siasm the Swedish people celebrate
their great holiday, May /, even If
they have to wrap themselves in blan-
kets, as they do at Hasselbacken and
at the larger inns and restaurants
through the country in the early
spring. Or watch them around mid
summer and note how afraid they are
to miss a single day or hour of the
beautiful spring air. Little wonder
that the Swedes enjoy the short sum-
mer months, when they have such
long, cold winters. These long winter
nights, with their cold and snow,
makes the Swedish people long for
milder and SUMMER chimes and new
scenes and this, to my way of think
ing, is perhaps the greatest reason
why they leave their beautiful coun-
try in such large numbers

OF all the rules submitted by the
Swedish Olympic committee to the
United States in order that the ath-
letes who will represent this country
in the games in Sweden next summer
may go abroad fully conversant with
what they are to expect the one which
is causing the most discussion among
the runners in the United States is
that governing the starting Of the
races. The rule states that all the
races will be started by the report of
a pistol, and that no runner shall
touch the ground in front of the
scratch line with any part of his body.
There is no stipulation made regard
ing false starts. 1t is certain that the
New York committee will question
this rule. At the Olympic games in
London there was some discussion
about just such a ruling. The authori-
ties in this country are anxious to
avoid any repetition Of this kind. In
other respects the rules governing the
running races are identical with those
in the United States.

An exchange says: Women played
q considerable part in the recent cleo
lions in Sweden. They have not got
the vote, Of course, like the women of
Norway, but they have been carrying
on an active campaign for suffrage for
several years, and they seem at last
to have made an impression on the
governing powers. For the Conserva-
tiyss, against whom they threw all
their energies, have been beaten. To
assist their allies, the Liberals and
Social Democrats, the suffragettes es-
tablished a committee in every con-
stituency, and held 217 meetings dur
ing the election. One Of their leaders
made thirty-five speeches, but their
campaign was not marked by any out
breaks Of violence against their op-
ponents OF the government. The Swe-
dish s~uffragettes seems 70 have cam
paigned on the lines of peaceful per-
suasion from the first. And perhaps
that is why the mere man in Sweden
seems to have listened to them"

The Nobel prize awards for the
present year are calculated to give
little ground for self complacency to
Americans. Though the formal an
louncement of the awards were not
made until Dec. 10, which was the
anniversary of the founders death,
the prospective recipients were known
beforehand. The prize for chemistry
went to Nine. Curie, chief professor
OF science in the University Of Paris,
who, with her husband, discovered
radium. The prize for physics, which
1t was believed some time ago would
be awarded to Thomas A. Edison, the
American inventor, went instead TO
Professor Wilhelm Wien Of Wuerz-
berg university. Maurice Materlinck,
the well known Belgian author and
playwright, will receive the literary
prize, while the prize in medicine will
be awarded to Professor Allvar Gull
strand of the faculty of medicine at
Upsala university, for research work
in connection with his study of the
eye. In the eleven years of the Nobel
foundation prizes have been awarded to
sixty individuals and to two peace So
cieties. Only two Of the sixty have
been Americans. A prize in physics
vas awarded to A. A. Nicholson of the
University OF Chicago, a German by
birth, and one of the peace prizes
went to President Roosevelt for his
services in promoting peace between
Russia and Japan. So far no other
American has been recognized as
worthy of the distinguished honor.

CHANGING The SYSTEM
In Conformity With Post Office De-
partment Rulings This Office Try
ing To Collect Delinquent
Subscriptions

A letter was sent to we'll to do
reader few days ago stating that
a recent ruling of the Department
required that no paper enter the
malls ae second class matter that
ia more than a year in arrears unless
a one cent stamp is affixed, and ask
ing remittance and this is the re-
ply we received "As we did not or
der the paper you will cancel it off
the list" Signed
And this was our reply: Ny Dear
Mr.. j. Your card is at hand and in
reply will ask you to be fair, and let
US put the case this way. Suppose
now that your neighbours COW
should have come to your place
Jan. 1905 THE paper did-and
you should have MIXED her and
have had her increase for five years
could you expect to be entitled to
the COW, her milk and her increase
without notifying your neighbor
his COW was on your premises? We
know how you would regard it Mr..
j, it answers itself. We feel that
way about this paper. We have al
ways discontinued sending the pa
per to our readers when notified to
that effect whether they send the
amount due us or not. In your case
you have received it for five years
and we know you to be an honor
able man and would not think Of
cheating your neighbor out of the
COW, her milk, or her increase for
five years. The amount due US ia
five dollars, and we shall thank you
as neighbor to pay for the use Of
the COW, the milk aud increase, in
other words the Audubon County
Journal for five years, $500
Very Respectfully, etc.

