stopped drinking.
Word of the wonderful woman
reached neighbors, and around
Margaret's kitchen stove was start
ed cooking class. Ten of them
watched Miss Gibbs and learned
rapidly.
II don't know what to feed my
baby" one mother told her. "He
can't eat pork. and he doesn't seem
to like corned beef or tea"
Miss Gibbs taught the mother
what to feed her baby, and now
he's healthiest in the neighborhood.
Speaking as if to housewives,
Miss Gibbs said:
when you plan your meals for
day it is wise first to decide how
to divide the money. Take care of
the children first and set aside
money to give them milk, even If
you cannot have the greatest va
riety of other foods. Milk is a
food in itself, and the best one for
children. Then decide how much
you can spend for meat.
when you buy a definite
weight test it and know whether
you are getting your moneys
worth. Protect yourself in this
way and your money will go farth-
er. Remember you can save money
if you buy in quantities. When you
get your money at the end of the
week buy as much of the weeks
food supply as you can.
Sugar, flour, tea, eggs, dried
fruits. butter, rice, oatmeal and
many other things can be bought
cheaper this way.
Cheap food is the food that
gives the most strength for the
least money. For example: Pota-
toes are often thought to be cheap
food, but 10. cents worth of pota-
toes will not give nearly so much
strength as 10 cents worth of ce-
reals or bread.
Your body is like fire, always
burning out. The main reason for
eating is to keep your engine go
ing. Food keeps the fire alive.
Food that does not keep you we'll
and make you strong is not good
food.
Always buy your milk from a
clean place, and keep it covered in

MILLIONS OF
ACRES YET TO
Be RECLAIMED
WONDERFUL GROWTH OF THE
IRRIGATION MOVEMENT, As
TOLD BY PRESIDENT BAR
STOW.

An illustration of the growth of
interest in land reclamation was
given last evening by George e.
Barstow, president of the national
irrigation congress. With DR.. w.
]. MCGEE he was a guest of honor
at a banquet rendered at Daven-
ports by the Spokane board of
control having in charge arrange
ments for the coming irrigation
congress in this city.
President Barstow mentioned the
fact that II delegates representing
four states and territories attended
the first irrigation congress, held in
1892. This year more than 1900
delegates will come to Spokane,
representing not only the United
States but foreign countries.
The president outlined the inter-
national Importance of the work
involved in the retaining of co.
100000 arid acres in this country,
with which are included other mat
tiers of great public interest, in
Guiding forest and water conserva-
ton.
DIR. MCGEE devoted his address
largely to irrigation topics. Both
speakers promised all possible aid
in making the Spokane congress
the greatest in the history of the
movement.
Other speakers were Senator
Hutchinson and Representative
Edge of this city, who with other
members of the Spokane delega-
ton were active in securing the
state appropriation of 100000 for
the congress here.
r. Insifger, chairman of the SpO.
kane irrigation congress board, pre-.
sided, and Mayor Pratt welcomed
the visitors. Brief talks were
made by a number of prominent
Spokane business men.

NEW YORK, June 1S.-A woman
worker in the tenements has been
saving the lives of hundreds of or
phan children by teaching them
how to be good cooks. She is Miss
Winifred 8. Gibbs of the visiting
staff of the New York Association
for Improving the Conditions of the
Poor. Miss Gibbs has worked out
the problem of cheap living.
Any small family can live on
from 10 to Is cents a day each. she
has found, If the right materials
are, bought for the table and the
right use is made of them.
She has given the result of her
experience to a correspondent of
The Press.
1T is not the most expensive
food that is the best" says she.
During the wreck of the liner Re.
public the stokers had to be fed,
as 1t was their work that kept the
ship afloat and the passengers
alive.
$50 the cabin passengers had to
share their fine beefsteaks and
poultry with the stokers. After a
day of this fare the stokers were
unable to do their work as they
had with coarser food. Wholesome
food will do a family more good
than fancy cooking"

FINANCIAL DRAIN TOO GREAT.
BeImond and AIgona Unable to Longer
Support Baseball Teams.
c.aae;ol u rni.,.l. oan,,ll;nnn


Iowa Falls Aug. 2.-Semi- profession
al baseball seems to be travelling a
rather rocky road. and several towns
in the northern part of the state that
haze been supporting paid teams have
decided that the game is too swift. fl
nancially, and decided to quit. Among
these are the Belmond and Algona
teams both Of which made a good
record, but the drain or the pocket
books of the home fans proved too
strenuous. The Belmond team cost
$500 to try the experiment. Buffalo
Center, however, is willing to take a try
at it, and $500 has been raised there
to put a. team of paid players in The
field. 1t seems that the games fail 10
draw the patronage they should, and
this results in a deficit that the pro-
moters have to put up. The Union
team claims to be near the top of the
list among amateur ball team of Cen
trail Iowa. The Luverne team, which
has been purchased by Clear Lake, has
been defeated twice by the Union team,
and as Luverne defeated Humboldt, the
champions, the Union team feel that
they come near holding a splendid place
among the amateur teams of this part
of Iowa.

Mason City. Aug. with hundreds
OF citizens as excited witnesses, men,
bers of the police and fire departments
tore down most of the Keeney livery
stable on East Fifth street under the
direction OF Mayor Kirschman at 6: 30
Saturday evening. S. w. Keeney, the
proprietor of the place had defied the
mayor regarding the enforcement of a
city ordinance governing the rebuild
ing of burned buildings of wood within
city fire limits and Kirschman to use
MS own words, put on his fighting
clothes and Showed him"
Several weeks ago Keeney's stable
was practically destroyed by fire and
the owners of the building, E. e. Pratt
and DR.. Stella Ma. m, were paid in
surance for total loss They expected
keeney to leave the location but he
refused to do so and said that he would
stay until his lease ran out even if
there was no roof to the place. In a
few days, however. he started to re-
build the barn and Mayor Kirschman
mad to order the work halted three
times before Keeney obeyed. Then the
matter was forgotten about and when
the authorities thought about the affair
again they We're surprised to notice
that keeney had succeeded in rebuild
ing the stable during tiAe early morn
ms hours between and o'clock. Then
Kirschman ordered that the rebuilt
portion be torn down and notified
Keeney and the owners that If the
demolition had not been accomplished
before o'clock on the night of July
30 he would tear it down himself, and
he did
When the mayor and his officers APP
peared at the barn the big crowd
cheered. Keeney warned the officers
not to touch board or a nail OF the
barn but no resistance was made fur
Their. The big force of men Immediate
ly began the work ordered by The
mayor and they neatly piled the boards
removed at the side of the building.
Only a shell of a structure now re-
mains. On the day preceding the even
ing of the demolition Mr. Keeney had
had the structure painted. He has taken
legal advice in the matter and prom
ises to sue for damages each person
concerned in the destruction of the
barn. Public sentiment is almost un-
animously in backing the mayor in his
fight for the enforcement of the city
ordinances and the crowd was delighted
at the work of tearing down the re-
built portion of the barn for a great
cheer went up when the work was fin
ished.

BOARD OF REVIEW RULING.
Held That It Has the Right to Assess
Workino CapitaI.

Special to Times Republican.
Iowa Falls. Aug. 2.-The courts have
just rendered a decision that is of in

state The case arose from an appeal
from board of review that raised an
assessment of a man engaged in the
coal and ice business. 1t was claimed
that the board exceeded its authority
in assessing the working capital of the
plaintiff. The court holds that the po-
sition of the plaintiff was not we'll TAX

supreme court on an appeal.
