the people and the prisoners. Men are
in prison pursuant to law dictated by
the need of public security and safety

this standpoint, the treatment of the
latter and whether it should be punt
tive or reformative must be considered.
Also whether harshness or Kindness is
the better for the Joint relation of peo-
pie and convicts. 1t is only incidentally
that economic considerations must have
employment. If they were outside of
prison they would be at work and no
one would think it i'll for the public
welfare that they should be. No sane
person holds that idleness and useless
ness are better than industry and use

"REsT.. NOT LABOR. DAY.

Labor Day was scarcely noticed as a
holiday in many sections of Iowa, not
withstanding Governor Shaw's recon-
mendation that it "be set apart and OBJ
served" appropriately and that "facto-
ries, stores and other places operated
by employed labor be closed as far as
practicable" 1t is from no want of re-
spect for the governor nor is it disre-.
spect for the day that workingmen and
others refer to it as Labor Day, a day
when we labor" Like all other events
in the calendar, it is necessary to work
up an interest in Labor Day in order to
bring about a general Observance of
the holiday But no one is especially
entrusted with this duty and therefore
1T 10 nobodys business. The American
people are charged with being so in
fused with the spirit OF commercialism
that they do not know how to rest
gracefully, and there is much truth in
the accusation. However, they are apt
learners and it may be in time they
will be willing to knock off, when the
governor gives the cue. They certainly
will if the era of prosperity gives them
funds for more leisure. But why call
the holiday labor day? Why not
amend it by clubbing it rest day and
invite all classes to join heartily in its
observance?

SOUND STOCK MARKET.

There has been little change in the
stock market since last weeks report
As observed by Henry Clews some hesi-
tation has been produced by the unset
ting effect of the Transvaal difficulties
upon the London market; but as the
best opinion inclines to the belief that
there will be no war; no serious injury
to confidence has followed The New
foreign affairs and must always remain
SO in these days of close commercial
and financial inlerdependence, yet We're
war to happen between England and
the Transvaal it would find this country
far better able to take care of its
finances than usual; and no one antici-
pates that any food of American Sc
curities could be returned to US for the
simple reason that the available supply
over there as been so greatly reduced
by Shipments to the United States dur
ing the last two or three years.
The general tone of the market is
good. Confidence IN a broader and
more active market during the autumn
is almost universal. This of course is
based upon the extraordinary wave of
prosperity which extends over the
whole country, and which as yet shows
no signs of having spent its force This
of course tends to hold stocks at firm
prices.
Whatever may be the conditions, the
west is not worrying over the prices OF
stocks, as business is bouyant and this
part of the country is able to take care
of itself and contribute its full share in
holding up eastern interests.

THE TEACHERS WORK.

such have opportunities for the up

We trust the teachers will realize their

their scholars is "a living epistle known

ODDITIES OF POISONING.
Some May Eat with Impunity Certain
Foods Which Are Rank POisOns
TO Others

The constitutional differences and
pecullaritets which exist among individuals
should always be carefully watched and
considered. One person can handle poison
ivy with impunity while another is poison
ed if only in the vicinity of the vine and
without contact. Some members of a
family residing in a malarial district Will
suffer regularly with chills and fever
while other members viii not be at all
affected.
Food that Is actually poisonous to some
persons, will not act so on others. One
person may eat all kinds of green fruit
and vegetables with impunity, while
another person can do so only at the
risk of life Certain kinds of fish are
actually poisonous to some people and
perfectly wholesome to others.
L is this peculiar condition of the system
which constitutes the danger point in the
individual case and should be prudently
observed by each one for himself Intes-
final arrangements frequently arise from
and are aggravated by certain kinds OF
food. Thus a person affected with kid
ney or liver troubles should not eat very
white bread since the extreme whiteness
is often produced by the use Of alum with
an inferior article Of -four, and as alum
is known TO be poisonous in it's effects on
a sound constitutN, this is why alum
baking powder is never used by people Of
judgment and discretion.
More of earthly happiness depends upon
what we eat than many people realize and
it IS for this reason that the different
states are one by one passing pure-food
laws
