PUZZLED
Hard Work, Sometimes, to Raise
Children.

Chfldren's taste Is ofttimes more &C
curate, in selecting the right kind OF
food to At the body, than that OF
adults. Nature works more accurate
IL through the children.
A Brooklyn lady says: "our little
boy had long been troubled with
weak digestion. We could never per-
guade him to take more than one taste
Of any kind of cereal food. He was
a weak little chap and we were puz-
Eled to know what to feed him on,
zone lucky day we tried Grape
Nuts. Well, you never saw a child
eat with such relish, and 1t did me
good to see him. From that day. on
II seemed as though we could almost
see; him grow. He would eat Grape
Nuts for breakfast and supper, and !
think he would have liked the food
for dinner.
1.-THE difference in his appearance Is
something wonderful.
"My husband had never fancied &C.
real foods of any kind, but he be-
came very fond of Grape-Nuts and has
been much improved In health since
using 1t.
1--WE are now healthy family, and
naturally believe in Grape-Nuts.
"a friend has two children who were
formerly afflicted with ricketts,, was
satisfied that the disease was caused
by lack of proper nourishment. They
showed it. So I urged her to use
Grape-Nuts as an experiment and the
result was almost magical.
saThey continued the food and today
both children are well and strong as
anv children in this city, and, OF
course. my friend is a firm believer IN
craDe-Nuts for she has the evidence
before her eyes every day

Perfectly Harmless.

A little girl of three years, whose
father had bought her some firecrack-
ers and sky rockets for the Fourth OF
July, wanted to know what they were
for. On being told their purpose, she
anxiously inquired if they would hurt
anybody. When told they would not,
she seemed relieved, and that night,
when saying her prayers, she added:
AN, bod, don't 90 be 'f'raid of ZEN
poppin' f1ngs when zey make noise
tomorrow, 'tause zey won't hurt 90"

Confusing,

Craig Biddle, at a dinner In New
port, was describing the changing
odds on the Jefries-Johnson fight at
Reno.
Eight to four and half on JEFF

In fact, it's almost as confusing a.

ALL ABOUT MATRIMoNY

A fool and her money are soon mar
ried.
A widow and her weeds are soon
parted.
Love IS blind, but marriage is a
good oculist.
Wives generally speaking, are gem
orally speaking.
Only the brave deserve the fair. but
the rich get them.
Matrimony is chemical laboratory
full Of explosives.
Marriage is like port wine. It's apt
to make you very dull.
Eastern marriages are polygamous.
Western ones are monotonous.
All widows advocate divorce-it
puts husbands into circulation.
If you make a mistake In choosing
your second wife, it is obvious you did
not deserve to lose your first.

GOOD ADVICE FROM TAFT.

President IaIC IN MS dDle duuieeS
before the Conservation Congress at
st. Paul yesterday took occasion in
concluding his remarks to "call for a
halt in general rhapsodies over conser-
walton, making the word mean every
known good in the world" He asked
also, that the congress invite speak
ers who followed him on the program
to make specific statements instead
Of dealing in generalities, to point out
specific evils and specific remedies,
to come down to details in order that
their discussions may flow into chan
nels that shall be useful rather than
Into periods that shall be eloquent and
entertaining, without shedding real
light on the subject
It is to be hoped that some heed will
be paid to the concluding remarks in
the presidents address. 1t is true in
all activities Of life and particularly
In politics that the men who denounee
and find fault with all existing things
are the most superficial of thinkers
and observers. Pinned down to point
oft specific wrongs and to suggest
specific remedies they are helpless,
and then they have recourse to noise
and buster to cover up their ignor-

THE INTERuRBAN CAMPAIGN.

