ST. PAUL NEWS LETTER.

In connection with the work of
the federated commercial clubs of
Minnesota the rally at Wheaton was
successful from every point Of view.
Through the effects of the Wheaton
commercial club elaborate prepara-
tions were made. The little city
was in gala dress, and, in the evening
was Illuminated with electric lights.
The business meeting took place in
the Opera House which was crowded
to its utmost capacity, and in the
assembly were business men and
farmers from Herman, Graceville,
Dumont, Browns Valley, White
Rock and many other places in the
extreme west Of the state. The
speakers included George WEIGH,
state immigration commissioner,
who advocated publishing to the
world the fact that 40 per cent of
the agricultural land of Minnesota
is under cultivation, and that the
state offers exceptional advantages
to farmers and stock growers.
Gustav Scholle of St. Paul who urg-
ed the organization of the CONNER
cial clubs of the state in the interest
of the campaign for good roads;
w. R. Ingram, traffic manager of
the St. Paul Union stockyards, who
made a strong plea for the stocking
of farms with pure bred stock; and
Curtis L. Mosher Of the st. Paul
Publicity bureau who spoke of the
need and necessity Of local and state
advertising which he declared was
not necessarily expensive. The
other speakers were F. Y. Locke,
president of the ST. Paul commercial
club who spoke on "Why Wheaton
should have commercial club" and
D. M. Neill of Redwing, president
of the federation who spoke on
questions Of organization and NUM-
cipal development. The meeting
was the first of a series which will
be held in all parts of the state.
In the creamery districts of Min
nesota the farmers in order to Sc
cure quick returns and small pro-
fits have hit upon the plan Of selling
every drop of milk and Sknocking
their bull calves on the head. Is it
possible to imagine a more unproft-
able way of conducting the farming
business? 1t is a condition Of things
which cannot fail to have baneful
effect on the live stock industry.
The practice is not only reprehen-
sible from an economic standpoint,

great many people imagine they have
heart trouble when the fact is that the whole
trouble lies in the stomach The pains in the
side around the region of the heart are not
necessarily heart trouble. We suggest that
you start with the stomach and whenever
you feel a depression after eating or when
ever your food seems to nauseate take Kodol
It will not be very long until all these heart
pains will disappear. Take Kodol now and
until you know you are right again. There
isn't any doubt about what it will do and you
will find the truth of this statement verified
after you have used Kodol for few weeks.

but it is likely to have bad infu-
ence on the rising generation, who
are apt to receive the notion that
bull calves are of no more economic
value on the farm than bull dogs.
At South ST. Paul every bull calf,
like every hog, has its commercial
value. The sooner the farmers re-
alize that it is better for them to
sell calves than to kill them the
better for the live stock industry
of the state.
A. L. Larpenteur of st. Paul has
just celebrated his eighty-eighth
birthday and is the oldest resident
of the city. He came to St. Paul
from St. Louis in 1843 and saw the
city laid out. He went into the fur
business and has had extensive deal
ings with, the Indians. The old
gentleman is full of years but enjoys
the best of health and the Anchor
age in Dale street where he lives
has been the center of pioneer life
for many decades. In addition to
innumerable personal greetings.
Mr.. Larpenteur has received letters
and presents from friends all over
the world.

The first of a series of free travel
ing tuberculosis exhibition ever held
under the auspices of the state of
Minnesota closed in this city last
night after five days filled with pro-
fitable work, says the Saltwater
Gazette, during which more than
two thousand people tooksadyantage
Of the occasion to become educated
in the work of successfully fighting
consumption. It is something to
have been a pioneer in this great
philanthropic work, and more to
have been able to make a splendid
success of the States inaugural eff
fort in a movement that is world
wide in its scope and filled with the
brightest hopes of ultimate success.
The work just brought to a close in
this city will well rewarded. lit is
along the right lines, the lines of edu-
cation. By use of simple precautions

a minimum. The war against con-
sumption is on and it is not tooimuch
to hope that within the next decade
the deaths due to the king of diseas-
es will have been reduced to small
proportions and that it will eventu-
ally pass out of the list Of human
ills, except in isolated instances.
The exhibition at Mankatoshas prov
ed an even greater success than that
at Saltwater at least in point of at
tendance. The first four days the
attendance has averaged 800 a day.
All classes of the population have
shown great interest. Indeed. the
whole town has been talking tuber-
culosis. Each of these exhibitions is
held in county seat and the popula-
ton of the entire county is reached
through circulars sent to leading
physicians, taxpayers, school teach
ers and others.

Accidentally Takes Poison with Fatal
Results.

St. Peter Tribune; Chas. R. Pom
Gin, one of the old settlers of this
county, died at his home in Traverse
on Saturday morning, last, from the
effects of dose of poison taken by
mistake,
Mr.. Poncin had requested his son
Charles who was going to town that
day to bring home bottle of bran
dy. In addition to the brandy,
Charles had also purchased bottle
of formaldehyde for the purpose of
disinfecting. Shortly after arriving
home, his father, seeing the two
bottles and supposing that both
were brandy, tore off the top of one
of them, without even removing the
wrapper and took a drink, swallow
ing about an ounce. He had gotten
hold of the wrong bottle, and swal-
lowed the formaldehyde instead of
the brandy.
A physician was telephoned for
but when he arrived Mr.. Poncin was
beyond medical aid, although he
lived for several hours. He had
taken the poison about Z o'clock in
the evening and lived until 2:15 the
next morning.

RUST THAT FARMERS FEAR.
The Kind That Ruins Wheat the
World Round.

