sTREW NAILS ON STREETS.
Vandals In Second Ward Cause Des.
trus.tion of Tires.

truttion OF Tires.
Vandals, seeking to destroy auto
mobile tires, have made practice
the past few days OF strewing roof
ing nails IN streets and driveways
and have caused several motorists to
puncture tires on Fremont street.
between Fifth and Sixth streets. and
in private driveways along Fremont.
Several tires were punctured Sat
urday and Sunday and an investiga-
ton showed rows of flat headed
nails laid in orderly rows with point
ed ends upward in driveways.
One autoist punctured two tires
Sunday and searching found row of
the nails in Fremont street. In a
nearby driveway a row of twelve
nails was found near the edge OF
the drive where the wheels were sure
to pass.
The nails. with big flat heads, are
especially adaptable to the purpose
to which they have been applied.
Because the depredations have been
confined to the neighborhood II is
believed the work is that of boys
who take pleasure In hearing tires
pop.

FISHING SEASON OPENS SOON,
Few Days Viii See River Dotted
With Anulers.

In few days the Iowa river for
miles in both directions out Of this
city will be dotted with fishermen
taking advantage of the opening of
the season for game fish, providing
that the river is in condition for
game fishing. The season opens
May 10, and after that date. until
Dec. l, II will be legal to take from
the waters OF iowa streams, under
certain conditions, all varieties of
game fish--bass, pike. pickerel. crap
pies. rock bass, suniish, and cat
fish.
Just what the outlook is for fish
ing in the Iowa river this season
is problematical but oil fishermen
do not look for a very good season,
excepting possibly for catfish, be-
cause of the work that is being done
in the northern part of the county
in strengthening the channel OF the
river. 1t is expected that this work
will keep the water stirred up more
or less most of the season. and if it
does most game fish will be hard to
get. Fishermen are wondering. too,
X the strengthening of the river, and
the deepening OF the channel, will af-
feet the game fish, other than chan
mel cat. which like deep, swift water.
Some fishermen who have. tished the
Iowa river for many years believe
that the change in the river bed will
do away with most fishing aside
from channel cat.
For those who may not be ac-
quainted with Iowa fish laws, or who
may have forgotten>the provisions of
tie law, it should be remembered
that no person is allowed to use
nloie than two lines, with one hook
on each, excepting in trot lines,
which must not extend more than
half way across the stream, and
must not obstruct the free passage
of the fish. In other words trot
lines can not be set from one shore
to the other. No SEEMING is permit
ted, excepting for minnows. In SEM
ing for minnows the seine must not
be more than five yards in length,
and must be of three eighths inch
mesh. The young of all game fish
must be thrown back if caught in
the seines. No spearing is permiss-
able under the law.
AS to the length of fish to be TAX
en- by hook and line all bass and cat
fish must be ten inches in length
from the tip of the nose to the
fork of the tail; all pike and pickerel
twelve inches, and crappies eight
inches. Not more than forty game
fish Of all varieties may be taken in
a single day. and of this forty there
must not be more than twenty bass,
pike. or pickerel.
Violations of any of the provisions
of the fishing laws of the state are
punishable by fine of not more
than 800 and cost of prosecution, or
Imprisonment in the county Jail for
not less than fifteen. nor more than
thirty days.

tells the story Of the May party
given Monday niGht at American hall
under the auspices Of the former
canteen workers. The crowd was as
large as could be comfortably ac-
commodated and everyone seemed to
enjoy himself to the utmost, ex-
cellent music and q well arranged
dancing program making the hours
very enjoyable. The hall was hand
somely decorated In the national
colors.
The canteen workers who chap
eroned the dance added to the fund
by tho sale of pop corn balls and
bouquets Of gum drops.
The dancing was not for the young
soldiers and their friends alone. but
was enjoyed BY light-footed Older
veterans, some of whom might have
served In the rebellion. But all were
young for the May party and age
was forgotten By those who came to
aid the cause.

FALL AND SPRING BEST TIME
FOR KILLING POISON IVY

The work of Graduating poison ivy
or poison sumac may be undertaken in
the late fall or early spring with the
least danger of poisoning. 1t Is usually
possible to find persons who are not
easily poisoned by ivy or sumac who
can be employed to remove the plants,
but with the exercise of proper care
almost anyone may undertake the
work without mourning injury.
Overalls and heavy gauntleted
gloves should be worn for protection
while engaged in the work. Care
should be taken in handling shoes
and all articles OF clothing that have
come in contact with the plants, as
the poison adheres to them and may
make them possible source Of harm
for an indefinite period.
The parts of the plants above
ground are readily killed by spraying
with strong brine g pounds of salt to
a gallon of water), but additional
sprayings are necessary to kill the
new shoots that arise from the root
stock. A better method, especially
for killing vines on fence posts and on
trees, is to cut tho poison ivy below
the ground and then saturate the
soil around the cut bases Of the plants
with salt brine.
Valuable eradication hints, as we'll

