WARNING TO AuToMosrLlsTs.

The court of appeals of Georgia has
declared that automobiles have no
monopoly of the highways nor any
priority of right in their use" A SINH
lar declaration was made recently by
our Iowa supreme court. It Is high
time that drivers of automobiles in
Keokuk and elsewhere should take no
tice of these Judicial announcements.
Judging from the conduct of some of
those in charge OF autos mostly
boys-one would suppose that they
owned the streets and that pedes-
trians have no rights which they are
bound to respect Not a day passes
but some driver narrowly misses run
ming someone down. II this continues
some one is sure to be injured-with
grave consequences to the driver OF
the machine as well as to the victim
OF the accident Reckless and domi-
neering drivers would do well to be
warned in time.

A SIGN OF PROSPERITY.

A test was made by the Pennsyl-
vania railroad company of the move.
ment of traffic during the first eigh-
teen days of August by causing a
count to be taken Of the number OF
cars passing certain important points
on the road between New York and
Pittsburgh. 1t was found that the
car movement was more than per
cent greater than for the correspond.
ing period of last year. And In 1912
freight traffic was unusually large.
When there is SO much business to
move, and 1t is kept moving, there.
is encouragement for everybody to be.
lieve that prosperity is maintaining
the pace which is set for itself despite
tariff legislation, the currency and
everything else.

MExlco,s GREATEST NEED.

Pending the outcome OF negotiations
between the United States and Next
can governments 1t is of interest to
note the opinion recently expressed by
Professor M. C. O'Shea, Of the Uni
versity of Wisconsin, that the first
requisite for improving conditions in
Mexico is to Increase the opportuni-
ties for education there and to better
the schools now in operation. 1t is
impracticable, he believes to improve
social conditions on a lasting basis
when the majority OF the people are
illiterate and when many of those
who have had any education have had
only q. formal, artificial and ineffective
training.
Professor O'Shea has studied the
relation of schools to the national
welfare in European countries He
has not found capable student Of ma
tional progress who did not say that
the advancement of the people depend
ed primarily upon the efficiency ana
universally Of education 1t Is
through this means largely that the
foremost country in Europe has push
ed to the front, and he remarks that
the country which was once at the
front has fallen to the rear because of
failure toedevelop a thorough educa-
tional system which would adequately
meet changing conditions.

The river has been damned and
the dam dedicated and it is now up
to Keokuk to make the largest pos
sible local market for the power gem
Grated by the big turbines. This can
best be done by securing the location
here of factories which are large
users OF power. The object is one
on which all classes of citizens can
unite, with benefit to all. A long pull,
a strong pull and pull all together
for factories would be infinitely pref.

MEMPHIS. MO.

The chautauaua held recently in
Memphis, by the Rednath and Auter
people proved 10 be a mixture Of merit
and de-merit in a proportion that e.
hfbited predominating element of the
latter. While enough tickets have
been signed for chautauqua next year
1t Is generally understood By the lead
Ing promoters Of the annual chautau-
qua that no vaudeville stunts or trash
talent can again be paImed off on this
vicinity. DR. GunsauIas and Tharin's
band were perfectly satisfactory. The
rest OF the bill was below standard Of
what Memphis is entitled to in The
way OF chautauqua course. 1t seems
That Memphis is regarded as a highly
musical city, but on other lines very
common. Such is not the situation
here. While Memphis is truly must
cal, 1t Is also versatile and demands a
course for its ehaItauqua which is sec
ond to none. Good music and a uro-
famed orator do not hll the bill, and
Just SO soon as the cheaper talent ap-
pears, the chautauqua spirit begins TO
wane. Memphis has done much to en-
courage and assist the work in fhts
part OF the state and will continue TO
do so, If the promoters respond with
fair treatment and just appreciation
Tor the standard of entertainm emit
which she demands.
Last Friday while one of the gated
races was ON and the high melted ami.
mails were speeding around the fair
ground ring at the Memphis fair, a
huge, hard-shelled bug collided with
the under lip Of driver and fastened
its pincers deep in the flesh and held
last. The driver was compelled to let
go one line and pull the insect loose
with his hand which he did and In do
ing SO, tore the flesh severely. Before
the neat vas over his lips and face be-
gan to swell and by the time he
reached the stable, his features were
! SO distorted by puffs from the poison
mat he could not drive any more races.
The swelling did not conlne itself to
the lips. but the whole face, neck
and scalp were affected by POISON.
Monday morning marked the date
for the annual exodus of country
school teachers from Memphis to all
parts of Scotland county. The open.
ing of our city schools is deferred for
one week, but many of the rural
schools open Monday.
Scotland county sees no relief from
the prevalent drought, and the water
supply Is limited in many parts OF the
country, the farmers being compelled
to maui water in tanks and barrels ia
water their stock, while MANY are
now harvesting their corn, which is a.

