Code Supplement Completed.
The state binder has completed
work of getting out 500 copies Of the
1918 code supplement, minus the in
dex. These books have been turned
over to the code commission. Owing
to the delay in preparing the index,
the commission says that It will be
impossible to issue the completed vol
ume before the legislature closes.
Members OF the Thirty-fifth general
assembly need not worry about being
deprived OF copy Of the 1918 sup
plement, It is said. The law author
izing the publication OF the work
makes provision that the distribution
shall begin with the members Of the
Thirty-hfth general assembly. al
though It Is now certain that the
supplements will not be out before
the Thirty-sixth general assembly
closes. The same law fixes price
of "a on the volume. There are hints
that the next legislature may raise
the price 81 owing to. the increased
cost Of getting cat the book and the
improved index which 1t is claimed 1t
will contain.

tin which contains valuable informa-

ter months when the price goes to
40 cents a dozen. BY using water
glass. eggs can be preserved indefi-
nitely. providing they are fresh when

Twenty cents worth Of water glass
will. when diluted with water, make
sufficient to pack away from eighteen
to twenty dozen eggs.

mitted in Iowa. BY this method dirty
rice is made to appear clean. the bull
letin says.

ed additional service to the state
railroad commission by voting to fur

western states who are combining
forces to oppose western railroad
freight rate advance. II was origin
