Dendtured Alcohol.

The Leader has heretofore spoken
of the profit to be realized on the
establishment of a distillery in this
city for the manufacture of denatured
alcohol. It's production on an extern
sive scale is very simple and the raw
materials already exist in large guam
titles in this and adjoining counties.
All saccharlne or starchy groWths
are available and can be purchased at
reasonable prices, as most of it is now
wasted. Alcohol is now produced at
cost of not exceeding II cents a gal
lon and possibly might be produced
a. a lower figure. AS has already
been said in the columns of the Lead
err, there is building in this city par
TALLY equipped which might be utilized
for its manufacture and as the de-
mand for such alcohol will increase
rapidly in the future for use IN laun-
ches and automobiles it's manufacture
is safe proposition. 1t is said to be
much better and safer than gasoline
and is free from the offensive odor of
the oil product. 1t is certainly a pro-
position which should receive the
attention of those who have means
and are looking for profitable invest
ment

Hope for the Dull.

Many dull children become the very
brightest and most effective men and
women. There are various reasons
for this fact 1t is not, however, an
exceptional condition in nature.
Many of the hardest plants and trees
mature most slowly and bear fruit
late. The problem OF the dull child
is one that need by no means dis
courage.
If it were necessary to prove by ex-
ample the assertion in regard to the
hopefulness of slow minded children
we could fill many pages with in
stances of famous men who were dull
ards in youth. Walter Scott, for IN
stance, was known at school as the
"Greek blockhead,'' since he seemed
unable to master that language.
Some children by TOO rapid growth
become bulky and stupid temporarily.
They could be described, in technical
language, as not yet cerebrated -
that is, to coin a word, brainized. F."
Bones and muscles have grown more
rapidly than brain and nervous system.
But in multitudes of cases the nervous
forces develop later, catch up and be-
come predominant. Then you have a
bright man or woamn not dull, slow
child, asys Calvin Dill Watson.
m
take periods that comes to certain con-
situations the child should not be fore
ed too much. There are for the time
not sufficient reserves of nerve force
but this may be slowly storing up.
Then the boy or girl, all at once
wakes up, becomes alert, active
bright.
The slow minded child should never
hear one discouraging comment upon
himself. He should never be told
that he is dull and if he finds it out
for himself and speaks of it he should
be reminded that there is vast
difference in the rapidity of the de-
velopment of various minds. He
should be encouraged to look forward
hopefully to time when his efforts
will be rewarded by an awakening OF
his faculties. Though it is true
that all dull children do not become
bright men, it is also true that all
precocious and bright children do not
fulfill their promise.
Do not press the slow child over
much. Give him time He may be
sleeping giant, who takes longer to
rub his eyes open and yawn himself
awake than feebler bodies do. In
every case treat such hopefully.

DAMAGE BY FIRE
EARLY YESTERDAY
WILLIAM 6. PRITZLAFF & CO.
SUFFER A LOSS.
Fire Started in Third Story of
Their Building Early Yesterday
Fire Department Called at
40 d. m.-Reddy for Business
in a Day or Two.

Yesterday morning at 4 10 O'Clock
the city was aroused by an alarm of
fire which proved to be in the store
building of William G. Pritzlaf & Co.
on Main Street. The fire started in
the third story in the rear of large
store room and must have been burning
for some time before it was discover
ed and an alarm turned in. How it
caught is a mystery, for no one had
been in the building to the knowledge
of the proprietors since Saturday eve
ming except one of the proprietors,
who entered the store Monday evening
and lighted gas jet in the rear of
the room as is customary to have a
light burning nights. The fire burned
through the floor in the third stroy
through which a stove dropped on the
floor of the second story making loud
noise which attracted attention, re-
sulting III the alarm being given.
The fire department responded prompt
ly and by hard and we'll directed
work saved the building and and stock
which was damaged however to a con-
siderable extent by water the building
being flooded from garnet to cellar.
The firm of William G.. Pritzlatf &
Co. consists of William G. and R.
H. Pritzlaff, both of whom are exceed
ingly were pleased with the work OF
the fire department and speak in
words of high praise of the depart
ment. The firm expects to be ready
for business in the course of a couple
of days and ready to respond to the
needs of it's patrons and give them
bargains in hardware, stoves, etc.

