THIRD PROPOSED AMEND
MENT.

The third proposed amendment IL
contained in Chapter sos of the Laws
of Minnesota for the year 1909.
PURPOSE. By this amendment it il
proposed to add an entirely new Sec
ttOn to Article TX of the Constitution,
to be known Section II, and which
shall read as follows:
"Section II. The legislature may
provide for the payment, by the state
of Minnesota. of damages to growing
crops by hail and wind, or either, and
to provide fund for that purpose in
cluding the necessary expenses OF CIV
ing effect to this act. may impose a
specific tax upon lands, the owners OF
which, at their option have listed the
same with county auditors for that
purpose, and no payment shall be MADE
, of any such damages except from the
fund so provided"
EFFECT. The effect of this Amend
ment, If adopted, will be to authorize
the State to become trustee In the
collection and disbursement of fund
for the payment of damaCes to grow
ing crops by hail or wind, or either
This fund Is to be created and main
tanned by a specific tax imposed by the
legislature upon the lands of such per-
sons, ONLY, as shall voluntarily list the
same with their respective county au-
ditOrs for that purpose. Under 1t there
could be no tax for such purpose I'M
posed on the lands of any owner who
does not consent thereto. The leSisla-
ture is also authorized to include in
such fund the necessary expenses Of
administration of the law. The adOp-
ton of the amendment will authorize
the legislature to direct that the tax
ing machinery of the state be used to
levy and collect the tax necessary to
raise such fund and to provide for the
n iS1, of hv fhSA
of the State; but any payments to be
made by the State, by reason of dam
age by hail wind will have to be
made from such fund and from no
other. In the settlement of any such
damages the State would assume no
liability beyond the amount Of such
fund, and could not further be rem

1908, but not adopted. The amendment
then offered read as follows:
''Section II. The Legislature may
provide for the payment by the State
of Minnesota of damages to growing
crops by hail and Wind, or either, and
to provide a fund for that purpose, may
impose a specific tax upon lands, the
owners of which, at their option, have
listed the same with county auditors
for that purpose, and no payment shall
be made of any such damages except
from the fund so provided
The main difference between the
amendment now offered, and the one
last quoted, being that the legislature
IL now to be authorized, in addition to
providing fund for the purpose of
paying damages to growing crops by
hail and wind, or either, to further
provide an additional tax upon sbe
lands of the persons SO listing the
same, to meet the necessary expenses
incurred in the administration of the
law and thus relieve the State there
from. This last provision was not in
cluded In the amendment offered in

Dear sir:-Referrins to proposed Con.

A. state expert printer have given the
publications involved in this proposed
amendment special thought, and am Of
opinion both these publications are on
tirely superhuous. The extensive annual
publication "in a daily newspaper pub
hshed at the capital city" attracts ab.
solutely no attention. The annual re:
IN book form, and to an extent that
makes it easy for every person gpeoial-
form strictly with the law as it IL at
present, means the expenditure, under
Of approximately $4,000, = sum which

The White Of an Egg.
The white of an egg is made up Of
little cells filed with albumen. By
bearing the. white these cells are rup-
tured and oxygen from the air is in
closed. which gives the white and
light appearance to beaten eggs. The
white Of stale egg will not inclose as
much oxygen. will not be as light and
as easily digested as that of the fresh
egg and. of course. less valuable. The
Importance Of beating the egg in cold.
pure air is readily seen.

Everett's Scenic Effects in Ora
tory.

In his "reminiscences in the
October McClure's Goodwin
Smith, in speaking of the diff
ference between English and
American oratory, tells an anus
ing story of Everett:
Il once heard Everett, whose
platform oratory was the acme
of American art. His language
was nimpeachable. But his
every word, and not only his
every word but his every gesture,
was mmistakably prepared. He
seemed to geSticulate not only
with his hands but with his legs.
He even planned scenic effects
beforehand. Having to deliver
a Fourth-of-July grafton, he in
troduced a veteran of 1912, put
him in a conspicuous place and
told the old man to rise to him
at his entrance into the hall. The
old man did as he had been bid
den. Everett apostrophised him
with Venerable old man, sit
1t is not for you to rise
to us, but for us to rise to You
The veteran said afterwards Mr.
Everett is "a strange man.
He told me to rise when he came
into the hall, and when | did rise
he told me to sit down. "

Another Wonderful Discovery.

'oAuSAAuA 0lSOOfSl
Electricity, telephones, airships
and all the wonderful inventions
of this scientific age seemed I'M
possible a few years ago. But
1t seems there is nothing so inn
possible but what some scientist
Will discover the means of ac-
compliShment, Prof. Emerson
has now discovered a preparation
which will really grow hair.
Iowa people are amazed and as
founded by Emerson new dis
coyery for the hair. Emerson
said that one bottle of his new
discovery would grow a full
head of hair to its natural color.
The people did not believe him.
1t was too much to expect and
too good to be true. They had
tried all the highly advertised
hair restOrerS and had always
been disappointed and they could
not believe one bottle would
really grow a full head of hair.
But now comes the most start
ling part of all-for Emerson
proved it-yes, absolutely proved
1t. What do you think he did?
He made the bold and remarkable
statement that he would give five
dollars to any person who used
one bottle of his new discovery
and failed to secure a new and
satisfactory growth of hair. The
people were astounded by the
unheard of offer, but they knew
that Emerson was financially re
SpOnsible and would do as he
agreed if it cost him his fortune.
Thousands bought bottles of his
new discovery, though most Of
them had little faith and expect
ed to be paid five dollars for us
ing the bottle Of new discovery.
Out of the first thousand bottles
sold only seven claimed they were
not entirely satisfied, and they
Immediately received the five
dollars without question. The
rest of them were overjoyed to
find that Emerson's new Discov-
cry had really promoted a new
and healthy growth of hair. What
is this remarkable new discovery?
Emerson won't tell, and chemists
have tried to analyze it and have
failed to find out what it is. EN-
erson asks us to publish this same
offer to the readers of this paper.
He states that with every bottle
of his new discovery, the price Of
which is 81, he will send a
written agreement to pay you
five dollars if you are not en-
tirely satisfied with the result
which is invariably a new head
of healthy, vigorous hair. The
new discovery is not sticky, oily
or greasy and is very pleasant to
use. This is the most remarkable
offer ever made by a responsible
firm, such as the Emerson
Chemical Co., which is backing
Emerson il his offer. Just send
a 81 bill (money order not neces-
sary) to the Emerson Chemical
Co., Scottsbluff, Nebraska, and
secure a bottle of the new
Discovery and the agreement to
pay you SIS or grow a full head
Of hair with only one bottle of
