ST. CHARLES PHONE TROUBLE
Court Refuses ITO Grant Injunction
Asked For BY Northwestern.

WINONA, AIINN.-The decision of Judge
Morris Of the United States court, refusing to
grant the temporary Injunction asked by the
Northwestern Telephone Exchange company to
restrain the city of st. Charles from interfering
with it in installing telephone exchange there,
gives the advantage to st. Charles in the liti-
CATION that may ensue, for, until the matter Is
definitely. settled by the, courts, the Northwest
ern company will be unable to install its ex
change. The company, however, may get ahead
of the courts. St. Charles has city election
in few weeks, and if council friendly to the
company is elected it may get franchise such
as it desires. The present council was willing
to grant franchise, but insisted on rate regu-
lation which the Northwestern would not accept.
For several years the company connected with
the city exchange at st. Charles, but last spring
the Tri-State company secured this connection,
and the only business the Northwestern now has
at St. Charles is thru single toll station.
The Laird-Norton comp y, which last fall
permanently closed its saw,4ill in this city, has
sold the plant to the Ingram-Day Lumber COM
, pany. The machinery will be removed to near
Gulf Port, Miss, where the Ingram company
has large timber holdings.

GAMBLING WITH DEATH
What Many of Us Are Doing Three
Times a Day.

For everything we get something is
taken away. Every act pulls two ways.
Some men in power dole out their souls
for it. They can t have soul and power
at the same time.
And so, in this ck-living age, most
Of us cant have energy and health az
the same time. One OF the other must
be lost, and it is usually health.
We know we are doing wrong and
would like to reform, but we have a
morbid fear of being laughed at IT we
aim to live and eat according to con-
science and good sense.
Some of us break away for a while
and enslave ourselves to diet. we
read about the hardy Scotsman being
fed on porridge and .oatcake, making
Cesar g army was fed on corn. But the
diet doesn't last long. We quickly
swing back into the great line. eating
and drinking to fulness like the rest,
eating anything and everything, at any
time, and any way we find it. We say
