SPLIT DEPART | TMENTS
Bill Planned to Separate Dairy
and Food Inspection


1t is reported in legislative circles
that an effort will be made at the pres
ent session of the legislature to secure
the passage of a bill divorcing the two
branches of the dairy and food depart
ment.
George L. Dingman, of Minneapolis,
who has been assistant dairy and food
commissioner, with the food depart
ment under his direct supervision, is
credited with being behind the move
ment to enact legislation that will Gre
ate two departments of what is now
one
Mr.. Dingman's measure, 1t is said,
viii not only make a separate depart
ment of the food inspection, but will
take the appointing power of the COM
missioner from the governor. He was
candidate for reappointment to his
old position, but failed to secure the
place, and Milton Trenham, of Alexan-
dria, was named as assistant commits
sioner.
The claim is advanced by those who
are in favor of the separation of the
two classes of work in the dairy and
food department that there is nothing
In common between them, and that
none but expert food specialists should
be named to the food inspection bu-
sreau. Leading members of the legis-
lature do not take seriously the effort
to divorce the subdivisions of the de-
partment, and declare that any bill
which would encroach on the govern
or's appointing power will fail in the
legislature.

A Bond OF Sympath,

Bond OF Sympathy
The inside nerve system is plainly the
most important system in the human
body. Our life rests on the action of
the vital organs. While they work we live.
When they stop we die. While they per-
form their duties properly we are well.
When they perform their duties poorly We
are i'll. And the vital organs, each and
every one, depend upon the inside nerve
system, for it not only regulates them
It operates and controls Them
The work of the inside nerves is not
only the most lmportant-it is the most
iaborious. For our other nerves are exert
ed only at will. We think and talk and
exercise only as we feel inclined and
when we are tired we rest But the ston-
ach. the heart, the liver, the kidneys,
must constantly and continuously-dav
ana nlght-fresh or tired, perform their
necessary duties. We have no way of
Knowing even that they are tired or at
fauit save the weakening of the organs
they supply.
But this strong bond of sympathy has
useful purpose. For it shows us clear
iy that all are branches of one great
system-that If We make the system
strong we strengthen every branch This
Is why SO many ailments can be cured by

EXPERTS TESTIFY TO
VALUE OF BUILDINGS
Make Affidavits Regarding Ernst and
Exchange Properties

Amdavits produced yesterday before
Judge o. B. Lewis in proceedings in
which Rev. George Meyer, of New Jer-
sey, seeks the appointment of a re-
ceiver for the Ernst and Exchange
buildings went to show that the prop
critics are worth, in the opinion of real
estate men, from $215,000 to $4,000.
Judge Lewis ordered a continuance
of the hearing to Saturday, when the
plaintiff will present evidence to prove
his theory of the value of the two
properties above the encumbrances
upon them. Father Meyer has begun
mortgage foreclosure proceedings
against the properties and asks for a
receiver to collect the rents and reve-
nues from the buildings to apply on the
interest on his note. The claims against
the properties aggregate $165,0e0, and
the afhdayits of twenty-five to thirty
realty men, produced by j. Watson
Davidson, who recently purchased
Ernst's interests at trustees sale,
fixed the value of the two buildings at
from $4,000 to $4,000 more than the
encumbrances. The Ernst building is
situated at the corner of Wabasha and
Fifth streets, and the Exchange build
ing is a four-story structure on Waba-
sfla, between Fourth and Fifth streets.

YOUNG PROVIDES FOR
COUNTY ATTORNEYS
Attorney General Holds That Counties
Muse Provide for Pushing Gases


Attorney General E. T. Young has
given an opinion that the provision of
the law authorizing contingent funds
for the use Of county attorneys in the
investigation and trial of criminal
cases, is a mandatory provision and not
directory.
The opinion was given at the re-
quest of N. l.. Glover, county attorney
of Cottonwood county. The county
commissioners had failed to provide a
contingent fund for the county attor-
ney. The attorney general holds that
the legislature deemed it wise for a
county to expend money in the inves-
tigation and preparation of criminal
cases rather than to have justice mis-
carry or to have unjustifiable cases in
court. The law, the attorney general
says, is mandatory in it's provisions
and the county commissioners of Cot
tonwood county should have set aside
not less than $100, nor more than ST.
000, as contingent fund for the pros
ecuting attorney. The law construed
is chapter 204, General Laws of 1903.

Inside Nervesl
Only one out of every SO has perfect
health. OF the 81 sick ones, some are
bed-ridden, some are half sick, and some
are only dull and listless. But most of
the sickness comes from a common
cause. The nerves are weak. Not the
nerves you ordinarily think about-not the
nerves that govern your movements and
your thoughts.
But the nerves that, unguided and un-
known, night and day, keep your heart
in motion-control your digestive appa-
ratus-regulate your liver-operate your
kidneys.
These are the nerves that wear out and
break down.
1t does no good to treat the ailing or
