In the state IN the way of giving a line on how

Coe stock to fall and raises new hopes for
Drake. When Iowa was able to score only six
points against Coe, and then piled up seventeen
against Drake. the blue and white colors
dropped Coe is now considered back in the
class of second-rate college teams of the state.
Simpson of Indianola came near losing it's
prestige for the season by the game Saturday.
Des Moincs college, never up to this year rated

OF IL to- -. This Is not very surprising,

weeks ago Normal has enhanced its chances

winning from Cornell, the school which held
Grinnell to tie at 5 to 5 score.
The feature Of the season is the strength Of

No. rs. Des Moines college bids fair to gain
a higher college class next season. Normal may
Dust either Simpson or Grinnell from the ''big

son. Iowa is likely to be state champion this
season, but 1T has no firm grip upon the place.
The Ames cyclones may spoil it all. Ames held
Minnesota to a score OF ten In the first, half

plays with both Iowa and Drake this year, and
by winning the two games can claim the state
championship without any roorbacks. No other
teams will be formidable opponents for the hon

on Thanksgiving Day. Drake has less encour-

WHITE PLAGUE AS
INSURANCE RISK
Big Companies Turning to Theory
of Contagion as Against
| Heredity.
New york SIM snecial servioe.

New York Sun Special Service.
New York, Oct. 18.-The big life
insurance companies have made radical
changes in their attitude toward con-
sumption. Six months ago one Of the
leading companies had its blanks
so printed that the medical examiners
were compelled to ascertain whether
the applicant had the. slightest faint
of tuberculosis in his blood. The ques..
lions even extended to uncles, and
aunts. Under the new blanks, the in
terrogatories are confined to the pa
rents, brothers and sisters, with this
question added: els there or has there
been, any CONSUMPTION, in the house in
which you now live?'
Apparently this is the first recogni-
ton Of the theory that consumption is
not hereditary, but contagious. In an
interview today the medical director OF
the company said:
80 It is only question Of time until
all the insurance companies will accept
a man as frst-class risk whose mother
or father or sister has died of COM
sumption. y

university over the Bender-Fenlon incident has
been almost entirely dissipated by the state
ment that Chancellor Andrews has decided not
to press his side of the contention.
The athletic board, which disagreed with the
chancellor, has in it's membership several Of the

The chancellor is now quoted as having said that
he Is willing to accept the assurance that the
charges of professte nalism against Bender and
Fenlon, Of which they were absolved by the
board, were honestly investigated and a judg-
ment rendered in accordance with the evidence.
The matter is practically considered a closed

BARN DOOR FRAME.

satisfactory the hinge door is, always
sagging and being torn to pieces. With
the double hinge door, as it is common
ly seen, the lower one can be closed
and the upper one left open so as to
allow better ventilation and light.
Where there is a wide door the hinge
is impracticable, and then the track
hung door will have to be used. But
that, when closed, is entirely closed
and admits no light. A window sash
might be put in, but that is too easily
broken to be practicable.
My idea is to make a strong frame,
according to the illustration. The
sketch shows a door by feet, franz
ed with by 6 inch pine mortised to-
gether and braced in the lower portion
with common two by tours. The low
er part is then boarded up solid, the
upper ends of the boards being beveled
and coming to within about two inches
of the top of the center crosspiece.

Grape Acid Possibilities.

Increased profits for grape growers
are among the fair possibilities. The
American Grape Acid association Of
California offers $4,000 for the best
formula, with the right to use it, by
which grapes containing over 20 per
cent saccharin and valued at $40 per
ton can be turned into tartaric acid at
a price which will permit expectation
without loss. Here is a splendid re-
ward for some chemist, who, besides
the money compensation, will receive
the gratitude of the grape growers of
the Pacific coast states. 1t is also pro-
posed to utilize the acid in the residue
from grapes pressed for wine. This
acid, when properly treated, also makes
tartaric acid and cream Of tartar. As
there is a great market for these prod
ucts in the United States, the impor
lance Of utilizing grape acid for the
purpose is apparent. - Orange judo

Dairying That Pays.

In a series of institutes in the north
eastern counties of Pennsylvania l
found that farmers are specializing to
a much greater extent in that section
than in many other sections of the
state, says L. w. Lightly in National
Stockman. Quite q number of dairy
men are putting in plants of their own
for buttermaking and are devOting
all their thought and energies along
that line. In a number of instances
they sent their sons to the state col
lege to take a short course and are put
ting on the market first class butter
In every instance of this kind l learn.
ed that the demand was greater than
the supply of butter at a very good
price. The universal verdict Of those
men was that. while dairying is hard
and slavish work because Of the mi
mute and constant attention that the
details of the business require, it pays
handsome profit.

wild Animals and the Human Voice.
Gordon Cumming was perhaps the
first to discover the effect of the human
voice upon wild animals. On one occa-
sion he had liOness in full retreat be-
fore him. He called loudly to her,
whereupon she squatted like a huge
dog and permitted him to approach. In
a similar venture he checked the charge
of a lioness by yelling at her and con
tinued to do so, while she remained
perplexedly shifting the ground and al
lowed him to escape.
