for the disinfection OF premises where
death had occurred by tuberculosis
and 1t is generally admitted by those
best informed on this disease that per-
sons are frequently infected from liv-
ing in houses formerly occupied by
those who have had tuberculosis. I
personally know Of one house In an
adjoining county where fourteen
deaths have occurred from this dis
ease, and those who are familiar with;
it can recall similar instances.
tuberculosis causes the deaths an
nually of 1,400 to 1900. persons in
Iowa. This bill, which provides for the
fumigation of a house where a death
had occurred by tuberculosis, was
amended in the senate to include the
quarantine Of infantile paralysis and
is now part of our law. call your
attention to the following extract from
letter received recently from Prof.
A. E. Kepford, state lecturer on tuber-
culosis.
,r Frank Shane
Hon. Frank Shane,
Eldon, Iowa.
Dear Mr.. Shane:
Your services in the recent general
assembly deserve the highest com.
mendation. for think those who will
examine the records will find that for
unselfish devotion to duty you have
shown yourself a man. The measures
which you introduced and which be-
came laws, especially the one with
reference to disinfection against tuber-
culosis, regard as the most import
ant passed by the general assembly. /
and I hope that the people of Wapello |
county will send you back that you
may give your influence, and wide
knowledge to the problems effecting
public health.
Yours very truly,
A. r. Kepford,
State lecturer.

Three women appeared against him,
each testifying to one Of the charges.
Judge Hendershott found him guilty
and gave him thirty days in jail, but

ton, and induce her to renounce in
their favor her liberty and her hus-
bands legacy. Being unwilling to
rupture their friendship by becoming
rivals, they agreed to join forces on
the following terms:
A sum of money was to be put up
by all three the amount thus raised to
be taken over by the one whom a
game of chance should select to WOO
the lady. If he should be so fortunate
as to secure the latter for his wife he
would hand over 100000 francs to
each of his two friends.
According to the story, the man to
do the wooing was chosen at a game
of escarte. Then details of the pro-
ject were discussed until far into the
night. The three fortune hunters
managed to scrape together $4,000,
which was considered sufficient for
expenses, and the winner arranged to
sail for America. He is described as
"a former barrister, who at present
occupies himself with business: he has
no title, but bears a well-known name
has a seductive personality. employs
his leisure time in writing poetry, and
is an incompatible conYersationalist
with brilliant distinction of manner.
The greatest disgust is expressed
here among those who credit the
story, and it is taken for granted that
the unexpected publicity shed upon
the design has effectually ended the
scheme.

SWEET GLOVER FOR SACHET
Gives Just the Delicate Perfume Suit
able for the "FriPperies" and
Underwear,

Sweet white clover, which grows
wild from Maine to the south. is one
of the most delicate scents that may
be used among pretty fripperies, and,
unlike many sweet odors it is not too
heavy to render it unsuitable for a
girl. Gathering the fragrant weed is
a pleasant piece of work.
In gathering them whole stalks may
be cut ruthlessly and piled into the
baskets. One should get small noun
'tains OF it. in fact, for it is to be
remembered that drying causes it to
diminish, and what is d huge pile
when green is little more than hand
full after q month.
The whole mass will be sweeter
when drying is complete if the leaves
be stripped from the stalks. The stems
sometimes take on a rank odor. That
stripping is by no means tedious, and
the loose leaves should be thrown on
papers or large pieces of cloth, ready
to spread in the sun
For a week or more they are left
out in the air and sun to do the work
=
should be turned, that all may be ex-
posed. When thoroughly dry the
leaves are crisp, and of course break,
and by that time the sweet odor is
apparent.
The leaves are best used by putting
them into bags to place among frills
and undergarments or in pads made
just the size of the bureau drawers
which are to contain them. Figured
china silk is the prettiest material
for the purpose. but siIkoline and
even the plain white Swiss muslin
are by no means TO be despised. The
pads will require the thinnest lin
ing of cotton batting to prevent the
leaves from punching in one section.
If they are scattered over the cotton
before sewing the last end they viii
stick where placed.
