Contrasting present day customs
with those of the past, the Des Moines
Tribune says: Modern virgins drink
whisky from TASKS when they are
buggy riding, and then papa kills some
one, and jury says he's a good fell
low and it's all right. The old-fash-
toned virgin didn't drink whisky at all,

"The people have a solemn duty to
perform in the selection of United
States SENATOR" insists the Carroll
Herald. The choice will be made on
its solid merits, and we look for little
sentiment In the process. If w. B. AL
lison can do more for the state and
nation than A. B. Cummins he ought
to be retained. If, on the other hand,
A. b. Cummins can do more than the
veteran now holding the office. he

looked upon as irreverential, irrever-
ent or sacriligious to weigh the claims
of Senator Allison on their actual mer-

age he is no longer able to render the
highest efficiency, and it is thought

the National Skating/As took
place last night and adjourned without
action on the communication from the
Amateur Athletic Union notifying
skaters that the Americans who COM
peted in the Canadiap meeting at Mon
treal had been disqualified. The meet
ing simply voted to acknowledge the
receipt of the mfssive. Imme mediately
after the meetiug the element in the
association which is supporting the
Amateur Athletic Association held a
conference In which a formal call for
a meeting on February 26 was issued
by Secretary F. M. Clark. Clifford
Dunn, one of the directors of the asso-
citation. said:
I'VE will make a fight at a regular
meeting on the clear-cut issue whether
we are to stand by the Amateur Ath-
letic Union alliance oFfnot. Every one
of these men who competed at Montreal
will be disqualified If the association
is to continue"
DR.. D. II. Slayback of the association
said of his side of the controversy:
You may take it from me that we
are going to run skating and we are
not going to have any outside inter-
ference. We know what is right and
we have always stood for pure amateur

FRENCH PEOPLE ARE
VERY FOND OF GOOD BEER

Producers

Concerning the use of beers in
France. particularly for the west and
southwest, Consul G. H. Jackson Of La
Rochelle writes that IL would seem that
the possibilities for introducing good
beera1 unlimited
This is due to the fact that French
people are fond OF beers. The French
product is generally poor in quality
and outside of the few large cities in
France there is no German beer sold
and even in cities of $4,000 to $4,000
there may be only one cafe" where
German beer is sold 1t would hardly
be advisable to secure a large number

to have central agents at Havre. Bor-

LIME PREVENTS POTATO ROT

German papers publish a method to
prevent potatoes in cellars from rot
ting, on which Consul General Guen-
ther of Frankfort reports: 1t is claimed
that the potato fungus causes rotting.
This fungus, IL present on some pota-
toes in the cellar, spreads to other
potatoes and causes rot. A solution of
one pound of chloride of lime dissolved
in twenty FIVE gallons of water is. used
for washing the potatoes by means of a
broom. They are then spread out to
dry Through this procedure the spores
of the fungus are killed.

IOWA CITY, Iowa. Sept. 22.-Miss Katie

imprisoned here, who endeavored to burn
and tear up her little fortune of, $44O0 is

fuses to eat a bite provided at the Mercy

to the surgeons and nurses in charge.
DIES MOINES-Mrs ]. NJ. Shankland,
1905 Woodland avenue, is suffering from
peculiar case of arm poisoning. A short
time ago her arm began to swell without
any apparent cause. The poisoning was
finally traced to the coloring matter In a
calico dress she had worn.
Des Moines has a real yellow peril.
Swarms of caterpillars have struck the
city. There seems toS be nothing more
rare for the caterpillar at this time of the
year than to dangle on silken web on
the tree branches and eat the very heart
out of the leaf. These caterpillars are In
every tone or shade of yellow and are
pretty, but they are not the kind of worms
to inspire confidence from the person
whose tree they eat.
