Peruna has cured thousands of cases
of female weakness. AS a rule, how
ever, before Peruna is resorted to sew
eraI other remedies have been tried in
vain. A great many of the patients
have taken local treatment, submitted
themselves to surgical operations, and
taken all sorts of doctors stuff, with
out any result.
The reason of so many failures is the
fact that diseases peculiar to the female

In getting it., he was sWindled and

ties for vengeance. A few weeks ago
an eastern newspaper involving a
puzzle contest. The puzzle was easy
for the man, and he rather patted
himself upon the back over his astute-
ness In working it out. The .adver-
tlsement declared that any one who
would solve the puzzle would be given
fine colonial clock
The advertisement pictured the
clock as sitting in a magnificent re-
ceptlon hail. surrounded with counter
felt palms and furniture of sleeping
car richness. The man sent in his
solution of the puzzle and was in
formed that he had won and that
the clock would be shipped as soon
as he forwarded about 50 for Grating
and carriage. He was aglow with hap
p1ness and sent the two plunks in
stanter.
This week he received the clock.

SITUATION IS HOPEFUL
PROSPECT SEEMS GOOD FOR
AVERTING STRIKE BETWEEN
PHOTOGRAPHERS AND THEIR
+ EMPLOYERS.

o.
Telegraph lines are being used with
an unwonted freedom to-day, all over
the country, in an endeavor to settle
the differences existing between the
employing photographers and the
Lithographers': union. This morning
the situation looked more hopeful, but
tomorrow there may not be a big
lithographing shop in the country
open, or peace may be declared for a
year.
Minneapolis photographers are fol-
lowing the trouble closely, as all are
involved, Locarty there is q, hope that
the national organizations will "get
together" The trouble, it is said,
grew out of the neglect Of the national
president of the Lithographers' union
the terms of the tentative agreement
Of a year ago, to the effect that all
troubles between operatives and their
employers should be settled by arbi-
tration. When the time came to make
contracts for the coming year, the
unions were not aware of the nature
of the agreement.
The arbitration clause of the agree
ment is being .telegraphed to every
union in the United States this morn
ing. The Minneapolis union is on rec
ord as favoring the arbitration of all
disputes, and it is thought that the
unions Of the country will take such
action The question of apprentices
also will be settled.
The matters in dispute will be set
tied one way or the other in New York
to-day. Minneapolis employers and
employees: declare that they will be
governed by the actions of the heads
Of their Organizations.

The HOME
OF THE BULB
MIR. VAN HONEYWELL TALKS OF
HOLLANDS GREAT, INDUSTRY.
Dutch Have Little Fear Of American
Competition ~ Bulb Growing Re-
quires Patience, Which Americans
Have Not and the Dutch Have.

Mr.. Van Zonneveld of the Sassen-
HEINZ Holland, bulb firm of Van
Zonneveld Brothers & Philippe, is in
Minneapolis to-day. He is selling the
next crop OF bulbs, tuEps, hyacinths,
crocuses, narcissi, daffoG!ls and flower
ing azalias. Minneapolis is a good
American market for bulbs.
So long as Americans show the ten
dency to do things in a rush, Holland
has little to fear from the competi-
ton Of American grown bulbs Mr..
Van Zonneveld feels that his trade is
safe, because, while America wants
the flowers which spring from the
bulbs, they haven't the patience to be-
gin at the bottom, and patience is
absolutely necessary to bulb growing.
Patience is something the Hollanders
have in large quantities.
In Holland the bulbs are lifted sew
eral times; that is. taken up and re-
planted before the bulb has the
strength to mature, or is fit for mar
ket. In Sassenheim, the traveller can
go for miles and see a continuous
acreage of flowers in bloom, not one
flower taller than another. If there is
lack Of evenness in bloom anywhere,
the offending plant is torn out. Such
a sight must be seen to be appre-
ciated, says Mr.. Van Zonneveld. Col
OrS alike are punched together, which
makes great patches of solid shades
alternating.
On this companys bulb farm all
the work is done by little steamboats,
instead of by horse and wagon. The
fertilizer = is carried from the boats
on Wheelbarrows. When the work
men want to reach a remote part OF
the farm, they dig new canal and
run the boats in.
Bulbs are loaded in these small
boats and taken to the bulb house,
and when a supply has accumulated
they are sent In ship loads to all
parts Of the world and then in car
loads to the distributing points. The
American distributing points are New
York and Chicago.
In Holland no one has an automo-
bile, says Mr.. Van Zonneveld, but
everybody runs his little steamboat

BOY
FORCES A CHECK
BOY SAYS HIS MOTHERS NEED
PROMPTED THE DEED.
The Forgery Is Detected and the Lad,
After a Serious Session With the
Police Superintendent, Is Allowed to
Go Free.


