ELECTROLlERS ERECTED.
Comm ittee Has Expended About ST..
200 fer the Entire System, and
the Lights Are Ideal.

The committee in charge OF the
electrolier lighting of the streets in
the paving district has almost COM
p!eted it's labors. 1t is thought that
the work will be installed this week
and lights turned on. There will be
G. eIectrolers erected, each having
5 lights of GO-4O candle power. The
posts are of the three piece cast iron
variety and are thought to be proof
against rust inside or outside. They
are set on concrete bases and the
electric light wires pass through from
conduits throughout the entire sys-
TEN. The city will pay for the lights,
but the electroliers and the work OF
erecting them have been paid for by
the business men and property own
ers of the city. The cost of the sys-
TEN will be between $4100 and $4,000.
The expense OF maintenance and re-
newals will fall on the electric light
company, according to agreement. 1t
is generally agreed that the lighting.
so far as the business district is con-
cerned, will be up to the highest
standard and equal to the highest eX-

fiat on his back without touching
something with his toes or using his
hands or elbows. (Just try this
yourself) Tell him that he can't
stoop over and touch the floor with
his finger tips without bending his
knees. Get him to try it and if he
fails, tell him that he is not the man
he used to be.
If you can get the "old boy to rails
ing chickens of some new breed and
Dragging about them, it will be a
mighty good thing. An "old boy
ninety-four years old called on us one
day, and he was intensity interested
in raising chickens. He told us in
confidence that he had no idea that
there were so many things to be
learned about poultry. If he is not
smart enough to grow chickens and
| likes to putter around a bit, persuade
him to get a hive of bees. They can
teach anybody, old or young, a lot OF
things he never knew before. If he
has some ground, let him raise some
fine seed corn. At any rate, make
him work in the garden. His wife
has no business to work in the garden
unless she insists on it. She has a
plenty of other things to do.
Keep the "old boy" busy but not
too busy. Don't let him run after
street cars or chickens in the garden.
Don't let him take violent exercise of
any kind, but keep him exercising
moderately and shutdown on his feed.
Remind him that when feeding ami
mails on the farm that he used to
study balanced rations, and knew the
difference between the food of sup
port and the food of increase. All he
wants in enough "eatins' to run the
machine, and as the machine is not
dong much work now, it does not
need much fuel Particularly, he does
not want any flesh forming feed.
Therefore, shut down on the meet,
give him bread and butter, pancakes.
Let him have pie, if he wants it. II
he is inclined to eat too much, don't
cook nice things to tempt his ap-
petite. That's simply driving nail
in his coffin. He will eat all he needs;
don't worry about that
1t is the business of the good wife
or daughter to see that he eats prop
erly, exercise moderately, has good
time, and keeps up his interest in
farming. We are positive it will
shorten his days if he stops reading
an agricultural paper, for that will
effect the House of Lords, his brain.
If he eats too much, it will effect the
House of Commons, that is the lower
house; and then the end is not far
off. The "old boy" is worth good
deal in the way of adviser, for he has
learned lot in his lifetime OF hard
work, and can tell the young folks a
good many things that they ought to
know. Keep him with you as long as
YOU can. The "old boy" that advises
always takes his own medicine and
that explains why he is sure and
prods up the other old boys.

Bad Eggs Barred by Pure Food Law

w. B. Barney, pure food and dairy
commissioner, Des Moines, has been
looking up the law. He says that bad
eggs come under the provision of the
law, and has issued a significant
warning to people who are likely to
sell them. He says:
The Iowa pure food law. Section
4999-a22,. part seventh, defines food
as adulterated and prohibits it's sale
"if it consists OF the whole or any
part of diseased, filthy, decomposed
or putrid animal or vegetable SUB
stance" The commissioner holds
that this includes bad eggs.
It is therefore unlawful for the
farmer to sell or offer for sale bad
eggs to the merchant.
1t is also unlawful for the merchant
to sell or offer for sale bad eggs to
his patrons or to jobbers.
In the interest of fair dealing and
the enforcement of law, this depart
ment urges all farms, dealers ana
iobbers to give the widest publicity to
this circular, and to assist in the en-
forcement of the statute by voluntary
compliance with the same. BY SO DO
ing it will not be necessary for pen
allies to be enforced, and the finan-
cial interests of all who sell or handle
eggs will be advanced.
A few suggestions as to the care OF
eggs:
Provide plenty of clean, dry nests.
Eggs should be gathered daily in cold
weather and twice a day in hot or
rainy weather.
Use dirty and small eggs at
home. Do not wash eggs. Keep
YOUR eggs in a cool, dry place,
free from odors. If kept in the eel
lar do not set egg case on a damp
floor. Market eggs as often as posi-
BILE. Keep eggs cool or out of the
sun when taking them to town. Every
farmer should have an egg Gambler
and candle all questionable eggs.
A conservative estimate made by
this department shows that the an
nual loss of eggs to the farmers and
merchants of Iowa is over $7,OOO,OOO
caused by improper care and hand
ling. Is it not worth your while to
consider this matter?
