Do Away With
Food AduIteration
The People Have a Right to Know
What They Are Eating.

Too great attention cannot be given
to the food we eat. The health of our
families depends on this food. Are we
to submit to the atrocities of the food
adulterators? No. We must have laws
to protect us and those laws must be
enforced.
1t is of interest to note that there is
at least one article of food about which
We can know everything. This is
Maita-Vita, popularity called "The Per-
feet Food the pure, all-grain prod
uct, in which every element of food
necessary to the proper nutrition of
the human body is found
In the manufacture of Malta-vita
the whole of the wheat is thoroughly
cleaned, cooked in the purity of abso-
Lutte cleanliness and then mixed with
the finest malt extract, made from spe-
cially selected barley. The cooking and
steaming of the wheat gelatinizes the
starch, and the malt extract, power
full digestive agent, converts this starch
into Maltese, or malt sugar, in which
Malta-Vita is very rich. Maltese is of
great food value, sweetens the wheat
sufficiently to make unnecessary the
use of any foreign sweetening agent and
the weakest stomach digests and assim-
Hates 1T without effort. Rolled into
wafer-like flakes and baked under in
tense heat, Malta-Vita comes from the
ovens crisp and brown, positively the
most delicious food in the world All

POSITIONS TO FILL.
Officer kIughertz Liable to Become
Tailor Under Sheriff Donahue.

from thursday s DdllV.
When Chief Donahue takes the office
of sheriff of Blue Earth county. Jan.
| it will leave vacancy in the office of
chief of police for Mayor Taylor to fill.
Chief Donahue as sheriff will also have
several appointments to make, including
jailor and several deputy sheriffs in va
rious parts of the county. There is a
well defined rumor out to the effect that
Patrolman Eli Klughertz is to be APP
MED by Mr.. Donahue, but on the con-
trary is partially confirmed. Mr.. Dona-
hue. being himself not blessed with a
family, states that he will appoint as
jailor man of family, so that the Jail
or's wife can be matron of the jail and
furnish the meals to the prisoners. This
is the practice followed by w. J. Glynn
when he was sheriff, D. I. Bowen be-
ing his iailor and Mrs. Bowen matron.
would doubtless make an efficient jailor.
Thus far there have been no applica-
tions filed for the position of chief of
police, nor anyone seriously mentioned.
If Officer Klughertz is appointed jailor
there will be two vacancies for the
mayor to fill on the police force. Mayor
Taylor says that he has given the mat
ter no thought as yet.

the effect of sending another set of rep
resentatives to congress to represent
special interests There is graft in labor
unions the same as elsewhere. Union
men who work are tired and go home at
night and do not vote. The good fell
lows in the unions organize little ring,
and bosses develop, as Sam Parks did in
New York. He was a CRATER and took
brides. The same men who paid him
brides were corrupting New York. A
construction company sold two privi-
leges, to say who in New York should
labor, and who should furnish building
material. To carry on this scheme, Parks
ordered strikes where contractors did
not "come in" This was the great trou-
BILE in the labor difficulties in Chicago
and San Francisco. Labor has been run
ming San Francisco for six years, and
from there the country is getting its
latest political scandals. 1t is the same
old story repeated there, corruption, tyr
amy and inefficiency.
at is because graft is so bad and eX-
tensive that think that there is hope"
declared the speaker. If you can make
the orafters see it in the right light
they will help to right things, as was
the case in one instance in st. Louis.
There are lots of good grafters, and as
a matter of fact there is not much diff
ference between good and bad men. The
thing to do is to make the government
representative, and first remove the
sources of our corruption. The railway
companies in the state and the public
utility companies in the cities are the
worst. In most states where there are
railway commissions, the railroads con-
troll them. and they will try to control
the interstate commerce commission. If
they do. the law for the regulation of
rates will fail Watch the attempt of
the government to assert sovereignty
over its ruler, the railroads"
Mr.. Steffens solicited questions, but
none were asked.

SIZED UP CHICAGO
Tom Browne Of London, Says It's
Toughest Spot on Earth.

