ID CURE THE BLUES IS 4 SIMPLE TRICK II Takes Only Five Minutes and

 Sour With Life-Art of ProIonging Life.

From the Philadelphia North American.
 If you have the blues, if your brain suddenly feels "overfull with emptiness" try this: Put both hands, one over the other, on your abdomen, just below the navel, and press as hard as you can without causing pain. Then push your hands upwards till they touch the ribs. Repeat this movement 15 or 20 times.
 It is pretty certain that at the end of the experience your view of the world will have grown brighter. There are sev- eral ways similar In nature to produce the same result, but this one is the easiest and quiskest. All it does is to restore to general circulation surplus of blood &C., cumulated by the portal vein at the ex- pense of the rest of the organism.

Tony Wcyker Falls Twenty-Five Feet
Into Area Space.
From Tuesdays Daily.

FROM IueSudy > DdhS.
Tony Weyker had a narrow escape
from death at about ten o'clock last
night, while the dance at the a. o. U.
w. hall was in progress. He went out
upon the back iron stairway at the rear
of the second floor hallway, and in some
way managed to fall over the railing
into the deep area beneath, striking on
the ground twenty five feet below. A.
G. Laack heard means issuing from the
area, and when he discovered the cause
he summoned several men and together
they carried Weyker on board through
the cellar door and up the cellar stair
way to the drug store and thence up
| to Dir. Warmers office. 1t was found
that Weyker was not badly hurt.
Dir. Warner states that Weyker must
have struck a couple of Instructions to
break his fall He had a severe sprain
of his wrist and his bowels were shaken
up, but today he is doing fairly we'll
Had the man struck his head on some
of the Instructions he might have been
killed.

| the construction of the sewer. This
street was rolled and covered with stone
dust and rolled again.
! jackson street from Fourth to Fifth
was paved with tar macadam, using our
| local lime rock and the tar was donated
| by the Mankato Gas and Electric Light
company.
Aside from the tar the cost of the
work was about $500 for one block.
$50 feet long, with twenty-five feet in
width of macadam. This work was eX-
perimental to determine the merits of
such a pavement when built with local
material.
Under more favorable conditions as to
weather and conditions of street the
cost of the work could be reduced and
also better results obtained.
The unusually wet weather for the
past four years has made it difficult to
keep the dirt roads and streets in re-
pair.
To make it farther difficult the wa
ter in the river has been so high that
no gravel could be obtained from that
source.
So for this time the only gravel for
street work that could be obtained was
taken from some cellar that was being
dug.
Last spring the council and the board
succeeded in getting the gravel from a
lot OH Front street for which we had to
pay - cents per load in the pit. Some
400 loads were thus obtained.
The civic pride of our citizens is con
stantly demanding better conditions
along the line of cleaner and better kept
streets,
The condition of streets and boule
wards of ten or even five years ago
would not be tolerated today.
1t has been the aim of the board to
keep abreast of the public sentiment by
and constructing narrower
roadways and wider laws, keeping the
street free from rubbish and weeds and
in as good repair as our circumstances
would permit.
While we realize all conditions and de-
mands have not been met. yet, unless
we are misinformed by those of our
citizens who have opportunities to visit
other cities of the size of Nlankato,
and by strangers visiting our city,
there is reason to believe that
Mankato is in the. whole as well kept
and attractive city i'll which to make a
home, as exists in our country today.
The following contracts were assessed:

MAYORS AND THE LID.
Can the Executives BE Compelled to
Enforce the Law.

st. Paul, May 3.-Whether or not
the state can compel mayor of a city
to enforce the liquor laws within the
borders of the city will depend upon
the decision of the supreme court i'll
the ease of the State VI. J. T.. {.
Robinson. which was argued and sub
mitted
Robinson, before he resigned to be-
come a state senator, was mayor OF St
Cloud. having been elected on wide
open ticket. Having been defeated i'll
the election, the "lid" people of St
Cloud tried another plan and petition
ed the attorney general of the state
to start proceedings to have the mayor
ousted for malfeasance in office. At
tornev General E. L. Young started the
suit in the Stearns county district
court.
The code says that the mayor of a
city shall enforce the liquor laws and
make complaint and cause the arrest
of persons violating them. If he fails
to do this he shall be guilty of NAL
feasance in office and NAV be removed
The defendant interposed demurrer
on the ground that under the charter
of the city the city council has the
right to remove the MAYOR if he fails
to perform his duty and that this power
of the council is exclusive. The court
overruled the demurrer and the defend
ant appealed to the supreme court. At
torney General Young argued the case
for the state Yesterday and Theodore
Breunner argued for the appellant.
| A1thOIIph the defendant is now out
of office and cannot be ousted he is
liable to a fine of 800 to $500 shoult
the case be decided against him.

Do Away With
Food AduIteration
The People Have a Eight to Know
What They Are EATING.

Too great attention cannot be given
20 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
Malta-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. a power
full digestive agent, converts this starch
into Maltese, or malt sugar, in which
Malta-Nita 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 it 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

Recommendations.

Recommendations.
The construction of a storm water
sewer ON Clark and Pleasant streets
from Locke street to Van Brunt slough
is desirable in that it would not only
prevent the flooding of those streets but
also Broad, Second and Van Brunt
streets.
The Vine street culvert should be ex-
tended to Fourth street with branches
to Elm and to Fountain.
When Fifth street south of Hickory
is improved storm water sewer should
be put in at the same time.
Second street should also be similarly
provided for from Warren Creek to foot
of Byron street hill.
The improvement of the Laird Norton
Lumber company's yard has so raised
the bed of Warren creek that the wa,
terway across Front street is so narrow.

vert.
