which Judge Thornell presided, was an ex
ceedingly heavy one, and the Judge expects

that he will take Judge Thornell's place

Thursday by the county supervisors the

ably today. Instead of convening the
first day of the term the grand Jury will
not be summoned to appear until Monday
of next week.
The January term promises to be a heavy
one. Seventy new cases have been dock
eted and there Is a large number remain
ing over from the last term. Whether the
third trial of the famous Doyle-Burns min

OWA FIGHTS TUBERCULOSIS
State Board of Control Perfects
Elaborate Plans for Work.
LECTURES THROUGH EVERY CITY
A. K. Kenford Emnloveil n Snrrxl
Knovrledite- Concerning: Disease
and Kffeetlre Means of
Preventing It.
K"rom a Staff Correspondent.) '
DE8 MOINK8. Jan. 6. (Special.) The
real work of redeeming Iowa from the
plague of tuberculosis la Just begun. A.
K. Kepford, employed by the State Board
of Control, la now busy laying out the
plan of campaign and completing the de
tails of the scheme. Iowa Is the pioneer
state In the woHk end physicians and per
sons Interested In Hie, matter generally are
watching the success of the plan.
1 ntll the state' wfis induced to pass an
appropriation for the work. Mr. Kenford,
working for the State Society for the Study
and Prevention of Tuberculosis, was unable
to do anything but travel about the state
lecturing. It was necessary for the society
to pay its way as It went and for that
reason it was necessary for Mr. Kepford
to raise enough out of each lecture to pay
his salary anil expenses and the expense
of mailing, out literature on tuberculosis
This prevented any systematic work. Now,
as the salaried agent of the state, Mr.
Kepford and the members of the Hoard
of Control have planned to do such thor
ough and systematic work that the whole
people of the state will be educated to
the means of eradicating the disease.
Work to Re "ystematle.
It is the plan Instead of making one
lecture in a city to make several. In order
to reach all the people of a city and the
campaign will first be conducted through
the cities of the state, It will be necessary
to reach all the clubs, fraternal societies,
women's societies, churches. Young Men's
Christian associations and Young Woman's
Christian associations and the like. The
campaign will he systematic in the ex
treme. The lectures will he free and there
will be a series of three. The first will be
on the extent and dangers of the disease,
then a stereoptlcon lecture showlnir In
concrete form the ravages of the dlseane
and finally an Instructive lecture on the
treatment and care of the putlent. The
Board of Control and Mr. Kenford find
that one lecture or any number of a series
lectures delivered In a city are not
sufficient, for they do not reach at the
best more than l,0nn people nt each lecture.
But by addressing every fraternal organi
zation, every church, the women s clubs
and the like, practically everyone Is thus
reached. Then it Is proposed to follow
these lectures with one big meeting, at
which a city organization will be formed
to fight the battles.
Specific Caaes lnveatlsated.
With the formation of the city organiza
tion the work will only he fairly well
started. It Is proposed through this rlty
organization to engage a visiting nurse,
to secure the name and address of every
person In the city who is afflicted with
tuberculosis and to have tills nurse from
time to time visit these people and In as
diplomatic manner ns siblc outline to
them the way In which they should trea
the rilseHse. If it is found that their condi
tions and environments are unsanitary to
advise them and see to It that t lie evils
are corrected. Through tills city organiza
tion and the visiting nurse and the aroused
public sentiment that Is secured it is pro.
posed to distribute literature treating of
the disease. This literature will be given
only to persons known to be afflicted with
tho trouble. Willi the litetature In their
Stomach and Bowel Troubles
Here is hii rxi client prescription for
any one suffering from any sort of stom
ach or bowel trouble, t'tct from the drug
store nne-iUH rt. r ounce of fluid extrjet of
boneset, one-half ounce of fluid txtruct
of w ild yam, one ounce of cum . iitrar il
l.eeto compound, (distributed by Young
Drug Co., Newark X. .1 ). and two anil one.
quarter ounces of compound syrup of
rhiihard. Mix and shake well, line tea.
sntonful In h half glass of water should
he taken before each meal and at jedtlme.
A prominent physician has used this pre
scription with marieliius results In cuses
of Indigestion, gatrltls, catarrh of the
stomach and bowels, dyspepsia, colic, loss
of appetite. Inflammation of the howi la,
diarrhoea, peritonitis, etc.
These Ingredients ran be secured separ

