BoulIion Cubes.

WASHINGTON Jan. "a cup OF
high priced salt water, nicely favored
and colored, is about all the consumer
most of the 'tbouillion cubes on the
market, according to department of ag-
rfcultural experts. These cubes fall
far snort of being the concentrated
meat essence they are supposed to be,
many consisting of more than one-half
ordinary table salt. Sometimes the
production is as high as rs per cent
salt. Prices for this luxury range from
ten to twenty cents an ounce, purchas-
ers practically buying salt at an exorbi-
tant price. A bulletin has just been
issue by the department as warning
to the buyers OF this compressed
food" Unfortunately prosecutions
cannot be institute. officials say, as
no Misrepresentation Is made of the
contents OF the cubes, and the pure
food law is not violated. In the very
highest grade OF cubes" only an
eighth of an ounce Of meat extract is
obtained for ten cents. Home made
meat and vegetable soup contains
more than four times this amount of
nourishment. Meat extract ranges
from eight to twenty-eight per cent in
this compressed form Of food, and the
vegetable extract, useful only as fla
yoring. from three to thirty per cent.
The bouillion made from these ex-
tracts is entirely harmless, pure food"
officials declare, but 1t is also practt-
cally worthless as food.

EXPRESS COMPANIES
IN FOR A FIGHT
Decide to Compete With Uncle Sam
and Make Liberal Reductions
on Small Packages.

Uncle Sam will learn what It means
to compete with powerful corporation
when the new express rates for small
packages go into effect on Feb. 1, Gays
the Des Moines Tribune.
The express companies expect to
give the government the time OF its
life in the fight to recover the bust
ness which they lost through the par
Gel post during the holidays. On
some business the new rates OF the
express companies will cut far under
the postal rates. The new express
rates are in conformity with the order
OF the Interstate commerce commits
sion and show discount of from is
to so per cent over the old tariffs.
The new rates are based on the
charge for 100 pounds plus terminal
charge of 20 cents. The rate to Nil
waukee is 81 per hundred. From this
charge the terminal charge Of 20 cents
is deducted making $3.50 the basis of
charge for small packages. Ten
pounds shipped to Milwaukee would
therefore cost Is cents plus 30 cents
for terminal charges or 80 cents. One
pound won1d cost % cents.
A ten pound package out of New
York will cost 81 cents the present
express charge being 81. The charge
for similar package by parcel post
is 62 cents without insurance. The
express package up to so pounds is
insured without extra charge.
a twenty pound package out OF
New York under the present express
rates costs $1.30. The new express
rate will be 50 cents. The parcel
post rate is $1.22. A ten pound
package under the old express rate
to Chicago is so cents; under the new
rate 1t will be So cents after Feb. i.
The parcel post rate to Chicago on
ten pound package is "a cents. On
a twenty pound package, however, the
express rate would be but So cents I'M.
der the new rate. To Los Angeles
the present express rate on ten pounds
Is $l.4O. The new rate will be s1.01.
The parcel post rate, $1.23.
The rate on food stuffs by express
will be still less.

without q written order and the order
would be honored only when present
ed by member OF the immediate
family OF the pensioner.
There was nothing left for the de.
partment to do except to hold the
voucher until the man was we'll
enough to receive It. Had his illness
continued so that he would have
been unable to receive the voucher,
the conditions would be endorsed
across the face OF the envelope and
the voucher would be returned to the
pension department. at Washington.

The fact that pension vouchers
cannot be forwarded will occasion
surprise among the people who re-
ceive pensions. It has been the opin-
ion Of the majority of people that all
mail could be forwarded, but ths re.
cent passage of the new pension laws
have changed things around.

NOTABLE CHANGE
IN PENSION Law
Veterans Must Receive Vouchers In
Person Now According to
Ruling Of the De
partment.
NOT TO BE FORWARDED
Forblds Sending Money on BY Mali
Guardians Cannot Act for
Those Receiving
Benefits.

