"T|z' FOR TIRED

Use "Tiz" for puffed-up, burning, ach.

corns.

Why go limping around with ach

hardly get your shoes On or of? WHY

Tiz' makes your feet glow with
comfort: takes down swellings and
draws the soreness and misery right
out of feet that chafe, smart and

corns, callouses and bunions. "Tiz"
is glorious for tired, aching. sore feet.

AN IOWA DAY.

| The state superintendent of publ
instruction is agitating an Iowa da.
| primarily for the schools of the state
1t may be well to confine that da,
to the schools. For what shall i
| profit us to add to holidays that ar
given scant attention, another holi
day that would probably receive SINH
lar treatment The state superinten
dent should, however, receive all pos
sible assistance in the project of de
voting one school day in the yea

Much might be said for this plan L
is difficult, on the other hand, to con
ceive any valid objection to the same
says the Burlington Hawk-Eye.
Perhaps the superintendent knows
state, that there is real need of such
a day. He probably realizes that on,
school histories, like our school
biographies gives scant attention tc
our own state. The histories have SO
much about the colonies and their
more or less worthy governors, that
some of the youngsters never seem
to get beyond the revolutionary period
and then il they do get through the
book, what does il contain regarding
their own state. 1t might be possible
to have separate chapter devoted to
Iowa, or perhaps a separate booklet.
And perhaps it might be Just as well
to begin the study of history with
that OF our own state.

there is chapter devoted to Iowa

ucal to begin with Iowa history in
stead of dovetailing il II where it
belongs, but surely there IS
no good reason why geography
should not begin in the home town
and spread over the state and neigh

possible 10 combine history and
geography of Iowa, and what an in
-e-esting study that could be made
Tor every youngster in the school and
for many thousands who have left
heir school days behind them. A
work OF that kind. to be introduced
n the schools, would be one OF the

STATE AUTO FEES
/ MILLION AND HALF
Increase In Receipts In Last Year
Was Nearly $4,000 According
to Reports From
Department.
BIG INCREASE Is COMING
Registration Bureau Figures Number
Of Cars In Next Year Will
be 175.ooo-DeIay In
Numbers.

The total fees collected by the
state automobile department for 1916
amounted to $1.517,743, according tc
report issued last night. This is
nearly half million Increase owe,
1914.
The receipts for the calendar year
of 1914 Of this departm emit wore ST..
| 040,135. The exact increase was SAT-.
sos.
The report for 1914 does no. in.
clude the fees for cars registered FOR
that year. which were received By
the department In December, 1913.
However. it includes fees for cars
registered for 1915, which were 10
ceived In December Of 1914 Like
wise the financial statement OF the
department for 1915 does not include
fees from cars registered for this
year. which were received in Dece,n-
Der, 1914. On the other hand 1t H.
cludes fees received in December for
cars registered for 1916.
The year for the distribution OF the
auto fees does not coincide with tbe
calendar year. Fees will be distr.b-
uted among the ninety-nine counties
of the state for the six months period
on March 1. The second distribution
will be made Sept. 1. The Increase
in fees means many more miles Of
road Improvement possible in the
various counties by the judicious use
of the funds.
There were 145,100 autom obiles
registered in 1915. The estimate Of
number of machines which will be
registered in 1916 is $4,000. There
were 1910 motorcycles registered dur
ing the last year. The number esti-
mated for 1916 is $500.
The department up to last night
mad registered 3S.171 autos for 1915.
Unfortunately the manufacturer hay-
ing the contract for 1916 plates, has
failed to make deliveries on time and
some of the car owners will be de-
layed several days in getting new
plates.

Of a single pair of barn owls
there have been found 5000
skulls, nearly all of them relics

For most of the wild birds a
still clearer case can be made

mems of ten other kinds of in

was found to have eaten SO cot

1t is a fact which cannot be
TOO often repeated, that the wild
birds of the woods and fields
have been misjudged. They are
not injurious, but benefcent.
They are the friends of the
farmer, and therefore of man
kind. They keep down the il.
sect pests which already cause
$500, 100000 loss a year, and
which if allowed to multiply
without such natural check
would destroy our entire food

sentimental considerations, we'd
better stop killing the birds and
give them more protection.
