....aoe From John n. Bernhard,
Sets Day for Landing of Boat
Enroute From New
Orleans.
WILL WIRE EXACT HOUR
rime of Arrival viii be Noted When
the Boat Leaves Hannibal
and keoIeuk Can Then
Be Ready.

Word was received by Manager
rowne of the Industrial Association
today that Steel Barge No. s, on its
vay from New Orleans to st. Paul
will land at Keokuk Wednesday
morning. The barge left st. Louis
saturday afternoon and is making
four miles an hour against the cur
rent in the river.
The exact hour Of arrival at Keo-
kuk will be wired from Hannibal, &C
/ cording to this message which has
heen received from John H. Bern
hard, head OF the Inland Navigation
hureau, and inventor of the barge. Mr..
Bernhard is with the boat and will
be on the barge when it reaches
Keokuk.
According to advices received here,
the barge was two days at Alton ow-
ing to delays in unloading cargo
consigned there.
Plans for meeting the steel barge
have already been made by the In
dustrial association and the city.
The nembers Of the reception COM
mittee for both the association and
the city have been appointed. They
will hold themselves in readiness for
announcements from the association
as to the time Of arrival Of the steel
barge.
The plans are for the Keokuk re-
ception committee to meet Mr.. Bern
hard and his barge when it docks at
the local wharf The committee will
remain on the barge while it passes
through the lock and then will debark
above the lock at the sea wall.
Interest in the coming of the barge
is almost as keen as that displayed
in '95 when the torpedo boat Ericsson
came down the river from Dubuque.
1t Is planned, now that Capt. Decker
and some OF the members OF the re-
ception committee will take the Vivi-
anne III and go down the river to
Warsaw and meet the barge there,
escorting 1t to Keokuk.
A letter was received from Guy H.
Donaldson, transportation manager OF
the Inland Bureau asking if there
would be any freight from Keokuk for
st. Paul. The rates are rs percent OF
rail charges.

(These articles are based on ques-
lions asked by mothers who have
turned to the Woman's Home Compan-
ion or assistance in the difficult and
delicate task of rearing their babies.
Each question presented and answer
ed here was asked not by one but by
many mothers. They represent the
general questions and problems Of the
average mother. Mrs. Richardson Is
entirely willing to answer personally
any further questions that readers
may wish to send herr
1.-What is pastuerized milk?
Pastuerized milk is fresh cows milk,
heated to 155 or 100 degrees FIR. and
kept at that temperature thirty min
utes. 1t is prescribed when the moth
er is not sure Of the source of milk
fed her baby. 1t will make fresh milk
safer. 1t will not freshen stale, old
milk It should not be kept more than
"a hours.
2.-How can pastuerize milk at
home
Fill bottles with milk, cork with
sterile absorbent cotton, set in pail
with boiling water up to the top OF
the bottles, cover tightly and stand
aside for so or As minutes. Cool the
bottles rapidly and stand on ice.
3.-Should milk be boiled in summer?
Not unless your doctor orders it.
Clean milk does not require boiling.
Regular feelings of boiled milk may
cause scurvy. If your baby is sub
ject to attacks of diarrhoea, the doc
tor will order boiled milk, with tea
spoonful or two of strained orange
juice between feelings.
4.-What shall feed my baby while
travelling?
If possible, avoid travelling with a
bottle-fed baby. But If it is neces-
sary and the journey is short, buy a
wicker-covered ice box made for trav.
cling purposes. Prepare and pack
the milk as in your refrigerator at
home. For long Journey, supply I'M
sweetened condensed milk in small
cans. Remember that condensed milk
spoils when open; also that 1t Is
twice as strong as plain or whole milk,
and must be diluted accordingly. If
condenseG milk is fed the baby for
any length of time, give strained
orange juice between feelings, to
supply fresh element.

PRIMARY A FARCE.

The new primary law has been tried
out now for four years. At the last
session of the Legislature this law was
amended in some respects, which
made it worse, if anything, than it was
two years ago The vote was light all
over the State Republicans register
ed as Democrats in large numbers in
Reno for the purpose of nominating
an Assemblyman the Democrats did
not want Elsewhere in the State they
did the same thing to help nominate
Boyle for Governor. In some cases
good men have been selected, but in

tons of the under element Especl-
ally is this the case in the southern
part of the State There is no end to

at primary election as now conduct
ed. The people of the State should
line up in the different counties for
the Assembly ticket, or candidates,
who will abolish this law at the com

thing is an abortion 1t costs the
State and candidates lot of money,
and there is no chance for the best
man to win against combinations that
can be put up against him. Let's get
back to the old way of doing business;

BY WHAT RIGHT ?

All of the nations at war in Europe
have served notice on Wilson and
Bryan that they will oppose the es-
adjustment of merchant marine by
the United States if ships from other
countries, which are now tied up in
American harbors, are purchased by
this government for the marine ser
vice. To be sure England, France and
Germany would not like to see Uncle
Sam establish a merchant marine,
which would interfere with their car
rying trade with South America and
other markets. If this government
cannot purchase these foreign ships
we cannot, possibly, establish lasting
trade relations with other countries
which desire our products and manu-
features, before the war is over. Then
the other governments, which subsi-
die their shipping business, would
beat us 10 it, We cannot see why it
would be wrong to purchase English,
German or French vessels which can
be of no service to their own countries
during the war If we have to wait to
build vessels for this purpose the war
may be over before we have a fleet
large enough for all purposes. This
European war was caused by the
greed of the different foreign coun
tries for the trade of their manufac
lures and for supremacy on these
lines. Johnny Bull should remember
that It was during our civil war that
he took advantage of our condition
to establish the English merchant ma
rine that has practically kept Ameri-
can vessele off the high seas ever
since.