Some OF the veterans Of the civil
war who have bean receiving pensions
and who were out Of town the last
few times the pensions were due, ara
wondering what was the reason they
did not get their money from the
government. This is easily explained
by stating that the postoffice regula-
tons do not permit of the forward.
ing of pensions, nor do they allow a
mail carrier to deliver the pensions
to anyone outside of the immediate
family of the pensioner and then only
on written order from the veteran,
This is comparatively new law
having been in effect only about a year.
Ths ruling has caused considerable
worry and anxiety among the people
who depend on their pensions to help
meet their expenses. The law has
never been explained thoroughly to
the public and on that account very
few of those who received pensions
are aware of its existence.
An unusual case arose In Burlington
short time ago. The incident was
peculiar, but is liable to arise again
at any time and should be explained.
One of the veterans OF ths civil
war who had been receiving a PEN
sion for number of years was in
one OF the local hospitals AMI his
mind was declared to be unsound. A
guardian was appointed to take care
OF the affairs OF the aged man. Every
process of law was gone through with
to make the guardianship legal one
and all were Of the opinion that the
guardian was empowered to act as
he saw fit in any matter concerning
his ward and to receive any mon sy
due him.
Shortly after the veteran was de-
clared of unsound mind and the guar
dian was appointed, his regular quar-
terly allowance arrived. The guar
dian knew that the monsy was due
and when he learned that the vouch-
er was in the local postofice he went
there to collect it. He was informed
that he could not get thu voucher
and that no one else, except the man

DECLARES BIBLE
TO Be GREATEST
Rev. Jacob Nuesch Calls Scriptures
ssost Important Book in the
Life Of Chris
tan.
GOD REVEALS HIMSELF
Bible is Also Measurement For Ones
Inner Life and Thought
the Speaker
Believes.

That the Bible is the most import
ant book we have, was the declaration
of the Rev jacob Nuesch, pastor Of
st. Paul's German Evangelical church
last night in his address on "The
Bible, It's Place in Christian Life" at
the week Of prayer services.
Rev. Mr.. Nuesch declared that the
Bible furnished us true measure
ment for ourselves. He called 1t a
book for the pastor as well as the
congregation, and said that through
the means of the Bible, God had re-
vealed Himself to people.
The most important book we have
Is the Bible, 1t is the most important
book Of the christian life. The Bible
is human for God used human writers
to compile the book. 1t is our truest
and best book. Heaven and earth may
pass away but the word OF God will
stand"
The reason for the Bible being such
an important book is because in 1t
God reveales Himself, the Rev. Mr..
Nuesch said
Through this book He has reveal
ed Himself at all times to people
Through this book one knows the
Father, omnipresent, omniscent, wise,
good and merciful. Through this
book we learn to know God as the
creator of all things. We know Him
as our Father, our God, our saviour,
and our redeemer.''
Rev. Mr.. Nuesch compared the
Eible to mirror, in that it reflects
our inner life and by reading the Bible
we are conscious of our sinss.
The scripture lesson was read by
the Rev. DR.. u. B. Newcomb, pastor OF
the Westminster Presbyterian church.
DR. Newcomb also lead in prayer.
The final evening meeting will be
held tonight Tomorrow afternoon
there will be a union missionary meet
Ing. The Rev. R. ". Lilley will speak
tonight, and DR.. Newcomb will speak
at the missionary society meeting.

land Is making second distribution
OF the credit blanks, and has ordered
100000 of than printed to supplement

one month from the time the pan
was started Mr.. Mcfarland states
that 80 out of the 176 schools of the
county are now giving this credit and
that new ones are adopting thu plan
each week.
The teachers say the system has
greatly aided their work. said the
superintendent, land thu parents are
delighted with 1t. Instances have
come to our attention where children
who could hardly be compelled to d,
any work before now Gag srly perform
the tasks around their homes and
take the credits to school to get the
monthly half holiday that is given for
perfect racords. Several schools have
reported that not pupil was tardy
or absent during the month";
The system allows one or two cred
its for certain listed home tasks per.
formed on school days. The perfect
months record consists of five such
tasks performed every day, making
70 for each school week and 100 for
each month. In conjunction with the
work which must be done cheerfully.
not under compulsion, the pupil NUT
be at gchool every day and never be
tardy. Parents fill out the blanks nc.
cording to the excellence OF the

At the end Of the term ten credits
are given on examination so that a
pupil who has done the outside work
ana has never been tardy Or absent
VIII have few credits to make IN
any deficiency in examinations.
Another feature that Mr.. Mcfarland
is now extending is the giving OF
diplomas to each perfect pupil max
ing a perfect years record. He saws
that 1000 such diplomas will have to
be Issued IL the interest continues.

 with a concentration of purpose
 which rose superior to an outside