With his mother in destitute cir
cumstances, q 12-year-old boy, giving
his name as. Paul Smith, forged a
check for 81 yesterday and tried to
pass it at a department store. The
cashier suspected that all was not
right, and told him to wait until the
return of the manager, who would
have to sign it before 1t could be
cashed. The boy waited, and in the
meantime the cashier sent to police
headquarters for Detective John Nor
rissey. An investigation showed that
the check was a clumsy forgery, and
Smith was taken to Police Superin-
tendent Conroy to explain matters.
Iii his talk with the superintendent
he said that he and his mother were
entirely without provisions and he had
tried to get work to help along. He
knew how to write a check, and as a
last resort he had made one for a
small sum, hoping to have it cashed
and tell his mother that he had found
the money. He stoutly maintained
that his mother knew nothing about
his actions, and begged the chief not
to tell her or to have him arrested. 8
After promising to refrain from
such means of obtaining money, he
was allowed to go, as his story was
told in straightforward manner, and
he seemed truly repentent.

WINTER MILK
RATE IN SUMMER
Association Proposes to Maintain
Members Say War Keeps
Feed UP. .,-...,-..

Having formed an association repre-
senting a large majority of the bust
ness, Minneapolis milk, men last even
ing decided not to make the usual
summer reduction in the price Of milk.
The retail price thru the winter has
been six cents a quart for milk. and
six cents a, half-pint for cream.
Usually the price in summer is five
cents a quart for milk and five cents
a half-pint for cream. The differ
ence Is shaded somewhat where con-
sumers buy tickets in quantities.
The milkmen say that the winter
prices will be maintained this summer
because of the high price of labor and
feed, the price of feed being up on
account Of the war in the far east.
A careful inquiry among the feed
men fails to show that there is ground
for the assertion that feed Is up. The
feed men say that the war has had
practically no effect on the price OF
feed. "-'"-. .~ q. .t...' .... .--..

A WAGNERIAN ARTIST
Miss Olive Fremstad Has Scored Sue
cess in Difficult Role

Criticisms which the New York pa
pers have accorded to Miss Olive
Fremstad this winter have been Of a
most complimentary order. Upon the
occasion Of her singing in 'Rhein-
gold" the part of Fricka, the Eve
ming Post, March 4, says: 1.-THE cast
was a good one. Miss Olive Fremstad
was almost too attractive as Fricka,
vocally, and in personal appearance;
at any rate, she made it difficult to
understand the conduct on subse-
Quent occasions Of her spouse, Wotan."
Miss Fremstad will sing with the
Minneapolis Symphony orchestra, on
Wednesday evening, March 20, at the
International auditorium, and her Sc
lections will include at least one Wag-

LAW ON NAMES

Count.

Judge Thayer Says Middle Name Doesn't
Count.
/ Those who serve warrants will be inter-
ested in the, decision Of Judge Thayer
handed down yesterday in the =. United
States circuit court Of appeals. A Mis-
souri, man had brought suit against a
United States marshal for false arrest
basing his suit on the ground that his
middle initial was wrongly given in the
warrant. The court held that the law
knows or recognizes but one given name
and that the omission of the
initial letter Of che middle name or mis-
take in that letter was not regarded as
material ...
The complaint in the case was James T.
Cox and the defendant Edwin D. Durham.
Cox was arrested on a charge of being i'm
plicated in postoffice robbery, the war
rant being for j. I. Cox. -

HIGHWAYWoMEN, MAYBE
Dimples Make Victims Suspicious OF
Character of Robbers.

The two masked robbers who held
up Michael Sammons and T. Downs
on University avenue, in ST. Paul,
Monday night, are thought to be
women. Earlier in the evening they
held up a saloon, and those who saw
them say that they were small and
wore clothes much too large for them.
They also handled the revolvers in a
clumsy manner. Summons and Downs
declare that the faces of the robbers
were beardless, and that there was a
dimple in the chin of one Of them.
The police take little stock in the
theory.
