LET NOTHING SPOIL.

Amid absurd suggestions for saving, the bulletins of the Department of Agricul- ture shine with common sense. Let nothing spoil" is the heading of the third in the food thrift series. It aims to be useful rather than to thrill. Hence such admonitions as:
 Do not keep perishable foods in a hot kitchen or pantry or in a sunny place a moment longer than is necessary.
 The dust particles in the air carry molds and germs.
 Meat, fish and milk are ideal breeding grounds for such germs. Keep your food covered so that these bac- teria and germs will have as little chance as possible to get on your food.
 House fiies-better called typhoid flies among the dirtiest things that en- ter our homes.
 Rats and mice destroy mil lions of dollars worth of food and other property ev- cry year in homes or farms, and in business establish ments.
 Keep household pets away from food.
 Don't think that any place in the cellar or pantry is good enough to store food.
 The bulletin goes on to tell how to plan meals, how to make use of "left-overs, how to save on "one of the items most commonly wasted in many American house. holds,' namely, bread, and to effect other economies. We have heard of a house. keeper who found that her cook had neglected to use up some lard, which when discovered was unfit for use in cooking. She promptly made soap of it. This re- quired nothing but little learning and the proper spirit.

Herbert Rawlnson should please the picture fans when they see him as "Possum" in George Bronson Towards fve-reeler. Hands Up" It is splen a reformed crook, a role full of human touches and plenty of dramatic action. It gives his pleasing personality lots of opportunities.

TWO YERS AT MOUNT
PLEASANT CLAIM THE
JOB.
New Legal Question Raised in Fight
Over Place.

Mount Pleasant, Ia, April To-
There are two claimants for the Of
fee of city solicitor here, James
Hourihan, the solicitor under the
last regime and unsuccessful candi-
late for mayor at the recent cleo
ton, and j. V. Gray, a former coun-
ty attorney.
At the first meeting of the new
council held on the first Monday in
April no solicitor was appointed, but
at a meeting held on April and af-
ter four ballots had been taken, Mr..
Gray was appointed, receiving four
votes to two cast for Mr.. Hourihan,
the voting being by secret ballot.
Mr.. Hourihan contended that
there was no legal election as the
law provides that in cities of this
class the solicitor should be chosen
at the first meeting. This not hav-
ing been done he claims that he
holds over and filed his bonds as city
solicitor.
The council met last night and
decided to postpone the matter I'M
til the next meeting. In the mean
time they will obtain legal advice.
