New Process Feather Washing

The New Process Feather Wash
ing Co. is doing a good business
and good work in the Carroll build
ing opposite the JOURNAL Office. By
the effective method used in this
process feathers are thoroughly rem
ovated, and in reality made better
than new feathers.
Feathers, as they are plucked
from the fowl are always foul and
become fouler until they are puri-
fed of this foulness by some effec-
tive means. To the quill end of the
feather always adheres more or less
of grease and flesh. This animal
matter not only becomes an often
sive mass of corruption but breeds
moths and engenders disease germs.
The distinguishing feature of this
New Process of renovating is that
it entirely removes every vestige of
animal matter from the quill while
the feather is thoroughly washed
clean of all impurities and rendered
light and fluffy in the drying pro-
cess.
One will be surprised in watching
this washing to see the residue of
filth that is removed from the feath-
ers and seeing it he will never want
to lay his head on an unrenovated
pillow. The feathers are washed
in great volume of water, a rapid
ly revolving reel, operated by ma
chinery, beating out all the dirt and
removing all foulness. The drying
is done by steam, and chicken feath-
ers are made as light and fluffy by
this process as the best geese feath-
ers.

Taxes Published.

There should be a law for the
publication of lists of tax payers
and the amounts they pay each year,
such as the Sun is publishing for a
few towns. These lists need not
include description of the proper
ty aSSeSSed-a mans neighborS
know OF his property; the tax he
pays, however, should be put before
the community SO publicly that any
inequality in assessment will be
seen and remedied. Illinois does
this; Wisconsin should do it
Spring Valley Sun.
The JOURNAL has been in favor
of the publishing of the taxes and
names as suggested above but when
we once attempted it a great many
people opposed the method but all
whom we interviewed agreed that
the assessments should be publish
ed. We think it would be better to
publish the names of property own
ers and the amount for which they
are assessed. This should be done
as soon as the assessor completes
his work in May or June and before
the board of review meets. MANY
property owners do not know at
what figure their property holdings
are assessed until they pay their
taxes and these often think they are
disseminated against as compared
with property owners adjoining
them. The tax a man should pay
is determined upon the amount of
property assessed against him and
if the assessment is published the
relative amount of tax each man
should pay is readily reckoned.

EYESTRAIN AND HEADACHES.
If you are subject to headaches
and nervousness good optical ad-
vice should be taken at once. Many
persons have eyes which differ
slightly in strength, and the small
but constant strain causes head
aches, nervousness and irritability.
Half the pleasure of life is lost,
and the earning power diminished
by defective eyesight. The man
with spectacles is often better
workman than the man without.
Spectacles had ought to be worn
whenever the eyes are weak and
easily tired. Whenever the eyes are
odd. Whenever objects at a dis
lance are not seen clearly.

A Cheese Factory.

A meeting of the farmers in the
vicinity of River Falls is called, to
meet in the City Fire Hall, Saturday
afternoon, Jan. &c, TO consider the
advisability of establishing a cheese
factory here. This is a good move.
Farmers about here could not in
augurate a scheme that would more
likely rebound to their advantage.
Dairying is a profitable industry.
The demand for dairy products is
constant and the supply incomplete.
Cheese making should certainly be
even more profitable than butter
making. Cheese is very high at re-
tail and the demand for it is so
great that sufficient time is not per-
mitted for the cheese to ripen to the
best advantage as food. 1t is call
ed for by the public with such per-
sistence that dealers are obliged TO
put it on the market while green.
A York State dairyman says he can
make cheese at profit by selling
it at six cents pound. A quantity
of milk that will make one pound
of butter will make three POUNDS Of
cheese. The wholesale price of
good cheese in the Chicago market
is Is cents pound. You know
what the retail dealer charges.
There are in this state 1850 cheese
factories. Nearly every farming
community except this has one.

The wrecking of railway trains, in
many cases with appalling loss of
life, is a common newspaper an
nouncement lately, The increase
of these disasters is generally the
result of two causes; first, the enor-
nous increase of railway traffic,
and secondly, and partly result of
this increase, faster trains. The
community clamors for the moving
of freight more rapidly and travellers
want to get there" as quickly as
possible. The railway managers,
in sympathy with this demand, urge
on the traffic and this aggravates
the confusion and disastrous conse-
quences. How far legislation and
government control could effect bet
ter conditions is of course specu-
lative, but it certainly seems that
rapid trains should be prohibited.

The pure food law went into eff
feet the first af the month. The law
affects almost everything that is Of
fered for sale as a food or drink.
Commercial food stuffs must be
honestly labeled. Candy must not
be colored with aniline dyes. Gran
ulated sugar will not be SO white as
it has been for the law forbids the
use of blue vitriol in bleaching it.

The United States Senate on the
18th instant passed a service pen
sion bill affecting all veterans who
served not less than three months
in the civil war. 1t gives a pension
of $12 a month to all veterans over
sixty-two years of age; Is dol
lars month to those over 70 and
$40 a month to those over Is, but
no man can draw a pension under
two laws. The bill prohibits fees
to attorneys. The house will un-
doubtedly concur in adopting the
measure.

FOOLED THE PREACHER.
A Doctors Brother Thought Postum
Was Coffee.

A wise doctor found out coffee was
hugting him, so he quit drinking it.
He was so busy with his practice,
however, that his wife had to write
how he fooled his brother, a clergy
man. one day at dinner. She says:
Doctor found coffee was injuring
him and decided to give Postum
trial. and we have used it now for
four years, with continued benefit. In
fact. he is now free from the long
train of ills that follow coffee drink
ing.
ITO show how successful we are
in making Postum properly l will re-
late an incident At a dinner we
gave. Doctor suggested we serve
Postum instead of ordinary coffee.
Doctors brother, Clergyman, sup
>nosed it was old fashioned coffee and
remarked, as he called for his Sec
ond cup: IF you do preach against
coffee, see you haven't forgotten now
to make it.
This goes to show that well-made-
fu11v boiled-Postum has much the
flavor and richness of good coffee al
though it has an individuality all It's
own. A ten days trial will prove that
# has none of the poisonous effect OF
ordinary coffee, but will correct the
troubles caused by coffee. There's
reason" Name furnished by Postum
