There was a genuine horse-swap+

principals being a coupe of rural cit-

highway after selling their bales OF
cotton, says the Montgomery Adyer-

PURE FOOD LAWS.
Resolutions In Their Favor
Elect officers for the Year.

At the meeting of the academy OF
sciences, held at the capitol in Des
Moines, II strong resolution indoors
ing the movement for the preserva.
ton of the Iowa forests was passed
The following pure food resolutions
were adopted:
!. That the committee on pure food laws
be authorized to continue its work.
.. That the committee cooperate with
committees from other organizations in the
enactment of pure food laws.
3. That the attention of the Legislature be
called to the necessity and value of the
pure food laws in this state. Iowa as a state
should not be surpassed by other states in
the enactment of pure food laws. This state
should not remain an open field for impos-
ing adulterated food products upon our citi-
Zens to the detriment of both health ard
pocket books. Neighhoring states are in adj
vance of Iowa on this subject and the time
is ripe for our state to take the position
which rightly belongs to it in order that its
citizens may be protected.
Officers for the ensuing year were
elected as follows:
President, H. E. Summers, Ames; first
vice president, j. l.. Tlton. Indanola; second
vice president S. w. Boyer, Ames; secre-
tary A. g. Leonard, Des Moines; treasurer
Is. Shimek, Iowa City: executive commit

IOWA STATE NEWS.
Caused n Surprise.

Among the marriage licenses pub
lished in the Chicago papers We're the
names of Miss Hazel Beardshear,
daughter of Prof w. NJ. Beardshear, of
Ames, and Mr.. L. NJ. Chambers, a young
mining engineer. 1t was first reported
that an elopement had taken place and
that Prof. Beardshear was greatly
wrought up over the affair. When in
terviewed he denied this report in every
particular. He said that the marriage
took place with his consent and knowl-
edge, was no elopement, and that he
holds MIR. Chambers in very high re-
spect. Chambers was graduated from
the Iowa state college last year as 4
mining engineer. Miss Beardshear is q
very pretty miss and very popular.
The announcement of her marriage
was great surprise to all her friends.

SMALLPOX IN IOWA.
1t Is Expected That the Legislature
This Winter Will Pass Laws to
Aid Its Prevention.

DR.. w. w. Hawk, of Newton, repre-
sentative from Jasper county, believes
that the legislature this winter will
take cognizance of the prevalence of
smallpox in Iowa and pass laws in pre-
vention. He has suggested a law max
ing more stringent the regulations re-
specting quarantine. LaNity in re-
spect to quarantine has been respon
sible for the widespread of the dis
ease, in the opinion of most physicians.
On account of failure to report eases
to the local boards of health physicians
have been summoned before the state
board of medical examiners on occa-
sions and asked for explanations.
The members of the legislature, the
physicians and the boards of health do
not urge law compelling vaccination,
although the physicians agree that
vaccination is the quickest and surest
way Of stamping out the disease.
There is a prejudice or opposition to
it in parts of the state and no effort
will be made to enforce compulsory
vaccination. The law already gives au-
tnorlty 10 compel ScnOOl cnlldfen 10 De
vaccinated OR remain at home from
school. This has not been enforced to
any perceptible degree except in those
towns or cities in which the disease
had become epidemic and the schools
were forced to close temporarily. A
more severe penalty for violation of
quarantine will probably be the extent
to which the legislature will amend
the quaratine laws.

story of Lord KeIv;,


Nothing gives man of learning ruder
shock than to have doubts cast on his abil-
lty to maintain position of authority on
the subject to which he has given lifetime
of study. This was strikingly illustrated
in the life of Lord Kelvin, the eminent sci
enlist. One day, when lecturing on cleo
tricity, he told his class that while volt
age OF 5000 or so would be fatal to man,
voltage Of, say, 300,0 900 would be harmless.
He was going to give a practical illustration
on himself at once with current of far
more than ordinary voltage, but the stu
dents cried out: Try it on an ANIMAL"
Lord kelvin turned in dignity and east a
look of reproach at his class That his own
pupils should doubt him! Didn't / fig
ure it out MYSELF" he said, quietly, as he
walked to the apparatus and safely turned
the tremendous voltage into himself. !

The Harvest Of Humanity.

