NOT SCARED OUT
Board of Control on Proposed Flax
Irvine Plans.

Members of the board Of control re-
fuse to take alarm at the latest move
of the Irvine trust, which is said to be
preparing to make flax Irvine in south
ern Minnesota by a new process, and
undersell the state plant at Saltwater.
Judge Q. B; Gould, chairman of the
board, said today:
If the new fiber is made success
fully, we can doubtless get machinery
and make a flax Irvine in the state
plant: At any rate, such competition
would certainly reduce the price Of
manila and sisal, 60 they, would con,
or 8 cents, while few years ago it was
as low as 31a or cents''
The capacity Of the Minnesota plant
is being increased to meet the heavy
demand from Minnesota farmers. This
year the plant will make 100000
pounds out Of about 100000 used in
the state, and next year it will turn out
100000 pounds. The use of corn
binders is expected to give a greater
market for Irvine hereafter.

.OYERWORK IS
A DISSIPATION
BUT DOES NOT HAPPEN OFTEN,
SAYS SPECIALIST.
"Pace That Kills in New York Is Not
Prevalent in Minneapolis People
May Live Too Rapidly in Many
Ways-Heredity Plays Prominent
Part in Mans Strength.

"The pace that kills. is not so rap
i'd in Minneapolis as in the eastern
cities. This is the opinion Of the ex-
perts in nervous diseases. Reports
from New York show that the annual
death rate from heart failure and
Bright IS disease has increased almost
oo per cent since 1868. The reasons
given by the Gotham physicians is
that people are worn out by the fierce
too rapid lives.
VIZ IT IS undoubtedly true,'' said DR..
eases are on the increase and that this
is due to dissipation and excess. A
man may dissipate by overwork, but
this does not happen very often. Peo-
pie, may live too rapidly in many ways,
nervous or kidney diseases. However,
immediate records for Minneapolis are
not available, but I do not think that
the increase is alarming.
There are too many considerations
to be taken into account before dog
matte statement can be made. How
about the men who do not overwork,
who lead straight lives and who, per
hafos, are earnest church workers
Sometimes i'm they break down in middle
life, Then there are the men who work
hard. who take their pleasures immod-
erately, who do not take precautions
and yet when they are 60 years of age
settle down and live comfortably until
they die at 80. You have to 90 back
to heredity. It is necessary to 20 back
and see what grandfathers were do.

UNITED CHURCH MEN
SEND WORD TO NORWAY

At an enthusiastic mass meeting of
the delegate to the United Norwegian
Lutheran conference in Augustana
church this afternoon, the following
resolutions were heartily and enthusi-
astically passed and ordered cabled at
once to President Berner Of the Nor
wegian storthing.
Resolved, That we, the members Of the
United Norwegian Church Of America
.sympathize with the Norwegian people
in the serious times which it is now
passing thru, and express the wish that
God will preserve our old fatherland and
protect it's rights.
And that the northern brother people
will be bound together in freedom and
peace.
An unusual feature of the meeting
was a great choir composed wholly Of
ministers who sang in a most feeling
manner Norwegian patriotic airs.
The mass meeting was arranged by
E.. K. johnson Of the United Church
eminary, President N. Kildahl Of st.
Olafs college, and Rev. N. G. Brun
whose resolutions of similar import
were laid on the table at regular ses-
sion a few days ago.

DIR. LEONARD GOES EAST
This May Indicate That He Will Be
Next City Physician.

There are indications that Dr.. Will
lam Leonard has at least "hunch -
that he will be the next city physician.
Since the first Of the year DR.. leonard
has been spoken Of as the most likely
candidate for the place. Recently he
received a leave Of absence from the
health department to make an extend
ed trip thru the east. His friends say
he is spending his time visiting the hos
pitfalls Of the large cities and learning
about the most successful systems in
vogue there. DR.. P. M. Hall, health
commissioner, said today that DR.. Leo
nard was in the east, but he could not
name the city.
The election by the board Of charities
and corrections will be held July 8 and
friends of DR.. Leonard are confident
that he will be elected to the place.
The other offices at the disposal Of the
board are in doubt. There is little
talk Of candidates to succeed w. p.
Barton as superintendent of the poor
and Frank Mcdonald as superintendent
of the workhouse.

STEAMERS WILL PROFIT
River Navlgators Have No ScrupIes Re
garding Sunday Excursions.

