ers and Heavy Fines
Imposed.

Des Moines, Aug. 8.-The first report
OF Assistant Dairy Commissioner F. w.
Bouska on the campaign which has been
instituted against farmers who adulter-
ate their milk was received yesterday.
It is the result of investigation and tests
made by Mr.. Bouska in Tama county
and, it is given out, as simply sample
Of what is to follow unless the farmers
reform. Mr.. Bouska went into Tama
county several weeks ago and secured
samples of milk being furnished to sew
eral creameries there. He took two SAM
ples one from the patrons Of the
creameries themselves, and one from
the samples taken by the buttermakers
of the creameries. 1t has been alleged
by the farmers that the tests made by
the creameries have been unfair. The
custom has been to pay for what the
.oreameries' analysis showed, the mini
mum amount of butter fat allowed be-
ing per cent.
The creamery managers have con-
tended they gave the patrons fair test.
but there has been much grumbling, and
finally the state commissioner was APP
spealed to. The investigation and tests
in Tama county resulted in the arrests
OF a number of farmers on the charge of
milk adulteration. The report Of Mr.
Bouska shows who was arrested. the
percentage Of butter fat found and the
amount of the fines and costs charged
against and paid by each person found
guilty. The cases were pushed by Rich
ard Kapler the county attorney OF
Tama county. They were tried before
Justice w. C. Gotthold, of Elberon. The
report briefly is as follows:

Being a large relationship, its assem-
blage at a social gathering of the clans
filed the big house. There were none
of the restraints imposed by lack of
acquaintance. There was one contin-
ual round Of merriment, and among
other amusements was the good old
game of charades.
Though the opposing forces were all
related, it just happened that one side
had no trouble at all in guessing COR
rectly In short order, while the other
side required a much longer time even
when it did not score a failure. This
chagrned the losers especially as they
were laughed at as easy, a little slow
on the mental trigger, and all that sort
Of thing.
Finally, when the SLOW" ones got
chance TO go out, a sprightly young
matron announced a scheme. 1t was

adopted. The next charade was acted

under hotter fire Of jbes and sar-
casms than it had given. Finally the
conspirators voted that the other side
couldn't guess anything, however sim
pie, and the game was changed.

After six months investigation Of
the saloon problem in Chicago, Pro.
fessor Royal Loren Nelendy makes
plea for increased opportunity fo-
recreation as an ethical substitute for
the saloon. Other remedies suggested
by him are model tenement houses, IN
CREASED facilities for obtaining cheap
and wholesome food, and such necessi-
ties as public toilet conveniences, labor
bureaus, and public parks Much OF
the popularity Of the saloon he ascribes
to the social feature and the free-lunch
system. The social feature, he argues,
can be duplicated in club-rooms under
proper direction, and where the visl-
tors must not be affected with the feel
ing that the men conducting the club
are better than they are. For the
free-lunch attraction he would substi-
tute better facilities for the cheap
service Of food similar to those EN-.
ployed by the London coffee-houses.
This service Of free lunch in the sa.
looms demonstrates the possibility Of
