VACATION HINTS.

The vacation season is at hand and
thousands Of people in Chicago are
now making plans as to when and
now they will spend their summer
outings.
FOR several years the Department
Of Health has offered advice and sug-
gestiOns, with few warnings thrown
in for good measure, concerning sum-
mer vacation dangers. We have tried
to make it clear that just because a
summer resort is a pretty place, pic
turesque and all that it does not fol-
low that it is a safe place. Some such
places get their supply of drinking
water from shallow wells 'on the
shores of lakes, the waters of which
are polluted with sewage and other
dangerous fifth. Some of these are
not protected against flies or mos
quitOes, nor are the sanitary condi-
tions anywhere near what they ought
to be. Fortunately however, such
places are not so numerous as they
were a few years ago; people now
have have more health knowledge
than they had then. They know about
the dangers of filthy waters or i'm
properly constructed outdoor toilets.
They know, too, about the house fly
and that these dangerous little pests
carry disease and death wherever they
go. Hence fly swatters and fly
screens.
So we take it that by this time most
Chicago people when considering
where they shall go for the summer,
will give as much attention to the
sanitary attractions a place has to
offer as they do to its boating and
fishing advantages OF to the charm
of its scenic beauties.
Then along with the vacation sea-
son, we include the picnic and outing
dangers. Within a few hours ride Of
Chicago are many picnic grounds
where thousands Of Chicago people
90 every day during the summer
months. Some of these places are
pretty wen cared for and kept in fairly
good sanitary condition. Some Of
them are both dirty and dangerous
and should be avoided.
So in choosing the place for your
summer vacation or your picnic party,
look before you leap. Be sure that
they are clean and sanitary that the
water supply is safe, and that you
will run no more risk of contracting
some disease due to fifth than you
would right here at home, where the
water is safe and the fly swatter is
abroad in the land
If you have reason to suspect that
the water where you may be, is dan
gerous or polluted, here is a way
whereby it may be made safe to use:
Dissolve a teaspoonfuI of chloride
Of lime in a cupful Of water, making
sure that all Jumps are thoroughly
broken up. Then add three more
cups Of water, stir well and let stand
a few seconds so that any solid par.
ticles may settle to bottom Keep this
purifying mixture in q tightly stopped
Mason jar; it will be good for four OF
five days. Add one teaspoonful Of
this milky-looking solution to each
two gallons of water and stir thor.
oughly. Now let the two gallons Of
water stand ten minutes, after which
it win be ready for drinking purposes.
The treated water viii be without
taste or odor. Store it in clean stop
pered bottles in q cool place As
chloride Of lime can be obtained at
any drug store, there should be no
need for any one using water that is
suspected Of being contaminated or
dangerous.

GREAT STATE Is IOWA
SAYS CHICAGO TRAVELLER


LANES E. Poole in Livestock world.l
II you desire to see the fair face OF
the greatest agricultural state In this
union Of incompatible commonwealth

scape.
Iowa is the greatest rectangular
piece of fertile soil on the face Of this
mundane sphere. In one respect 1t
enjoys unique distinction; 1t is all good.
Last year Iowa's field crops were
s37.000.00O more than in 1912. The value
Of its own crop exceeded that of the
previous year by over $42.000,000. its
aggregate value on a 59-cent-per-
bushel basis being &1s4,311,ooo.
In addition it raised oats to tho value
of $56,049000 on a 34-cent basis; spring
wheat $4,132, 900 on 75-cent basis and
winter wheat $9,0OO,OOO, on a 77-cent
basis.
In addition 1t grew $4.50o.0oo worth
Of barley, $4,000 worth Of rye. $4,000

ceptible Of Improvement in the same
manner.
Iowa fattens more cattle, raises more
hogs than any other state in the
union. With the exception of Colorado
1t fattens more sheep and lambs than
any other on grain.
Some people have left Iowa, lured
by the siren song of the exploiter OF
far away pastures. but they are COM
ing back by the hundred thousand.
After a trial elsewhere many are
brought to a realization that Iowa is
good place to live.
Iowa has been a hungry purchaser
OF stock cattle at Chicago. Kansas City.
Omaha and Sioux City for year
past. Iowa prefers northern bred cattle,
but being unable to get them has
taken the other horn of the dilemma.
1t has been buying anything capable
OF putting on gain in the same manner
that packers have been taking any
thing that will bleed at the stock yards.
During the drouth last summer
when Kansas City was glutted with
thin cattle out of parched southwest
eiil pastures iowa was largely reSpCnS-
ible in saving the day for the drouth
sufferers. 1t bought cattle freely in
an effort to replenish deficiency. Dur
ing the drouth Iowa was q spot on the
map favored by nature. Had it been
otherwise graziers in the southwest
would have encountered financial dis
aster.
Iowa has stepped into the front
rank as u feeder of western sheep. A
Few years ago Minnesota. by reason
OF cheap elevator screenings held that
distinction. then Michigan took 1t and
now the scepter of supremacy has
been passed across the Mississippi river
to Iowa. With the single exception OF
Colorado. Iowa finishes more western
sheep and lambs than any other state
in the union.

in the golden sunlight OF a winter day.

veritable inspiration. Compared with
the smiling face of the Hawkeye state
the boasted Nile valley is a mere
pocket.

SHOOTS BROTHER BY MISTAKE
Young Man Climbs Tree to Look a
Fire and Is Taken For Prowier.

Special to Times Republican
Anamosa, Jan. 15.--John c. German,
a son Of Mike German, who lives on a
farm a mile out of town, received a
shot gun charge in his left leg Tues
day night about 6 o'clock. The young
man had climbed a tree near the house
trying to discover what seemed to be
a fire some distance away. A brother
returning from the barn discovered
him in the tree but not recognizing
him, fastened to the house and came
back with shotgun which he fired at
the brother in the tree. The charge took
effect in his leg and the result was an
ugly wound which may cost the young
fellow his leg. The young mans uncle
physician of Anamosa, was sum-
moned and fastened at once to the
farm and administered such aid as
was possible.