Views Afoot
WE DO EAT THEM STILL

OF course we all know that the cost
of living has not changed SO much as
have the peoples habits of eating in the
past twenty years. Bread, potatoes,
beans, Johnny cake, oatmeal, hominy,
coffee and sugar are not SO mnch high
er than they used to be. The notable
advance is in butter, eggs and meat
which really represent mparatively
small fraction of our total food supply.
The trouble is that people nowadays
eat canned stuff, breakfast foods, Ma
DISCO waters, pastries, salads and other
high priced foods. Nor is there any
other reason than the appeal to the pa
late, for this new-fangled diet is Ger
tainly no more nutritious than was the
old one, while it costs two or three
times as much.
In this CONGESTION the quarrel be-
tween Golfers Weekly and c. W. Post,
manufacturer of Grape Nuts, Postum,
Post Toasties, etc, is interesting. Col
liers has long insisted that these foods
are not what Mr.. Post represented
them to be. Mr.. Post replied that Col.
ller's was simply trying by blackmail
to force him to advertise in its columns.
Golfers answer was suit for $4,000.
or malicious libel.
There were two interesting results of
this suit which was recently tried. The
first was that Golfers was awarded the
entire $50, ,00e. The second was what
Golfers proved about POSTS food pro-
ducts, Grape Nuts was shown to be
practically equivalent, as regards COM
position, to ordidary brown bread, pull
verized and roasted. Yet Post has
claimed that one pound of Grape Nuts
contains as much nutriment as ten
pounds ofmeat, that it is an effieacious
'brain food," that it is a preventive Of
appendicitis and SO on.
And 80 it goes. All of POSTS other
foods were shown to be simply grain
preparations, perhaps as nutritious
pound for pound, as ordinary bread or
oatmeal. But as we all know, they cost
from ten to twenty cents per pound.
Doubtless, too, most of the above things
are true ofother foods besides POSTS.
We should not deceive ourselves. Or
dlnary graham flour is in the same class
as Cream Of Wheat for instance, and
old-fashioned cookies will give at least
as much strength to the arm as Unee-
da Biscuits or Force. But we may
well pause to reflect how much good
hard money we have wasted during
the past ten years on these fancy foods
at fifteen cents per pound.

Mrs. Spoo, of this city, who is
known all over western Iowa as Ma
SpoO on account of the very excel
lent manner in which che manages
her fine restaurant, which is mo-
del in its line, had an opportunity
to go with Mrs. Maude Oldaker on
m excursioh to Missi n, Texas, and
not having vacation for many
years, che concluded to make the
trip and started for that point Mon
day. The question of tie manage
nent of this popular bakery, eating
house, confectionery, hostelry de-
wolves upon Mrs. Charles Hunt,
who has been named Ma and Her
man Barnholdt as Pa. They will
endeavor to hold the trade together
until Ma returns, which will be in
about ten days. Mrs. Spoo will no
doubt invest in fine fruit farm in
that semi- tropical climate where
she can raise fruits and vegetables
for her customers here. Mrs. Spoo
has been closely kept to her busi-
ness, from many years ago to the
present. Her line of work deman-
ded close attention. Ma, altho frail
of body, is giant in ambition
with pleasing personality, endear-
ing her TO all having business in
her line. She has earned q rest and
we trust the trip to the Coast coun-
try will give her pleasure and re-
cuperstion of any lost energy she
may have sustained in her strenu-
ons career. We hope that she will
buy q farm, which may prove a
pleasure to her hereafter. Her ira.
Yelling companion will look after
her welfare, she will be in good
hands. And Ma 2 and Pa will keep
things going in their quiet, clean
and orderly way at the restaurant.
A pleasant journey ladies.
