EVENING CHAT
BY RUTH CAMERON.

well / would like to know what
became of that quarter 1 just gave
away" I heard a man say the other
day 1.-THE poor devil 1 gave it to
swore that he hadn't had anything to
eat for two days. OF course, he may
have more money than 1 have, but
what can you do when a man says he's
starving? I'd rather help ten men
who didn't deserve it, than refuse one
who was really hungry.
1 think the quandary in which this
man found himself is a very common
one. I don't believe there is anyone
been asked for money to buy food
with, and has wondered, as he gave it,
if it would really be used for that pur-
pose.
Wherefore Iwant to tell you of the
man-wh o-thinks' solution of this guam
dairy.
From the Salvation Army in the city
in which he lives. he procured a num-
Der of tickets, some good for meal
and some for a nights lodging at the
Army's headquarters. When anyone
asks him for money for food or lodg-
ing, he gives him one of these tickets.
If the suppliant is really hungry, he
presents the ticket and receives the
meal or the lodging. At the end of
each month, the an-who-thinks set
ties with the Salvation Army for all
the tickets marked with his especial
number which have been presented.
In this way he is sure of never turn
ing away anyone who really wants
food, and at the same time of not Civ
ing money to professional beggars.
Doesn't the man-who-thinks' way
appeal to you as a rather clever solu-
ton of the difficulty?

ject of man taking a woman's arm

be all right Though even then it seems
to me she should take his army but in
pleasant weather, when the streets are
not crowded, nothing arouses my re-
sentiment like having a man take hold
of my arm and walk me ahead" fast
er. perhaps, than I care to go. AS a
general thing, after a man has done it
once, refuse further invitations to go
out with him, yet, L think it is done
unconsciously, without meaning to give
offense, and I know no way to stop it.

PHYSICIAN SAID ECZEMA
CAME FROM TEETHING

when my little girl was about eight
months old, she was taken with very
irritating breaking out, which came on
her face, neck and back. When she
first came down with it. it came Id
little watery-like testers under her
eyes, and on her chin, then after few
days it would dry down in scaly, white
scabs. In the daytime she was quite
worrysome and would dig and scratch
her face nearly all the time.
II consulted our physician and
found she was suffering from eczema,
which he said came from her teething.
I used the ointment he gave me and
without any relief at all. Then I
wrote for book on Cuticura, and pur-
chased some Cuticura Soap and Oint-
ment at the drug store. I did as I
found directions in the Cuticura Book.
let, and when she was one year old,
she was entirely cured. Now she is
three years and four months, and she
has never been troubled with eczema
since she was cured by the Cuti-
cura Soap and Cuticura Ointment.

N. D. RATE HEARING IN ST. PAUL

Of Ignite Coal Tariffs.

Bismarck.-Oct. 2 is the date set for
the first hearing of the North Dakota
coal-rate cases, revived. The hearing
will take place in st. Paul before Mas
ter in Chancery H. d. Hoskins, clerk
of the North Dakota supreme court.
These cases involve Ignite coal rates
in North Dakota, and they have been
before the supreme court of the United
States with the result that the rail-
roads were defeated. The United
States court held that, should the rate
be found confiscatory, then the roads
have a right to ask for reopening.
and such step now brings the matter
up again, the 500 being the first to
make such application.

Lower Electric Rates Asked

Lower Electric Rates Asked.
Manifestations requesting the city
commissioners to take steps to bring
about a lower rate for electric power
to consumers in Minot have been pre-
scented to that body on which action
will be taken soon. It is contended
that the city rates should be in con-
formity with report recently made
to the commission by a special commit
tee appointed to investigate into the
actual cost Of the production. The
movement for lower rates is founded
on the new state law giving city gov
erning bodies the power Of fixing rates
for certain public utility company com,
modities.

 His Great Flight.

Los Angeles, Cal.-Twenty thousand persons saw Galbraith P. Rodgers. the aviator, finish his transcontinental flight at Pasadena with series of spiral glides that brought him lightly to earth in the cleared centre of Tour nament Park.
 With his descent at Pasadena, suo- urb of Los Angeles, Cal. Calbraith r. Rodgers has ended the first coast-to- coast aeroplane flight and established the greatest cross-country record Tn the history of aviation. Rodgers started started from Sheepshead Bay race track, New York, for the Pacino Coast on September r, and has cover ed 3,229 miles, which more than dou. bles the previous worlds record ot 1.265 miles, made by Harry N. AL wood in his St Louis to New fork flight. His journey to the coast was full of accidents in which his life was endangered several times, and weath- CT conditions and delays prevented him from winning the William h. Hearst prize of s50.00O, for which he originally started as a competitor.
