GARRISON ON
HOTEL QUESTION

w. B. Clarkson, past grand coun-
selor of Owatonna, Mimi, represent
ing the United Commercial Travellers,
spoke by invitation at a recent meet
ing of the Northwestern Hotel Mems
association. He said in substance: II
came here to have a heart to heart
talk with our friends, the hotel men,
and to foster the spirit of g~et-together.
We cannot live without each other.
The United Commercial Travellers was
organized twenty five years ago as a
fraternal order, with object to en-
deayor to secure just and equitable
favors from railroad transportation
companies and hotels. for commercial
travellers as a class.
THE composite commercial travel

rnent for consistent legislation, and
the obtaining OF same by consulting
with the travelling man. Let us bury
the past and forget 1t. But what OF
the future? This movement here to-
day augurs well. 1T is simply a process
tof education. But your hotel associa-
tion will never be really effective TN
till you get the small country hotel
man To- Your meetings, and to take ar
active part in them. The composite

than 81 to $3.50 a day, and in small
places travellers often have to go to
where there is only one-hotel. / don't
Icare4to talk to hotel men who operate
plants in the big cities. They take
care of themselves because Of competi-
ton. You give because competition
forces you. .4E
1.-THE new thought in hotel business
is personal service, that which does
not cost in dollars and cents. The lack
of this is what we are complaining
most against. The solution will be
along the line of the European plan,
even in country hotels; the traveller to
buy only what he wants, and get it
at a fair price and not have to buy
a lot of food he has nc use for. We
want homelike hotels. They can be
made So"
The Clarkson instanced hotels in
Blue Earth and Princeton, Mimi, as
ideal, and in one town a a hotel
changed to a good one by new manage
ment with the right idea and the
putting OF it in practice. He in
stanced many. experiences in filthy
hotels, and of travellers having to put
UP with it because of "Hobson's
choice" that or nothing. He also
criticized the exorbitant charges Of
some hotels.
NO hotel can reach the highest
state Of efficiency without the watch
full eye OF a good woman" he said.

There's an indefinable something that

Pure, unadulterated candy is a
good article of diet. The only draw
back, says Prof. Robert Hutchinson;
in his work, Food and Dietitics, in
letting a child eat an unlimited
amount Of candy lies in absence of
fat.
IF the parent is warned to in
troduce suficient quantities of carbo-
hydrates by insisting upon the use of
butter and oils in the diet, a child
may generally eat pure candy with
out detriment and even with distinct.
advantage.
""The candy manufacturer himself
has, in a great many candles, over
come this drawback, by the addi-
ton of peanut, cocoanut and other oil
containing ingredients into the candy
direct, and / am plain to relate that
the child as a rule prefers nut candy
to the plain article.

CHANGES IN FORM
OF ELECTION BALLOT

By chapter 633 of the laws of 1911
there will be three separate ballots for
the general elections instead of one
large blanket sheet ballot in vogue In
this state for the last 25 years. Hereto
fore the names of ali candidates from
president down to coroner as we'll as
referendum questions have been SUBJ
mitted to the people on one ballot az
the general elections. Hereafter three
separate ballots of different colors will
be in use for the first time at the presi-
Dental election, November 9Th,
The first ballot is light blue known
as the presidential ballot upon which
there appears the names of the various
candidates for president aud vice
president as we'll as presidential cleo
tors in separate columns under the
appropriate party designation. For the
parties in existence at the last general
election the party circle can be
used. This will include all the
parties for which votes are
likely to be cast save only the "Bull
Moose" which will go upon the
official ballot in the independent
column without the benefit of a
party circle, thus making it neces-
sary for those voting the Bull Moose
ticket to mark cross after the indi-
vidual names of each presidential cleo
tor.
The second ballot is white and in
cludes all state, congressional, legis-
lative and county officers in their APP
propriate party columns under the
party circle.
The third ballot is pink, being the
referendum upon which are submitted
all questions relative to amendments
of the state constitution and of laws
which the legislature designate shall
be submitted to the people before be-
coming effective. The principal
question to be submitted on the
referendum ballot at the coming
election is that of woman suffrage.
The above facts are submitted for
the information of our readers, many
of whom may not be familiar with the
changed form of election ballots.

DULUTH COUNCIL ACTS
Will AnnuI Franchise If Car Strike
Is Not Ended.

Duluth, Oct 9.-The city council
voted to annul the franchise of the
street railway company within three
days if it fails to provide capable, hon.
est and sober crews for it's cars. The
action was taken as result of the
employment of strike breakers here
to combat strike which began four
weeks ago.
The men hired have been obtained
from agencies in Chicago, and it is
claimed that most of them are con-
stantly in a state of intoxication on
the cars. They have not even made
a pretense of turning in fares col
lected, and run the cars so reckless
ly that collisions have been frequent.
Drunkenness and theft of fares in
public the council declared to be q
scandal.
