ing on him to protect life and proper
ty. After sending this message Mr..

TEST CASE Is DECIDED.
Iowa Supreme Court Renders Opinion
Regarding Sale of Colored
O1eomarg1rine

Des >Moines, Ia, June 1.-THE Iowa
supreme court Friday affirmed a de-
cision of the lower court, prohibiting
the sale of colored oleomargarine un-
less the state dairy laws are complied
with. The suit was brought by the
Iowa dairy commission against the
Armour Packing company and was in
the nature of a. test. The Armours
contended that their oleomargarine
was made the color of yellow butter
through natural processes in it's manu-
facture and that, therefore, their deal
.ers were not compelled to exhibit the
label. The first indictment was
Quashed through techni1alities. Upon
the second trial the state secured a
favorable verdict and an appeal was
taken. The supreme court holds that
it is not enough for the packing COM
pany to- prove that their oleomargarine
is made yellow through natural proc
ess, but that it is violation of the
state law to sell any color and kind of
oleomargarine without the label

The Michigan physician who puts the
annual money loss to the United States
from typhoid fever at $4,000, 900 is far
from setting forth the full truth. He
reaches his estimate by assuming 81 900
as the average value of the lives and he
omits all account of money spent in care
of nonfatal cases. The real value of the
lives lost might more properly be
rated at $4,000, and at least 500 on
the average must be spent on victims
who recover. On this calculation. as
Stunning that the physician is correct, the
annual loss to the country from typhoid
is nearly $3O0.O00,OOO
