Commercial Club Meeting

AT the meeting of the Com
mercial Club on last Thursday
evening, business of great mo-
ment to the city and county was
considered and disposed of.
Mr.. ]. w. Johnston of Topeka
was present, representing the
c. r. l. & P. railroad. Mr..
Johnston is the travelling pass
enger agent for Rock Island
roads in Kansas, and he assured
the business men that his road
stood ready to forward any and
all enterprises looking to the
up building of the City and the
County.
Among the arrangements
completed while Mr.. tombstone
was here, was the granting of
special trains to accommodate per-
sons who desire to attend the
Meade County Fair. A train
will be run from Bucklin and
one from Liberal to Meade DUR
ing the fair.
Perhaps the thing which abb
sorbed the most attention and
time, was the consideration of a
proposition looking to the es-
tablishment, in the near future,
of an ice and cold Storage plant
at Meade. Responsible parties
have investigated the feasibility
OF such a business here and
were we'll pleased with the out
look. The club, as body and
as individual business men, gave
the plan all possible encourage
ment. Later, it has been ru-
mored that the machinery for
the ice plant has been ordered
shipped and that work will be-
gin on the erection or buildings
soon. Such a business has long
been desired in Meade and it
will be long felt want filed
The handling of eggs, dressed
poultry, butter and cream will
be advanced, by such advanta-
ges as a cold storage house
offers to the merchants.
Another advantage which
such business will give the
town is that it is the one thing
needful in the business of the
town which will make the de-
livery of "a hour current by
the light plant profitable. Many
house keepers have long been
wanting an all day and night
current for household use.
Merchants, and Office men want
the currents for fans and for
power where needed.
An election of officers was had
resulting in the choice of J. /.
Stamper for President, Geo. w.
Day, Vice President; H. 4.
Jones, secretary; E. w. Fletch-
er, treasurer and A. Il. Bodle,
A unanimous vote of
was given, with
hearty good will was given to o.
X. Stevens, who for two and
half years has been a faithful
President.
The club is alive and not only
lusty but what is more to the
point, is doing things all the time
for the good of the city and coun-
ty.
Since writing the above wire
has been received by H. G..
Marshall, secretary Of the Fair
Association, from the General
passenger agent of the Rock
Island system confirming the
contract with Mr.. tombstone,
and there will be no doubt of the
special trains being run as above
stated.

Soap, A Carrier of Disease.

carrier OF vlrulent germs and a
menace to health.
81 believe that common soap,
particularly the sort that's used
for the washing of utensils
which are food containers, is
carrier of micro-organisms
which are menauce to health, {"
he said.
mo animal soap should be
used in cleaning milk cans or
other receptacles for food, for
the greater portion of such soaps
are made from the carcasses of
diseased animals which have
been condemned by the govern
ment inspectors.
Few persons know how to
use soap. When milk can has
been emptied it is often allowed
to stand until the residue has
hardened, then the first proce-
dure usually is to fill it with hot
soap suds. The action of the
hot water upon the albumen
which adhers to the bottle is to
coagulate it, m akin the
thorough cleaning of the utensil
impossible.
Particles of the soap or soap
powder used become lodged in
the minous mass, and i'm
purities of the soap are thus di-
rectly transmitted to the milk.
Milk is the most perfect vehicle
for the transmission of micro
organisms.
I'm my experience in the
west, where much of the soap
used in America is made, Il
found that all the diseased ami
mails which were condemned bv
che government inspectors in
The big packing houses were
used in the manufacture of soap,
which is by-product of the
meat industry.
"Whlle the potash and other
alkall which enters into the COM
position of soap may minimize
the chance of conta minatlon.
there is still the probability that
minute atoms of septic matter
may be retained.
II think that no animal soap !
should be used in the washing
of food utensils. There are |
many mineral soap powders
that are even more powerful
cleansers than the old fashioned |
impure soap.
"There is danger in the indis-
criminate use of toilet soaps in
public places. Employers in
large establishments accumulate
a remarkable collection of micro
organisms in their various oc-
cupations and transmit them to
the lone bar of soap, and thence
TO those who use it su bsequent-
W. Careless persons who do
not rinse the accumulated lather
from the cake after using it
assist in the transmission of
these impurities.
'In recent years antiseptic
soaps have been put on the mar
ket, but it has been found in
hospitals that a diluted solution
of carbolic acid is more effect
i've in cleansing the hands or
clothing, and requires no more
time to apply.
"Perfumed soaps are used
more for attractiveness IN toilet
use, although to some persons
they seem to have an antiseptic
value. Some harmful essences /
are used, especially in cheap
soaps. A scented soap will re- :
main in good condition longer
than unscented, not being so
likely to become rancid.

