want. as the Quaker said, to speak my
mind. donot think Col. Eiboeck's the
Iorys is a sound one. He seems TO think
the prohibitory law of Iowa oppressive
and injurious to farmers, etc. and that
were it not for prohibition there would
be a great influx of immigration. that
lliberal-minded people will not go to
states where rank laws exist, that men
who labor day in and day out want
places of amusement to go to on sun
GAYS and Sunday evenings. Now would
ii not be better for those men to spend
their Sundays and Sunday evenings at
church than in a saloon? ! think So;
and if the prohibition law is a cause of
ron-immigration, why. the state will be
better off without them anyway. What $
the matter with Iowa is her prohibition
law doesn't prohibit as II should. Why.
four or five years ago we had no saloon
in Iowa ard II would be better for all
concerned We're none now, To my think

TIGHT CHECK RElNs.

Mr.. Editor. Attic the senseless and
cruel fashion of docking horses tails is
perhaps on the wane. another fashion
which humane people have long deplor-
ed seems TOW to prevail to consider
able extent namely the use of the tight
overhead check, which inficts not only
great distress, but as competent veter-
mary surgeons declare, serious injury.
Any but the most careless observer must
notice the constant twisting and turn
ing to find rest in change Of position for
the strained and aching neck. Some
years over 500 veterinary surgeons
signed a statement to the effect that the
tight over-draw check is painful to
horses and productive OF disease. Pro-
fessor Axe, OF the Royal Veterinary
College, London, said that the check
rain is responsible for poll-evil. alb
scesses. sprung knees, paralysis, and
disorders of the brain and youscles. DR.
Fleming. of the British army said that
the long continued pressure on the low
err jaw tends to give the horse . hard
mouth; that 1t does not prevent stumb-
ling. but rather pre-disposes the horse

ARMY is WELL CARED FOR.

Il
Probably few persons paid much at
tention to The widely printed dispatch
recently sent out from Washington Civ
ing an account Of an order issued by
the president in regard to army rations.
But in view Of the criticism by the dem
ocrats in congress, just before the re-
cent session ended, as to the cost of our
army compared with that Of any other
nation, this new order of tho president
is not without significance. Before it
was issued the United States army was
the best fed army on earth. But the
new order greatly improved the ra-
tions.
AS stated in dispatch to the Balti-
more Sun, a rabid democratic "anti-im-
perialist' newspaper, the new ration
includes the most liberal substance al
lowed any soldiers in the world, and is
adapted to tropical countries as we'll as
the frozen zcne of Alaska No liquor
ration Is allowed the soldier but when
ever practicable fresh meats and fresh
vegetables are to be provided In place OF
canned articles. Each man Is allowed
plenty OF fresh beef, bread, coffee, and
even some luxuries in the form of Jams
and other sweets. Beans and potatoes
are a part of the daily diet. The sub
stitutive articles of both field ard garri-
son duty present tempting bill Of fare
for the soldier, and include fresh NUT

picked fish. canned fish, soft bread and
hard bread. cornmeal. peas, rice hon.
