The omnibus appropriations bill came

Hog Pepsin Must Go.
Used for Years in Dyspepsia Tablets.

Dirty, unhealthy Hog Pepsin must go.
Manufacturers of dyspepsia tablets

Of slaughter hogs, and under the
best conditions it is not only dirty
animal product, but the user is in dan
ger OF contagion from diseased hog.
Hog pepsin as a digestant has not
been successful, because it will not act
in an alkaline or medium condition of
the stomach. Sometimes it will act in
an acid condition of the stomach, but
a person who is suffering from stomach
trouble does not know what condition
the stomach is in. What the person
wants is something which will act in
any condition of the stomach and give
immediate relief.
It was for the above reasons that
Myers Pa-pay-a Tablets were placed on
the market. Myers Pa-pay-a Tablets
are purely vegetable and have for the
sin, Pa-pay-a. This Pa-pay-a is OBJ
tanned from the milk of the papaya
tree, which grows in South America and
has been used for years by the native
tribes to predigest tough meats and
other foods. The natives found that by
rubbing piece OF the papaya fruit
over tough meat, that it made it ten
der-that is, it predigested it.
The great advantage that Myers Pa
pay-a Tablets have over all other dys-
pepsia tablets is that they will act
perfectly in any condition Of the stom-
aeh and cure any case Of stomach trou-
BILE. They are small and very pleas
ant to take, tasting like good candy.

INSURANCE AGENTS OBJECT
Argue Strongly Against the Insurance
Committee Bill.

Representative fire insurance agents
fercely attacked the insurance bill pre-
pared by the house committee at it's
session yesterday afternoon. J. G. Nc
Intyre Of Minneapolis declared that if
it was true, as claimed, that the bill
would save $4,000 to the insured Of
Minnesota every year, it would add a
like amount to the profits Of the COM
panies at the expense of the agents. In
other words, if 100000 was cut off Of
the expense Of writing fire insurance in
Minnesota, half of it would go to the
companies in return for their promised
reduction Of 10 per cent. Mr.. McIn-
tyre held that the percentage paid to
agents now is not excessive averaging
Is per cent and only in rare cases reach
ing rs. -"
Another opponent Of the bill was
Freeman P. Lane Of Minneapolis, and
Representative Bowling called his at
tention to the fact admitted in the argu-
ments that it cost the companies from
IS to 40 per cent of the premiums to do
business in Minnesota and suggested
that some way should be found of re-
ducing that large expense which comes
out Of the ins,lred's pocket. Among
other opponents Of the bill were B. j.
Foster, P. w. Freemand and W. Y. Den
mis-. F. V. Brown favored the measure.

A BETTER TEST FOR OIL
RECOMMENDED TO LEGISLATIVE
COMMITTEE BY PAST AND PRES
EMIT STATE OIL INSPECTORS.

Minnesota is being used by the
Standard Oil company as a dumping
ground for product refused in other
neighboring states, according to the as.
sertion of Fred G. Schiffman of St.
Paul, former state oil inspector, before
the house committee on Illuminating
oils, yesterday afternoon. He said that
at present the only test in this state
for oils is the "fash' test, a protec-
tion against fire. He recommended that
the gravity test be adopted. He also
recommended discharging forty-three
deputy inspectors and letting eight men
do the inspecting at points where the
oil enters the state. At present it has
an inspection on entry, and a second in
spection where used.

or, Endorsed Mr.. Schiffman Is remarks,

LIE IS PASSED
IN THE HOUSE
INCIDENT OVER
COMMITTEE REPORT.
General Flower of st. Paul and Bur-
dette Thayer of Spring Valley Clash,
but Later All Is Serene, and Apollo
gies Are Accepted-Insurance Bill
to BE Amended.
81 challenge that statement. That is

81 challenge that statement. That is
ie.''
Like an electric spark the words flew
from Burdette Thayer as he faced Gen
eral NJ. D. Flower in the house today
"The gentleman is larger than / am,
but he dare not tell me that out in the
lobby General Flower flung back de-
family, as he walked across the narrow
area in the direction Of the Fillmore
man. .'..... >.'--.9
The speakers gavel fell sharply and
the house was in an uproar. 1t was
Mr.. Thayer who poured oil on the
troubled waters.
81 owe the gentleman and the house
apologize.'
81 gladly accept the apology" re-
turned Mr.. Flower. tHe, might have
told me something in confidence that I
ought not to have repeated.'
The episode occurred in a debate on
the Thayer oleomargarine bill, impos-
ing tax of $3.50 on wholesale and $48
on retail dealers in oleomargarine. The
public health committee had unanimous
ly reported against the bill. Mr.. Thay-
er had gone to Chairman Flower Of the
tions with certain friends of the bill
would force him to make a fight on the
floor to turn down the report. General
Flower was arguing on the floor against
the motion to reconsider the vote by
which the adverse report had been re-
ceived, when he said that Thayer him
self had said he doubted the constitu-
tionality of the bill. This brought the
explosive disclaimer from the Fillmore
man that ended in the passing Of the
lie. General Flower spoke at length
against the bill. His argument was re-
inforced by F. A. Carlson of Meeker
and J. H. Morley Of Steele, both promi-
nent dairymen, who said that the dairy
interests were not asking for the bill.