London, Nov. l6.-Tom Browne, Il
well known artist and caricaturist, who
has been spending six months in the
United States, has been subjected to the
now customary interview On his impress
sions. OF Chicago, he is quoted as say
ing:
"The Chicago man talks only of dol
lars and his women folks. There is 4
tremendous amount of gambling going
on in Chicago" As for its women he ad-
mited he met some very nice individuals
OF the best American type. There were
others of whom he did not venture to
express an opinion.
Mr.. Browne, of course, visited the
packing houses, of which so much has
been heard in connection with the beef
investigation, but he declined to enter
into the controversy, as he was more of
curious visitor than a critic of the
conditions under which the packing in
dustry is carried on.
He also visited, in company with po-
lice reporters and detectives. Chicago
opium joints and haunts of the cocaine
fends. In respect to these places, Tom
Brown says:
Chicago is the toughest place | know.
The police, it is well known. are in
league with the people who run these
dens and money is taken by the men,
right through the force"
Tom Browne expressed the fear that
in his pictorial work he had trodden on
the susceptibilities of the Irish section
il Chicago. He explained this by saving
he found innumerable types for his pen
Gil there.
81 don't suppose" he said that 100
out of 1000 residents in Chicago have
been born there. A man makes his
money in Chicago and spends it in New
York. The English are not popular there
and the Irish would do anything to raise
laugh against an Englishman.'
He appreciated the tendency of nearly
all Americans to exaggerate. A man
would talk great deal about how he
hustled through his work, but he doubt
ed if, at the end of the day, he had done
more than an Englishman who went
about things in quiet, ordinary way.
When asked for his general impress
sion of the United States, Tom Browne
replied that he would not spend another
summer in Chicago for $4,000, but he
hoped to visit the country again.
America possesses such vast POSSIBLE
ities,' was his conclusion, that you can
only realize them by a personal visit.
especially If you so west. but | still
think the old country can hold its own
in everything"

IMPENDING CHANGES.
They Lead to Various Reports Gain
ing Currency.

From Fridays Daily.
There is a rumor abroad that Mayor
Taylor may not appoint new chief of
police when Chief Donahue takes the of
flee of sheriff Jan. l, but may allow
one of the men now on the force to
serve temporarily, as the term will ex-
pire in about three months. When asked
about this, Mayor Taylor said that that
was something new to him, but he would
make no further statement.
This morning Mayor Taylor received
two applications for appointment Oh the
police force to succeed Officer Klughertz
in case the latter resigns to take the
office of jailor under Sheriff Donahue.
The mayors troubles have therefore
really begun again.
A report that Gates Phillips was to
be appointed deputy sheriff by the in
coming sheriff could not be traced down.
Chief Donahue, when asked about it to-
day, replied that he had given the mat
ter of appointing deputies no thought
and had made no promises. He rather
intimated that he would not have as
many deputies as the present incum-
bent

HACKS, POOL AND BILLIARDS
Recorder Hodapp Has Somstti q to
Say Anent the Matter; Slot
Machiues Not Taxed.
From Fridays Daily

From Fridays Daily.
At the last meeting of the council,
Aid. Atchison brought up the matter of
the non-enfOrcement of the hack and
pool and billiard table license ordinance.
city recorders office shows that the al
derman's remarks were timely. The Ii
cense stubs show that on July 10, 1904,
George Atchison took out three hack Ii
ccnses for one year. Although these eX-
pired year ago last summer, he did
not take out any hack licenses until
Oct. Is last Then he failed to have
them date back to the time that the old
ores had expired, but had them dated
Oct. ID, 1906, and good for the year be-
ginning on that date. He took out Ii
censes for only two hacks. The license
fees for the year and quarter inter
vening remain unpaid.
The records also show that Eugene
Gov took out one hack license in Au-
gust, 1905, good for one year, and that
this has not been renewed since it eX-
pired. Walter Thackery took out hack
license in September, 1905, and his hack
is now owned by Eugene Coy, so it is
said, but the license for this hack has
not been renewed.
While the ordinance that required
hack licenses to be taken out at $40
year seems to require that the license
visions in it that indicate clearly that
it is intended to cover only hacks that
are used in transporting passenger to
and from the depots.
The hack license provision is not the
only one that has been disregarded. No
pool or billiard licenses have been col
lected during the past two years, al
though previous to that time all were
required to have licenses before they
were permitted to be operated In ex-
PLANTATION of this City Recorder HodapI
stated todays 81 told the aldermen a
year or so ago when they reduced the
licenses on billiard and pool tables to
So each that if the proprietors took out
licenses voluntarily it would be all well
and good, but that would not force the
collection of the license fees on the Ia
bles for the reason that the council al
lowed the slot machines to be operated
free. The slot machines make great
deal more money for the owners than
the billiard and pool tables do, and are
running full blast, yet the city gets
nothing from them. / do not consider
it right to discriminate in favor of the
slot machines"
Two years ago twelve or fifteen ia
bes were operating under licenses, but
not one today.
The ordinance provides that roller
skating Kinks shall pay license fee OF
$3.50 annually, but Chris Darielson's
rink has paid no license fee either last
NelI Vi IUlS. Lie dlueT1iIeH have JdlkcC
a little of reducing the fee to $50 9
year
The opera house is paying no license
fee, yet the little Majestic Theatre is
paying $50 year.
City Recorder Hodapp has recon-
mendel to the council that it pass an
ordinance so that it will provide that
all theatres and roller skating Kinks
shall pay reasonable license fees.