hand and the advise of a trained nurse
and able physicians available If there is
a desire In the mind of the afflicted person
to recover they will have the best oppor
tunity. Furthermore. It Is proposed through
this aroused public sentiment in each city
to secure city ordinances against splttinir
and other unsanitary habits and conditions
by these means to carry on a relentless
warfare.
Will Reach Small Towns.
While conducting a campaign In a large
city Mr. Kepford will utilize available
tlnio between lecture dates to lecture In
the smaller towns surrounding the city.
Many small villages can be reached ef
fectively In one or two lectures where
several will be necessary In the cities.
It Is in this way that the state pro
poses to carry on Its campaign, and it Is
proposed to do the work so thoroughly
and carefully nnd with the advice of
competent physicians it is believed that
the ravages of the dread tuberculosis can
In time be almost entirely checked and
stamped out. The Investigations of the
Board of Control, through Mr. Kepford,
have led to the discovery that tuberculosis
is to be treated not by the use of medi
cine, but by the elimination of unsani
tary living and the use of proper fooJ.
Perfect sanitation with the use of proper
food' and abundance of fresh air and there
will be no tuberculosis.
Enforce Liquor Lam,
At the next session of the legislature
tlie agitation of the temperance question
may be reduced to the question between
the state marshals' bill and giving the
attorney general a sufficient amount of
funds and assistants so that he can do the
work. It will be remembered that the
state marshals' bill got passed by one
branch of the legislature last winter. The
advocates of the State Marshals club Idea
believe that the next legislature will pass
the bill. .
Members of the legislature believe that
a more effective and far less expensl-e
method could be fpund by giving the at
torney general more funds and . more
helpers. On the first appearance of the
question of law enforcement Attorney
General Byers used all the Influence of
his office to enforce the law. The legis
lature has never given the off.ee any
funds for use of the attorney general In
traveling about the state or for his as
sistants to travel about to try cases and
enforce the law. Nevertheless Mr. Byers
made trips to Davenport and sent Ills two
assistants there to investigate conditions
and start movements that would result In
the saloons living up to the law, nnd
it has been understood all along that he
would start court action to enforce the
law If need be. This has thus far been
unnecessary.
Just now there is an aroused public
sentiment on tho matter and It Is antici
pated that there will not be much call
for the attorney general to start prose
cutions at this time, but it Is suspected
that there may be later on. To provide
for state marshals would entail a great
cost, which the state marshals' law uJ
vocates propose to raise by fees. It is
claimed for the other Idea that at a very
small state expense the enforcement of
the law could be ensured through the at
torney general's office without th" state
taking on the state innrxha.s1 law. in
which so many people find objectionable
features.
Test Pure Food Law.
Is a compound of beef fat and cottonseed
oil an Imitation of lard. The manufac
turers claim that it ' is not and II. 11.
Wright, state food and labor commissioner,
on whom the legislature placed the respon
sibillty of enforcing the pure food laws,
says that It Is. The courts will have to
settle the matter and a suit will be started
within i short time to test the law.
None of the provisions of the pure food
law have yet been tested in tho higher
courts. Tho manufacturers have for the
most part obeyed the law, but some refuse.
The first cose will be somewhat In the
nature of a test case and Mr. Wright Is
looking forward to I lie trial with a ureal
deal of anticipation, because of Hs great
importance.
The sire food law prohibits tne sale of
adulterated articles of food unless branded
with the name amf perc iiIukc of each In
gredient and declares that food shall be
considered adulterated "if It be uu Imita
tion of another article of food."
Right here Is where Commissioner Wright
and the manufacturers of beef fl iind
cottonseed oil clash. These insnufHcturets
claim Hint their stuff is a compound It
sella under various pack ins lumsn names
and they maintain that it la not an Imita
tion of anything but a fund all by Itself
What Is an Initiation f
Commissioner Wright maintains that II
Is an Imitation of lard, made lo look like
lard, sold for lard at tunes and sold to lie
used for all the purposes of which laid Is
used. He claims, therifure. that It la a, di
reel Imitation of lard, no mutter what the
name by which it ia called, and for that
reason proposes to force the manufacturers

It is safe to say that no product, of any kind, enjoys,
more enviable reputation than does this same Blatz Beer of
Milwaukee in markets where it is offered.
Its self-evident honesty of purpose, purity, brilliancy, body
and every other attribute that goes to make a perfect beer are
ever in evidence.

centage of Ingredients. He takes the posi
tion that lemon extract, though It con
sists of a compound of alcohol and lemon
oil, Is not an ImHatlon, but for the pur
poses of the argument. If such a thing as
lemon extract, being In fact an actual ex
tract from lemons, then the stuff sold" con
sisting of alcohol and lemon oil would be
an Imitation.
When the suit comes to trial one of the
strong claims for the state will be that
the purpose and Intention of the law Is to
protect the public and that these various
packing house products made as substi
tutes for lard are sometimes sold In pack
ages labeled by the manufacturer and
sometimes sold from bulk. Therefore It
Is maintained that for the protection of
the public the goods whenever sold should
be labeled, because since It looks like lard
and Is sold for the samo purposes as lard
the public has a right to know what It Is
buying, and when the stuff Is sold from
bulk without a label the public will not
know.
Aldrich cea Completion.
Hon, Charles Aldrich Is one of the happi
est men In the state of Iowa, because he
sees the completion of his life work, the
historical building. Mr. Aldrich lias held
important positions during his lifetime,
being at one time a member of the legis
lature in this state. The closing years
of his life lie devoted to the work of
securing suitable preservation of the bls-
J torical state documents and other hlstorl-
cal material of Iowa. The department
started with his private collection after
he had secured the consent of tho legis
lature to occupy a small corner of the
state library and work without pay.
Finally the legislature was Induced to
pass an appropriation for a building and
a small wing of this was erected and
occupied by Mr. Aldrich. Now the work
men have Just completed the entire build
ing and the section allotted to the his
torical department has been occupied by
Mr. Aldrich. Mr. Aldrich has been In
feeble health and has nut been in his
office for some days. He Is expected to
reach bis office Monday and will then see
the consummation of his dream of years.

SMEUMATISM
BLOOD FILLED WITH URIC ACID
Rheumatism comes from an fxcrs.t f uric ncid in the Moorl, This arid
circulating through the system act as n initant to the ditfercnt muscles,
nerves, bones and tissues of the lxlv, wni prtMltices the inflammation and
swelling of the joints and the sharp, cutting p.i.ns characteristic of the disease.
When the blood is overburdened with uiic acid it continually gtows weakti

comes chronic, and not only a painful, but a formidable and dangerous disease.
Sometimes the heart is attacked, the general health is affected, and the'oils aj
iluids which lubricate the muscles and joints are destroyed by the acrid matiri
which the blood is constantly depositing in them ; the ruusele9 shrink and lose
iheir elasticity, the coating of the joints becomes hard and thick, and often
the sufferer is left a hopeless cripple. S. S. S. attacks the disease at its head,
