STATE NEWS IN BRIEF
MUCH TO BE THANKFUL FOR
Governor Eberhart Issues ProeIama-
ton Setting Aside Novem-
Der 81.

st. Paul.-Thankfulnes for abun-
dant prosperity, industrial conditions,
happiness and contentment ere con-
tanned in Governor Eberhart's Thanks
giving day proclamation. 1t is point
ed out in the proclamation that the
people OF Minnesota have every rea-
son to be thankful this year, and,
with the increase of the industrial
prosperity, citizens ought to give
thanks on the day set aside for that
purpose.
In full, the proclamation follows:
Abundant reasons for thankfulness
on the part of the people of Mime
sofa exist in these closing months of
the year 1913. AS we acquire a per-
spective of the year that is closing,
it is evident that the people of our
state have every reason to be crate
full and to acknowledge the perma-
nent blessings that have come from
the Supreme Giver of all things.
Never before in the history of our
state have conditions been so graft
flying. Industrial peace prevails, pros
perity reigns, and happiness and con-
tentment vie with each other in the
Joy of life. Our moral life has be-
come purer, our industrial prosperity
greater, and through it all there has
been a distinct awakening of a higher
purpose and sterner determination
to realize to it's complete fullness the
opportunity that exists for our peo-
pie.
"A sentiment beautiful and exalted
has Joined with a natural attitude of
reverence and gratefulness in setting
aside one day in the year for an ex-
preston of the universal sentiment
that exists in the hearts of all of us.
1t is fitting that we of Minnesota
should especially recognize the fact
that we have been kindly dealt with,
that we should review the blessings
of material prosperity, that we should
more fully recognize the successful
efforts that are being made to solve
the moral and social problems that
confront us, and that we should lift
up our hearts in glad and prayerful
Thanksgiving.
Therefore, in recognition of the
conditions that exist, and in con-
formity with the proclamation of the
president of the United States, join
with him in designating
THURSDAY, the 9TH DAY OF
NOVEMBER, 1913,
AS A DAY OF THANKSGIVING
AND PRAYER
throughout the state.
Il earnestly commend the observ-
ance of the day in such a manner
that it will revive the spiritual enthu-
siasm of our people in way that will
mark us as a worthy inheritor of the
institutions that were founded and
handed down to us by our fathers"
A. 0. EBERHART,
Governor.

AUTO BANDITS ROB A BANK
Waltham Institution Loses $4,000 and
Many Valuable
Papers.

Waltham.-Bandits riding in an auto
descended upon Waltham some time
Thursday night and blew the safe of
the State bank.
Some $4,000, practically all the bank S
cash on hand, was taken, and the rob.
bers soon made off in the machine
which brought them into the town.
The bankers had no night Waterman
on guard, and the robbery was not dis
covered until early Friday.
The sheriff at Austin, county seat
of this (Mower) county, was notified
and came here at once to begin an
investigation and start pusuit.
Waltham, scene of the robbery, is
twelve miles north of Austin and is
the center of a prosperous farming
district.
All the valuable papers in the bank
were carried away. The job was a
scientific one and there is no clue for
the officers to work upon.

FIRM USED SIMILAR LABEL
Seattle Firm is Enjoined From Initial.
ing Trade Idea of Rival
Medicine Firm.

Seattle, Nov. 13.-Judge Jeremiah
Meter of the United States district
court, has granted permanent in
junction in behalf of the Centaur
company of New York, the manufac-
turers of Fletcher's Castoria, against
the Stewart G. Holmes Drug company
of this city.
The defendant company is one of
the oldest and largest concerns of it's
kind in the Northwest.
The controversy arose from the SIM
ulating of the labels of this well
known preparation and from the evil
dence filed in the case, it was shown
that the infringing label was first dis.
covered on sale in Honolulu and was
traced to its origin in Seattle.

ST. PAUL'S MYSTERIOUS CAVE
Explorations Reopened and Mouth of
Fabled Rendezvous Is
Located.

st. Paul.-Carver's cave, which has
been an archaeological mystery here
for thirty years and the object of con-
siderable investigation and excava-
lions for months, has been rediscover-
ed John H. Colwell is the explorer
Mr.. Colwell, who is president of the
Mounds Park Improvement associa-
ton, has had workmen digging at the
mouth of the cave and the opening has
been finally reached. Initials were
carved on the walls, but were almost
indiscernible and the cave is flooded
with water. The cave is located in
the bluff under the Indian mounds and
Mr. Colwell will ask the city to make
park improvements around it.
Thirty years ago Jonathan Carver
described the cave and said it con-
tanned many Indian hieroglyphics. The
mouth has since been closed by wash
outs. Many stories have been told
about treasures concealed in the cav
ern.

WORKS ALL DAY

Food

Some Of the worlds great men have

tuition generally to do this.
A Ga. man was able to keep it up

though he had failed in health before
he changed his food supply. He says:
Three years ago had severe at
tack of stomach trouble which left me
unable to eat anything but bread and
water
"The nervous strain at my Office
from 6 A. NJ. to 6 P NJ. and improper
foods caused my health to fail rapidly.
Cereal and so-called Foods" were
tried without benefit until saw Grape
Nuts mentioned in the paper.
"In hopeless desperation l tried this
food and at once gained strength, desh

all day at the Office and study at night,
without the nervous exhaustion that
was usual before l tried Grape-Nuts.

shore of Lake Erie became known
only when survivors began arriving
in ports with tales of hardships and
heroic rescues seldom equalled on the

On land, the storm hit hardest at
Cleveland, where 81 inches of snow
fell, where five persons were killed
and ten others lost, and where ST.

Hints Given Farmers BY
Experts.

Minneapolis.-Hog cholera was dis
cussed in detail by conference OF
county agricultural agents at the state
agricultural school.
DR.. M. H. Reynolds and DR.. H.
Creston Hoskins, both veterinarians,
delivered the principal addresses, the
former in a. talk on diseases OF cattle,
with special reference to proven
ton and treatment of hog cholera
and the latter on the work of the

Cattle Well Protected.
mo place in America and probably
nowhere else in the world" declared
DR.. Reynolds, "can a man buy cattle
with greater safety than in Minnesota.
Cattle in this state are extremely
free from tuberculosis and other dis
eases, and the risk on that score is
the minimum for the world" He gave
statistics on hog cholera showing sue
cess in more than 80 per cent of
cases.
H. NJ. Bush discussed the advantages
to be derived through organization OF
farmers clubs. The club and coop
Grafton ideas, fruit marketing and
other similar topics were on the final
program.
Farm water supply, farm sewage
disposal and farm forestry were dis
cussed at the session of the county
agents. Dean Albert F. Woods told
how water supplies are polluted and
how to prevent pollution. The prin-
cipal points made by Dean Woods
may be summed up as follows:
Points of Dean Woods.
The movement of bacteria through
close clay soil is slow. A shallow
well is never safe unless it is in close
clay soil. Care should be taken in
curbing a well to see that the drain
age is away from the we'll and that
the well is high enough so that surface
water will not get into it. Springs
and wells are frequently affected with
typhoid germs by persons washing in
the water and then allowing it to drain
back into the well. The covering of
well should be absolutely tight. Ty-
phoid germs and cholera germs and
mosquitoes may be killed in ponds by
treatment of copper sulphate or
chloride of lime, using one part to a
million parts of water by weight.
Dean Woods said extensive expert
ments had been carried on by the
government with sulphate and hyper
chloride and he referred his auditors
to the government bulletins explain
ing the results.
