At the same time the people will rise

The shop, however, has always been

TACTICS AND BAD MEAT.


The crusade of DIR. Scroggs of the
state board of health, against un-
healthy food in keokuk is as valorous
as any crusade for the tomb made in
the middle ages. The best part of it is,
that DIR. Scroggs believes that duty,
like charity. begins at home; and he is
doing his full duty by his home city.
The trouble from the beginning of
the world has been to get the people
to do their duty by themselves. The
member of the state board of health
says that much dangerous meat is be-
ing sold in Keokuk and that the butch
ers and meat merchants themselves de-
sire stringent inspection of all meat
before it Is allowed to be offered for
sale. There is hope in that Eight
meat merchants can do more to get the
council to pass an inspection ordinance
than eight hundred other people can
accomplish. II Is not question of
what ought to be done; it is a question
OF what can be accomplished. Diph-
iberia, scarlet fever, and the other
communicable diseases can be kept
down to the infrequency of smallpox
and. cholera by literal compliance
with the regulations OF the state al
ready in force. But the people do not
obey them fully because they do not
realize their Importance. The people
want to do right, but it is as difficult
to take all the pains required in abso-
lutte disinfection and quarantine. as 1t
is difficult to keep from lying in horse
trade.
DIR. Scroggs is reported to have said
at the meeting at which he made his
talk on food in Keokuk. that the peo-
pie should rise in their might and de-
1nand food inspection. They undoubt-
eddy should; and they undoubtedly
won't. But there are TWO practical
routes to the desired goal. One is. the
frequent repetition of statements--al-
ways sticking to the truth--like those
OF Dr. Scroggs. in public and In private,
by the medical profession; that Will
after awhile educate the people to a
realization of what they should have.
The other is, petition from the meat
dealers of Keokuk to the council ask
ing for the passage of an inspection
ordinance; this backed by the medical
profession and the people who pay at
tention to such things Is the quickest
( way to obtain what Is desired.
Aldermen constantly look after bust
ness interests better than other less
concrete interests. and are loath to put
restrictions on trade, but II the meal
dealers themselves ask for a restriction

able that any council would grant tn,

AN oLD-r1ME BICYCLE.
ICharles CITY Press.l


In the yard of L. b. Winslow there

over $50 years ago, In the embodiment
of an old bicycle made almost entirely
of wood. In comparison with Ned
Bradley or George Norris scorching
along on their highly perfected racers
L.. B. would cut a pretty dash propel-
ling this wheelbarrowlike vehicle Of
repulsion. The wheels are of wood
entirely. there is no gear, no tires ex-
cept wooden ones, no ellptfcal shrocket.
no prop, no handle-bars. no bell,
no lamp, no pedrometer, no mounting
step nor any of the marks or embellish-
ments that go to make the wheel of to-
day thing of beauty and joy to the

out springs lengthwise of the back
bone of the "critter' is about the only
real" thing that suggests man might
ride it. Even the pedal shafts are
wooden Mr.. Winslow is authority for
the statement that such a bicycle
might do all right to ride down hill
but he wouldn't warrant it would be
unlike the Chinaman's description of
tobogganing. The bicycle, If that is
what it may be termed in these latter
days. is kept merely as a relic of an
tiquity.
