DRUGGIST MOVES
TO east SIDE
Rudolph KnauI, for More Than Forty
Years Pharmacist in Denison,
Moves to New Location

Move to be a Permanent One and Mr..
knaul viii Arrange Beau
fuI Home

Rudolph Knaul has started the re-
moval Of a part of his stock to his
new location on the east side Of Main
street, the room now occupied by the
Willard service station. He Is NOV
ing that part Of the stock that belongs
in the basement first, and is erecting
the necessary shelving as needed. He
is finding that to move a drug and
wall paper business is no small task,
and it will be some time before he is
entirely settled. Mr.. KnalH makes
the move because the First National
bank desires the room he now occu-
pies to accommodate their banking
business. When finally settled in the
new home Mr.. Knaul will be able to
make much better display of his
stock; the room is much deeper than
his present quarters, and he will have
much larger floor space.
Mr.. Knaul is one of the pioneer
business men of Denison; he came to
Denison in 1879, and Immediately en-
gagged In the drug business. His first
place of business was on Center street
in a frame building. From the first
his business proved lucrative and he
was soon able to erect the fine brick
store room now occupied by the Boys
hardware department. Later on he
disposed Of the property to good ad-
vantage and took a leasel on the room
he now vacates, and which belongs to
the First National Bank. His new
location will no doubt be a permanent
one, and he intends to make an at
tractive and convenient store, where
in he can accommodate his ever in
creasing trade to much better advant-
age. In another column he takes op-
portunity to extend thanks to his
many customers for their patronage.

Contamination of Iowa streams from
|sewerage from towns and cities is TAX
ing on a more serious aspect since
greater interest centers in more rig
i'd observance of sanitation. A dozen
towns along the Cedar river, lnclud-
ing such PAGES as Charles City, Wav-
|erly, Cedar Falls, Waterloo, VintoA
and Cedar Rapids dump their sewer
age into that stream and from this
stream the most of these places get
their water supply, and in the winter
put up ice from it for summer use.
The same conditions prevail along
the Des Moines river in the state. At
Fort Dodge a mass meeting was call
ed for the purpose of getting the as
|sistance of the state board OF health
to survey what is termed an ice field
|or zone. Sewerage from the TT.

river where ice is harvested in the
winter for the city's supply The
claim is also made that the city's
water supply is contaminated from
the same source.

over the requirement of the school
board that all members of the grad

so attire herself and diploma was re-
fused her. Suit was brought to COM
pei the board to issue her diploma,
the case being taken to the Dallas
county court at Adel, and the board
of directors was sustained. Mr.. Val
entine appealed the case to the state
supreme court and that tribunal re-
verses the decision of the lower

emonial is not graduation. 1t de-
clares that this is not what entities a

the completion of the prescribed
course of study which alone is neces-

Valentine did complete the necessary
four years course and obtained grades
above those required for graduation.
Justice Preston, who wrote the Opin-
ion, took the board to task for its po-
sition in requiring the students to
wear caps and gowns at the gradua-
ton exercises. 1--WE are of the Opin-
ion that the order of the board was

"and such a rule that no board has
the right to make" He stated fur
