WHEN BRIDGES
WERE LACKING
How Pioneers Of Iowa Managed in
Days When Crossings Were
Not Built, Is Interesting
to Consider.

Did you ever think OF, the days
before bridges across the mississippi
how the pioneers who settled in
Iowa brought their heavy, cumbeI-
some prairie schooners and flocks OF
live stock across the river?
At first, the usual means employed,
was a sort of flat boat upon which
a team and wagon would be driven
and which was then propelled across

Choosing Your Shampoo Soap

If you select a soap that contains
soothing, healing properties like tho
resinol balsams in resinol soap, you
are not likely to have trouble with

This should be done twice a day.
Usually the distressing itching and

and the skin soon becomes clear and

suggestion for the relief of the present
freight tumble on American railroads comes
from member of certain eastern freight as
ISOLATION. He asks the president OF the United
States to proclaim scar FAST week, during
which shippers would forego all shipments ex-
cept perishable freight. and travellers would be
asked to postpone all journeys except those
which were positively necessary.
Here it is again-the special week. This
country appears to be incorTigible in its habit
of procIaiming special days and weeks for
rescuing itself from the trouble it gets into
during the ordinary days and weeks of the
year. We let our premises become rubbish
heaps, and then we gleefully observe clean
up week" We forget all about church for fit
ty-one weeks in the year, then we put on a long
face and trot forth on ''go-to-church Sun
day. We let rats spread filth and destruction
through community for a century, more or
less, and then reform for week or so of an an
ti-rat campaign. We wait until the fly is full
grown and dangerous, and then we have the
swat>the fly campaigns; and we wear a car
nation one day year IN honor Of Mother.
And now in the menacing blockade of
freight, with terminals piled high and sidings

VALUE OF THRIFT.

Commissioner of Education Claxton has CIV
en- out an interview in which he urges the value
of educating our public school pupils to sensl-
BILE knowledge of thrift and its importance. In
this interview he is quoted in an epigramatic
statement of a real truth: "What You would
have come out in the life of nation, put into
the minds of its youth" The present genera
ton was educated in a time when IN this coun-
try production of wealth was paramount IN
public thought, because it was so generally be-
ing achieved by our people. There was un-
paralleled opportunity for profitable labor and
skill and it was inevitable that even our schools
should reflect this spirit of optimism as to the
future. We are rapidly reaching the limit OF
our natural endowments insofar as these may
compensate for careless using OF them; we are
coming to a need of stopping all wastes. Com
missioner Maxton is right In urging the adj
visibility of making knowledge of this need
and its practical means of accomplishment q
part of public education. Our boys and girls
will have need of thrift, as we have need of il
now.

attacks the diet experiments being made in that
city as useless and deleterious to health He
maintains that people will continue to eat what
they like-which is probably quite true Gf
they can pay for it)-and that people should
SO continue, because only the food for which
relish is felt' is of real value to healthy folks.
Really, diet experiments as tried on the willing
victims at Chicago and New Y rk are only an ex-
tension of faddism, a state of e1hiliration into
which certain number of our good people are
projecting themselves. That it is doing any
real harm is yet to be demonstrated to the salts
