Doubt as to Spices.
There is some doubt also in the
minds Of the manufacturers, f not in
the minds OF any other persons, on the
matter of the law as it governs spices.
Until the pure-food law was signed
and became effective il was almost
impossible to buy pure spice of any
k nd in the market.
You can buy pure spices today, and
are more likely to get the pure
article than the impure, but there is
still some question as to the state
ments of mixtures that must be
put upon the labels of the packages as
they come from the sources of sup
ply.
1t is a fair assumption today that +
an article bears a label saying that it
is simon pure. the label does not lie.

the package is sold.

cally disappeared from the market

is just as good and just as pure as it

Man and Wife Fatten on Grape-Nuts
The notion that meat is necessary
for real strength and the foundation
Of solid flesh is now no longer as prev
alent as formerly.
Excessive meat eaters are usually
sluggish a part of the time because
they are not able to fully digest their
food, and the undigested portion is
changed into what is practically a kind
of poison that acts upon the blood and
nerves, thus getting all thru the sys-
tenn.
Il vas a heavy meat eater" writes
an Ills. man "and up to two years ago
was in very poor health. I suffered
with indigestion so that l only weighed
95 pounds.
Then l heard about Grape-Nuts and
decided to try it. My wife laughed at
me at first but when | gained to 125
pounds and felt so fine, she thought
she would eat Grape-Nuts too.
Now she is fat ard well and has
gained 40 pounds. We never have
indigestion any more and seldom feel
the desire for meat. A neighbor of

REV. JAMES GIVES ADDRESS.

Interests Marshailtown Women's Club
in Importance Of jamestown.
The program for the regular meet
ing of the Women's club, held Wednes-
day afternoon at the club rooms, was
in charge of the literature department,
Mrs. George w. Smith, chairman. 1t
opened with q most pleasing duet by
Misses Maybel French and Isabel
Mitchem, which was followed by Rev.
William Pence James address on the
settlement of Jamestown.
In order. that his hearers might not
misjudge him, the speaker explained
that the address which he had been
asked to give, was not original, and
had been compiled from many sources
for delivery before his own congrega-
ton, hence the prominence given the
Church of England, or Episcopal
church, as it is known in this country.
The underlying note thruout, was due
Justice had not been given to those
comprising the early jamestown settle
ment, and that even the historical
comparison Of 1t with the Massaclu-
sets colony vas becoming to be rec
ognized as unfair. h reason we
hear so little of jamestown, he ex-
planned, is because vents were not
chronicled in that settlement as they
were in the Massachusetts, colony.
An interesting comparison was made
OF the puritan Of the north with the
cavalier Of the south, and in regard
to our religious inheritance, he point
ed out that the stern principle Of the
puritan. lacking all joyousness was
happily blended today with the v
lier idea that one could be an earnest
worker in Gods cause, and yet APP
preciate and enjoy the beautiful things
Of life at the same time.
Despite the fact that the honor Is
generally attributed to Massachusetts,
Mr.. James stated on good authority,
that the Episcopal church, established
at Jamestown, was really the begin
ming of religion in the thirteen colon
les. Altho little is said about it, and
the handicap from the start by the In
dams hostility is overlooked, the Vir-
ginians' sacrifice for civilization and
Christianity was really greater by far
that made by Massachusetts,, he
said. In every settlement a church was
established, and religion in Virginia
today Is honored and revered as in
hardly any other state in the union.
Briefly explaining the present COM
parative weakness of the Episcopal
church, Mr.. James said that it was
due to the belief that only a bishop can
ordain a priest, and that because of
the parliamentary law in England, it
was SO long after the revolutionary
war, during which all the Episcopal
churches were conffscated, before a
could be secured for America
Only in Virginia and New York was a
Of the church left, and all its
since has been by hard work,
unaided.
The mex regular meeting will be on
January Is, and an announcement as
to the annual social day is to be made
later.

MUscATINE COUNTY BALKs.
Objects to Paying Expenses of Old
Soldier Sent to Insane Hospital.

According; to a letter received yes
terday from A. S. Lawrence, auditor
of Muscatine county, the county may
have some trouble in forcing Musca-
tine county to pay the expenses Of III.
r. Smith, a member of the soldiers
home from Muscatine county, who was
adjudged insane a short time ago and
sent to the state hospital.
The letter states that Smith was ar
raigned before the commissioners of
insanity Of Muscatine county, and was
found to be sane. Soon afterwards he
was sent to the soldiers home, and
very soon after reaching here he was
arraigned before the local board and
ordered sent to the state hospital. AS
he is a resident Of Muscatine county
that county was notified. The letter
from the county auditor says that on
its boards showing it declines to as
sumo the expense until it is shown
that it's finding was erroneous.
When Smith was arraigned before
the local board there was no question
of his insanity. He talked continually
of automobiles and other costly pres
ents and large sums of money that he
was going to give away.

ten of his nineteen carriers, who re.
ported for duty Thursday evening. Five
other boys reported likewise with tn,
consent of their parents. 1t was e
pected that some boys might molest
them, so members Of the editorial
force inc two fathers of the boys un-
d~ertook to escort them thru the crowd
Mr.. Norris and Mr.. Hughes put two
boys on the street car for outlying dis
tricts without mishap. Mr.. Norris and
Mr.. Wells each went out with a car
rier molested only by n crowd of thirty
or forty school boys who did nothing
more than yell and boot, but by the
time Mr.. flanagan started with his hoy
men were doing the attacking. Nine
of the fifteen boys went out with their
papers, but by the time -four had beer
set upon the other six were held in the
office and when by seven o'clock the
crowd of men had not dispersed, a de-
mand was made upon the mayor 70
have his police officers take the boys
home, which they did.
The T.-R. regrets the incident, but
the delivery of newspapers is not
worth e~ndangering children and until
it a be assured that a 1~2-year-old
boy is not to be set upon by a mob
the T.-R. will not ask any parent to
offer his child for this service at any
price. The papers will be delivered
to the postoffice.
The trouble was precipitated with
out warning. At the busiest hour Of
press time Wednesday four of the car
rier boys advised by the father of one,
intercepted the smaller carriers out
side the building, told them to strike,
took away their sacks and threatened
to lick them If they did not join.
Then one of the boys old Mr.. Hughes
to raise their pay 81 per month or
they would not carry. 1t seemed like
a joke and when Mr.. Hughes inquired
the lads, most of them said
that they wanted to carry but were
afraid. He then told them to go home
and he went to their parents the next
day.
Tho Question Of Pay.
T.-R. carrier boys have been paid
50 per month for over twenty years.
Just how the scale was fixed at that
price the present management does not
know, except thai SO cents a week
seems to be the usual price paid boys
who carry milk or drive COWS, and
many a boy carries papers in prefer
ence because 1T is only one trip a day
Of two and need last but one
hour. However, the question OF wage
has never been up with the present
management. Fathers and mothers
come into the office with the request
Cant you give my boy a 1ob?" When
we promise to put them on the wait
ing list for the next vacancy we are
thanked with the. remark: ~
don't care how much you pay, but I'd
have him doing something reg
ular than running loose on the streets"
and the result has been that boys
lave been carrying the T.-R. for gen
at that price. When the
management took charge the
,ity was covered by thirteen boys.
Since then the number has been in
to nineteen. so as to shorten
