IOWA'S GOOD EXAMPLE.
Has Made . Law Providing For UnI-

Has Made . Law Providing For UnI-
formlty In Municipal Accounts.
Iowa is setting IN example to hcr
sister states which they would be wise
to follow as expeditiously as possible.
She has recently put into effect law
providing for a uniform system Of mu-
nicipal accounting which. II properly
executed. will make 1t easy to see
whether municipal plants are paying
their way. II such law had been In
general operation fifteen years ago. It
Is probable that by this time the agi-
tatiOn for municipal ownership would
have entirely ceased. in view Of the
damaging facts that such reports
would inevitably have brought out.
Under the provisions Of this Iowa
law the state auditor Is required to
formulate and prescribe a system Of
municipal accounts. In preparing which
he shall be assisted by an advisory
committee Of municipal accountants.
So far rs practicable the latest and
most improved methods Of accounting
are to be adopted. and all cities and
towns are required to report annually
to the state auditor ON the forms pre-
scribed by him.
The auditor shall appoint ono or
more examiners Of municipal accounts
who shall ut least once In two years
report upon the financial conditions
and transactions Of all cities Of 5000
population or more and Of smaller
cities or towns upon request.

Winter Care of Hands.

Hands should be given special etten-
ton In cold weather. Chilblains and
chaps are injurious as well as painful.
By exercising the hands the circula-
ton is kept up. anl with the use Of 4
Few simple lotions and the precautiOn
of wearing warm gloves outdoors they
may be kept In very good condition
the winter through. A few drops of
spirits of benzoin In the water In
which they are washed will aid In
keeping them smooth. Equal parts of
glycerin and rosewater or glycerin
and distilled water we'll rubbed into
the skin at night are very healing.
Loose kid gloves from which the finger
ends have been cut should be worn
when lotion is used.
Lemon juice is one of the best rene
dies for whitening the hands. Vaseline
and lard Or olive oil are excellent for
softening the skin. Five drops of
carbolic acid to one ounce Of glycerln
and one ounce Of rosewater IS n sim
pie preparation for chapped hands.
Lemon juice Is good for taking tho
stain off the nails. Nightly appllca-
lions of vaselinc to skin about the
nails and pushing the cuticle back
with an orange wood stick Will keep
them shapely.

MUNICH ALUNACY,
By JOHN KENDRIcK BANGS.

The municipality owned electric light
plant Of Charlottesville. Ind. having
shown so called profit last year Of
S0,721, the trustees have just made q
10 per cent advance IN the charge for
street lighting. The probable reason
for this Is desire ON the trustees
part to increase this years profits to
an even $500. round figures being SO
much more satisfactory than angular
ones.
One of the pleasing features Of mu-
nicipal ownership. as shown In New
Zealand and Australia, Is the luscious,
juicy fairness 1t gives to the public
debt. That Of the Cnited-sometimes
called the Benighted- States Is less
than $12 per capita. but In New Zea-
land 1t Is 1886, In New South Wales
S267. and In Australians six states It
averages $291 per capita. 1t takes
genuine prosperity to increase n na-
TONS creditor debit-all the way

THE FARM HORSE.
Errors In Care During the Season 81
Light Work.

Errors In Care During the Season 81
Light Work.
With a great many farmers the WIN
ter season is one of comparative rest
for the farm horse. OF course there
are farmers who make 1t point OF
keeping the team busy all winter, but
even with these the work Is not what
1t is In the other seasons. During the
cold weather there is generally more
or less teaming, such as hauling wood.
Ice, etc. but the work Is not regular.
Then In grain and hay growing Sec
tions there Is considerable team work
to be done In getting this produce to
market. and there Is other work for
which team is required. but with all
this the horse is not called on to do
anything like what he has to In spring
and summer.
Winter Feeding.
But while the work for the average
farm horse Is not nearly as hard In
winter as In other seasons, n time OF
comparative idleness is by no means
the most agreeable to him or the best
for his health On the contrary, he Is
exposed to various Ills from which he
does not suffer during the season of
hard but regular work. One of these
Ills is Irregular and careless feeding.
During the spring and summer. when
the horse is working hard, he is regu
larry fed n certain amount Of grain and
n reasonable quantity OF hay. In win
ter the grain ration is cut down and
the hay Is increased. Some farmers
make the mistake Of feeding great
quantity OF coarse fodder through the
winter to the detriment Of the animal's
health. Others stuff their horses with
hay until they are entirely out Of cOndi-
ton for any kind of use Probably In
nine cases out OF ten the heaves are
brought Oh by the injurious method Of
feeding horses In winter.
Watering the Work Horse.
Another mistake Is the manner in
which the work horse Is supplied with
water Often the water Is offered the
horse when he wants to eat rather.
than drink, and because he refuses no
more is given him until the next regu-
lar time for watering. BY this time
he has become very thirsty and drinks
too much. says writer In Country
Gentleman. And In freezing cold
weather how many warm or take tho
