THE THIRD IOWA
ORDERED HOME.
$4,000 TROOPS FROM "a STATES
ARE TO LEAVE.
lOWANS ON THE FIRST TRAINS
IN Opinion of Adjutant General Logan
There is Not Enough Room at
Fort Des Moines :or More
Than One Reg. at Time

Washington, D., c., Jan. 22.-MorC
than $4,000 national guardsmen now
on the Mexican border have been des
ignated by Major General Funston for
return home and muster out of the
federal service,
All these organizations will be start
ed homeward as soon as Transports
ton facilities can be provided.
Their departure will leave between
$4,000 and $4,000 mes of the guard
still in the federal service doing Dor
der patrol.
War department officials continue
TO withhold comment on reports that
the movement of General Pershing's
regulars out of Mexico soon will be
under way and the statement announc-
ing The guardsmen designated for re-
lief does not connect these orders
with the withdrawal plans in any way.
The understanding has been how
ever, that with the return of the ex-
pedition in Mexico and readjustment
Of the border patrol all of the state
troops gradually would be sent home.
The departments statement said:
General Funston has selected these
organizations chiefly in accordance
with the rule of returning first those
troops longest in service on the bor-
der. To some extent however, this
rule could not be followed without un-
equal weakening of the border guard
and the departures from il are so ex-
planned The total strength of the or
CARNATIONS selected is 25,243"
The Iowa guardsmen designated for
return and muster out follow:
First squadron cavalry.
Field Hospital No. 1.
Ambulance Company No. l.
Brigade Headquarters.
Third Infantry.
Third Infantry First.
Des Moines, Jan. 22.-Adjt Cen Guy
+ Logan was pleased when informed
that the Third Iowa infantry and other
units had been ordered from the Dor
der to Iowa for muster out
He said the men were entirely under
control of the war department, and
he did not know what would be done
with them, but he expected that the
Third infantry would come first, be-
cause Col. Z. R. Bennett is the rank
ing officer, and be quartered at Fort
Des Moines, pending muster out.
In the opinion of General Logan,
there is not enough room in the Fort
Des Moines buildings TO quarter more
than one regiment at a time and it is
probable the cavalry, ambulance COM
pany and field hospital will be held
in Texas until the Third infantry is
mustered out, provided the Third is
sent first.
Company II, Oskaloosa, is a men,
beT of the Third Regiment.

The Sales Go On.

Weather nor time of year, appears
to be bar to the successful public
sale. A lot of changes in Mahaska
county farms are scheduled to take
place along about March /, and own

their stock and stuff by means of the
public sale. Extra high prices pre-
vail this year. Corn and grains are
away up at the top of the ladder.
What's more almost everyone is pay

GRADE SCHOOLS.

o. P. Flower, superintendent of
city schools, reports that forty-five
of the fifty pupils graduating from
the grade schools of Oskaloosa last
week, entered the Oskaloosa High
school on Monday. That ninety per
cent of the grade school graduates
should enroll for the higher educa-
ton offered in the High school sets
new record for Oskaloosa schools.
An effort is being made to interest
the five students not continuing
school work, to register at the High
school, and an offer made to adjust
the courses to suit their special
cases.
All Of the twenty-five pupils who
completed grade work at Grant
school will go to High school, nine
Of the eleven who finished at Whit
tier school, and eleven Of the four
teen Jefferson school graduates will
take academic school work
Added to the. three hundred and
seyenty-two attending the local high
school, the forty-six new students
will give Oskaloosa High school an
enrolment of four hundred and
eighteen.
The Freshman class just entering
the Oskaloosa High school is the

The extra load will not harm the mo-

the car cannot climb certain hin on

is more danger of hurting the springs

Is there any way Of adjusting the

There is no way of adjusting the geD-
orator, or, In fact, any Of the electrical
equipment, to give satisfactory opera
ton with the battery removed. If your
car has a distributor ignition system
you cannot run 1t without a battery.
II it has magnetic which is a sepa-
rate unit from the starting and light
ing system the only safe way to oper-
ate the car, If the battery is removed,
is to disconnect the generator entirely
SO il will not operate.
II the generator is allowed to run
without having a battery connected
into which the current generated may
be put the voltage will build up at high
motor speeds, with the possible and
very probable result that the armature

Ny car has pressure gauge system
for oil. II the motor base gauge shows
nearly full the oil pressure gauge nee
die registers the pressure. IL half full
this pressure gauge does not register.
Does this mean that the oil does not
circulate, or does il circulate INSULT
GENTLY to register? "@
When the pressure indicator does not
register the oil system is not operating.
The gauge in the oil reservoir should
never be allowed to show as low as
one-half or one-quarter full Oil should
be kept up TO between three-quarters
and full at all times. 1t is advisable
any time the pressure gauge does not
register pressure when the motor Is
accelerated that the condition causing
the same be corrected.

