The kaIeidosoops.

Have you any idea what wonderful thing a Kaleidoscope really is? Did you ever catch yourself wondering how many different kinds of patterns could be formed by the little bits of colored glass which the instrument contains and which adjust themselves with such remarkable facility when the instru- @ent is turned in the hand? A caIcu- lRtion has beea made by a noted math- enaticfan which we are sure will as tonish readers. He shows that ka- leidoscope containing twelve bits of glass may be turned rapidly enough to make ten changes a minute day and night for ninety-one years and forty nine days without exhausting the diff ferent combinations or the possibilities of getting a new figure on the next turn If the number of pieces of glass be increased to twenty, a calculation shows that 462 ,sSO. .s99,576 years would be necessary to go through all of the changes of which it would be capable. the holder of the instrument turning all the while so as to get ten changes a minute and working day and night those millions of years.

susiness Men and Lunch.

There was conference in London recently under the auspices of the In corporated Institute of Hygiene to dis cuss the health of business men Many of the greatest physicians in England spoke, especially about the diet of the ordinary man of business. The New York Medical Record sums up their conclusions thus:
 Most of the speakers expressed the opinion that but little should be eaten in the middle of the day, and some seemed to think that two good meals in the day were quite sufficient. A man who does not take enough exer- else or who does not perform enough manual labor to enable him to digest and assimilate a large quantity o1 food. and particularly flesh food should be very careful as to the quality and quantity of food he ingests- Such 8 man does not require much meat"

HORSE Thieves AGAIN
They Ply Their Trade Despite
Watchfulness of the Officers.

Horse thieves are again plying
their trade in central Iowa and are
making way with valuable horses at
very frequent intervals despite the
watchfulness of the sheriffs and 9th
er officers. The last month has seen
a large number of horses stolen, most
of them from around the vicinity of
Des Moines, and the people are ask
ed to keep a sharp outlook for horses
answering to the descriptions Of the
stolen property sent out. Sheriff |.
NJ. Reed received a card this morning
asking him to watch for team OF
horses stolen from Cambridge, near
Nevada in Story county, on the night
of the Fourth, and described as fol
lows: One sorrel mare, about IL
years old, weight about 1850 right
front foot and hind foot is white, has
white strip in face and small rope
burn on left hind foot. This mare is
very fat. Also one light bay geldlng
weight 400 lbs, aged z years. has
small lump on left hing leg, trifie
lower down than a SPAWN would be.
Parties also took a top buggy a me-
dunn weight set of work harness, and
"a pair of yellow fly nets. II is
thought that there we're two men con
cerned in the stealing. A reward of
$25 is offered for the recovery OF
either animal.
/ Sheriff Griffin and deputies of Polk
county are convinced Des Moines is
the headquarters for the gang.
Two teams were stolen last week
one at Waukee and the other at Cam
bridge.
81 am satisfied that the thieves are
operating out of Des Moines, but they
have been so careful in their opera
tons as to avoid the slightest sus-
picion," says Sheriff Griffin. 1T is
my opinion an automobile is being
used by the thieves. in some in
stances" A..
On his tour over Des Moines in
search of the thieves Sheriff Griffin
was accompanied by number OF
Waukee farmers. Numerous barns
we're searched, but no trace of the
missing horses was found.

NAV ,ror.ase wejobt Of parcels,

Postoffice officials are expecting the
weight limit on parcel post packages
to be raised to twenty pounds. The
present limit is eleven pounds
While no official notice to that effect
has been received, the fact that the
postoffice department has advertised
for bids on scales which are to have
a weighing capacity of twenty pounds
Is taken to mean that the maximum
weight of parcels is to be increased.

Postmaster Trues' Mix Rate, Pound
and Zone In Rhyme.

Postmaster George C.. True has
been making a careful and critical
study of the parcel post rates and
charges and has established the rela-
tons of distance to rates. He has
marshaled the facts thus enlisted in
to line and makes them do service in
a simple way that can be remembered
by anyone, man, woman or child, hav-
ing use for the parcel post.

For pound the first, and weight no
more,
Locate its zone and add a four.
Each extra pound. to find the rate.
Except in zones six, seven and eight
Take from the sum above we found,
The figure two for the extra pound.

ACCIDENTS ON FOURTH
Three Boys Are Hurt by the Ex-
plosion of Toy Cannons.

