A PUBLIC MARKET.

The public market as a means OF
reducing the cost of living and i'm
proving the quality of the produce IS
receiving thorough trial at Ithaca,
IN. Y. Results to date have been sat
isfactory A preliminary experiment
was made under the auspices of the
grange in the fall of 1912. Due to the
activity OF the women of the House
wives League, supplemented by the
Business Mems Association and few
farmers, the plan to establish a pub.
lie market was started early In 1913.
After canvass Of all interests con-
lcerned, including the farmers in the
surrounding country, 1t was decided to
organize the Ithaca Public Market
Corporation, with $4,000 capital, d.
yided into 900 shares. valued at SIS
each. These shares were sold to
raise money to equip the market
ground and provide maintenance
fund for at least two years A vacant
lot was leased in central location
on the trolley line and two rows Of
booths were erected to afford shelter
for those attending the market.
In the middle of June, when the
market was opened, less than dozen
farmers attended with produce for
sale, as many were skeptical of the
plan. The housewives were present
in force and the produce available was
quickly purchased The next market
day more farmers attended and their
produce, too, was quickly bought up
at good price.
The news Of these experiences
spread among the growers and they
have been coming in increasing mum
bers and with an increasing variety
of produce, so that now thirty-five
or forty farmers, many of them with
their produce arranged on improvised
tables along the market street, is not
uncommon. Now the farmers are
generally enthusiastic over the re.
suits. On the other hand, the house.
wives are pleased with the increased
variety of produce, its improved fire
ness, and more satisfactory prices,
land are coming to market in increas-
ing numbers
The opening market hours are from
II to o'clock in the morning. Through
the influence of the Housewives
League 1t is becoming popular to go
to market with a basket on ones arm
and carry home the purchase SAINT
tary features in the handling of pro-
duce and full weights and measures
receive attention from the managing
committee.
Thus far the experiment has been
generally satisfactory to both FRO
ducers and consumers Some dealays
also are making use of the market te
get their stock OF goods. The man
: agement is considering the extension
: OF the market area, the more perma
nent establishment OF It's equipment
and the extension Of its activities tc
include a public scale, the utilization
of produce not disposed OF on the
market, storage facilities and other
things that will better serve the com
I immunity by making a ready clearing
: house for farm produce OF ali kinds al
i retail and wholesale.
Keokuk may find 1t advantageous te
resort to some such arrangement +
the price Of farm produce continue:
at its present high level.

Something to Be Thankful For.

With an ostentatious ave of the

vantage, Michael bowed. At the same
moment a brick sailed down from an
upper floor and bounced from his
barred skull. Upon coming to he in

Edgemont.-ln the near future
Edgemont will be the possessor of a
bot water gusher, one of the few such
artesian wells in the United States.
In addition to this unique feature the
we'll also will be one of the deepest
artesiGn wells in the county. The enor-
nous depth of 1885 feet already has
been reached, and it is planned to drill
the we'll about 100 feet deeper to the
stratum which contains the supply of
hot water. The drilling of the well
has been in progress many weeks. and
as the drill sinks deeper into the bow
els of the earth the progress becomes
slower. Just at present the work is
being delayed because the constant
hammering Of the drill caused the
bottom joint of the casing to fall to
the bottom Of the we'll. This loosened
joint now is gripped by a cable run
ming to the surface, but in order to re-
cover it the entire casing now in the
we'll must be raised by clamping the
top each time it is raised one joint, and
a section ~unscrewed. The task is made
all the harder by the fact that the ca
bic must be kept taut to the bottom
and at the same time all the cable
above ground must be drawn through
every section of the casing to release
the latter. The deep we'll has a very
good flow of water. but it is expected
a much stronger flow will be struck
when the well is sunk deeper.

+ Your Baby ane

Childhood on ForesfdHS Future
Serious Diseases

We cannot all start life with the ad-
vantages of money, but every child
born is entitled to the heritage Of
good health. Through unfortunate ig-
or carelessness in the feeding
of a baby It's tiny stomach may be-
come deranged. The disorder spreads
to the bowels and before the mother
realizes it the two chief organs on
which the infants comfort and health
depend are causing it great suffering.
If the condition is allowed to continue
grave ailments often result.
There is, however, nc occasion for
alarm. and the sensible thing to do
but 1t should be done instantly-is to
give the baby a small dose Of a mild
laxative tonic. In the opinion OF a
great many people, among them such
wellknown persons as the parents Of
Dixie Dudley, Magnolia, Ark, the
proper remedy is DR.. Caldwell's Syrup
Pepsin. Mrs. Earl Dudley writes: CDR.
Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is the best
medicine l ever used. 1t cured my
baby of fiatulency collie when the doc
tors failed; it cured my husband of
constipation. My home shall never
be without Syrup Pepsin." 1t is a
pleasant-tasting laxative, which every
person likes. 1t Is mild, non-griping,
and contains that most excellent Of all
digestants, pepsin.
This remedy is especially intended
for infants. children, women, old peo-
pie and all others to whom harsh
