Sunday Closing at Jacksonville.

Jacksonville Courier: The move.
ment for the closing of postoffices
on Sunday has reached Jacksonville
and probably will be pushed to a sue.
cessful conclusion within a short
time. If sufficient number of peo-
pie express willingness that the To-
zeal office should remain closed on
Sunday the department at Washington
will issue the necessary order and
the employees of the office will there
after enjoy full day of rest.
ne movement in Jacksonville is
Yet IN an embryonic state and no
campaign has been outlined. 1t is ex-
ipected, however, that soon petitions
VIII be circulated among the citizens
1or an expression of opinion and if
enough OF them indicate their willing
ness to give up the privilege of get
ting their mail on Sunday the post-

IT is understood that the move.
ment plans 10 close all departments
OF the postoffice excepting the lock
boxes. The front doors would remain
open SO that renters or lock boxes
might have access to their mail. The
local office now remains open for
one hour Sunday morning, each of
the carriers being required to distrib-
ute mail TO his patrons as it may
be called for. 1t is said that practical
iy one-haf of the people who call for
mail Sunday morning do so from
force of habit and not because they
really get mail. 1t is expected that
sufficient number of these peopls
together with many business men
who now make practice of attending
to their mail on Sunday, will agree 10
foreso this pleasure or labor, which.

ALL EATING Is A RISK.

Dr. g. FL Brown of INDIANAPOLIS
member of the Indiana state board Of
health, who was the guest of physi
Clans in Des Moines the other day
gave some startling reports on food
products and poi-ons as discovered
by H. E. Barnard. state chemist OF
Indiana. One of his statements was
10 the effect that toxic poison in the
apple which Eve ate and not the eat
ing OF the apple itself ruined happi.
ness in the first domestic circle In
The Garden OF Eden. Another was
that Northumberland ate alfalfa. not
common wild grass, inasmuch as a
man could not live on the latter. while
alfalfa contains large amount of
nutriment. Other postulates were as
follows.
Eating at any time is risk from
the toxic standpoint.
Smoking is less harmful than
chewing
There are deadly poisons in small
quantities in many foods
The Register and Leader in its re-
port of his address quotes Dr. Brown
as saving:
Eating at any time is risk, and
as pastime ii is beset with dangers
from the toxic standpoint. Mans ap-
petite is inquisitiye and in search of
something new and different. This
has led 10 many disastrous results.
Many have argued that the Creator
when He placed man on earth gave
him menu card and told him TO eat,
The card simply listing all of the
things that looked good and tasted
good. Some say that Providence
would not deliberately poison men
with good tasting food. but Ewes APP
pie looked good and tasted good The
average person sitting down 10 his
dinner in home or cafe might push
back everything from the table and
refuse to eat if lie knew of the pois
ems that every article before him con
tanned. Arsenic is present in beef.
veal, wheat, potatoes, sea food and
drinking water. Fusel oil, generally
said to be an Indicator of poor whis-
ky. and which is violent poison, is the
most positive proof that the whisky
is genuine. Prussie acid is present in
fruit seeds. Oxalic acid is present in
rhubarb pie, tarts and in the choicest
citrus fruits. Benzoic acid is present |
in cranberry sauce. while caffeine is
present in coffee and tea. A popular
idea that chewing tobacco is less /
harmful than smoking 10 dispelled-'
The speaker was asked what there /
was left 10 eat, and answered:
Nothing Just eat what you like
and trust TO chances. Life is all a !
lottery. Eve gambled on the green
apple and she got a coed dose Of /
toxic acid poisoning. No wonder she /
soured on Adam. By the way there
is a hopeful rainbow sign. Did You
know that nature had put into our
ssstem large battalion of germ
lighters 10 put to death these pois-
1ns? A boy eats a green apple and /
he boy writhes with pain. Nature is
ioing ell in her power TO counteract
he poison. Nature provides her own
sntidotes. Man cannot do more.

THE PRIMARY ELECTION PLAN

The Gate City was asked by wire
for a brief expression Of its views on
the proposition to nominate candi-
date for United States senator at a
special primary election instead of by

"KEOKUK. iowa. Jan. 1.-THE

The Crime AGAINST Agriculture


Des Moines Capital: Every voice

to the United States senate 10 help

duces the food for millions of people
who are in shops and factories. If

not employed they can not buy the

manufacturing state is neglecting its
opportunities. Every New England
state is demanding cheaper products
