TO HAVE FREE Kinks AGAIN
Winona Civic League Women Outline
Work for Winter.

Winona.-The Winona Civic League,
consisting of members of the leading
women's clubs of the city, has voted
to establish again free skating Kinks
about the city for the children. Last
winter the league established and
maintained five of these Kinks in diff
ferent localities. The council and the
street department co-operated with
the league, flooding the Kinks after
warm spells and keeping them clear
of snow. Within the grounds of each
were warming houses. The plan will
be worked out much along the same
line this year.
Last May the league provided the
children of the public and parochial
schools with flower seeds, and prizes
will be awarded on Friday for the best
flowers obtained from these seeds.
A year ago the league called for a
meat inspection law in Winona and
an ordinance was drafted An effort
will be made to have this ordinance
passed. The improvement of the wa
ter supply will also be topic for the
coming winter.

HANDS BURNED LIKE FIRE

II can truthfully say Cuticura Rem.
edies have cured me of four long
years of eczema. About four years
ago I noticed some little pimples
coming on my little finger. and not
giving it any attention, it soon became
worse and spread all over my hands.
If would have them in water for a
long time, they would burn like fire
and large cracks would come. I could
lay pin in them. After using all
the salves / could think of, went to
three different doctors, but all did
me no good. The only relief got was
scratching.
$50 after hearing so much about the
wonderful Cuticura Remedies, pur-
chased one complete set, and after
using them three days my hands were
much better. Today my hands are
entirely we'll, one set being all used"
(Signed) Miss Eta Narber, R. F. D. 2,
Spring Lake, Mich, Sept. &c, 1910.
Although Cuticura Soap and ONT
ment are sold everywhere, a sample
of each, with 32-page book, will be
mailed free on application to "Cuti:
cura," Dept. 2 L, Boston.

DEFENDS INSANE LAW.
Says It's Purpose Is to Restrain Per-
sons With Homicidal Tendencies.

Attorney General George T. Simpson
has written to Judge c. A. Nye Of
fering to cite cases and submit argu-
ment in support of the constitutional
ity of the law passed in 1907 relating to
the commitment of insane criminals.
Mr.. Simpson drew the law while he
was assistant attorney general under
e. T. Young, and through the assist
ance of Senator Albert Schaller had it
pushed through the Legislature. His
object, he says, was two fold, to pre-
vent insane persons with homicidal
tendencies from getting out and to
stop accused persons from making fake
pleas of insanity.
The law was written at the time
when the Thaw trial was in progress
in New York and was copied after the
New York law. Mr.. Simpson also had
tried one case shortly before that time
when a man accused of murder was
acquitted on the ground of insanity.
He also had in mind another case
where man from Roseau county who
had been sent to the hospital after
having killed one man was re-
leased as cured and shortly afterward
shot another man and killed him.
According to Mr.. Simpson the law
will apply only where man is known
to have homicidal tendencies. Where
he has been accused of only minor
crime and found insane and sent to
the hospital, he can be released when
ever he is cured. The intent OF the
law, Mr. Simpson says, was to keep
people incarcerated who might be dan
gerous to the community.
G.. j. Swendsen, member of the
State Board of Control, said yesterday
if man was pronounced by experts
as sane he did not think man could
be kept in the hospital for the insane.

WHAT THEY THOUGHT or HIM
Remark by No Means Complimentary
Made by Constituent of Repre-
sentative Underwood.

Representative Underwood. chair
man of the ways and means commit
tee in congress, represents what Ii
known as a manufacturing district"
because it contains all the factories
and smelters il and about Birming-
ham, Ala. But he also has among his
constituents lot of farmers-of which
fact he is now painfully aware.
He drove out to a settlement in
Bibb county one afternoon to persuade
the farmers they ought to vote for
him. AS he stepped up to the porch
of little store an old nan rushed up
to him with the request:
Please sign this paper. It's a petit
ton to Congressman Underwood to
have young lady postmistress here
I'D be glad to sign it" said Under
wood politely; ''but as I'm not resi-
dent of this community. my name
wouldn't help you"
"Oh, yes, it would" the old farmer
assured him. Were getting every
body to sign it, strangers and all.
Go ahead and put your name down!
That fool congressman will never
know the difference!"-The Sunday
Magazine.

LAKE FLOUR RATE SUSTAINED.
Minneapolis Millers Upheld by the
Commerce Commission.

Minneapolis. With the east.
ern trunk lines protesting and the
most powerful transportation inter-
ests of the Great Lakes in opposition,
the interstate commerce commission
has confirmed the flour rate of 21R
cents, Minneapolis to New York, and
Minneapolis has gained rate victory
after the hardest fight in recent years
for maintenance of the city's traffic
position. Instead of % cents lake and
rail and % cents all rail, the Mime
apolis industry will be able, after Oct.
6. to ship lake and rail at 211s cents,
thus giving the differential OF BE
cents long contended for.
No such contest has been waged in
traffic circles for years. With boats
available, of 10000 tons total capacity,
Minneapolis stood ready to put an in
dependent transportation line in oper-
alton from Duluth to Buffalo. The
ultimatum of Minneapolis, sent late
last week to the interstate commerce
commission, which appeared to be
hesitating in the matter, demanded as
surance that the rate would not be
suspended prior to Oct. 6 upon solicit
alton of the eastern lines, or else that
the new Flour City Steamship line on
the lakes, be recognized. Today's re-
ply gives Minneapolis the 211a cent
rate.
C. C. Mccain of New York, chair
man of the Trunk Line association,
the Duluth Commercial club through
g. Roy Hall, chairman of it's traffic
commission, the Central Freight as
ISOLATION, and the New York Central
and Pennsylvania lines, individually,
fought the rate, and c. G. Mccain sent
several hundred kilograms to interior
mills of the west, asking that they
protest against the granting of the
rate to Minneapolis.
