Give Your Children Meat in
Moderate Quantities
Serve Other Nutri-
tious Foods.

Children should be given meat only
in moderate quantities. In the first
place. it is overheating when eaten
to excess, it taxes the digestion very
severely and, from an economic stand
point, there are many other sfoodstuffs
that are just as nutritious.
Writing on spaghetti and allied
products. DR.. Hutchinson, one of the
worlds foremost dietitians, says that
they are absorbed almost in their en-
tirety."
This means that practically every
morsel Of Faust Spaghettivwhich is
made from Durum wheat, cereal ex-
tremely rich in gluten-goes to en-
rich the blood and build up the body.
Faust Spaghetti is very easy to digest
and easy to prepare. And the many
ways 1t can be prepared to tease the
palate is truly surprising. Large
packages 10c. Serve it often, espe-
cially to the children.

PUMPING STATION
PETITION FILED
At Hearing Yesterday at Fort Madi-
son, Three Petition Slgners
Wanted Names withdrawn.

The Gate City yesterday told OF the
postponement of the action on the
Green Bay drainage district by the
supervisors. 1t seems that there IL
considerable doubt as to the pumping
station proposition. The following 1s
from the Democrat concerning this
phase of the matter:
At the first hearing on the drainage
matter the question of the establish
ment of a pumpQg station without q
petition for such was raised It was
urged that such petition, distinct
from the petition for a drainage dis
trict should be secured before the en-
tire improvement plan could be or
dered. To obviate this technicality
the original petitioners, through At
torney Geo. B. Stewart, fled a sepa-
rate petition, signed by twelve names,
asking for the establishment of the
pumping station. After this petition
was fled with the auditor and before
it came on for hearing today. three of
the twelve signers made strenuous ef-
forts to have their names withdrawn.
They not only sent written objections,
but appeared personally; 1t was ruled,
however, that once the names were
attached to the petition they could not
be withdrawn.

by hardening of the arteries. The

Mrs. Crum passed away at s

of her daughter, Mrs. Faith Crum-

SEARCH WARRANT
REVEALS MONEY
". F. Fulton, Sales Manager, Found
With Marked Money Upon
His Person.

Ed. McFarlane faced rather try
Ing situation Saturday, when he be-
came convinced by actual proof that
his sales manager, w. F. Fulton, of
the Thompson Sales Managing COM
pany, was neglecting to place all of
the money taken in by him in the
cash register, but was putting some
OF 1t into his pockets. Accordingly
Mr.. McFarlane got out search war
rant and Sheriff Nelson took the
man into custody at o'clock in the
afternoon and searched his pockets.
One 50 bill, marked for the purpose
of trapping Fulton, and a 25 cent
piece marked, were revealed by the
search. The case was tried in JUS
tice fuckers court late in the after
noon and the money returned to the
rightful owner.
Suspicion began to be directed
against the man who was assisting
in the big sale now being held in
the McFarlane store about week
ago, when clerks first began to no
tice that he did not always visit the
cash register after he had made a
sale and received the money. Sew
eral instances are cited when he
would sell articles and only turn in

a small portion of the money receiv-
ed. Accordingly, Mr.. McFarlane set
his trap by marking money which
was brought into the store Saturday
and exchanged for goods, the GUS
toners selecting Mr.. Fulton to wait
upon them.
The sales company was notified
that the services Of Mr.. Fulton, who
was receiving ascommission upon the
sale conducted here, were dispensed
with and they have sent an investi-
gator to this city who arrived here
yesterday.
Mr.. Fulton defends himself by say
ing that he was 50 busy. at times, he
had no time forget tothe cash reg
lister after assale was made but would
giyet hef change from his own pocket;
that he had no intent to defraud.
This assertion, however, Is not be-
lieyed by the members of the clerk
ing force. Fulton will probably take
action to enforce the payment of the
last two checks rendered by Mr.. Nc
Farlane to him for his commission
payment upon which was immedi-
ately stopped when this affair occur

Mrs. Nv. w. Boak celebrated her
eighty-sixth birthday anniversary, in
q quiet way, at her home on north Des
Moines street on Saturday, Dec. 4th.
A few Of her immediate neighbors
and friends Joined the three daughters
who live in this city--Mrs. Elva How
ard, Mrs. c. d. Carpenter and Mrs. ].
E. Quackenbush- noon time re-
past suitable to the occasion. A num-
ber Of kindly remembrances were re-
ceived both from children from away
as we'll as those in this city. One Of
these was the long accustomed birth
day cake, bearing eighty-six lighted
candles so indicative of a long and
well spent life.
Mrs. Boak came to this city from Mt.
Pleasant, Iowa, with her husband in
1855, preempting the claim upon
which their farm was located north of
this city. There was but one real es
tate transfer of the land comprisins
this farm, until Mr.. and Mrs. Boak
moved to town a number Of years
ago during which time Mr.. Boak has
passed on. fs
Mrs. Boak is one Of. If not the most
remarkable, woman of her, years in
this section Of the state. She retains
all her faculties and walks the mile
from her home to those of her daugh-
ters in the south part Of the city, as
briskly as girl. She goes to market
or shopping whenever she desires and
deos not think of fatigue.
Her energy and activity Of early
years while more modified, as suited
to her present needs. are Characters
tic of her today as they undoubtedly
were when she moved here sixty
years ago.
The Freeman-Tribune joins with
others Of her friends in wishing Mrs.
