Science has been very busy dur
ing the past few years experiment.
ing on the relative value of differ
ent food substances. It takes note
of their peculiar qualities and their
cost on the market. It has dem
onstrated what quantity of any
article of food should be eaten and
how the quality and quantity
should be varied for persons in
different occupations. The eff
cheney Of a worker in any capac-
ity, whether in intellectual or
manual labor, is largely dependent
upon the food he consumes, with
regard to either quality or guam
tity. The economics involved in
the problem Of food supply re-
quire that the food be of a kind,
and it's preparation be made in a
way that will enable the individual
to accomplish the greatest amount
Of work in a given length of time
and to preserve his physical and
mental condition. There is waste
or wear to the body going on
daily in greater or less degree,
according to the person, his or her
temperament, and the demands
made upon the system, physically
or mentally, and it follows that
certain quantity of heterogeneous OF
fesh-making food should be eaten
daily in order that this waste may
be counterbalanced and the general
ll-being of the individual be
preserved.
There is now great army OF
food reformers, and while many of
these have been looked upon as
cranks, the world is coming grad
ually to realization of the fact
that there is wisdom in giving
more heed to the quality and the
manner of preparation of food con-
sumed. There is an increasing
recognition of the fact that this
food reform plays at least small
part in improving the general
health conditions and in lengthen-
ing the lives of the people of this
country and Great Britain, as per
figures in another column of this
page two weeks ago, which showed
that people live longer now than
they did a few years ago.
/ There seems to be marked i'm
|provement along this line and the
number Of longevous persons is
steadily increasing. Definite rules
for the proper combination of diff
ferent articles of diet are now laid
down by experts, to the end that
the food consumed may keep the
individual IN good health and en-
enable him to accomplish more
work with less exertion than for
merly. 1t is regarded by good
authorities on hygiene that we
should eat that which will be as
simulated with the least expenditure
of energy. Among people of mod
crate or limited means and certain
environments the cost necessarily
plays an important part in the.
quality of food consumed. It may
be possible, however, to obtain the
most nutriment and healthfulness
from some of those articles of food
which are cheap and easily OBJ
tanned. Most people do not know
what they ought to eat and a great
many do not care; they simply
want that which tastes good and
satiates cravings, real or fancied.
But the world, or at least the civil
lized world is growing in enlight-
eminent and the next few years
will witness still greater reforms
and more general recognition Of
the fact that these reformations
are realities, important realities,

SUPREME COURT DE
CISION.
II. r. Lemaire Will Hold the Office of
Long Term County Commissioner.

A telegram was sent to H. r. Lemaire
yesterday morning from his lawyer, j. f.
Dennis, conveying the glad tidings that
he had won his contest case in the Su-
preme Court, Judges G. II. Belknap, A.
l.. Fitzgerald and G. F. Talbot, concurr-
ing.
This case is in regard TO the Long
Term Commissioner fight between LIE
MARIE and Walsh.
In the general election Of 1902, Le-
MARIE and Walsh were rival candidates
for this office and the returns from the
several election boards showed that
Walsh had won by n vote and Lee
MARIE filed a contest
Last January Mr.. Lemaire had a re-
count of the votes cast at the proceeding
election in the District Court at Austin
before Judge Breen. In February the
Judge rendered his decision in favor of
Lemaire; that he had been elected Com
missioner over Walsh by one vote.
Not satisfied with the decision Mr..
Walsh appeared before the Court for a
new trial, and it was denied, and he then
took al appeal to the Supreme Court.
The case was argued before the Su-
preme Court in September and Monday
the decision was handed down in the
case, with honors in favor Of Lemaire.
Henry's many friends throughout the
county will be pleased to learn that the
contest has been settled and that the
Office of Long Term County Commits
sioner of Lander county rightfully be-
longs to II. r. Lemaire for the next
three years.

PAYING THEIR PAPER
Farmers Are Not Asking Extensions
on Their Paper, Says Local
Company.
Out Of 1000 Maturing Obligations
95 Per Cent Have Been
Cared For.

That farmers are taking care of
their paper without asking extensions
is shown by the experience of local
financial institution which had ar
ranged maturities for crop time-Oct.
and Nov. l.. These maturities num-
bered about 1000 and 95 per cent have
been taken care of. The record for
October is remarkable in that all but
two mortgagors have paid their obli-
cations and the remaining two We're
carried over because of their we'll
known good financial condition.
Jobbers. implement houses and lum-
bermen are having a rather slow time
with collections just at present. For
the squirt has ceased. This condition
is due to the fact that where the
country merchant knows that his
farmer customer has grain or farm
products enough on hand to take care
of his running account he allows the
customer to do his fall blowing and to
finish preparing for the long winter
without pressing his account. He,
therefore, is not able to pay his &C
count with the jobber and manufac-
turer and asks a short extension.
At the same time the farmer takes
advantage of this attitude toward
himself and pays first his paper obi.
cations which are maturing.
Banks are not loaning except where
they cannot refuse, but they are grant.
ing extensions Of thirty or sixty day:
to the makers of paper which they
already hold.
When the farmer markets the grair
he has the tide of money will sbegir
to flow cityward. AT present currenc!
shipments out are very light.

