Right feeding isn't matter of quantity-mos

right kind of food helps wonderfully to make and

The fact is, some every day articles of food are
lacking in certain food values to make their

voiced his expert testimony as follows
in the Tribune:

Great Object Lesson.

Without depreciating the value OF
the Keokuk dam, can safely say
that the roads built by the power com
pany along the river on both sides
are of greater value to Iowa than the
dam itself" declared Mr.. Walker
These roads are a great object les
son and the effect upon the state will
be worth many times the value of the
dam
The company In creating the lake
destroyed many of the country roads
After the improvement was complet
ed, the company went to work on a
new highway to replace the roads
which were inundated or made use
less. From Keokuk to Montrose the
road was graded so that in no place
is the grade greater than per cent
The road was graded to a width OF
sixteen feet, in the center OF the
road. The drainage is excellent and
the road is fine smooth, easy grade
and has all the advantages of boule
ward.

Time TO Curb the Mail Chauffeurs

Alderman Folks, who fathered the present ordi-
nance in relation to motor vehicles, is convinced
that under the ruling of magistrates amendments
will be necessary to curb the speeding procIVlues
of the drivers of the automobile mail trucks Al
present these mail trucks are exempt from speed
limitation. like Police and Fire department We
hicles Mr.. Folks promises to present new pro-
vision which shall deprive them Of special prNi-
leges and leave no loophoe for escape II their
chauffeurs continue to turn the citys streets into
fair imitation of a Vanderbilt Cup racecourse.
1t is high time that some way, by legal hmlta-
ton if none exists, by police interference If abe
uuate provisions of law on the statute BOOKS
should be discovered to check these reckless drif-
ers They have now nine deaths and scores OF ac-
cidents resulting in serious injuries to their us
credit The postofice authorities say they have no
power in the case, the contractors for mail he
livery are responsible. The public can recognize
no especial sanctity in vehicle for mail delivery
and demands just as much protection against care
lessness or recklessness the part of these drv-
ers as is given against chaueurs for private indi-
yiduals or business concerns

Antiouated Campaign Methods.

Mr. Adamsons speech at the dinner given to him
by the Advertising Mems League will strengthen
the pubc's conviction that he possesses an unusu-
ally large fund of common sense When political
manager can say after n winning campaign, "Our
methods were almost out of date as Tammany
Hall itself" he demonstrates that he has not been
blinded by a too easy success. Mr.. AdamsoD was
never more practical and sensible than when he
confessed that "three-quarters of the money spent
on the fusion campaign was wasted.
The fact is that about three-quarters of the
money now spent in every political campaign is
wasted i'm trying to keep alive Oldfashioned child
like methods Of exciting political enthusiasm But
tons. banners. red fire. college mems leagues and
private circulars to every voter are equally IN
availing About the greatest task of the average
campaign committee is to find enough work to keep
the headquarters staff busy
When he was chairman of the Republican Ma
tional Committee in 1904 Mr.. Corteyou made ex-
actly the same discovery that Mr.. Adamson has
now made Too much money is spent on the uniIn-
portant details of political management. The real
object of political manager should be to get the
issues his candidate represents before the public,
and the easiest and cheapest way to reach that END
is through the newspapers
