SUMMER DRINKS.
State Food Department Will Keep a
Close Watch on Them.

The state dairy and food depart
ment, it is stated, will take up the
investigation of all syrups used in the
favoring of soda water with view
to ascertaining their quality and in
what degree, if any, they are deleter-
ious Last year the investigation was
undertaken, but on account of the
great amount of work which heaped
upon the department. was not finish
ed. Enough interesting data was OBJ
tanned, however, to arouse the curios-
ity of the department officials and
prompt them to make another effort
this year.
Commissioners Mcconnell stated
Saturday that, although the legisla-
ture has never shown such anxiety for
the absolute purity of the soda water
supply as the members have in en-
deavoring to prevent the adulteration
of whiskey. beers and other more dan
gerous drinks, the provision of the
law which forbids the adulteration of
any food product whatever is broad
enough to cover the case. If the syrup
which fills the bottom of the soda
water glass is found to be deleterious
the department will take action
against the proprietor of the store.
The department officers were led to
make Investigation by the suspicion
that many of the pure fruit juices,
so-called, were made of glucose and
contained aniline dyes. The coloring
matter drawn from certain grades Of
candy, from jams and soda fountain

The busv little village of Branchville,

and was treated witha galvanlc battery.
I also tried many doctors none OF whom
did me any permanent good. 1 trled all

"All this time I was growing worse
and in 1891 the doctor who was treating
me said my case had developed into
Iocomotor ataxia. He gave me no en-.
couragement and after attending me tol
a while he told me my allment was
| incurable.

limbs were drawn tight as the strings

Society,".

Saturday evening the home of Hal
vor Nelson, near Butternut, was a
scene of merriment, the occasion being
the twenty first birthday of their oldest
son, Winfred. There were guests
present from Lake Crystal, Madelia
and Mankato, and all had most en-
ioyable time. During the evening re-
freshments were served and as the
cups of coffee werenhanded around
Winfred found in his cup a beautiful
gold watch and chain, presented by
the members of the family, and an
opal pin presented by Mr.. and Mrs.
Mobiles, of Lake Crystal. The party
was gotten up by the family as sur

was gone to the station to meet some
friends, the party had time to assem-.

Before the meeting of the council
Thursday night, Mayor Petersen and
Aids. Taylor, Leonard and Wilcox
withdrew their subscriptions for stock
in the street railway company. This
was for the purpose of complying with
the charter provision which requires
that no city officer shall be interested
in a company securing a contract
from the city. This action, while
perhaps not necessary under con-
struction placed upon the provision by
attorneys, was safe and proper thing
to do, and leaves no flaw in the pro,
ceedings.
Mayor Petersen also resigned from
the board of directors.

that way. Times and conditions may
change, but the old rule remains that
there is no success without everlast-
ingly keeping at It." The trouble with
the majority of young men is that they
get the swelled head. They achieve
little success and then believe they can
neglect their duties and that things
will naturally gravitate their way. The
histories of all successful men prove
that they are persons who have contin-
ued at work. They watch little things
and big things, and they keep everlast-
ingly at it. Work Is the winning horse
in the great handicap of life; idleness Is
never in the money when the numbers

When President Roosevelt turns from
the trusts and the tariff to the debt of
the nation to the farmer he gets upon
ground occupied by all intelligent read
ers of American history. There may
be room for difference Of opinion as to
effective remedies for monopoly and
as to what we should do for Cuba, but
when 1t comes to the contribution Of
the farmer to our craftsmanship, to
our scholarship, to our commercial in
tegrity and financial solidity, to the
moral fiber of our citizenship, there can
be no ground for controversy. What
the farmer and the farmers sons are
doing for the preservation of those
Ideals that lie at the basis Of the re-
public is not political issue. That the
Presidents eloquent tribute to the
farmer on the fair grounds at Bangor,
Me, will not be challenged in the whole
wide republic Is no reason why such
tributes should go unspoken. 1t is fit
ting that the acknowledgements of the
nation to the influence and power of
the agricultural classes should find pub
lie expression. While the business Of
agriculture has changed along with
other systems of industrial endeavor,
the influences which breed the strong
men In finance, commerce and state
craft are still at work in the country.
Touching this phase Of the country life
the President said: Conditions have
changed in the country far less than
they have changed In the city, and in
consequence there has been little
breaking away from the methods Of life
which have produced the great major
lty Of the leaders Of the republic In
the past. Almost all of our great Pres
idents have been brought up In the
country, and most of them worked
hard on the farms In their youth and
got their early mental training in the
healthy democracy of farm life. The
forces which made these farm-bred
boys leaders of men when they had
come to their full manhood are still at
work In our country districts" Farm
Ing has progressed along with other
lines of productive industry. Old meth
DDS have been discarded. Farming
grows more scientific every year. There
is greater diversification of crops, and
farming Is no longer the life of monot-
onous drudgery that it was in the ear
Her days of the republic. 1t is the most
Independent and satisfying vocation on
earth, and with the great number of
labor saving inventions that mechani-
cal genius has contributed to husband
ry 1t Is in many respects the most en-
joyable. But the country has not
changed. 1t is the same healthful at
mosphere, the same uplifting environ
ment. And it is from the farm that
the republic must continue to draw
most of the strong men In commerce,
politics and in society.
