Had Given Up Jewels.

The family jewels, including the famous
pearl collar which Louis XIV presented
to Cardinal Guzzarin's niece, which after
ward became part of the family treas
ures of the Rospigliosis, had alreaoy
been turned over to Prince Carnillo's
wife when one day it was announced
that the then mature prince contemplated
marrying a dashing American dlvorcee,
who had turned the head or the scion
of the Roman nobility.
The Rospigliosis were thunderstruck
Their bitter opposition to the marriage,
for purely selfish motives, only resulted
in enraging the old prince, who took
away from his brother the management
/, his properties and requested his sister
in-Iaw to turn over to the prospective
bride the family jewels and heirlooms.
Victim of Social Vendetta.
From that moment the new princess
had no peace and bitter social war. with
no quarter. was waged upon her The
fact that the princess was a divorce
and no religious marriage had been per-
formed furnished fine pretext for COS
| ira cising her from local society, over
which then ruled with despotic hand the
Princess Giustinaini Bandini, Prince
CamilIo's mother-in-law.
| When the Princess Rospigliosi peti
toned the Catholic tribunals for an order
| to have her first religious marriage an
nuled, she found against her the power
full influence of her brother-in-law, Primes
| Camille, commander of the Papal Guards
The case was carried to the high rs
church tribunal. but decisions were III
| ways against the princess notwithstandin;
| that she offered to prove the first cere
| mony was not valid, inasmuch as at tn,
time. it was performed she was not {
Catholic.

The skirts of the coming season have
one attribute in common: With very few
exceptions they boast some sort of tunic.
1t may not be long enough to dignity by
the name of tunic, being content to re-
main in the peplum class; but peplum
or tunic or something on this order Is In
eyitable if one would be in vogue. This
smart frocl5 of velour de laine in tobacco
brown has shaped tunic which is quite
short at the front. sloping toward the
back Narrow pleated frills of self-tone
silk trim bodice and sleeves. The Tapped
skirt is draped to the left, closing Just
where the two loops of seilf-tona silk fall
from the girdle. A broad band of the
the blouse in waistcoat fashion, and into
this a narrow band of rose silk has been
inserted. This color combination is seen
on some of the smartest frocks.

The small hat is usually the advance
guard of spring and fall millinery styles
and with reason, as most women proceed
with caution until styles are settled. and
anything that savors of exaggeration Is
passed by. This season is no exception,
and though the shapes seem varied, all
are conserYatively small. The newest
shapes are of soft felt, velour or fine
velvet. and may be adjusted in many be-
coming ways. The hat above, on the con-
trary. is made over stiff wire shape and
is covered with velvet in the new copper
color. A band and fiat bow of the velvet
encircle the crown and serve to hold in
place smart feather in copper and
orange shades.

Family Avoids Mourning.

1t was noticed that the local Res
pigliosis, Prince Giunio Alberto Camille,
commander of the Papal Noble Guard,
and the latter's ten children, were not
even wearing on their arms the usual
black crepe as a sign of mourning for
the death of the head of the family.
Notwithstanding the fact that there
are two heirs, the princess is still regard
ed as usurper of the titles and wealth
of the .Rcspigliosis. Prior to the mar
rage the titles and fortune seemed
destined to pass into the hands OF
Prince Camllo's children, who, as
members of the cadet branch of the
house, inherit but a small part of the
famiIys fortune.
In fact. the dead prince is said to have
wholly surrendered to his brother the
administration of his vast estates, only
taking such part of the income as he re-
nIlired for his daily needs.

BACTERIA CULTURES
AT HIGH SCHOOL
Made by Members of Domestic Sci
ence Glasses Under Miss
Marvel's Direction.

