DEMAND $4,000
FOR TEN MINUTES
Litigants Claim to Have Been
Inundated and Want
Damages.

James G. Nelson and Henry J. Peter
son yesterday commenced separate ac-
tons against Newton r. Frost, propri-
etor of the Willard hotel, for damages
in the sum of $4,000 each. Mr.. Frost
caused the arrest of the men at his
hotel last January and had them taken
to the police station in the patrol
wagon.
Nelson is employed in an editorial
capacity on a historical publication
now being prepared, and Peterson is
employed in business capacity on the
same publication.
In his complaint Nelson states that
he has never learned the cause of his
arrest. He says he was on the walk
In front of the Willard hotel Jan. 16,
When the proprietor, Mr.. Frost. went
10 the telephone and called for the
patrol wagon and had him taken to
the station. He was arrested in the
presence of large number of people
ana was forced into the patrol wagon
by two officers. AT the station he was
released. Nelson claims to have en-
Joyed the esteem, confidence and re-
spect OF hundreds of business associ-
ates and social friends in the city
and throughout the state, and saws
tnat by reason of his arrest he has
undergone great pain, humiliation, deg
radatlon and modification, and that he
was grievously and deeply wounded
and outraged in mind.
Nelson figures that he should be
paid at the rate Of $1,000 per minute
for the time he was under arrest, which
was ten minutes.
The complaint filed by Peterson is
almost identical with that made by
NelIson, except that he was arrested
Jan: II. He says that he was a regu-
lar ooarder at the hotel and that with
out any apparent cause the proprietor
called the patrol wagon and had him
carried away TO the police station. He
was also in custody ten minutes and
wants $4,000. Peterson describes his
humiliation in the same language en-
ployed by Nelson.
Newton r. Frost, proprietor of the
Willard and defendant in the suits
brought by Nelson and Peterson. saws
the men came to the hotel while drunk
and that their actions We're such that
ne did not want them about the place.
SO he called the patrol wagon and had
them taken away.

THE WHOLE FAMILY
Benefits by Pure Food.

1t has happened in a great many
cases that one member of a family has
begun the use of the scientific food
Crap Nuts, and some Of the other
members have taken UP the food and
while enjoying it's delicious flavor have
been cured of various ailments and dis
eases which had sprung from the use
of improper food. A lady of st. Paul,
Mimi, gives an instance of this She
says: Our year and a half old baby
has been changed by Grape Nuts from
an Ill nourished child, suffering con-
stantly from colds and general weak
ness to a fit subject for a baby food
picture.
When we began to give her Grape
Nuts and milk we stopped all other
foods. and the Improvement was so
rapid that we could note the change
from week to week. Baby was made
we'll and strong.
But when l suggested 1t to my hus-
band, who had chronic dyspepsia ter
ribly, he said: I have dieted enough.
A man may as we'll die as to live on
health foods But 1 persisted, and
one morning served Grape Nuts and
cream to him. When he tasted 1t he
was most agreeably surprised. For the
first time in months his stomach and
food agreed with each other, and since
that time he has improved until he is
Stancn advocate or this delicious
food.
From our family the use of Grape
Nuts spread to our friends. and one in
particular was very delicate and al
ways sick. One day our physician, DR.
Ball, said to her: Go home and make
1t your business to eat Grape Nuts.
Eat it morning, noon and night She
followed the doctors order literally
and frequently made Grape Nuts into
buildings and other dishes. The re-
suits have been a surprising gain in
flesh, and she is now entirely free of all
illness, nervousness and is rapidly get
ting strong again." Name furnished by
Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.
There are scientific reasons why
this food is as valuable to one mem
Der of the family as to another. 1t is
perfect for athletes. yet at the same
time Is predigested and no stomach is
so weak 1t will not relish the food.

RUNDLETT FEARS
LACK OF LABOR
Building Operations and City
Work May Be Affected
By High Prices.

During a conversation the other
day" said City Engineer Rundlett yes
terday, "One architect told me that
there would be less building in the
Twin Cities this year than for many
years past. The reason ne assigned
was the high prices being demanded
for labor and material. Many orders
for plans given early last fall, he in
formed me, had been Cancelled on this
account
The cost of everything entering In
to the construction OF building, ac-
cOrding to Mr.. Rundlett, has advanced.
Skilled labor in many Of the branches
is demanding more than it did a year
ago, while the demand for common Ia
Dor is so great that it cannot be sup
piled except by the Offering of higher
wages.
The greatest competitor of the build
er just now in respect to unsllled la
Dor is the municipality which at pres
ent has outstanding over sixty con-
tracts for street work, the completion
of which will call for the employment
of hundreds of men. The contracts
are for sewers, street grading, street
paving and sidewalks.
Il do not believe there ever was a
time in the history Of st. Paul." said
Mr.. Rundlett when there were so
many city contracts out as there are
at this date. They represent all lines
Of street work and the odd feature
Of the whole thing is that the people
are asking for them. They have to
pay the bill and all seem willing to
stand the expense. My only fear is
that the contractors will not be able
10 keep up with the demand"
