Evening times-Republican. [volume] (Marshalltown, Iowa) 1890-1923, 1917-03-13
Abbott Given Majority.

Abbott Given Majority.
With five candidates for the mayor
atty nomination in the field Abbott
with a vote of 1920. was given ma
jority over the other four, whose COM
bined vote was 1,O41. Abbott carried
all five wards, as did also Bell.
To John I. Bell. candidate for the
nomination of councilman, feb the
honor of leading all other candidates
in the vote he received. Altho he did
not have a majority over all other
candidates, yet he ran away ahead Of
the councilman ticket, with vote OF
500 more than the next nearest can
didate, John c. Crelin. This large
vote for Bell is undoubtedly explained
united on him.
Administration Vote Small.
A very important phase Of the pri-
mary was the great falling off III the
vote for Mayor Millard and Council
man Mcfarland, compared with the
vote they received at the primary two
years ago. The Millard vote was lit
tie more than one-half OF what it was
two years ago, and Mcfarland re-
fourth of the vote he was given in the
1915 primary.
That the administration had fallen
in disfavor with a large number of
voters OF different classes is shown by
this reputation Of the administration,
for which failures and acts Of the adj
ministration were chiefly responsible.
Water Is Big Factor.
It was apparent before the primary
that the largest DETECTION from the
former support Of Mayor Willard and
Councilman Mcfarland would be
caused by the situation the admins
tration had allowed the water supply
to fall into. Councilman Mcfarland,
being superintendent Of the water
supply department; was charged by
voters with responsibility for the stu
alton that resulted. His failure to take
steps to protect the supply main from
the wells where It crosses a water
channel, where it was threatened by
floods and ice jams, which finally re-
suited in the council taking the BUSH
ness into its own hands and building
a dam in Asher creek, was another
cause
Fifth Ward Has Objection.
In the Fifth ward, where normally
Willard and Mcfarland might have
been expected to poll large vote. and
where their vote was heavy In the 1915
primary, they received light support
for an entirely different reason. In
connection with the extension Of the
NJ. x st. L. freight yard, the council
proposed to close Ninth avenue across
the NJ & ST. l.. and C. & n. W., which
would have left the south side no
crossing over the tracks between Third
avenue and Twelfth avenue. This pro-
posal created a good deal Of feeling on
the south side, especially in the dis
trict east Of Third avenue. The south
siders objected first by petition, and
later were represented by delegation
that persuaded the council to leave
Ninth avenue open.
The administration lost other votes
by assessing the cost of sewers to
abutting property, chiefly for the rea-
son that aItho this method was entire
| ly legal, 1t was new and had never
| been used before. Some voters felt an
additional burden Of tax was being
| imposed on them.

New Way to Keep Eggs.


R. w. Dean, Des PLANES. Sn.,
man, has discovered new method OF
keeping eggs fresh the year round,
says st. Louis Interstate Grocer.
His formula is to pack the eggs in
olive oil or cottonseed oil and place
them in a cool place. He finds that
the oil closes the air spaces in the
egg shell and prevents it from de.
teriorating. Confirming his discovery
Mr.. Dean exhibited eggs which had
been laid away in olive oil for seven
months and which he stated were as
fresh as the day they we're laid, by
actual test.
1.-THE process is simple Mr.. Dean
says. "The idea is to prevent the
egg from deteriorating. An ordinary
egg spoils because the air works
through the shell. So I shut out the
air. All that was necessary to do
this was to place the eggs in olive
oil, cottonseed oil or mixture OF
olive oil and pan grease of about
one to ten. The oil closes the air
spaces in the eggshell.
II have found the oil does not
soak into the shell or faint the egg
in the least. 1t might be different II
great quantities were stored in this
way, because of the pressure, but
don't think it would" Mr.. Dean
didn't state what the preserving OF
eggs in olive oil would cost per dozen

MARKET AT SPOKANE.

Butter-The local market is very
firm in sympathy with other centers,
but quotations still remain at 38@40c
for creameries.
Eggs-No change is noted in the egg
market as to prices, which registered
a decline last week. l,ss..
Poultry-No further changes have
been noted in poultry prices during the
week, but receipts are still rather light
and the market may be higher.
Fresh Meats-Livestock holds at
same figure as last week, while dressed
beef shows an advance of about half a
cent.
Lard and Cured Meats-Lard re
mains unchanged, while there has been
slight declines in hams, with bacon
holding at previous figures.
Hides and Wool-No further reduc.
lions in hides have been made since
that noted last week, but the market
is in very unsatisfactory condition
and gives indication Of going lower.
Wool holds at previous levels.
Fruits and Vegetables.
Apples-There is practically nothing
new in the apple market. The fruit
continues to move very slow, caused by
big crop the last season and restricted
eastern shipments.
Oranges-Navels still hold at pre-.
vious quotations of 1925 for fancy and
SO for choice. The quality is getting
excellent and good business is pass
ing all the time.
Other Fruits-Lemons remain I'M
changed at $4@4.50, and there has been
no change on grapefruit, bananas nor
cranberries during the week as to
prices.
Potatoes-Market remains firm at
the advance noted last week, but the
movement is rather restricted.
Other Vegetables Cabbage and dry
onions are flrmer at $3.2503.50 per
cwt., as is also dollhouse lettuce at 81
box.
Wheat-The steadying effect notice
able in the wheat market last week de.
veloped into an advance, the market
going up lac at Chicago in two days
and then off &c. Advances of &c were
scored on Tuesday and Wednesday and
drop back of &c on Thursday. This
has also been reflected at Coast points
and locally, the latter quotations be-
ing $1.51 for bluestem, $1.44 for club
and $1.42 for red Russian. The an.
nouncement by the railroads Of the re.
moval in part Of the embargo on
freight has eased up slightly the situa'
ton on wheat, although there is not
much Offering for sale.
Feed-Market still holds at previous
figures with the exception of oats and
barley in car lots, which are advanced
the former quoting at $3.50 and the
latter at $35.

