SCHOOL GIRLS.

It's a pretty age-that time
in a girls life when she has all
the beauties of womanhood
without the later lines of care
and worry.
But here and there even
among school girls appear pale
and drawn faces.
Pale blood is at the bottom
of the trouble and SCOTS
Emulsion can cure it.
SCOTS Emulsion brings
back the beauty to pale girls
because it is blood food.

HERMAN SON HOME
Local Lodge Will Fight For Its
Location Here.
Hospital Committee to Meet in St.
Paul This Month to Discuss the
Subject.

Sons of Herman of Mankato will
put forth strenuous efforts to locate in
this city the home for the aged ..and
INDECENT members of their order and
with this end in view delegation
from the local lodge will meet with
the hospital committee in st. Paul
some time this month and lay pro-
position before it. 1t is understood
that the hospital committee will con-
slider the matter of location of the
home and will make recommends
tion to the grand lodge which will
convene in st. Paul in January. The
committees recommendation will
have considerable influence with the
action of the grand lodge.
The local lodge will be in a position
to offer the present Tourtellotte hos
pital as a home, and it is believed
that this will be something of an in
ducement, and Mankato Sons of Her
man feel that with building alread!
up and 80 pleasantly situated as is TIT
hospital, the grand lodge can hardl.
turn down such .fattering PROPOSE
tion. 1t is very gratifying to tn
Mankato lodge that so many of tn
organizations in the smaller town
throughout the state have expressed
preference for this city as the plac
where the home should be located.
1t is understood that the hospits
building can be procured for the pul
pose indicated, heirs of Col Toul

ed on this subject

that the rate between Fargo an(

be about 40 cents, or even less. Tn
equipment Of the twin city company
which operates exclusively in tn
two cities, is of modern construction
and the best that money can buy, AM
the service there is described as bein

ORDERS TO POLICE
Mayor Petersen Acts in the
Absence of Chief Bowen.
Women Must Not Frequent Winerooms
But SaIoonmen Receive No Word
to That Effect.

In the absence of.Chief Bowen from
the city, Mayor Petersen took per-
sonal command of the police force
Saturday afternoon and gave notice
to the patrolmen that they in turn
should notify women of the town not
to frequent the winerooms on peril of
getting into trouble. The day officers
tipped the "notice' off to the night
detrail and it Is understood that sew
eral females. who have been known to
frequent the dens of iniquity, were
told to keep away from them, by the
officers on the lower town beats.
No word was sent to the proprietors
of saloons having winerooms in con-
nection that they most allow no
women of bad repute to frequent
their places. This seems strange, as a
| word to these men, would. no doubt,
assist the officers In clearing the back
rooms of saloons of this class OF
patrons. Why the mayor did not in
struct the officers along this line is no!
apparent.
| Nothing was said to the police by
Mayor Petersen relating to the clos,
ing of the saloons on the Sabbath day,
and in consequence the clinking Of
] glasses and the boisterous talk of mer
was heard coming from the interior Of
a number of the places where liquor
is dispensed. regardless of the Law
which prohibits the sale of intoxicantl
on the Sabbath day.
There are saloonmen in Mankatt
who express their pleasure over TIT
agitation in favor of the closing O
the winerooms They are opposed tt
these Ravens of vice and they hop'
that the police will succeed in CLOSING
} them up entirely.
!, A residents of North Front stree
has made complaint to The Ere
Press that saloon operated not ia
from his home is the scene of Sunda.
night carousals and the din is kept ~
until an early hour in the morning.
! 1t is possible that Mayor Petersen
awaits the arrival home of Chic
Bowen before he starts in on q reform
crusade. The chief has now beef
away from home almost two weeks.
II is stated that Chief Bowen. de
parted for Mankato, from the point b
: was at, on Thursday of last week.

DISTRICT COURT.
The Cambria Road Case is Now on
Trial.


The trial ofMrs. Henrietta Zeigner's
appeal from the probate court was
completed at 8 30 p. m. Thursday.
and the court took the case under .ad
visement. One of the questions asked
Mrs. Zeigner by the attorneys for the
other side was whether DIR. Adam L.
Schumacher, was good and kind
man. With a shrug of her shoulders,
she replied, Well, he was like other
men, suppose.
The case of Fred Arndt vs. James
A. Thomas and the other supervisors
of the town of Cambria went to Trial
last Friday The plaintiff sues for
$500 damages because the supervisors
improved a road across his farm
which they claim has been Travelled
az public road for the past thirty
wears. He wants the road to run along
the side of a bluff, which will give
him the use of all the level land. The
supervisors claim that it would cost
them $500 to grade the road where
Arndt wants it. Arndt has plowed
up the old road.
A good deal of testimony was in
troduced to show that the road has
been travelled for great many years,
on the one hand. and to show that ii
is not a public road on the other.
