system DR.. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription can do only good-never
harm. Its whole effect is to strength
en-, invigorate and regulate the whole
female system, and especially the
pelvic organs. When these are de-
ranged in function or affected by
disease, the stomach and other or
gans OF digestion become sympa-
thetically deranged, the nerves are
weakened, and long list of bad, I'M
pleasant symptoms follow. Too
much must not be expected of the

young women appreciate the shock
OF the system through the change
which comes with marriage and
motherhood. Many neglect to deal

and weaknesses which too often
come with marriage and mother
hood. not understanding that this
secret drain is robbing the cheek OF
its freshness and the form of its fair

PRESENTED WITH A SWORD
Fred W.. Johnson Of New Ulm Re-
membered BY Friend.

New Ulm Review: Friday evening
was one that f. w. Johnson, quarter
master general on the governors staff,
will not soon forget. About nine
o'clock OH that particular evening a
number of friends gathered in his den at
the Dakota and after an hour or so of
social conversation sprung a pleasant
surprise. General Bobieter of the bri-
gade staff was spokesman. In a few
words, appropriately worded, he told
the object of the gathering. Then he
handed over to Mr. johnson a presenta-
ton sword that is without question one
of the finest pieces of Workmanship eve:
rendered to an officer of the national
grard. The weapon is richly emblazon-
ed with gold and the insignia of the
olartermaster's rank, and car certainly
be handed down as a priceless heirloom
to the recipients children. The donors
were the generals immediate military
and political friends and to all of them
he desires to express his sincere thanks.
after the presentation, Mrs. Johnson
entertained those present with an even
ing lunch.

FINE POINT INVOLVED
Action Started to Determine the La
biIity of Threshermen.
.ao.xr, INoil

From thursdays Tally.
An interesting point of law is in.
volved in an action that has been instl.
tuted by III. L. Carpenter, farmer liv-
ing near Elysian, against James War.
ner, the owner Of threshing mac;:ne.
Carpenter has started the suit to deter
mine the liability of thresher men, and
it is attracting great attention. The
defendant, who operated a threshing rig
last fall, did not take his machine to the
farm of Carpenter, as expected by the
latter, and the latter states in his COM
plant that there had been an under.
standing that Warner was to do the
threshing at his place. As result of
his alleged failure to fulfill the terms
of his alleged agreement there was de
lay in getting another engine, and the
plaintiff claims loss of $245, for which
he asks Judgment. A verbal agreement
is usually the only contract between
thresher and farmer, and the point that
has been raised will be of particular in.
terest to the former class.

immense undertaking. But yet they are
going to make the try. The contest will
be an interesting one and will show the
relative strength of the opposing forces.
The fight for revision may ultimately

100000 Babies
Are Sacrificed
State Official Declares Adulterated
Foods an Appalling Menace.

At a recent meeting of the executive
committee of the National Association
of State Dairy and Food Departments,
the secretary of a state board made
the assertion, and produced figures to
prove it, that the death of nearly half
a million little children in America
last year was due to poisons admins
tered in impure foods.
Welcome, indeed, is food that is
known to be pure and wholesome. rich
in nutrition and good to eat,-so good
that no other food can take it's place.
We refer to Malta-Vita, that delicious
crisp. whole-wheat food. Among all
the cereal foods we believe Malta-Vita
is the only food that is simply and
wholly pure grain product and nothing
else, except little salt 1t is free
from any foreign sweetening agent or
other adulterant, and is made in abb
solute cleanliness.
A perfect breakfast is impossible
without MaIta-Vita, and it's just as
good three times a day. Containing
every food element of the best white
wheat and pure barley malt extract, it
is intensely vitalizing and easily di-
gested. Let your children have all the
Malta-Vita they want and you need not
fear for their health. Try some your
self with cream or fruit. You never
tasted anything quite SO good. All

stone floor in the engine room at the
st. Peter state hospital affected Joseph
Anderson, fireman, in curious man
rer. Although able to talk nationally
and sensibly upon all subjects, he was
deprived of his memory for nearly
twelve hours.
Anderson climbed to the top of
boiler to close a steam valve. In de-
scending he allowed himself to drop
distance of six feet, but he slipped on
the floor and the back of his head struck
against the stone tagging. After being
hurt he got to his feet without assis-
lance, but in a few moments his fell
low workmen discovered he had lost the
faculty of recollection, and did not rec
ognize his familiar surroundings, nor re-
call the faces of his companions. When
questioned it was found that he could
not remember his name nor the nature
CT his occupation, and that he had for
gotten the way TO his nome.
Anderson was taken to the infirmary
and examined by one of the house ply
sicians. There was no abrasions or
other indications OF an injury to his
head, but he complained of a slight
headache and a torpid sensation. Sew
eral hours later the pain began to dis.
appear and as soon as it was considered
safe he was led to his home by an at
tendant. Scarcely had he spoken to his
wife before his memory began to re.
turn, and he is again in his normal con-
dition. He says shat from the time he
