FINED s1oo A DAY AND LIKED IT.
Beer Selling Was Profitable in the Early
Boom Days of Winnipeg.

Dan Rodgers, well-known hotel man
of Gretna, is in the city. Mr. Rodgers
was one of Winnipeg's old-timprS. III
1881 he was proprietor of the Victoria
'Iheater and he hit upon the idea of sell
ing beer on the side. Hundreds tlocked
to his bar, and finally he detied the law
and sold the liquor openly without a Ii
cense.
He was brought before the late Col.
PEBBLES, who was then magistrate, and
fined 800 and costs for the offense He
smiled and said he could we'll afford it.
The fine did not put a stop to his oper-
atoms. however; he continued and was
pulled again and again, until his APP
pearance in court became Il daily occur

CLOVER SEED FOR COSMETIC.
As Good as Alfalfa Seed for That Use
and to Put on Flesh.

DIR. Wiley of the agricultural depart
ment was interested in Il story recently
printed about the nutritiousness of al
falfa seed. The story told how a bright
girl had improved her complexion and
gained nine pounds in few days by
eating cooked alfalfa seed. That's q
pretty good story" said the scientist.
But I'll tell you what you do. You tell
the young women of Indiana to eat cloy-
cr seed instead of alfalfa seed. They can
get it nearer home, and it will answer the
purpose just as well.
II see this particular young woman re-
fcrred to says she knows alfalfa seed is
nutritious because of the fact that be-
tween breakfast at : a. m. and dinner at
p. m. she did not get hungry. Now. |
do not know how it was with this young
woman, but if | had that experience /
would come to the conclusion that | was
eating something | could not digest.
Seriously, there is nothing in the story
about alfalfa seed being good for food,
II is nutritious, no doubt: all such seeds
are nutritious, but it will not do for food
for the human being. However. if any al
the young women in Indiana want to try
alfalfa they can get the seed by writiu.
to almost any town in Kansas"

been far above our expectations. Our aim
will be to get the new books as they come
out so that you can read them while they are
popular and being talked about. We charge
no fee for membership You merely rent
the books as you want them. The cost is
nominal The more largely the library is
patronized the better service we can give
