Divorce in Iowa.

Iowa statistics of divorce as prepar-
ed for the forthcoming Iowa Red Book
are not prideful figures. Read them ::
One out of every seven couples that
are married take their matrimonial
troubles into court.
One out of every ten couples mar
ried is divorced.
Eighty per cent of the divorce &C
tons instituted in court are not con-
tested by the defendant spouse.
Less than five per cent of the divor-
vorcees are given permission to re-
marry within one year, the Iowa law
forbidding remarriage within that
length of time without special per-
mission of the judge granting the di-
vorce decree.
Grundy and Butler counties have
the smallest number of divorces-two
each.
This brief and astonishing summary
of domestic life in Iowa is not to the
credit of the state as whole. Can
we realize that the average of one in
seven names that practically three out
of the twenty families on a city resi-
dence block have been in the divorce
court; that two out of the families on
that same city block have been di-
vorced. And that means one out
of every ten families of children has
been divided and perhaps separated
and that accounts for the population
of reform schools and the growing
number of neglected children, master
less youths and girls without mothers
worthy the name.
Grundy and Butler redeem the state
as for as two counties out of ninty-
nine may do. Among those Germanic
farmers in those two counties but two
out of the entire population, town and
county, found it necessary to go into
court in settlement of their domestic
difficulties. The suggestion is that the
simple life is the way to peace and
happy domesticity. Neither Grundy Nv,
Butler are in the giddy wffif. They
are keeping homes, earning farms,

SCIENTIFIC MYSTERIES.
The Problems Of Mind, Life, Gravita'
ton and Electricity.

A most remarkable state, condition
or point in nature. the absolute zero
Of temperature, has been reached to
within three degrees. This is con-
sidered to be a great scientific achieve
ment. Hydrogen gas was soliditied
into pure white ice. and this was EN-
ployed in the process Of cooling he
lium, and all works Of the hand of
man were surpassed. The temperature
sank lower and lower until point
only three degrees from absolute was
reached, but the obdurate helium did
not even Iiquefy.
The Imagination, however vivid. can
not encompass what this intense cold
implies. 1t may be the death OF the
activity of matter-that is. state OF
rest so far as chemical reaction is con-
cerned. Thus if the true zero OF ma
ture can be reached it may obtain that
matter will put on new aspects and
hitherto unknown properties. or it may
expire, become chemically inert. total

Nothing known can affect the uni
versal attraction, forever directly as to
mass, whether hot or cold.
However. the three degrees may
never be overcome, or. indeed. they
may, for it is now thought that science

The capital problem is first to dis
cover what mind is, then life. next

a climax in finding how it is that CASE

assins. No progress whatever has been

SWAT THE FLY.
An Aggressive Warfare on the Fly
Nuisance-Ciean Up
Campaign.

Des Moines, May 15.-The slogan of
every man, woman and child in the
state of Iowa, during the coming sum-
mer, should be: Swat the Fly
Either man must kill the fly or the
fly will kill the man.
The fly is the most dangerous germ
carrier to be found in this latitude, as
by nature it is filthy and its familiar
habits make it exceedingly dangerous
to the health and life of mankind. The
fly is responsible for large proper
ton of all cases of typhoid fever and
diarrhoeal diseases of infants and is
certainly an element of danger in the
spread of tuberculosis and other con
tagious diseases. Flies have caused
thousands of deaths in Iowa and will
continue to devastate and destroy I'M
til the people are awakened to the
necessity for an aggressive warfare
IT, eXterminate this nuisance.
~ the first place, flies breed in
filth. Without filth there could be no
flies. 1t is stated that more than 80
tlr cent of the flies breed in stable
manure and the rest in garbage and
open outhouses. The most potent fac
tor in an aggressive warfare against
them is to remove all filth from al
leys and yards and to have all out
houses and closets protected against
them.
There should be thorough cleanup
at once. Stable manure should be
kept in vaults or boxes, screened or
covered or should be sprinkled with
lime or kerosene and removed at
least once a week. All garbage recep-
tacles and privy vaults should be made
fly proof.
All doors and windows, especially
of the kitchen and dining room should
be screened, in fact the house should
be made inaccessible to the fly. Food
exposed for sale should be screened
and ordinances to this effect should be
enacted and enforced.
Flies should, by all means, be kept
away from the sick. A national health
bulletin says: eff you saw fly magni-
fed until it was as big as a full grown
hen and saw the fly light on the blood
spit of a consumptive, in a cuspidor
and then fly away with its feet covered
with the germs of consumption and
light on the nipple of the milk bottle
being sucked by your child, and after
wards saw your child die of con-
sumption, you would not charge the
death of the child to Divine wisdom,
but to human ignorance in permitting
the fly to disease the child" There
fore, keep the flies away from the
milk.
Don't allow flies in your house.
Don't let flies crawl over the baby
and swarm upon the nipples of its
nursing bottle.
SWAT THE FLY and remember
there is more health in a we'll
screened house than in many a doc
tors visit.
A good device to be used in the cam
paign against the fly is trap con-
structed of wire screen so made as to
gather them in large numbers in a
most expensive and sanitary way. For
further particulars, address this de-
partment. Aretas E. kepford, State

THURSDAY, SEPT 2t, 1911,
AUTUMN IS HERE.