plants and the treatment for their

Wash the birds legs we'll with

allowing them to soak for minute.
then return the bird to the roost. Re.
peat the treatment every three or
four days until the scales are removed
Oil OF caraway used in the same man
ner is also very effective. To prevent
the disease. spray the roosts. dropping
boards, and all nearby cracks aud
crevices thoroughly and often so as to
keep them free from mites. Examine
the birds shanks occasionally. and if
any signs Of scaly leg appear. rub the
places well with oil, as before
directed. to prevent the disease from
developing.

Acid Removes Stain on Zinc

Zinc darkens with use, but may
be frightened by the use of scourers.
Zinc on floors, under stoves, and in
like places, should be secured with
bath-brick and kerosene. washed and
rinsed with water. and wiped dry.
Zinc on tables. or wherever likely to
come in contact with food, should
be secured with bath-brick and water
Acid. as in vinegar or lemon juice
may be used to remove stains on
Zinc. but should be thoroughly
washed off; otherwise. the zinc will
tarnish again very soon.

DRY TIN THOROUGHLY

For ordinary care, tin utensils
should be washed in hot soapy water,
rinsed in hot clear water, and dried
thoroughly. A tin utensil that has
food dried on it should be covered
with a weak soda solution, heated for
few minutes, and then. washed.
Scraping scratches tin and may expose
the iron or steel surface underneath
which may rust. Tin darkens with
use, and this tarnish protects the
tin: therefore tin utensils should
not be secured simply for the sake
OF making them bright.

the kitchen sink may sometimes need
a stronger ceanser, even If 1t is thor
oughly cleaned and flushed after each
dishwashing, and for this purpose
caustic potash is efficacious, but must
be used carefully-the hands must be
protected and the potash must not be
allowed to touch porcelain or porce-
lain>lined sinks. because it may de-
stroy the glaze. One pound of crys-
tails dissolved in quarts Of water
should be poured down the drain.
About half an hour later the pipe
should be flushed with clear water.
Caustic soda, although sometimes
recommended, Is not desirable, be-
cause it is likely to unite with the
grease and form a hard soap. that is
difficult to remove from the pipes.
Fine scourers may be used on all
fixtures. For porcelain and enameled
iron fixtures kerosene and whiting are
especially good; the kerosene cuts the
grease and the whiting supplies the
abransion. Some of the commercial
cleaning preparations used for enam-
eled and porcelain fixtures contain
scourer SO gritty that they scratch
the surface, and thus make the work
Of cleaning gradually harder. Nothing
coarser than whiting should be al
lowed.
Bathroom fixtures should be
cleaned daily. Tubs and bowls
should be scrubbed with q fine
scourer or with water containing
little kerosene, rinsed with clear hot
water and wiped dry. The stains
made by water containing an excess
Of iron may be removed from porce-
lain or porcelain-lined tubs and bowls
with oxalic-acid solution, which is
poison and must be entirely washed
of. The overflow pipes should be
flushed occasionally with hot water,
for dirt and grease are likely to col
lect and decompose there.
The woter-closet should be kept
scrupulously clean. "A daily cleaning
is necessary The bowls should be
flushed. washed with hot soapsuds or
soda solution, and a long-handle-
brush. and flushed again. Then the
seat. the cover, the chain. and the
handle should be washed and wiped.
All cloths and utensils used in clean
ing the bathroom should be scalded
and dried. preferably in the open air.
The crust Of lime which is some
times deposited by hard water can be
removed from porcelain and porcelain
lined fixtures with hydrocholoric acid.
This acid is very poisonous and is
also injurious to the skin and to many
materials. including the metals used
in plumbing. 1t must. therefore. be
handled with extreme care. Gloves
should be worn when using 1t. Tol
clean the bowl OF the closet, bail out
as much water as possible, pour In
about a pint Of commercial hydro
chloric acid sometimes called mauri-
attic acid), and let this stand for
several hours, or until the crust crum'
bles when poked with a stick. Then
flush with large quantity Of water.
The water in the tank is not enough;
more must be poured in by hand IN
order to dilute the acid and carry
! It away rapidly. In porcelain
lined sink or bathtub the acid must
not be allowed to stand on the soiled
earthenware. because 1t may get
through to the metal underneath and
eat that away. 1t must, therefore,
be applied drop by drop to the lime
and flushed out with plenty OF water
as soon as the crust begins to crumble
when pressed.
