Express Companies and Railroads.
There willhave to be a shake
up in the management of Ex-
press Companies under the
new law. Az it is now the off,
cials of railroads are officials
of Express companies and vice
versa, which would indicate a
conspiracy in restraint of trade
especially as there is no COM
petition between express com.
panies at joint points. What
the people are bound to have
before they get done legistat-
ing about corporations 10 COM
petition, or where competition
is not possible such just rates
as the situation demands. IF
the new law Is found not suffi.
cient to insure that, the law
will be further amended BY

pie instead of being as hereto

vention assembled at Minot,

Sec lit is the duty of every
citizen to obey the laws, and
not only to obey them but to
exert his influence to prevent
others from violating them.
Therefore, we are in favor of
the strict enforcement of every
law in our statutes, and we
condemn the republican party
for it's failure to redeem it's
platform pledges.
Sec. 2-We demand that all
property, both individual and
corporate. be taxed on an equal
basis. 1t is no injustice to re-
quire that corporate property
belonging to railway, telegraph
telephone. express and Sleep
ing car companies shall pay
the same proportion of taxes
as the farmer, merchant and
iaborer, and we arraign the
republican party of this state
for it's discrimination in favor
of these corporations.
Sec. 3-We are in favor of
amending the primary election
law to include the nomination
of all officers who are to be
elected at the ensuing general
election, including the prefer
ence for United States sena-
tors. except candidates for judi
cal and school offices, whose
names shall be placed on sep
arate ballots without party
designation.
Sec. 1--WE are in favor of
conferring on the RAILROAD COM
missioners of the state power
to establish and enforce both
passenger and freight rates on
traffic originating in the state.
Sec. 5-We are in favor of
establishing by constitutional
amendment the initiative and
referendum.
Sec. eve are in favor of
cooperating with the Wiscon-
sin Legislation in establishing
an equitable grain grading and
inspection law in that state
and we respectfully request
the state of Minnesota to
amend her grain grading law,
making the law equitable as to
grading and dockage and that
elevators be prohibited from
shipping out more grain of a
given grade than is taken In.
Sec. I've are in favor of
the minority party of the two
leading political parties of this
state having representation on
all state boards.
Sec. 8-We recognize the au-
thority vested in the governor
of this state to make all ap-
pointments allowed by law.
therefore we believe that he
should exercise the preroga-
tive belonging to his his Office
and not be dictated to or have
appointments made for him.
Sec. 9-We are in favor Of the
enactment Of an effective state
anti-pass law. prohibiting the
granting Of free transportation
to anyone except actual rail-
road employees.
Sec. 1O-We condemn the re-
publican party for it's enact
ment of an extravagant and
unreasopable capitol commis-
sion bilf and for the illegal and
anbusinesslike manner in
which il was attempted to use
state funds in connection there
with.

A Few Words About Apples.

The reason why apples are so mNch
more wholesome and digestible when
they are roasted, boiled or baked is be-
cause the heat thus applied breaks
down the cells of the apple, and thus
the acid and the sugar contained in
them are more generally diffused
through the apples, and the moisture is
also dispersed.
! A French way of cooking apples
which we have seldom come across, eX-
cepting in the homes of those who have
lived in that country, is as follows:
Core and pare your apples and place
them in a baking tin, having filled the
space left by the removal of the core
with butter and brown sugar. Sprinkle
brown sugar and bits of butter about
between the apples in the tin and then
bake. These pommes au beurre are
most delicious
An apple and orange salad is also a
very nice and little known way of using
apples. Slice the oranges. after re
moving skin and scraping off the pulp,
into a bowl, mix with the slices of some
apples cut into squares or eighths Put
plenty of sugar i'm between each layer
and mix well. Let this be made about
an hour before you need to use it. 1t
is nice dish. for the oranges give
very delicate flavor to the apples, and
both go very well together.
Apples are considered wholesome even
when eaten raw One taken before
breakfast every morning is supposed
to be good for the complexion. and
those who suffer from liver trouble or
govt would do well to use them Ap-
pies are considered to be of high value
Is brain food, owing to the amount of
phospherous they contain. Dyspeptics
are often ordered apples, and, curious
ly enough, they are preventive of jaun-
dice.
When a tickling sensation in your
throat warns you of the coming of
cough, you would find a tablespoonful
of the plup of a roasted apple taken
at night a great relief.
Stewed apples placed in the center of
a rice pudding make a variety II that
everyday dish. When the rice has
been cooked on the fire pour it into a
pie dish and make a space for the ap-
pies in the middle. Small pieces of but
ter scattered over the top and some
brown sugar are a great Improvement.
Bake in a slow oven

How to Reduce Flesh.

The gospel of longevity is temper
ance ineating and drinking, physical
culture, do not worry, and seek sun
shine.
We can no more live to be healthy
without sunshine than can flowers.
The more outdoor life we have, the
better for us. To continue in the en-
joyment of good health, moderation in
diet is absolutely necessary. The ma
jority of us eat too much and drink
at the wrong time. Do not drink while
eating; drink between meals, not with
the meals. Then, as a rule, women do
not exercise enough. If my lady wants
to retain her health and beauty, too
much stress cannot be laid on the word
exercise, for it is by regularly practic-
ing simple exercises of physical culture
that my lady retains her grace of fig
ure. wards off obesity, that dread of
middle age, or if inclined to leanness,
rounds out attractive curves where be-
fore were but bones and hollows.
On rising in the morning, throw
open the window, drink a glass of cold
or hot water, then go through some
physical culture exercises. After this,
take bath, and follow by brisk rub
down, which puts the whole body in a
glow and tones up the nerves and
muscles.
This method persisted in will work
wonders in improving ones general
health, and if you are possessed of too
much flesh, it will be wise to avoid
certain foods, such as potatoes, rice,
sweets. sugar, beans, peas, farinaceous
foods, creams, etc.
Always eat toast or special bread
and biscuits for the obese
Drink between meals-say, glass of
water on rising, another at II, at and
last thing at night. Do not eat more
than will appease the appetite. Do not
take much meat, and certainly do not
take spirits, wine. or beer. Lemonade.
is the best possible drink

Real Value of Royal Crowns.

There is something about the symbols
of royalty which appeals to the i'm
agtnation Of every one. In the popular
mind the picture Of a reigning sover-
eign is always surmounted by the
crown whie41 Is syf1lboIIc of his tempo
raj power This ornament. which plays
so important a part Ia the coronation
ceremonies of most European soverigns,
has nothing to DO with that ceremony
In Spain, Belgium or Turkey. In Tur-
key its place is taken by a sword. which
is regarded. as the symbol of divine
authority. = Is t.-
A curious composite crown is the
crown of Hungary, in possession of the
emperor Of Austria. 1t consists of a
circle of gold, richly jewelled with
pearls and other costly gems, to which
has been attached an old Byzantine
crown, beafmgS an enormous Sapphire
in a. setting of green stones. Half a
century ago this crown came into the
possession Of Kossuth, and in spite of
the most dihgent search nothing was
seen of it for five years. At the end
of that time 1t wes discovered by a
peasant in hollow tree and restored

crowns of Europe is the famous iron

that it has never showed a mark of
