Consider the injustices of the pres
ent system on the one hand. and the
men who ought but do not correct them.
In one congressional district where 254
persons were consulted only eight could
be found who could be reckoned on the
moral side of politics. Imagine the
heart of that school teacher or editor,
cold as Northwest blizzard, who fully
understands why thousands Of families
are helplessly ruined by the present
system, but who say, Don't quote me,
I have a wife and family to think
about" or, "The laboring people get all
they deserve, II they don't like it let
them move on;" or, Don't be misled
into small side party, go back into
one of the old parties" There are fus-
ion Mid-Roaders who dare talk so.
Posing as Mid-Roaders they go into
MidRoad caucuses to get control, and
these would turn us into fusion COM
bination. It Is exactly the same old
cry of both old parties that they use,
If Populists had only remained in tho
old parties we could have controlled
them" The place for such reformers
is back with the old parties, where they
can adopt the Democratic platform with
Bryan for president, or the Republican
party If they prefer. Zeke Austin has
kindly assisted us in showing to the
public who some fusion Mid-Roaders
on our county committee are by leaving
them there when he decapitated the

Rogton,g Lone Figherwoman.

From the Boston Herald.
Boston has a lone hsherWoman- The
many hundreds of passengers on the fer
ries for the past few days have seen her
sitting man fashion. on the end of an
eXpectantly in her hand and with her
eyes fixed on the water directly beneath
her. She scarcely ever looks up ana
seems Indifferent to the stares of the
people on passing boats.
She enjoys the distinction of being the
only woman among the many fishermen
who fringe the edges of Boston's wharves
from sunrise until sunset. She comes to
the wharf almost daily at an early hour,
with a small basket. She does not go
home to dinner. but eats d light lunch
con which she brings with her Fishing
is by no means simply a pleasure with
her. To a reporter she said her fishing
partly supported herself and her two lit
tie children.
I am not ashamed of my occupation"
she went on to say. All kinds of weather
finds me on the wharf In the morning

children to school and then / come down
on the wharf and fish never suffer
any annoyance. The men who cast their
greatest respect.
How much do / get for my fish? Well,
as three cents apiece for good-sized
founders. My neighbors are my best Gus
toners.
The conversation was interrupted by a
slight shivering of the line quick
jerk. a series of hand over hand motions
and presently a big FOUNDER was thrown
upon the wharf. With much skill the
fisherwoman pulled the hook from the
gills of the founder and threw the fish
into the partly filled basket.
Business is pretty good today. she
said with a smile. Every thing, YOU
know. depends upon luck in this bust
ness. l have sat here some days for
hours without getting much as nib
Bile. while those sitting beside me pulled
wet weather does not brighten me in
the least In fact, I enjoy it, for the fish
bite better.
Il would advise very poor persons to
take to fishing. With a bent hook and
two cents worth of line one can get
enough fish for food. Boston Harl1or IS
filed with several kinds of fish, and they
are good eating. Fish bite at all hours.
so one need not be afraid Of the store

long as the wharfinger doesn't get cross
the fishermen should be contented-

which he hoped would give some relief
until the doctor should arrive In few
hours he returned, saying the doctor need
not come, as the child was much better.

The Scalp
Microbe.
A Famous Partisan BacteriOlOgist Has
Discovered the MicrObe Which
Destroys the Human Hair.
Badness CAN BE PREVENTED.
Falling Hair, Dandruf, Itching Scalp
and 9th Diseases of the Hair
and Scalp Cured by This
Wonderful Discovery

The scalp microbe has been discovered
1t is as deadly to the hair the grub
to the tree or shrub.
1t works, like it, in the dark.
1t eats the root.
1t kills the growth.
1t is worse than all other disease mi
crobes because it attacks the very found
alton of the part it feeds on.
The first sign of trouble is dandruff, or
scaly scalp.
The germ or microbe works under the
skin of your scalp, and interrupts its
nourishment.
The skin dies and peels off.
The hair root withers. The hair becomes
dry. harsh, brittle and perhaps turns
gray.
Or. if it is not deeply rooted. it falls
out before it has time to turn gray.
And the cause of it all is the pernicious
microbe working away night and day al
the roots Of your hair.
But a short time ago all this was not
understood.
Not until Dr. E. Fahrig. Professor of
Chemistry and Doctor of Science. OF
Paris. discovered the actual microbe. did
scientists know that it was a germ that
caused falling hair and badness.
Not until he perfected the formula f
Cranitonic Scalp and Hair Food. n
from his directions in Paris and \
York was it known how to destroy l.
microbe.
All hair tonics. stimulants. reviewers, in
vigorators, etc, have heretofore had for
their chief end the stimulation of the hair
follicles, which in the long could not
fail to weaken the vitality of the hair.
Cranitonic Scalp and Hair Food. as pre-
pared, according TO the formula. of DR..
Fahrig, is the only preparation which
ATTACKS and DESTROYS the hair mi
crobe and at the same time affords
NOURISHMENT TO the weakened scalp
and hair follicles.
1t is cleansing. refreshing. strengthen
ing. has no sticky sediment and does not
irritate the scalp nor unduly stimulate
the nerves Of the head.
1t prevents badness.
1t strengthens weak hair.
1t makes hair grow.
1t makes brittle. coarse and harsh hair
silky and lustrous.
1t is not greasy. but pure. clear, spark
ling and win not soil the finest fabrics
1t is not a dye. but a pure, pleasant
toilet article that is perfectly free from
all injurious, stimulating drugs

of the questions in the examination today

know that is easy. 1t is d dismal ex-
perience this giving out of power The

NEEDS MORE WHITEWAsH.
Secretary Jackson Finds Jail Inhab-
tied by Insects.

