WILL CHECK THE BABIES.
Plan to Be Adopted BY the Woman's
Federation at Fair.
From Saturdays Daily.

iOli .
'Have your babies checked while you
see the sights"
This will be one of the conspicuous
signs to greet the eye next fall as one
enters the state fair grounds.
Although the fair management has
left little undone in providing all the
comforts of home for the ''grown-ups,' y
mains for woman to care for their in
terests.
DR.. Henrietta P. Miller, in her work
last year in connection with the emer-
gency hospital in the Woman's Fedora
ton building had numerous requests
every day from mothers who wanted
their little children cared for during
few hours, but as there was no room,
these petitions could not be granted.
This year DR.. Miller is planning, pro-
viding the authorities will give her per-
mission, to fit up tent with all the
modern conveniences that appeal to the
infantile mind.
Comfortable cribs, and plenty of pure
milk from prize winning cows will be on
hand and one woman and several nurse
girls will look after their wants.
The Minneapolis Woman's Medical club
has chosen DIR. Miller to take charge of
the emergency hospital at the fair, po-
sition which she occupied last season.
That l53 patients were cared for last
year in this place shows how necessary
such hospital is to the public on such
an occasion.
The members of the club started a
fund last year to which some additions
have been made during the year, with
which to put up small modern hos
pital on the fare grounds some time in
the future.
Dr. Miller expects TO be able to get
larger quarters this fall, but the hospi-
tai will again be located in the Fedora
ton building. DIR. Florence Baier will
be associated with DR.. Miller on this
committee, but other members of the
club will also take turns in attending
the sickroom and caring for the patients.
The emergency hospital is the out
growth of the model sickroom which was
planned by the fair committee of the
Minnesota Federation to give the at
tending members an idea of how to pro-
perly care for the Minneapolis
Times

WILL FIGHT REDUCTION.
Railroads Do Not Like the Scale on
Coal ard Lumber.
From SATURDAYS Daily.

Southern Minnesota roads may fight
the order of the railroad commission
reducing rates on coal and lumber The
Northern Pacific has completed it's sched-
ule and that of the Great Northern is eX-
pected in short time The Great West
ern has not yet agreed to the reduction.
General Traffic Manager p. G. Stohr
says: 1--WE cannot afford to make the
reduction ordered by the commission. The
rates in southern Minnesota are very
low. as coal is hauled direct from the
lower lake POINTS, and in making rates
from the head of the lakes these lower
lake point rates are met. We do not
think it is fair to reduce our already low
rates in the same proportion as the high
Ell rates in northern Minnesota are re-
diced. Of course, nothing can be done
until the commission returns"

There is strong probability that Wa

clothing and gents furnishing store. Last
Saturday two gentlemen, Messrs. Lee
and Iverson. the former an experienced
clerk of Owatonna, and the latter cloth
ing merchant of Afankato, were here
looking over the town. Before leaving
they made arrangements with local par
ties to make arrangements for the lease
of building here, in case they decided
to come here and locate. Mr.. Iverson has
one of the largest stores in Mankato,
and he is said to have plenty OF capital
at his command. If they come here they
will probably occupy the I. F. Moore
building. -Wadena Tribune.

pointed out that the law lords met a week
after the opening of parliamentary weeks
after the other courts They have sat for
sixteen days. rising nine days before the
other courts. and have disposed of about
fourteen out of some forty apupeals. 1t
takes from fifteen to eighteen months ap-
parently for a decision of the court of APP
peals to be received by their lordships
What do the law lords do with their time?
They work for a total OF three months or so
out of each year. for which they receive
(the lord chancellor gets f10.000 but 1900
of this Is as speaker of the house of lords)
$1,000 each. Even a New York policeman
would call this a 'cinch."
