NATURE SPARES
The stricken Rose From Grief.

What fortunate provision OF nature
II is, that deprives the rose OF mental
suffering; for how poignant would be its
grief to discover. in the height OF its
blooming glory, that a canker fed at Its
heart. and that its beauty and fragrance
were doomed forever Nature always
spares the suffering; she is a veritable
store-house of pleasing rewards. for
those who seek her aid. In the years
gone by falling hair and grayness have
cast a gloom over the lives of thousands
OF young women. but thanks to this in
designations Of scientists the true cause
of hair destruction is now known to be
n germ or parasite that burrows into
the hair follicles. Newbro's Herpicide
absolutely destroys this germ, thus
permitting the hair to grow as ma
ture intended. Sold by leading drug

THE BEN DAVIS APPLE.

Probably no variety OF fruit haa
caused SO much argument as the Ben
Davis apple. In the last few years
the violence of this argument has
somewhat subsidized. but it has not al.
together died. There are still some
men who consider it criminal to grow
Ben Davis, while others are very sure
that it is the most profitable apple
mat can be planted, says the Country
Gentleman Some OF those who are
opposed to the variety. but who will
admit that it is usually profitable,
content themselves with predicting its
early downfall. Such predictions have
been common for 40 years, yet Ben
Davis has gone on increasing its hold
In every direction throughout this
time.
Some figures which the Massachu.
sets experiment. station has recently
collected, give intimation that posi-
bly, the long looked-for check in the
planting of Ben Davis has almost ar.
rived. A circular letter of inquiry
was sent out TO nurserymen in all
parts of the United States and Canada,
asking how the sales of Ben Davis at
present compared with those OF other
varieties, and whether the sales OF
Ben Davis are now increasing or de-
creasing. large number OF replies,
covering the continent. give very in
teresting results. About 8 per cent OF
the nurserymen report that the sale
Of Ben Davis trees is still increasing
About 20 per cent report no change
while 62 per cent report decreased
sales of this variety. In some cases
the decrease Is very marked
While 1t is unsafe 10 draw any very
sweeping conclusions from correspon-
dents of this sort, these figures are
sufficiently striking to merit some at.
tention. II seems all the more proba-
bic that there is some truth i'll this
inference, from the fact that many
other varieties are specifically men
toned as taking the place of Ben
Davis. In reply to a question on this
head, about 20 different varieties were
named, Jonathan led the whole field
by large majority, and this very
fact would Indicate that the conclu-
sion regarding Ben Davis is well
founded, since Jonathan is popular in
the territory where Ben Davis has al
ways been pre-eminent
The second most important variety
Davis is Gano. This substitution is
entirely Ineligible, but will strike
many readers as being a very small
change for the better 1t indicates,
however, that the tendency away from
Ben Davis is still localized in that
section where the variety has reigned
most supremely The same observa-
tons would hold true of the other
leading varieties mentioned rs sub
stitutes, these being mammoth black
twig winesap. Grimes and York i'm
perial. The net result is rather re-
assuring for all these persons who
hope to see higher standards Of quail
ity prevail in American pomelogy
The tendency in this list is distinctly
upward. Jonathan, winesap and
Grimes are everywhere recorded as OF
the highest quality, and all sources OF
information indicate clearly the strong
tendency toward the increased plant
ing OF these varieties throughout the
central and south central states this
is, in the Ben Davis country.

FAREWELL TO PUBLIC DRINK
ING CUP SOON.
State Board of Health Will Pass
Stringent Measures in July.

The adjustment of the public
drinking cup in railroad stations,
trains, schools and public buildings
will be one of the main actions of
the state board of public health at
their annual meeting in Des Moines
July 10. This statement was made
by D. A. P. Hanchett, president of
the board, and follows the wide
spread agitation which is being
waged throughout the country
against this type of drinking vessel
Especially stringent will be the ac-
ton taken against the railroads
which have disregarded the recon-
mendations made in this regard by
the board at their meeting last year.
At that time, every road which cross
es the state was notified to use more
care in car sanitation and to provide
parafine drinking cups for their
patrons So far as can be learned not
"a single road has needed the warn
ing. In many cases sweeping the
Oars while enroute, practice which
seaccording to physicians, is a most
.,Eeprehensible oae.! has been contin-
Sled undated.

1t is dissemination of two terrible
diseases which are spreading in spite
of every effort that is being made to
suppress them. l refer to syphilis
and tuberculosis. On the trains
especially is the drinking cup men
ace. People suffering from the most
! lOathsome disease use them, to be
, followed by some healthy person who
lis likely to become affected. Typhoid
patients not entirely recovered drink
from these cups and spread the dis
ease.
In the public schools, the drink
. ing cup should go, and should be
replaced by the bubbling type of
fountain which l regard as the ideal
public drinking vessel
tAt our meeting last year, we
recommended to the railroads that
they place penny slot machines con-
tanning parafine cups in their depots
and cars and do away with the pub
lie cup. l have Travelled over the
state during the past year and not in
one single instance have / seen that

We also object to the sweeping

All over the country war is being
waged against the drinking cup In
Kansas, Wisconsin and some parts of |
Michigan, 1t is a, thing of the past.
The railroads carry parafine cups |
which can be purchased for a penny
and which will last for the entire

Iowans Attain Old Age.

That people who live in Iowa at
tain ripe old age is evidenced by a
table of statistics compiled by Secre-
tary Sumner of the state board of
health. The table shows that in the
past four months 128 people over 90
years old died in Iowa. They were all
residents of the state and for the
most part were pioneers in Iowa. The
Oldest of the 1913 was 112 years old
when he died Several reached the
ripe old age of SO and there were
many who lived to be 90, 81, or 90
years old. Dubuque county leads
the number dying in the last four
months at the age of 90 or older. OF
the number, the youngest was 80 and
the Oldest Sc.
