Municipal Boosting.

The Southern Commercial Secre-
taries' association at its last meeting
passed resolution favoring state
laws permitting cities to levy a tax,
the returns from which to be paid
into the treasury of the local COM
mercial organization, for the purpose
of advancing the interests of the city
by advertising it, securing factories,
conventions, etc.
This bill was drafted in Keokul1
and introduced into the legislature
by the Senator McManus and Con-
gresham Hamilton. 1t was passed.
with little difficulty and now KeokuK
is the only city in the state-at least
to our knowledge is levying the
tax for booster purpose.
In speaking of the law, the Iowa
City Citizen says:
"The theory of the association was
that such efforts as are made by
commercial clubs are for the benefit
of the whole community and should
be paid for by the whole community;
that cities should at least have the
privilege OF using public money for
such purpose If they so desire.
iowa has law looking in this d.
rection, though not so inclusive. The
thirty-fourth general assembly pro
vided that any city may establish by
ordinance a departm OF public
ity, development and general wei.

favor it when submitted to vote
The council is to appoint the superin,

money is to be paid out for bonuses
nor to assist private enterprises
With this restriction the work is tc
consist of encouraging and promot

! of such cities, and the increase o.
population thereof The expenses
may be paid out OF ''any and all fund:
received from fines and penalties" OF
| "other funds not derived from gen
eral taxation
This law was passed two years
ago, but SO far there seems to have
! been no movement in Iowa communi

4 probable that such a law as proposes
by the southern association woul
have still less chance of getting int
operation in this state.
The difficulty in the way OF sue
action is not that the communitie

but in the middle vets at least the

The woman who understands.
AS the tide went out she found him
Lashed to the spar of despair
The wreck of his ship around him,
The wreck of his dreams in the air
Found him, and loved him, and gath
cred
The soul OF him to her heart;
The soul that had sailed on unchart-
cred sea-
The soul that had sought to win and
The soul of which she was part;
And there in the dusk she cried to
the man;
win your battle-you can-you
can
Helping and loving and guiding,
Urging when that was best;
Holding her fears in hiding
Deep In her quiet breast;
This is the woman who kept him
True to his standards lost
When tossed in the storm and stress
and strife,
He thought himself through with the
game OF life
And ready to pay the cost;
Watching and guarding -whispering
still,
''Win-you can-and know you will. "
This is the story OF the ages;
This is the woman's way;
Wiser than seers or sages,
Lifting us day by day;
Facing all things with courage
Nothing can daunt or dim;
Treading life's path wherever II
leads
Lined with flowers or choked with
weeds,
But ever with him-with him;
Guardian, comrade, and golden spur
The men who win are helped by her
somewhere she waits. strong In belief
Your soul in her firm white hands
Thank well the gods when she come.

clean MIX.

Dr.. W. A. Evans In Chicago IT'D
une: "All is not gold that glitters."
No tall white substances are clean.
The cleanest appearing of all foods
virgin white milk--is the dirtiest OF
all foods. One can eat a good deal OF
dirt with safety if 1t has been COOK
ed, but raw dirt is dangerous. II one
can eat peck Of dirt with safety It
must be cooked dirt.
Dirt gets into milk from the milk
er's hands, from the cows udder, from
the swish of the cows TAIL from the
milk pals and milk cans, from the
air of the stable, and from any faulty
handling after it leaves the farmer.
Simple procedures are all that are
necessary to keep the dirt down to
small proportions. They are clean
hands, clear udder, and clean pals
and cans.
Clean hands and clean udders re-
quire just little time AMI some soap
and water. Absolutely clean pals
and cans require steam under pres
sure, and this will not be available
for the farmer unless he can persuade
the factory to do it for him. II the
factory will sterilize the cans the
farmer need not expose them to the
dust, air, and sun as he must do now
to keep them from sinking.
There is one other necessity that
the farmer should meet and that is
the use of the small mouthed milk
pail.
A consumer who uses milk from a
small dealer can form a fair idea OF
the cleanliness of milk production by
| looking for dirt in the milk at the bot.
tom of the bottle The consumer who
buys milk from a large dealer can
not judge by this method, because Y
| Is the custom among large dealers e
| filter the dirt out before bottling the
milk.
Even a better method is to filter q
| pint of milk. Milk will filter SLOWLY
! through ordinary filter paper. partic
ularly If it is well warmed It will
filter better through pledget Of alb
sorbent cotton placed in funnel The
dirt left behind will show up plainly
on the paper or the cotton.
One Of the most effective proce
dures used by the Chicago health de
partment is the dirt test applied OF
the farms, at the factories, or In thu
stores and In the streets.
The method is described in its an
nual report for 1911. 1t consists of |
little filter in which the milk filter
rapidly. because it filters into bottl,
from which some Of the air has beer
exhausted.
Most of the visible dirt in milk /
/ stable manure However disgustinl
that may be, the real harm is done b
the growing bacteria washed from tn
stable manure.
The best test OF dirt is the bacteris
count. If fifteen drops. contain les
4 than 10000 Bacteria the milk Is, an
has always been, clean. If more tina
4 10000 and less than a few hundre
thousand, 1t is. and always has beer
moderately clean. If in the millions
it is, or has been. dirty.
