Board of Control Spends
Nearly 100000 for Food

Nearly half million dollars worth
OF food Is purchased each year for the
5000 inmates of the twelve state in
situations which are under the man
agement of the state board of con-
troll.
The largest expenditure in the food
line was for meat. and last year $780,
600 was the meat bill at the institu-
lions, over 100000 pounds being pur-
chased.
The next largest bill was for butter,
100000 pounds being used and $41.O5O
expended for this article.
Milk comes third on the list, 301 ,857
gallons being used at a cost of $685.
423
Flour from which the staff of Ife"
is made comes fourth on the list, 81
8O4 barrels being purchased at cost
of $26,120. Potatoes cost $23,242, over
$1,000 bushels being needed.
Each inmate averaged about sixty
five pounds Of sugar, the bill for the
sweet stuff amounting to $13,953 for
394.50S pounds.
The eggs consumed by the inmates
would keep 5000 hens busy the year
round. as 543,64S were purchased and
over $4,000 paid for them.
1t appears from the report of the
board that that good old boarding
house delicacy, "prunes," are served
freely to the inmates, as 52,253 pounds
were purchased at cost of $2,763
In the way of dried fruits peaches had
the call and 30,745 lbs. were purchased,
while only 20,150 pounds of apples
were needed to round out the bills of
fare.
Breakfast foods evidently are on the
bills Of fare in all the institutions for
525 barrels of rolled oats and 1860
pounds Of rolled wheat rolled down the
threats of the inmates. Crackers and
cheese are probably served together at
some of the meals, for 10000 pounds

Yesterday the state treasurer re-

From all such sales the state re-

With the approach of spring the
pening of the river is almost daily
anticipated, and those interested in the
tream for commercial purposes await
lnxiously the coming of warm weather
loosen the ice bonds which the win
er spreads over it. Those whose busi-
less buildings are in such a position
Us to be subject to the high water of
he spring season await with appre-
tension the opening of the river and
jook with anxiety for signs of a flood.
The memory Of the disastrous flood
of 1897, when the water rose higher
than ever before for many years, is
still fresh in the minds of those who
suffered from It, Dwellers of the flats
remember we'll the days the freshet
came in torrents end rose over the
levees.
From indications so far available 1t
seems certain that no danger from
high water Is to be apprehended this
year. Though the snowfall in the
northern part of the state at the head
waters of the Mississippi was greater
this year than last year, the author
tiles say that there is nothing alarm
Ing to be expected.
No Serious Rise Expected.
The reservoirs along the river are in
first-class condition, according to re-
ports in the hands of the government
engineers. Neither the engineers nor
the weather observers win venture yet
to say POSITIVELY whether there will be
high water, but they express the opin-
Ion that no serious rise will result
The high water usually comes in April
or May and sometimes even In June,
and is the result largely of the weather
that has prevailed during the winter.
If the winter is severe and much snow
falls 1t is certain that flood will en-
sue, especially if the spring is late and
warm weather comes suddenly.
Though floods are reported from the
lower Mississippi, they are the result
Of weather conditions of the lower
tributaries, notably the Arkansas, Red,
Missouri and Ohio rivers.
The snowfall in the upper Missis-
Bippi valley, in Northern Minnesota, so
far, according to the latest reports of
the state weather correspondents, show
that little more snow has fallen this
year than last. The snowfall in the
woods averages about Is inches. In
the lake region, in the vicinity of Leech,
WinnibigoShish and Cross lakes, the
snow is about IS inches deep. At Bena
the snow averages from 171a inches to
% inches in depth. The weather au-
thorities say there is nothing alarming
in this amount of snow. In 1897, the
year of the big flood, drifts in the pin
cries were as deep as ia and Is feet

has just made the startling announcement
that he has produced a compound that

tor makes the claim that after expert
mentS. taking years to complete he has
at last reached the goal of his ambition.
To the doctor all heads are alike. There
are none which cannot be cured by this
remarkable remedy. The record of the
cures already made Is truly marvellous and
were 1t not for the high standing of the
great physician and the convincing testi-
mony of thousands of citizens all over
the country 1t would seem too miraculous
to be true.
There can be no~doubt of the doctors
earnestness in making his claims, nor can
his cures be disputed. He does not ask
any man, woman or child to take his

ready and willing to send free trial pack
