The Steam
laundry

is good deal different from the
laundry Of ten or five or even two
years ago. Methods that used to
be the best in use are now discarded
and the consequence is that new
and improved machinery has done
away very largely with the wear
and tear of clothes, the cracking
and blistering of linen and other
familiar annoyances. The modern
laundry Is q place where linen is
treated as linen; where the utmost
care is taken in every detail Of its
treatment, and where the patron is
assured that his work will be as
carefully looked after as if it were
in'the hands OF his wife. That's tho
kind Of laundry we are running,
and we would call your attention to
some Of the improved machinery
we have been adding to our plant,
making us more confident than ever
that we can do your work to your
taste, no matter how particular you
may be. First you should see

What does law amount to? There is
a very severe Federal law against the
formation of trusts, but since the law
was adopted more trusts have been
formed than ever before. They are
formed openly. No one disputes their
existence. Whose business is it to pro-
ceed against them? During the next
campaign it will be charged that the
present administration favored trusts.
1t is certain that an unusually large
number have been formed during the

Sugar Production in 1o,ue

There is an article under the above
caption on the first page, from the pen
OF Q. F. Curtis, Director of the Iowa
experiment Station, which we have
watched for and expected for some time
past.
There are abundant reasons for be-
llevlng that good corn land is good SUI
gar beet land, especially the northern
portion OF the corn belt. Mr.. Curtis
thinks that sugar can be profitably pro-
auced IN the northern two-thirds of the
state, and specially mentions Dubuque,
Waterloo, Mason City and other places
near the same isothermal line, where
favorable results have been attained.
Whlle Delaware county is not special
~ mentioned, Delaware county can
snow figures on actual tests much ahead
Oh any results Mr.. Curtis has been able
10 obtain on his experiment station
grounds. In his article he gives four
tests IRON twenty plats on the station
grounds, on different dates, and it is
la1r to assume that they represent the
oest showing he is able to make. These
lour tests show an average OF 1880 per
cent OF sugar, of 1898 per cent. purity.
we give below the result OF an analy-
Sis OF a sample of beets raised by Mr..
