ment is made in the spring, an in
crease sufficient to permit Of the pur-
chase and maintenance Of flusher.
Street sprinkHng will not do. This
only serves to lay the dust, not to
clean the street The flusher forces a
stream Of water over the surface of
the pavement under air pressure suffi-
Client to remove all dirt from the
street. The dirt and muddy water is
deposited in the gutter, the heavy
matter gathered In carts and hauled
away, while the light matter flows off
with the water into the sewer. Not
only is the street scrubbed by this
method, but the sewers are flushed.
In many cities the plan is followed
of flushing the paved streets in the
residence district in the day time and
in the business district at night This
is merely a detail, however, that can

1t is as idle to say that the city OF
Ottumwa cannot afford to purchase ap

a housekeeper to excuse the appear
ance of mud on the kitchen floor by
stating that she can't AFFORD to buy g

that the club was organized FRIDAY q

actions of those who have been

concluding paragraph of the article
reads:

This time over 800 who have signlfied
their willingness to side with the pro-

tween the Republicans of the sixth
congressional district. NO candidate
has been proposed to enter the field
for the nomination against. Congress

no candidate contemplates entering
the field against Mr.. Kendall.
Such a movement as this will bring
a renewal of party strife at time
when there is no division among the
Republicans of the district. 1t places
the candidates on the Republican
county ticket in Monroe county in the
position of forcing a fight against
members Of their own party ct time
when there is every need that they
should present a solid front agains

VIII Substitutes For
Meat.

In Charge of Domestic Economy. Iowa
State College.
Copyright. 1910. by American Press
Association.

VT has been previously limited in
N form a part of every meal-in
fact, the majority of people will
have better health If they abstain
from flesh eating oftener than once
u day. The suggestion has also been
made that meat substitutes, such as
dishes In which eggs. beans, cheese or
nuts form the chief ingredient, be
served at least two meals day. The
variety of ways in which the materials
may be used Is numerous, all that Is
needed being little ingenuity in COM
Dining them with other ingredients in
order to obtain satisfactory results
Some people who are fond Of hearty
foods and meat fiavors are loath to
see the meat platter depart from the
table only to reappear once day.
For such persons 1t will be necessary
to practice the virtue of patience,
make the other dishes substantial and
appetizing and occasionally take few
lessons on food values. Beans, nuts
and cheese all contain a larger per
cent of protein than meat and, com
bined as they often are with other
protein food, are really more nutritious
than meat.
Cheese is food rich in nutriment. IT
contains more than twice as much tbs,
sue building material than meat and
a large per cent Of fat But because II
Is concentrated food it gives the di
gestive organs considerable work. One
reason for this is because the curd OF
the milk has been hardened by heat IL
the process of making, besides being
closely pressed. Grated or finely bro
ken cheese is more readily digestet
than that served in larger pieces
Cooking also increases the indigesttbil
| ity Of cheese. and for this reason IL

It WAS EASY FOR /.
BUSH TO BREAK IN
Owen Just Flung Into the
Breach-He Had No
Tryout.

Supporting the contention that spring
training trip is a poor place for young
ster to show his best form. w. A. Phelon.
IN the Base Ball Magazine, has the fol-
lowing interesting story regarding the
entrance OF Owen Bush, one time vet.
to the big league ranks:
The case that will illustrate many of
the points Of this article Is that of Owen
Bush. the little streak of light who plays
shortstop for Detroit. Bush is very small
and very young. Detroit late in the cam
paign of 1908 found itself weakened and
in imperative need Of a new shortstop.
Bush was purchased from indianapolis
and flung right into the breach. Never
was a kid performer put under. . moro
critical strain. The Tigers were coming
down the stretch in a race OF the closest.
shortstop's job and told to go ahead and
do the best he could. This nervy. self
reliant little player proceeded instantly
to play big league ball of the cfassiest
kind. He knew what to do without train
ing or teaching. He was there with the
knowledge. the head and the arm. Before
he had been on the job two days he in
fected the Tigers with his vitality. his
nerve, his superabundant ginger. Bush
saved the flag for the Tigers, and when
question as to the shortstop: il simply
had to be the nineteen-year-old kid who
came in from the minors in September.
Bush. of course. was natural ball
player and his cool nerve. mixed with
audacity and absolute self-confdence,
made him as thoroughly at home on the
Tiger infleld as he had been with India
napOlis. Bullock at the advantages OF
Bush's situation! He knew that he would
have every assistance in the process. He
wasn't going into a cold training camp
with twenty other youngsters. mostly
bigger and more formidable looking than
himself. He wasn't competing with lot
of crafty veterans, who had the conf
aence and favoring help of the manager.
It was not little Owen Bush begging for
a chance to make good. 1t was the Grip
pied Detroit team begging little Owen
Bush to come and show how good he
really was Under such circumstances
was It any wonder that a fast young
player, specially filled with pepper and
nerve, should succeedT'