COST OF LIVING ADVANCES.

A report just issued by the British
board of trade shows that the cost of
living, as measured by rent, fuel. food
and clothing, has advanced by IL per
cent in seven years, although it is
lower than a generation ago. There
is very little evidence that wages,
except In certain special industries,
have gone up in the same proportion,
SO 1t may be taken for granted that
the average worker is no better of
than he was.
Such rise as there has hesn in the
cost of living is not pecul ar to the
British Islands. It is part of world
wide movement, AMI has been less
marked in the United Kingdom than
in most other countries. The index

HOT WEATHER FOODS.

Not little of the discomfort and
ill-health experienced in hot weather
may be traced to the use of unseason-
able foods. II some people would stop
to take thought about their diet and
try to adjust it to the actual require
ments of the body, there would be less
need Of summer TONES" and medi-
cines.
In recent magazine article DR..
Harvey ". Wiley, formerly at the
head OF the pure food and drug de-
partment of the federal government,
points out that the high temperatures
of summer make radiation from the
body less rapid, and to this extent
diminish the need of fuel. The oils.
fats, starches and sugars, which are
useful heat-forming foods in winter.
should be reduced to a minimum dur.
Ing hot weather. A moderate amount
of the protein or albuminous foods.
such as lean meat, fish, eggs. cheese
and nuts, which are required for the
repair and growth of the body, and a
liberal portion of ripe fruits and yege.
tables, make good summer dietary.
DR.. Wiley gives this advice.
or course there is no such thing
as a cooling food, since all foods. save
those of purely mineral Character
are burned In the body. But there
are foods, such as oils and fats. whose
sole function is to furnish heat. You
will feel better, be less oppressed by
| the heat Of summer, and better fitted
for the duties of the day, II fats and
Tolls are largely replaced by srcculent
vegetables and acid fruits during the
dog days"
But fruits and vegetables are very
often covered with disease-breeding
germs, and DIR. Wiley advises that
they be carefully peeled or cooked
before being given to children. Meat
deteriorates quickly in summer, and
1T is safer to depend on fresh fish
eggs, and vegetable proteins. Of ice

EVERY MANS HOME.

EVERY MANS HOME.
Every mans home is the best old
home,
And every mans wife the sweetest;
Every mans child is the best little
child
The best behaved and the neatest,
Every mans baby is better than all
The babies that ever were born
And Just 80 It's babies and wives and
homes
Why let 'em blow their horn!
Every mans wife makes the finest
preserves.
And every mans wife bakes bread
That beats all the bread that ever was
made
From Hatteras to Stony Head
4 Every mans home is the place to see
The finest Housekeeping on earth
And Just SO It's bread and preserves
and home,
Let 'em keep on with their mtrth!
When every man thinks that his own
homes best,
And his own wife's sweetest, why
then
We'll swing back unto the golden
dream
OF heaven on earth again
And isn't 1t beautiful, fine and sweet,
That faith OF man in his child,
And his wife and his home and his
simple life,
That he boasts of undefiled?
When every mans home is the sweet
est place
On earth for man to be;
When every mans wife Is the sweet
est wife
In all the world to see;
When every mans child is the dear
est child
That ever drew breath-ah, then,
We shall have better children and
women and homes
And darned sight better men!
