ABOLISH The PUBLIC CUPS.

Wisconsin is the latest state in
which the use Of public drinking cups
is prohibited on railroad trains, in
railroad stations, in the public, par
ochial and private schools and in 9TH
er educational institutions. The pro-
hibition is by order of the state board
of health and takes effect on the first
of next month The reason assigned
is that lit has been repeatedly demon
strated that the use of what is com
monty known as the common drinking
cup is dangerous and is an undoubted
source of communication of infectious
diseases" The diseases most COM
monty communicated by public drink
ing cups are diphtheria, tonsiIitis,
tuberculosis and syphilis.
1t is a well known fact that one
public drinking cup can spread more
disease in an hour than board of
health can eradicate in year. THE

WEDDING PRESENTS.

Are wedding gifts immoral Prof.
William Robert Smith, president OF the
British Institute Of Public Health, de-
of ladies on Domestic Hygiene and
Social Economy He handled his sub
iect with profound seriousness, consid-
ering 1t under two heads--first. as re-
CARDS the effect OF the wedding gift
on the recipient, and secondly, from
the donors point of view: and he an
nounced his conclusion to be that the
practice is harmful in every way.
Those to whom the presents are given,
he argued, derive therefrom falla-
cious view Of the future awaiting them
and are in advance condemned to un-
happiness through TIER inability to
live MP to the perfectly lovely things
they have received, while the donors
OF the lovely things are all inclined to
spend more than they could afford in
the purchase of them. because they
do not want to be thought mean. The
Marshalltown Times Republican has a
word on the subject along the same
line. It says:
When vanity and pretense disappear
from the human makeup good many
things will be different. this wedding
gift business among the rest. Every
body knows the truth. though, that
few have the courage to vitalize. It
may help to break the spell for some
to know that there are thinking souls
who really see way out of the pre-
dicament 1t Is a fine and proper
thing to bestow gifts on the bride. In
the business OF setting up new home
she may need the help and the tokens
Of esteem are cherished 1t is not the
custom itself that Is immoral. 1t is
the abuse OF it. Most of us know
where the line should be drawn. but
we haven't the courage to draw it.

SCOTLAND COUNTY CORN CROP

SCOTLAND COUNTY CORN CROP.
Keokuk is especially interested in
the northern Missouri corn crop, be-
cause it is from that fertile regioz
that it draws most of the cereal that
the Hubinger Bros. Company's starch
factory consumes at the rate of 1000
bushels a day. The latest report
from there is made by the CORN Ar
gus, which says:
The farmers OF this county are
very much elated over their grand
prospects for bumper corn crop
from the highest hills to the low bot
toms. In fact the season has been
good from the very beginning with a
dry June to cultivate the crop: ON the
average corn was laid by as clean as
could be, and there are no weeds to
speak of vet And to cinch the big
prospect there was fine rain Satur-
dav night which means not less than
thirty bushels per acre on the poor
hill land to 100 on the fertile Fabius
bottom, if the frost doesn't hinder"
All hope that the frost will hold
off until the corn has opportunity to
mature fully. In this latitude the
first severe frost seldom comes until
in October. BY that time the corn
should be safe.

ANOTHER "GREAT WHITE WAY.'
The movement inaugurated at Bur-

main streets in the business section

the principal thoroughfares there will

and is receiving favorable mention on

Reporter recently visited Cedar
Rapids and on his return home wrote
in that paper:

LEE is ONE

In the dim dawnlight of the waiting
world when life in blindness
wrought,
And savage tribes in the uncleared
land for food and freedom fought;
There rose a singer among the clans,
in the glare of the desert sun,
And he found his home wherever he
strayed--for he knew that life is
One.
He dwelt with the tribes of the
marsh and moor-he sat at the
board of kings;
He tasted the toll of the burdened
slave, and the joy that triumph
brings;
But whether to jungle or palace hall
or white-walIed tent he came.
He was brother to king and soldier
and slave--his welcome was the
same.
There has risen a singer out of the
east, in the clatter and clash of
strife
The babble OF markets and blur of
print-the turmoil men call Life.
He came to the task that was set for
him and scarce was that work
begun
When he knew that the world is a.
building yet-and the power that
builds is One.
He knew by the spirits countersign
that Teuton and Celt and Greek,
Kafir and Patilan and Raiput king.
the self same language speak.
Face to face he has talked with each
they have given of their best,
He has made his home on the sea
and the land. and brought the
east to the west.
o singer OF men and the hearts of
men. you have called the soul by
name.
You have followed its path through
the changing world Is it not for
ever ire same?
And whether rou travel to northern
SHOWS, or the southern sea and
sun.
You viii find as you found in the ages
past, that the heart of the world
is One.

LEGAL BATTLE TO
PREVENT GRANITE
BLOCK PAVE Me- Mt
Market St. Business Men Will
Not Surrender to Works
Board Decision.

Although the Board of Works voted
yesterday to lay granite block pave
1nent on a six-inch concrete founda-
tion in Marke. street, it is very evident
from the opinions expressed today by
business people on that street that the
boards action will by no means be ac-
cepted as final and that the fight for
a smooth, noiseless pavement, prefer
ably wood block. will be waged with
renewed vigor from now on.
That a legal battle will ensue is GER
tain from the attitude of the Market
Street Business Mems Improvement
Association. which intends to engage
the best lawyers available to fight the
granite block proposition.
]. j. Sugarman, of the Donald fur
niture store, on Market street, has taken
a leading part In the campaign for a
smooth, noiseless pavement, said today
I'VE are now preparing to get our
legal forces to work, and we will spare
neither time nor effort to beat the
granite block idea and get what we
want.
Expense will not be considered in
this fight, for we are out now to win,
and you may be sure that granite block
will never be laid on Market street.
The scant courtesy that was accorded
US by the board whenever we talked
wood block was noticeable even to
strangers. and that our request for
some kind of smooth. noiseless pave
ment was ignored in every detail is
something that will still have to be
explained
