To Amend Poison Law.

w. F.. Maher of Fort Dodge, presi-
dent of the Iowa Pharmaceutical as
ISOLATION, has inaugurated a campaign
for pure drugs and proper regulation
by state legislation of the sale of
poisons in Iowa. He is preparing a
circular which will be mailed to every
druggist in the state, calling attention
to The fact that the poison schedule in
the Iowa pharmacy laws has not been
revised In twenty-five years. During
that time many new chemicals and
poisons have been discovered and
placed on the market. Some of these
deadly poisons may be handled and
sold by any one without restriction. 1t
is the purpose of Mr.. Maher to secure
the cooperation of ALI Iowa druggists
in securing proper legislation to safe
guard the public with precautionary
measures in reference to the sale OF
poisons and to secure pure drugs.

we have different theories to offer as

OF these is that people, themselves,

They have grown because they have

continued his course persistently and

"Etraws show which way the wind

Louis Globe Democrat, a stanch Re-
publican organ. In a long editorial,
entitled .Opening the Campaign Of
1906" It says, inter ALA: "An increase
In the house or even the retention of
svery one of the present seats by
the Republicans is impossible. Some
seats will necessarily be lost" An
open confession is good for the soul,
70 It is said. Therefore let us hope
mat the CD. feels better. OF course
the GID. goes on to argue that, while
some seats will be lost to the Repub-
Leans, they will still control the house.
"6ome seats lostl" No doubt. I'm fact,
Hsveral. The chances are that more
than the 1fty-sevep necessary to give
us the house will be lost. At least
everything looks that way now. No
matter though Hon. James 8. sher-
man, chairman OF the congressional
Republican campaign committee, has
BEEN In conference with President
Roosevelt at Oyster Bay, the country
shows evidences OF being weary Of the

J. P. Holm Offers to Give Sl00
If Nine Other Men Will Do
Likewise.
To BUY AN ARMORY,
Westminster Cadets Have Been
Struggling All Winter to Raise
Enough More to Secure Property
Upon Which They Now Have An
OptiOn-Plan Would Place Cadets
on Firm Footing i'm This City.

j. p. Holm has announced that he
will give 500 to the Westminster
Cadets providing that nine other men
can be found who will also give 500
each, making q total of 81 900 for
the young military organization.
Mr.. Holm has heard of the cadets
struggle to raise funds with which to
purchase quarters of their own. He
has noted the contributions coming
in and was particularly touched by
the donation of $40 by the Grand
Army, whose treasury is already de-
pleted Mr.. Holm wants to help the
boys along and he believes there are
nine men in this city just as able as
himself to give the cadets 500 He
starts the ball rolling with his $100
and puts it up to the people.
The cadets want to buy home of
their own. They have an option on
property which, it is understood,
holds good until May 80. With this
$1,000 the purchase would be as
sured.
