does not OF necessity have any rela-
ton to the amount OF sales for that
year. The values under this head also
include the amount received for work
done on materials furnished by others.
The value added by manufacture
represents the difference between the
cost OF materials used and their values
after the manufacturing processes have
been expended upon them and they
become products. In 1909 the value
added by manufacture was s8S, 551 900,
and in 1904, $57,72s. 900. an increase Of
$30.S23,000, or So per cent The value
added by manufacture In 1909 formed
"a per cent of the total value of prod
ucts. and in 1904, 36 per cent.
Miscellaneous expense includes such
items as rent of factory or works,
taxes, and amount paid for contract
work, which will appear separately in
the final reports, as well as such items
OF office and other expense as can not
be elsewhere classified In 1909, the
amount was s19,147,O00, and in 1904,
s11,903,000, an increase of $7,244,o 600,
or 81 per cent. The average miscella-
neous expense per establishment in
1909 was approximately $4,000; in
1904, $4,000.
The salaries and wages IN 1909
amounted to s42,536,Oo0, and in 1904
to s2s,s45.ooo an increase of s14,59o,.

While Iowa Is the leading agricul-
tural state of the union 1t is also be-
ginning to make splendid showing
in manufactures. The coal fields and
the excellent and ABUNDANT water sup
ply are becoming very attractive to
captains of industry, and the next ten
years will likely show an expansion
that will attract attention all over the
country.
A preliminary statement of the gen.
eral results of the census Of manufac-
lures for the state Of Iowa issued by
Census Director Durand, consists of 2
summary comparing the figures for
1904 and 1909 by state totals, prepared
under the direction of Mr.. William M.
Stewart, chief statistician for manu-
features, Bureau of the Census.
Steam laundries are given a separ.
ate presentation because the thir-
teenth census was the first in which
they were canvassed, and therefore
there are no statistics for prior cen
suses with which these totals can be
compared.
The figures are preliminary and
subject to such change and correction
as may be found necessary from a
further examination of the original
reports.
The thirteenth census, like that OF
| 1904, with reference to manufactures
differs from the twelfth census, IN
| 1900, in that the two later censuses
excluded the hand trades, the building
| trades, and the neighborhood indus
tries, and took account of only estab
lishment conducted under the factory
system In the last census also, as in
! that for 1904, statistics were not col
lected for industries having a product
! for the census year of a value less
than $500, except that reports were
taken for establishments idle during
a portion of the year 1909, or which
began operation during that year, ant
whose products for such reason were
less than $500.
The word establishment" as uset
in the thirteenth census, may meal
more than one mill or plant, provid
ed they are owned or controlled an,
! operated by single individual, part
nership, corporation, or other owne
or operator, and are located in tn
same town or city.

endar year. ending December 81, 1905

Advantages in Use of
Hydro-Electric Power

AS the hydro-electric power of the
keokuk and Hamilton dam will be

several months previous to that date
1t Is not too early for manufacturers
who might change location because
OF cheaper power to give considera-
ton to the exact cost that their pres.

en- all the data submitted to manufac.
turers is the cost of fuel and part

Small Republics.

Klein-Alp is diminutive republic
tucked away between Switzerland and
France. Only In summer is the re-
public inhabited and then by miners
and cowgirls. There is one hotel,
closed during the winter Another lit
tie republic IL in Tyrol, between Aus
tria and Italy, and In long gone years
was under the Jurisdiction of first a
king and then an emperor. But in the
adjustment of frontier lines the state
of Val di ventino was in some way
overlooked, and 1t promptly organized
itself into a Lililputian republic. 1t
has now about 1000 Inhabitants, liv-
ing In six villages. Neither Val di
Ventino or Klein-Alp have any taxes.
There are no officials or compulsory
military service The only industry
of Val di Ventino. aside from the
farming of small fields, is charcoal
burning.

AS to fuel: If you use any waste
material from plant, charge as cost,
the amount you could sell it for. 1t
may possibly be sold for more than
you imagine. Add the extra expenses
incurred by accidental and unexpected
shut-downs that happen in even the
best of plants and often at the most
inopportune time. If caused by lack
of power to run the machinery, power
account should be charged with same.
Then cost of oil, belts and all sup
plies used on power plant or trans
mission to the machine pulleys
These costs so found compared with
the advantages of hydro electricity
will develop margin OF from 33 20
| so per cent in favor of the latter
| form of power. 1t is delivered at the
! factory and the turning of switch
| controls it. 1t is always ready and
there is no delay In getting up steam.
! One of the big companies in the east,
the great Westinghouse Electric com
pany. after using steam, found after
thorough tests that using electric
/ power resulted in saving of 1925 per
cent on usual ten-hour service basis
or 41.6 per cent on constant twenty
four hour service basis. Here you
would use less horsepower to produce
the same result.
/ Hydro-electric power is continuous
and there are no costly delays at
! critical times. Space should not be
wasted in a manufacturing plant
Machinery should be arranged without
4 regard to line shafts and thus produce
the greatest possible results from each
square foot of floor and also save in
trucking from one machine to another
The center of the plant would be bet
ter lighted through having no line
shafts, belts or pulleys.
Here, the manufacturer would not
only use less horsepower, but get it
at a much less rate 1t is never af-
fected by floods, droughts, nor Sc.
verest wintry weather, and never goes
on strike, 1t is always ready.
About one-third less power is used
in an electrical equipped power plant
than in one equipped with steam
power"
This reduction in cost makes posi-
BILE increase OF output without the pro-
portionate increase Of production. In
creased demand will require enlarged
capacity Of the plant and the manufac-
: turer will be in better position to
meet all attempted competition

in France. That country had large

Cause For Alarm
Loss OF Appetite or Distress After
Eating a Symptom That Should
not Be OiSregarded

Appetite is just natural desire for
food. Loss of appetite or stomach dis
tress after eating indicate indigestion
or dyspepsia. Over-eating is habit
very dangerous to PERSONS good gen.
eral health.
1t is not what you eat but what you
digest and assimilate that does you
good. Some of the strongest, heaviest
and healthest people are mod crate
eaters.
There is nothing that will cause more
trouble than disordered stomach, and
many people daily contract serious
maladies simply through disregard or
abuse of the stomach.
We urge all in Yale who suffer from
any stomach arrangement, indigestion,
or dyspepsia, whether acute or chronic,
to try Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets, with
the distinct understanding that we will
refund their money without question
or fOrmality, if after reasonable use of
this medicine, they are not perfectly
satisfied with the results. We recon-
mend them to our customers every day,
and have yet to hear of any one who
has not been benefited by them We
honestly believe them to be without
equal. They give very prompt relief,
aiding to neutralze the gastric juices,
strengthen the digestive organs, to regu-
late the bowels, and thus to promote
perfect nutrition, and eradicate all un-
healthy symptoms.
We urge you to try 25c. box of
Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets, which gives
ID days treatment. At the end of that
time, your money will be returned to
you if you are not satisfied. OF course
in chronic cases length of treatment
varies. For such cases, we have two
large sizes, which sell for SOC. and $l.0O.
Remember, you can obtain Rexall
Remedies in this community only at our
store The Rexall Store. Grant Holden
