Fresh Eggs and Eggs.

Nothing is more wholesr re than
a really fresh egg from .ean nest,
but eggs in dirty nest--a nest dir
ty from long use by the hens, from
Groppings or. soiled feet, are not
wholesome. One need not be very
''finickyY to turn in disgust from
some eggs brought in as fresh. Wash
ing them off does not entirely cleanse
them-the egg shell is porous. If n
raw egg taken from a dirty nest is
beaten into milk, and given to the
invalid as nourishing food, it may
carry with IL the microorganisms
which cause illness similar to pto-
maine poisoning. What the eye does
rot see, the stomach will not know"
is not a safe rule for families to fol-
low. Hens nests should be frequent
ly changed and kept clean, says Wal
laces Farmer.

BREAD IN BOOTLEG CLASS.
Analysis of Bread at Des Moines
Shows Too Much Alcohol.

Des Moines, Ia, Nov. lit is
probable that every person in Des
Moines who bakes loaf of bread is
making bootleg product, under
the Iowa law, in the light of an an
alysis of fourteen loaves of bread re-
Gently purchased on the public mar
ket here, and analyZed at the direc-
ton of a representative here of one
of the so-called temperance drinks.
These fourteen loaves of bread an
alyzed averaged in alcohol content
81 per cent by volume. One-tenth
of / per cent is the limit the Iowa
laws allow.
Grape juice sellers, too, are liza
BILE to prosecution and fine, accord
ing to analysis at this same mans
instance. Samples of four different
kinds of grape juice were examined
They contained .21, .45, IA and Ia
per cent Of alcohol. All are unlaw-
full within the meaning OF the Iowa
law. A sample of well known
brand of ginger ale contained .21
per cent of alcohol.
Bevatone, on the other hand
which is the basis of many of the
prosecutions of druggists, contain:
less than one-tenth of one per cent
of alcohol, according to a report by
Noah Davis, city chemist But beva
tone is malt drink, and the low
law says that it is unlawful to sci
malt or spirituous liquors"
This brings up another interesting
question. The ordinary matted mill
that is sold in drug stores is a "mal
liquor" Is it bootleg?

THE BAND BUSINESS.
The Street Corner Sage Gives His
Opinion.

up "a or anuther) band here" said

man in front of whose store the sage
had stopped for talk.

I've been in several, and the only

pound tuba er drum hitched to yer
shoulders. Takes lot time TO keel

never git any thanks fer it, let alone
bein' paid. No more uf the band bust
ness fer me, that's sure"
That's where you're wrong, Tn

tinuing: Were all going to chip in
and buy the boys new uniforms and
pay them regularly for indoor con-
certs all winter and open-air ones
next summer
well, you needn't count on me

adding as he started away, 1--WE don't
need eny band here, enyway."

ONE CAUSE OF ACCIDENTS.
List of Automobile Accidents Pub
lished Daily is Appalling.

The list of automobile accidents
published day by day is appalling.
Monday mornings newspapers,
with their record of Sunday MAIN
ing and slaughter, sound like dis
patch from blody Belgium.
These accidents occur from so
many different causes, that it is
hard to say what particular prac-
tice among reckless drivers is the
more threatening. Very prominent
among these causes, however, is the
very frequent attempt made to pass
another car while third is coming
in the opposite direction.
Few country highways are wide
enough for three vehicles of any
kind. Before trying to pass a ma
chine or a team, driver should be
sure that no one else is coming
from the other way so as to bring
the three together.
Some of these speed lunatics en-
joy showing their ability to extri-
cate themselves from a critical stu
alton. 1t delights them to make a
letter S between two machines COM
ing in opposite directions, which
threaten to nip them between the
points of a pair of scissors. If such
drivers could alone suffer, the world
would be content to see them in a
hospital bed, often to attend their
funerals.
But Unfortunately these scorch
ers are very apt to be driving heavy
and powerful cars, which they en-
JOY showing Off to what they sup
pose is a gaping and admiring pub
lie. The common result in the sit
uation above described is that on
of the outside cars is forced off tn
highway. If the bank is steep an
high, the machine turns turtle, an
merry holiday is turned to da
of tragedy.
OF course ordinarily the tire
cars all escape, by the skin of thei
teeth. Those whose safety was en-
dangered hurl epithets, and the
go their ways, and forget all abou
it. A mans number should be TAX
en- and the case reported to the pre-
per authorities. There is too littl
futile kicking about these thing
and too little action to follow u
: speeders.

