WhyAdulterated
Paint is Dear

A maker of adulterated
white lead sneered "Why
should paint be pure? No
one eats it"
True, but when white
lead is adulterated with
barytes, Sublimed lead,
gypsum, whiting, etc., it
loses the qualities which
make pure white lead the
best paint pigment.
And when these imita-
tons are sold as white lead,
the consumer is deceived
into payingwhite lead prices
for worthless substitutes.

Protest Answered.

Reply to the gentleman who
takes pride in calling himself
heathen.
Our County Coroner tells why he
shipped the dead body of Ernest
Koehnke to Des Moines.
To William Brinkerhoff, ESQ.,
In the last edition of the Extra
Journal on the front page, you
me in an article headed "Protest"
in the interest OF decency. You
are either ignorant of what the
law enjoins upon Coroner in case
he receives dead body unclaimed
by relatives or friends, or else you
believe in the open, willful viola
ton of the law. The law upon this
subject is found in sections 4946-A,
4946-B, 4946-C, 4946-D and 4946-E,
Code Supplement of Iowa. The
law makes it criminal and attache q
a penalty of $50. for the failure or
refusal of any Coroner to notify
the Secretary of State Board of
Health, at once, after body comes
into his possession if the same be
not claimed by relatives or friends.
Before notifying the Secretary
of the State Board of Health, 1
made every effort to locate some
relative or friend of Mr.. Koehnke
to take charge of the body. The
only relative l could find was
sister in Nebraska. at once noti-
fed her by telegram and she re-
fused to have anything to do with
the body. I then sought the ad-
vice ofthe County Attorney, who
referred me to the law above men.
toned. The law expressly pro-
yides that every Medical College
receiving the body of a deceased
person shall hold the same for the
period of sixty days subject to the
claim of relatives or friends. If
you are as much concerned about
this matter as you claim to be you
may go to Des Moines, reclaim the
body as friend and give it such
burial as You desire. The law,
however, provides that such bodies
may only be used for the purpose
OF medical and surgical study and
after so used the body shall be de.
Gently buried.
The law, bearing slight changes,
was passed over thirty years ago.
1t is for you and the Legislature to
change it if it does not suit, but un-
til it ia changed must obey it if I
am to be law abiding citizen. I
nor you have no right to say that
we will obey only such lave as
please US Individually. Whether
it is more humane aud civilized
for the law to}permit, under strict
limitations, operations upon the
bodies OF deceased persons, as it
has for great many years that
the medical fraternity may the bet
ter understand how to preserve
life and prevent death, is ques-
ton shall not discuss. I do say,
however, that any man who con-
demns an officer for simply com.
plying with the law he is sworn
to obey, is sowing the seeds of law
lessness and anarchy.
Respectfully,
NBLs JENSEN, Coroner.

Mary had little lamb, it's fleece

away one day where lambs should
never go. And Mary sat her quick

And Mary had a brother John who
kept a village store; he sat down
and smoked a pipe and watched
the open door. And as the people
passed along and did not stop to
buy, John still sat and smoked his
pipe and blinhed his sleepy eye.
