Pecoy Wins Easily.

The handicap wrestling match at the
Armory last Tuesday evening between
A. G. Johnson of Decorah and Manley
PEGGY, was won very easily by the lat
ter who gained his first fall in three
minutes, the second in ten minutes,
the third in eight minutes and the last
in five minutes. johnson is likely
young fellow, but is about 25 pounds
lighter than PEGGY and does not have
the strength and knowledge of the
game necessary to make him a very
formidable opponent for Pecoy.
At the conclusion of the match, D.
A. Mcmillan, who has trained johnson
challenged PEGGY to handicap wrest-
ling match under the same conditions
governing the match with johnson,
with another of McMillan's pupils, q
young fellow named Bucknell weigh
ing 200 pounds. PEGGY declines to
make match under such conditions as
he thinks it is asking too much work of
a man to throw 200 pound man four
times in one hour for such small
purse, but is ready to make match
for a straight two out of three falls, OF
will agree to throw Bucknell twice in
one hour.

No Tax on Coffee.

Hand on heart and eyes cast heaven
ward, the ways and means committee
assures the consuming public that
csffee will not be taxed.
But the Payne bill contains sscoun-
tervailing duty" on coffee. That
means that if any coffee exporting
country levies an export tax or other
tax 'tor any kind of charge" on coffee
exported therefrom, that an import
tax in equal amount shall be levied on
the coffee imported into the United
States from such coffee.
Most of the coffee used in this coun-
try comes from the state of San Paulo,
Brazil. So : luch coffee is produced
there that the state levies valoriza-
tion tax which goes into fund which
is expended in the purchase of all the
surplus supply in order to maintain the
general market price.
The production varies from year to
year, one year too much, next year far
too little. The valorization tax makes
the market stable, and there isn't the
slightest prospect of its being repealed,
because. the state has issued bonds
against some millions of sacks of coffee
stored in London, in this country, and
at home.
Just as surely as the sun shall rise
tomorrow, just as surely will San Paulo
continue its export tax, and we shall
have to continue taking the coffee
because we can't get along without it.
And that surely, under the countervail-
ing duty, a tariff tax will be levied on
all San Paulo coffee, and the American
consumer, nursing the delusion that
coffee is or the free list, will be
gouged. Telegraph Herald.

DANGEROUS FAKES.
Trichs to Introduce Alum Baking Powder.
which Should be Exposed.

.A.onO W AAtXOuuC6 fAlu m BAKING POw09Fa
which Should be- Exposed.
There has recently been attempted at
some OF our grocery stores. and also at
dwelling houses, by agents who are
trying to sell alum baking powders,
what the exhibitors call baking pow-
der test. They pretend to show by
some boiling test that pure cream of
tartar baking powders contain some
thing which every woman of intelli-
gence knows they do not
1t does not need chemist to expose
this trick. Cream of tartar, which is
the chief constituent of the best and
most wholesome baking powder, is
originally clear, white cystal. This
is ground into fine, creamy flour, in
which form. mixed with baking soda,
1T is present in the baking powder.
Cream of tartar, when mixed with wa
ter and boiled, simply returns to it's
crystalline form, and that is all there
is to the so-called test.
The matter of special interest to the
public is to know what these people of
fer in place of cream of tartar powders
of well-known purity and established
reputation against which these ISLANDERS
are directed. They are offering bak-
ing powder which official analyses have
repeatedly shown is made from alum.
drug so well recognized by physicians
and scientists as injurious to health
that in many countries it's use in bread
is entirely prohibited! So cheap and
inferior are the ingredients of this
powder that it costs to make less than
three cents a pound. No prudent house,
wife will knowingly put such stuff as
this into her food.

Stomach Distess.

Every family here ought to keep
some Diapepsin in the house, as any
one of you may have an attack of In
digestion or Stomach trouble at any
time, day or night.
This harmless preparation will di-
gest anything you eat and overcome
sour stomach five minutes afterwards.
If your meals don't tempt you, or
what little you do eat seems to fill you,
or lays like lump of lead in your stom-
ach, or if you have heartburn, that is
assign of Indigestion.
Ask your Pharmacist for a 5O-cent
case of Pape's Diapepsin and take one
triangle after supper tonight. There
will be no sour risings, no belching of
undigested food mixed with acid, no
stomach gas or heartburn, fulness or
heavy feeling in the stomach, Nausea,
Debilitating Headaches, Dizziness or
Intestinal gripping. This will all go,
and besides, there will be no sour food
left over in the stomach to poison your
breath with nauseous odors.
Pape's Diapepsin is a certain cure
for all stomach misery, because it will
take hold of your food and digest it
just the same as if your stomach
wasn't there.
Actual, prompt relief for all your
stomach misery is at your Pharmacist,
waiting for you.
These large 5O-cent cases contain
more than sufficient to cure case of
Dyspepsia or Indigestion.

Iowa and the Holland Cows.

Each of the /, 400, 900 cows in Iowa
produce an average of 140 pounds, of
butter fat a year. The cows of Holland
produce an average of 25O pounds,
nearly twice as much.
If the Iowa COW could be induced to
produce 25 pounds more butter fat a
year, the total of the increased pro-
duction would be $1,000, 900. If she
should equal the production of her Hol-
land kin, the increase would be more
than $50, 600, 900 a year.
Noting these facts Mr.. w. w. Marsh
of Waterloo determined to encourage
efforts to augment the butter fat pro-
duction of the Iowa COW. Scientists
have made two blades of grass grow
where none grew before, and why
shouldn't they succeed in producing
two pounds of butter where one had
had been produced before? Mr.. Marsh
is confident that we need only to dis
cover the means of increasing the pro-
duction and has offered prize of $1,000
to the man who will produce an Iowa
cow having the output of Holland
COW. The leaders of dairying in the
state have organized Cow Culture
Club" and will strive to reach the Hol-
land level. Dubuque Telegraph Herald

DON'T HAVE HABITS
SAYS THIS EXPERT

CHICAGO. April S.--"Don't have regular
habits. You are a weakling IL you do.
Make them irregular and then you will be
ready when an emergency comes"
That was the advice given by DR.. Shell
don Leavitt last night to the members of
the Right Living League in Emmanuel
Baptist Church.
'Its ridiculous to say that health de-
pends on regular habits" he added. You
ought to be able to go without sleep an
entire night and do good work the next
day. The reason the city boys were able
to endure hardships of war better than the
country youths was because the latter
had regular habits and it broke them all
up TO break them"
At the meeting the National Optimistic
league was formed with DR.. Leavitt as its
first president. II proposes TO extend bran
ches around the world TO propagate the
doctrine Of right living and right thinking
It's slogan is Il can, / will" One Of it'
notices is:
"Let America lead in a worldwide uplif
movement"