What per cent Of the gasoline that
goes into cylinder is burned and what
per cent is wasted? | have been told
that % per cent is burned. ls this cor
rect?
The percentage of the gasoline which
is burned is far higher than you have
been told, but it varies to such a de-
gree, depending on the design of the
motor, the carburetor adjustment and
many other reasons, that a definite or
even a fairly approximate figure can
not be given. Probably what the party
tried to convey to you was that about
- per cent of the energy in the fuel
went to the rear wheels. This is true.
The energy from gasoline is in the
form Of heat, and very close to IS per
cent Of the heat is lost through radia-
ton, etc.

What 10 the cause of gasoline run
ming out of the bottom of my carburst-
or just az soon as the motor stops7
The probable cause Of the gasoline
running out is that the heavy fuel
which is In the manifold condenses
after the car has stopped, running and
will run back into the carburetor and
drip out. BY putting full hot air at
tachment on the motor so that all the
air Is heated by passing through muff
surrounding the exhaust manifold, the
dripping will probably be stopped. It
Is not serious trouble, however, and
II your motor runs well the change
would not do other than perhaps give
you slightly greater fuel economy.
The center bolt In my rear spring
breaks frequently. How can prevent
this7 1885
The only explanation Is that you al
low this bolt to come loose or when
you put In new one you do not tight
en- (. sufficiently. Use lock washer
to hold the nut from turning and In
addition see that the spring clips are
tight

Pure "Sodas"
Q the Editor of the TeIeerath :

To the Editor of the Telegraph:
The article appearing in The Moth
er's Magazine of the July issue en-
titled Safeguarding Soda Foun-
teins" has made very deep impress
sion upon the writer, and the object
in writing is to arouse greater in
terest in safeguarding the lives of
our children, also calling attention to
an investigation of the board of
health of Ohio. The article states:
Microscopic examination of soda
glasses washed in cold water (dirty
also), which was undertaken to fur
nish data to the board of health. re-
vealed not in one, but many, glasses
sufficient colonies of deadly microbes
to disable an entire community. One
glass subjected to the closest scrutiny
disclosed in the thick coating of filth
which covered the inside more than
10000 decaying human cells and
scraps of dead skin. And on single
one of these cells $50 infectious dis,
ease germs were counted. With such
conditions prevailing at far too many
soda fountains, children especially,
because their power of resistance to
sickness are not fully developed,
stand the chance of contracting ton
silitis, diphtheria. typhoid and other
fevers, whooping cough, influenza,
tuberculosis of the throat or lungs
or both, measles, cancerous sores OF
the mouth, infantile paralysis and
ether dread diseases.
OR, TanZa, of the United States
Public Health Service, is firmly con-
vinced that the lack of proper steril-
ization of soda glasses can be blamed
to some extent for the rampant
spread of tuberculosis, influenza and
infantile paralysis.
when the results of these in
vestigations were set before them
the members of the Ohio board of
health were electrified into action.
Stringent regulations were adopted,
making it compulsory for the pro-
prietors of soda fountains and ice
cream parlors to sterilize all glasses,
ice cream dippers, spoons and serv-
ing dishes. Mere washing and dry
ing would no longer suffice. Every
utensil had to be sterilized either
with boiling water or live steam.
And when facilities for heating water
was not available. Individual paper
cups and spoons must be served.
Also. refrigerators and ice cream
cans must be cleaned daily with hot
water; employees must be free from
either infectious or contagious dis
eases, and the use of straws is pro-
hibited except when special care is
taken to protect them from dirt, dust
and handling.
Naturally there was some oppo-
sition to this health ordinance. There
always has been, and always will be,
opposition from some quarters (for
the most part well-intentioned, but
misguided) to every advance in the
struggle for the betterment of moth
ers and children"
May the writer state. stringent
laws should he made regulating the
sale of ice cream carted around the
street by peddlers. who no doubt
carry the same cold, greasy water
all the day, which is also subjected
to the dust of the street?
Let tus than work toward eradi-
eating this unnecessary danger and
needless scourge to the health and
well being of women and children.

THE GIRL AT HOME

TRANCE long ago found way to
use the influence of the girl
at home" for the good of the
soldier in the trenches. Millions of
letters and packages have been for
warded by girls to young men they
have never seen and never will see,
and the effect has been to vary the
monotony of the soldiers along the
battle front and to give the young
women far removed from the fight
ing keen personal interest in the
welfare of the troops.
According to the st. Louis Star, this
is to be tried out in the United States.
American bluejackets arc to be adopt
ed by Missouri girls. The adopted
sailor-if he does not object-will
receive letters, magazines, knitted
comf1es, candles and pastries from
his Lady Bountiful.
The plan to establish bonds be-
tween land and sea originated with
Mrs. ]. Harrison Steedman, chair
man of the Woman's Division of the
st. Louis branch of the Navy League.
Her first volunteer was Mrs. Edward
Schaaf, st. Mary's, Mo-, who is prom
inent in Missouri circles of the Co
lonial Daughters of America. Mrs
Schaaf got fifty-three girl acquaint-
ances to adopt a sailor each. The
girls reside at st. Mary's, Ste. Gene
yiaUa and DarrvviIIa AZ
Every one of the girls displayed
the proper foster interest, but some
of them made the special request
that their sailor be big, handsome
man." All Missouri girls are urged
to volunteer for this latest branch oi
service.