Secretary Jackson, secretary of the
state board of corrections and charities,
has completed another inspection of the
Ramsey county Jail, with the result that
that well patronized institution stands
no better in the public eye than it did on
a previous occasion when visited by Mr.
Jackson. One Improvement notable, how
ever, is the industry on the part of some
of the inmates in pursuing the vermin
which infest the institution. The cracks
in the walls are faVorite stamping grounds
for the craWlers, and wherever there is
an aperture in a board will be found a
happy family. The inmates have discov-
cred this, and have, with the aid of a
lighted candle, dislodged large number
The walls were recently whitewashed
but wherever a crack is, there can be
seen long sooty mark made by the can
die that is directed so successfully to-
ward the determination of the species
Another coat Of whitewash has been rec
commended.
The most important criticism to be made
on the institution, however, is the little
distinction that is made between prisoners
of various ages and classes They are
thrown in common, and the evil is great
er than if there was danger of collapse
of the building, so Mr.. Jackson asserts

STATISTICS OF MANUFACTURES
Are Taken From General Enumera-
ton in Eastern Cities.

1t is optional with the director Of the
census whether the statistics Of manu-
features are taken by special agents or
compiled from the schedules of the reg
uIar enumerators. In Eastern cities gen
orally special agents have not been en-
ployed, as the industries have not chang
cd or expanded as they have in the
west. The law places no limit on the
time for gathering these statistics further
than the general requirement that they
shall be published in book form by July
1, 1902
Supervisor Vanish now expects all coun-
try districts will be covered within the
limit with the exception of one, in which
some extra difficulties in the way of ig-
norance and suspicion have been encoun-
tered. The country folk think the emu
merator is going to disclose the extent
OF their possessions to the assessor, and
consequently hold back full information.
In about a week verification of sched-
uIes of enumerators will be completed.
and all will be forwarded to Washington
with vouchers for their pay All the de-
lay in the matter of pay is that caused
by enumerators who have been slow in
completing their schedules.

Food Commissioner Bowler to En-
force Law Against Them.
Maj. J. NJ Bowler, state dairy and
food commissioner, will shortly institute
an action to have the courts pass upon
what constitutes injurious ingredients In
baking powder.
The new law requires manufacturers of
baking powder to print on their packages
the complete formula of the powder. and
further provides that any manufacturer
using ingredients injurious to public
health in the manufacture of baking
powder is guilty of misdemeanor. It
has been frequently asserted that alum
IS an Injurious substance, and several
other adulterants have also been placed
under the ban. Maj Bowler will submit
chemical analysis for the court to pass
upon.
Maj. Bowler has been the object of at
tack by trade paper that asserted that
he was endeaVoring to turn the dairy de-
partment into a health bureau in the in
terests of companies that do not use al
UNI. Maj. Bowler stated yesterday that
the only part that he had in the matter
was to submit chemical analysis, and
the courts. ANA not the department.
would decide upon the injurious qualities
of alum.

DOUBTERS
Gan Be Changed by knowledge.

If there is any doubt about making brain
power by the use of certain food, the
doubter should make the foIlowingCexperi-
ment.
Helen Frances Huntington, of Gaines
vile, Ca, says: Just a word of COM
mendation concerning Grape-Nuts, which
l have found to be the most wholesome,
nourishng and appetizing food that has
ever come to my knowledge.
81 am not a dyspeptic, but being con-
stantly engaged in severe brain work 1
found that 1 did not thrive on ordinary
diet; even moderate dinner dulled my
brain so as to be practically incapable of
critical work. tried meat juice, pep
tonoids, the two-meaI system of light
breakfast and no supper, which brought
on nervous depletion and sleeplessness, so
I resorted to one and another of the va
rious health foods, which all seemed alike
tasteless and valueless as brain food,
until quite by chance 1 had dish of
Grape-Nuts food served as dessert l
liked it so we'll that l began to use it
daily, for supper four teaspoonfuls in a
saucer of hot milk, eaten before it dis
solves to mush1ness.
This point should be remembered as.
after certain time, evaporation seems to
effect the sweet nutty flavor of the food
as in the case Of certain fine-fiavored
fruits.
The result in my case was simply as
tonishing. had no desire whatever for
sweet pastry, meats, or in fact anything
else; and my brain was as clear and active
at night as on awaking from long, re-
freshing sleep.
The peculiar advantage about Grape
Nuts food is that it supplies the nutritive
qualities of varied diet without the bad
results Of heavy eating. 1 cheerfully rec
ommend its use to all brain workers, if
not as an exclusive diet, certainly for the
last meal of the day. | always take it