The almanac makers insist this is
the day that divides summer and aut-
umn--and from now till Dec. Fl the
people will be enjoying the glorious
fall of the year.
North Dakotans, long age, learned
that the fall months were the most
pleasant Nine years out of ten the
rainfall is not very heavy. In most
instances the temperature Is cool-but
not too cold. The nights and the
mornings are such that light oyercoat
feels comfy but the rest of the day
is usually delightful. North Dakotans
are anticipating a glorious sixty days
or more before the chilling blasts come.
This is also the date on which the
equinoxial storms are supposed to ar
rive. On the coast they frequently
come with remarkable precision. So
far inland as North Dakota they rarely
make schedule time.

CANADIAN RECIPROCITY

Across the international boundary
line today there is battle of the bal
lots over the reciprocity treaty. Each
side is predicting a victory. The re-
suits are being eagerly watched by two
nations and the greatest interest is
aroused.
The bitter fight in congress on this
side excited the people OF the United
States and caused a lot of bitterness.
But victory was comparatively easy
for outside the strictly agricultural
western and northwestern states the
rest Of the country wanted the treaty
Over in Canada the legislative forces
had rougher sailing and the advocates
Of reciprocity were unable to pass the
measure SO easily as was done on this
side. The Canadian parliament was
finally adjourned special election
was ordered--and an appeal made to
the people. Today's balloting win tell
the result.
The contest on the other side has
been especially bitter. II is fight for
the political life Of Laurier who is
pushing the measure. He is opposed
by the railroads. the elevators and the
anti annexationists. The latter have
made bitter attack on reciprocity,
claiming It was the forerunner OF the
annexation Of Canada by the United
States
On the I4aurier side a religious phase
has entered. His French and Catholic
friends are reported to be ralIying to
his support and 1t is claimed through
that alliance he will win and reciproc-
ity will be endorsed.
A majority OF North Dakotans hope
the Canadians will defeat the measure
but 1t Is undoubtedly true that a ma
tority of the people or the United
States are hoping for the success Of
the Canadian supporters of reciproc.
ity.

How to Carve : Goose.

The turkey Is not the only insect
suitable for q table by any means.
There is its half step-cousin-i in law,
the goose, that noble animal which is
nine parts bone and one part pessin-
ism. A nineteen pound goose will pro-
vide enough meat for one person, II
he is a vegetarian, but getting the
meat Off the goose Is one of the tricks
which every householder must learn.
The first step in the carving OF
goose is to get a life insurance policy.
You can do this providing you have
the price and can pass a medical ex-
animation. Some men prepare to
carve a goose by joining a fraternal
insurance society. Then you put on
rubber suit and so into the room alone
with the goose The only implements
you need are carving knife, crosscut
| saw. crowbar four sticks OF dynamite,
one for each corner of the goose; one ak,
hammer and nails, Jackpiane. chisel
and burglar outfit
First remove the wings. You will
| find that the wings do not hook on
under the collar button OF the goose
as they do on the turkey, but are fas-
/ tened on the bridge OF the goose be-
tween the pilot house and the walking
beam. You tackle the wings with your
ak, but you will probably have to make
| several strokes, as the goose Is a very
active bird In his stuffed and roasted
state, and when You hit him. you are
| just as apt as not TO find him back Of
the clock on the dining room nantel.
or on the top shelf of the china closet
| After starting the removal or the
wings with the ak, YOU can finish up
with the crowhar and crosscut saw
after mailing the goose tirnly to the
floor. The legs you remove with the
dynamite and you open the goose with
the burglar outfIt IN order to get al
the dressing. Burglar and freprooi
geese must, of course, be handled by
more strenuous methods.
That Ii shout all that can be said
In a general way OF course, every
goose has some characteristic that nc
other geese have and the carver nusi
use his own judgment In overcoming
them. The goose We carved disap.
pearad through window after we hit
him the fourth time with the AZ. ant
we think he landed III our next dool
neighbor's chimney as our neighbour
stove has smoked ever since.
