the disease may be prevented. He Is
OF the opinion that the relation OF
weeds to hay fever IL intimate and
that as this relation becomes more

weed laws will be introduced in all
the towns and cities. He might go
farther and suggest that II hay fever
suffering is to be mhigrated compul-
sorry measures should be taken for the
cutting of weeds along lanes and
highways in the country and In the

that the common ragweed (ambrosia

giant ragweed (ambrosia trifida) is
for IS per cent OF the
sneexing infection in the middle and
northern states. Other culprits are
the bloom Of the mersh elder. the
yellow dock, the cookie bur and the
Johnson grass (sorghum tialapense).
He also notes that practically all
grasses are wind pollinated and may
cause hay fever. August is the month
generally accredited with the greatest
prevalence of hay fever.

Daily Stock Letter.

NEW YORK, July 27.-The New

today said Operations In today's
stock market were light in all parts
Of the list. with the general tendency
of prices In the direction of lower
levels. The more important inter.
ests took no part in the speculation
while there was no indication of out
side participation except to a slight
extent in some of the high class
issues in which investment buying
was reported. At times in the after
noon trading came almost to stand
still, even active efforts by pro-
fessionals against the poorest variety
OF stocks failing to excite any inter-

Cherry Pits Useful.

The department of agriculture has
found that several valuable products
are procurable from the cherry pits
and Juice now thrown away by can
neries, says the Detroit Free Press.
The kernels of the seeds can be
made to yield fixed and volatile oils
as well as q meal suitable for cattle
food, while the Juice ordinarily vast
ed in the pitting process may be
used for jelly, strip or alcohol.
It is thought that it may be pos
sible to manufacture a very good
substitute for imported almond oil.
Some 1900 tons of cherry pits and
10000 gallons of juice are wasted
yearly at present. 1t is estimated. An
industry utilizing peach and apricot
pits has become profitably establish

The roads plank adopted by the
Meredith convention need come in for
no criticism aside from the fact that
it does not call for the sort Of pro-
gram for which the democratic candi-
date and his fellow good roads
boosters have been until recently
contending. There is not word
about state aid, or state supervision.
Gravel is the hardest substance speci-
fed as surfacing material. Bond
issues are mentioned, only to be re-
pudiated specifically, though it is well
understood that Mr.. Meredith's sup
porters are largely committed to this
method of financing the construction
of hard roads. The declaration in
favor of local option in building bet
ter roads gives a pretty clear init
nation of the cause of Mr.. Meredith's
loss Of enthusiasm for 365-day roads.
Local option was the cardinal fea-
ture Of the road plank upon which
Mr.. Harding recently rolled up his
record breaking plurality in the re-
publican primary. Mr.. Meredith and
his democratic followers, having the
first crack at the platform making,
have tried to make their structure look
as much as possible like the one
that proved so attractive In the re-
publican primary, careless of any en-
that may accrue to the
republicans.

365-day roads were assumed to mean
hard, paved loads, because that is the
kind of roads for which the Greater
Iowa association, of which the demo-
cratic candidate for governor is one
Of the leaders, has long been boost
ing. Would the prospective candidate
be able to pull the Iowa democratic
donkey to the water and make him
drink? Could party that had al
ways bid for the farmers votes be
induced to come out for raved roads :?
These were the questions asked by
everybody when the newly fiedged
leader from Des Moines made his
ringing demand for platform that
would be positive and progressive
When the democrats nominated
Mr.. Meredith In the primary with
virtual unanimity it was assumed that
the party has delivered itself into the
hands of it's near leader in the mat
ter of platform. That this inference
was well based is borne out by the
record of the Des Moines convention.
It's failure to make an outright decla-
ration for prohibition undoubtedly
was due to Mr. Merediths willing
ness. as q matter Of practical poll

NEW ENGINEERING
COURSE AT AMEs
STATE College Contsmplatss Training
For Youths Who Want 70 Be
Mechanics.

AMDS, Iowa, July 81. For the
young man who does not have high
school education but who wants to go
into Industrial engineering work, the
engineering extension division Of the
Iowa State college has Just announced
q series OF vocational courses, Begin
ming September IL, that are unique.
These courses. varying from five
months to two years in length, are
practical in nature, and are open to
anyone II years old who has complet-
ed the eighth grade. They are not
open TO- graduates OF accredited high
schools.
For those interested in the motor
car there will be course for auto
mobile mechanics, lasting through the
first semester Of the college year. The
automobile is studied from every point
Of view. Shop work and mechanical
drawing will be taught also and the
young man who has completed the
course will, be able to do successful
work in = garage. A similar course
lasting q year, will be offered to tele-
phone plant men.
The two-year, courses for electrical
workers, stationary engineers, struc-
tural craftsmen, building superfntend-
ents, surveyors and road makers, me-
chanical craftsmen and mechanicians,
are offered, consisting Of practical
shop work, laboratory courses, and In
struction in the essentials in each Of
these lines Of industrial endeavor.
These courses are entirely separate
from the regular college work offered
to graduates of four-year high schools.

tics, to take something less. The
omission of an emphatic declaration
for 365-day roads is another and sad
der story.
The report from Des Moines is that
the resolutions committee stood seven
to four against prohibition That
ought to be adequate explanation of
the failure to adopt direct endorse
ment Of prohibition. However, the
resolutions committee reported unani-
mously and the convention adopted

The main fact in connection with

plank.

Ruling In sootiesslns Cases Gave
Man In Fort Madison Prison
Chance TO Leave, But
He Stuck.
MEANT JAIL SENTENCE
Had Much Time Marked on Prison
Record for Good Behavior
Others Take Same
Stand.

Bert Doolittle, serving term Of
one year In the Fort Madison pen for
bootlegging, could have left the
prison Immediately upon the late de-
cisiop Of the supreme court holding
the law under which he was convict
ed as unconstitutional. but when It
was explained to him by an attorney
that IL he asked the trial court for
an order Of release he. would have to
serve his term in the county Jail, he
elected to remain In the pen, says
the Democrat.
In that decision Doolittle was
thoughtful. In prison he was getting
In addition to the one month allowed
duct. ten days credit for every month
served under the ten days law. Be
cause of his short sentence he was
made ''trusty" Immediately on adj
mission to the prison, and for eleven
months he has been earning ten days
credit every month. Differing, how
ever, from every other man sentenced
to prison for bootleggipg, he was
given in the first instance only three
months to serve. Had his term been
one year he would have served under
those conditions less than nine
months. Doolittle, having but three
months, with date of expiration less
the ten day time fixed for August
IS. 1916, will be released because Of
his trusty earning, July %, 1916.
There are six or seven or eight
men in prison as bootleggers. Some
OF them have said they would prefer
to remain and get the credit both
for good behavior and under the ten
day law than to be returned and be
made to serve their time in the
county Jail At any rate none of them
are making any haste to get out
under the ruling of the supreme
court declaring the law void.

OF making calls in scores Of homes.
only two babies were found who were
even slightly Ill and their condition
was in no way serious. Month after

the mothers how to care for their
babies, how, to dress them and now
to feed them, and ~ result, even IN
