Streets Are Dangerous Play
grounds

Papers everywhere are full OF
warnings to parents against per
mitting their children to play on
the street. Cities where statistics
are kept shcw III ever instance that
the number Of automobile accidents
increase every year. Public streets
are being transformed into tho
roughfares dangerous as failroad
right -of-way; the time has come
when they must be abandoned as
playground.
The street is at best very poor
place for children to play and now
that the automobile is here TO stay,
and hundreds of them are on our
streets daily, we must take cogniz-
ance of the added danger to the
little ones and use greater diligence
to keep them out of the danger.
The admonition which makes u'
careful when crossing the railroad
tracks must be repeated with refer
ence to the street.

100000 Hogs Lost.

Farm and Fireside, the national
farm paper published at Springfield,
Ohio, is conducting great campaign
of education on the subject of hog
cholera, for the purpose of inform
ing farmers and helping them to re-
duce their losses from this dread di-
sease. According to ID. S. Burch, as
sociate editor of Farm and Fireside,
the man who is writing the articles,
1000, 200 hogs died in the United
States from hog cholera in 1913. The
figures are almost beyond compre-
henson. You can get an idea Of the
loss of thinking in terms of sausage.
If all the hogs that died of cholera in
1913 had been made into Bologna
sausage, weighing one pound per
foot, that sausage linked end to end
would have gone around the earth
at the equator six times. Another way
10 state the loss follows Forty
pounds of meat for every family in
the United States was the loss from
hog cholera in 1913.

BILLS RELATING TO CITIES AND
TOWNS.
Representatives League of Munich.
palities Meet in Des Moines.
Will Draft New
Measures.

Des Moines, Ia, Feb. 22.-Mayol
Glasgow of Washington, Mayor Muel
Ter of Davenport, Mayor Smith OF
Sioux City, Frank Pierce of Marshall
town, and others representing the
Iowa League of Municipalities are
here to hold session today and fix up
various bills of interest to cities and
towns. There are a great many of
these bills now pending and they
desire to go over all of them and see
what are good. A tentative draft of
measure for the home rule idea
has been framed up by the attorney
general as follows.
Cities and towns under whatever
form of charter they may now be op-
Grating, or may hereafter operate,
are hereby granted authority to exer-
else all powers of local self-govern-
ment, subject to such specific restric-
lions as to particular powers as may
be established by law. No enumer-
alton of powers in any law shall oper-
ate to restrict this general gran of
power or to exclude other powers
in this grant. TIL
specifications in any law of the man
ner in which any power included in
this general grant shall be exercised,
shall be construed only as fixing the
manner in which such power shall
be exercised, and not as excluding
the exercise of the powers as to which
there is no such specifications. in The
absence of any provision of law de-
|termining by whom and in what man
ner, or subject to what conditions
and power granted by this section
shall be exercised. the legislative
body of any city or town shall have
power by ordinance to determine by
whom and in what manner, and sub
ject to what conditions said power
shall be exercised"
Another clause proposed is as fol-
lows:
''Cities and towns shall have au.
thority to enact and enforce, within
their limits, such local police, sani-
tary and other similar regulations as
are not in conflict with general laws;
and no such regulation shall, by rea-
son of any requirement wherein, in
addition to those fixed by any law,
be deemed in conflict with such law,
unless cities and towns shall have
been specifically denied the right to
enact regulations upon the subject
covered by such law
The joint banking and agricultnI-
|al committees held a session yester-
day and heard Hon. ID. p. Hogan, o.
Cass county, on the arguments in ia
vor of the bill to permit of creation
of land mortgage banks in Iowa. He
presented a mass of facts and fig
ures relating to the subject gathered,
in part, from his trip to Europe rs
an Iowa commissioner to study the
subject. The presentation made
very favorable impression on the
members of the committees.

Under direction of the Minnesota
state immigration commission form
er Congressman Frank NJ. Eddy is
making tour of Iowa, taking the
place of the lectures and special ex-
hibit car sent out in former years to
show prospective settlers the advan-
tages of farming in Minnesota. Rail-

His aim is to reach the communities
where there is large percentage OF

A PECULIAR CASE.
Authorities in Lyon County Have a
Pulling Problem.

Des. Moines, Ia, Feb. 22.-In case
OF failure to convict in certain case
a peculiar situation may arise in con.
nection with young man under &C
cusation in Lyon county.
The defendant was arrested while
in the United States navy at San
Francisco. Requisition was honored
to bring him back to Iowa only when
the requisition clerk in the COVER
nor's Office had certified that there
is money on deposit sufficient so that
in case of failure to convict the man
can be sent back to San Francisco to
Renter the navy. This is always re-
quired when a man is taken out of
the navy.
Now what is worrying the officials,
is, what will happen il there is an ac-
quittal? 1t is true an officer might
be started to San Francisco with the
man, but suppose he got off the train
in Nebraska or Utah and refused to
go further? The officer could do
nothing. Or he might even refuse
to leave Iowa and hire a lawyer to
make fight If acquitted he would
no longer be under arrest. The state
has never had to handle case of,
that kind and it is not clear just
what will happen when it is called
upon to handle such a case.

