among these to it's highest tension. All
possible means are used to induce the
girls to follow them; none too vile or
debasing that are not stopped to. Should
the girl prove obdurate, they threaten
her, frighten her out of her very wits,
grasp her baggage steal her money and
so force her to go with them, in order to
have her property restored, tear her
away from her friends, if police protec-
ton did not interfere; quarrel among
themselves to get possession Of girl,
resorting even to blows.
Such trials beset the innocent, ignor-
ant, irresponsible girl who comes here in
the hey-day Of her youth-buoyed up
with fond hopes-but her tribulations
have only begun. AS a novice entering
the office she is merely tool-whatever
order may be in at the time, be it for
sporting or gambling houses, saloons or
dives of more disreputable nature, or
to outlying districts, away from railway
centers, she is sent-not conversant with
the language or habits what evil can
befall her? Nobody takes her part, no
body bears the responsibility, she is
often lost in the sickening morasses Of
deceit, sloth, dishonor, yea even pushed
by the extremity Of distress into the
very den of criminals, to be forever
doomed-an outcast Of society.
A strong searchlight has been thrown
upon these conditions, especially preva-
lent on the East Side, and public opin-
ion has been aroused. It is most import
ant that the agitation continue, so good
results can be attained A law was
passed in May that every proprietor Of
an agency must have license and fur
nish bond Of ST 900 with two or more
sufficient sureties. No agency shall be
located in rooms used for living pur-
poses-or where boarders or dodgers are
kept, or on premises where intoxicating
liquors are sold, excepting cafes or res
taurants in office buildings. A register
must be kept in the English language; !;

Among the very gravest problems
which present themselves to the soclolog-
ical worker is the question OF taking
charge Of the immigrant girls who flock
to this country, tempted often by letters
full Of promise Of better things sent by
friends or relatives, or by exaggerated
tales brought back to the old homestead

lumines the path Of every individual
who alights on American soil, where the
very streets are paved with gold in their
fancies; where opportunities for work
are illimitable, and success crowns every
effort Others are lured here by some
seemingly friendly agencies, who even
send emissaries abroad, pay the trans
portation fees, and assure their proteges
of good positions, Of high salaries and
generally fail to live up to their agree
ment.
Anyone who has paid visit to Ellis
Island, and often at the very outset has
seen the spirit of hopefulness give way
to bitter despair, when friends did not
call, and the poor, forlorn wanderer, de-
serted, adrift, will take the helping hand
of anyone stretched out, in order to get
a foothold- knows and realizes the dire

minds in our community, and, appalled,
at the revelations, they are cropping their
way, planning to save the many that are
ever coming, to exc out an existence
here, from the deplorable fate that has
befallen their sisters The restrictions
placed upon the immigrants here and
abroad have led them to take refuge in
many subterfuges, in contradictory
statements, and the missionaries have
hard time to get at the truth OF the mat
ter to disentangle the vexed question.
No immigrant is allowed to land here
who has no relatives-so relatives are
often manufactured Girls are not re-
leased from Ellis Island when unmar-
ried men call for them, or married men
without their wives, so our naturallzed
citizen often forgets his honesty and lies

authorities in their own country, or to
procure passage by purchasing some

are given, or so illegible that they can

forces in motion to ply their trade. Some

ADVERTISING STORIETTE

I recently asked one of the leading
advertisers man now spending
nearly million dollars annually in
newspaper space-what. in his opin-
ion, was the relative value Of clean,
high grade, home, afternoon, two-cent
papers as compared with penny pa
pers, filled with questionable advertis-
ing and getting out editions all during
the day. He replied unhesitatingly
that fifty copies of the former were
worth more to him than 100 OF the
latter. I then asked what he thought
the relative value was, the pa
pers being of equal character, one
morning and the other even
ing, and published in cities the
size Of Washington, Baltimore, Indian
apolis, Detroit, Minneapolis, st. Paul,
etc. He instantly stated that three
morning papers were not worth as
much as two evening papers. He fur
Their volunteered the statement that all
his contracts were made on the esti-
mate he gave.
Hundreds of large local advertisers
in various cities-for instance, the
merchant prince Of Detroit, J. L. Hud-
use evening papers exclusively. They
know from experience covering many
years that the evening paper prints
the most local news, has the largest
circulation In the homes, commands
the most responsive class of readers,
most satisfactorily produces business
for them, and, indeed, that from every
viewpoint the clean, home, evening
daily Is the king Of advertising me-
diums. In Minneapolis 1t Is The

