Unselfish
Mother Love

Mother Love is one of the most
sacred things in the world. 1t
prompts the mother to give her
strengthen life even-gladly-
happily-that her child may be safer,
happier, stronger or better in every
way.
Just a food-specially prepared to
aid in making red blood and strong
healthy tissue-is what she needs.
Then all the natural functions of the
body will be easily carried on with
out the least sense of fatigue or
drain. With plenty of red blood in
her veins, mother will feel no i'll
effect from nursing baby.
HEMO will aid mother in supply
ing baby with a quantity of good
quality milk and at the same time
improve her general physical condi-
ton. When it is impossible to nurse
the baby, secure the food most
nearly like mothers milk by asking
your druggist for Thompson's Food
(Peptonized).
We suggest that you try a SOC
package with our guarantee of
satisfaction.

CATALOG HOUSES LAND IN
COURT.
Dubuque Business Men Go After Chi
cagO Mail Order Concerns, Al
leging Unfair Competition.

Dubuque, Iowa, Feb. 21.-John A.
Cunningham, secretary of the Du-
buque Retail Grocers' association
made public copies of a complaint
against certain mail order houses
which he has sent to the federal
trade commission at Washington for
investigation.
The complaint was against certain
mail order houses which were charg-
ed with unfair methods of compe-
tition" in the conduct of interstate
business. The practice of selling
sugar cheaply was the point on which
the complaint was based.
1t was alleged that since the out
break of the European war these
houses have sold graduated sugar
at less than the market price, pro-
vided specified amount of other
goods were bought along with the
sugar. The complaint said that
Sears, Roebuck & Company offered
33 1-3 pounds of sugar for 81 with
each $40 worth of groceries during
several months of 1915. During this
same time the refiners' price for sug-
ar T. o. b. in Chicago was said TO be
about $40 cents per pound. The
Dubuque grocers' complaint said
This method of soliciting trade is
a subterfuge, temptation or trick
plan, as the offer was contingent up
on the sale of other articles of quail
ity or market value of which the
purchasers were commonly ignor-
ant"
On these grounds charge of un-
fair methods of competition was
made. The complaint said that the
federal trade commission was brou
ght into existence by congress with
powers to prevent unfair competi-
ton.
Mr.. Cunningham said the petition
has the backing of the Dubuque or
ganization and also of the officers of
the Iowa State association and of the
trades relations committee of the Ma.
tional Association of Retail Grocers.

HERE'S PROOF,
A DEBORAH Citizen Tells of His
Experience.

You have right to doubt state
ments of people living far away, but
can you doubt DEBORAH endorse
ment?

G. G. Bucknell, retired farmer,
4O4 Day St., DEBORAH, says: MANY
mornings when l stopped over to put
on my shoes, l could hardly
straighten UP because a sharp pain
caught me in the small of my back.
The action of my kidneys was irreg-
ular. l read how some one else had
used Doan's Kidney Pills with good
results, so / took a box and they
gave me relief
Price soc, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for kidney remedy

THE SPELLING ON SIGNS.
observer" Writes of s'HOme-Made'
Signs.

Far be it from me to Intentionally
offend anyone, but it seems | just
must say something about some of
the homemade" signs all of us
have seen some place or another at
one time or another: mo Smoking
Aloud" by Underware Here"
"Speshal Sail on Hosiery" "Plese
Don't Ask for Credit and a score
Of others.
Few are the business men or wo-
men who do not know how to spell
these ordinary words-but they do it
through carelessness. They seem to
think that nobody cares how a word
or message is spelled, so long as it
conveys the meaning. But they most
certainly are mistaken. / we'll know
the impression / form of business
house the minute / see such a sign
in the place, and feel sure that
am neither radical nor fanantical in
such matters, but that the average
man and woman are given the same
impression.
In writing these articles for your
editor, | have no desire to advertise
his business. That is neither his pur-
pose nor mine, but in this instance i
am compelled to say that printing
office is the place to have signs print
ed. 1t is a part of the printing bust
ness to be both accurate and neat in
its productions, and surely any sign
that is going to stare the public in
the face should have these qualities.
The average business house is well
supplied with attractive signs sup
piled it by wholesale houses. They
are models of accuracy and neatness.
Perhaps it is because of these per-
feet specimens that the crude, mis-
PEELED, homemade signs with it's
backward IS" and IN" are so no
There are times, of course
when so few of one certain sign or
placard are wanted that 1t would
not pay to have them furnished by
a printer and one is compelled to
print them by hand or not have them
at ALL In such instances, attention
should be given that every word is
spelled correctly and that there are
no "up-side-down" or backward
letters in it, They are uncalled for
and truly believe they injure the
business house displaying them.

