IL any dealer informs you that he has for
sale dentifrce identical with or containing in
gradients equaling or superior In efficacy to
those of SozoDoNT, discredit the statement and
insist upon having that alone. By doing so
you will secure dentifrce par excellence the
best in the market, containing botanic elements
of rare preservative influence upon the teeth,
and one which will endow them with most be-
coming whiteness. Another desirable feature
of this staple toilet article Is that 1t imparts
fragrance to the breath. Sold by druggists.

KITCHEN WASTE.

1t is asserted that nearly as much is wasted
in American kitchens as is squaudered in
American saloons. This is startling, view
of kitchen waste, and though it does not in
volve the criminal wrong doing so often con-
nection with saloon matters, such abuse and
waste are highly censurahle as they are I'M
necessary. Cooking schools are being es-
tablished in some of the cities, to teach econ
omy and housewifely attainments in culinary
affairs. The mistress of household should
not only be good cook and an economical
manager herself, but she should give her
realm peronal and careful attention, and guide
all under her to proper discharge Of their
duties. 1t is no discredit for the mistress of
household to be toiler or director in the
kitchen, or for the daughters to become ex-
perts in domestic labors, except in the eyes
OF frivolous uptertendom. The discreet
housewife, who does not shirk and turn her
responsibilities over to NEGLIGENT and wasteful
servants, but personally sees to, and guides
her own affairs, is priceless treasure to any
household, and often opens the way ior her
husband TO secure fortune, OF, at any rate, sue
cess in driving abiect poverty and want from
the door.

in 1925 and came to Minnesota in 1879. when %
years OF age. She had married Gov. Ramsey
five years previous and upon his being appointed
Governor of Minnesota accompanied him 10 his
western residence and this city has been her
home ever since, embracing q period OF thirty
five years. Besides her husband. an only child
Mrs. Chas. Furniss. ami her brother j. r. jerks
ESQ, are the immediate surviving relatives.
With the exception OF the twelve years which
Senator Ramsey served in the Senate st Wash
ington and the short period that he was a mem
Der of the Cabinet, Mrs. Ramsey's residence has
been in st. Paul. In public life she proved most
graceful and accomplished. and was a material
aid in her husbands political preferment She
adorned every circle in which she moved, and
though the Official station Of Gov. Ramsey
brought her into public life. II was
in the private and home circle where
she was at her best, and where she leaves only
kind and loving memories. very literal piou-
eer in western life, she took an sctive part in
every good work for the development OF the To-
eality where she resided. md the earlier settlers

reavement. Gov. Ramsey has the deep sym
pathy of the community, sympathy based upon

cided whether TO rebuild or moi. John w.
Norton lost wardrobe and library, valued at
$40. 900, and will be rendered a benefit at
the Olympic theatre next week. 1t is pro-
posed to sell the boxes and seats by auction
on Dec. /. As to the engagement of Clara
Morris, who was due at the Grand next week,
it is uncertain where she will play, but there
is not much doubt that way viii be made for
Ler at some one of our theatres There is
very general sympathy expressed here for
Manager Norton. Il may be that two hene-
ut performances viii be rendered him, one
by the Eks, of which he is a member, and
the other by the dramatic profession. The
first will probably take place at the Olympic
theatre during the week Of Dec. S-13, and I
hear that Margaret Mather's manager and
Nat Goodwin have both given orders to bid
as high as $500 for box at next MONDAYS
auction. Some of the stars booked for the
Grand Opera house viii probably be played
at the Olympic, and others, besides Good
win, at the Casino. Among the former, nc
doubt, viii be Ristori, Clara Morris, Fanny
Davenport, Lawrence Barrett, Rhea, Aimee,
Lolita aud Emma Abbott unless it shall be
deemed advisable to regard the engagement
of some of them as Cancelled. The Grand,
it is understood, had all its dates filed TO the
close of the season.