July 4, 1913, claimed unusually
heavy toll of Oskaloosa boys Friday
and more hurts and mishaps are re-
ported than have been in years upon
the occasion of the Fourth.
Willie Suffer, a son of Lou Suffer,
No. 312 Fourth avenue West, and Guy
Little, son of Oakley Little, No. COS
South A street, were severely injured
by toy cannons of home manufacture.
Not being able to obtain large enough
firecrackers or preferring the novel
ty of firing a cannon, they and other
boys of the neighborhood made guns
that would speak like piece of artil-
cry. The boys had secured a piece
of steel shafting and by having 1t
bored out had several guns about ten
inches long. which awoke the echoes
when they were discharged. Unable
to realize the danger connected with
these instruments. the boys had con-
,tinued their use despite the protests
of parents and friends. The Suffer
boy was hurt while firing one of these
on South Market street near the DR..
Clark home. He was pounding down
charge when the gun exploded and
the lad received the charge in face
land at first II was feared Doth eyes
had been destroyed. The face was
lfearfully lacerated and it was well
toward evening before the eyes
could be examined carefully. II was
then found that the sight of both was
preserved, though they may be injur-
ed by the accident.
This experience scared most of the
boys, but later Guy Little suffered a
similar accident, though his injuries
were not so severe.
An investigation was made by Off.
GERS and a lot of powder, some min
iers' squibbs and other explosives
were found and confiscated.
-:--:- -
John Mckinley, a son of Charles
Mckinley, No. 623 North Market St,
was the third victim of the toy can
non. p, He lost a thumb, which was
blown away and had finger broken
by the premature discharge Of the
cannon. This lad also was pounding
& home the wads against charge oil
powder when the explosion occurred
He was taken to the Abbott hospital
where the wounds were dressed and
where he will remain for treatment
several days.

Clifford Stanton, No. 914 South L
street, son of Street Commissioner
"A. w. Stanton, was injured in an auto
mobile accident Friday evening. Stan
ton was knocked down and run over
While no bones are fractured he was
badly bruised ad scratched and will
be confined to his home several days
Stanton with a number of compan'
ions was crossing a crowded street
intersection. They gave way for
passing automobile closing in imme
diately behind it. No one noticed
that the car was pulling a dead ma
chine with rope attachment. Stanton
stepped into this rope, was knocked
down and the disabled car, with nc
lights burning to warn of its ap
proach. caught the young man as he
Twas PROSTATE on the pavement and
ran over his body. de was picked up
conveyed to his home, where he is
being cared for.

THE EEKS' FIREWORKS
Elaborate Pyrotechic Display or
Even of the Fourth.

OSkaloosa Elks furnished about the
only fireworks seen in Oskaloosa on
the evening of the Fourth. The lodge
held social session for members
and in the evening a special lot of
fireworks, including number of
pieces of special manufacture and
new to the people of this part of the
land were set off by Frank Snyder
who was in charge of the handling
of the pyrotechnics.
II was a somewhat elaborate dis
play and was enjoyed not by the mem.
bers of the lodge alone but by crowds
of people who fiocked to the corner
of the Elks Home. The fire works
were set off from the roof of the big
porch at the north end of the Elks
building and could be seen from
First street or from either side of
Second avenue, east or west of the
building. Hundreds of people were
crowded into these streets to see the
show. First street was filled with
autos and vehicles back to the street
car track and Second avenue was
occupied as far west as the fire sta.
tion. Othtrs crowded In front of the
building, on the north side of Second
avenue and block to the east.
Mr.. snyder alone assumed the re-
sponsibility OF handling the display
and would permit no one to partici.
pate the risk incurred in firing the
pieces. All in all 1t was a very nice
affair, one that reflects credit upon
the Elks and one that will be remem.
bered with pleasure by young and
old who witnessed II.

DEATHS DURING YEAR.
Lowest Death Rate In 0skaloosa
Within Period of Seven Years.

One hundred and three deaths oc.
Cured in the corporate limits of Os-
kaloosa, from July 1, 1912, to July 1,
1918, during the first year of the oper-
alton of the new health department.
The minimum was five deaths in Aug
ust of 1912 and the maximum was
fourteen deaths during May, 1913.
There was only one death from ty-
phoid fever during the entire twelve
months of the year.
The complete record for the deaths
of the year, including preventable
and other causes, is as follows:
The Oskaloosa herald. (Oskaloosa, Mahaska County, Iowa) 1885-1919, 1913-07-10

It is no unusual thing that the rate
of deaths according to population
should be greater in city than in the
country, but the one feature of the
records that DR.. Boyd would impress
upon all people of both country and
town is the prevalence of tuberculo
sis. Consumption is killing far more
people than any other one cause and
this is a preventable disease.
Even in the years of the typhoid ep-
idemic in Oskaloosa the deaths from
tuberculosis exceeded those traceable
TO typhoid or to any other one cause
and in other years the ratio is as far
apart as eight to one.