Rust LtiII corrupteth the American
cereal crops, and that to annual dam
age exceeding S50O,OO0,OOO. The
Department of Agriculture has put
on record the amazing statement that
the injury TO wheat and oats from
rust probably exceeds that caused by
any other fungus or insect pest, and
IN some localities is greater than that
caused by all other enemies of the
crop combined.
The farmer in some season or 9TH
er IN looking over his fields during
the early summer cannot help noting
that the fresh green appearance Of
the wheat crop is changing In color
from Gay 10 day becoming gradu-
ally quite yellow. On examining
closely one OF the withered leaves
the Cbservant cultivator can detect
orange yellow spots or lines, and
with the aid of a low power lens also
can see that the epidermal tissue OF
the leaf has been ruptured by the
emission of countless numbers OF
orange yellow seeds or spores.
The spots and lines upon the
leaves multiply rapidly, and when
the leaves are shaken by the wind
the spores are set free and fall upon
the other leaves, and thus the dis
ease is spread. Wherever wheat is
grown this destructive pest is known
and dreaded.
In appearance the disease is the
same wherever the crop attacked is
gOwn-EurOpe, America, Australia
pale yellow during springtime and
summer, deepening later in the sea-
son to a dark brown or black on the
green leaves not only of the cereal
crops but of many surrounding wild
grasses. In the early days Of rust
the fungal spores or seeds are called
'uredo spores" from "uTO," to burn,
owing TO the rusty or burnt appear
ance of the leaves.

ESTIMATING OUR COAL SUPPLY.
AT Present Rate Pennsylvania Fields
VIII Last 400 Years.

NJ. r. Campbell of the United States
Geological Survey estimates the
amount of coal originally in the an
thracite fields of Pennsylvania at 21.-
OO0,00O.000 short tons; and that In
the bituminous fields at 112,574,-
100000 short tons. 1t is said that
by the methods of mining anthracite
coal IN former years, for every ton
OF coal mined and marketed l 1-2
tons were either wasted or left IN
the ground as pillars for the prOtec-
tion of the workings, SO that the act
ual yields Of the beds was only about
40 per cent of the contents. This
percentage of waste has now been
materially reduced, but the exhaus-
tion to the close OF 1907 has probably
amounted to about double the pro-
duction, or 0O,00O,000 short tons.
This would leave still in the ground
approximately 100000 short
tons, which would be capable OF
yielding at the rate Of one ton of coal
for each ton mined, $500, 100000
tons, or approximately 100 times
the amount of anthracite produced in
1907.
If we estimated for the bItuminous
production one ton of coal lost for
every two tons mined, the exhaus-
tion to the close of 1907 has been
2,760. 100000 tons, which would
leave still In the ground in Pennsyl-
vania a little less than 10, 0,000,-
600 short tons of bituminous coal.
The annual consumption and produc-
tion of coal will no doubt continue
to increase, but at the rate of produc-
tion reached in 1907 the available
supply in Pennsylvania would last
about 49O years.-New York Even

USES LIMESTONE FOR FUEL.
st. Louis Man Mixes 1t With Coal
and Obtains Intense Heat.

Alexander Marshall OF ST Louis
told recently how he has solved an
important problem that may greatly
reduce the worlds consumption OF
coal.
- claims to have discovered a
ms05d whereby the cost Of coal by
the use of limestone, in furnaces of
any kind may be reduced TO one
half The limestone exists in SUI
ficient quantities in the Piasa Blufrs
along the Mississippi River to supply
Alton with fuel for centuries to come.
Marshall's scheme proves generally
successful.
You see, throw IN plenty of coal
to get a red-hot fire in the furnace.
The former dark, black smoke from
the stacks began to be transformed
into a light, airy gas-carbonic acid
gas released from the carbonate Of
lime. The heat was intense and in
a few minutes seemed as II the
seams of the boilers would melt.
Coal alone never gave such a
heat" remarked Mr.. Marshall. In
a few weeks l will have a testing ap-
paratus here for the purpose of find
ing out exactly the amount Of coal
and then the number of units in coal
and limestone
After the test the residue left was
exhibited IN the crate. There were
no clinkers; the coal had evidently
all been consumed.
The residue makes a good fertil-
izer," Mr.. Marshall said. "Of course
the asnes are not so good as the lime
stone before burning, for that con-
tains forty per cent more of carbon.
The advantage lies In ths fact that
use has already been made Of the
coal Left in the ground for long
er time, the burned limestone will
bring about exactly the same effect
as the pure limestone; that is, in
correcting the acidity of the soil"

A name very difficult TO find cor
rectly spelled is that of the Lake On

it not "Sackett's Harbor," or Sack

quently wrong is 'Newburgh," the
city OF which name is in the town Of
"Newburg." This brings up the
problem OF "Pittsburg," which its
citizens like so well to spell Pitts

from all the book worms of many

Dancing Put 20 Practical Use In

Dancing was considered historicai-
Iy, philosophieaIly and morally In a
lecture before the International Acad-
ecy of Choregraphic Authors and
Masters by NJ. Giraudet, a high au-
thority on the subject. He recon-
mended the study OF the department
for getting on in the world, and spoke
at length OF the influences of dane
ing on public affairs in the reign of
Napoleon J." Capt. Cook, whose
name, said the lecturer, figures prom
inently in the golden book of chore-
graphy, insisted on his sailors dane
ing an hour or two daily, thus pre-
serving them in health and spirits. ."
NJ. Giraudet also related, with ap-
proval, that under the first French
republic the government of the con-
Yention had provided for dancing les
sons to be given IN all barracks ito
cure hOmesickness among the
troops" The lecturer approved
highly of the new rule of etiquette,
which, it appears, the last congress
of dancing laid down, and which en-
ables any man at a bail to dance
with any girl without being intro
duced. The reform, said NJ. Girau-
det, has now been carried out, and
has been received with Joy by all
concerned.