Anti Fraud Laws.

There is today all over our coun-
try, decided movement towards the
enactment of laws that will protect
consumers against substitution anC
adulteration.
MANY States now have very strin-
gent pure food laws, and a national
pure food law is to go into effect all
over the United States on january l.
1907.
New York State has also law pro-
hibiting the stamping of cotton as
linen, an a law compelling all silver
sold as sterling to be 925-100O fine.
Other States have other laws along
the same lines.
North Dakota has taken the lead in
enacting a law for the protection Of
property owners against very com
mon and serious kind Of fraud-the
selling Of adulterated paints and paints
containing ingredients worthless or
worse than worthless.
The law passed by the North Dako-
ia legislature compels all makers of
adulterated paints to label their kegs
with the exact ingredients of their
paints.
Pure-white-l lead and linseed-oil is
accepted as the standard paint by the
lawmakers. just as it is by paintau
thorities everywhere.

ACCIDENT BEFALS
ALBERT SCHUENKE
Two Bones in Leg Broken
at TiVOli Island Last
Evening.

AS far as was able to ascertain,
4here was only one accident yesterday
to mar the pleasures of the Labor Day
celebration. 1t was an accident that
befel Albert Schuenke, a middle aged
gentleman residing on College street,
who, shortly after the supper hour,
had the misfortune to slip and fail! in
such a manner as to break two bones
above the ankle on one of his legs,
the mishap occurring as he attempted
to step over little ditch. DR.. T..
F. Shinnick was called and attended
to the injuries temporarily, after
which the gentleman was removed to
his home.

No One Would Eat Alum.

Here is some interes ting evidence
upon the alum baking powder subject !:
Prot. A. S. Mitchell of Milwaukee,
late chemist to the Wisconsin Dairy
and Food Commission, lin testifying
before the Congressional Committee,
which was collecting information TO
aid in the matter of pure food legis-
lation, said that there was no question
but the tendency of the chemical
impurities which would remain in
food made with alum baking powders
would be deleterious. AS to the claim
made by the manufacturers that alum
powders left no alum in the food, he
said he mad failed to find any such
powders which, in the ordinary pro-
cess of cooking, would not leave some
soluble alum in the food.
Doctor Schweitzer. the accomplish
ed professor of chemistry at the Uni
versity of Missouri, after a series of
experiments with bread raised with
alum baking powder, reported !:
Careful analysis of the bread thus
prepared shows a portion remaining
in the bread as such and unaltered. -
The fact that alum if taken with
food into the stomach would be injur-
ious is not questioned or disputed by
any one. As scientific evidence would
seem to prove that when food is raised
with alum baking powder some part
of the alum remains in the food, the
prudent course fro the housewife is
apparent.