Steamboat men expect to profit by the
dfscontinuance Of Sunday excursions by
the Milwaukee and North Western roads.
The Milwaukee road will run excursions
contracted before the recent Earring or
der went into effect. An excursion will
be run Sunday from La Crosse to Winona,
but it was arranged for some time ago.
With a few exceptions the field will be
left open to the steamer men, who are
CORRESPONDENCE delighted.
The action Of the roads, including the
Great Western, it is said, has resulted
in part from the strong effort made by
the various pastors associations, who
have neglected to work upon the steam
boat owners, however. Desire to shut
down all Sunday movement, except neces-
sary trains, has been brought about to
some extent by the evident need Of the
employees for regular weekly rest. =

CLOUD DISPELLED,HE
ORGANIZES A BANK

Chicago is to have a new bank at the
head Of which will be I. N. Perry, late
president of the National Bank Of
North America. The name will be the
American National with 100000 CAPT
tai and $l25,0O0 surplus. It is under
stood that all the stock has been sub
scribed for at 1925 share and that
large packing interests are in the deal.
Interest attaches locally to the fact
that Mr.. Perry is the banker who has
just been acquitted by jury Of firing
the car shops at Hegewisch, ILL.,, on
which his bank had loaned large sums
of money. Opinion has been divided
as to the completely Of the well-known
banker in the affair. Evidence went
to show that the whole matter was a
plot to damage the standing of Mr..
Perry. Due to the trouble his bank
went out Of business, j. S. Pomeroy,
cashier Of the Security bank, Minneap-
oils, was cashier Of the National Bank
of North America until it was alb
sorbed by the Continental National.

POURED The OLEO
DOWN The DRAIN
BoARDING-HoUsE KEEPER Had
AN UNEXPECTED CALL.
A Revenue Officer Dropped in to Learn
About the Taxable Imitation Land
lady Tainted and Got Rid of the Con-
traband-Then Her Husband Squared
UP the Account.

Guests at fashionable boarding
house learned little of the ms and
outs of housekeeping last night when
S. N. Nichols, deputy collector of in
ternal revenue, paid a visit to the
landlady. Thru the records kept by
of every ounce of oleomargarine is
known to the revenue officers. AS q
large quantity was being used by tue
particular boarding house, Mr.. Nichols
called to see if it was resold.
He presented himself at the door and
was shown into the parlor, where sev.
eral boarders were sitting. He did not
wish to disclose his business to, the
guests, as he thought it would have
been embarrassing to the landlady.
However, the landlady insisted, and he
said that he was a revenue officer.
With. scream she fell on the couch
and tainted away. The guests rushed
storatives and looked askance at Mr..
Nichols. Finally they carried the land
lady to the kitchen and the revenue
officer was left standing. For about
half hour he waited and could hear in
the kitchen sound of rushing waters,
Suddenly the door opened and the
landlady, with a magnificent bow said:
"We have not an ounce OF OleOmar-
garine in the house, SO there.
81 don't suppose you have, now that
it is all gone down the sewer" said Mr..
Nichols. =" [ am sorry you wasted 50
many pounds. All I wanted to know
was whether you really received it. !"
This brought on another weeping at
tack and the landlady threw herself in
chair and rocked violently back and
forth, refusing to speak. Just then her
husband appeared.
"This man has insulted me,' the
| landlady declared.
The officer in the meantime was going
down the steps and the husband rushed
after him. Mr.. Nichols declared that
he had othing further to say and that
future business would have to be con-
Quoted in st. Paul at the internal rev
enue offices. When he reached his of.
had taken an automobile and was there
before him with the complete records.

BELIEVES IN TUBERCULIN
| Big Dairy Firm Asks to Have It's Herd
Tested

City Veterinarian A. A. Reyes yes
terday applied the tuberculin test to
seventy-fve COWS in the big herd of
Riedel & Nelson at Fridley. This firm
has come to the conclusion that the
tuberculin test is to all intents and
tuberculosis and has assured the health
officer that not another COW will be
placed in it's herd until it has been
officially inspected by the health de-
partment and found to be sound. This
action on the part Of the firm is highly
gratifying to the health department,
as the. herd, numbering over 200 cows,
market. The action Will tend to dis
perse the opposition which group Of
dairymen has fomented against the
cattle inspection.
