film supports the undissolved cssefns
in the milk, as well as some coaga-
lated albumen and fat.-Teehnieal

THE CROP I'M TEXAS

Says the Minneapolis journal, Texas produced crops
last valued at four hundred and million dollars.
But just across the Rio Grande about all they are
raising is-a dust. +"
There is wealth of wisdom in this simple With
cism which applies to many other places besides hMexco
and Texas. We all gather the fruits of what we sow,
and men. cities and communities grow strong that
which they devote their attention. So long Texas
devotes its attention to raising crops. is going
raise crops long the Mexicans devote their
attention to politics, their crop of revolutions will keep
springing up.
The application of the rule to ST. Pau and Mime
apos often strikes whenever visit those cities.
Old ST. Paul talks and dreams and revels in politics.
Porters and business all seem to think of nothing
else In Minneapolis is all different The ignorance
of the average Mnneapotan the subject of politics
almost pitful. Sound out Minneapolis business man
and the chances you will md he knows about the
Balkan situation than he does about Minnesota politics.
He knows the Balkan situation because that affects bus
ness. and he devotes his attention to business
The result st. Paul is the political capital of the
state but Minneapolis is the commercial capital.
