awfnl suffering on the burning sands

the pavement on the main street
of that city, laid Is years ago, has
never been torn up and conse-
quently has never cost anything
for repairs. This is made possible
because before the pavement
was laid an underground pipe gal
lery was constructed, in which all
underground lines can be placed
without disturbing the pavement.
There are still few things we
can learn from the old country, Ii
we study their doings with a de-
termination to learn.

Pure Food.

ST. PauL-All articles of food sold in
Minnesota must be true to their
names, according to a ruling made by
-. K. Slater, state dairy and food COM
missioner.
Mr.. Slater rules that the label must
contain the names of all the ingredi-
ents and that no technical terms which
the public cannot understand shall be
used. For instance, baking powder
containing phosphate, alum and starch
must not be labeled as containing
calcium acid phosphate and anhydrus
soda alum. /
The ruling is made with especial
reference to the new code which will
go into effect March 1, 1906, but the
commissioners expresses the hope that
the new law will be com piled with at
once, so that there will not be a food
of illegal goods on the market next
March. He has prepared a letter,
which will be sent to the jobbers and
manufacturers in the state, explaining
the effects of the new law.

looks after the future welfare of

lects one thing that possibly
would be more consolation and
comfort in case he was called
away. And that is a modern pho

women and children. The men
are always putting it off until
finally a black gowned woman

all she has. Don't you think a

important Decision by
the Supreme Court

Judge Poffenbarger of the Su-
preme Court of Appeals on Tues
day evening handed down an
opinion in the case of G. Fl. Shaw
VS.. City of Charleston. Shaw sued
the city for $4,000 damages on
account of the death of his 7-year-
old son, resulting from the lat
ter's being confined in the Char
lesion Jail, which is alleged to be
unsanitary and unhealthy. Judge
Poffenbarger affirmed the decis-
ion of the lower court in favor of
the city.
Following is the syllabus:
1. A municipal corporation is
not liable for injuries to a per-
son occasioned by the unsanitary
condition of it's prison while he is
confined therein for violation Of
city ordinance.
2. The maintenance of a pris-
on is the exercise of a purely gov
ernmental power and a municipal
corporation is not liable for in
juries caused by negligence or of
it's officers and agents respecting
it's prison or persons confined
therein.
3. A father cannot maintain
an action in his own right for
damages on account of negligent
killing of his child.

Brain Food Nonsense.

Another ridiculous food fad has
been branded by the most compe-
tent authorities. They have dis
covered the silly notion that one
kind of food is needed for brain
another for muscle, and still an
other for bones. A correct diet
will not only nourish a particular
part of the body, but will sustain
every other part. Yet, however
good your food may be, its nutri-
ment is destroyed by indigestion
or dyspepsia. You must prepare
for their appearance or prevent
their coming by taking regular
doses of Green's August Flower,
the favorite medicine of the
healthy millions. A few doses
aids digestion, stimulates the liver
to healthy action, purifes the
blood and makes you feel buoyant
and vigorous. You can get DR..
