A Turn OF the Wheel.

a Turn OF the Wheel.
On which my adversary discovers that
hs has trumped his ace.)
In spite OF my assumed Indifference,
spent O. miserable night within the
iZing that the case against Charles
looked black; had no strong faith
in French justice particularly In a
case OF alleged espionage, which would
send up the nations anger TO the boil
ing point. When the first etreaks OF
daylight entered my room / arose and
dressed with feverish anticipation of
the days developments. The "princi-
pal female witness" OF whom the
banker Magniff had spoken was due TO
arrive that morning Whoever she
might be, ! hoped that her evidence
would prove boomerang for the pros
ecutlon. Certainly the climax OF the
affair must be at hand: this racking
torturing suspense could not endure
much longer.
My only joy-but how great one,
how strong a comfort cannot put into
words-was the recollection that
Charles and had publicly pledged our
troth nothing could take away the
memory of that or tear from either

matter what the outcome.
The development was even speedier
than l had imagined. After l had
breakfasted upon light meal brought
in by the same kindly officer of the pre-
ceding day, visitors were announced.
The major, who had introduced them.
withdrew. muttering something about
privacy. and there entered-Magniff
himself, followed by a woman whom.

night had wrought upon the banker.
For all his self-confidence was gone;
his hair was rufIied, his garments un-
tidy, his face woebegone and haggard;
he looked as though he was upon the
verge OF a nervous breakdown.
DO you know this woman?" he
asked me, indicating his companion,
without even the formality of a greet

Man Makes Living Saying Worn Out
Rugs From Dentists.

There Is at least one man in New
York who makes his living by buying
worn out rugs from dental Offices

II never heard Of business Of this
nature until last month, altho have
been in the dentistry for twenty years
But last month q friend of mine

"'Tll have to throw this old rug

Throw it away? What will you do

asked.
"'sell it?' said I. There's no one
who would give me anything for that

JUNIOR MEMBER.
CALLS FOR FEDERAL TESTING
AND INSPECTION OF LINES
Professor Kennedy Discusses Bill and
Declares Enactment Prior 70 Last
Year Would Have Saved Iowa 6sr-
m.r. From s1s,ooob BOO to $4,000, IT.
Transpertation Clause Important.

Ames. Feb. 10, 1s14.-Editor Times
Republican: enclose a copy of a bill
introduced by Senator Kenyon in the
United States senate Feb. 2. 1914,
which hope you will be able to give
some space in the columns of your
valuable paper. This bill was prepared
and introduced by Senator Kenyon at
the request Of the Iowa Swine Breed
ers' Association. The swine breeders
went on record as favoring federal and
state testing Of all hog cholera serum
and virus manufactured and sold by
commercial serum plants. This bill, if
passed, will insure the desired federal
testing and inspection Of serum and
virus made and sold by serum plants
doing an interstate business. 1t is es-
timated that about ninety per cent of
the commercial serNu,.used In Iowa
would come under this ruling.
In my Judgment, there is no more i'm
portant measure from farmers
standpoint up for the consideration of
the second session Of the Sixty third
congress. II such bill had been in
troduced and become law a year
ago. I believe it would have saved the
farmers Of Iowa from $15,000,000 to
$20,000,0O0 by the reduction of the hog
cholera losses during the year 1913.
1t would have helped in the following
ways:
One: It would have standardized
serum and virus. something which is
absolutely necessary at this time. Just
so long as there is such a wide varia-
ffAy, n - nf Nj
as has prevailed during the past two
years, there will be lack of conf
dence on the part of a great many
farmers concerning the efficiency of the
serum treatment Of hogs against
cholers.
Two: It would have made it posi-
BILE for the farmers to have distinguish
ed between real serum and the many
fakes or so-called serums and hog
cholera cures that have been so gen.
orally peddled from farm to farm by
agents. many of whom were carrying
the disease from infected herds to
healthy herds.
Three: It would have prevented
many Of the outbreaks of hog cholera
caused by the use of a poor grade of
serum with good virus where the SIM
ultaneous treatment was used.
Four: The fact that the serum and
virus would have been tested by gov
eminent employees would have insured
It's Usefulness and greatly enlarged the
demand for the same. thus materially
ourtailing the ravages of the'disease.
assure you that anything that you
may be able to do in bringing the
merits Of this bill to the attention of
your readers and aiding in the pass
age Of this measure will be appreciated
by the farmers of Iowa and adjoining
states. I am.
Very truly yours.