KEEP YOUR EYES PEELED.

Watch out for the man who is
trying to take the joy out of life.
Ten to one he is a reformer for
revenue only, who is trying to
make things appear worse than
they really are, in order to make d
place for himself at the public pie
counter. He'll get up an organization
to fight something that gives pleas
ures to others-whether It's dancing,
such as the young folks enjoy, or
playing cards, which maybe some of
the matrons like, or billiards, or
baseball, especially on Sunday, or
any other enjoyment in which nor
NAL, healthy human beings indulge.
The first thing such a man does is
to go to the capitol to prevent the
passage of bill by which people
will get some improvement. He
will try to have things prohibited.
He is always trying to prevent some
thing. Did you ever see this kind
of reformer trying to have a bill
passed that would enable people to
enjoy life. Never His sole idea is
to force through the legislature or
the city council blue law to make
other people live according to his
ideas, or to prevent the passage of
laws introduced by other people who
may want to live differently. The

REPUTED MISER LOSES HEAD.
Chris Peterson, of Clarence, Decapi.
tated While Blasting Stumps.

Upton, Nov. Chris Peterson,
a resident of Clarence, was instant
ly killed Tuesday afternoon while
blasting logs on his farm three miles
east of Clarence.
Mr.. Peterson was getting out his
winters wood and when his man re-
turned to the timber for load OF
wood he found him dead, a part OF
his head being blown off from the
blast, Coroner Mccormick, of Tip
ton, was summoned at once but saw
no need of an inquest.
Pc erson, who was rs years old,
conducted a small shoe shop in
Clarence. Although he was con-
s:dered worth quarter of million
dollars, in farm lands and farm
mortgages, he lived the life of a
miser He had no family and lived
with a niece. He had been a resi-
dent of Clarence for a long time,
formerly coming from Sweden.
BY saving he had accumulated a
large fortune of about $250,000 and
was one of the wealthiest men in
Cedar county.

COUNTY BOARD TAKES GOOD
CARE OF AGED WARD.
Has Leased and Sold Old Mans
Farm, Supporting Him Out
of Proceeds.

Carroll, Ia, Nov. IA report on
a guardianship now twenty-five
years in operation in this county,
has served to recall piece of finan-
ciering by the then members of the
county board which is in sharp con-
trast to methods sometimes follow
ed at this time.
A quarter of century ago the
county board of this county, includ-
ing j. B. Graham, v. Rousch, and j..
D. Walsh, discovered what they be-
lieved was an effort to rob a citi-
zen of the county whose mind had
become weakened, out of his farm,
tract of 100 acres, located near
Carroll. 1t was because the man
was about to become a county
charge and lose his land in addi-
ton, that the board decided upon
a radical move.
The land was advertised for sale
by the sheriff under an order of the
court. The county board bid it in,
had guardian appointed for the
old man, who was then yet able to
do some work. He worked as a la
borer and in the course of time re-
Iimbursed the county for what it had
paid out for him, when the deed to
the farm was made out to the guar
dian, who leased il for years and
gave the income to the owner, who
was thus enabled to live in luxury
compared to what might have been
the case.
The guardianship has been con-
tinued to the present time. The
farm was finally sold for 1000
and the money invested, the income
from it being used to defray the ex-
penses of the old man, who still
lives at the age of "A years. The
man has no known relative, for eff
forts were made at different times
to locate some kin, and in due time
the state will probably inherit the
1000.

"By the way" inquiries the Bur-
lington Hawkeye, has anybody
ever made any calculations on the
cost of road dragging as compared
with some permanent improve
ment of the road? How does the cost
of dragging compare with a certain
percentage of the cost of perma-
nent improvement? How long will
a first class pavement last on the
average Iowa road? After we know
some of these things, then We can
find out whether road dragging is
in reality as cheap and as profitable
and as practical as it was pictured
