President in Iowa.
President Roosevelt will arrive in
Des Moines April 2s at 2 p. m. and
will remain here until p. m. Prob
ably he will not make speech. He
will arrive in Shenandoah, Ia, the
morning of April 20, coming into this
state from Omaha. Stops will be
made at Clarinda, Osceola and Van
Wert. The train will leave Des
Moines for Oska1oosa at p. m. and
will proceed to Ottumwa, where it
will remain all night. A stop will be
made at Keokulk at $3.50 in the morn
ing of April 30, when the train will
proceed to St. Louis. Secretary of
the Treasury Shaw will make the
trip through Iowa with the 'presi-
dent. On June 2 the president will
visit Gov. Shaw's home at Denison
and will also stop at Fort Dodge and
Dubuque that day. No other stops
will be made. He will try not to
make speeches during either trip
through Iowa.
Must Have Certificates.
The state board of control has
adopted rule requiring all teachers
in all state institutions of whatever
character to procure certificates to
teach in the regular way. Heretofore
this has not been necessary, it being
the theory that these teachers are
engaged in special instruction of pc.
culiar classes of pupils and would not
need, ordinarily, to pass the teach
ers' examination. In accordance
with the rule of the board of control
however, the teachers at all the in
situations are now engaged in taking
these examinations. Probably all of
them will be able to pass and the
board of control believes their closer
alliance with the public schools will
be of value to them in their special
ICED work.
Trial of Prince Hamlet.
A proceeding which has attracted
the attention of the press in all parts
of the country has been the trial
at the Iowa City law college in con-
nection with the State university the
past week of Prince Hamlet for the
murder of his uncle, the king of Den
mark. Shakespeare's play has been
taken as the recital of the events
as they occurred at the time and the
trial of Hamlet has proceeded exact
ly as it would proceed to-day had the
murder occurred and Hamlet had
lived instead of dying, as recorded
in the play. The students are prac-
ticing law in the trial of the case.
Justice Deemer, of the supreme court
of the state, presided at the trial and
expert testimony as to the sanity OF
Hamlet was introduced. 1t was a
unique thing and the newspapers all
over the country telegraphed for in
formation concerning the case. The
jury found that Hamlet, Prince OF
Denmark, was guilty of manslaughter
when he killed King Claudius.

ment has been prepared under the direction

The form is addressed to the Postmaster
General, and requires the person filling 1t
out to state how long he has been confined

by the period of absence from the office,

France Inventing New Furniture

Paris Corr. London Telegraph.
An attempt is now being made to organize
new style in furniture and house decora-
ton. France has had Louis Quatorze and
other styles not forgetting that of the first
empire. 1t is. proposed by prominent va
riety merchant, or universal provider, who
keeps colossal bazaar in the Montmartre
district, to open competition for the pur-
pose of creating a style, 'Troisieme Repub-
llque.' The competition will be thrown
open to all artists and to artistic cabinet
makers and house decorators. Skilled
workmen in the furniture trade can also
compete. All are to send In designs and
plans for the creation of a style synthetic
of the present epoch. The designs and
plans are to deal with everything connected
with household ornament, comfort and lux
ton will comprise ministers, academicians,
artists, university professors and art critics.
A sum Of f4,OOO is to be divided in prizes by
the organizer Of the competition, who is one
CT the wealthiest men in Paris. Further
more he guarantees to run in the trade all
the articles of furniture or ornamentation
made from the prize designs and plans, and
he will pay the winners percentages on the
sale of their creations, just as If they were
novelists. dramatsts or composers of music
This project is considered to be chimerical
by some critics, who hold that the old fur
hiture of the Louis QuatorZe, Louis Quinze
and Louis Seize epochs is good enough, that
1t is still in great request and that 1t will
take lot of beating by the moderns.

two years in perfecting food in

1t is certainly a great sat
isfaction to be recognized as
the one distinctive and ex-
elusive shoe store in the Ma
TONS Capital. This is the one
shoe store in which wedding,
evening and reception foot
wear and novelties of all sorts
are not a side line, but spe-
cial and important feature.
For instance, we have sup
Piled the footwear for the
trousseaux of the leading
brides of the season. We fur
nished the footwear for as
many as four-hfths of those
who attended the recent
Charity Ball, Presidents re-
ception, state dinners and
other receptions in social life.
Much of this we made to
order-much of the material
was supplied us, so that the
footwear matched perfectly.
However, we have every
fashionable shade in stock in
kid and satin slippers, so that
if your needs are immediate,
we can supply them.
Nowhere else will you find
anything to compare with our
showing of riding boots for
ladies and men. Here you
find the same novelties"
which have been pronounced
fashionable in New York.
Just now the assortment is
particularly complete by the
arrival of new shipment.
What other shoe store can
show you such a line of
walking shoes and shoes for
rainy day wear with short
skirts-nurses' and maids
noiseless shoes-and coach
mems and buffers and wait
ers' footwear-in such I'M
equaled and exclusive variety
as ours? A proof that we
are ahead in this respect is
that our leadership has never
been challenged.
Special attention is called
to the white canvas shoes and
Oxfords for misses, children
and infants, the newest fad"
for evening and party wear
and indispensable for wear in
southern chimes.

Disease Rare Before 1875.

81 can remember that prior to about 1875"
said DR.. Howard. that there was little or
none OF the ailment among the people. In
twenty. five years OF practice among the peo-
pie before that time l do not think 1 saw
more than forty cases Of appendicitis. Now
they are common.
Large and extended changes In the diet
Of people has contributed to this. For exam
pie. about the date mentioned there began to
be a general change from the old method
Of grinding grain to the present method Of
roller mills and excessively hne boiling
cloths. This plan Of milling began first in
the large cities. and appendicitis began to
increase first there. Later the new process
crowded out the small mills In the coun.
try. and the people could not get Hour made
by the old processes. They bought products
pf the large milling establishments, and
then the farmers began to have Appendix

they began to eat our fine white -four and

fashion. Now they have appendicitis in Ger.

.APPENDICITISGDUE
TO, WHITE>FL0UR,
So<DecIares Physician: Who SAYS
System-of Milling Is to-
-. =
Blame.

- RANGES Ia milling processes are re-
~ sponsible for appendicitis, according
to physician who has been in the
practice Of medicine for fifty years
and who has observed the spread of the
disease. This physician. DR.. H. c. Howard
OF Champaign. ILL.,. asserts that until the
trade demand for exceedingly white -four
changed the methods Of grinding wheat there
was no appendicitis.
To prove this assertion the physician points
to the fact that where coarse breads are used
the disease Is unknown, but that as soon
as the fine breadsturs are introduced ap-
pendicitis comes along as sequence.
BY this reasoning it is shown that the PEG.
pie Of agricultural communities who secured
their flour from small mills did not have the
disease until the small mills were crowded
out by the large ones and fine white flour
supplanted the coarse.
Then the negroes Of the south SO long as
they ate corn bread were free from the dis
ease. but when the new process flour began
to be- used the disease came among them.
The same results attended the departure Of
the German folks from their coarse bread to
the refined -four.
