accepted by McGovern. McGovern

PURE MILK ASSURED.
Cleanliness Planned According 10
Board of Health Suggrstions.

The Board of Health has made clear to
the public the danger TO health that lies
in impure milk, and there has been re-
ported to Congress bill compelling
dairyrnen TO surround their cows with
sanitary conditions and to subject all
milk TO an approved process by which its
cleanliness and prity are absolutely as
sured.
Senator William NJ Stewart is among
those deeply interested In this subject.
but will not wait for legislation on a
matter of such vital and immediate i'm
portance.
The Senator has accepted the presi-
dency of a company organized TO furnish
pure milk to Washington and is bending
his energies TO a practical realization OF
the Board of Health's plans.
He is extensively quoted. and the milk

Steady and consistent bowling has

AS the team bowls now It looks like

is well balanced. and with Eenrv Laue
and Spiess back in the k8me. it should win
two out of every set scheduled for it.
Henry Laue's return to the game has
materially strengthened the team. al
though his totals in the last set were not
large. He is good man to have around
when strikes are needed. Spess is an
other good man to have back in the team.
He has only bowled in six games, but he
has all OF his old-time form.

Scheuerman. Eckstein. Ray, and JoTss are

LONDON COSTERS.
Itinerant Street vencsrH Who Make
Fairly Good Incomes.

1t is difficult, il not impossible, to cal
culate with any degree Of accuracy the
amount Of money turned over collectively
In the course of year by the costers, but
interesting figures may be supplied by
placing on record the gross receipts Of
some street traders.
Many will be surprised TO learn that
coster in the fruit or vegetable line will
make n turnover OF anything between is
and f12 per week, full third Of this be-
ing profit. The figures vary much, nat
urally, with the season Of the year and
the state OF the markets, but he is reck-
oned q poor fruit coster who cannot
make an average Of f. los. to f3 weekly
profit. Despite this income, which many
a clerk would envy, tales OF distress are
frequent among them, owing to their uni
yersal improvidence. Fish Is not so profit
able line Of business, partly owing to
the more perishable nature OF the stock,
and a fish coster who Is q "t2 man" aft
er reckoning up on Saturday night has
no cause to grumble at his weeks work.
The profits OF venders of penny toys,
puzzles and other articles so familiar in
the Strand and elsewhere vary according
to their cost, which ranges from 4d. to
I'd. per dozen. A pound to 25s. is reck-
oned a good weekly earning, but during
the recent button craze energetic workers
had no difficulty In clearing double this
amount in some instances.
The gutter oilcloth merchant calculates
upon profit OF Cd. to Is. piece, accord
Ing to size, and can dispose of 40 or so
pieces In the course of Saturday even
ing alone, to say nothing of Stacker busi-
ness done during the rest Of the week. A
street bookseller recently admitted that
he had "never cleared less than f
week." and on further inquiry that does
not appear to be much above the aver
age. The proprietors of those miscella-
neous stands to be found chiefly In the
East End. where everything from violin
bow to a saucepan lid may be purchased,
have difficulty In telling their profits,
as, owing to the nature Of their stock,
some things sell rapidly while other ar
ticles lie on hand for months. That there
Is money to be made at this trade is evil
dent from the fact that many of its fol-
lowers are pointed out by their less fortu-
nate brethren as being the owners Of the
houses in which they live.-London Mail.

IOWA ROADS IN SPRING.
Mud Causes Great Inconvenience
and Loss to Farmers.

Mud Causes Great Inconvenience
and Loss to Farmers.
Business In most of the country
towns in Iowa during this spring has
been at a standstill on account Of the
almost unprecedented bad condition OF
the roads. Not since the great flood in
the spring of 1892 has there been as
much water In Iowa as there Is this
spring 1t is a serious and dangerous
undertaking for a farmer to start to
town with an empty wagon, and to
haul n load is out Of the question.
They either 60 on horseback or on foot
when 1t is absolutely necessary to go
to the postoffice or on some other er-
rand to the nearest town.
The three snowstorms IN the month
Of March added very much to the mois-
ture that was already in the ground
and that failed to soak in because of
the frost. When this snow melted, 1t
washed out many culverts and made
dangerous places in the roads. In
some parts Of northern Iowa, where
the soil is thick and sticky, the mud
clogged upon the wheels SO that they
could not turn, and whoever started
out to drive with any sort OF vehicle
usually carried a spade or an AK with
which to dig the mud off. Big heaps
Of it may be seen alongside Of the road
where people have stopped to unload
their wagons.
Nearly every line of business has
felt the effects Of these conditions.
Farmers could bring nothing to town
to sell, and they did not come to buy.
If they happened to be out Of coal,
they either burned cobs or cut down a
few trees or burned up some old posts.
In many parts of the state all sorts Of
farm work has been suspended be-
cause the fields are covered with water
and are almost impossible, even by a
man on foot The streams and ponds
are filed as they have rarely been,
promising unusual plentifulness OF
game during the spring and fall.

ty as private house with flower and
shade tree lawn about it. 1t has at
tended to the beautifying of public
parks and walks, to the cleaning and
paving of the streets and the drainage
and general sanitation of the whole
place. Wherever In the vicinity there
was natural scenery of an attractive
character those women had 1t preserved
and cared for. They divided themselves
into committees, each one taking par
ticular work to itself and attending to
that. The farms about the village have
caught the impetus and are cutting
away the weeds from their fence lines
and removing the pigSties from their
front door ViStaS. The earth is becOm-
ing a thing of beauty for miles around
where these blessed women live. They
have created public sentiment for bet
ter things.
There is a women's Improvement
club In the far south, at Lake Charles,
near New Orleans. Here IS ladies took
on themselves the task of redeeming
the rural aspects. They planted splen-
did live oak trees along driyeways;
they placed Towering shrubs along
park walks. Attached to their village,
as there is to most country places. was
an abandoned cemetery, with its sank
weeds, sunken graves and broken
tombstones, a dank, nightmare spot,
suggestive Of suicide and ghost riding.
The women had hard task with that
one which tried all their powers
but they reconstructed the frightful old
place, and they see that 1t is kept in
order.
They turned their attention to the
schoolhouses. They cleared up the
grounds about them, planted trees and
made the grass grow and taught the
young ones to take pride In having a
beautiful lawn around the building
outside and artistic wall and other
decorations inside. Besides that they
obtained by subscriptions some valua-
BILE books for the public school libra
ries.
1t Is well usually to have men as
members Of these village improvement
societies, to assist with their expert
ence and money. But the business
work of the organizations must in
nearly every case be done by women.
because men cannot spare the time for
It.
Whether farm life and village life
shall be made attractive depends on
the country women. If they do what
is In their power, they can SO improve
and beautify the landscape as to raise
the price OF real estate in their neigh
borhoods. What is more, they can pre-
vent to some extent the deplorable ex-
odus of young people from the country
to the cities. JANE STORY.
