PERiLs OF IMPURE ICE.
Bulletin on Winter Harvest Issued BY
State Board Of Health,

DeS MoineS, Dec. BIN a bulletin is
sued yesterday the state board Of
health gives a warning to persons in
tending to put up Ice for domestic use.
Pollution Of streams and lakes from
which the ice is to be taken must be
guarded against to escape bad results,
the bulletin declares.
by companies which put up ice on a
large scale for distribution railroads
and private individuals putting up ice
for their own consumption. the ever
increasing danger Of putting up nat
ural ice from the streams and lakes OF
Iowa should be borne in mind" says C.
n. Kinney. chemist for the state board,
in the bulletin.
ut is fact that the increasing pollu-
ton of our streams and lakes has
reached a point that practically all of
them are unfit to use for drinking pur-
poses raw or untreated
Freezing water diminishes much of
the .mpurity and therefore ice made
from impure water is much better than
the original water or the water left be-
hind after freezing. Analyses have
shown. however, that while large part
OF the impurities are eliminated in
freezing, some are left in the Ice. Such
Ice is subject to the same danger as the
original water, but to a less degree, as
the amount is less.
THE use Of such ice In direct con-
tact with foods or for cooling drinks by
direct contact or melting in the liquid
is frausht with danger and is a con-
slant menace to users Of the same.
Storage of ice will improve it's quail
ity from a sanitary viewpoint, and it is
true that impure ice is better to use
late in the summer or fall than it is in
the spring or early summer.
There should be some regulations as
to where and how ice is harvested and
| under what conditions it Is distributed,
No ice should be allowed distributed
to the public that is not free from dan
ger and all distributing companies
should be required to furnish a certifi-
cate as to the purity of their ice in
tended for distribution"

the Southwestern Iowa Horticultural
Society, which is holding its thirty
ninth annual meeting here. Nebraska
orchardists came forward with pleas to
make it as grave a crime against mod
ern horticulture to place a wormy or
otherwise bad apple in a pack to be put
on the market as to steal horse and
found hearty response from the Iowa
men.
The meeting is the most largely at
tended and the discussions of the most
fruitful character that have marked
any of the recent annual gatherings.
The men constituting the audience and
taking part in the discussion represent
the most successful fruit men in the
district, and they did not hesitate to
lions Of E. NJ. Pollard Of Nehawka,
Neb, to adopt a rule that will maxi
it impossible for a bad apple to find
its way into box packs. Mr.. Pollard
told OF the trouble Of handling the out
put of l60-acre orchard and the loss
es that all Missouri valley growers
were annually suffering, among which
is the regular loss OF the local markets.
HIS talk followed the presentation OF
the subject Of the commercial pack
age by w. S. Keeline Of this city.
River Apples tho Best.
II do not think any person can dis
pute the fact that apples grown any
where within fifty miles Of either side
Of the Missouri, river from Sioux City
to St. Joseph can be excelled or even
equaled by those grown anywhere else
in the country" said Mr.. Pollard while
every person in the room was applaud
ing.
The flavor. the quality. the color, the
keeping qualifications all excel those
grown anywhere I know Of, yet the To-
cal grower Is practically driven out Of
his market by the northw estern packs
after Christmas time. It's our own
fault. The housewife goes to her gro
Gerry and buys a peck Of native apples.
She finds about half Of them wormy
and otherwise defective. A little later
in the season she buys a box Of the
western apples and finds every one
perfect and those in the bottom as fine
as the top layers. That settles it. The
consumers regard US as being cheats
and frauds when we are absolutely
honest, but stupidity careless. We must
all pack our apples in the same manner
that characterizes the work OF the
western growers, so that our associa-
tons can offer 800 for single wormy
apple in carload. We must grow and
pack our fruit that the name Of our as
ISOLATION is a sure guaranty Of quality
and synonym Of honesty. We must
raise standards and our reputation"

TOBACCO BARRED FROM SCHOOL,
Sioux City Board Prohibits Use o
Weed Among Studenta,

Sioux City, Dec. 3.-The board Of
education ordered Superintendent
Clark to draft a public school rule
prohibiting all pupils from using to-
bacco in any form and to provide for
the enforcement Of the mandate.
The action followed a recommends
ton of Superintendent Clark. The
last state legislature passed a law
making it the duty Of boards OF edu-
cation in every district to make such
a rule. Until now no action has been
taken by the Sioux City directors.
The rule, as it will be drafted by SUI
perintendent Clark will provide for the
Suspension or expulsion Of pupils who
violate the order.
Recent investigations have shown
that great many school children use
tobacco in some form, according to
