The common cup or glass at Ind. ana soda fountains and lemouad 1 stands must go. unless hot water is used to wash and sterilize it, according to a decree issued by 11. fe. Barnard, state food and drug commission er. Unless the glasses are washed in hot running water, sanitary cups must be used and each cup used only once. Instructions also have been sent out to keep straws used at soda fountains in containers which wili protect them from dust and dirt. Could this have happened anywhere vise than in Kansas? In a discussion of the anti-screen law recently passed by the Missouri legislature, only two students out of twelve in a journalism class at the University of Kansas knew what a saloon screen was. On of these is registered from Missour', in another class of eleven senior men . nly two had never been in a saloon. ■‘l believe this percentage is true ci the other 1,500 men students of the university,” says Prof. Marie Thorpe of the department of Jounl.ilisni. It locks like Marion is to have a wet and dry election. A petition is being circulated by the saloon element for signatures. This petition, when

signed by a sufficiently large number of people will be presented io tin county commissioners, asking them to order an election and set a day for the holding of it. It will require in the neighborhood of 1,200 signatures; to equal the 20 per cent of the vote cast at the last preceding general election to secure favorable action at the hands of the commissioners. Marion Chronicle. The census bureau Tuesday ar. pounced that in 1913 more than half of all the deaths in the registration area of the United States—about sixty-five per cent of the total population —were due to nine causes. They were tuberculosis, heart di' ease, diarrhoea, cancer, apoplexy, diphtheria, croup and typhoid fever. The first three alone were responsible for more than thirty per cent of the mortality. In 1913 the deatii rate from these nine causes was 810.4 per 100.000 population. This was a decrease from a rate of 937.4 per 100,000 in 1910. ✓ Hundreds of wild ducks are dying throughout the Sandusky hay marsh district. Death, according to Deputy Game Warden Crossley, who conducted an investigation, is due to overeating. The ducks, which are more numerous now than they have been for years, apparently were hungry when they arrived. They found fish ; ;awn plentiful and apparently gobbled it down. They ate so much and ■o fast that their digestive organs were unable to take care of what they ate and the spawn formed balls rs hard as rocks in the half-dozen fowls that Crossley examined. Fifty ducks were found in one place near Venice. Homer L. Cook, secretary of state, has announced that all copies of th? acts of the 1915 legislature, which are distributed freely from his office to citizens of the state, other than county officers, empowered by law to distribute the books, will cost fifty cents a copy. Postage .will be add. .1 to this price when the books are to be shipped outside of Indianapolis or by mail in that city. The books ar to be sold for the first time by the secretary of state, because of a ruling of the attorney general. County officers, however, will be allowed to distribute them free of charge to parties for whom provision is made, such as lawyers, public officers, etc.

CHEERY FELLOW IS CHIPMUNK Little Animal Does No Harm and la Only Persecuted Through Thoughtlessness. Os all the squirrel tribe, the chipmunk Is the most common. He seems to have a fondness for civilization which the others lack, and delights to bo near mankind. Ah a result, and because of his confiding and fearless nature, this little squirrel may often be found quite near to the house, or, if you happen to be In the woods, he will investigate your lent with inquisitive nose and pattering feet. Unlike the other squirrels, the chipmunk, hackee or ground squirrel, as he is variously called, is far more at home upon the ground than in the treetops; in fact, he will rarely ascend a tree if it is possible to avoid it Perhaps tins is because he is not equipped with the bushy tail that the tree-lov-ing squirrels use as a combination rudder and balancing pole. The burrow of the chipmunk is a rather curious affair. The main tunnel or entrance often extends iuto the ground for three feet or more, at which point side chambers usually branch oft; in one of these side chambers the chipmunk makes his winter nest, the others being used as storage places for provisions, often a bushel or more of nuts and grains being stored therein for winter consumption. All of these provisions are carried to the nest in the curious cheek pouches of the little animal; in the late autumn chipmunks may be seen darting about with these pouches so distended with their cargo as to make the little fellows look as if afflicted with an epidemic of mumps. When he considers bis larder sufficiently stocked, the chipmunk retires to his nest for the winter. His little birdlike tracks on the snow in even the coldest weather prove that he ventures abroad occasionally, for exercise at least. If you dig down into his burrow in the dormant season you are apt to find from two to six of the little fellows curled up snugly in the one nest—a situation never found in the homes of the other squirrels. The chief enemies of the chipmunks are the small boy with stick and a.r rifle, the weasel, tlie hawk ana the owl. The worst of these, however, -.3 the small boy. The chipmunk may not be of any value as a destroyer of animal or vegetable pests, but he is nevertheless a cheery, harmless little fellow, who makes the woods bright with his happy, chirping cry and the patter of his tiny feet. Money Made Out of Peanuts. In Farm and Fireside Harry B. Potter writes a suggestive article entitled, "Why Not Grow Nuts?” in the course of which he describes the various nut crops grown in the United States and the profits to be made out of them, in regard to the peanut he writes in part as follows:

"The second most important nut in the United States is the peanut. Scientifically the peanut is a pea, and not a nut. But popular opinion has classed it as a nut because of its flavor. Like the English walnut, the peanut didn't become important until about 1870, though it had been known for a long time before "The peanut is now grown all through the southern half of the United States, and the 20,000,000 bushels raised in 1909 (last census) were worth about $18,000,000 The popularity of peanuts is due to the ease of shucking and the low retail price. The early age at winch the American public learns to love this nut also helps to explain perhaps its remarkable popularity.” Preferred Her Pie in Pieces. There was a rush from the train to a nearby restaurant, for refreshments, and, as usual, the men arrived first. When the one woman entered, she saw and heard the transactions where pie was bought for ten cents a quarter She desired a whole pie to take back to a party of friends, so she asked: ‘‘How much for a pie?” “Sixty cents,” was the glib reply. “I’ll take the four pieces of this one, ’ she said calmly, laying down four dimes The restaurant man hesitated, out three things caused him to come io the hasty conclusion that he had better cut the pie. The three things were, the set of the woman's chin, the sound of her voice, and the suppressed laughter of his customers. She took up her pie—in pieces, saying in the same businesslike tone: “Thank you —my knife was dull.” War Makes Dogs Homeless. The annual British dog tax of $1.85, whii h fell due on New Year's day, has sot an unusual number of dogs adrift. The reason is the war, with so many men at the front and so many dependents behind. English people are extremely sentimental in regard to animals, and the protecting act passed three years ago imposes a maximum fine of SIOO or six months’ imprisonment on any one convicted of abandoning a dog. This year, the sentimental feeling for the homeless dogs tias taken the form of appeals to the press for individuals to raAsom the dogs and give them to the troops as mascots, and also of printed leaflets, which have been scattered among householders, pleading with owners not to turn their pets into the street. A Blunderer. “Doppel is not tactful.” "Not at all. If he knew a man was fleeing to Canada to avoid arrest Hoppel is the sort <>t person who would advise aim to sea America first.'' ,
