How to Treat Pimples.

1t is really remarkable how Cadum,
the new remedy, causes pimples to dis
appear. Bad cases are frequently re-
lieved in few days. Cadum causes
pimples to dry up and fall off, leaving
the skin soft and smooth. Pifnples are
a disease of the skin, and are not caused
by bad blood, as many people suppose.
Cadum helps these disfiguring blemishes
because it is applied direct to the trou-
Bile. II is an antiseptic and prevents
infection from disease germs. Cadum
should be Immediately applied to a
pimple, scratch, sore or wound, as neg

MAKE FORT A HOSPITAL
Plan Which Is Suggested Relative to
Smelling, If Military Post Should
Be Abandoned.

Suggestion that Fort Smelling, if
abandoned by the war department
as military post, be turned over to
the state of Minnesota for use as
hospital for insane, is made in the
biennial report of the state board of
control. The board today addressed
a letter to Congressman F. C. Stew
ems of st. Paul, inclosing the extract
from it's coming report, and urging
the matter to his attention. The
board declares that the Fort Smell
ing buildings are almost ideal for
the purpose, and says that Eat a
small first cost they could be made
the finest institution of the kind in
the United States" The board says
that the plant would be used for
patients committed from the twin
cities, who now number more than
half the population of the ST. Peter
and Rochester hospitals. In case Mr.
Stevens fails in his efforts to have
Fort Smelling retained as a military
post, the board asks him to give the
suggestion some attention and wants
the legislature to pass a joint reso
luton declaring the willingness OF
the state to take over the plant.

LABOR AT COAL CHUTES
BuIgarian-Turkish War Handicapped
Proceedings When it Comes to
Handling Diamonds.

The Bulgarian-Turkish war has
been the cause of all kinds of trou
BILE to Northwestern railway officials
in Waseca. A number of Bulgarians
who have been employed at the coal
chutes and as section laborers left
two weeks ago for their native land
to fight the, Turks. There has been
crying demand for both skilled
and unskilled laborers in Waseca
since last Spring. The supply has
never equalled the demand. Conse
quently when the patriotic Bulgar.
ians took their departure it was i'm.
possible to ssecure men to fill their
places.
The most serious trouble was eX.
perienced at the coal chutes, where
coal is un1oaded from cars into
chutes, to fill the engines before they
start on a run. 1t became necessary
to draft firemen and shop men and
to pay them fancy prices in order to
get enough coal shoveled from the
cars to keep the engines running. 1t
was reported that as high as SIS was
paid men for nights work A
crew of Italians was secured but the
work seemed too heavy for them and
they quit in body, and the coal
supply is still up in the air, so to
speak. The latest report was that
able-bodied men who could handle
a coal shovel and were not particu
lar about having a little coal dust
on their features would receive the
glad hand and good wages, for a
time at least.

Princeton, n. j. Nov. 13.-President
Elect Woodrow Wilson proposes to
keep the door of his private office in
the White House always open and &C.

Governor Wilson said he had de-
cided to maintain, as far as possible,
the open door" policy which he inau-
gurated at Trenton. During his term
as governor he has insisted that the
door to his private office never be
closed while he is in it. In his cam
paign speeches for the presidency he
declared that he had always felt if the
door to his office was closed his "cOR,
nection with the people of New Jer-
sey" was being severed. The gov
ernor was standing in the same door
way in the statehouse in Trenton.
Are you going to keep the open
door at Washington, too?" he was
asked

His idea is that the executive of a
state or a nation should have no
locked door" conferences or transact
any business in his private office that
the public could not actually see if
they cared to.

ernOr," he said, Il was surprised at

The governor never has been in the

him a diagram of it's interior indicat-

appointments, but the custom as OBJ

SMOKED UP; TROUBLE
Pastor of a St. Paul Church Pulled al
Pipe; Congregation Split in Twain;
He Resigns.

st. Paul, November 1S.-Friction
between two factions in the First
Christian church, Nelson and Faring-
ton avenues, st. Paul, was brought
to elimination when Rev. C. w.
Barnes resigned as pastor on Mon
day, November 4, and his resigna-
ton was accepted by the congrega-
ton last Sunday. Am ong the objec-
tionS to Mr.. Barnes made by one fac
ton of the congregation is that he
had habit of smoking in the study
and that the Sunday school scholars
sometimes saw him indulge in to-
bacco. Last spring.; according to
one member of the board of officers
of the church, J. S. Leavitt, who was
then Sunday school superintendent,
told Mr.. Barnes that it was useless
to try and teach the children much
while they knew that he was smok-
ing in room near them. Another
member of the board of officers said
this morning the chief objection to
Pastor Barnes was that he has been
preaching socialism.

Municipal Judge Backus, in appoint

that the assailant would not, by the
alienists' finding, be in a position to
escape sentence under his plea OF
guilty, or sentence under jury de-
termination, if at future date sanity
having been restored, Schrank should
demand a jury trial and be found
guilty.
If Schrank be found mentally un.

insane criminal until recovered, if he
does recover, when the punishment
based on his plea will be named by a
court of concurrent jurisdiction, just
