Dentistry Without Pain.

I have at last solved the problem of
preparing teeth for filing with no
pain. This is done by the recently
discovered electric instrument which
is simple, scientific and painless, and
is applied to the tooth with no dis
comfort to patient, but allows me to
cut out the cavity, or remove the
nerve, without least pain. As you
know, l also extract teeth without
pain.
My Bossier friends and patients
will find me at the same stand.

Sugar Beets.

Secretary of Agriculture Wilson will
experiment with sugar beets in this
state. The director of the state ex-
pertinent station at ST. Anthony Park
will have charge of the distribution of
the seed to Minnesota farmers and will
be furnished with sufficient quantity
for the purpose. Not more than five
farmers in each county will be selected
to grow the stock. The secretary of
agriculture has sent circular letter to
the director of the station in each of
the states selected for the experiment,
requesting a report as to the probable
amount of seed required, suitability of
the soil in the various counties for the
growth of the sugar beet and other
data, and as soon as these reports are
received the seed will be ready for dis
tribution.

from whom during the season she had
often purchased wells and ribbons seat

nets which had been ordered for the
winter.

It'll be more mixing then ever, for I

"Mrs. Foster. she played me real

pew she'd sit in and all about it. So
fixed it up with ribbon that I'd only
used once, and that was on Metho-

tain unimpaired and unimpeached the
honor and the reputation for good faith
and fair dealing of our state.'' From
these premises he argued that the COM
mission to select the site was duly au-
thorized by law, and its acts were
therefore the acts of the state. They
had purchased the Anoka site and the
citizens of Anolza had voluntarily con-
tributed $4,000 to aid in that pur-
chase. The action of the comm ission
was approved by the district court of
Ramsey county and this decision was
affirmed by the supreme court. The
Legislature investigated and found
nothing improper or illegal had been
done by the commission. The bill
purchasing the Hastings site would
annul the work of the commission and
besides, as Anoka has already received
SIS, 900, 1t would involve another ex-
penditure of a similar sum which in
view of the hard times is not wise.
For these reasons the governor refused
his signature. The bill was made the
special order for next Tuesday after
noon when an effort will be made in
the house to pass it over the Veto
The bill passed the house original
~ by six less than two-thirds vote,
and that will not be sufficient to pass it
over the governors objections. The
general belief now is that it will fail
of passage. The senate had two more
than two-thirds, but the house must
keep ell it has and gain six more.
Unless the house does the bill will
never reach the senate.

Emil Lund. a laborer employed at the
Woodwork elevator at Minneapolis,
was suffocated while working in bran
bin. 1t was in the province of his du-
ties to go down into bran bin to clear
the fues whenever they should become
clogged. The day of his death he was
called upon to attend to a fue, and he
descended ladder into the bin. The
bran, in the meantime, continued to
run from above into the bin. Lund
stepped off the ladder and sank in the
soft bran, and before he could be res
cued was covered by that coming from
above. Another workman witnessed
the accident. but the running stream
could not be stopped in time to prevent
Lund from meeting his death by suffo-
cation.
