be great immigration to America
and there Is no finer state than ours
in the Union for the people who wish
to start new home.
"The home Is the greatest OF hui
man institutions. and the fact that
our state is the pioneer in the work
OF improving and identifying home
conditions should make our people
Justly proud. This thought of i'm.
proving home conditions is the basic
idea of the proposed Minnesota ex.
hibition.
"The exposition authorities at San
Francisco warmly favor the plan
They wire, everybody most enthusiasts
tic about this most original idea OF
an exhibit. II is entirely different
from that proposed by any other
state"
Much OF the exhibit will be per-
manent and of future use to our
state fair, the extension service, and
the immigration commissioner.
Meeting Was Held.
At about eleven o'clock this morn
ing a meeting of business men was
called in the Office of Secretary Scar
ing of the Commercial club to dis
cuss with Judge Wilson of Saltwater,
who is the man appointed by Cover
nor Eberhart to take charge of the
Minnesota exhibition at the Panama
lao nf m tC
ing funds for the exhibit. About ten
men were present. who had been
hurriedly called by telephone, and il
was found impossible to call all men
who might aid i'm the project. Judge
Wilson explained the matter in de-
tail. practically as outlined in his
interview. He said that $500 would
be required In Mankato, and sug'

to make up the amount. All present
were very favorably disposed to the
plan and eight men signed at once
leaving only twelve more to sign
winch the secretary OF the CONNER
cial club will attend to having signed
by business men directly after the
holidays.
Senator J. w. Andrews was pres
ent. and wished to sign, but the gen
tlemen present opposed this, as any
act he might afterward take i'm the
senate toward the returning by the
state of the money might be con
strued i'm personal way. Those who
signed notes for 500 each this morn
ing were +. Z. Crandall, president OF

In the opinion of the French mill
tary authorities the Germans are be-
ginning to lose their grip on France
and Belgium. An official summary
of the results achieved by the allies
In the offensive movement recounts
the progress by many points, which
seems to have disturbed the enemy"
II is asserted that the Germans are
now fearful of attacks and every
where are on the defensive.
The latest communications from
Berlin, however, tell of the spirited
offensive movements with resulting
gain and makes it appear that the
German armies are firmly holding
conquered ground. There are SINH
lar conflicting statements concerning
the campaign in the east. The Rus
sian war Office challenges the recent
accounts of great German victory in
Poland by denying the "malevolent
reports" of the last ten days. While
| II is admitted at Petrograd that the
recent retirement of the Russian
forces TO new positions was not en-
tirely voluntary. the claim is made
that the armies are now i'm safer and
stronger positions.

CHRISTMAS CAROL.

1t came upon the midnight clear,
The glorious song of old,
From angles bending near the earth,
To touch their harps of gold;
Peace on earth, good will to men
From heavens all-gracious King!"
The world in solemn stiffness lay
TO hear the angels sing.
Still through the cloven skies they
came,
With peaceful wings unfurled;
And still their heavenly music floats
Ger all the weary world;
Above its sad and lowly plains
They bend on lowering wings.
And DER its Babel-sounds,
The blessed angels sing.
But with the woes of sin and strife
The world has suffered long:
Beneath the angel.strain have rolled
Two thousand years of wrong:
And man, at war with man, hears not
The love song which they bring;
Oh, hush the noise, We men of strife,
And hear the angels sing!
And ye. beneath life's crushing load,
Whose forms are bending low,
Who toll along the climbing way
With painful steps and slow,
Look now, for glad and golden hours
Come swiftly on the wing:
Oh, rest beside the weary road
And hear the angels sing.
For 10, the days are Fastening on
BY prophet bards foretold,
When with the ever-circling years
Comes round the age of gold;
When peace shall over all the earth
Its ancient splendors fling.
And the whole world give back the
song
Which now the angels sing!

Take Plenty of Time to Eat.

There is a saying that rapid eat
ing is slow suicide" If you have
formed the habit Of eating too rap
idly you are most likely suffering
from indigestion or constipation,
which will result eventually in Sc
rious illness unless corrected. Di-
gestion begins in the mouth. Food
should be thoroughly masticated and
insalivated. Then when you have a
fullness Of the stomach or feel dull
and stupid after eating, take one of
Chamberlain Tablets. Many Sc
we're cases of stomach trouble and
constipation have been cured by the
use Of these tablets. They are easy
to take and most agreeable in effect.
