Chicago Tribune: The supreme
court of the United States handed
down an opinion the other day within
should he of general interest, because
it strengthens the pure food law.
A St Louis firm is in the egg pre-
serving business. 1t sold number OF
eggs to Peoria bakery, but held
them in storage subject to shipping
orders After the goods had been
shipped and were still in the original
packages a government agent seized
them as adulterated. The eggs had
been dosed with borax, contrary 10
law.
The lawfulness of the seizure was
disputed on the ground that the gov
eminent had no jurisdiction over
goods carried in interstate commerce
not intended Tor sale. Title TO the
eggs had passed before they left ST.
Louis. and the purchaser had had his
own goods shipped to him not for
sale but as raw material in manu-
featuring
This was ingenious. but it did NOT
convince the court. 1t held that the
pure food law is in the interest .of
the public health, and makes contra
band products adulterated in violation
of law which enter into interstate
commerce. Whenever they do, the gov
eminent can pursue and destroy them
wherever found
If it had not been for the govern
ment these doctored eggs would have
gone first into cake and then into
the stoniachs of Peorians. 1t is a sad
fact that eggs which are beginning to
decay. or which are kept from utter
ly spelling by illegal treatment, find a
market in many bakeries. Even those
which are extremely far gone and
cannot be worked off in cake can be
used for the purpose of glazing bread.
The state, as well as the nation.
should keep an eye on bad eggs and
prevent their use as a raw material
in manufacturing food

THE WOMAN WHO UNDERSTANDS

THE WOMAN WHO UNDERSTANDS
Somewhere she waits to make you
win,
Your soul in her firm white hands
Somewhere the gods have made for
The woman who understands
AS the tide went out she found him
Lashed to a spar of despair
The wreck of his ship around him.
The wreck of his dreams in the air
Found him, and loved him, and gath
cred
The soul OF him 10 her heart:
The soul that had sailed an uncharted
The soul that sought to win and be
The soul of which she was part;
And there in the dusk she cried TO
the man,
win your battle-you can-you can"
Helping and loving, and guiding
Urging when that was best
Holding her fears in hiding
Deep in her quiet breast
This is the woman who kept him
True TO his standards lost
When tossed in the storm and stress
and strife,
He thought himself through with the
game of life
And ready 10 pay the cost
Watching and guarding
still.
Win-you can-and know you will.
This is the story of ages
This is the womans way
Wiser than seers or sages,
Lifting US day by day
Facing all things with courage
Nothing can daunt or dim:
Treading LIES path wherever it leads,
Lined with flowers, or choked with
weeds,
But ever with him-with him:
Guardian, comrade, and golden spur,
The men who win are helped by her.
Somewhere she waits, strong in belief,
Your soul in her firm white hands;
Thank well the gods when she comes
to you
The woman who understands.

Americans attach too much import

look as il they were actually afraid of
the Japs. Every trifie provokes the
war scare. For instance since the

a constant purpose to involve the Jap
anese in it. The rumor that tens of
thousands of the Japs had established
themselves in Mexico and that they
were preparing TO make an aggressive
movement was made for number of
days to do duty and to create appre-
hension. So the :.atement that the
government had designs on Mexico is
equally groundless. Nor is it believed

SPRING HIRps OF IOWA.
They Are Here and There are Many
Reasons Why We Should Know
and Love Them.

Fred Lazell in Cedar Rapids Repub-
Ilican: Redwings were in the willows
around the little pond and one of
them was up in an elm sounding his
/ "Okalee" or as 'Thoreau puts it, his
I "Conqueree. 1t has quality which
suggests the clarinets. But the fox
sparrows song is more flute-like. They
were scratching among the dead
leaves beneath the oaks on the slope,
and every now and then one of them
mounted to hawthorne bush to
pour out his music, ineffably sweet
and clear, "Oleet, Oleet, Oleet' that's
the song sparrow down by the pond
again. We must leave the bright
brown fox sparrows to get a look at
the song sparrow who will sing for us,
from now until fall, scarcely minding
the heat of the summer. The streaks
down the sides of his white throat
and the blotch on his breast where
the streaks run together are beauti-
full. They are worth ten minutes CT
your time, especially in early March,
when YOU see him again after the
winters absence.
Woodpeckers? Oh, yes many Of
them. The downy and the hairy were
both doing their tatoos on the dead
branches. This rapid beat of their
bills-on resonant limb is the nearest
approach to love song but shall
not the snare drummers' hearts feel
the thrill of spring just as much as
the coloratura's soprano? There isn't
living bird, but will endeayor to
make some sort OF a living noise
when the springtime comes. Did you
ever hear the love song of crow?
No. Then you have something pleas
ant to learn. He sits near his mate
in sheepish sort of a way and he
makes a funny noise away down in
his throat. opening his mouth the
while, emitting sound half way be-
tween a cav and whistle.
This is the season when almost any
one may find a red bellied woodpeck

so noisy with his bill but he is far

though it may come from a distant
wooded ridge. He is one of the hand
soonest of woodpeckers, with crown
and nape of bright scarlet, and back
of black and white beautifully mixed.
This woodpecker may be found in
Iowa in the winter and sometimes in
the summer: but he is more common
in this part of the state at this sea

been seen during the past week

senate in 1912, irrespective OF the
action of the legislature in filing the

viii so arrange his business affairs
that he will be able to devote himself

Now What Do You Think OF This?

There ire not many people in the United States who know that
Uncle Sam is willing to carry parcels weighing II pounds for Y cents
per pound for people in other countries, while he limits the weight of
a package for one Of his own citizens to A pounds aud charges him Ii
cents per pound. But it is true, just the same. Senator Bourne
recently introduced a bill which provided that no mail matter, carried
from any part of The United States to any other part, should pay a
higher rate eff postage than that for any foreign country. The fact
is, that we have mail contracts with 80 countries whereby we are COM
PEELED to carry packages up to II pounds in weight, consigned to per-
in these countries, for which we are not permitted to charge
more than IL cents per pound. We wonder how long it will be be-
fore Uncle Sam will treat his own people as literally as he does the
of those other 80 countries, all of whom have the Parcels
Post! We would have had such a measure long since but for the
strong hand of the express companies,
