CHILD STEALS DOLL
Little Ragged Girl Victim of
Temptation

In the crowd that stood before the doll
counter of Seventh street department
store yesterday afternoon was little
girl about twelve years old, poorly clad.
who looked with longing eyes at the
gorgeous display.
She hovered about for long time,
watching prosperous looking mammas
buying large dolls that closed their eyes,
and she envied other girls who purchased
smaller ones.
The clerk noticed her standing about
and when the girl caught her glance she
disappeared among the shoppers. The
temptations of the doll counter. however,
were too strong for the little girl and
she drifted back.
When the busy clerk had her back turn
ed. the child reached up and took from a
box pretty little doll and quickly slipped
it under her cloak. She turned about, but
her hurry attracted the attention of a
man who caught her arm and held her.
Overcome with grief the girl burst out
crying and the doll was taken from her.
She was taken to the Office of the store
and a detective conducted her to the CEN
trail station, where she was locked up.
Her absence from home led to inquiries
by her parents and when they asked the
police whether they had found such a
girl they said the child was under arrest.
The brother of the girl went to the sta
ton and took the child home, saying he
would have her back Monday morning If
the store wanted to prosecute her.

HOUSE FORGOVERNOR
Suggestion Made That State
Buy Merriam Mansion

A hotel is not a very pleasant place
i for governor of the state to live in, -
suggested DR.. e. H. Whitcomb, member
of the assembly, yesterday. What he
should do is to occupy the Merriam house,
just east of the new capitol The state
should buy the property and make it per-
manent governors mansion.''
why not have the city buy this prop
erty and present it to the state for the
purposes of a permanent residence for the
goxeEnor?" asked r. d. O'Brien, also a
member of the assembly at has been
said, and possibly with some truth, that
St Paul does not fully appreciate the in
yestment the state has made in its new
capitol. Here would be way, in con-
crete form, Of convincing the remainder
of the state that st. Paul does appreciate
the investment very much, indeed
The project to purchase the Merriam
home and convert it into a permanent
residence for the chief executive of the
state has been broaehed before. 1t is said
that the house and the large area of
ground surrounding it can be purchased
for consideration of considerably less
than 100000. The project would involve
the furnishing of the house, because no
governor would care to go to the expense
of furnishing SO large and expensive a
house he was to occupy but two years.

WHAT SULPHUR DOES
For the Human Body in Health and
Disease

FOR the human Body In Health and
Disease
The mention of sulphur will recall to
many of US the early days when our
mothers and grandmothers gave us our
daily dose of sulphur and molasses every
spring and fall
1t was the universal spring and fall
"blood purifier" tonic and cure-all, and
mind you, this old-fashioned remedy was
not without merit.
The idea was good, but the remedy was
crude and unpalatable, and large guam
tfty had to be taken to get any effect.
Nowadays we get all the beneficial ef-
fects of sulphur in a pala table, concen-
trated form, so that single grain is far
more effective than a tablespoonful of
the crude sulphur
ment have proven that the best sulphur
for medicinal use is that obtained from
Calcium Calcium Snlphide) and sold in
drug stores unuer the name of Stuart S
late coated pellets and contain the active
medicinal principle of sulphur in highly
concentrated. effective form
Few people are aware of the value OF
this form of sulphur in restoring and
maintaining bodily vigor and health; sui
phur acts directly on the liver and ex-
cretory organs. and purifies and enriches
the blood by the prompt elimination Of
waste material
Our grandmothers knew this when they
doSed us with sulphur and molasSeS every
spring and ran, Duts The crudlIy ana I'M
purity Of ordinary flowers of sulphur were
often worse than the disease. and cannot
compare with the modern concentrated
preparations of sulphur, of which Stuart s
Calcium Waters is undoubtedly the best
and most widely used.
They are the natural antidote for liver
and kidney troubles and cure constipation
and purify the blood in way that often
surprises patient and physician alike.
DIR. R. M. Wilkins while experimenting
with sulphur remedies soon found that
the sulphur from Calcium was superior TO
any other form. He says: For liver,
kidney and blood troubles, especially
when resulting from constipation or ma
laria, I have been surprised at the re-
suits obtained from Stuarts Calcium
Waters In patients suffering from boils
and pimples. and even deep seated car
buneles, have repeatedly seen them dry
up and disappear in four or five days,
leaving the skin clear and smooth. Al
though Stuart,s Calcium Waters is pro-
prietary article. and sold by druggists,
and for that reason tabooed by many
| physicians, yet I know of nothing so safe
and reliable for constipation, liver and
kidney troubles and especially in all forms
of skin disease as this remedy
At any rate people who are tired of
pills. cathartics and so-called blood ..pu-
rifiers," will find in Stuart's Calcium
Waters. a far safer, more palatable and
effective preparation.

DOUGLAS LODGE HAS
FINE WATER SUPPLY
Dam at Small Cost Improves Itasca
Park House

A dam constructed at a cost of $50
in little stream near Douglas lodge,
the park house in Itsaca state park, is
now supplying both the first and sec
ond floors of the lodge with running
water.
Judge w. B. Douglas, after whom the
lodge was named and who, as attorney
general had much to do with the crea-
ton and early history of the state
park, has received a plan of the inn
provement. The dam generates power
which costs the state nothing but
which forces fifty-eight gallons of
water per minute through a pipe into

Washington. April 1l.--April 2S has
been discussed in committee rooms
and among senators and representa-.
tves as not at all an improbable date
for the termination of the present ses-
sion Of the congress.
The pension appropriation bill has
been received from the house and re-
ported from the senate committee with
an amendment. Discussion of service
pension legislation. 1t Is believed, will
be exhausted before the bill is placed
on its passage and this measure there
fore is not considered a barrier TO ear
ly adjournment. The army appropria.
tion is agreed on except as to four
amendments, which are in conference,
and IL is thought these amendments
will not result in much further discus.
sion in either body of congress. The
conference report of the agricultural
bill has been agreed to in the senate
but no action has been taken by the
house. A second conference has been
ordered on the fortification bill on the

ot a character that will tie the bill up

three days. 1t is expected that the

tions on Tuesday and the military
