Alfalfa in Iowa.

J. C. Middleton, an Eagle Grove
farmer is an enthusiastic alfalfa rails
err. He seeded three acres in 1910.
The next year he cut one crop and
pastured the tract the balance of the
season. In 1912 he cut three crops
and the total yield was l 5 tons worth
$50 or $50 per acre. He sowed
three acres more last fall and 1t al
so promises to do well. This year
he will add four acres to the tract.
He says that his stock will even leave
grain to eat alfalfa. He distributes
ten loads of manure to the acre of
seedbed, then plows, discs and har-
rows thoroughly. The field is On
high rolling ground which is the best
adapted to alfalfa. 1t takes 20 lbs.
of seed to the acre and the latter
part of August is the best time to
seed.

A Guaranteed Liver Remedy.

II everyone realized the import
-ance of the liver and the necessity
Of keeping 1t in perfect condition in
order to insure perfect general
health, no one would neglect seeking
a remedy the instant any symptom
Of liver weakness appeared; and II
everybody realized the value of Rex
all Liver Salts in the treatment OF
all forms of liver trouble, and the
various ailments arising therefrom,
it's use would be even more general
than now. Rexall Liver Salts is a
remedy specially designed for ton
ing up and strengthening the liver,
helping it to remove poisonous waste
matters from the body, and tending
to correct that rundown, tired-out,
ail-goae feeling that usually accom-
panies liver disorders.
Gently stimulating in its effect,
Rexall Liver Salts, at the same time,
contains ingredients that help to
strengthen and tone up the liver and
restore it to its normal health and
activity. Every sale is accompanied
by our positive guarantee to refund
the money in any case In which 1t
does not give satisfaction. Prices,

yinton Woman a Walking Bank.

Vinton, Iowa, Jan. 25.-Word has
been received here that when Miss
Winnie Jones was turned over to
the hospital authorities at Indepen-
dence they discovered that she was a
walking bank. In her stockings was
found $497.98 in gold, silver and
currency. County Attorney Moss
man was notified. He says the mon
ey was placed to the young woman
credit. Miss Jones, 1t is said, had
many decisions, one of which was
that some one was trying to get her
money. On her return from the west
some time ago she had $500, which
she placed in local bank. A week
before she went to Independence she
Withdrew the money, taking part in
gold and part in currency.

Closed Season on Frogs.

Minneapolis, Mimi, Jan. 81
Frogs need the protection of the
game and fish commission in the
opinion of Representative P. P. Frye
of Willmar, and he has prepared a
bill forbidding that they be killed
and sold. He takes the position that
frogs, as they live largely on grass
hOppers, are great benefit to the
agricultural interests and if the prac-
tice of killing them for the market Is
continued they will soon become ex-
tinct and agriculture will suffer from
devastation by grasshoppers. His
measure will permit frogs to be used
as a bait for fishing.

SAVING THE GIRLS.

Over in London they are trying to
protect the girls. The extent of the
white slave traffic is said to be some
thing astounding. In one section. the
Piccadilly Circus, that seems to be
the regular business and there are
hundreds of the poor unfortunates
herded there nightly. And every night
new victims are brought in, many of
them girls who have never yet drop
ped into evil ways.
A recent story in one Of the leading
magazines sets forth graphically the
horrors Of the white slave traffic.
The traffic has grown to such an
alarming extent and is such an open
and outrageous disgrace upon Eng,
lands fair name that the municipal
authorities have actually issued pam
phlets warning women of the dangers
and have scattered them broadcast
over the land. Here are some Of the
'Dont's for Girls" as given in the
pamphlet:
Never ask the way Of any'but
officials.
Never stay to help woman
who apparently faints at your
feet in the street, but call po-
liceman Immediately.
Never accept a lift offered by a
stranger in a vehicle Of any de-
scription.
Do not accept sweets, food or
drink or smell flowers offered by
strangers as they may contain
/ drugs.
Do not speak to strangers.
Never accompany a stranger
(even If dressed as a hospital
nurse) or believe stories of a re-
lation having met with an acct
dent. as this is a common device
10 kidnap girls.
II accosted by stranger
whether man or woman walk as
quickly as possible to the nearest
poicemah.
The same rules might apply to equa
advantage in some of the larger Amer
lean cities.

