There is growing sentiment in this
country that the measures that have
become so popular in some parts Of
Europe for restricted the practically
unlimited power of legislative bodies
should be adopted here. This is known
as the referendum.
The process of invoking and voting
the referendum is not complicated; it
is employed in the cantons of Switzer-
land, where it has been used for more
than twenty years. When abill has
been passed by the legislature enght
months intervene before it comes oper-
ative, so as to give an opportunity for
the filing of protests against it, and
when the necessary number of citizens
ask it, 10000 in case of a law, it is to
be submitted to the vote of the people
for acceptance or rejection. In such
case the state prints enough copies of

"THE FRENCH SHORE"

Where Misery, Squal0r, Hunger and
Cold Rule in Newfoundland.
Misery, squalor and wretchedness ac-
centuated by an almost :cease!ess strug-
gle with hunger and cold, are the por-
tion of the inhabitants Of the North
Shore" in Newfoundland. Their little
hamlets are perched in the riffs in the
almost unbroken hills and the fierce
storms sweep the surface almost to the
doorsteps of their houses, while for Z
months Of the year their coast is
blockaded with ice and they are cut Oft
from all communication with the out
side world. D.. ..
The only industry is codfishing, and
cod is the sole medium Of exchange.
The people rarely see money, and bar
ter is the system of trading, quinta!
of cod being the unit of value. The
needs Of the fisher folk are only SUP
piled by the itinerant trader, his boat
being loaded with provisions, clothing
and fishing appliances. Thus have
these people lived for generations
They are ignorant, for the means OF ed
ucation are nonexistent, the children
being content with what satisfied their
fathers. The common object of every
day life are unknown to. them. They
have neither horses or cattle. Only a
few Of the older folks that have ven
tured south have any knowledge Of
! these things.
There are no roads, and, therefore,
| no vehicles. Travel is by boat during
| the summer and over the ice foes dur
ing the rest of the year. The few le:-
ters for the clergy and others who can
read are conveyed to the settlement by
| dog teams during the winter, and save
for the fortnightly visit; of the mail

made here. Now we have said that
the consumption Of cigars in Duluth
and vicinity amounts to 100000 per
month. If this number We're produced
at home, it would mean an increased
circulation of $4,000 month in wages
alone, saying nothing of the increased
shop rents, taxes, cost of enlarging
plants and other expenditures, all of
which tend to make a city prosperous.
In requesting you to patronize the local
manufacturers we do not believe that
we are asking you to make any undue
sacrifice, as the quality Of the tobacco
used the workmanship performed will
compare favorably with any goods Of
equal prices produced in any part of
the United States.
This may appear as a broad asser-
ton, but we invite your careful investi-
cation, feeling assured that the truth
Of the above will be demonstrated. In
conclusion, we beg to state that the
object of this circular is not to adver-

brand of cigars, but rather to present
to you few facts, and point out a

the members of both unions are inclin-5

that their differences are purely imag-
mary. We have been before both !.
unions in the interest of harmony. We
perhaps, know their grievances better
than any individual in the city. The.

presumptions1 on the part of one OF

workers, or at least a majority of them,sl

the union responsible for the actions of

Al THE PLAY LAST NIGHT.

There is a class of people who play
a regular gamblers hand with the pro-
grammes of the farce comedy attrac
lions at the opera house. They buy
their tickets just the same as plunger
would buy a bookmaker's bit of card
board issued on the strength of Fly
paper winning out. They more often
lose than win, but those who took
long chance on Whose Baby are Your
at the Crawford last night were well
repaid, at least two to one. The audi
ence, however, was small.
The title of the farce is enough to ruin
it, but despite such an awful cognomen
Mark E. Swans "effervescent ecstacy"
was the best farce comedy seen here this
year, with the exception of THE Wrong
Mr.. Wright" That is saying a good
deal for farce with such a title, but it
is true. The piece is a bit raw in sew
eral places, and should be done a turn
better. 1t is too broadly broad in some
lines, but in 10 way does the humor
of the farce drag for an instant.

good in the baby play. Lloyd Patterson
and Lutte Vrohman gave the right dash
to the parts of the two students. Ger

their parts well The fun in the farce
grows out of the mistake in an address,
and a baby and a young lady both be-
ing named Madge.

GAS AND TROUBLE.
Comes From White Bread.

While it is true that we build up the
body from food, it is also true that diff
ferent kinds of food have different
effects on the body and produce differ
ent results.
For instance, it is absolutely impos-
sible to live on white bread alone. for
it contains almost nothing but starch,
and an excess of white bread produces
gas and trouble in the intestines. while,
at the same time the other elements
required by the body for building up
brain and nerve centers, as well as mus
cular tissue, have been left out of the
white bread, and we see from expert
ence the one trying to live on white
bread alone gradually fails in mental
and nervous power as well as loss in
muscle.
Such a diet could not be kept up long
without fatal results. A lady in jack
sonville, Fla, was crippled by an acct
dent two years ago. Being without the
power of exercise, an old stomach
trouble that was hers for years became
worse, and it was serious question re-
garding food that she could digest
A physician put her on Grape-NutS
Breakfast Food with some remarkable
results. She says now that, not only is
she able to do big days work, because
of the strength of her brain and nerves,
but that she has finally thrown away
her crutches because the muscles of her
limbs have gradually grown stronger
since she began the use of Grape-Nuts,
and now she is practically well and can
go about without trouble, notwfthstand-
ing the fact that it was said she would
never be able to walk again. So much
for eating the right kind of food instead
of remaining an invalid and cripple
because of the lack of knowledge of the
kind of food to use toebring one back to
health Name given on application to
