Do You Read Labels?

Domestic science teachers and
food authorities are urging the
housewife to carefully read the
labels on all food articles.
The laws of most States compel
food manufacturers 70 print the
ingredients of their products
on the label, and this enables
consumers to dist inguish health
full foods from those which may be
deleterious.
High-grade baking powders are
made of pure cream of tartar,
derived from grapes. Royal Bak- 3
ing Powder is type of the highest
grade. 1t is healthful beyond
doubt and the safest and best
to use.
The low-grade baking powders
are made from alum, a mineral
acid salt, or phosphate of lime.
Consumers can learn the char
acter Of the baking powder by
referring to the label, which
must state whether the cont ents
include cream of tartar, alum OF
phosphate.

giving the last address: Some REQ
pie in Keokuk That Ought to Have an
Operation" The discussion will in

In the morning, Mr.. B. A. Shuman.
who so delighted the large group of
men at the Y. NJ. C. A. with his mas
terful address on South America, will
speak again on a subject of that coun-
try. Mr.. Shuman has a statesman
like mind and is considered an au-
thority on questions pertaining to
South America; whose eyes have
been turning to the United States
since the European markets have
been INSTRUCTED. II is with the South
America OF today and tomorrow
that Mr.. Shuman deals.

MANEUVERS ARE NOT
FAVORED BY LOGAN
Iowa Military Experts Fear Moral
Effect on European Countries
~ Such an ExhIbitIon

Iowa Military Experts Fear Moral
Effect on European Countries
Of such an Exhibition.
Military men of Iowa do not hook
with favor on any demonstration on
the part OF this country in the way Of
maneuvers to test the general prepar-
edness Of the nation for war. An agf-
tation has been started in New YORK
city for series OF maneuvers which
would determine the possibility Of an
invading force capturing the metropo-
lis. The expense Of such an undertake
ing is being Investigated by Secretary
of War Garrison with view OF flnd-
ing out whether sufficient funds arc
available for the purpose.
The plan in brief Is as follows:
The United States receives a warn
ing that an enemy's fleet is about to
begin an attack on the Panama ca1-
al. The principal vessels of the At
lantic fleet will be dispatched to offer
resistance. In the meantime a feet of
enemy's ships will appear of Long
Island sound with transports carry
ing troops. The alien fleet will then
attempt to break down the New York
harbor defense and an attempt will
then be made to land troops.
This attack would be met, accord
ing to present plans. by bringing to
the defense national guard troops
from Rhode Island, Connecticut. New
Jersey and other seaboard states.
General Logan was quoted In Dies
Moines as saying that European ma
tons would construe any such MILL
tary maneuvers on the part of our
government as hostile act. Instead
OF spending a large sum to carry on
any such highly theoretical problem
It would be better to spend II in per
manent improvements OF our coast
defense.
The war department has taken
some precautions against any state
ments being made by officers of the
regular army In regard to the promo
sition. Army officers In the state
have received an order to make no
statement as to whether or not this
country Is prepared for war or OF the

to the fact that during the past year
the secretary of the United Charities,
who has served as an officer in the
city health department. has been in
close personal touch with FIVE hundred
and fifteen families, visiting their
homes a total of seventeen hundred
and twenty-five times. 1t is to be
noted that this group of families un-
der the care of the United Charities,
because of their unsatisfactory living
conditions are largely the source and
breeding spots OF contagion, which
may, If not promptly reported and
cared for, produce a city wide cpl
demic In this connection it is a fact
to be considered that all OF the epi-
denies in our city Of general char
acter have started below Main street
IN the homes of families OF the char
acter visited by the secretary Of the
United Charities. We believe that the
efficient secretary of the United Char
tiles has promptly reported many
cases of CONTAGIOUS diseases. which
were later attended to by physicians
and that he has also come il contact
with and reported many other men,
aces to health. such as unsanitary
closets, garbage cans and manure
boxes. Beside this, his duties as sec
reteary of the United Charities has
caused him to correct many causes
of contagion which are not within the
province of correction by the health
department. as no laws govern such
cases. We refer particularly to con-
ditions of over-crowding and bad ven
tilation in homes and general condi-
tons OF bad housing
Value Of Charities to City.

OF the services OF the secretary Of the
United Charities as valuable to the
city as health officer. we would
urge your honorable body also to con-
slider the value of the United Chart
ties an an asset to TIE city n de-
treasing it's expenditures, not alone
through the decrease of epidemics OF
conta gious diseases, which fall under
the care of the officer of the health
department, but in it's sphere OF work
relating to the dependent class and
the prevention of fraudulent prac-
tees on the part OF those inclined to
live without working. These efforts
OF the United Charities to restore the
dependent to independence and the
alienation OF poverty aids in reduc-
ing the criminal class and those hav-
ing the tendency to become criminals,
and thus saves the city administra-
ton much money IN the administra-
ton of it's police department.
