AS to Valuations.

A member of the city council who
iA for bitulithic paving has been
saying that the Freeman-Tribune
didn't know what 1t was talking
about when discussing west Boone
street lot values. II the Freeman
Tribune were relying upon its own
Judgment in this matter it might
be persuaded OF error. as 1t is not
versed in the value Of farm acreage
cut into such small tracts. But 1t
secured its information at the treas
urer's Office and took the values
placed upon the property by the city
council itself when sitting as a
board of equalization. The council,
all will admit, has its faults, but no
man ever yet accused the council OF
undertaking. property in Webster
City. Hundreds OF taxpayers have
visited the council chamber at the
psychological moment to protest
against high valuations. but it Is
not within the memory OF the old
est inhabitant that an offended tax
payer ever complained Of low valu-
ations. This being the situation,
the Freeman-Tribune is inclined sc
let the valuations stand right where
the council put them. However. IN

Home Permanency VS.. Home

4 Monotouy,
This is vital question for pres

Ihave house which in appearance
must always remain the same or a
house that will permit Of little re-
Ifreshening occasionally. Neighbor-
hoods change as do individual tastes
"a frame house can easily be made
to harmonize with Its surroundings
"a fresh coat Of paint often will
make it as good as your neighbor's
new house-th same as a new suit
makes you feel like a new man. At
any rate a frame house Is susceptible
to most any change you might de-
sire and while 1t is. permanent It
does not necessarily need become an
Eeyesore or monotony. There are
lots Of things we've observed about
houses and lumber that you should

Another Possibility.

Three or four aspiring Webster
City republican politicians have
been looking around for several
months to find an opening to get In
to the congressional game, but thus
far the search has not been reward
ed by success, no promising avenue
apparently yawning before them.
However, now comes democratic
warrior up to the scratch, being
coached by the Fort Dodge Chroni-
Gle. He Is a man who has lead more
democratic defeats in his day than
the Hon. VIM. Jennings Bryan HIM
self, Listen to what the Chronicle
says:
The democrats are going to have
candidate for congress In the
Tenth district and what is more he
will be fighter, one who will be
willing to make thorough canvass
of the district. and also compel the
nominee on the republican side TO
take notice that the issues are be-
ing squarely and fairly presented to
the voters OF this district. The 81
lent game will not be played in this
district much longer. Such a
democrat for example is Hon.
N. L. Rood Of Webster City, fight
er for democratic party principles
from away back, and who is an able
and convincing speaker. The Chron-
icle believes he could be persuaded
to run for congress and with the
party workers of the district back
OF him he would be sure to make a
whirlwind OF a campaign. He has
the political history OF both parties
at his tongues end. and could draw
vivid pictures Of the pilfering Of
democratic principles that has been
indulged in since the days of Roose-
welt down to this very moment. by
the republican platform writers,
both in the nation and separate
states, and tell how the people have
believed and trusted. only to be
thrown down by Taft's vetoes and
other broken promises.

cfiicers at cedar Falls, charged with
obtaining money under false pre-

well known in this city, as he has
been travelling through here fol
some time.
It seems that he was released by
the meat firm some time ago but
failed to send in his letter OF credit
As he was also employed In the ca
pacity OF collector he had several
checks belonging to the firm. among
them being some from different
business houses in this city. The
firm evidently knew Mr.. Browning
was in Cedar Falls as they instruct
ed the bank there to turn him cvel
to the police II he attempted to oh
tain money through the letter Of
credit.
Saturday morning he appeared al
the bank and asked for one hundi ed
and nifty dollars. The cashier Of the
establishment told him to wait g
few minutes as he was quite busy al
the time. The banker then notified
the police and the salesman was ar
rested.

EARCnlNC fOR. THE
ICOLORED GENTLEMAN
City Engineer Theodore $. Delay is
Interested in Square
Deal Paving.

Theodore 8. Delay, city engineer
of Creston and surveyor Of Union
county, has heard that Webster City
is interested in the paving question.
Mr.. Delay has had some valuable
experience with the shady side of
paving methods and is prepared to
give some very valuable information
to all who are open to conviction.
The Freeman-Tribune received a let
ter from himYa day or two ago. from
which we quote:
There il as you and Mr.. Norris
indicate some "nigger In the wood

ty OF hunting this particular brand
OF "coon" and have found it very
interesting and complicated occupa-
ton.
\ am glad to see that others are
taking up the. chase and trust that.
in time, it may be possible for a
municipality to go on the market
and get value received for the
money spent in public improvements
without the necessity Of guarding so
carefully against graft. Such is not
the case at the present time, howev-
or, and whatever class Of pavement
you consider you will find CRATER
on the spot with a set OF

whereby he can extract something
for nothing. That "granitoid" OF
which you speak In your editorials

an attempt is made to get royalty

My opinion Is that the only thing
upon which the company have the
ghost OF a patent in this granitoid
pavement Is the method Of finishing
and marking the surface, and I be-
lieve that Is a detriment rather
than benefit to the concrete. II
you want concrete pavements better
drop trade names and patent ideas
and have your engineer draw up "A

Let the Suburbs Wait.

