AFTER THE PLUMBERS TRUST.

According to Des Moines dis
Patch, the federal and state investi-
cation into the plumbers combina-
ton has made great progress and
there seems now to be little doubt
that effective prosecution will be had,
with the result that the plumbers will
have to dissolve their organization
and reorganize on different basis
It seems to have been pretty well
established that the plumbers have In
various cities agents who are known
as price fxers and to whom all con-
tracts are referred. Unless member
conforms to the prices fixed he will
be ousted from the organization The
attorney general has been working on
/ the case a long time but was unable
to secure sufficient evidence to war
irant an attack as the state does not
provide money for investigations. Now
the federal authorities have gone
after the trust at Sioux City and 9th
er places, and 1t is believed something
will be accomplished.

aARRARlTlEs oE WAR.

Professor Samuel I. Dutton of New
York, who represented the United
States on the international commits
sion to investigate the causes and eff
fects of the Balkan wars, confirms the
tragic horrors described by cores
of the armies. The report of the
commission will be ready In about
two months. while cannot antici-
pate the report said Professor Dut-
ton in a New York Times Interview,
IN can say that no published state
ments have adequately described the
tragedies that have taken place under
the name Of war The report will con-
tain accurate and carefully attcsted
accounts of the whole war of the al
lies that are not yet made known.
am sure the world will be amazed that
nations calling themselves christian
can, either through anger or greed,
commit such barbarities on their fell
low men. Certainly there has never
been war in twenty years in which
the combatants fought with such
ferocity. and never was an event SO
unnecessary and so uncalled for as
the war in which those standing side
by side in the struggle to drive the
Turk out Of Europe began to rend
each other and to use every known
process of determination and devasta-
ton. In the two wars 100000 men
we're engaged and the losses were not
less than 100000. An estimate of the
havoc may be made from the fact
that there were 100000 Turkish ref
ugees driven from their homes and
100000 Bulgars.

BLOND WOMEN AND DIVORCE.

The blonde woman is still the rock
on which the majority of wrecked
marriages are dashed, according to
statistics picked up in one New York
divorce court in the past two weeks.
OF 245 divorce suits heard in one
court in that period, 220 were brought
by wives on grounds of infidelity. In
210 of the 22o cases the alleged CO.
respondents were blonde OF the 22o
correspondents named, ten were
brunettes or red-haired. Blue eyes,
too. play their part In the havoc. Two
hundred and five had blue eyes, one
was blind, and the rest had brown,
black or hazel eyes. With forty ex-
ceptions, the husbands in the 220
cases cited were brunettes. But thir-
ty were blondes. The ten not bru-
nettes were either bald or red-haired.

SAFETY ON PUBLIC ROADS.

~~-oNN''>
bent upon making travel on the high
ways less dangerous. Iowa is fortu-
late in having many railroads. There
is not county in the state without
its railroads and the Iowa farmer,
who cannot hear the whistle of the
locomotive as he is busy in the fields,
las indeed a right to maintain that
he is lonesome and isolated. But the
large number of roads means many
crossings and most of these are on the
level and therefore an everlasting
source of danger. The railroads have
been going in strong for Safety
First" work Of late and the state high
way commission believes that it will
be grand thing to help along this
cause and to make this slogan one Of
statewide significance.
1t is a we'll known fact, that the
things that make crossing danger
Gus are manifold, and that sometimes,
in fact frequently, it is not the fault
Of the railroad people, If crossings
Iare dangerous The road may ap-
proach the crossing in such way,
that it Is impossible to see or to
know, whether there is danger, until
enc is well-nigh on the track. The
automobile has increased the danger,
even as 1t has been the cause OF in
creased travel.
The state highway commission is
going to go about this matter in a
careful manner, and expects to get re
suits. 1t may be that the road can be
lre-located or SO improved that what
has heretofore been a death trap viii
become comparatively safe crossing
1t announces it's purpose as follows
The attention of the state highwa,
commission has been conferred upor

Pa knows the situation down in

He could end the revolution in that
country overnight;
He knows all about the tariff AMI the

He can settle all the problems that
our congressman pc pick.
But the money bill has fioored h m,

For he knows himself he doesn't know

He can talk about the Balkans and
the row they're always in;
In the recent war with Russia he de-
clared the Japs would win:
He knows why the cost of living
keeps on soaring to the sky,
Why the Germans worry England,
and why radium is high:
He knows clearly what to others i,
still very vague and dim,
But the currency proposals are bit
too deep fer him
Pa can talk en- woman's suffrage till

He knows everything about 1t that

He can discourse on eugenics, tell

Tell you just why steels and coppers
often fluctnate in price,

it makes him rage and stoTm
When some ignoramus asks him
What is currency reform?"

MANS WANTS.


Man wants but little here below"
That was an ancient song;
We do not hear it now, you know,
The sentiment is wrong.
Man wants just now all he can get,
In way of sordid tin;
The way that some go after it
Seems like very sin.
Man wants a fancy touring car,
He wants private yacht;
He wants to get lot of junk
His neighbors haven't got.
He wants a lot of suits of clothes
And rare game for his wife;
He wants chateau by the sea,
To make complete his life.
a1e wants lot of stocks and bonds,
And Standard Oil preferred;
He also wants lot of thing
OF which he never heard.
He doesn't really want them,
In true sense of the term;
But thinks he does and that's tn
same,
And he'll work and squirm
To garner everything in sight
And keep it stored away.
He saves a lot OF useless junk
To meet the rainy day;
And when he does and passes on
He leaves it all behind.
Because he cannot take along
A thing of any kind.
Twould suit lot of men first-rate
If they were but endowed
With brains sufficient to invent
A pocket for the shroud.

WOOD ALCOHOL CAUSES TROUBLE

WOOD ALCOHOL CAUSES TROUBLE
A dispatch from Des Moines says
that reports continue to be received
there of the offering for sale through
out the state of toilet preparations con-
tanning wood alcohol, and the state
pharmacy board Is doing all it can to
stop such use of the poison. 1t Is
probable that the next legislature will
be asked to forbid the sale of wood al
cohol under the name of alcohol at
all, but to require that 1t be given Its
chemical name or some other; also,
that it be placed in the list Of poisons
and that purchasers be required to sign
up the poison register with pharma-
cists before getting the stuff. All the
reports of the experts are, that 1t is
causing blindness and sometimes
death, and this may be by inhalation
of the fumes as we'll as by internal or
external application to the body. The
matter Is said to be becoming quite
serious in Iowa.

The proportions given above are for a
healthy child of three months. The
new born baby, and the delicate baby
require special proportions OF milk,
water and sugar. A baby less than a
week old for example, is given or
ounces of milk with IL ounces Of water
and no sugar. No mother Of aelicate
child, or child whose digestion is
weak should decide on the proper
modification of milk without consulting
her physician.
Now as to the division OF the
milk to be fed the baby No bottle
baby should receive more than eight
ounces at a feeding. His feelings are
divided into the same intervals as
those of the nursing baby. The deli.
cate baby, from birth to three months,
is fed every two hours from 6 a. m. to
p. m. ana once at a. M; the robust
baby from birth on, every three hours.
All these instructions are for nor
NAL, healthy babies, not for delicate,
puny babies. These require special
advice, special proportions in modified
milk.
Finally the selection and care of the
bottle. Here are the simplest and
most compact instructions on this sub.
ject, prepared by a baby specialist.
Every mother Of bottle-fed baby
should tack them up where she can see
them daily:
