DUE TO MODERN COOKING.

DR.. Louis B. Wilson of Rochester,
who delivered lecture before a
large audience at St. Paul recently,
advanced the theory that life was
considerably shortened, in the human
being, on account of the presence in
the human body of a superiiuous
amount of stomach and intestines. If
only these could be dispensed, the lee
turer urged, human life might be in
definitely prolonged. In support OF
this theory the lecturer ascribed the
blame to the improvements in mod
ern methods of cooking food which,
he says, has done away with the ne
cessity for the grinding apparatus
in the lower regions of the stomach.
Being out of employment, as it We're,
this part of the human body carries
on crusade against the health of the
whole system, generates cancers and
other diseases and is responsible for
many of the germs which shorten hui
man life. The appendix and the gall
bladder have long been declared use
less by eminent physicians, but it is
question how many people Will
seek to prolong their lives by sub
hitting to the operation of having
about six feet of their intestines cut

BONE OF CONTENTION.

Burt w. Eaton read an interesting
paper before the Six O'clock club at
Rochester which fairly bristled with
information relative to assessments on
property in that city. Mr.. Eaton
showed up the inequality of the as
sessments, and suggested that the
charter of that city be so amended
as to permit of the appointment OF a
tax commission to consist of one who
is familiar with real estate values, a
builder and a plumber. these to fix
the value of property. Rochester is
not the only city where assessments
are a bone of contention. Mankato
has had its trials and tribulations al
so. So have other cities. Like the
poor. the problem of taxation and as
sessments is always with the people
of majority of communities.

GIFT TO JOHN A. WHITE
He Is Remembered Nicely BY Hi:
Sunday School Class.

Ea. SOuody SSuOOt SidSSs
John A. White was given very
pleasant surprise last evening at his
home, 229 Byron street, by his class
in the Sunday school of Centenary
Methodist church, young mems Bible
class numbering thirty-four students
of the different colleges and local
residents. A large delegation from the
class appeared at Mr.. Whites home at
eight o'clock, and in a short time the
true purpose of the visit was made
manifest when Lester Door presented
Mr.. White, upon behalf of the class,
with Bible beautifully bound in
morocco with gold finish. He express
ed regret that Mr.. White had found
it necessary to give up the class, be-
cause of his coming absence from the
city, and thanked him for the earn
class. Mr.. White, although taken COM
pletely by surprise, thanked the young
men for their token of esteem, which
he would always cherish.
When the delegation started to leave,
they, in their turn, as well as her
son, were given surprise, for Mr..
Whites mother had received an ink
ling of the coming visit and had
prepared a substantial luncheon, and
had the dining room prettily decorated
in white, red and green. Mrs. White
was assisted in serving by Mesdames
Haggard and Temple. The whole affair
was highly enjoyable.
Mr.. White will leave in about two
weeks, probably for the Pacific coast,
and will return six or eight weeks
later. Then, with his mother, he will
spend the summer at Madison Lake.
