DRINKING CUP A FOE
 TO PUBLIC HEALTH.
Attention Should Be Given to 1t Fol-
 lowing Water Supply.

Dr. Joseph H. Townsend, secretary of the state board of health, takes q shot at the common drinking cup as a foe to public health. He says
 Several states by statutory enact ment or by regulation of their state boards of health have prohibited the use of the common drinking cup. Kan sas was the pioneer in the movement and since the first day of September, 1909 the common drinking cup has been banished from all trains, depots and schools in the state of Kansas. Michigan Oklahoma Massachusetts and some other states soon adopted similar legislation.
 Whether the common drinking cup is capable of conveying infection other than that of syphilis is uncertain. There are no authoritative instances on record where tuberculosis has been conveyed in this manner although the popular belief seems to be that it is so transmitted. It is, however, posi- lively known that syphilis can be transmitted in this way. although there are not many cases that can be cited. but if the common drinking cup can be held responsible for sulh in lection it's abolition is deserving of serious consideration.
 It is becoming more and more the practice among people to avoid the use of the common drinking cup and to provide themselves when travelling with a collapsible cup of paraffine paper or metal, which may be carried in the pocket or handbag. There are automatic slot machines manufactured by several commercial concerns from which travellers can procure para fine paper cup at the small cost of q penny each. With this apparatus in stalled on trains, staamboats and in public buildings, the general public can have the opportunity of supplying themselves with q clean and sanitary method of drinking at small cost.
 Aside from the possibility of lnfec- tion. it is repulsive to most people to be compelled to use a cup that is pro- miscuously used by others. These should be banished from our public parks and school. Where there is a supply of running water there are va rious styles of bIbbling cups on the market which should be supplied. In the small country school with no public water supply each pupil can provide himself with his own cup.
 The public drinking cup cannot be held responsible for the ills caused by impure water supplies. The first. step in order is to give attention to the water supply, anc next the drinking cup. With a supply of pure water and sanitary drinking vessels the public is fully protected from all danger, and many a man, woman or child receive perhaps their first lesson in sanitation at well cared for public drinking fountain.

BUYS Fine Hog.

N. Richert of Hesper township
was at Mason City last week, at
tending the big sale of Duroc Jer-
sey red brood sows. Thirty-two
head belonging to Balmat & Son
sold on an average of $72.10 pei
head, and forty head were sold by
Col. Mossman at an average price OF
$51.44 per head. The Balmat herd
have been prize winners at both the
Minnesota and Iowa state fairs, and
is conceded to be one of the best
herds of red hogs in the west.
Mr.. Richert purchased for his
herd Model Belle 25O,S56, a splen-
did animal, sired by Model Improv-
er, last years champion boar, sired
March 10, 1910, and weighing 900
pounds. This is fine animal, and
will make splendid addition to his
herd of Duroc Jerseys, a breed which
is rapidly taking the lead in many
sections of the country.

on the farmer. He is worthy of his

in or out of congress which would
lessen his profits, but instead that
his prosperity continue so that his

tive that the sons and daughters
will always think that there is no
place like farm for their future
home. Respectfully,

RECIPROCITY WITH CANADA.
What ii Would Mean to Iowa. Dis
cussed by Careful Student
of Affairs.

This question is a serious one to
Iowa farmers. We have everything
to lose and nothing to gain by any
free trade agreement with British
America.
What can we of Iowa, a purely
farming state, sell to Canada ?
Nothing. But last year we gave her
thousands of settlers to help open
up her vast prairies stretching from
Montana to near the Alaska borders.
Was it any wonder that Iowa popu-
lation fell off?
What can Canada do for Iowa ?
Remove the duty and the Iowa farm
er on his high priced lands must
compete with Canada's cheap lands,
not only in the growing of wheat,
barley and oats, but also in the
growing of cattle horses and sheep.
1t will be as a few years ago,
when Iowa had to compete with the
western ranges; since then, those
ranges have been opened up to ac-
tual settlers, and the large herds
have been disposed of and the Iowa
farmer has prospered; not so much
in his actual profits from farming,
as from the steady advance in the
price of lands.
The farmer is entitled to a good
living and it behooves him to in
sist on his congressman to do moth
ing that will endanger fair profit
on his labors, and if possible en-
courage his sons and daughters to
remain on the farm.
The newspapers are writing about
the high cost of living and the
farmers profits. Are those true?
Today there is not cattle feed
er but who realizes that he has a
loss before him on the cattle he is
feeding grain. Last year in May
and June, he had to pay from to
5 IL cents for cattle suitable for
feeding; now after feeding them
grain say from last fall up to the
present time, they would only bring
from 5 1-2 to 1-2 cents per pound
at the nearest stock yard, and each
cattle feeder knows that he must
have at least cent margin to be
justified in feeding steers, and that
under favorable conditions.
Another thing, there are but few
Iowa farmers who can show 6 per
cent profit on the amount invested
in his farm and personal property
it he will first charge up a reason
able amount for depreciation to his
machinery and for the labor of him.
self and family at the same price he
has to pay for his hired help; he
will not receive per cent interest
On amount invested. Do you be-
lieve this? If you don't believe it,
make your own computation and see
how you come out.
The money the farmer deposits in
the banks of Iowa, represents the
labor of himself, wife and boys, and

HYDROPHOBIA IN CANOE.
Cattle and Hogs Being Killed by
the Dozen. Board of Health
Takes Charge.

Up in Canoe township and in
the adjacent country an epidemic of
hydrophobia has been rapidly
spreading and caused the residents
of that section to take stringent
methods to prevent its increase.
About Christmas time a dog was
brought into that section by visitors.
1t ran about the neighborhood,
biting cattle and hogs and killing
chickens to considerable extent,
and the people suspicioned that per-
haps the dog was mad, and the dog
was killed. The dogs brain was
sent to the state university for an
alysis and the report was an unmis-
taxable case of rabies. The assist
ant state veterinarian also made
personal investigation of the matter,
and confirmed the above. In the
past few days the cattle and hogs
bitten by the dog have developed
hydrophobia, and the owners have
been shooting them by the dozen.
Saturday, at meeting of the
trustees of Canoe township the mat
ter was again taken up with Dr.
Leonard and an attorney, and the
trustees, acting as board Of health,
authorized every dog found at large
in the township without muzzle to
be shot. While this is probably not
very serious matter, yet the loss
has already been considerable, and
it behooves everyone to keep a close
watch and keep their dogs. at home.

Those Iowa booze artists who
have been straining themselves in
an effort to drink up the visible sup
ply of Ticker" might just as we'll
give it up as bad job. Internal
revenue figures show that the manu-
facturers are 110,000,000 gallons
ahead Of last year, having on hand
ct the end Of the year 100000, 100
gallons. However, the fall in the
price of corn from 80 to As cents
will probably affect the price of the
juice, and the faithful may be able
to continue their irrigation projects
