tons prepared by the woman, which
related to practical nursing, involved
a great deal more labor and time in
preparation and reading the answers
than those relating to the medical
phases OF the examination as prepar-
ed by. the doctor. Why the difference
in pay under one statute?
Investigation showed that, con-
trary to instructions given, the board
had established schedule of pay
which does not mean actual days of
service, but constructive days. This
was arbitrarily fixed so that doctor
in preparing questions counted two
days work for preparing 10 ques-
tions and three days for Is, or 5
questions to make a days work In
marking answers it was arbitrarily
determined that reading answers to
so questions should be regarded as
days work. In that way the doctor
figures out IL days work on Job
which took the nurse only days 70
do-and she reckoned only 6 hours
as days work. 1t seems the arbi-
trary schedule applies only to the
men and not to the women WV
e Hence the bill was discarded, the
state accountant made a report
showing the system has been in
vogue. some time, and the committee
On retrenchment and reform now has

PLAN FALLS THROUGH
Plan Of Students at state University
OF Iowa is Changed For New
Lcheme of Manauamant

Iowa City, March 1S.-The agitation
for student self-government at the
state university has resulted rather
unfavorably to that scheme, but it
has brought forth a plan for student
councils which, it is thought is suitable
for the present.
The subcommittee of the greater
university committee which has had
this matter under consideration, has
decided to form subcouncil in each
college of the university and to let
representatives from these subcouncils
constitute the all-university council.
A mass meeting will be called soon
after the spring vacation at which the
plan will be presented to the students
If 1t is adopted the different colleges
probably will organize at once.
These councils will not be vested
with real seR-government, but will
manage student activities, and will
constitute the medium through which
student opinion will be presented to
the faculty.

PRESERVING EGGS,

Extensive experiments conducted by
the department OF agriculture show
that April and May are the best
months in which TO put down eggs
and that the water glass solution gives
the best results y stone jar makes
the best container. and this should be
scalded thoroughly before the eggs are
put into it. The water glass. which is
a silicon compound. can be got at the
drug store for from 60 cents to 81 Il
gallon and should be diluted in ten
gallons of boiled water. or course a
smaller amount of the solution may be
made up. but this one to ten ratio
should he maintained. The eggs should
be gathered or secured daily if posi-
BILE, and only those that are clean and
not cracked should be used. When
the Jar is full it should be covered to
prevent evaporation of the solution.
When taking the eggs out for use mex
fall and winter they should be wash
ed in warm water. If the eggs are to
be boiled pinhOle should be made in
the shell to prevent breaking, as the
water glass solution seals the pores in
the shell

BORDEAUX MIXTURE,

A lady reader makes inquiry as to
the method Of making the bordeaux
solution, which she wishes to use on
apple and pear trees. This solution is
fungicide and is for the purpose of
controlling apple scab. sooty blotch
and other pests Of fungous nature
The solution is easily made. its prep
aration being as follows: To make tif-
ty gallons dissolve FIVE pounds of blue
vitriol "copper" sulphate) in twenty-five
gallons of water in small barrel or
half barrel. Next slake FIVE pounds Of
fresh stone lime. using care not to let
it get too hot. This is done by having
plenty of water handy and stirring it
as occasion requires. When thorough
ly slaked and reduced to the consist
ency of fine putty dilute to twenty
FIVE gallons. as in the case of the blue
vitriol. The two ingredients should
then be poured together into fifty
gallon barrel. a pailful Of each being
added alternately and the mixture
stirred after each addition. When
ready to use the mixture should con-

plication should be made when the
vines are ten inches high and should

A STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION

The Cole commission mans bill.
which passed both houses of the New
York legislature and was signed by Gov
ernor Sulzer. is not all that the pro-
ducers of the Empire State had hoped.
but it gives promise of doing a good
deal to put stop to the injustice which
they have had to put up with for years
past from crooked commission men.
The new law gives the commissioner
of agriculture authority to refuse Ii
cense to any produce man who he is
convinced is not doing business on the
level: requires of each merchant a fide-
ity bond of $4,000 any part of which
can be levied on by the farmer for
money not honestly accounted for to
him in payment for produce received
by the merchant: provides for hearing
before the agricultural commissioners.
at which grievances may be presented
by growers and penalties assessed
against fidelity bonds, and empowers
the commissioner to take sworn testi-
mony and examine records relating to
transactions in dispute. 1t would look
very much as if all that New York
producers would have to do to get a
fair measure of "-,dress under this new
law would be to make good loud
'holler' and suit their evidence before
the proper authorities.

FRENCH SCIENTIST
INYENTS "COLD LIGHT"

Paris, January ON Dussud, a
French scientist, who has discovered
a means for the production of what ne
terms cold light" to-day made pubic
some details OF his discovery. which,
it is thought. may revolutionize electric
lighting.
Starting on the principle that rest
is as essential to matter as TO animal
organization. he has constructed an
electric lamp in which the light IS
concentrated on single point oy
flaments, working successfully: thence
the light is projected through a lens
nagnifying a tbousandfoid- nus
he has succeeded in concentrating a
600 candle power light on one point,
and in passing thirty-two volts into
an eight-voit lamp. which with the
ordinary light ould wburst. 1t has been
tried with great success at the Bar
ritz light house.
