germs. We quote Dr. Pierce, who is
an authority on the diseases prevalent
among women, young and old, who SAYS,
Elf fresh air be excluded from the bed
room the sleeper is obliged to breathe
and rebTeathe an atmosphere charged
with impurities thrown off from the
body and lungs At this time of the
year people hover about the register or
stove, clothing themselves too warmly
and spending their time in the warmth
indoors, with the result that they become
tender and sensitive and are almost GER
tain to catch cold. Then too, there is
marvellous power IN Gods sunlight
The young t-irl IS like plant which if
set IN a dark corner becomes scrawny
and struggles hard for existence, but If
put in the sunlight puts on more vigor-
Gus growth" DR.. Pierce further says,
of the patients in hospital ward, those
on the shady side never progress so well
as those OH the sunny side. Thousands
of girls lose health and grow thin and
sickly because they live indoors. Fresh
air stimulates the blood, for when we
breathe the fresh air into the lungs the
blood takes up the oxygen, the pores of
the skin are iuvig0Tated, and if one has
a naturally sluggish circulation a tepid
bath every morning, or a cold bath if
the girl IS strong enough, is great
thing for the skin and complexion
Colds, catarrh of the nose, throat and
lungs aud consumption come when the
skin is dead and inactive, when we
breathe impure air and do not exercise
sufficiently 10 expand our lungs in the
good air. The vital organism Of the
Young girl requires fresh air and sunshine,
just as do plants" If the woman is run
down and weak it Is not possible for her
to take the vigorous measures suggested
above, but she should then consult with
some prominent specialist, and if she
does not ike to conhde in some one at
home, If would be well for her to con

RUST SPOILS CROP
Banker Says MayylIIe, N. D,
Faces Partial Failure


rust has damaged the wheat crop
in my section of the state, and then
there is the danger of frost" said c. e.
Edwards, banker of Mayville, N D.,
who was at the Ryan hotel yesterday.
"The rust has shrunken the kernel
of the wheat, and a great deal of the
grain was attacked by the rust so ear
ly that it will not mature and it is
practically total loss to the farmers.
MayVille is in the heart of the wheat
belt, and such a thing as total crop
failure has been unknown there. The
farmers are in good shape financially,
and will be able to stand partial
loss of one years crop, but they will
not want any more of the rust.
''One year that I remember the frost

and damaged it very badly, and our
people will fear a visitation from this
source until the grain is CUT

NO MONEY TO SPEND
ON STATE BUILDINGS
Board of Control Unable to Remedy
Unsafe Conditions

Owing to lack of money the state
board of control will be unable this
year to do much toward remedying the
unsafe condition of several state build
ings.
No doubt it is true" Judge Gould,
Of the board of control, said yesterday,
that many of our institutions haven't
proper sanitary arrangements and are
not fitted with appliances for protec-
ton against fire. But nearly all of
these buildings were erected when Min
nesota was a young state and had litz
tie morey to spend. The latest build
fngs, those put up under the supervision
of the boards, are much more sub
stantial They have modern sanitary
features; they are either freproof or
slow burning; and they are equipped
with all the appliances needed to safe
guard the occupants.
Before we can improve conditions
in the older buildings we must get suf-
fcient money from the legislature.
Well explain the matter in our report
to the governor and We'll ask for means
to protect the citizens whose health
and life are now endangered

ROOT The ONLY MAN
New Yorker Fears Parker VIII
Garry Empire State

Elihu Root may possibly save New
York state to thes Republicans, in the
opinion of w. B. Van Rensselaer,, an AL
bany land owner who is at the Ryan hotel
en- route to the Yellowstone National
Park.
Mr.. Van Rensselaer, is a member of a
is brother to the famous DIR. Howard
thority of Albany With his wife he is
touring the West, and his visit to ST.
Paul is the first in fifteen years. He is
an ardent Republican, but admits that
the Empire state is in grave danger of
being carried by the Democrats.
1.-THE political situation in New York
state" Mr. Van Rensselaer, said last
night sis indicative of close contest in
November. If Elihu Root, late secretary
of war, can be prevailed upon to accept
the Republican nomination for governor,
think the Republicans have a good chance
of carrying the state. Mr.. Roots private
law practice is such, however, that it is
hardly probable to expect him to yield to
the wishes of the Republican managers
and surrender its large emolqments to re-
engage in politics. He stayed in the cab
met longer than his personal wishes
prompted him to remain, and he does not
want the nomination for governor. 1t is
possible, however, that he may consent
to make the run.
Judge Parker is a very strong candi-
date in New York. and without Root to
head the ticket for the Republicans he is
almost sure to carry the state as against
Mr.. Roosevelt"

PECK LOOKS WINNER.
Attorney Believes Democrats
VIII Capture Wisconsin


According to Wisconsin Democrats.
several of whom were in st. Paul yes
terday, the nomination of former Gov.
George W Peck as the candidate OF
the Wisconsin Democracy for governor
is assured.
.I told T h e Clio e in an interview
in March that Gov. Peck would be
nominated said F. M. White, lead
ing attorney of River Falls, who was
the Merchants hotel yesterday. And
now Ibelieve that he will be nominated
by acclamation at the convention to be
held Aug. 81 at Oshko osh. Wisconsin
has the opportunity to elect a Demo-
cratic governor this year, and believe
that she will do it. Feeling between
the Republicans has grown SO bitter
that neighbors and former friends are
divided into two hostile factions, each
ready to do anything to secure the de-
feat of the other. Business and soclal
relations are often strained to the
point of open rupture, and 1T is a
strange town where the Republicans
are not in open warfare.
"The supreme court has set Sept. 5
as the date for hearing arguments in
the bill of equity presented by the stall
warts in the hope of having their ticket
officially declared the regular ticket.
Several other schemes are under con-
sideration by the La Toilette faction,
however, and the supreme court may
never have the chance to finally declde
the questions raised in the StalWaftSs
bill A united Democracy should be
able to win in Wisconsin this year.
