The legislature seems to have
needed a censor or copy-reader OF
something of the sort. A law intand'
cd to facilitate the movement Of stock
reads that railroads "shall transport
the same in q period Of time not less
than one hour for each 10 miles Of the
entire distance" 1t is presumed that
this is to prevent Earring the flesh of
the animals by excessively swift
travelling. II freight train should
run as fast as 20 miles an hour and so
be less than one hour going ID miles

dishearten Frank but caused him to
quit farming ana 60 into business.
He together with his brother-in-law,
H. Asling, bought out the Woodbne
Hardware Co. at Woodbine. After
several successful years Of business
here he sold out and located at
Navarro and engaged in the lumber
and hardware business. His success
at this place again shows his honest
business principles, his integrity and
square deal methods. He built up
large and prosperous business here,
ever on the lookout to give his
patrons the very best that was to be
had and always ready to serve and
help his fellow men in every way
possible. He had the confidence Of
everyone who came in contact with
him and to meet him was to be his
friend. His untimely death came un-
expected and as shock to the COM
munity as well as to his friends and
relatives. All that medical skill
and loving care could do was done
for Frank, but to no avail. His time
was up and even in the prime of
manhood and as we stand mourning
at his grave we ask, why is it that
one SO useful to his fellow citizens
and his community, so much loved
by his family and friends, SO honest
and upright, SO respected by every
one, should pass in the prime OF
lifep But those who we're at his bed
side in the last hours Of his life have
the satisfaction Of knowing that
Frank was ready and willing to go
and meet his Master. He leaves to
mourn a young and loving wife and 2
children, Alva IL years and Lillian
years old for whose future needs their
loving father has well provided.
His passing was great loss to his
fellow citizens. His place in the
community where he lived will hard
ly be filed again. A FRIEND.

his wife IL not one whom no can trust
to making her way socially. Not nee

influence Of women In statecraft we

pose Of determining the hygienic con-
ditions Of books that have been used a
great deal by the people. With the
dirt gathered from such books, some
Of which was known to include tuber'
culosis bacilli, experiments were made
ON guinea pigs. In the case OF books
used but two years. no result could be
noticed, but the refuse collected from
particularly soiled books. that had
been in circulation from three to ok
years, did produce an effect. Attempts
to destroy the bacilli By sterilization
through formalin vapors failed; but
the books themselves suffered to such
an extent that many were practically
spoiled. In view OF this fact tho city
authorities have decided to abstain
from further disinfectng experiments.
In conjunction with the city medical
society and the police department, 1t
has now been decided periodically to
