Too Personal.

There Is druggist Of general &C
quaintance who has the somewhat fri
tating habit Of assOciating personal ref
erences and recommendations with his
wares. A short time ago crusty Gus
toner asked for a certain toothache
cure, and as the druggist was wrap
ping up the vial he remarked In a
patronizing way: ~ think you'll find
this very satisfactory. 1t cured tooth
ache of mine last Sunday" Then the
customer asked for a cake of q certain
brand Of soap, and the smiling shop
keeper replied: well, we don't keep
that any more. But this is very SUI
perior article" presenting a shiny,
scented box. my wife uses it and
says It's the finest soap made" "In-
deed" said the customer sarcastically,
"and suppose IL l asked for rough on
rats you would say you had admins
tered 1t to your mother-in-law with
most satisfactory results. "-Argonaut.

To Keen Money at People. Credit.

1t is understood that the Iowa AS
ISOLATION of County Treasures is ripe
for asking the legislature to enact a
law that will govern the matter of
putting the county funds on deposit
at interest and that will take the
matter out of their hands in a
measure At least that will relieve
them of some of the embarrassment of
being obligated to banks of their
county for their election.
1t is said that it cost one Polk coun.
ty treasurer $40, 900 to get elected to
the office. 1t cost another So, 500.
That is to say that much money was
spent for their election, but none or
at least little of it came out of their
pockets. The banks of Des Moines
put up the money, it is said, and, in
consideration of this, and also in con-
sideration of the fact that these same
banks go on the security bond of the
county treasurer they get the public
funds without interest.
The agitation started some time age
with the enactment of law directing
that the funds of the state be de-
posted at interest. This and the fact
that the law provides that the funds
of the state shall be deposited only in
the banks at Des Moines takes the
state funds out of politics. The coun-
ty funds in every county in the state,
the city funds in every city and the
school and township funds in every
township and school district are still
source of contention and are the
only question. practically, that is in.
volved in the election of these treas
urers.
In addition to the people losing the
interest from the use of their money
the stockholders of the banks are ou
because of the use of the funds of the
banks in politics, the banks on the
losing side always icing ont the
money they have advanced for the
campaign.
A part of this evil will be cor
rected, no doubt, during the cam
paigns to come by the fact that the
last Legislature enacted a law prohi
biting under penalty any corporation
using any part of its funds for politi

are not incorporated over those thai
are. 1t is likely that the next legis
lature will be asked to abolish the
offices of school and township trea
surer and provide that the county
treasurer shall be the disbursine
officer for those funds. -Des Moline:

WRITE ON BOTH SIDES.

A new ruling on postal cards has
been made by the department at Wash
ington. winch permits writing on both
sides, it is as follows:
! For years Americans and others
have been sending to the United
States from foreign countries postal
cards and post cards, private mailing
cards, with messages written on the
front as well as on the back of the
cards, although in this country this
advantage has been denied the users
of government postal cards. Some
months ago the United States postal
laws and regulations were amended,
so as to give that privilege to buyers
of post cards, but such concession was
not made applicable to postal cards.
In order to remedy this inconsist-
ency, and TO prevent any further con-
fusion and annoyance to the public,
Postmaster General Meyer Friday pro-
mulgated an order, effective Aug. l.,
1907, providing that the face side Of a
postal card may be divided by a ver-
tical line placed approximately one
third of the distance from the left of
the card the space to the left of the
/ line to be used for message, etc. :,
the portion to the right to be used for
the address only.
| A very thin sheet of paper may be
attached, if it completely adheres to
the card. and such plaster may bear
both writing and printing. Adver-
tisements, illustrations, or writing,
may appear on the back of the card.
and OH the left third of che front.
Postal cards hearing particles of
glass, metal, mica, sand, tlnsel or
other such substances. are declared to
be unlawful, except when enclosed in
envelopes with proper postage affixed.
or when treated in such manner as
will prevent the Objectionable mater
ials from being rubbed off or injuring
the hands of persons handling the
mails.

Gambling in Mexico.

4 The first day we rode on the street
cars in Mexico City our attention was
attracted to the careful disposition of
the slips resembling the American
transfer. which the conductor gave
each passenger, says Ruby Damien
baum in an article on Mexico in The
Housekeeper for August. We soon
learned that every street car slip in
Mexico is numbered, and entities the
holder to chance at the monthly
premium in the lottery-in fact, every
street car ticket is lottery ticket.
The Mexicans are born gamblers. No
matter how poor they may be, feast
days and fast days are spent in gamb-
ling. and hundreds Of persons make
their living selling lottery tickets on
the public thoroughfares of Mexico
City.

H. r. Wright, Commissioner

From Clarion, Iowa, comes this
jolly piece of news:
SpuIned by his wife and daughter,
turned from his home like a tramp,
and arrested by the town marshal,
Stephen Mayhem is wondering
whether the joke is on him. Mary
hew. who is go years old, stepped into
barber shop in Bows and had his
long white leard shaved off. He
thought it would be a good joke on
his family. He came over to Clarion,
where his wife has been staying with
a daughter. Mrs. Lee Stewart, and at
the door asked for something to eat.
They turned him down. He was per-
sisent, and his wife and daughter
slammed the door in his face. Mary
hew forced his way in and, while his
daughter was calling for the town
marshal over the phone. the old boy
sidled over to his wife. put his arm
about her. and gave her a gentle
squeeze. That was the limit. His
wife grabbed him and kicked him out.
He had gained an entrance through
another door when the town marshal
appeared and arrested him. 1t took
Maryhew the rest of the daV, with
the assistance of the Bows barber, to
prove his identity.

For Pure Cream.

The statutes of this state authorize
a fine of not less than $50 nor more
than 800 for the sale, purchase. or
use of any unclean. unhealthful,
adulterated, or unwholesome milk or
cream to be converted into any pro.
duct of human food.
1t is made the duty of the Dairy
Commissioner to enforce this statute,
and creamery managers, cream pur.
chasing agents and producers Of milk
and cream are therefore warned that.
in every case where evidence of viola
tion of this law can be secured, this
department. will cause the prosecution
of both the seller and purchaser of un-
clean or unwholesome milk or cream.
The Commissioner and his assist.
ants are constantly investigating the
quality of cream at the creameries,
the receiving stations, and while en-.
route by rail or otherwise, and the
law will be enforced as vigorously
and completely as possible.
The producer of bad cream. even
though it is salable, loses money; he
causes immensely greater losses to
other producers whose better product
, is contaminated by his bad stuff; and
he causes still greater losses to the
state as Whole because the reputa
tion of the state suffers. These losses
are inexcusable because the production
of good milk and cream is compare
lively easy matter. There is neces
sary only cleanliness, low tempera
lures, frequent delivery.
So far as possible this department
will insist that
/. Hand separators shall be washed
Immediately after each time they are
used. This is extremely important.
Cream must be cooled before mixing
with cold cream.
Cream must be held at low tenn
perature in cold water both summer
and winter.
Cans in which milk or cream is de-
livered must be clean.
2. Cream must be delivered at least
every second day in summer and every
third day in winter, and must, wher
delivered, be clean and wholesome as
required by the statute.
Cream that is sweet and clean and
of high test is worth about three cents
per pound of fat more for butter max.
ing purposes than cream that is Ole
and sour and of low test. This de.
partment endorses the principle Of
paying for cream on grade and urge:
its general adoption both by the cen
trailer and the local creamery opera
tor. The principle is not only right
from business standpoint, but III
practice will tend to better cream anC
greater profits for producer and manu-
facturer of dairy products.
Respectfully,
H. r. Wright. Commissioner.
