family consists of his Wife and one

ana believes he will be able to make
it more satisfactorily out of Marshall-
town than any other point in Iowa.
Mrs. Furlong, who has visited here,
likes Marshaltlown better than Wa

change. The only thing that stood in
the way was house that suited Mr..
Furlong, but he was fortunate In get

day that the former occupants, Mr..

LIBRARY OPEN LONGER
Board Amends Its Rules to Keep the
Library Open Until 10 O'clock Each
Nieht-Does Not Go Into Effect In.

Beginning Sept. 1 the public library
will be open every day, excepting Sun
days and holidays, from 10:3O a. m. to
10 p. m. and on Sundays and holidays
from 2:30 to p. m. This was the
most important change made in the
new rules and regulations governing
the library, which We're adopted at the
monthly meeting of the board Monday
night. Those of the board who We're
opposed to keeping the library open at
night effected compromise by which
the rules and regulations, altho adopt
ed, do not go into effect until Sept /.
Those of the board who opposed the
plan say that keeping the building open
at night has been tried before, and it
has not proved a success.
The late hour plan was first sprung
month or more ago by c. H e.
ment to the rules that ii 10 o'clock
as the closing hour. Later this
amendment was Incorporated into a
j
mittee, composed of Rev. C. w. McCord
and c. II. Z. Boardman, who We're APP
pointed for that purpose.
SO far as children are concerned, the
library will not be open after Z in the
evening nor on holidays or Sundays.
The new rules prohibit children under
l6 years of age from visiting library
during these times.
The board engaged in a good ma
tured tilt over the appointment of an
assistant. The employees committee
recommended that Miss Maud Miller
be appointed at a salary of $40 a month.
But the two members of the commits
tee. G. H. f. Boardman and DR.. Cora
Williams Choate, stood alone for Miss
Miller and the board chose Miss Maud
Clark. at salary of $40 month, over
their heads.
Miss Mabel Bussard was re-employed
for two months longer at salary of
$40 a month.

and Make Additional Outlet.
John Sieg, George LaPlant, l. N.
Long and James Andrews, who own
property in the Iowa river valley
northwest of the city, which is sub
ject to inundation during times of high
water, appeared before the board of
supervisors this morning and asked
that another opening be made in the
Center street road dixie north of the
river, and that it be bridged with a
bridge approximately 100 feet in
length. The argument presented was
that If an additional channel for the
overflow water was opened thru the
dixie it would aid in draining the wa
ter much more rapidly from the low
lands up the river valley.
The board has under contemplation
also the strengthening of the river bed
from the soldiers home to the dam,
which it is claimed will aid materially
in preventing floods. There is posi-
bility that this project may be under
taken, provided the land owners in
terested and the city contribute a part
of the cost The board is going to pay
visit to the river Wednesday for
the purpose of Investigating.

bells. They look alike, but in contents
they are very different
High grade baking powders are made
of pure cream of tartar derived from
grapes. They are healthful and eco
nomical to use
Low grade baking powders are made
of alum, an astringent mineral acid.
Before the pure food law only a
chemist could tell by analysis one from
the other.
But now baking powders have the in
gradients printed on the back of the
label. By reading the label the house
keeper knows the ingredients, and be-
ing careful of the welfare of her house
hold, avoids the alum kind of baking
powder.
Good baking powder is one of the
most useful things in the llitchen-and
there is a difference.

Look for the Blue Label on Butter
milk Bread-Guarantee of Goodness.
The blue label on our buttermilk
bread does not affect the quality. 1t
is put there to guarantee the quality
and to prevent substitution. You do
not have to pay for the label, but if
you insist on having it you will al
ways be assured of good bread. Blue
label buttermilk bread is made from
the best materials combined with the
experience that has made it possible
to produce such perfect article.
If you are not already using blue
label buttermilk bread get loaf and
see what really good bread is like
Most people are using it.
