be adopted for general wear as a school

protection from rain and dust, and at the

doing such effective work.
President Taft's words of encourage

or four hundred enthusiastic believers in

Coy crothers added his voice to tina,
of President Taft in urging hard and

tute for water, or, in conjunction. as one
chooses. Personally. I prefer it as sub
stitute, and inasmuch as 1t is to be bought
for six cents quart. l do not regard it as
an extravaganza. Accordingly, as it is an
adjunct. or substitute, the method of
using differs a little. When water is not
used the milk is put on freely, wetting
a soft old cloth and sopping the face,
neck and chest thoroughly. No soap is
required.
This is at once washed off in warm
water, to which about a teaspoonful of
borax is added to a basinful of water.
Fresh buttermilk is then patted on with
the fingers, letting it dry.
When employed an adjunct the first
cleansing must be done with soap and
water, the skin being dried and butter
milk patted on later and allowed to re-
main.
l am frank to state that the odor of
buttermilk is not pleasant, and in that
lies the undesirable feature of it's use.
Nevertheless. as bleaching and refining
agent / consider 1t most valuable.
In cases Of sunburn or freckles the milk
should be put on at the earliest opportun-
ity, letting it dry into the skin. Water
must not be applied at any time while
there is a singing or smarting sensation

ANOTHER MUNICIPAL SHORT
AGE AT BALTIMORE.
George P. McRae Admits That He
Appropriated $435 Of the
City Funds.

BALTIMORE, May 19.-Another munic
ipal shortage was discovered yesterday,
when George P. McRae, son-in-law of
and auditor in the Office of city Controller
had stolen $435 from money that had
passed through his hands at the window
in the controllers Office and that he had
covered up his shortage by concealing the
records which showed the money to have
been received. He issued receipts for the
money, but as he had abstracted some of
his records, the books and vouchers bal
anced.
Mr.. Mahon was under the care OF
physician last night at his home at Pixies
vile as the result of shock from the dis
closures. He made the following state
ment:
"Mr. McRae is guilty by his own con-
fession. I have nothing to say except
that the law must take its course and he
must accept the punishment he deserves.
Neither nor any friend Of mine will lift
a hand to shield him nor obtain bail for
him. nor in any way hinder prompt justice
being meted out to him. There is abso-
lutely no excuse for his crime. There is
no defense possible. l attribute his going
wrong entirely to his love of drink The
chief sufferers will be his family, not him

Third Shortage in City Hall.
McRaes is the third defalcation in the

Cochran. former clerk and stenographer
in the Office of Building Inspector Preston.
He was sentenced to Jail for three years
for obtaining money under false repre-
sentations by cashing an irregular check
for S565 in August, 1908.
Next came the case of William F.

The case was heard by the court
Judge Jeter C. Pritchard presiding 1t
had come up from the United States
circuit court for the western district
of Virginia. at Lynchburg, which hand
ed down a decision favorable to the in
surance company. On an appeal to the
higher court. the lower court was re-
versed. Then came the petition for a
new hearing. which was refused. The
claims of the company were based on
the fact that the life insured was for
feited by violation Of the laws of the
state.

the method of auditing accounts in the

expenditures of the departments were SUBJ

that in future they should be submitted in

WHY NOT GET THE soo7

Fargo has the opportunity of a life
time to add to it's railroad facilities.
The 500 road is increasing Its mileage
in the northwest--and while to some
extent it has been devoting its energies
to development work--its lines through
the northwest have now reached a
stage where some connecting links
could be profitably constructed.
The 500 management has been in
terviewed many times in recent years
by Fargoans. The statement most fre-
quentfy made has been that the COM
pany wants to come to Fargo-and in
tends to-but certain other construc-
tion work must first be complet-
ed. The company has line
through the southern tier of counties
running east and west. 1t has its
original line running from the south
eastern corner to the northwestern
section.
The attention of the management has
been called to the advantages to be
gained by connecting this latter line
with FaFgo-either from Darlington or
from Endsrrin-Ehen east to connect
with the Etne that now runs through
Detroit.
Such connection would work to a
great advantage both 10 the 500 and
to Fargo. 1t would give this city more
direct service to DulutEF-practicaily
an air Itne-and 1t would give another
direct connection with the twin cities.
1t would ALSO make the main line OF
the 500 directly Tributary TO Fargo and
prove bonanza for the business in
terests and great convenience for the
people along its line who wish to trans
act business with the metropolis OF the
state.
The 500 management, IL Is under
stood, has reached that stage of ad-
vancenent where 1t is now IN proper
frame Of mind to give the Fargo 1propo-
sition some consideration. The business
men Of FargO---their ofRc:al urganiza-

SECRETARY OF AGRICULTURE.

The farmers want TAFT to retain
Wilson as the head OF the department;
OF agriculture. II Wilson were younger
there would be no question about it.
His advanced years. it Is said, are
somewhat against his remaining in the
position. Mr.. Wilson has been an
important factor in boosting farm pro-
ducts and adding to the wealth Of the
nation. He has shown more inithtiVe
than his predecessors.
The chief opponents of the secretary
are the manufacturers who object to
some Of his pure food rulings. The
honest men in this business have moth
ing to fear. The pure food reformers
are rather inclined to regard the secre-
tary as too conservative Vathsr than
as a radical.

N. o. SPRING WHEAT.

The North Dakota Farmer, edMed py
Pure Food Commissioner Ladd. takes
the position that the abandonment of
the bleached -four processes over the
country furnishes the supreme oppor-
tunity for the farmers of the hard
wheat section Of the northwest. IA re-
cent editorial article IN the puptica-
tion is as followss g., 49,
North Dakota is one of the great
spring wheat producinug sections Of
the country. The spring wheat grown
I'm this state IL of suSerior quality;
richer in gluten and bread making
qualities than that of any other section.
Flour produced from this wheat is one
of the strongest in gluten. producing
one of the largest and whitest Ioaves
of bread obtained from any -four in
the country. 1t yields. -four not only
rich in gluten and high In bread pro-
ducing qualities, but 1t In noted for its
exceptional Wilderness, that is, in the
patent flour.
With the passing OF blea ching, then,
North Dakota has an opportunity to
make her influence felt not only as a
great wheat raising state, but as the
great -four producing region of the
country. Every year our wheat should
command a premium.
It is said that very little Of North
Dakota wheat finds its way into the
eastern markets without being mixed
with other wheats; that in the east the
pure, unmixed North Dakota wheat Is
scarcely known. More of the wheat
should be ground in the state and la
beled to show that it is a North Dako-
ia product It should be shipped and
sold ON it's merits, and the mill pro-
ducts used in the state in the feeding
of animals, especial in the develop
ment of the dairy industry, should now
become one of the important agricul-
tural interest of the state.
With the passing Of bleaching of
-four, IL North Dakota millers would
but unite and put forth their best ef-
forts. they should be able to build up
magnificent business for the state.
The experiment station and demonstra-
tion farms should aid In developing the
best strains of wheat and disseminate
the same among the farmers after the
wheat has been thoroughly tested al
