Sick
Blood

Feed pale girls on SCOTS
Emulsion.
We do not need to give all
the reasons why SCOTS
Emulsion restores the strength
and flesh and color of good
health to those who suffer
from sick blood.
The fact that it is the best
preparation of Cod Liver Oil,
rich in nutrition, full of healthy
stimulation is a suggestion as
to why it does what it does.
SCOTS Emulsion presents
Cod Liver Oil at its best,
fullest in strength, least in
taste.
Young women in their
teens are permanently cured
of the peculiar disease of the
blood which shows itself in
paleness, weaknessandnervou
ness, by regular treatment
with SCOTS Emulsion.
1t is a true blood food and
is naturally adapted to the cure
Of the blood sickness from
which so many young women

BIG HAUL BY BURGLARS
The Residence Of w. E. Grinnell on
Portland Avenue Is Thoroly
Ransacked .

While the family Of w. E. Grinnel1,
1904 Portland avenue, was at church
last night, thieves broke into the resi-
dence and stole a sealskin sacque val
ued at $500, a quantity of jeWelry
and silverWare and $50 In cash. Inc
total loss exceeds 500. %',% ~ 50
When Mr.. Grinnell left the house
last night he took care to exttngulsh
all the lights except one in the hall and
one in the bathroom. This left the
house almost in total darkness but
when he returned at $40 o'clock he
was surprised to see lights burning on
both floors Of the house. He en-
tered the place and found everything
| in disorder. Bureau drawers were
open and the contents strewn about
the floors, the dining-rOom was torn
up generally while the drawers In the
sideboard showed that they had been
rummaged.
Grinnell found that, the rear window 1r
the dining-room had been pried oper
with a Jimmy while the rear door OF
the house had been unlocked from the
inside and left open. Everything IN
dicated that the thieves had been sur
prised in their work by the return o,
the family and had made a hurried
exit thru the rear door. Several art1
cles of clothing and a box Of choict
toilet soap were laid out ready to b.
taken by the burglars but they Were
compelled to leave before they coult
take them. H.. 49,

THINK IT ILLEGAL
City Officials Pick Many Flaws in
the Tax Ferret
- Plan.
They Argue that the County Cant
... Give Away City
r ,s..= &c. Money. s.

None of the city officials thinks very
much of the scheme to saddle the tax
ferret system on Hennepin county and
they hope that the game will be
ion that the plan Is wholly illegal. The
law specifically states, for what spur-
poses taxes are to be raised and the
manner of their distribution and, tho
the law is broad, 1t does not authorize
the county commissioners to, employ
private citizens to take a hand In the
collection of taxes.
Only a small part Of the taxes col
| lected by the officials of Hennepin
county is for the county's use. In a
| levy ranging from rs to 80 mills the
county will receive on an average only
about one-tenth and yet, the city Off
Gals point out, the county commits
sioners undertake to set aside GER
| taing percentage Of money paid in
for municipal and state taxes and give
| it to private persons, without obtain
| ing the consent Of either. the city
council or the state government. City
officials say that this cannot be legal
ly done, maintaining that the county
officials simply act as collecting
agents for the city and county, and
| that the county commissioners least
of all have any disposition Of other
/ moneys than those derived from the
county levy alone. :.

FOUND NEAR LAUNCH

Drowned in Minnetonka Satur-
day, Is Recovered.
She Had Apparently Fallen into the
Water While Trying to
Land.

The body of Mrs. Frederick J. Hop.

cramps which made it impossible for
her to swim to shore, or else that she
was stunned by the fall.

husband to the train, and after leaving
him, started to return to the cottage.
Nothing more was seen of her, and

missed the train and decided to remain
another day.
Mr.. Hopkins is credit man for Jan
ney, Semple, Hill & Co. Mrs. Hop
kins was 35 years. old and is survived
by two children, her husband and her
mother.
Mrs. Hopkins was especially well
| known to people summering at Min
netonka, as Mr.. Hopkins built his
handsome home at Cottagewood at
the beginning of the popularity OF
that colony soon after he brought
Mrs. Hopkins here as a bride from
New York. The family always spent
the greater part of the year at the
lake, as their tastes for country life
and water sports were pronounced
Mrs. Hopkins was for years one of the
most active members of the yach
club, serving on committees where {
practical knowledge Of sailing was
necessary, and she took much pride il
her knowledge of boats and Of theil
handling, being an intrepid sailor.

FLAX TOUCHES 9OC
The Low Price May Give a New I'M
petus to Wheat
Culture.
This Prospect Is Pleasing One to
the Milling Inter
ests.

Ninety cents was the quotation
heard on change this morning for NO.
/ flax. Ninety cent flax, long ago pre-
dicted, has at last been reached. About
two months ago flax was forced into
the nineties and much comment was
then occasioned for the reason that
flax had not been at any such low fig
ure for several years and had long
sold in the neighborhood Of $1.50,
touching $1.87 at one time. Wet
weather and comparatively light re-
ceipts warded off the soc figure at that
time and UP to ten days ago No. l
seed was selling here at $1.O1A.
the rate of 1c a day and in ten days
111sc came off.
Locally there is good demand for
flax as there is not much coming. IN
Duluth the futures are being depressed
and as. Minneapolis cash follows Du-
luth October flax very closely, the de-
cline is felt here.
Is Competent observers of conditions
are inclined to believe that flax grow
ing in the northwest has received a
setback. Thornton of Duluth est1-
mates that Of 100000 acres seeded
last year in North Dakota, 100000
acres were harvested with an average
yield Of about six bushels. At prices
that have ruled, this flax crop Is net
ting North Dakota about $1O,OOO,OO0,
but with flax now around 90c and No.
1 northern wheat about SIC, the diff
ference is vastly in favor of wheat as
to net results.
Linseed oil men say the prospects OF
a return to the former extreme high
prices appear remote. Industrial re-
cession is felt in the oil trade about
as quickly as in any line, and as build
ing and new work generally slackens
less paint is used.
If the low prices for flax shall re-
suit in turning portion of the coarse
grain acreage back to wheat, as is nov
thought may be the case, Minneapolis
millers will be pleased, as the north
west has not produced any too mucf
wheat for several seasons past.

GAME WARDENS WIN
Search Warrant Rule Abolished at the

No more obnoxious search warrants
need to be sprung at the union depot by
deputy game wardens. One experience
was enough for the depot management.
They had decided to bar game wardens
from the depot unless armed with war
rant Sam Fullerton got notice that four
trunks containing ducks had been shipped
from Hutchinson Deputies Williams and
Boyd secured a search warrant and pre-
sented themselves at the baggage room.
They had right under the warrant to
search the whole premises, and they held
up all the baggage in sight, to the incon-
venience of passengers, until they could
be sure the game trunks did not escape.
They found only one truck, containing
forty-four ducks, two fine guns and some
hunting clothes, all of which were con-
fiscated. N. T. Linckey, baggage agent.
was directed to appear in court. as under
the law he was answerable for the posses
sion Of the game. -..
Owing to the Inconvenience caused by
the search warrant the depot management
decided to withdraw It's rule and give the
wardens free access to the baggage room
once more.