Denying that he was ever in Fish kill. New York, yet convicted of Iy- ing at the outset by papers and let ters found in his pocket by Detective George Arnold, Frank Ciccio, an ItaI- ian youth, was arrested yesterday at the home of his brother at 76 HaIlett street, by State Policeman Verelli and is now held for the authorities of Fish kill, to answer to the charges of high way robbery, burglary and possibly murder

Kills Eight Babies By Placing OXaIiC Acid In Bottled
 Milk
WANTED TO GET EVEN

Officials Of Nursery Do Not Believe That She Is
 Insane
THE CONFESSION.

New York, Feb. 24.-Here is Winifred AnIkers' alleged confeS- sion that she poisoned eight babies.
 q would have poisoned every baby in the place if someone had not scared me out of the nursery. IT didn't want to Kill the babies, hl1f fo make them i'll and diScred- it the nurses. They had snubbed me and talked about my baby and | coming from the streets, and I dfsIiked everyone of them- life was never happy with no folks and no home ties and l drIfted to what folks call bad things. Then my baby was born. the first thing I could ever call my own. They made me do all sorts of work but had to for my baby. I complained to the trus- tees but was snubbed there too. They gave me oxal1c acid to clean the instruments and operating table. Some I used for that. Saturday night, I put on felt slip pers and went to the kitchen thinking if I put a little of the acid in the milk the children would get sick and worry the nurses. I put two or three drops fin about a dozen bottles. Then | heard someone coming and ran Ever since the first baby died have known the truth would have to come out Send me to prison, do anything with me you like but for Gods sake do not take my baby from me"

LEADERS INDIGNANT
 IN PHILADELPHIA.

Philadelphia. Feb. 24-Socialist lead CTS of this city were highly indignant when word was received here that the Lawrence authorities had refused to permit 50 Children of the Strike to be brought here, where they were to be cared for until the textile strike was ended. Every arrangement has been completed to give the children comfortable homes where they would be warm and well fed while here. Every fami- ly that had applied for child to care for had been investigated and every possible precautiOn had been taken tu see that the children were assigned only to the most wholesome surround ingS-
 It had been planned to escort the children to Labor Lyceum where they were to be fed. Afterward they were to have been present at the ceie- bration by the German-American So- cialists of the recent big victory in the Fatherland The children were then to be sent to the homes secured for them.

MILITARY ANARCHY
 SAYS A. F. OF B. OFFICIAL.

2. Chicago. Feb. 24-"Mi1tary an- archy'' was the term applied to con- ditions at La La,Jrence. Mass, by Ed ward Nocketts, secretary of the Chf- cago Federation of Labor. He said:
 Events, today. at Lawrence show to what extent the military and gov ernment are being used by the inter- ests- It seems there is to be no end to this abuse of interference by gov ernmental powers in the interest of employers. They do not stop at brow beating. clubbing. false imprisonment but even murder men, women and children. Lawrence has already fur nished the murder of one girl by the authorities. This condition is military anarchy. Coming right after Wash. ington's Birthday, it reminds one of what the British soldiers did to the Colonists. Let them keep it up and it will soon bear the same fruit and
