CONSTANT DRAIN ON NATION
Cost of tuberculosis and Other Pre-
ventable Diseases Has Been
Put Into Figures.

While state commissions and other
bodies are trying to find method for
reducing the cost of life insurance,
Prof. James w. Glover Of the Uni
versity of Michigan demonstrates that
every policy-holder of $4,000 or
binary whole life policy could save
about $40 a year on his premiums if
tuberculosis and typhoid fever were
eliminated. tuberculosis alone causes
a loss to such a policy holder of from
$1670 at twenty to $3.50 at the age
OF sixty. At age of twenty, with the
present high death rate from tubercu-
losis, this one disease alone shortens
the complete expectation of life by
two years and 1873 days. While the
death rate from tuberculosis seems to
be declining, the National Association
for the Study and Prevention of Tuber-
culosis says that the combined effort
of every man, woman and child Is nee
essary to bring about a radical reduc-
ton in life insurance rates such as
Professor Glover has indicated.

~i'M ONLY A LITTLE GIRL
Failing Eyesisht Responsible for an
Old Mans Mistake-Rebuke
Hardly Effective.

A certain group of youngsters in an
exclusive West side residential section
had been very noisy throughout the
forenoon.
The children were still doing their
utmost to initiate a bedlam, when a
very angry old man appeared at the
door of nearby apartment house. He
was quite old. and it was evident that
his eyesight was not the best, but he
finally succeeded in picking out a
youngster who was aiding very strenu-
ously in the noise making.
The aged man walked over to the
child, took it by the hand and walked
back to the apartment. When he
reached the doorway he turned to the
child and said:
Don't you know it's against the
law, to make so much noise?"
Yes, SIR" was the meek reply.
well, don't you know that you'll
be arrested and put in jail, and then
you can never be president of the
United States?"
Please, sir?" replied the child, Il
don't care; I'm only a little GIRL

TIMELY SUGGESTIONS.

Small pieces of toilet soap, too small
to use. should be kept In q small jar,
and when a sufficient amount is col
lected boil with water until dissolved.
Use this liquid soap for the shampoo,
and there never will be the possibility
of having small particles left in the
hair. This is an excellent soap for
the children to use, and they like 1t,
too, especially the boy with the grimy
hands.
Milk that is slightly scorched may
be redeemed by putting 1t into a clean
dish and letting 1t stand in cold
water.
A good way to warm rolls or muf-
fins: Lay a cloth in a colander or a
sieve. and place the rolls In it over
the teakettle; the water can be boil.
ing for the tea or coffee and the rolls
heating at the same time.
Every cellar should have partition
or closet shut on from the rest, where
the potatoes, fruit and perishable
foods may be kept at temperature
below fifty.
A most dainty dessert and one
which, If the materials are at hand,
may be prepared in a short time is
the following: Peel and cut in halves
sufficient peaches for the number to
serve. Whip cream, sweeten and fla.
vor and few marshmallows cut into
quarters.
Another unusual peach dessert is
this: Place the halves Of very ripe
peaches on slices of angel cake and
pour over sweetened whipped cream.
Do not tax the brain after a hearty
meal, as the blood is all needed in the
digestion of the food; If both func-
lions are at work, one must suffer.
Grape fruit salad with a French
dressing is an excellent digester at the
end of heavy meal, and makes an
appropriate dessert
Asparagus is said to be an excel
lent remedy for rheumatism; it is at
least a pleasant one, and leaves no
such after effects as many of the rheu-
matism medicines do.
When cooking beans for Boston
baked beans, always soak them over
night, and a little soda added while
they are parboiling will soften the
skins.
Beans should be baked at least eight
hours in a moderate oven. Keep them
covered until the last hour. A little
mustard added to the molasses gives
a good flavor to pot of beans. Many
like an onion baked with them for
flavor

IT Is CRIMINAL TO NEGLECT
THE SKIN AND HAIR

Think Of the suffering entailed by
neglected skin troubles-mental be-
cause of designation, physical be-
cause of pain. Think of the pleasure
of clear skin, soft, white hands, and
good hair. These blessings, so essen
tial to happiness and even success in
life, are often only matter of little
thoughtful care in the selection Of
effective remedial agents. Cuticura
Soap and Ointment do so much for
poor compilations, red. rough hands,
and dry, thin and falling hair, and cost
80 little, that it is almost criminal not
to use them. Although Cuticura Soap
and Ointment are sold everywhere, a
postal to "Cuticura," Dept. L, Bos-
ton, will secure a liberal sample of
each, with 32-page booklet on skin
and scalp treatment.

MOTHER AND
DAUGHTER MEETS
HAMBURG HOME SCENE OF UN-
USUAL REUNION WHEN CHILD
GREETS PARENT.

Hamburg, Dec. 3-The arrival or
Mr. and Mrs. F. r. Moore and their
3-year-old daughter of Chicago at Hotel
Julien and the inquiries they made for
parties, began the unfolding Of tale
as interesting and pathetic as ever
was told in fiction. A good story
often begins with the grandparents,
and so does this.
Many years ago there lived in Appa-
moose county, Mr.. and Mrs. William
Rucker and their little daughter. They
started across the country on visit.
In fording a swollen stream the team
was swept down. the mother was
crushed and killed, and the father,
clasping the little girl in his arms,
foated down till he struck place
where he could stand and kept the
child above water. Vainly he cried for
help till his voice failed him. AfttN
hours of waiting he was rescued but
he later died from effects Of exposure
and exhaustion. The little girl was left
alone in the world. ~
In the course Of time she went to
Council Bluffs, and met Tom South,
whom she married 1t is said that
after his death a girl baby was born.
The mother, not being able to care for
the child, allowed it to be adopted int
a good family. Hence the mother and
child were separated. The mother IN
time was married to Mr.. Clark. The
little girl child Is now Mrs. F. Il.
Moore and the occasion Of her being
here was to find the mother, whom she
did not remember ever to have seen.
Mrs. Clark and her. husband came
last week from Glenwood and are
stopping with Mrs. Elizabeth Vaughan,
mother of Jim and Neal Shoemake and
step grandmother to Mrs. Clark at the
Jim Shoemake farm southeast OF town.
Only short time ago the mother
learned Of the address of her long lost
daughter and wrote to her. The daugh
ter and her husband did not wait to
write but started for Glenwood. on
arriving there they learned the Clarks
had come here and they followed.
They found Wissis Vaughn, who was
going to Jim .Shoemakes for Thanks
giving dinner and went with him, and
there the joyful reunion Of the mother
and her daughter occurred.

STATE COLLEGE

DOMESTIC SCIENCE EXPERTS
FROM AMES TO DEMONSTRATE
ut BEEF CUTS IN BOOTH.

Ames, Dec. 3.-Porterhouse steaks
and rib roasts are good, but they are
not the only. choice cuts of meat In
the carcass of fat steer and the do
nestle science experts Of Iowa state
college are going to prove 1t to the
visitors at the international live stock
show in Chicago.
They will be in charge of a booth
in the big exhibition hall where they
will demonstrate the value Of cheaper
cuts of beef and mutton and show how
to use them.
After he has consulted with the In
ternational management, Dean Chas.
F, Curtiss of the agricultural division
of the college was asked to arrange
for such a demonstration. He put the
work in charge Of Miss Catharine }.
MacKay, head of the home economics
department of the college. and Miss

give their entire time to the unique
work set for them. ...-.<..
