OLD PEOPLE

Old People have more OF the pains,

ton could resist often affiict them.

Brooten Ignores Court.

ST. CLOUD, Mimi, April 4.-Despite
the decision of the supreme court that
the village of Brooten could not con-
tinue in the flour business, the al
legged municipal mill at that place is
still running and flour is being sold
from the town hall. L. Nerlien of
Minneapolis secured the decision in the
supreme court, which is apparently be-
ing utterly disregarded by the village.
Flour is being sold as usual" said
DR.. Stuart Leech today. mo court or
individual can prevent US from selling
flour. the village is not, never has
been and never expects to be in the
business of making and selling flour.
1t may be convicted of doing so, but it
will be convicted of something it has
not done.'
