A Review Of Some Concrete Work Done
in Minneapolis. L..-.t

"a Review Of Some Concrete Work Done
in Minneapolis.
a PROPER sequel to last week IS
~ article is review Of some ce-
I q ment work done in Minneapolis
during the building season just closed.
Some will deem the article criticism
son honest efforts, but it is only seem
Eingly so. Assuming that the builders
did the best they knew how, the fact
sstill remains that honest efforts some
times results in the greatest blunders.
II would never offer criticism on a.
tpiece of work without at the same time
suggesting better way, for the ability
ito criticize intelligently includes the
larger obligation of mutual helpfulness.
The photograph shows a building
serected on East Lake street. When we
consider the fact that an electric car
line is already established upon Lake
street, and that before the close of an
other season it will form an important
line of travel between st. Paul and
Lake Minnetonka, it requires no
prophet to foretell the rapid develop
ffment of Lake street into business
artery of considerable Importance. AL
ready numerous small business enter
prises have been established along the
street from Hennepin to Cedar avenue,
and in time these will give way to more
ambitious projects, which will demand
better structures for commercial pur-
poses.
This building already occupies an ad-
vantageous position and it seems that
sovaluable a corner should be the site
Of q building with a more attractive ap-
pearance, and greater adaptability to
expansion for future needs.
Perhaps the owner was guided wholly
by the question Of utility; he may have
argued that the business engaged there
in would not justify more pretentious
structure.
Might Have Built Higher.
He seems to have been lacking in that
faith which is the substance Of things

 spite of the opposition of the Depart

 bills introduced in Congress this ses-
 sion, the belief is strong at the Capi-
 tol that Representative Taylor's bill to
 regulate the Jurisdiction of the United
 States District Judges in the several districts and courts in which they pre-
 side in Alabama, will be favorably
 acted upon if the Alabama members will solidiy support it.
 A majority of the Representatives have already endorsed 1t. They were divided on the measures offered earlier in the session, to create an additional judge Mir. Taylor thinks If they car all get together his bill will be passed and he hopes and believes they car agree.He thinks that his bill probably re. moves the objections heretofore made as lit provides that from and after its pas sage the judge Of the Southern Judicial

Mnaic Aan TOnIc.

Good music is powerful tonic to many people especially those suffering from melancholia. It lifts them out of their solemn moods. dispels gloom and despondency, kills discouraged feelings and gives new hope, new life and new yIgor. It seems to put great many people into proper tune. It gives them the keynote of truth and beauty, strikes the chords of harmony, dispels discord from the life. scatters clouds and brings sunshine. All good music Is character building, because it's constant suggestion of harmony, order and beau ty puts the mind into a normal attitude
 Music clears the cobwebs out of many minds so that they can think better
 act better and live better.