General Trade Conditions.

Duns Review says: Results during
1916 surpassed the most sanguine ex-
pectations, evidence of the unexam.
pied business being found In every
statement that appears. 1t has been q
period of unprecedented achievements
In finance, trade and industry.
The maintenance of consumption de
mands in record volume, notwlthstand
ing the highest prices Of modern times
was the outstanding feature. The year
closes, however, with rather general
abatement of purchasing and with the
question Of future establishments en-
tering more largely into calculations
Yet certain hesitancy and slowing
down Is natural this season, In view
of the interruption caused by inven
torying and annual settlements, and
the fact that in most cases require
ments were covered far ahead on the
previous extensive buying movement
Producers still are less concerned
about securing additional contracts
than in making deliveries on old or
ders, and the difficulties Of reducing
the great accumulation of business are
intensified by the transportation break
down, which has been aggravated b!
storms in some sections.

AN OLD RECIPE
TO DARKEN HAIR
Sage Tea and Sulphur Turns
Gray, Faded Hair Dark
and Glossy.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded, streaked
or gray. Years ago the only way to
get this mixture was to make 1t at
home, which is mussy and trouble
some.
Nowadays we simply ask at any drug
store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound" You will get a large bot
tie of this old time. recipe improved by
the addition Of other ingredients for
about so cents. Everybody uses this
preparation now, because no one can
possibly tell that you darkened your
hair, as 1t does it SO naturally and
evenly. You dampen a sponge or soft
brush with 1t and draw this through
your hair, taking one small strand at
a time; by morning the gray hair dis
appears, and aft another application
or two, your hair becomes beautifully
dark, thick and glossy and you look
years younger. Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Compound is delightful toilet
requisite 1t Is not intended for the
cure, mitigation or prevention of dis.

# KIDNEYS AND
BLADDER BOTHER
Take Salts to flush Kidneys and
neutralize irritating
acids.

Kidney and Bladder weakness re.
suit from uric acid, says a noted au-
thority. The kidneys filter this acid
bladder, where it often remains to irri-
tate and inflame, causing burning,
scalding sensation, or setting up an
irritation at the neck of the bladder,
obliging you to seek relief two or three
times during the night. The sufferer
is in constant dread, the water passes
sometimes with a scalding sensation
and is very profuse; again, there is
difficulty in avoiding it.
Bladder weakness, most folks call it,
because they can't control urination.
While it is extremely annoying and
sometimes very painful, this is really
one of the most simple ailments to
overcome. Get about four ounces of
Jad Salts from your pharmacist and
take tablespoonful in glass of water
before breakfast, continue this for two
OF three days. This will neutralize the
acids in the urine so it no longer is q
source Of irritation to the bladder and
urinary organs which then act nor.
mally again.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless,
and is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon Juice, combined with lithia,
and is used by thousands Of folks who
are subject to urinary disorders caused
by uric acid irritation. Jad Salts is
splendid for kidneys and causes no bad
effects whatever.
Here you have a pleasant, efferves-
cent lithia-water drink, which quickly
relieves bladder trouble.

Why Rrooms Are Higher.

The crop has already practically all
gone out of farmers hands, the bulk
going direct to the manufacturer, the
warehouses carrying the smallest sup
ply in years, both at concentration
and primary markets, says Broom
Corn Review.
Field representatives have cleaned
up in western Kansas, and late re-
ports show that only an occasional
section can be found where it is pos
sible to secure small lots. Everything
Is held at high prices and trading is
principally from warehouses. Only an
occasional crop held by the farmer
and that brings as rule higher
price than any previous sale. One lot
Of three cars was bought last week at
$275 to the grower, while a block OF
$50 bales, stored in warehouse and
owned by broom manufacturer sold
at $255. Stocks on hand are gradually
getting lower, and one estimate of the
total holdings of storage and dealers
corn places it around rs cars.

MINING NOTES

The Golden Mining Co. has bonded
the Buckhorn property in the Elk
River country and will install So
ton mill and cyanide plant in the
spring.
Twenty-six carloads of concentrated
ore have been shipped by the Rex Con.

Mont.
Work on the smelter and other build
ings of the Bunker Hill & Sullivan
Mining & Concentrating Co. at KEEL
logg, Idaho, is more than half done
and it is believed the plant will be
ready for operation in the spring. The
company appropriated $1,000OO0 for
it's construction and equipment.

Grains Up

Chicago, Jan. 8.-For the first time
ware prices on wheat here touched to-

bushel. No. 2 red winter wheat for
immediate delivery was sold at that
price, an advance of about cents
since Saturday.
Pressing demand, for shipment to

Simultaneous with the ascent of
wheat, other grain went soaring. The
