I was born in this city December 8,
1906. When 1 was IA months old my pa

Candy Versus Jimcracks

make worms?
Answer--Good candyN-real old stick
candy--is good for children. They crave
It, require II and should have it--but not
all day; only after meals or at meals.
Let It be dessert. Pure candy does not
spoil the teeth--it makes better teeth.
The worm" question would look better in
an almanac. Nothing but worms will
produce worms.

THE MUSKRAT LAW.

While the Pilot believes that
the muskrat should be extermin-
ated instead of protected, nev-
ertheless there is a law protect
ing these animals which do so
much damage to our grades and
the Pilot is requested to call at
tention to the fact that killing
muskrats, either for fur or sport
is a violation Of the law and
those guilty of the practice are
subject to prosecution. Section
1896 of the General Laws of
Minnesota, for 1913, provide
that no person shall take, catch
or kill any mink or muskrat at
any time between the 18th day
of April and the 1st day of De-
cember following, and that no
person shall molest, injure or
destroy any muskrat or mink
house or den at any time, or
hunt or pursue such animals
with dog or dogs, except in open
season, provided, when the
houses may for the purpose of
placing traps therein, be opened
in such manner only as will not
destroy damage or injure the
houses as place of habitation.
The law further provides that
those who fail to observe these
provisions shall be guilty of a /
misdemeanor and liable to a fine
or imprisonment Lake Wilson

thinkable dishes at very un-
thinkable times. They dissipate
with food just as some unfor-
tunates do with strong drink.
Take the average chronic COM
palmer and switch him from his
favorite complaint and in nine
cases out of ten he will discourse
at lengths on food he has met
and foods he is hunting for. And
should you appear not interest
ed, the growing glutton will go
back to the original subject and
rehearse his sufferings until you
are prompted by a desire to re-
lieve him with an ak. But it
takes all kinds of people to make
a world, and we must have a
few who wear a path from the
cookie pan to the medicine chest.

CAUSE AND EFFECT.

A doctor who thinks more of
his conscience than he does of
his practice dropped in yester-
day to remark that people who
are always parading their ills
and seeking sympathy are gen.
orally of the type that disre-
gard the important laws of ma
ture. AS long as women wear
furs in summer and smile in
winter they are apt to have
something to complain about,
for nature plays no favorites,
and ho&house plants do not
thrive on the hillside. Then the
sick specialist generally has a
deranged stomach, at least the
sick party thinks it is deranged,
and the fault may be traced to
a combination of alligator, coy
ote and elephant methods of de-
vouring sustenance. Lazy louts
who have little to do but worry
about themselves eat very un-

find faults; wherever they visit
d school they bring something.
For the seven thousand rural
districts, to which half the state
money goes, there might well be
more state inspectors than for
the city schools. For in the
rural school there is no prin-
cipal and the county superin-
tendent, doing the best he can,
gets around less than twice a
wear.
On the contrary-the state
has no inspectors visiting rural
schools. In the 1000 districts,
to which the state distributes
more than 100000 a year, there
is nobody in the field to watch
the effect and study the result.
It isn't reasonable. If you
were spending a million on
building project, you would set
aside something for planning
and supervising the work. The
state gets it done for three per
cent which is abnormally low;
usually it is five to ten per cent.
It's the business way. In a chain
of stores, or a line of elevators,
or in a department store, there
are always people who do moth
ing but walk around watching
and studying.
In the city schools, already
closely supervised, the state has
three people all the time watch
ing and studying so that the
money raised for improving the
common schools may be used to
the best advantage. Only in the
rural district, where the teach
er is plugging away the best
she can all alone, the state has
nobody in the field to watch and
study the result of it's efforts to
improve common school condi-
tions.
For effective supervision of
rural schools, the county super
tendent needs more help; for
the sake of getting the best re-
suits from it's outlay the state
should supply it.

The call evidently was not sent In
to the fire station for at least 10 min
utes after the bolt struck and the fire
had gained considerable Iheadway be-
fore the fire company could respond.
although the run was made in quick
time after the call came at 4.0S a. m.
According to Mrs. Cassidy the fam
lily did not know the building was
struck for some time after One of
the neighbors ran up, saying the barn
was on fire.
When the crash came at the time
the bolt probably struck Mrs. CASH
dy and other members of the family
looked out of doors to see if any of
the neighboring buildings were hit,
but seeing no fire they remained IN
the kitchen fora few minutes before
a neighbor saw their barn burning.
They could not get a call through to
the fire station on the telephone so
the alarm was rung from the nearest
box.
The light wind that was blowing
was carrying the sparks away from
the house so that building was in no
danger. The heavy rain that was
falling also contributed toward put
ting out any burning brands that
might have carried-toward the other
buildings.
