distilled bottled water, or water that
has been boiled. A simple measure,
which has been the means of saving
many lives, is to boil all drinking wat

it through absorbent cotton to remove
any Specks of dirt which may have
been precipitated from the water in
the boiling process, and to put the
water into clean bottles or other YES
sells, first rinsing them in water that
has been boiled, and then cooling the
water on ice, or otherwise. The bot.

found to be pleasant to drink aid per
fectly wholesome.
mo reliance should be placed in the
filters attached to the faucet, as they

fever.
For the washing of food that is to
be eaten raw, and for the rinsing OF
household or dairy utensils, use water
which has been boiled.
All milk, the source of which is
not absolutely free from suspicion
should be boiled or brought to the

Raw shell fish should not be eaten
at time when typhoid fever is prev.
alent. Cooking destroys the germs.
Avoid indigestible food, green
fruit, or other things liable to set up
indigestion and diarrhoea, and to rem.
der the system more susceptible to
infection.

Cases of typhoid fever on a dairy
farm should be at once removed to a
hospital, and the sale of milk stopped
until after the final disinfection has
been performed. When typhoid few.
err is prevalent every case of diarrhoea
is to be suspected, and should be
treated as case of typhoid. All de-

THE NEWSPAPER AND THE
PRIMARY.

Now and then some Jealous friend
OF a candidate will enquire why the
Herald does not come out and declare
itself in favor of the best men for
nominations to be made at the pri.
maries in June. If the questioner
would stop to think he could readily
see that such move by local paper
would be suicidal.
After nominations are made it is
the privilege and the duty of party
papers to support the men selected by
the majority of the organization
which the paper champions. This
can be done without giving Offense
hacause it is generally understood
that the considerations governing
such favoritism are purely political
and in no sense personal.
But before the nominations are
made, any preference expressed or i'm
piled must be based on personal
grounds, and it is not the province OF
d newspaper to be governed by its
likes and dislikes. Such a course
would be fatal to its influence and
usefulness. Besides a newspaper is
not invested with authority to pick

the individual voter who is supposed
to be acquainted with the several
candidates and their respective mer.

WHAT HOLDEN SAYS.
Seed Corn Expert Says Farmers Must
Depend on Iowa Corn.

Iowa farmers must depend upon
Iowa seed; first, because home grown
seed gives better results, and second
because other states, with the excep
ton of Indiana, are in worse condi,
ton than Iowa and will have none to
spare.
Every ear of corn intended for
seed should be tested. 1t is simply a
business proposition. There is abso
lutely nothing to lose and everything
to gain. The tests this year show the
seed to be unusually freakish. Many
ears are dead on one side and alive
on the other. There will be big patch.
es that are dead on some ears while
the rest of the kernels are strong,
Kernels for testing should be taken
from both sides of the ear from tip,

Nobody can afford to guess that

THE NEW PENSION BILL

By vote of 81 to 16 the Senate on
Friday night rejected the Sherwood

passed the House, and enacted the

increase the pension roll by $4,000.

years.
The Sherwood bill was estimated to
involve an additional pension expendi.
ture averaging s56,OOO,000 a year for
five years. The Smoot bill was the
substitute offered by the pensions
committee
The bill requires beneficiaries to
have served ninety days and provides
pensions ranging from s13 to $50 a
month. instead of a sixty-day mini
mum and SIS to $50 pension, as in
he House measure.
The Senate added provisions that
would prohibit attorneys fees and
that would grant $50 a month to
former soldiers disabled by service,
wounds or disease, the latter being es-
timated to add s2,5OO,0OO to the annual
outlay under the bill.
The entire negative vote on the fin
al passage of the bill was cast by dem.
ocratic senators from southern states.
The northern democrats voted with
the republicans for the bill.
During the debate Senator Over
mans reference to the burdens of the
southern people because of pension
legislation brought a pointed reply
from Senator William Alden Smith, of
Michigan.
Il remind the senator that this en-
tire pension burden could have been
avoided by the South if it had been
loyal to the Union" said Mr. Smith.

ators from the South complain of bur
dens our government has been called
upon to bear because of your own
unwillingness to live with us under the
same flag and in a united country"

FORGOTTEN Fund Found.

Clarinda, April 2.-Special: A
pleasing discovery has been made
here that in one of the city banks Is
a deposit of $500, which has been
there for twenty-nine years forgot
ten. The money belongs to the pub
lie, and the accumulated interest has
increased the deposit to a little more
than $l,1O0. Twenty-Five years ago
the sum of $500 was secured by pub
lie subscription to build a soldiers
monument. For some reason the
project was allowed to languish and
the money, placed on deposit by the
Treasurer of the committee, was for
gotten. Recently however, the matter
was brought to public notice again,
and then it was shown how the
money had grown. With this nucleus
the old soldiers went to work, and
have secured total now of about
$4,000 to be used in the erection of
the monument, the plans of the local
G.. A. r. post being to increase the
sum to $1,000.

With the blanks furnished, it is very

at our meeting a few nights ago as

Taxes Must Be Raised.

While we have lost by the closing
of the saloons practically 25 per cent
of the revenue used for the city eX-
penses, yet, We might just as we'll
prepare for additional taxes. If we
are not to have saloons in the future,
we will either have to raise this reve-
nue. from a different source or else
allow our city to go back, and this,
the people will not permit; if we are
to have saloons, in the future, We can
| lower the rate of taxation when we
