Warming.

You cannot have good health unless
your kidneys are sound. for the kidneys
filter the blood of impurities which
otherwise act as irritating poisons and
break down the delicate organs of the
body and cause serious trouble. If you
have kidney or bladder trouble and dc
not use Foley's Kidney Cure, you will
have only yourself to blame for results,
as it positively cures all forms of kidney
and bladder disease. Lloyd & Blaine,

FEWER CALLS MADE
ON POOR DEPARTMENT

A report of the city poor depart
ment s expenses for November shows
that there is not quite so strong a de-
mand for charity as last year.
The value of fuel given in the north
was .$559,9s. while the bill for Novem-
Der last year was $52s.65. The slight
increase is due to the cold snap week
ago, when several poor families were
caught unawares. It was unusually
mild during the entire month of Novem-
Der last year. The grocery bill for
last month was $475.55 and for Novem.
Der a year ago $5l1.40. Total expenses
for the month were $2,l20.06. Last

COLOSSAL FRAUD

sJoBLoM DEPRECATEs VAN DU-
SEN EXPOSURE
Former Head of Naturalization Move
ment Says Minneapolit Are Guilty
of Only Technical Wrong, and Not
to a Large Extent at That-He Is
Willing to Defend ALI Accused.

ssTrying to charge fraud in the issu-
ance Of naturalization papers in the
city of Minneapolis is foolishness and
an attempt to make an official record
fuss over lot of technicalities, said
Peter G. Sjoblom today, discussing the
report of 9. V. G. Van Dusen, special
examiner of the department of justice,
who has accused Minneapolis, among
other cities, of being guilty of colos-
sal naturalization frauds.
"There may be some truth to charges
of real fraud in big eastern cities, but
such claims won't go here, says MI.
Sjoblom, who for several years was the
head Of the naturalization movement
in Minneapolis. VA ~,
"What Mr.. Van Dusen is talking
about, in brief, is just this: Several
years ago, when the new naturalization
law was passed by congress, it went
and detailed information could be re.
ceived in Minneapolis for the course
of procedure under the new law, there
were something over hundred men
who were naturalized under the ole
law. These are the cases OF natural
zation frauds over which such fuss is
made. These men were perfectly, non
and there was no intent at fraud about
it. Some three months ago, when the
| matter was stirred up, their names Were
secured and efforts have been going on
ever since to get these men to take out
new papers. Many of them have done
so. More are doing it every day.
