 The new board of health held it's first meeting in the board rooms at the Police and Charities building last night. Dr. George E. Ober was re- elected president unanimously. He thanked the members for the honor and prefaced the work of the year by an address in which he outlined the duties of the members and commented on the position which this board occu- pies in the community Impure milk was one of the subjects he noticed in his talk and he promised that wi h the assistance of the board he would fol- low up the good beginning already made.
 Andrew Lawson. the new member Of the board made his first ar~earance last night
 Commissioner George Kelly brought up that old bugbear water in the gar bage collected and weighed to the cred 1t of the garbage contractors. Refer ence to the records showed that the bills for collection on rainy days were about $25 larger than on clear days An average of nine tons was collected on rainy days more than on others. Commissioner Kelly characterized the presence of water in the garbage as graft" President Ober said he talked with Contractor King who said it was not his business to separate water in the garbage cans from the other ma terial. Weigher Chaffee was instructed by vote of the board to use his judg ment and drain off the surplus water from the loads of garbage brought in before they are weighed. In the future the city weigher will make mental estimate of the precipitation on a rainy day and strike an average fair to the collector and also to the city.
 Milk and Meat Inspector Knapp re- ported that during December 61 sam ples of milk had been tested. Four of these were deficient in fat and four in solids. Of the eleven dairies visited, eight only, were in good condition.

Harman@ who handles the milk was notified oG the action.
 MT. Roth. who has handled the milk from Isaac Go1dstein's place in the same locality was notified to cease and he informed the board that he hal al- ready done so. Goldstein's milk will not be allowed to come into the city until he remedies abuses at his dairy.

WIDOW OF BOB
INCE:RSOLL. wins

The famous Andrew ] Davis will
case, In which several heirs living
near this city have figured more or
less, has been settled as far as the
litigation against relatives Of the late
Mr.. Davis is concerned With the rul-
ing of the United States supreme
court yesterday, the claim of the
widow Of the late Robert G. 1ngersoll
was satisfied for the immense sum OF
S13S,S1O with interest and costs.
Many proceedings at law have re-
suited from the will of Davis, the
wealthy Montana mine owner. One of
his heirs, Jefferson Davis lived at Sci
ma, and Andrew j. Davis, too, had in
his younger days resided in Van Bur
en- county. a. c. Steck was the only
Ottumwa attorney who was interested
in the n~S,>S.
me SUIT brought By Mrs. 1ngensell
grew out of contract held by niger
soil with some of the Davis heirs, in
which the latter were to pay 1ngersoll
the sum of 100000 for winning the
suit against the will. The case was
tried to jury and disagreement re-
suited Later it was compromised, and
the heirs endeavored to withhold from
Ingersoll his fee. The suit resulted,
and at his death the widow continued
the fight The action of the supreme
court yesterday is a signal victory for
Mrs. Ingersoll, who now lives in Bos'
ton.

Wheat juggling in the board-of
trade pits is responsible for wave
Of uneasiness throughout the bakeries
of the land, and what Is more serious
to the people, an unprecedented rise
In the price Of bread and kindred pro-
ducts of bake shops. In many cities
prices have already advanced astonish-
ingly, but thanks to the foresight OF
local flour dealers and bakery pro-
prietors, there Is possibility that OF
tumwans. will get through the tight
place without experiencing any change
at all.
The feeling among local bakers is
that the price Of wheat can not be
held up for very long period and
that within two or three months at the
otuside, the spasm will have worn
itself out and the market will again
assume normal proportions. There is
enough available -four in the city now
to run the bakeries for that period
without advancing the price of bread,
but in case the wheat market is still
soaring at the end Of three months, the
price Of the present sized loaves will
either be advanced or the loaves will
be made smaller
Dispatches from various sections of
the country report that conditions
elsewhere are much more startling
than here. In New York bread has adj
vanced to six cents a loaf and the, bak-
ers claim that the margin of profit at
that price is so small that they can
not run very long, twenty-five of 4v,
bakeries already having closed their
doors.
The Cincinnati bakers have protest
ed to congress against allowing gam
| bling with the staples of life and have
asked for a measure prohibiting the

SUMMER PROBLEMS.

Now that the days are gradual,
lengthening out, a vanguard to the
long hot summer days, and many
homes are in the nettlesome disorder
and turmoil Of housekeeping, that
disagreeable feeling that the season OF
arduous household tasks must soou
begin again asserts itself in many
homes.
Business men who manage the lar;
est establishments and who accom-
plish the largest volume of work in i
days time, depend solely on perfect
system about their work as an expe
dent. The logical thought that this
same system can and should be ap
piled to household duties is no new
one, but few women attempt it.
In tomorrow's special women's page
Wealtha A. Wilson presents busy
housewives with solution of the
problem and writes the directions in
snch a plain comprehensive style that
no reader can fail to be greatly as.
