with good report of what he heard there

stand better than any other western city.
Said Mr.. Jamieson:
l. Our foreclosure laws with the one-year
redemption clause are not popular in the
east and operate to our disadvantage in
securing loans. Eastern clients take them
into consideration when they make loans.
That is, they will not loan as heavily

Several saloonkeepers who think the police
department has no power to regulate things,
have been disciplined by Superintendent DOYLE
and License Inspector Longfellow, and until
further notice will close their places at II

day Sundays.
The license inspector ordered all saloonkeepers
to prohibit women from coming into their places.

The. New Laboratories.

For years the work Of the state
dairy and food department has been
hampered by inadequate laboratory ia
cilities. The laboratories have been
cramped into two little rooms in the
basement of the old capitol, inadequate
in size, insufficientlly lighted, and poor.
ly ventilated. It has been absolutely
impossible to take care Of all the dairy
and food department. work in these
laboratories. Inspectors would get
busy for while collecting samples Of
food suspected of illegality, and would
then have to take an enforced vacation
till the laboratories got rid Of the
work on hand. The state capitol com,
mission promised suitable quarters in
the new capitol, but greater pull -, OF
other departments crowded out the
capitol commission to spend $4,000 in
little laboratory building to be sepas:r,,
ate from the new CAPITOL but this did
not materialize Nov the dairy and
food, commission has taken the matter
out.=of the hands Of the capitol COM
mission and is equipping the new
laboratories out of dairy and food funds
and will ask the next legislature to
make good the expenditure with an adj
ment. State Chemist Hortfelt is hav-s
ing the laboratories arranged after his
own plan. He is using seven rooms in
all, rooms formerly occupied by the
insurance department., military store
keeper, and the public examiner. These

For many years the Minnesota State
Historical society was fortunate in hay-
ing in its employ one Of the most eff
cient psychologists in the United States,
the late J. ". Brewer. The work was
not an employment to him; it was rec
reation, pleasant pastime, in which
were spent long years of tireless inves-
tigation and research, study and writ
ing. No man in the country was bet
ter posted on Indian lore than Mr..
Brewer. His many writing on this sub
ject are now of inestimable value.
They will ever be a monument to his
life work, the more to be appreciated
as the years roll on. In his work he
collected souvenirs and relics of great
instrinsics worth and almost without
number. These have had to be stored
away in basement vaults of the old
capitol heretofore because of lack Of
room to display them. Recently the

DR.. G. S. Caverly, of Rutland, presi-
dent of the state board of health, was
visited Saturday by NJ. V. Dunham of
powder firm, the sale of one of whose
brands has been forbidden by the state
board of health.
A sample of this baking powder was
bought of Vermont grocer, analyzed at
the state laboratory of hygiene, and
found to be below standard. A copy Of
the analysis and letter forbidding further
sale of the baking powder were sent to
the grocer by the state board of health.
They were forwarded by him to the
baking powder company, and Mr.. Dun
ham was sent to Vermont to try to ad-
just matters. He told Doctor Caverly
that the company already had recalled
over two hundred cases of baking
powder which had been shipped to Yer
mont, but that the goods had been sold
to nearly all of the small grocers
throughout the state and these could not
be reached. In order to protect its
customers, the company has asked that
grocers having a stock of this baking
powder on hand be allowed to sell it,
the company promising not. to sell any
more of it in this state.
Doctor Caverly says, that, although
the board has not taken any action in
the matter, it is not probable that the
request be granted