BUY COOP. POTATO MACHINERY.
Expensive Implements Thus Brought
Within Every Farmers Reach.

If farmers realized that they could
buy and use comparatively a lot of
expensive machinery, such as some
potato implements, that as indivi-
Guals they cannot afford to purchase,
it would mean big boost to the eff
cheney in some lines of farming in the
state, says the extension truck crop
man of Iowa State college. He has
worked out definite cooperate plan
to solve the problem.
Organize small stock company
with capital of $3.50 to $500 to own
and rent out in neighborhood full
line of potato machinery" he advises.
He figures that where 40 acres of po-
tatoes would be raised by ten farmers
that it would pay well for them to
have a planter, sprayer, a four
horse digger and sorter that could
be used in the field.
Iowa buys several million bushels
These she could easily grow at home
if special machinery were only at
hand. The Iowa farmer and farm boy
are expert with implements and hors-
es-they don't like hand methods.
Wi h special tools the work Of raising
potatoes is not much more than the
work of raising corn.
At the Clear Lake meeting of the
truck growers, Arthur Pickford of
Nora Springs read a paper on the
success with which in his neighbor-
hood machinery has been co-opera-
lively owned for threshing and silo
filling. The plan proved entirely salts
factory.

How to Save Wear on Auto Brakes.

In the March Womans Home Com
panion c. H. Claudy the automobile
expert says:
Remember that gradual applica-
ton of power, whether from engine or
from brakes, saves wear. When you
stop, push out the clutch a hundred
yards off, cut down the throttle, and
coast to your stopping place, with
the brakes applied gently. Don't come
down steep hills using brakes alone.
Continued use heats and wears them.
Slow up at the top, slip into second
gear, and cut off the ignition current
The engine acts as brake or a drag.
Gravity, pulling the car down, turns
the engine rapidly, and it resists. On
extremely steep, rough hills, use first
gear"

The Problems of 1916

1916 presents it's problems to the
United States:
The great national problem is that
of preparedness
The great social problem is the
amalgamation or assimilation of the
hyphenated.
The great Industrial problem is
justice for labor in a period of pros
perity.
The great problem of the home is
the economical independence of wo-
man and her increasing Importance
as wage Garner.
The great child problem is that
children shall not labor until they
have attained mature growth.
The big national question of pre-
paredness we are bound to settle this
winter, but it is highly probable that
we will just middle through the
others.
The more intimate and personal
the problem, the less liable we are
to solve it.
That is because, as individuals, We
are too passive. We are too willing
Ito take chance"
1t takes active cooperation to
make anything move-and it's up to
you, as neighbor and citizen to do
your share in shaping the events of
1915 in the right way.-Dublque

terday afternoon. He took a snOOze,
dreamed a lot Of things and awakened
refreshed. He felt fine. He arose and
found his shoes had been removed He
having removed them himself, looked
around to find them, saw them not and
then concluded that he had been
robbed. Somebody slipped the boots
off while he was asleep.
He started up FOrty-fifth street in
his stocking feet and hesitated in front
of the residence of Sam Ladgdon, Ala

Langdon awOke and found himself
in the same predicament that Barnes
had found himself when he awoke in