Some very interesting expert
ments in bacteria cultures have beer
made at the high school during thu
past week under the direction O.
Miss Marvel, instructor in domestic
science.
The class first prepared a gelatine
substance composed of agar, beef eX'
tract, albumen and peptone which
contain the different substances
found in food. This substance was
then poured into small glass cover
ed disks called petri and left tC
harden. They were then exposed to
the air and contact with germs or
bacteria which might be floating
around. One was placed on the win
dow sill outside of the window in
the outdoor air; another in room
that was being swept; another in
the dining room; another in the
kitchen; another was touched with
a pencil point which had in true
scholastic fashion just been put in
to the mouth of one of the pupils;
another was touched with the tip
of the tongue and the seventh
touched by finger tip.
These Seven disks or dishes were
then placed in a warm place and
the germs were left to feed on the
food in the gelatine When taken
out recently the following results
were noted: The glass exposed in
the room which was being swept
contained no less than 10 colonies
of germs or bacteria to the square
inch. Each little colony looked like
a little mold patch. The most thriv-
ing colony grew up, however,
around the spot where the lead pen
Gil point had been touched to the
gelatine. One of the pupils upon
seeing this exclaimed, II will never
put a lead pencil in my mouth
nc CAPOoCu VII siS
window sill in the out door air was
the freest from bacteria of any,
showing conclusively that all food
materials should be kept in a cool
place where fresh air is abundant If
you wish to keep your food stuffs
free from germs.
The lesson learned by this simple
experiment shows better than weeks
of talking,the result of leaving food
in unclean places where the air is
stale or foul. Every house keeper
in this city could learn a practical
lesson from these little disks that
would not soon be forgotten.

1t is said that the epidemic has
spread to the printing offices. 1t is
an absolute fact that the Herald
have lad all their windows washed
and the Freeman-Tribune are ex-
pecting the 'devip' to do a good job
soon on their plate glass front.
'Tuck,' of course, cleaned before
the winter was over and the Hahne
Printing Co. are all spick and span.
OF course all of the dry goods
stores, where the ladies are, have
been in an upheaval for several
weeks and the doctors and dentists
are always after the germs. In fact,
practically all the professions have
been "eXposed' and now that court
is over, it is expected the lawyers
will be the next victims of the dis
ease.

To be Held in Webster City May 81
Supreme Oracle Will be
Present.

The annual district convention o.
the Royal Neighbors of America liv
ing in Hamilton, Wright, Boone
| Webster and Humboldt counties
will be held in Elmo hall of this city
on Wednesday, May 21st.
Careful arrang ements for a large
attendance have been made by the
local committees and about two hun
dred guests are expected on that day
if all of the neighboring camps send
their allotted number of delegates.
The morning session will begin
at 1890 and will be in the nature
of a reception for the national Of
ficers present, followed by a business

upon subjects of vital interest to the
spirit and teachings of this organi-
cation will be read by the delegates
and the evening will be devoted to
an initiatory service.
All of the sessions of the day are
open to the public and all interested
in the work of fraternal orders are
cordially invited to attend. The ev-
ening's program, however, will be a
closed meeting for members only.
The ladies from the Humboldt camp
will eXemplify the initiatory ritual,
and a new class of about fifty men,
bers will be initiated.
At five-thirty in the afternoon a
banquet will be served to those at
tending the convention in the din
ing room of the Methodist church
and just after the afternoon session
the commercial league have arrang-
ed with the automobile owners of
the city to give the visiting dele
gates an auto ride about the city.
Among the more noted members
of this organization who will be
present at this convention are Mrs.
Myra B. Enright of Kansas City, SUI
preme oracle of the Royal Neighbors
of America, who is at present max
ing a tour of the districts of Iowa,
going from here to meetings at AL
bia, Cedar Rapids, Iowa Falls and
Spencer. Dr. Susan MEG. Snyder of
Council Bluffs, one Of the supreme
physicians of the order will be here,
also Mrs. Irene E. Bentley of Oel-
vein, state supervising deputy and
formerly a member of the supreme
board Of managers. 1t will be a
pleasure and a privilege just to meet
these earnest fraternal workers and
it is hoped that all interested per-
sons will make arrangements to at
tend at least one of the sessions of
the convention.

MEN NOT AvERSf
TO H0USECLfAN|NC
Old Time Theory is Exploded-Cit.
Officials and Business Men
Busy at It.

