lowans Save Much Money.

Davenport Democrat: According to
a table OF figures prepared by the
state auditor, policy holders in Iowa
paid last year more than $4,000, 900
in premiums to life insurance compan-
les. This includes the old line and
the new line companies, also fraternal
and beneficiary companies. The ex-
act outlay for indemnity in the way
of life insurance in the year 1908 was
SIC, 645,453 OF this Iowa life insur-
ance companies received two-fifths
and outside companies three-fifths.
The figures show that Iowan5 are
pretty well protected and that heads
OF families are looking after the future
of their dependents. The amount that
came back to Iowans last year from
their investment in life insurance Is
given by the state auditor as s1.22S.s
571. The total amount of insurance in
force at the time the reports were
made was $112,S51,757. These are
large figures and they mean great
deal. One OF differences to be drawn
is that Iowans have much more money
than they need for present purposes,
and that they are putting 1t In storage
against the time Of need. The savings
banks tell the same story en- much
more magnificent scale.

What Becomes Of the Corn.

Waterloo Reporter: A great many
people have lad the mind to wonder
what becomes Of the corn crop raised
every year. This thought has often
been impressed upon travellers
through the great expanse OF corn
growing land, even though they were
familiar with the vastness OF the ter
ritory devoted to the culture OF corn.
IL answer to the question, an authority
undertakes to tell OF the disposition
made OF the crop that sustains the
middle west. He says taat in The year
1908. when the total crop was 1885,
100000 bushels, 241000.000 bushels
were consumed in flour and grist mill
products, 100000 bushels in the man
,.cacture of starch, 100000 bushels
for malt liquors, 4O,000,O00 bushels for
glucose, 100 600, 900 bushels for export
and 100000 bushels for seed, max
ing total OF 51s,00O,00O bushels, or
10. 3 per cent of the entire crop The
remaining S0.7 per cent, or 2,118, 000,-
900 bushels seem to have been used
almost entirely for feeding.

Heat Waves Cause Crime.

Davenport Democrat: The chief Of
Des Moines detectives makes an ex-
PLANTATION which will be accepted by
many as accounting for the wave OF
suicides, murders and unnatural acts
of watch SO many have Deen recorded
during the past week or two. Daven-
port has experienced rather more than
its share In the way of sudden deaths
from apoplexy, suicide and other forms
of the violent. Chief Johnston of Des
Moines, holds that "extreme heat is
responsible for more violent crime
than any other single agency" He
lis an observing man and says that
during the twenty-seven years which
he has spent In police work he has
noticed that the season of the most
extreme heat is always prolific of the
most violence.
Others have drawn the same con-
clusion. When the mercury runs
from 80 to 100 day after day and the
air is humid we are living near the
danger line, II we take tbs normal
temperature Of the body into account.
We fail in the effort to get refreshing
sleep. We overeat and exercise or
work beyond reason. We lose our
tempers. In word the balance is
| gone and physical and mental disor-
der grows by what 1t feeds on. Heat
sickness is common. The hot months
| are the fatal season for children. Elk
citement stirs the blood and drives us
Ito commit deeds that at other times
we can more easily resist.
The lesson Of 1t all is that the quiz
eter and more temperate we are the
better.

UNIQUE SANITARY HOUSE.

Among the exhibits at the late con-
gress on tuberculosis, held IN Wash
ington, was model Of a sanitary con-
crete house which attracted much at
tention and was awarded the first gold
medal. The entire sanitary concrete
house is castthe walls. floors and
fixtures being Of reinforced concrete:
window frames are of cast-iron. Du-
plication Is, OF course, the secret Of
the proposed economy. as 1t is esti-
mated that when sand and gravel are
easily obtainable. six-room attractive
houses can be built for $1,000, when
once the forms are perfected and
made. These forms are being con-
structed Of standard unit type so
that they are to great degree inter-
changeable, and by this means houses
may differ in plan and design and still
be constructed over the same forms.
The possible omission Of insurance and
repairs and their general indestructible
character make this type Of buildings
especially applicable to rented houses.
To thoroughly clean a room the hose
is used on walls. ceilings, and the COM
position floors are graded to plugged
tile spouts. discharging on the lawn.
All corners are covered. and all fix
lures are bracketed from wall, which
leaves no place for the shelter Of dust,
vermin or insects. The coal is hoist
ed by simple chain block. attached
to swinging davit and is dumped
through hole in roof to large pocket,
from whic.4 It feeds by gravity into
fire-box Of stove, the ashes falling into
pit and being removed from an outside
door. This stove combines in one com
pact fixture, cooking range, house and
hot water heater, and gas stove. The
garbage is placed in cast iron chamber
in smoke flue and after drying is
dumped into fire-box by damper. Fire
places in each room have fiues about
smokestack forming natural ventila-
ton, The icebox is arranged for use
as fresh air closet, doing away with
use OF ice except in hot weather. This
is also arranged to be flushed with
hose.
The walls are hollow to prevent
dampness, and the roof is of open eel
lular construction, cool in summer. An
attractive feature OF the house IL the
roof garden and sun room forming out
of-dcor bedrooms. divided by use OF
movable screens. Window boxes form
an inexpensive and at the same time
artistic d coration. The exterior sur
face is Of frank concrete with pebbles
washed and exposed.
