PROTECT RURAL BOXES
Governments Decided Stand
for Protection Of Farmers
Mail Boxes.
Postmaster Saint Receives In.
structions to Report All
Depredations.
Violators of Law May Be Fined
$1,000, or Imprisoned for
Three Years.

The United States government is TAX
| ing a decided stand in it's efforts to pro-
tect the farmers of the country living
on rural free delivery routes. Postmas-
ter John Q. Saint has received letter
from General Superintendent A. w.
Macen, of the rural delivery service,
stating that depredations covered by
the recent law enacted should be
promptly reported to the United States
attorney for the district in which they
may occur, and that such reports
should be accompanied by such positive
evidence as ii may be possible to sub
NIT, indicating who are guilty part
les. The following paragraph, taken
from the postoffice appropriation bill. is
given in order to show those inclined
toward destructiveness what it will
mean should Uncle Sam learn of the
mutilation of mail boxes belonging to
farmers. The paragraph is as follows:
whoever shall hereafter willfully or
maliciously injure, tear down or des-
troy and letter box or other receptacle
established by order of the postmaster
general, or approved or designed by him
for the receipt or delivery of mail mat
ter on any rural free delivery route, or
shall break open the same, of willfully
or maliciously injure, deface or destroy
any mail matter deposited therein, or
shall wilfully take or steal such matter
from or out of such letter box or other
receptacle, or shall willfully aid or as
sist in any of the aforementioned Of
lenses, shall, for every such offense, be
punished by fine of not more than
$1,000, or by Imprisonment for not more
than three years.
This law is now in full force, all that
was lacking, since it's passage being the
signature of President Roosevelt, which
is now affixed.

SUMMER COMFORT.
Get Ready for Warm Weather.

Get Ready for Warm Weather.
BY a complete change in breakfast
at this time of the year, one can put
the body right to go thru the summer
comfortably.
| Leave off meat, potatoes and heavy
body heating foods, and use the food
that will nourish the body and give
reserve force to the brain and nervous
system.
| A most appetizing and healthful
breakfast can be made on Grape Nuts
and cream, some fruit and perhaps
two soft boiled eggs-this meal will
furnish full strength and nourishment
up to the next and has a remarkable
effect on the body during hot weather
Remember the cells of the body you
are now building will last you into
summer, so be sure and build the kind
that tend to keep a cool body and level
head.
one pound of Grape Nuts has more
nourishment-that the system will alb
sorb-than ten pounds of meat, with,
out any of the internal heat of meat
that person wishes to avoid during
the warm season, it's rich, nutty flavor
added to the delicate sweet of the
grape sugar makes a dish pleasing to
the most critical taste.
You receive Grape Nuts from the
grocer ready to serve, as it has been
thoroughly cooked at the factory by
to"d experts, and this saves heat from
coc'ring and time and exertion nee
essa v in preparing ordinary food.
hange from the old breakfast to
one liFe this will refresh and invigor-
ate the system in surprising manner
and permit you to enjoy the pleasuree
of summer in cool, comfortable fash
ion when your neighbors, differently
fed, will be hot"

Plays havoc East OF the City.
The heavy rainstorm of Monday, al
tho heavy here. played havoc east Of the

overflow of Danube creek, q small

TO ARRANGE CENTRAL PICNIC.
Railroad Employees Will Meet Tonight

to Plan For Annual Outing.
The employees OF the Iowa Central
will meet tonight in the company's
round house to try and arrange definite
arrangements for the picnic of Iowa
Central railway employees. Engineer
j. M. Speer will act as chairman of the
meeting, and Mr.. j. j. MacLeay, of the
shops, as secretary.
1t is probable the picnic this year
will be held at Oskaloosa. Heretofore,
ever since the employees began enjoying
these annual outings. points north
have been selected as picnic grounds.
This has necessitated the employees
from the south and east to travel quito
a distance and they feel that 1t should
be held further south. 1t is likely
some pretty spot on the Skunk river
will be secured for the picnic. The
date will be in the neighborhood of

ENORMOUS FIRE LOSSES.
Companies Discouraged Over Average
Daily Loss of $735OO0.


Chicago-Fire insurance men are IN
u state of panic over the abnormally
heavy losses coming with rush after
three years of sadly Improbable bust
ness, and several companies are said to
be dangerously near dissolution. Over
i. score of stock companies retired last
year. some of them well up in the mill
ion dollar class. A half-dozen have
gone already this year, among them
two of the Oldest fire insurance compa-
MES in the United States.
The Paterson conflagration is the
third of three CONGREGATIONS within as
many weeks. First came Norfolk. with
sweeping fire that cost the insurance
companies s1,000000. Waterbury fol-
lowed with loss of s1,000,0O0. The
contlagration, underwriters declare,
follow an unusually heavy run of ordi-
nary losses. The average daily loss this
year to date is s735,0oo, which would
mean a loss for the year of $3.50. 00O.0 900.
The ordinary losses for the year are far
In excess of last year. and it's total was
nearly s160,000.000. The rapidly in
creasing use of electricity is the only
explanation advanced for this increase.
Rates are certain to be advanced. in-
surance men declare and that large In
surers who realize the situation have
made no objections. Increases have al
ready been made, but they have proved
insufficient, and further increases are

rrBIIsHEp DAILY BY THE
TO GUARD ELECTIONS.

Representative Kerr, of Grundy
county, has introduced a bill in the
house requiring candidates for public
offices to file statement of their cleo
ton expenses with certain officer.
Without knowing the exact items Of the
bill or whether it limits the candidate
to a certain amount of expense, it may
he said that it is doubtless patterned
after laws that are in force in other
states designed to prevent bribery and
extravaganza in seeking office. A some
what similar law is in operation in New
York and appears to be acceptable to
the people. A statement of expense is
given under several heads and is open
to the inspection of the public. How
much 1t is evaded in the states where 1t
is in operation is not known, Tor it
would be difficult to frame law COW
ering a matter of this kind that could
not by the connivance of several in
terested parties set upon foot influences
to mold public opinion and win voters
that might appear to spring wholly
from uninfiuenced sources. Still, in a
general way it has deterring effect
and without doubt prevents a great
deal of baneful work of this kind; and
as the aim of it is to secure greater
purity in elections, such measure ap-
peals powerfully to the people.
