According to statement made by
Chief Inspector II. e. Emerson, of the
grain inspection department of the
state of Minnesota. 272 cars OF wheat
and &c cars Of rye have been i'm
ported from Canada since September
for milling In Minneapolis. This
wheat was sold in competition with
the American farmer and necessarily
deprived him of market for ssS
cars of grain. Not only that, but II
served to reduce the price the Amerl-
can farmer would otherwise receive.
These figures cover only the amount
milled in Minneapolis. 1t will be In
teresting later to see the figures COW
ering importations OF Canadian grain
for milling in other American cities.
The democratic tariff law reduced the
tariff on wheat from 20 to 10 cents
and placed rye on the free list.

HOW AROuI LIZ


II you knew you were going TO die
tonight,
How would you spend today?
Would you endeavor some wrongs to
right,
Or waste it in idle play?
Would you foolishly murmur, and
fret, and frown?
Would you look on the world with
lustful eye.
With a cap and bells would you play
the clown?
Would you eat and drink till the
end grew nigh7
Would you hoard your wealth like a
miser, cold?
Would you lie and cheat. in your
greed for gain? -..
Would you sell your soul for a piece
of gold2
Would you scorn the poor in their
want and pain?
Would up SANDER some brother,
whose upright life
Had won him place in the halls
OF fame?
Would you gossip and tattle and stir
IN strifs7
Would you flch from your neighbor
his honest name2
Would you gamble and brawl. and
curse and fight
Consider. and earnestly pray:
II you knew you were going to die
tonight,
How would you spend today7

WHAT TO DO FOR
ITCHING SKINS

Eczema, ringworm and other itching,
burning skin eruptions are SO easily
made worse by improper treatment that
one has to be very careful. There is one
method, however, that you need not hes
itate to use, even on q baby's tender
skin-that is, the resinol treatment.
Resinol is the prescription of . Bslti-
more doctor, put up in the form of res
inol ointment and resinol soap. This
proved 20 remarkably successful that
thousands of other physicians have been
prescribing it constantly for 20 years.
Resinol stops itching instantly, and
almost always heals the eruption quick
" and at little cost. Resinol ointment
and resinol soap can be bought at any
druggists.

Medical Inspection by Compuision.
Editorial from The Cedar Rapids
Times OF October H. repuplished by
reduest-1
Medical inspection. whether one
wants it or not, seems to he coming
apace- In Nebraska, the city of Be-
atrice has adopted it. 1t is an iso1-
lated case. but that is the way even
the hoof and mouth disease spreads,
by isolated cases. In New York City
the health department is demanding
that leach pupil at the time OF his or
her admission to a public school, or
free school supported in whole or In
part by funds obtained from direct
taxation" shall be examined lin the
absence of all clothing by a duly
licensed physician authorized to prac-
tfce medicine in the state of New
York"
we must confess we do not like this
sort OF business. 1t is not exactly
compatible with our ideas Of freedom.
We are foolish enough to presume
that most parents in America are still
wise enough and good enough as par
ents to look after the welfare OF their
own children. Most parents have
about as much sense as most doctors.

are many parents who are not only
ignorant but who lack the instincts Of
parenthood. That there may be some
neglected children should not subject
all alike to the attentions OF public
inspector of children's bodies.
In New Jersey, the mothers OF high
school girls have assumed an hostile
attitude toward the compulsory doc
tors and we do not blame them. They
ought to start a riot. Every nincom-
poop who holds certificate from the
state is not either professionally or
morally fit to strip another mans
daughter, even to the waist, as the
rule seems to be in that state. The
Newark women allege that absolutely
no regard was paid to the modesty OF
the girls. The state doctors took the
girls in groups, after the fuss had
been made about it. These officious
doctors refused to ray attention to
TIE protests of parents. even when
they sent with them certificates from
their own family physicians.
1t is not all the public against the
doctors, but it is the doctors against
the doctors Case after case is cited

stated that the children sent home as

Try resinol soap for week. You
win be surprised to see how it clears

because it contains the soothing, heal
