Makes a Pint Of Finest :
Cough Syrup
Cheap and Effective, Too.

The most effective and economi-
cal cough syrup can be made ut .
home by any one. and in this day
of high prices for food stuffs and
clothing any family can appreciate :
a saving even on necessity like
cough syrup
First, obtain of any well-stocl1ed
druggist az ounces of essence
-laxene. Empty it into Q
pint bottle. Then take a pint of
graduated sugar, add half pint
of boiling wat Tut IN fire and
let come to boil. Cool and pour
In bottle. Shake the mixture well
and take teaspoonful every hour
or two until cough is broken up:
then take whatever necessary.
Give children less according to age.
This mixture will break UP
cold and cure cough much more
rapidly than airy ordinary mixture. :
because it is not constipating, but
laxative in action when to 10 +.
doses are taken daily. If your /.
druggist does not have mentho-py
laxene, he can obtain it for you
from the wholesale firms. Try !
this splendid recipe al you VIII :
never want anything better. .

Mike Flynn, the pure food inspec-

appearance here yesterday afternoon.
ana by evening had seized onto a
basket of rotten eggs. He intends To
prosecute at once and is merely
awaiting a chance to lay his hands
on the original seller of the ancient

speaking with Mr.. Flynn last evening
ne spoke briefly of a crusade which
he VIII carry on here for two or three
days in an attempt to clean up the
bad egg situation and evidently he
had commenced hostilities from the

were sitting at his feet all during his
conversation.

been successful in noticeable way Of

farmer and the small merchant re-
fuse to sell their large lots Of good
fresh eggs, because the price offered
them is not to their liking, and so
long as they are allowed to store
them for many months in a cellar or
other place of varying temperature
we can expect no relief.
"The financial loss sustained by
the consuming public is not the great
est loss but the food value of one
fourth of all the eggs produced in the
United States is indeed the serious
side to all the people of the nation
who are already developing a tend
ency to consume more produce of ev-
cry kind than the farmers of this
country can supply.

Emersonlan Philosophy.

I find the gayest castles in the air
that were ever piled far better for
comfort and for use than the dun
geons in the air that we daily dug and
governed out by grumbling, discon-
tented people. A man should make
life and nature happier to us. or he
had better never been born.-Ralph
Waldo Emerson.

Violating Egg Law.

Il have talked with many of the
wholesale dealers in the eastern part
OF Iowa and every one of them "a.
vors the enactment OF some kind of
law that will stop the buying of the
socalled case count eggs. All of
them believe that the case count
practice has been responsible in the
past for nearly all of the rotten eggs
which come upon the market. 1t is
easy to see that If the buying or the
offering to buy of case count eggs was
prohibited, it would close to the dis
honest as well as the careless pro-
Queer and dealer, his market for
worthless eggs. The case count buy
ers in the past and at the present
only lends encouragement to people to
violate the law I am informed that
about one-fourth of all the eggs pro-
duced, never reach the consumer, be.
canse of the bad system of buying,
selling, and handling them. If this be
true it is certainly q great reason
why something should be done to
regulate and better the system Of
handling the egg situation all along
the line from the producer to the
consumer.

1T certainly looks like wilful waste
and according to the old saying, will
full waste brings woeful want Every
one could testify that there is, at GER
tain periods of the year 'woeful
want of eggs, which might be reliev-
ed in part at least, if some better
system of handling the product was
devised. But just SO long as the

ments covering and regulating the
selling and handling of eggs, in all
parts of the country, is apparent to
dealers as we'll as consumers. There
fore it is safe to say that some.
thing good must come out of the eff

Something Radically Wrong.

Can any one imagine what would
be the result, if one-fourth of every
item of farm products We're allowed
to deterorate, and go into decay, be-
cause of speculation, and bad systems
of buying, selling and handling?
There sure is something radically
wrong with the egg business, which
should be righted through rigid, but
sensible legislation, then with one
stroke the one-fourth of the total
production which is now lost to the
consuming public, would be restored,
and as result the prices lowered,
which would thereby be of immense
benefit to all.