The Freeman-Tribune doesn't be-
lieye the people Of Webster City ap-
prove the course of the council In
Including in the paving district a
large number Of lots that will not
stand the special assessment. There's
is no great hurry to pave the streets
In the suburbs. They ought to wait
until the property becomes OF sumo
lent value to justify the expense.
Those who own property in the mora
valuable sections Of the city are
compelled to pay for paving in front
of their lots and the intersections Of
streets, and 1t is rubbing 1t In lit
tie to make them dig up lot OF
taxes to pave out In the districts
where the real estate Is OF little
value. The extreme west end Of
some of the streets that the council
have included within the paving dis
tricts ought in justice and fairness
be cut out for the present at least
It will make heavy and unwarrant-
ed demands upon the general fund.
The fair thing to do would be for
the general taxpayers to pay for
paving street intersections and let
the outlying districts wait until
there is real demand for the Inn
provement. II Is fine thing for
man owing lot valued at only
800 to have the street paved at
cost to himself of only $25 while the
general taxpayer must put up the
other $50 or 5000, as the case may
be. Such conditions may be expect
ed to some extent where paving .
absolutely needed, but there Is no
justification in taking in such prop
erty by whole blocks at time.

Nurses Settlement, was founded in 1893 by Lillian D. .Wald shortly after she graduated, from one of the New York training schools for nurses Moved by the wretchedness she dis | covered in treating a sick woman, she determined to take a tenement and devote herself to the service of such need as she might discover While searching for, habitable quanters she discovered the College Settlement. MT. Ruths of Baltimore, a printer by trade, started neighborhood work to meet the problem of amusing his chil- dren and their friends. In a. short time he had the neighborhood at his doors. A settlement in Chicago was started by Russian woman, the wife of a physician, who tried to meet some of the social needs which her hus- bands work was constantly revealing. An interesting piece of neighhOrh ood work was the experiment of MT. Jer- ome while district attorney in taking up his residence on the East Side of New York.
 The most curSory study of the Handbook of Settlements recently is sued as one of the Russell Sage Foun- datiOn publications brings out the strongly individual character of the various settlements. A settlement may be said to be made up of a group or people who live Tn a nelghbOrhOOd in order to understand the social life of the quarter, supplement- it to the best of their ability, interpret it's vir- tues and needs to the larger social whole, and awaken and organize it's citizens to attempt the solution of their own problem.
 As an incidental part of their work nearly all of the settlements have been influential in obtaining some form of municipal improvement, such as playgrounds, public, baths, public libraries, improved streets, housing and sanitation, and more humane ad- ministration of public charity. Set public opinion in favor of the labor concerning the labor Of women and it less easy to exploit the more help less members of the community
 Because the state is the instrument of social reform, the settlement must ultimately organize by states, and a beginning has been made in this di- rection. Nationally the settlement has had a very real share in develop ing the present campaign against child labor, in promoting the movement for industrial education, the vocation bu- reau, the national study of the labor of women and children, etc., and is still specifically interested in immi- grafton, in carrying the idea of neigh borhood cooperation into town and village life, and in a widespread and progressive propaganda for the fur ther humanization of politics and in- dustry.

VALUE OF CHEESE AS A FOOD.

Cheese contains all the essentials of a human food, according to a pam phlet recently issued by the Depart ment of Agriculture. The popular belief that cheese, even when green or unripened, is difficult of digestion, or that unripened cheese, or cheese in any stage of ripening is constipating is not Justified. The milk solids ln cheese are very digestible. and make an almost perfect food. With the ad- dition of rennet and the development of tactic acid in cheeSe-mak1ng, some chemical changes take place; but these do not transform digestible sol ids in milk into indigestible solids In cheese. The digestive disturbances attributed ito peculiarities in the to over-eating, or to the custom of eating cheese only at the close of the meal, when one has already had more than enough food.
 kim-milk cheese, when sold as a whole milk product, is a fraud that is positive injury to the dairy bus, mess; but skim-milk cheese, stated and sold as such, is entitled to con- sideration by both producer and con- sumer It is digestible and has q food value; made to have an agree able taste it could be sold cheaply another cheap and palatable product, much of which could be added to the dietary at great saving in the total cost of food Indeed, all kinds of cheeses, even the very highly flavor ed and so-called continental cheeses have a high food value.
 America may learn much from the Continent. Many European people eat largely of cheese, either by It. self, or sprinkled on vegeta bles, qr cooked with other food. The Ital- ians have many foods. such as mac aroni, with which cheese is mixed. They have cheese grated and con stantly at hand as a f1avoring, quite as we use pepper and salt. The Swiss eat largely of cheese, which with bread forms the greater part of the dietary of this very healthy people; and those Swiss farmers who have settled in Wisconsin continue to manifest the athletic attainments and the physical endurance of their for bears The sensible Germans con- sume large quantities of the cheap but highly favored skim-milk cheese. Such cheeses are wholesome, and their fiavors are by reason of benef1- cent microorganisms. The consump- tion of cheese by the American peo- pie should be increased, from the viewpoint both of economy and its superior food value, according to The Journal of the American Medical As sociation. A pound of cheese has nearly the same food value as two pounds of lean meat or eggs, or the same weight of ham. Not only is it superior in food value, but also it furnishes nitrogen without the in crease of uric acid in the system. For this reason it may be eaten by those inclined to gouty affections to whom meat is denied.
