Iowa is thrifty state, Atlantic u

average. How comes 1t that stranger

borhoods and carry away thousand
dollars or so on his assertion that he
is able to do impossible things? The
probabilities are that the young farmer
wouldn't have trusted his nearest

Every Man His Own Doctor.

The average man cannot afford to
employ a physician for every slight all
ment or injury That may occur in his
family, nor can he afford to neglect
them, as SO slight an injury as the
scratch of pin has been known to
cause the loss of a limb. Hence every
man must from necessity be his own
doctor for this class of ailments. Sue
cess often depends upon prompt treat
ment which can only be had when
suitable medicines are kept at hand.

the market for many years and enjoy

A CHANGE OF HEART

y
"Some people change their minds:
fools never" The above quotation is
not literal, neither do we know that
it is wholly applicable to the case at
hand The writer Of this article does
not claim infallibility on any subject,
consequently he is willing to acknowl-
edge that sonnet Kings he has advocat-
ed in the past may not have been
wholly for the best. He admits with
no reluctance whatever, that he has
been mistaken somewhat in his views
on the liquor question, for instance.
He is not going to turn temperance re-
former; he dies not believe the
present Iowa liquor law is the best
way to handle the traffic; he is not go
ing to join any enforcement league;
he is not going to prosecute anyone
who is in the liquor business Illegally;
but he does believe that liquor, in any
form, is a curse to the man who drinks
it; to the man who sells it, or to any
one who has anything to do with it in
any manner. So far as the writer is
concerned, he has raised his voice and
his pen for the last time in the interest
OF liquor selling.
Those who have read this paper for
many years will no doubt be astonished
at this statement, but we have been
convinced that any individual who
drinks liquor, or who abets in the sale
of liouor, injuries both himself and the
public. One of the worst curses that
can befall any man is to form the
LIQUOR habit. Liquor Is shortening
more lives. destroying more property

NAMING THE BABY
(Story City Herald.)

NotOly WY A1CIoIu.J
Some time since new baby arrived
at a home in this city, and when the
little 5-year-old brother was sent on
an errand to one of the neighbors
few days afterward the good lady, of
course had to make the usual remarks
about the gladful event. 81 under
stand, Johnny" said She that you
have little baby at pour house."
Eyes, ma'am," was the pleased reply
of Johnny. HE has been there nearly
four days now. well, when he gets
older you must bring him over to see
me-" returned the neighbor lady. "By
the way, has he been named yet?'
mo, ma am" answered the youngster,
"but guess there will be something
doing pretty soon, for when I left,
father was looking over the list of
presidents, mother was going thru the
Bible, and the nurse was hunting
around in history of the United
States.'

WATCH THE SLAUGHTER HOUSE.

The refusal of the packers to buy
cows and heifers except subject to
postmortem inspection has opened a
profitable field to the country butcher
and slaughterer. The meat markets
of the interior have been buying their
meats from the packers but under the
present conditions will find 1t profitable
Ito slaughter for their own trade. Con-
sequently there will be thousands OF
butcher cattle killed In small slaughter
houses where none were killed until
the packers refused the cows.
This fact should suggest to city
boards Of health and city physicians
the necessity of strict local inspection
Of slaughter houses and watchfulness
regarding the kind of animals slaugh-
tered, If not of a scientific post mortem
inspection. Every boy who crossed the
field past the old time slaughter house
on his way fishing will haYe dis
tinct recollection of It's chief claim to
notice. tuberculosis is common, we
are assured, in the herds of the coun-
try. II there is one place whence filth
and neglect may scatter death most
generally and effectively 1t is the
slaughter house. And how many city
health boards have seen to 1t that these
killing places have been inspected or
that a competent inspector and one in
authority has made round of the
dairiese It is we'll enough to harry
the citizen who neglects his ash pile,
he deserves marrying. but the danger
of an unsightly, ash heap in an alley
is as nothing to the deadly character OF
a dirty slaughter house hidden away
in a back field and the killing and mar
keting for food of animals that may be
diseased.
II the little slaughter houses are to
regain their old time activity then the
health boards should get busy. They
should get busy whether or no. The
dairies and the killing places should be
subjected to strict supervision all the
time.
