force Sanitary Laws-Judseship Va
cancy Widely Discussed.

That the agitation in this city Tor
purer milk and meat, which has un-
questionably brought about a reform
in the marketing Of these food pro-
ducts, has extended to the country and
interested at least some of the more
wide awake farmers, is evidenced by
the number Of applications for the
testing of cattle that have been made
to veterinarians Of this city.
There is no law compelling the far
mer to have his cattle subjected to the
test, unless he markets milk or Its
products here, but many have done SO
and borne the expense, simply for the
purpose of determining for themselves
whether their herds are infected or
not.
Most OF those who have done so con-
tend that it is true economy, and their
action supports the theory that an ami
mai which is infected with tuberculosis
germs can contaminate an entire herd
by spreading the disease among the
animals.
Those who have asked for and re-
celved the test, and learned from 1t
that certain animals are infected. have
speedily got rid of those so infected,
and have either isolated them, or had
them killed.
This movement, which began last
winter when an ordinance was passed
in this city providing for the inspec-
ton Of all milk, cattle, and meat in the
city, was given wide publicity thru
the press. This publicity has aroused
at least part of the farming COM
munity to the realization Of the dam
gers to be avoided by this test of cat
tie for tuberculosis.
AS q result applications have slowly
but steadily been coming to the veter-
inarians of this city for tests, and the

Doctor Gains 20 Pounds on Postum.
A physician Of Wash, D. c., says Of
his coffee experiences:

periodical headaches which grew more
frequent until they became almost con-
slant. So severe were they that some
times l was almost frantic. was SAL
low, constipated, irritable, sleepless;
my memory was poor I trembled and
my thoughts were often confused.
'My wife, in her wisdom, believed
coffee was responsible for these ills
and urged me to drop 1t. I tried many
times to do so. but was its slave.
''Finally wife bought a package of
Postum and persuaded me to try it, but
she made it same as ordinary coffee
and I was Disguised with the taste. q
make this emphatic because I fear
many others have had the same ex-
perience.) She was distressed at her
failure and we carefully read the di-
rections made it right, boiled it full Is
minutes after boiling commenced. and
with good cream and sugar, liked it
it invigorated and seemed to nourish
me.
"That was about a year ago. Now
have no headaches, am not salloW,
sleeplessness and irritability are gone,
nv brain clear and my hand steady. I
have gained 20 pounds and feel I am a
new man.
IT do not hesitate to give Postum
due credit. OF course dropping coffee
was the main thing, but had dropped
it before, using chocolate, cocoa and
other things to no purpose.
postum not only seemed to act as
an invigorant but as an article of
nourishment, giving me the needed
phosphates and albumens. This is no
imaginary tale. 1t can be substantiated
by my wife and her sister, who both
changed to Postum and are hearty
women of about 70.

Salesman for Cedar Rapids Firm Gets
Money on Drafts.


What has every appearance OF being
a smooth scheme to defraud has come
TO light here as the result Of the visit
of travelling salesman known as j.
Sylvanus, who came to the city ten
days ago representing the LeFebure
Ledger Company. of Cedar Rapids
Sylvanus took orders for his company,
and incidentally confided to his CUSTOM
ers chat he was short of ready cash.
and asked to be obliged by cash on
certain sight drafts on his house.
To T. c. Cartwright, on whom Syl-
vanus had called at different times IN
recent years. the travelling man made
the request for cash, and was given $40
on q draft which, when sent to Cedar
Rapids by the bank, was returned I'M
honored Another draft for IS was
cashed by w. c. McCarten Of the Nc
Carten Plumbing Company There
may have been others, but these are
the only ones as yet discovered.
When the firm was written by Mr..
Cartwright, concerning its representa-
tive's action. the ledger company re-
piled that Sylvanus was not an en-
ploye Of the company. had nothing due
him, and consequently had no right to
draw drafts on the house. The firm
said different orders had been received
from Marshalltown and other points
by Sylvanus. and they had been filled
even tho Sylvanus was not an employe,
on the supposition that the firm would
be doing its customers favor.