WILL $40 COAL
Be A REALITY?
LAKE STRIKE THREATENS SUP

Stocks Here and at the Head of the
Lakes Are Low and Coal Will Be
Scarce Unless Labor Troubles

Will Minneapolis see SO coal this
This all depends upon whether the
present labor conditions on the lakes
continue. At present, coal shipping
is tied up until the troubles between
the ship captains and the pilots on one
side and the operators, on the other,
is adjusted. The captains and pilots
want better pay, than is offered, and
want their powers extended. Neither
side shows any inclination to yield,

with the northwest next fall and win
ter, for fuel.
When the coal selling season opened
last fall, Minneapolis fuel dealers Won
dered how they would ever get rid of
the extra large stock on hand. The
extreme cold of the past winter
answered the question, and there is
next to no coal now in the twin cities
or at the head Of the lakes-Duluth
and Superior. The amount of coal
received at the head Of the lakes last
season was 1,145,005 tons of anthra
cite, and 5,7S8,628 Of bituminous-
6,937,633 in all. Minneapolis uses
$4,000 tons of sAthracite, 100000
tons Of bituminous. 1t would be i'm

If strike is not adjusted, it will
not only mean high priced coal, but
insufficient quantity at any price to
run all the big industries, and many
would be compelled to shut down.

EXPERTS TAKE HOLD

Progress has been made to such a
point that the committee put in the
field to-day several expert insurance
men furnished by the Northwestern
National Life Insurance company.
These men will see applicants, confer
as to the form Of policy desired, and
then will turn over the applications
and premiums to w. G. Nye, secretary
Of the public affairs committee of the

s2.0OO,000 is secured the committee
will be able to turn over at once the
applications thus avoiding any delay

you have to do is to write and ask
them for an order on your druggist

This looks to us like pretty good
proposition. The fact that all drug
gists handling Milks' Emulsion are re-
quested to guarantee every bottle they
sell, Is sure indication of merit.
Otherwise the Milks' Emulsion Co.
would soon go out Of business, and we

SANATORIUM DEDICATED
Ceremonies Held Yester.
day at Lawrence Institution.

The formal opening Of DR.. Law
rence's new sanatorium, $40 E Seven
teenth street, took place yesterday
afternoon in the presence Of large
company and was in charge of Rev.
Irving P. Johnson, rector of Gethsem-
ane Episcopal church. Music was
given by the Gethsemane choir.
The dedicatory address was deliv-
cred by Mr.. Johnson, who drew from
the parable of the prodigal son the
thought that those the world Is striv-
ing to save must have something to
take the place of the amusements and
pleasures that have been the cause of
their downfall. The founding of the
sanatorium, said Mr.. johnson, Is the
nucleus Of chain Of helpful institu-
tons devoted to the work of provid-
ing both a preventive and an antidote
for intemperance and a substitute for
the allurements of the saloon, this
practical application Of brotherly
charity will do much in the planting
of Christian ideas in temperance re-
forms. .a.N
Rev William Harper Rider Of Simp-
son M. E. church then spoke In glow
| ing terms Of the work being done by
| Of. Lawrence and the great value OF
the practical application of scientific
methods in the furtherance, Of Chris
| tian work and life. He pledged his
entire sympathy and aid to the work
so nobly planned and started.
| The closing address was made by
John Douglas who gave a bright pic
ture of the future of such noble work
and the many happy homes and con.
tented familiese that will bless the eff.
forts of DR.. Lawrence and his asso'
ciates.
Those present congratulated the doc
tor on the successful dedication o:
this new institution and wished hin
God speed in his endeavors. A second
reception will be given this evening
| Thursday will be temperance night.