Now the question to each of us isa
How large is our harvest? What
fruit have we gathered from the vast
field of humanity? Have the ages of
toll and fruitage left us something
to garner? Have we been diligent
husbandmen, preparing in the spring.
and harvesting in the autumn? Each
man and woman is different type;
of humanity. 1t need not be thas
each develops according to the pat-
tern. The beauty of human life is
vanity. In our gardens we cutie
vate flowers of different colors. EACH
has it's place and a beauty of its own.

COAL IN NAVAL WARFARE.
The Fuel Supply Is Great Factor
in the Success of Our
Warships.

The problem of naval success in war
is problem of coal. A fleet cannot OPP
crate with success if it must limit itself
to defensive operations with home
base; it must be ready to strike Of
fensive,y in the spot where the stroke
will be the most effective, and to do
this it must have access to coal supply
at widely distributed points.
The report of Admiral Bradford,
chief of the equipment bureau of the
navy, shows how we are progressing
toward a provision of sources of coal
supply. The progress is slow, but a
gain is being made. We are as yet
without proper equipment of coaling
stations on our own coast; and while
we now have coaling stations on Mex
lean and japanese territory, we have
none in Cuba, and none in the direction
OF Europe. In the Pacific and in Phil
lpplne waters We shall soon be so we'll
equipped in this line that we shall not
be at disadvantage in the far east.
An immense sum has properly been
spent in the last fiscal year to deposit
American coal at these widely scat
tered stations from Pichilinque, Mex
leo, through Hawaii, Tutuila and Guam
to Japan and the Philippines. Another
war would not see our navy so nearly
paralyzed by a coal famine, says the
Black Diamond. nor so dependent OIL
the friendly offices of another power
as 1T was in the Spanish war.

Turquoises from Sinai.

The finest turquoises in the world
come at present from the Mount Sinai
peninsula. Formerly the mines of
Persia supplied them in abundance,
but now these mines are becoming ex-

government for working the ancient
Sinai mines, which, as hieroglyphics

Astrologers Who Prophesied the Ill

native newspaper These horoscopes
were recently reprinted in the same
paper and have been hailed with i'm

certainly most remarkable. when we
remember they were published eight

throned notwithstanding and will
brilliantly reign over his kingdom for
a period Of not less than Is years to

him, but his majesty's life is secure
for many years to come"
A Dindigul astrologer stated: "The
position of the planets shows that be-
tween June 21 and 2s, 1902. the king
emperor will suffer of boils like car
buncles throughout the body and the
conjunction also indicates danger. As
a panacea for this evil the emperor
is recommended to make gifts Of black

ONE OF THE ANCIENT ARTS
As with Everything Else, America
Has Captured the COoperage
Business of the world.

Cooperage is one of the ancient arts
born, doubtless, of the necessity of
having proper vessels for preserving
wines. The London eoopers were in
corporated into a guild in 1901. As
usual, America has captured the coop
erage business of the world. The Ma
tional Barrel and Cooperage company
declares that 20O,O0O,OOo barrels are
used annually. / could mention one
company alone that turns out 10000
a day, or 12,500,000 a year. It's prod
uct includes casks, kegs, all sorts of
barrels, butter tubs, pals, churns, etc
Our boundless forests gave us the adj
vantage in eooperage. We supply
yearly all the rest of the world with
barrels, casks and slaves, our annual
product being valued at more than
S40,oO0,000. For casks to hold liquids
oak is used, while for sugar and -four
and other dry substances nothing has,
been found TO equal elm. The manu-
faeturers have bought up millions of
acres Of forests TO guard against a
scarcity Of barrel material They are
yandals, like the rest of the timber
users. Sufficient unto the day is the
forest thereof. If they can make
Sl,0O0,000in lifetime by utterly devas-
tating 10000, 100000 acres Of precious
woodland, why, they will make the

sicians informed the father that IL
he was not sent on an ocean cruise or

sumption. Accordingly the father put
him aboard ship, with S1,40o in cash,
and started him off to Samaria, being
advised that the dry country between
the River Jordan and the Mediter-
ranean was good for consumptives.
When he reached Queenstown the boy
made the acquaintance of a hard-head-
ed. sensible chap, who told him that
Samaria was sure death; that the only
way to save his lungs was to go 10

set to work on a farm. The advice
was taken and for nine months the
scion Of Back Bay aristoeracy did
chores for man who owned a castle.
At the end Of that period he was as
