The division of soils of the United
States Department of Agriculture has
Just described Il new instrument now
in use for investigating the properties
of soils. This is n great time ana
labor saving apparatus. giving accur-
ate and reliable results which other
wise would require III .hths to obtain.
The physical properties of soils are
recognized by plant Psychologists to
be of the greatest Importance in plant
economy. Even in the consideration
of climatic conditions it is now gen
orally considered that for most plants
the conditions of the soil hold equal
rank with atmospheric conditions. a
high temperature in the soil under ia
vorable conditions promotes extensive
root developments; a high atmospheric
temperature under equally favorable
conditions favors heavy growth of
foliage A deficiency in water of
either air or soil is attended with dis
tress.
The new apparatus as devised by the
division of soil Is an electric affair.
1t registers a half dozen or more va
rious soil properties. This method de-
pends upon the principle that the re-

A UNIVERSAL FOOD.
Following Natures Footsteps

81 have boy, two years old, weighing
forty pounds and in perfect health who

This is an ideal food and evidently
furnishes the elements necessary for a
baby as well as for adults We have
used Grape-Nuts in large quantities and
greatly to our advantage" F. w. Leav-
lit, Minneapolis, MINI.
One advantage about Grape-Nuts Food
is that It is pre-digested in the process
of manufacture; that is. the starch con-
tanned in the wheat and barley is trans
formed into grape-sugar in exactly the
same method as this process is carried
out in the human body, that is by the
use of moisture and long exposure to
moderate warmth, which grows the
diastase in the grains and makes the
remarkable change from starch to grape
sugar. Therefore, the most deiicate
stomach can handle Grape-Nuts and the
food. is quickly absorbed into the blood
and tissue, certain parts of it going d.
rectly to building and nourishing the

IN MEMORY OF EVANS
BAR ASSOCIATIONS OF TWO CORN
TIES MEET TO Do HIM
HONOR
MANY WORDS OF EULoG1UM
Distinguished Lawyers Review the
Life and Character of Late Dis
trict Attorney and Adopt
Resolutions.

The Ramsey and Hennepin County Bar
associations held memorial services for
the late Robert G. Evans yesterday aft
ernoon, and distinguished lawyers who
had known Mr.. Evans long and intimate
~, paid loving tribute to his memory
The meeting was held at the federal
building in Minneapolis, and was presid-
ed over by Judge William Lochren. At
the time of Mr. Evans death Judge Loeb
rem appointed committees from both bar
associations to arrange a joint memorial
service and to draw up fitting reSolu-
lions When Judge Lochren called the
meeting to order Judge Henry C. Belden
read the following memorial prepared by
the committee:
To the Honorable the Judges of the
Circuit Court of the United States for
District of Minnesota: The committee of
the bar, appointed to present to the court
a memorial touching the life and charac-
ter of Robert G. Evans, the attorney for
the United States for the district of Min
pesota, who died on Aug. Is, 1901, beg
leave to submit the following minute and
move that it be spread on the records of
the court:
Mr.. Evans began his professional career
in Indiana, and soon took a prominent
place among the young members of the
bar. Desiring to enter a wider field, he
removed to Minneapolis in 1884, where his
ability and industry won him speedy rec
ognition. From his early boyhood he was
attracted to public affairs, AMI gave much
time and thought to the study of political
questions, particularly those involving
the general government. His work and
capacity were such that for time he
was a member of the national committee
of the party with which he was affiliated
His ideals in politics were marked by the
sterling quality of honesty. He yielded
no principle for gain, and neither sought
nor obtained advancement for himself or
pointed United States attorney for this
district by President Mckinley in 1882
without solicitation, and continued to
hold the office until his DEATH executing
it's duties with signal ability and judg-
rnent. Early this year he was a candi-
date for senator from this state. He was
defeated, but his manly and upright con-
test was model of political partisanship,
and won the respect and admiration both
of friend and opponent.
AS a lawyer, Mr.. Evans belonged dis
tinctly to the class whose dealings are
founded solely on loyalty and honor. He
adopted the most eXacting standard OF
of personal loss or gain could induce him
to depart from the high path he had
marked for himself His professional
work was characterized by careful prep
aration and sound practical sense; his
counsel favored equitable adjustment
rather than litigiouS victory. His cour-
age, vigor and learning made him for
midable adversary in the court room, yet
his zeal for his cause never led him to
overstep the limits of courtesy to his
brethren or fidelity to the court.
He had an amiable and attractive per-
sonality. His temperament was genial,
his manner open and sympathetic.

ter passing between shelves of books,

Mr. Warren Upham, the secretary, has
his office This portrait gallery is by far
the most interesting feature to be found
in the society's rooms. Here are to be
found the portraits of the men who made
Minnesota H. H. Smelling and Capt.

her day. Here also is Gabriel Franchere,

she was compelled to forego the pleasure
of winning a replevin suit, in which she
made effort to show that George W.

SEWERS HAMPER WORK
SITE OF NEW JAIL Is HONEY
COMBED WITH THEM.

At an adjourned meeting of the coun-
ty commissioners to be held tomorrow
morning, Architect Donohue, who is over
seeing the construction of the county jail,
will report on the old sewers which hon.
eycomb the site. 1t is likely that he will
ask for the appropriation of a sum OF
money with which to close them up.
The appropriation, if given would be
charged to extras, and as the expen-
ditures of late have been largely "ex-
tras.'' adding heavily to the original cost
of the building, it is not unlikely that
protest will be entered by some of the
members and an attempt made to defeat
the measure.
Some of the members hold that the e7r
istence of these sewers should have been
made known before. The construction OF
the jail and the foundation of the Jail
was taken for lump sum, and they hold
that extras at this time are out of place.
