Must Be Clean and Pure

Mr.. A. G.. Pike of Fort Scott,
state food inspector, visited Ga
lena yesterday and gave general
Instructions to the local grocery
dealers.
Strict orders were given out by
him that commencing with today,
all fruits, berries, ETC., shall be
kept on the inside of the store in
stead of being displayed in front,
for the reason that they are more
liable to become filled with para
sites and thus carry the infection.
He also gave instructions along
the line of keeping sidewalks and
stores free from filth and request.
ed that all goods. which are LA
BILE to absorb germs, be kept un-
der cover.
This is the first visit of the
food inspector to Galena, but he
will make regular visits to the
city in the future to see that his
orders pertaining to the pure food
law are carried out.-Galena

Tho Telephone rs a LsvsIsr

Have you ever thought what a
great leveler the phone is?
There is nothing royalty ex-
elusive or superior about this
great modern convenience which
the world does not now under
stand how it got along without
for over six thousand years.
Probably the telephone is the
last of modern utilities we would
be willing to surrender if we had
to give up any invention.
But it is not so much the con-
venience of the wire as its de-
mocracy that is now being con-
sidered.
The telephone demands no for
NAL introductions, and the presi-
dent of the United States is no
more sacred to the insistent
Hello" over the Bell Telephone
than the Office boy whose BUSH
ness it is to answer its impera-
tive rings.
You would never think of meet
ing some dignitary Of church or
state, or some great society lady
on the street, and addressing
them with a familiar Hello"
1t would be objectionable rude
ness, and yet that is what you do
daily when you use the telephone
and nothing is thought of it.
The Judge on the bench, the
governor in his Office, the busy
coupon clipper at his desk, the
over-worked clerk, the lady in
her boudoir. the artisan at his
lathe, are all slaves to the demo
cratic Hello" it matters not
who may be on the other end oil
the wire.
The person who would be
thrown out of an Office by the Of
fetal bouncer for daring to in.
trude, may secure the ear of the
most exclusive citizen, but the
exclusive citizen has the advant-
age of being able to hang up the
receiver if he does not wish to
continue the conversation beyond
the Introductory Hello"

DAMAGE AT LOWELL.
Sprina River Power C0Lnpa
ny Suffers From Flood.

The heavy rain on Monday
night of last week damaged the
cut off dam of the Spring River
Power company at Lowell. The
heavy concrete apron was washed
away and a large span in the
center of the dam washed out.
| Great blocks of concrete, weigh
| ing tons were torn out and wash
ed about like playthings, the
heavy wroght iron stays being
twisted and bent like so much
wire.
The water was several feet over
the road in the bottom and for
three days Lowell was isolated
from the rest of the world. The
roads were badly washed out, but
are BEND repaired.
Chief Engineer Samuel E. Gard
| is building a Golfer dam and will
repair the damage as fast as pos
sible. The main dam at the pow
err house came through the flood
intact, but it became necessary to
open all the sluice gates. The
rise of the water was unpreced'
ented, the river coming up three
or four feet in a few hours. The
damage will amount to several
thousand dollars. No damage re-
suited to the machinery and the
power plant continued to operate
aS usual.

young athletes who accompanied Weston
IN from the oity line said they had to do
some tail walking to keep up with him.
A crowd OF about 1900 people crowded

HAPPY OVER KAISER VISIT.
EmDerOr's Peace speech PIeases AL : DIdn't
Consult Throat Specialist.

Special Gable Despatch 10 The SUN.
LONDON, Nov. l4.-There is n chorus of
qualification among officials and the news
papers az London's reception OF the Kaiser
and his Majesty's speech.
Prime Minister Sir Henry Campbell
Zimmerman in a speech at Bristol reioiced
at the popular expressions Of friendship
and sympathy with the Kaiser and Kaiserin,
hailing them as an indication of the cement
ing Of peace.
A semi-Official prOnouncemsnt by the
Foreign Once declares the conviction tina
the Kaiser's visit will materially improve
the relations between the two nations.
The editorial articles in the newspapers,
which have often been the Kaiser's most
captious critics. admit the truth of his claim
hat he :ias pursued a policy OF peace.
Inquiries at Windsor Castle show that the
visit there of Or. Sir Felix Semon. the throat
specialist. was really to the Kaiser's ply
~sicians, and although he was formally
presented TO h Kaiser he was not con-
suited professionally. II seems to be true
that his Majesty's lhealth has markedly
improved since he left the cold raw air
Of Berlin. He is enjoying the mild English
November and spends hours in the woods
at Windsor shooting ~pheasants.