MARCH.

We used to say that if March came
in like lion it would go out like a
lamb.
Revised version: If March ap-
proaches like suffragette it will die
as calmly as the husband of one.
But, taking her by and large,
March is some month. She is just
like wild, gleeful girl, scampering
hither and yon with no one even
imagining what to expect of her
next. Her changing skies, her
warmth and cold, will most of us
with grippe enfold. She tantalizes
with her smiles and from our win
ter clothes beguiles us til we take
them off, and then she makes us hike
'em on again. She bids the sleeping
daisies come and bask beneath her
soothing sun, but scarcely have they
left their beds until, with frost, she
lnips their heads.
Among important events credited
to the month was the invention of
the circular saw, in 1880, since which
time the number of fingers have de-
creased prorata with the increase OF
population. A circular saw probably
is as reckless and inconsiderate ap-
paratus as was ever placed before a
trusting workman. Feed anything
into it and it will wade through with
song of wild delight They seem.

err worthwhile event credited to
March. Uncle Sam bought Alaska
for paltry seven million dollars,
ard now anyone can go up there and
kick that much gold out of any

to going to Alaska to accumulate
wealth is that you cannot bring 1t
back with you. 1t costs more gold
than any man can carry to buy a
ticket back to the United States
And. since there are no movies or
baseball games in Alaska, one can
not spend his wealth while abiding

TO REGULATE AUTOS SPEED
Would Make a 2J-mile Limit and

From Automobiles.

Representative Baughman, of Van
Buren, county, proposes that automo-

limitations. The present law pro-
vides that automobiles shall not run
at a rate of speed greater than an
average of 20 miles an hour That
word average is the joker in the

sTORK PAYS VISIT ON TRAIN.
Nebraska Woman Gives Birth t.
Child on Burlington Train.

Osceola, Ia, Feb. 22.-Mrs. Nellie
Parker, travelling from McCook.
Neb., to Pleasanton, Ind, gave birth
to baby girl On Burlington passen-
ger train No. as it stood at the sta
ton here Friday. The train was held
half an hour or longer to await mat
tiers. Mrs. Parker had friends at
Charlton and expected to leave the
train there and go to them, but ma
ture planned otherwise.
She had consulted with the conduc-
tor and when she was reminded OF
the impending visit of the stork the
trainmen and the rest of the crew
were in flutter and were scarcely
able to decide upon plan of action.
But DIR. Sells, the company physician
of Osceola, was summoned, and he
made Mrs. Parker as comfortable as
possible in one of the Pullmans and
after the baby had arrived and 1t was
possible to do so mother and babe
were taken to a local hotel where
they have since been given every care
and comfort. The baby clothes, pre-
pared by Mrs. Parker. had gone on
in her trunks but the women of the
town soon supplied the deficiency.
Mrs. Parker was accompanied by
five other children. Their father had
gone on ahead of the family and was
caught at South Bend, Ind, by. d
wire. He returned to Chicago and
there met the children who were TAX
en- on by the train crew.

OUT MEAT WHEN
KIDNEYS BOTHER
Take glass Of Salts before breakfast
if your Back hurts or Bladder
is troubling you.

No man or woman who eats meat
regularly can make a mistake by
flushing the kidneys occasionally, says
we'll known authority. Meat forms
uric acid which excites the kidneys,
they become over-worked from the
strain, get sluggish and fail to filter
the waste and poisons from the blood.
then we get sick Nearly all rheu-
matism, headaches, liver trouble ner-
vousness, dizziness. sleeplessness and
urinary disorders come from sluggish
kidneys.
The moment you feel a dull ache in
the kidneys or your back hurts or if
the urine is cloudy offensive. full of
sediment, irregular of passage or at
tended by a sensation of scalding, stop
eating meat and get about four ounces
of Jad Salts from any pharmacy; take
tablespoonful in a glass of water
before breakfast and in few days
your kidneys will act fine This ia
nous salts is made from the acid of
grapes and lemon uice, combined with
lithia, and has been used for genera
tons to flush and stimulate the kid
neys also to neutralize the acids in
urine so it no longer causes irrita-
ton, thus ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot
injure; makes a. delightful effervescent
lithia- water drink which everyone
should take now and then to keep the
kidneys clean and active and the
blood pure, thereby avoiding serious
kidney complications. (Adv)

AN OLD RECIPE
TO DARKEN HAIR
Common garden Sage and Sulphur
makes streaked, faded or gray
hair dark and glossy at once.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur. properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color ana
lustre to the hair when faded, streak
ed or gray; also ends dandruff, Itch
ing scalp and stops falling hair. Years
ago the only way to get this mixture
was to make it at home, which is
mussy and troublesome.
Nowadays we simply ask at any
drug store fol. "Wyeth's Sage and
sulphur Compound" You will get a
large bottle for about so cents. Every
body uses this old, famous recipe, be-
cause no one can possibly tell that
you darkeued your hair, as it does it
so naturally and evenly You dampen
a sponge or soft brush with it and
draw it through your hair, taking one
small strand at time by morning
the gray hair disappears. and after
another application or two. your hair
becomes beautifully dark thick and
glossy and you look years younger
