While the 2-cent fare law went into
effect at midnight last night and the
railroads will comply with 1t so far as
business within Iowa Is concerned,
none of the roads were prepared for
it and much trouble and inconvenience
will be felt by passengers, conductors
and station agents for the next few
weeks. The ticket agents have been
instructed to charge 8 cents per mile
on tickets to all points outside of Iowa
pending the publication of the new in.
terstate passenger tariffs which will be
sometime within six weeks. The
agents have been furnished only skel.
etonized tariff sheets for Iowa, mere.
ly covering their own roads so that
they can not sell tickets good on other
than their own lines. Thus 1t will be
necessary for passengers to stations
on road other than the one they start
on to purchase ticket at the starting
point to the junction point and there
purchase another to their destination
1t is expected that this situation will
be relieved within a few weeks by the
publication Of joint passenger tariffs
Have Had Four Months Time.
The railroads have had four months
in which to prepare for the new law
the measure having been passed Feb
%. While they claim that they have
been preparing for it as rapidly as pos
sible, it is stated by others that the
roads delayed the preparation until {
short time ago with the expectancy q
contesting the law.
Even the meager tariffs showing the
fares at 2 cents per mile between STA
lions on their own roads did not reacf
some of the agents until late yester
| dya. Some of the roads claim tina
the volume of work made it impossi
BILE to revise the tariffs in the fou
months and others claim that the de
lay is due to the printers, etc.
Des Moines, July 4.-The stock
holders of the Minneapolis & st. Louis
and Iowa Central railroads this after
noon filed suit in the federal court t,
enjoin the railroad companies from
putting into effect the Iowa two-cen
fare law. AS Judge Mcpherson wa
at Kansas City. a temporary injunc
| ton could not be procured today
1t is alleged In both petitions tina
| the two-cent fare law Is unconstitution
al in that the new rate is confiscatory
The compliments aver that if the ney
rate goes into effect the stakeholder
will suffer financially.

F4EREplTY IS NOT AL.
Physicians Now Believe Less In Trans
mission of Disease.

Medical men are coming round to
the view that it is the personal his
tory that is of primary Importance, or,
In other words, that mans own man
ner of life, his record of health, and
his circumstances should be more
carefully considered than the illnesses
that his ancestors died of. Dr. Rabag-
liati, medical examiner for insurance
companies, who is well known in the
profession which he adorns, and Of
high repute in the north Of England,
has devoted much thought to this
question Of heredity from life iusur-
ance point of view. In his opinion it
is not so much disease that is trans
mitted from one generation to an
other, but orr nization, or human
ity," as he expresses it. Any member
Of the human family may suffer from
any disease to which humanity is sub
ject, and when an individual SO suffers
1t is the cause of the ailment that
must be inquired into. Exposure to
this or that set of conditions brings
varying results. If the body Is exposed
to one set of conditions it will take
on govt; if to another, consumption;
If to a third, cancer; and SO on.

SOME WIVES ARE DIFFERENT.
Quiet Cynicisnn, or Good Honest RoW
(Which Is the Better?

Most men, said the man of expert
ence, think it must be awfully nice
to have wife who takes things as
coolly as Dave Potter's wife takes
them; but others, more discriminate
ing, prefer a good honest row to her
style of quiet cynicism. The way she
behaved the other day when she
found a letter in Dawes pocket from
a girl is an example of her method.
"I don't see,' wrote this girl, how
on earth I can ever live without you
Dawes wife read that gush, and a
lot more just like it, without ever turn
ing 4 hair.
well she said, quietly, that girl
Is fool. If she knew you as well as
I do she would be wondering how on
earth she could ever live with you
"And that, in the opinion of the dis.
eliminating few, cuts a whole lot
deeper than a common, everyday rum,
pus."

Either arrangement is good if well put
in and taken care of afterward. II
don't take much time to look after a
water plant Of this kind. 1t won't run
itself exactly, although it can be made
almost automatic in operation.
Pressure tanks are the newest and
most satisfactory when they are right
in every way. An old steam boiler
makes a good tank, but it must be
both water and alright. 1t must be
large enough to hold water for house
hold use for a week and still leave
air space enough to give the necessary
pressure. The water is pumped with
a force pump into the tank through a
pipe that enters at the bottom, thus
combining the air in the upper part of
the boiler shell tank. The water is
forced in at the bottom and taken out
from the bottom. When the air pres
sure gets too low to force the water
up to the highest water tap more air is
forced into the top of the pressure
tank by means Of a large bicycle
pump.
A boiler shell three feet in diameter
and IL to Is feet long would answer
the purpose very well. 1t should be
filed about two-thirds full of water
under a pressure of from 20 to 80
pounds. A little experience will soon
show the most desirable pressure. The
kind of water pump and and air pump
used will determine whether it is best
to pump the water against the air or
to pump the air against the water.

Such conveniences cost no more in the
country than they do in the city. They

PREPARE THIS YOURSELF
Tells How to Make the Best Blood
Tonic at Home.

For those who have any form of
blood disorders; who want new, rich
blood and plenty of it; try this:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half
ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce;
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces.
Shake well in a bottle and take in
teaspoonful doses after each meal and
at bedtime. Any good pharmacy can
supply the ingredients at small cost.
This is the prescription which, when
made up, is called ''The Vegetable
Treatment" by others, the Cyclone
Blood Purifier" It acts gently and
certainly does wonders for some peo-
pie who are sickly, weak and out Of
sorts, and is known to relieve serious,
long-standing cases of rheumatism
and chronic backache quickly.
Make some up and try it.