safer and better than control in the
interests of any one section.
The object of the foundation is to
promote the well-being and to ad-
vance the civilization of the world in
the acquisition and dissemination of
knowledge; in the prevention and re-
lief of suffering, and in the promotion,
by eleemosynary and philanthropic
means, of all the elements Of human
progress, subject to the limitations
which congress at any time in the fu-
.'ture may impose.
The language is left purposely' in
definite in order that the foundation
nay respond to the changing demands
Of the public as long as It remains in
existence The donor realizes that
the power of determining the special
objects to which the fund shall be de-
voted ought 10 be left for all time with
living men, who will always be better
able to judge CT current necessities
than any one man, no matter how far
sighted, who had died long before.
Under the provisions of the bill, the
total amount Of property to be held by
the foundation al any one time, either
absolutely or in trust, must never ex-
coed the original gift of 100000 900,
exclusive Of increase in value of prop
erty subsequent TO it's receipt.
Moreover, the income of the prop
erty must not be allowed to accumu-
late or be added to the principal but
must be currently applied to the OBJ
iccts of the corporation. However, as
the foundation will have an income of
not more than s5,OOO,OOO a year and
will have all humanity TO spend it
upon, there will never be any danger
that the trustees will be at a loss TO
find uses for the money"

WHEAT IN THE CORN BELT.

In the current issue Of Farm and
Fireside appears an article by L. c.
Burnett, a wheat specialist attached
TO the Iowa experiment station, in
which the author shows how the great
American corn belt must introduce
more wheat growing II IL is to pre-
serve its success. Following is sn ex-
tract:
while the corn belt has raised more
acres and more bushels Of wheat with
each succeeding decade, still It has not
kept pace with its increase in popu-
lation. nor has the importance Of the
crop from the farmers standpoint been
maintained. Each year sees smaller
portion OF our -four on the export mar
kets. Each year sees a greater in
crease in the corn crop than It sees in
the wheat crop, but We cannot escape
the fact that no highly developed CIV
ilization has ever been built by any
but whest-fed people. The Saxon aid
the Anelo-SaxOn have always demand
ed wheatkas the staple crop for the stan
of life.
The demand Of our people for wheat
bread. however. is only part OF the
argument, for II We are TO maintain an
agriculture that will give our popula.

THE NEW NICKEL.

In giving out information about the
new nickel to be issued this month,
the secretary Of the treasury explains
everything except the need of chang
ing the design. 1t may be that the
decorative lines Of the coin now in use
are not up to the artistic ideals Of the
administration. but it serves the pur-
pose OF paying car fares and other
daily needs, and the public is familiar
with its appearance That is all that
can be expected of any honest nickel.
Still. It is doubtful if the public has
any objection 20 the government issu-
ing a new nickel so long as IL coins
plenty OF them and they continue to
circulate at their face value. They
will be bright and pretty when they
come into circulation, but will soon
become dingy and battered by use.
But so long as the old nickel remains
extant and the new nickel keeps going
either OF them will be accepted with
thanks at the counting room OF The
Argus in exchange for the newspaper
or for advertising And the more that
come in, the merrier.
Long live the new nickel. It's prede-
cessor has been a kind friend to many
man and a convenient coin for the
church collection box. It goes without
saying that the new nickel will answer
the same purposes as the old one.
Long live the nickel.

For several years our talks and dem
onstrations of foods and housekeeping
have been with the real. or near,
grown-ups. That is, those who have
kept house several years, others just
beginning and still others getting all
the help possible before starting in
their new Observation-Disclosures
But, with all that, | have had no
chance with the children (boys or
girls, 1t makes no difference which,
in the part which they take in making
the home a happy place to live. You
may not know It, but everything you
make or do yourself gives you salts
fed, happy feeling while you are doing
Il and after you have done it.
I once knew a family Of seven chill
dren. Returning from their vacation
one summer, the cook failed to appear
at the appointed time (Which frequent
ly happens), and also the housemaids.
But this was family who must have
followed our motto, which l give
yop: Everything to help and moth
ing to hinder" for It only took a short
time before every child had his or her
work to do, from the smallest child
who went to school to the oldest son,
who was employed in large store in
the city. One helped mother get the
breakfast, another washed the dishes,
another aired and made the beds, run
the sweeper, and so on through the
work, and by the time they all left
home for their work or school, the
house was in order; and the best part
of it was, one of the young men of the
family told me of this, as though they
were having the proudest and happiest
/ time Of their lives.
/ Now, l have thought out something
like this for you: Every week this
column will be for you, ana if you need