The committee of one hundred vol
unteers who enlisted in the campaign
to raise 100000 as Ottumwa's share Of
the Iowa City-Ottumwa interurban.
started out this morning. It is hoped to
make this a Whirlwind campaign and
to finish the work up by Friday even
ing, but this, Of course, depends alto
gether on the character of the recep-
ton given the members of the COM
mittee by the citizens.
OttumWans have never been asked
to lend support to a more worthy cause,
or one that promises greater returns.
Not dollar Of the sum subscribed is
to be paid until the interurban be-
tween Ottumwa and Iowa City is built
and cars are running over the line. If
the interurban is not built, then no
money is to be paid by the subscribers,
and no one is out anything but the
members Of the committee who are
giving their time in the soliciting CAM
paign. If the line is built it will be
worth many more times than the cost.
The proposed interurban line opens
up new territory, a new field for OF
tumwa manufacturers, jobbers and
the richest stretches OF land in the
United States, which has not beenSde-
veloped as 1t should have been devel-
oped, solely because of the lack Of
transportation facilities. The inter-
urban line will place Ottumwa in di-
rect communication with this rich ter
ritory, anal, by increasing Ottumwa's
territory, will similarly increase OF
tumWa's property values and business
volume, while adding greatly to the
value of all the land along the line of
the interurban.
The committee members will give
practically their entire time this week
to the work Of soliciting funds for the
interurban. They are doing this public
work at a personal sacrifice. The citi-
zens who will be called upon by this
committee can make a small sacrifice
of their time by being ready to talk
business with the committees when
they call. 1t is hoped that this cam
.paign can be closed up by Friday
night. It would be an imposition upon
the members Of the committee, all Of
whom are busy men, to ask them to
give more of their time to this work.
Everybody who is called upon by the
committee should be prepared to sub
scribe to the interurban fund.- 1t is not
a question of the intrinsic value of the
stock If the road does not come in the
subscribers do not have to pay. If it
does come in, the returns to every sub
scriber will be greater than the amount
expended. Ottumwa has an opportunity
to make an investment that insures
greater returns than anything pre-
sented since the days when the rail.
roads built their lines into and through
Ottumwa, and Ottu1hwa, with It's pro-
gressive history of the past before it..

WHERE REFERENDUM FAILED.

It has been repeatedly suggested
that the referendum system in prac-
tice amounts to nothing more than
government by minority. Iowa mas
not been called to take up this ques-
ton seriously, for Iowa has shown no
symptoms Of a desire to depart from
the principles of representative gov
eminent. Yet Iowa has been given an
opportunity to see the operation OF the
referendum in municipal matters In
several cities and the result is not one
that should cheer the advocates OF this
revolutionary system:
An election in Cedar Rapids last
Tuesday at which the citizens voted
on the question of granting gas fran
chise to a second company furnishes
q view Of the practical working OF the
referendum. According to the Cedar
Rapids papers the question involved
was one that may mean the expend1t- /
ture Of 100000 and the franchise was
worth probably 100000 to the COM
peny. Out OF more than 1000 voters
in Cedar Rapids only LOO voted,
something like one-fifth of the quail
hed electors. Nine hundred and
eirhty-nine voters favored the fran
chise and the proposition carried. An
imnortant school proposition that
came up in Cedar Rapids just a short
time before, involving the expenditure
az about 100000, brought out about
the same vote. i
AZ Mason City, where the question
OF granting twenty-five year extern
aion Of the street railway franchise
was placed before the voters, just one
third Of the total vote was cast, and
the proposition was carried by the
vote OF about one-fifth OF the total
number of voters.
Marshalltown and Fort Dodge placed
the question Of adopting the commls-
sion plan Of city government before
the electors only to find the total vote
SO light as to permit an actual minor
ity Of the voters to win out at the
elections.
n view of the indifferences shown
by the people in such questions as
these, involving to some extent the ex-
nenditure of their money, such radi-
cal systems as the referendum should
be approached with caution.
A staff correspondent of the London
Times, writing from Bengal, says that
the chief underlying cause of the dis
content and unrest in that province Is
the general advance in the price of
foodstuffs and other necessary COM
modities; similar reports and COM
plants come from Ireland, from
France, from Russia, and from Hun
gary. Must our Payne tariff take the
blame for all of these? inquiries the
Brooklyn Times.

confines it's activities to intelligent
discussion of the question of how
best to conserve the nations resources
instead of indulging in q heated and
fruitless argument over the personal
merits of Mr.. Ballinger and Mr..

less interested than the politicians
seem to believe, some progress may
be made. The St. Paul meeting can
