as it is evident to us our state officers
concerned when they consented to a
payment of one-half cash and one-nalf
check Our organization has reached
the highest point of labor organiza-
tion that ever existed in Iowa, as the
record shows, which denotes the hon
esty and businesslike way the otncers
have conducted the affairs of the con-
stitution and it certainly would be a
serious mistake to have them resign
at this time and place the organization
in new hands.
The writer shared the hospitality OF
Mr.. and Mrs. ]. r. Bucknell at their
home Sunday west of town for dinner.
They are royal entertainers, assisted
by their charming daughter, who spare
no pains to make their guests welcome
while at their home. Mr.. Daley, an
aged veteran of the Civil war, who
works in the mines, stays with them.
II was pleasure to meet him and Mr..
Bucknell and exchange old time rem
iniscences of the war. Mr.. Daley was
with Rosecrans during his raid through
Kentucky, while the writer was with
Bragg as correspondent for the Rich
mond Examiner on the raid from
Chattanooga, Tenn, to Nashville, then
to Louisville, KY, while Mr. Bucknell
was travelling the high seas and SNUG
Cling goods from Cardiff, Wales, to
the Confederate army. He made one
successful trip and on the second one
he was captured and held a prisoner
at New Orleans a short time. 1t was
a pleasure to US to meet and talk OF
the days gone by while we were young
and full Of yigor, and enjoyed our visit
richly with taem.

THE BUSINESS GIRLS FOOD

7 should be understood at the start
that the brain workers and those
whose duties prevent their taking
exercise should have only the
simplest, most easily digested foods.
The best meats are beef. mutton. and
poultry. Pork should rarely be eaten,
and veal but seldom. The mutton
should be well done. but the beef under
done. Fried things should always be
avoided by the girl who takes little ex-
ercise and who works In an office
Eggs cooked I'm any way except fried
are very good indeed, as are fresh green
vegetables, and, above all, fruit, which
should take the place OF pastry and
sweets.
The breakfast should be light II
should begin with fruit, either raw or
cooked; next a cereal, two soft-boiled
eggs and a few pieces Of whole wheat
bread.
This, with a cup OF coffee. is enough
for any woman. Il she carries out this
program each day, she begins her work
with food that is nourishing but easily
digested.

physician about them; but if it is an
ordinary corn it will readily succumb to

water and remove as much Of the corn
az possible. being careful.
Bind over It a Glove or garlic mace

for a week. and at the end Of that
time the corn will disappear. Should it
return, repeat the treatment A piece

Improving the Figure.

AWKWARD.-The urst thing to do Is
TO question yourself as to whether you
SIT properly. Instead of sitting down
in any sort Of fashion. as you say you
do. make It point to always sit well
back in your chair so that the weight
Of your body will rest upon the bones
designed for that purpose at the base
of the back; then let your shoulders
rest comfortably against the back Of
the chair and hold the head easily
erect. Such a position is not only the
most graceful. but is also restful and
permits one to breathe more freely
To relax properly, the body should be
in Il perfectly easy. natural position.
with every muscle relaxed. one should
sleep on the left side or righ, side, but
never on the back. Let the head be
thrown back upon a pillow which is not
too high Such position induces health
full sleep. which is one OF the prime
beautihers. Late hours and sleeping
on ones back are sure to produce
dreams and Nightmares. which are great
beauty robbers.
There is no more healthful exercise
for improving the figure than walking.
A correct dailv walk is certainly a
great aid to 9th and beauty. Re-

The business girls luncheon should
be as hearty as she cares for. but she
should choose soup instead Of coffee for

meats and vegetables, and always a

Child's Milk Teeth.

MOTHER-AlI of the first or milk
teeth are usually cut Dy the end Of the
second year. These teeth number twen-
ty in all. ten in the upper and ten in
the lower jaw. The first teeth should
be kept as scrupulously clean as per-
manent set
A soft toothbrush dipped in a solution
Of boracic acid and water should be
used night and morning as soon as the
child is past the infantile age of exist
ence.
When the second teeth appear, usu-
ally about the seventh year, they should
be carefully watched. and care should
be taken to see that they come through
in a healthy, regular condition. In case
Of any irregularity, a good dentist
should be consulted.
