VERMONT MAY DROP PROHIBITION.

The state of Vermont which has re-
Gently been jogging along at rapid
rate in it's efforts to abandon prohibi-
ton of the liquor traffic. because of its
ineffectiveness, has finally reached a
point where its legislature has adopted
a high license local option measure that
may or may not be finally approved by
the people, After nine weeks discus
several important amendments to the
original bill drafted by the joint COM
measure for the six license bills intro
duced during the present session of the
legislature These amendments are,
first, the vote of the people on its ac-
ceptance or rejection shall be on the
first Tuesday of February next instead
of the first Tuesday of January. The
distance from church or schoolhouse
where a saloon can be located is fixed
at 200 instead of 400 feet. One-half OF
go to the state and one-half to the town
or city in which such license is grant
ed. instead of three-fourths to the state
and one-fourth to the town or city.
In case the people vote mo" on the
acceptance or rejection of the law it is
not to go into effect until Dec. l, 1906,
thus giving two coming legislatures an
opportunity to repeal 1t. A clause is al
so added that this law shall not affect
any prosecutions brought under the
prohibitory law.
1t will be observed that 1t remains for
the people to say whether this law shall
be acce pied now or rejected until 1906 II
must be confessed that it will be hard
blow to prohibition if they vote to ac-
cept 1t. In the meantime the anti
saloon league and the Woman's Chris
| tian Temperance Union will stump
every locality in the state in an attempt
! to influence voters to reject it, and such
| a possibility may follow. According to
| a. dispatch from the state capital many
| members of both houses who voted fol
| the passage of this bill to fulfill the
pledge made by the republican state
convention are personally bitterly OPP
posed to a license law and will joir
with the temperance forces in working

The lessons that will come from the
ensuing campaign may be instructive
land useful to other states. The people
are everywhere interested in restricting
the liquor traffic to the closest limits

OUTSIDE POINT OF VIEW

I am well aware" said the writer
TO MS better half that you have often
suggested that this philosopher lives to
eat rather than eat to live. / realize
that your p-to-date ideas are those of
the science of dining while others of
grosser build are accused of feeding.
Nevertheless madam, the government
Of the United States has seen fit to in
Westigate this question of food for the
human family. Recently twelve clerks
in the department of agriculture began
d unique test. For the next two or three
months they will immediate their appe-
tites upon the altar of science and at
the same time get their board at the
expense of the government. The idea
is to test the real effects of adulterated
food upon the human system.
Each man was weighed and pro-
vided with q thermometer, He is ex-
pected to take his temperature three
times day. For two weeks they will
be served with plain, substantial food.
AT the end of that time the six who
have shown the most proficiency in
formed into the first table, at which
preservatives will be fed.
after being fed upon personalities
and adulterants for two weeks the men
will go back to honest food, and the
other six will take turn at the pre-
servatives. DR.. H. w. Wiley, chief
chemist of the department, says he has
no idea how long it will take to DEM
onstrate the effect of the foods he in
tends to feed the young men. The ex-
periments will be continued for six
months, if necessary. Manufacturers
of adulterated foods. as well as the
general public, are taking a deep inter-
est in these experiments, as it is the
first time the matter has been taken
up officially and treated in a purely sci
entific manner.
This suggests to me, my dear wife, .
continued the speaker, that here in
this family, while this test of honest
and 'adulterated' food is going on, we
will have one of our own. Get out your
pencil, madam. Memorandum: Mrs.

But it cannot be denied that the masses
of Iowans are against prohibition, after
a fair trial, and the waning vote of the
prohibition party may be cited against
it. SO small is the interest in prohi-
bition in Marshalltown that a debate
announced for last evening on the mer-
its of the question was called off be-
cause of lack of hearers.

INDIAN LANGUAGE.
Ira. "A. Call in Algona Republican,
For two years prior to my coming to
Kossuth county I spent most of my
time on the upper Mississippi river,
around ST. Paul and Fort Smelling, and
on the tributaries of the Saint Croix
river: a part of the time among the
Indians, Sioux and Chippewas, and l
learned a good deal of the Indian sign
language and quite few words both
in Chippewa and Sioux. The sign Ian
guage is identically the same with all
tribes east of the rocky mountains, but
their word language is very different.
In the same tribe each individual has
his own pronunciation. A buffalo is
a "titonka" or "tionka," or "tetonka,"
as you find your Indian.
"itonka" also means a cow or OK or
most anything big; a big white man
is at once saluted as "titonka wasecha;"
so with an elk, he is "humpa," or
"umpa," or 'fmpah;" a moccasin or
nlitten or any other thing leather, is
also called "umpah." They have no
written language to hold them to a
unifosm pronunciation, and besides
have all manner of defects in their
speech, with usually a lazy grunt at
| the end of every word