That the male persuasion of the
human race are absolutely averse to
the annual fever of spring house
cleaning seems to be a semi-barbar-
GUS tradition, which is fast falling
into disrepute as civilization ad-
vances, as any observing visitor OF
ing the past few weeks can tell you.
Why, even the city officials at the
city hall were as busy as bees this
morning experimenting the scrub
bling of the floors, woodwork and
windows of the city's sanctum sane
forum. They were actually serious
ly considering having the windows
washed on both sides and the city
clerk was waiting for the cleaning
of his quarters to be finished with
all the patience of an oriental phil
osopher. OF course, there are no
stoves to be removed this spring and
then, though we hesitate to suggest
it, perhaps the men rather enjoy
bossing the job themselves, instead
of playing the part they are usually
given in the cast of this little spring
drama at home.
At any rate, the First National
Bank force were all smiling this
morning while watching the plac-
ing of the step la oder and the pres
ence of the hot water pals and num-
erous window rags and other house
cleaning utensils, supposed to incite
uncomfortable fear and instant
flight, so far as che Lords of crea-
ton" are concerned.
The Western Union Telegraph
Company have reprinted the interior
of their city office, added some new
boards to their desk and swinging
gate entrance and are really think
ing of scrubbing the floor.

The large Sunday school room had
been transformed by the decorating
committee into spacious drawing
room, where the honored guests of
the evening were received. Prompt
ly at eight O'Clock to the strains of
an instrumental duet, played by
Miss Bergesen and Ruth Donaldson
the company moved down the stair
way to the dining room. Here under
a canopy of orange and black rib
bons were laid the covers of the ban.
quet table, decorated with smilaS
and red and white roses. The tables
were arranged in the form of hol.
low square from the center of which
the ladies in charge served.
Following the three course menu a
delightful program of toasts, which
mingled in due proportion both hui
NOR and pathos, was given under
the able and genial direction of the
toast master, Donald Mckee. Those
responding to the various toasts
were: -, So -:
Toast to the Seniors-Dennis Kel-
ly.

kearns added two Of the most enjoy
able musical numbers to the pro-
gram. which closed very tittinsly
with the high school song and yell.
Miss Katherine Lane, an honored
guest of the evening, was also asked
to speak few words of greeting to
the class which began their high
school career under her watchful
eye and responded in her usual grac-
ious manner.
Altogether the evening was thor
oughly enjoyed by all and both
classes and teachers parted with
feeling ofssadness that so pleasant
time had passed so quickly.

Clear Lake, Jan. 20.-"Talk about
the land flowing with milk and honey!
Why don't you talk about Iowa? The
milk produced from Iowa cows would
cover knee deep all the land from Dan
to Beersheba, and as for honey Iowa
produces enough in one year to smear
over all the face of the holy land with
plenty to spare" This was one of the
Bishop Frank Bristol truisms ex-
pressed Sunday in his dedicatory SER
mon at the Methodist Episcopal
church; and the bishop Will at once be
admitted into the front ranks Of Iowa
boosters.
Since last July the Methodist church
has been undergoing repairs until it is
now thoroughly rebuilt and enlarged
until a modern and up-to-date church
edifice has been created. The i'm
provements totaled $4,000. Nearly So
600 was raised before the work was
undertaken and at Sunday morning
service about $4,000 more was sub
scribed. leaving an indebtedness o.
about $4,000. which will possibly be
met within the next few days.
Bishop Bristol's Address.
The subject Of Bishop Bristols adj
dress was I'VE Are Laborers Together
With God" The bishop said that re-
ligion should be practical or 1t is all
fudge and nonsense. A religion which
would fit you for heaven is what Clear
Lake needs. Labor is one of the things
that distinguish one race from an
other The savage race and the bar
barian races are loafers. The higher
you get in the development Of the race
the more active it becomes.
Civilized people are creative and
productive people. Labor did not come
as punishment but as a blessing. Man
was male a laborer before he was
sinner. If. man had kept at his JOB
there would have been no sin. Traee-
dies and tyranies come thru idleness.
You talk about trusts bringing about
the high cost of living, is nothing but
idle talk. It may play part but the
trouble is that there are too few real
PRODUCERS and two many consumers.
There are too few beef cattle being
raised, and too few hens to lay the
eggs.
Dignity Of Honest Toll.
People are moving into cities and
living in congested districts: farms are
being vacated and millions Of acres OF
land idle. We need to cry 1t over this
! land of ours: Back to the. farm
| When people get to thinking that they
can live without labor the knell Of lib
erty will cease. We must honor and
Id1gnify honest toll. Religion wants to
be polled down from the skies and put
in between the ploy handles. IN the
| shops, in the store and in the PROBES
sions. It should enable a blacksmith
to fasten horseshoe as much as a
minister in his sermon. It should help
the wife as she tolls in the home as
much as the artist with his brush. II
was 1.-THE sword Of the Lord and
Gideon" We must play our part.
