattle are rejected as dair.v cows, because they are found to be tubercular, more and more or them will be turned into the slaughter houses. But does not cook ing kill the disease germ? "The royal commission on tubercu­ Ice For Sale! for immediate or future delivery. LIFE INSURANCE. F. H. HOUGHTON, losis reported in 1895: 'Ordinary pro cesses of cooking would not avail to render wholesome any piece of meat that contained tubercular matter in its deeper parts.' If cooking does not render meat safe, what about the chopped beef eaten raw? Children fed on raw meat by the doctor's orders are in many cases simply having tubercle bacilli fed to them." The small percentage of sufferers with tuberculosis among the Jews, only 50 per cent of that among other races, was ascribed to their sanitary laws, which demand that all meats shall be thoroughly cooked. The unhealthy conditions in the smaller packing houses and the ineffec t.ivene.is of the laws as applied to in terstate oonnnerce were described. The meat of diseased animals, she said, was shipped into Xew York city and sold in the slums even after the cows have been condemned by the milk inspec tors as tubercular. They are slain and their bodies consumed by the poor, she added. Clifford W. Barnes, of Chicago, ex ecutive chairman of the international committee on moral training, ad dressed the meeting on the needs of a high class school system. Notice to Our Customers.
