BUTTER.
. OF shoes md SHIPS

Butter is by-product OF the domes-
tic COW and the humble peanut. It II
used to disguise the natural flavor Of
articles which otherwise would have to
be eaten with the nose In the form Of
a question mark.
Methods Of making butter have been
greatly improved in the last thirty live
or forty years. For a long time before
the fragrant hand separator was intro
duced. the farmer made his own butter
and sold what was left after the hired
man was thru supper to people in
town. This butter was always made
by the farmers wife, who had secret
process which nobody has been able
to initiate successfully since. The
churning was done by little brother In
o calico apron and Respondent spirit
who would wave gloomily at the care
free playmates with one hand and
scatter sour cream on the kitchen floor
with the other, after which the sound
Of the single would be heard In the
land.
Butter is now made in large, highly
perfumed buildings by rude men In
rubber boots. who are often obliged to
work with cream strong enough to
travel on foot. 1t Is then shipped az
far as the railroad will carry 1t and
sold to consumers who remember
mothers butter and weep. The price
of butter is determined by supply and
demand, the same as the price Of gas
olene.
oleomargarine is pallid. thin
legged imitation OF butter which can
be painted in such manner as to de-
ceive the elect. Thousands OF people
are eating oleomargarine every day
under the lively impression that some
creamery butter has strayed into the

PROTECT THE pEPosiToRs' RESERVE.

A savings bank failed yesterday in
Pittsburg with 81, 900, 600 Of depositors'
money in its possession. But the de-
posters will not lose anything under
this new federal law" said a friend TO
an editor. "Oh, yes, they will" was
the reply. why SO? What good is
the reserve association if it can't pro-
tect the depositors asked the friend.
and long explanation followed.
But the man in the street was right
in conclusion if not as to his facts
The federal reserve association does
nothing for the depositor. There is 10
insurance OF deposits in the plan and
there ought to be. In the first place
savings banks and state banks doing
business under state charters are not
members OF the federal reserve asso-
citation in any great numbers. National
banks are compelled by law to join or
give up their national charters. Once
in, the protection runs 70 the member
bank and to the business men who
must borrow money to keep their mills
running and men employed.
Heretofore when the demand for
credit became abnormal banks were
compelled TO start runs on their reserve
banks for more cash reserves, money
became tight, bankers got scared,
merchants and manufacturers were
denied credit, merchants quit ordering
goods, factories closed down and men
were thrown out OF work all in the
midst Of plentiful production from the
soil. An artificial panic was created
without any real want OF material
wealth just as washout might stop
plies in one place without any short
age in goods that could be had were
the trains running. The federal re-
serve association has ended this con-
dition very largely because 1t has pro-
vidsa 9 strong reserve association au-
thorized to discount the notes Of mem
Der banks for cash which, in effect, en-
abIes banks to share their loans with
the central reserve association when
the demand upon them for loans be-
comes too great for comfort.
It would be only a short step for
ward, however, for the federal reserve
association to set up mutual IN
surance society under its own super
vision whereby member banks could
take out insurance upon their de-
posts, pay a nominal premium. sub
nit to constant inspection and audit
by the expert accountants Of the in
surance department. In this way q
member bank could advertise to the
public that every deposftors money
was guaranteed by the federal re-
serve association and then no state
bank would long stay out. In so do.
ing the great danger Of government
guarantee Of deposits would be avoided
in that banks would not be admitted
to mutual insurance without first pass.
ing examination and then living up I,
the rules Of safe banking for thei
policies would give to the insurance
society power to compel the observance

Topics of the Times

Iowa City is dry. For the first time
IN generation Of men the boys at the
state university are to be deprived Of
the pleasure Of saloon companionship.
The men OF military age in Iowa are
placed at 100000 or more AS equip
ment for mobilization we have avail
able one automobile for every two Of
them.
Germany with a total population of
$4,000 600 has lost 2,2S7,000 men in this
war That is equivalent to the de-
s;ruction of every male voter in five
states like Iowa.
II union labor gets back Of Garst's
idea Of state insurance for workmen' s
compensation it will have tackled a
constructive policy. If the workman is
dents he must first cut the present
cost to industry.
II now appears that our saloon
friends in Manning were not fighting

FALLEN GIRLS.-I noticed in The
Day Book recently an appeal for a
refuge for fallen girls made by Kate
Adams. Miss Adams is one whom
every man and woman in Chicago
should love and respect. Her intui-
lions and motives are right, but if
such a thing should be made into
reality by the voters, what would be
the result? 1t would mean more
graft for certain politicians and
grafters. Will you show me one
branch of charity in the city of Chi
cago today which is benefited by 40
per cent of the funds which are sup
posed to go to charity?
Does Kate Adams know the prosti-
tute? No. She only knows her as a
woman. A prostitute is nothing else
and never will be anything else. They
are born, not made. AS far as educa-
ton is concerned, look up and read
can Interested Readers" letter in
The Day Book of Jan. % and you Will
see something which will interest
you concerning prostitutes. That
man knew what he was writing
about. Once a prostitute, always a
prostitute, and the more education
you give them the worse you make
them.
There is no education or CONVEX
sion for a woman of this kind, so the
best thing to do, in my estimation, is
to give us back a segregated district.
If we had home for fallen girls, how
many would go there? Not one in
thousand. They would detest the
place as the poor, hungry man, who
is out of work, detests the municipal
lodging house. This is because they
know how they would be treated at
an institution of this kind.

DIR. DAVIES AND FREE DOPE

DKs DHVIES ANU FREE DOfE
CURES.-I will try and answer DR..
Davies who recently expressed sur
prise that he had not received more
applications for the free treatment
which is being granted to drug vic
tins in both state and city hospitals.
At first the poor dopes were only
too glad to apply for relief but when
stories of the brutal cure and treat
ment received by the patients circu-
lated among the afflicted the applica-
tons fell off.
A number of dope fiends who have
applied for relief have been induced
to join the "Snitch Club" and obtain
information for their arch enemy the
police. Receiving no dope they soon
quit and this news. spreading around,
scared the rest of the sufferers away.
Recently report has been spread
throughout the underworld that the
cures used in County Hospital, Elgin
and other free institutions, are brutal
that the patients are strapped to
beds and tied with sheets in the midst
of their horrible craving for dope.
When they ask for relief they receive
abuse.
If this is so 1 cannot see what DR..
Davies wonders at.
The should know that report of
this character spreads like wild-fire
and is believed.
A fend will not apply for treatment
if he hears, that he is to be treated
like a dog and suffer the awful
agonies of being deprived of his slim
ulant.
A week or two ago the government
closed a hospital which specialized
in curing fiends. 1t had been run
ming for 20 years and the treatment
always resulted in a cure. It was pop
ular because it was cheap and easy.
Patients were not imprisoned
