ROOSEVELT NO BoozER.
rWaterloo Courier.

lWIerlOO SOur1ef.J
Leo H. Paulger, cashier Of the Sc
curity Savings Bank, is a great admir-
err OF Theodore Roosevelt. On several
occasions from sources Thai we're seem
ingly official, he had heard 1t stated
that the colonel is a most vigorous
booze fighter and on various and sun
dry occasions had been seen in state
of intoxfcation. Mr.. Paulger concluded
to get some information direct from
headquarters and he addressed a let
ter to DR.. Lyman Abbott. editor Of The
Outlook, but that gentleman was alb
sent, so his son answered the inquiry
in the following vigorous language:
New York. April l, 1912: Dear Sir
Your letter to my father. DIR. Lyman
Abbott, was duly received. DR.. Abbott
is absent, and am therefore acknowl-
edging your letter in his stead. The
clergyman who made the statement
that Colonel Roosevelt is absolute
man given to much drinking and very
often drunk, was circulating a SANDER
and violating the ninth commandm ent
The charge made by that clergyman is
false. He either knew that it was false
or else was too careless of his neigh
boris reputation to take pains to as
certain whether 1t was false or not. Mr..
Roosevelt is as temperate as my faith
err to whom you have written. have
my fathers permission to say so. We
are receiving number OF letters MAX
ing inquiries similar to yours. 1t is
evident that there is an effort being
made by contemplate means to I'M
dermine Mr. Roosevelt's influence. You
are entirely justified in authoritatively
denying any such report whenever you
hear it. The report, by the way, is
false on the face of it for no hard
drinking man could do the work that
Mr.. Roosevelt is doing and stand up
under IT as he does. If man could be
Jailed for attempting to steal other
mems regulations as he is for stealing
their property. such man as he who
is circulating this report would be be-

Very truly yours.

IOWA OPINION AND NOTES.

The Onawa Democrat says It does
not believe that either Taft or Roose-
Welt can be elected II nominated. RE-
publicans are tired OF the internal
scramble within the party" the Dem
ocrat continues, land the independent
republicans will vote outside their
party lines"
The Sioux City Tribune hopes that
Northern Iowa delegates to the re-
publican convention will be sufficient
ly advised as to the character OF the
candidates for lieutenant governor 10
nominate the right man. c. H. Van
Law, of Marshalltown, Is man OF
such character and accomplishment as
to justify his nomination for the lieu
tenant governor ship and even the gov
ernorship; and the kind Of a man who
should be nominated for lieutenant
governor"
THE truth u.s." moralizes the Sioux
City Journal. that this is careless
and rather reckless world, and we do
not mind taking chances until some
shocking Object lesson has sobered us
and shown US the Grass folly OF 1t.
And even then we soon forget"
The Council Bluffs Eonpareil Does
not agree with the view that Roose-
Welt would be beaten if nominated. A
great deal of Taft's strength in dele
gates is only lukewarm. A great deal
o fit would as soon be for some other
candidate as for Taft"
The Neville Mail Can not see how
the people Of Iowa would gain any,
thing by electing LATE Young to the
senate. Senator Kenyon is fairer
minded man than LATE: he is not so
bitterly partisan: he Is the equal in
tellectually Of the Des Moines edi-
tor, and he is more in accord with the
desires of the common people"

Scientific Experiments 20 Be Made to
Demonstrate the Possibility Of
Improvement.

The Cambridge School OF Agricul-
ture is trying to make hens lay red
eggs. There Is always the best mar
ket for eggs which are OF the richest
red brown In color. and the problem
is to develop the right kind OF hen.
The Cambridge experimenters hope
to produce red egg-laying hen OF pro-
life habit. just as they have produced
a strong rust-resisting wheat OF high
yield by working on the curious law Of
Mcndel. Hens have so far proved ad-
mirable examples Of the working OF
this law. In respect OF single and dou-
BILE combs and in respect Of color
they are perfectly obedient to the
proper scientific principle. They be
have" as they ought. to use the tech
nicsl verb. Why should not the eggs
behave as well az the feathers and
comb!
There Is also the subsidiary question
OF food. II may be possible to alter
the egg color by food as well as by
hereditary influences. II has been
done In the case OF canaries.

TO DESTROY INJURIOUS LICE
Ten Drops Of Pennyroyai Added to
Tablespoonful Of Olive Oil Will
Prove Effective.

Grease Is recommended for lice, but
chicks abhor II, and It should not be
used unless II is absolutely necessary.
Never use coal oil on young chicks,
for 1t is irritating and likely to scald
the flesh.
II the large lice are found on the
chicks, sweet oil will answer the pur-
pose just as well, and the chicks will
not mind II as much. Ten drops Of
pennyroyal may be added to a large
tablespoonful OF olive oil. With the
finger rub one or two drops well un-
der the wings and down the head
and neck Of the chicks. The small
lice may be got rid or easily, but the
large gray ones stick very close and
are hard to get of.
The large lice will kill the young
chicks, and the owner never knows
what the trouble is. They are hard TO
discern. and will suck blood from
the little fellows until their vitality
Is exhausted, when they die. Watch
the young chickens very closely, and
do not allow them to be pestered
with the large lice, nor the small
ones, either, for they also will do a
great deal Of harm in many ways.

permits the chicks to get their backs

that their bodies may be warmed in

FEEDER OPERATED BY HENS

People who regard chickens as not
having enough sense to get in out OF

ions. A California man who knows
something about fowls has designed a
feeder which Is operated automatically
by the chickens themselves, and IL a
hen Is too dumb she is apt to starve
to death. A hopper containing feed il
placed on a trestle. The valve from
which the feed ia discharged is nor
