Good packing always pays for itself

It is his duty to be there in the car

Another expenditure that prevents
breakage can be made in the way Of
liberal tips. The good VIII of the

amount of the tips. The promise,
which Of course must be honestly
fulfilled later, to send letter Of
recommendation for the head packer
to the company which employs him,
if the goods go thorugh in proper con-
dition, also insures attentive work
on the part of the men.

Line the insides of the packing
cases which are to hold the books

lay the books in evenly, sorting the
sizes so that each box is completely

should be wrapped separately in
sheets of newspaper before they are
packed. If the bindings are light col

that Las Vegas would become the

with Las Vegas hes in the ignorance
of the people of the value Of the nat

said they were not well informed and
thus threw a damper upon the enthu.
siasm of those persons who come in
here from other parts of the country
with the idea of locating. Mr.. Lucas
said Las Vegas has lying tributary
to 1t 10000 acres Of irrigable land.
He declared the people here, instead
of realizing that this is a tremendous
asset, in fact is the largest irrigable
tract lying near any city in the
world, are Iukewarm IN their encour-
agement of the promoters Of the ex-
listing projects and do not encourage
visitors with capital to invest. In
any other city, asserted Mr.. Lucas.
the people would have discounted five
years ahead the value to the com
munity of the Hand irrigation pro-
ject, which is recognized as one OF
the best any place m the country.
Mr.. Lucas said Las Vegans should
acquaint themselves with the value
Of the surrounding country and then

PNEUMONIA PREVENTION

The end of the winter, far from
bringing termination to the danger
from pneumonia, in reality marks the
beginning Of the season when this dis
ease becomes an extremely seriou:
cause of increase of mortality. This
{ is true particularly In large cities
In recent years this increase has be
come more and more marked and is
all the more striking because of the
decrease in deaths from other infee-
tious diseases. Pneumonia has been
aptly termed the captain of the Men
OF DEATH" dIsplacing tuberculosis
which for so long occupied that bad
eminence." The most important
problem before the medical profession
at present is the reduction Of the
death rate from pneumonia. ConsiG-
ering the nature of the disease and
the intense strain which it imposes
on the heart, it is probable that the
only hopeful outlook for any consider
able reduction in pneumonia mortality
Is through the prevention of the dis.
ease. The prospect of cure for it,
in the popular sense Of that term, ac-
cording to the Journal of the American
Medical Association, has grown less
as we have learned more about the
disease. While pneumonia is most
frequent during the colder portion of
the year It is not dependent entirely
on low temperature. The disease oc-
ours at all sessions and in allclimates
It does not work its greatest ravages
in the colder climates, but is rather
rare in the cold or high attitudes and
Is almost never known TO occur with
in the Arctic circle In spite Of all
their suffering from cold, Arctic ex-
plorers escape this danger Hence We
must assume that cold acts in con-
junction with some other factor in
the production Of the disease. Pneu-
monia IS favored by lack of sunlight
and it occurs among those who are
much exposed to dust or who have to
breathe the emanattons from the
lungs Of other people Catarrhal pro.
oesses affecting the air passages pre-
pare the soil for the implantation Of
the germ Of pneumonia. It is particu
larly disease Of city life and crowd
ed living. With our present knowl
edge the prospects are hopeful foi

through prevention. This is OF spe

liberal bequest from Mr.. Jones' mothers

Two Yards Of Cloth.
Sioux City, Nov. 14.-There will be
no more tight skirts worn by the MEM
bers of the Cardinal Current Events
Club. Nay. no matter what the hair
Drained modistes with futurist ideas
may dictate. The members of the club
have taken a vote an the subject and
decided unanimously to wear no skirt
less than two yards around the bot
tom.
All this may entail hardship.
Dresses and suits of that dimension
are hard to find in the fashionable
shops these days. Business may pick
up for the local dressmakers, however
for the fourteen members of the club
are united by solemn bond to taboo
the tube skirt and other freaks from
across the big pond.
The decision was reached following
the forceful address of Mrs. A. D
Collier on the subject of dress reform
Two other women's clubs of Sioux City
soon will hear the modern dress prob
lem discussed.
Mrs. Collier said that she hoped to
see the women of Iowa take up the
movement for reforming the degrading
tendencies of present STYLES. A motion
was made and unanimously carried
that the Cardinal Current Events Club
stand pat" on the subject, that they
would heartily endorse everything
said by Mrs. Collier, that they would
give individual help and stand as a
club for a sane mode of dress. and
would do all possible to make this a
state issue with the club women of
Iowa.

There was involved in the suit prop
more. BY the will of William Prosser,

strong and understood fully the import

would unite in union depot in this

can run into the Northwestern station
as it now stands. This depot was built
about fifteen years ago but is a very
large, convenient and substantial build
ing with all modern conveniences. This
will necessitate the two roads building
either one or two bridges over Willow
river. It is understood that the Rock
Island and Great Western are to pay
the operating expenses Of the depot in
consideration for its use. The North
western road will continue to occupy
the entire upstairs as division operat-
ing rooms. The change is to be made
as soon as weather will permit.