Hicks September Forecast,

The month promises to come in
with areas of high temperature, low
barometer and storms eliminating on
the End. Look for a change to much
cooler with frosrs possible in the
north. A reactionary storm period is
probable from 9th to 9Th. A general
storm period is central on the 18th
with magnetic crises. Look for high
temperatures, severe electrical phe
nomena and much cooler weather to
follow. A reaetionary storm period
is central on the 18th, 18th and 10Th.
This period will carry the earth to
the center of it's autumnal equinox.
1t will also inaUgurate series of
storm and changes, on land and sea,
that will prove clear lines of denmark
alton between our summer and aut
umn. If West India hurricanes
should not appear before, they are
very apt to organize and begin their
progress south of our gulf coasts
about this time. But it will be pru-
dent to heed all indications of these
equatorial storms at all the Septem-
Der storm periods. We figure that
such storms will be heard from within
sixty hours of noon on the 18th. Dur
ing the same period many storms of
rain, wind and thunder are apt to Wis
it inland parts of the country general
Iy, with possible tornado here and
there. Within the limits named-six-
tv hours from noon on the 18th, seis-
mic throes and volcanic outbreaks are
among the phenomena to be anticipat-
ed Of course We mention these
things as probable in parts of the
globe where such are common. While
anv part of the earth may be visited
by them-the earth shivers especially
they reach their maximum of force
and frequency only IN weIl-defned
sections and countries. We mention
them more as a great, cosmic truth
than as warnings of danger. We
warn out readers that equatorial dis
turbances in the gulf region are more
than probable at this time. The
moon is in perigee, or nearest the
earth, On the 21st and this fact will
greatly increase the tendency to tidal
waves at this period. From Sunday
the 23rd to Wednesday the 18th is a
time of maximum storm probability.
Look for commlngling of tropical
and boreal conditions, bringing rain,
wind and thunder in some parts, with
possible sIeet and early spurts of snow
in the far north. A reactionary dis
turbance is central on the 10Th and
Both, causing low barometer and gen
eral change to storm conditions as
September goes cut. Watch the
events of this autumnal equinox.

REGULAR MEETING
OF CITY COUNCIL
Milk Ordinance Again Intro
duCed-iSSue Bonds to
Pay Bonds.

Despite the fact that yesterday WAS
primary election cay, a regular meet
! ing of the common council was held
| last evening and all of the aldermen
but two responded to the roll call,
with the result that considerable bus
ness was accomplished, the details for
which are cut somewhat short by the
Leader this morning owing to the ex-
ira work last night attendant upon the
extra work of getting report of the
primary election il the city.
Upon motion tie report of the fl
nance committee was tabled in refer
ence to the three extensions of the
water mains in the city. The plan
was not defeated, however, for sub
stitute report was made and adopted
to lay extensions as recommended and
to transfer 81, 600 from the general
fund to the water works fund for that
purpose, tina feature being where the
original report was faulty. The en-
tensions to be made are as follows:
One to the new plant of the Washing
ton Cutlery company, one on North
Fourth street and one on Jones street
between Sixth and Seventh. Acting
upon the report of the finance and
judiciary committees Interference to the
ordinance introduced at the last meet
ing, the committee recommended that
the same be tabled for the reason that
it was faulty, notifying the council
that new ordinance would be intro
duced to bond the city in the sum of
$40, 600 at four and one half per cent.
interest to pay the existing water
works bonds, which are now drawing
six per cent interest. The old ordi-
nance was tabled and the new one
adopted. 1t will mean a saving of one
and half per cent interest or about
81, 200 per year surely a good stroke
Of business.
The ordinance drafted and intro
duced by DIR. Werner governing the
sale of milk and cream in the city
came before the council in revised
form. Upon the motion of Mr..
Werner, the same was referred to the
committee on hospital and health and
Judiciary jointly.
A. j. Carlin rendered his resigna-
ton as supervisor of the Third ward.
The mayor announced the appoint
ment of Paul Giblin as his successor
the appointment being confirmed by
the council. Mr.. Carlin resigned for
the reason that he is to receive the
appointment as trustee of the Jetfer-
son county asylum to succeed the late
Vim. F. Quentmyer.
Alderman Werner called attention
to the fact that some of the saloon
keepers of the city were violating the
law in selling liquor to minors and
also that there were violations of the
posting law and recommended some
remedy. The mayor also made like
report, adding that he was Doing his
best to ascertain the identity of the
guilty parties. in reply to state
ment that it was difficult to readily
tell who the posted men are, DIR.
Hartwig advanced the idea that it
would be good plan to "post''
likeness of the topper. There seemed
co be determination on the part of
the mayor and some of the aldermen
to ascertain the identity of the guilty
parties and punish them. The mayor
and aldermen expressed the belief
that the violations were being prac-
ticed by only few of the saloonkeep-
arS.
