Davenport Times: Secretary Simp-

studying how best advertise the
fair. He has had several years of ex-
perience. He used to be prejudiced in
favor of great bills on dead walls and
boalS fences where the rains loosen
them UP and allow them to flap in the
wind, soaring horses and finally lit
tering the roads and streets when the
paper finally falls to the ground But
he has decided to discontinue the use
OF the posters and handbills that have

reason for this decision is that last

The state association of thresher-
men has been in session at Des
Moines during the past week with an
attendance of about 200. The asso-
citation reioices in having secured at
the last session of the legislature
bill which is just what they desired
in regard to bridges. At present the
owners of threshers are required to
lay planks across the bridges when
the traction engines go over, but IN
der the new law about a year is given
in which the counties must SO
strengthen the bridges that no plank
ing will be necessary, after which the
traction engines will go along the
roads without hindrance. The asso-
citation expects to secure other legis.

men who own property valued al

1oIgNeTHEN HUMAN LIFE.

Dir. Burnside Foster, editor of the St
Paul Medical Journal, and chief ex-
aminer of the New England Mutual
Life Insurance company for Minneso-
ia, speaking before the Association OF
Life Insurance Presidents, said 1t
would be possible to add at least five
years to the life OF the average policy
holder by adopting a plan OF re-exam-
ination once in FIVE years as frequent
medical examinations would indicate
the beginning of unsupported diseases
in time to effect cures or materially
retard the progress of disease.
Dr. Foster urged that as the life in
surance business was more directly
concerned with the health of the peo-
pie than any other business, the COM
panies form combination to carry out
his suggestion. He referred to the
large amount of capital invested in
life insurance and to the great number
of persons interested. either as insdr-
ers or insured, as proof that some &C
ton was needed. The denomination
according to his plan, would be free
to policy holders, and the trivial cost,
he said, would be more than balanced
by the increased premiums that would
result DR.. Foster said:
Modern medicine has. above all, two
chief claim aims-the prevention OF
disease and the recognition of its earli-
est signs in the individual. In both OF
these aims the life insurance business
/ has an immense interest since the
nearer we approach to their accom-
plishment the more We add to human
longevity Preventive medicine be
comes more nearly an exact science
all the time, and. while its possibilities
are far from being recognized. this is
not because of its own inexactness OF
shortcomings, but because the people
have not yet awakened to the fact thai
those diseases which cause the great
est number of deaths and the creates
amount of suffering are actually pre-
ventable if money enough be spent t.
prevent them. The only way to enlis
all the people actively in the crusade
against preventable disease is to pre-
sent the subject as an economic one
which it surely is, and one which az
peals directly to their pocket books.

A wife should help her husband in
every way possible, according to a
rule just laid down by Judge Har-
beson of the Kenton County (ky)
circuit court bench. The case was that
of Louise Bamberger, who sued Frank
Bamberger for divorce, alleging that
he made her do a mans work in his
truck garden. In dismissing the suit
the judge said the husband was right;
that she should aid him in making a
living for them both, adding that
woman who married man who had
small truck garden ought not to
expect to live in luxury" The decision
is both good law and good sense.

MAKING AN INDUSTRY.

Such an agitation mas oSeA ioi0ou
by Chicago papers about the women
glove and hosiery schedules in the
pending tariff bill. that the sentiment +
through the middle-west has been /
aroused against these features. 1t is
lust as well. however, in fairness, to
learn something about the reasons
back of the attitude of the trainers OF
the bill. and the best presentation OF
that phase we have yet seen appears
in letter from Local No. 10, lnterna-
tional Glove Workers Union OF Amer
lea. published in the Chicago lnter
Ocean.
According to the president and sec
rotary OF the union, the great centers
of this industry are Grenoble, France,
and Prague, Bohemia. The glove cut
ters of Grenoble number about 5000
and of Prague about 100. Some OF
the more skilled and ambitious Of
these glove cutters have emigrated to
America with the usual and commend
able motive of lettering their condl-
ton. They have become citizens OF
the United States and wish to prac-
tice their art and to teach 1t to others.
They have found difficulties, they
and the native Americans who have
become interested in the subject, in
establishing this new industry in this
country. Their Industry remains
! small and obscure because of foreign
competition, made strong oy the lever