COUNCIL HAS THE RIGHT
Can Interfere in Lake Calhoun
Matter-so Think Legal
Lights, at Least.

The right of the city to interfere in
the contest between the park board
and the residents about Lake Calhoun
over the lowering of the water in
the lake is questioned by a, great
many people, but the right seems to
exist nevertheless. While the park
board is created by a special act and
is given almost absolute power in the
matter of providing and maintaining
parks there is general state law
which will probably supersede the
park act in case of a conflict. This is
the law authorizing communities to
construct and maintain dams for the
preservation of stage Of water in
lakes.
Should the aldermen, therefore,
conclude that they wanted to take
any action in the Lake Calhoun mat
ter there is, in the opinion of legal
authorities. plenty of power con-
ferred on the city council. That the
aldermen will do SO is another mat
ter iii view of the fact that the park
board is supposed to be in position to
know what Is best for the city parks,
of which Calhoun is a part.
1T is charged that the park board
has drawn off fourteen inches Of wa
ter already. Captain Ewing, who has
iii times past makes this charge and
declares that he can prove it. There
was an understanding that the lake
was to be lowered only six inches and
it was SO ordered but the interested
citizens now believe that they were
beguiled into this belief in order to
take them off their guard and that
the intention all the time was to
| lower the lake more than foot.

DEPEND ON NEEDLE
Sec'y J. F. Jackson Tells What Some
Of His Women Proteges
Need.
He Guarantees that Those Supplying
Work Will Aid Worthy
Persons.

Special opportunities to help certain
distressed Minneapolitans to help
themselves are offered this week by
the Associated Charities. Whoever
can supply plain sewing, mending or
darning for half a. dozen dependent
needed and will grant such assistance,
moreover, to persons that are in every
respect worthy of abundant aid.
We receive many applications for
sewing to do, says Secretary j. F.
Jackson, but they are often from
ported by their relatives. Women
with drunken husbands, for example,
come to us for work. But it's the hus-
band, In such cases, that should be
made to do the work and to support
his family. The burden should not
fall to the poor wife. So. instead of
giving her work, we bring pressure to
bear upon the husband, and compel
! him to conduct himself a little more
| like a man.
| but the women for whom we are
now trying to get sewing, rnending and
darntng are either widowed or are
otherwise quite dependent. They are
unable to do washing or any sort of
1 hard work. Besides, they are uni
/ formly women that we can recon-
mend. We have seen their work. and
we are positive it will be satisfactory.
i we Know LaaL their homes are clean
and wholesome places where nobody
need be afraid to send her garments
i We hesitate to furnish recomme nda-
lions of this sort, and we never do it
1 until we have had considerable ex-
perience with the people recon-
nlended. =
One of the women seeking work
1 lives on Franklin avenue. She is a
widow whose husband died last win
! ter. Her children include two boys,
aged 5 and years, and a girl years
i old. The widow cannot leave her
i children to work outside. But at home
she can do plain sewing very neatly.
Another young widow, on Fourth
avenue S, has two daughters, 10 and IL
years Of age. Her husband died a
q few months ago. She is comparative
ly strong and could support her fam
lily if she had full opportunity to make
! use Of her skill as a needleWonaan
She does not only plain sewing but
admirable fancy work of various
kinds.
Out OH Twentieth avenue n a wo-
man SO years old would be able to
contribute not a little towards the
maintenance of her invalid husband
aged 20, If she had sufficient plain
sewing to engage a skill that is greater
than her strength.
Sewing is wanted by deaf ar6
dumb woman. Her husband, also
deaf and dumb, is suffering severely
from asthma. Their children are {
and IL years Of age. The wife car
mend and darn expeftly.

Enr.s and Hides.

But few people have any conceptloh
of the magnitude of the trade in the
twin cities. While the hide trade is
very extensive. hides coming here from
all parts of the northwest, the fur
trade is far more reaching. Furs are
shipped here from Maine to Alaska.
No Arm in this line of trade, here or
elsewhere, has shown such a growth
of trade as the Northwestern Hide &
Fur company of Minneapolis. See

anywhere to sell or ship to than this

Commission Men Get venIson-FulIert

Commission Men Get VenIson-Fullerton
After Them.
Twin city commission men have been
getting deer meat from the woods by
means of the new coupon licenses. Evl-
dence Of this has come to the state game
and fish commissioner. and Samuel Fuller
ton, the executive agent, has taken steps
to stop the practice.
The big game licenses now issued per-
nit the holder to ship three deer without
accompanying them. The commission men
take out license in st. Paul or Min
neapolis and then mail it to the agent OF
the railway company at the point from
which the game is to be shipped. Ihs
pot hunters bring in the game and the
agent attaches the coupons.
The matter has been taken up with tht
railroad companies and they have issued
instructions to agents that they must not
accept deer for shipment unless the ship
description punched in the margin of the
license.
