GOVERNOR PROMISES
FULL INQUIRY
Continued from Page ~


county ditch bonds of $765, 900 with
out endeavoring to procure competi-
tive bids, and with causing appoint
ment of two men as fiscal agents of
the county and voting to pay them
51h per cent commission on the sales,
all of which was unnecessary, &C
cording to the complaint.
A further allegation is that these
agents, George A. Elder and J. A.
Duffy, claimed to be representing the
Commercial Investment company and
the Farmers State bank of Red Lake
Falls, respectively, but were in fact,
according to the information and be-
lief of the petitioners, acting in their
own behalf.
Cost County $42,075.
This transaction is alleged to have
cost the county $42,075. Both COM
missioners, it is charged, were in COL
fusion with Elder and Duffy under an
understanding that they were to pro-
fit. Other charges allege improper
action on road contracts.
County Attorney Franz Jevne said
friends of the three commissioners
against whom charges were fled are
anxious to see the two remaining
members of the board, John Bursack
and M. A. Ulvedahl, brought into the
investigation.
"They contend that the votes were
unanimous in these Matters said MIR.
Jevne, land that all should fare
alike These charges have been fly
ing about for two years and it is
thought best now to have thorough
investigation to clear the air"
Brown Commissioner.
Last Saturday the governor ap-
pointed Attorney M. J. Brown of Be-
midi a commissioner to take the tes-
timony.
L. w. Wilson, Virginia, has been
appointed temporary county auditor
by the governor. He will serve at
least until Sept. 16, at which time
the board Of county commissioners is
scheduled to meet.
Citizens Urge Action.
Late Thursday Governor Burn
quist received telegram from citi-
zens at Northome, Koochiching coun-
ty, which read:
"Stand pat and give Koochiching
county thorough investigation. The
people want it, Be not deceived"

To look ones best and feel ones best
is to enjoy an insidesbath each morning
to flush from the system the previous
days waste, sour lamentations and poi
sonous toxins before it is absorbed into
the blood. Just as coal, when it burns,
leaves behind; a certain amount of in
combustible material in the form of
ashes, so the food and drink taken each
day leave in the alimentary organs a
certain amount of indigestible material,
which if not eliminated, form toxins and
poisons which are then sucked into the
blood through the very ducts which are
intended to suck in only nOurishment to
sustain the body.
If you want to see the glow of healthy
bloom in your cheeks, to see your skin
get clearer and clearer, you are told to
drink every morning upon arising, a
glass of hot water with teaspoonfuI
of limestone phosphate in it, which is a
harmless means of washing the waste
material and toxins from the stomach,

ing, sweetening and purifying the entire

If eight and nine o'clock Tuesday

Max Feldser was reduced to ashes in
IN incredibly short time. The fire
which is supposed to have had its be-
ginning in back room used as bed
Dom in which fire had been built ear
Ter in the morning by a servant, was
discovered before it had attained
much volume, but the failure to get
telephone connections delayed the

Girls and women with sallow skins,
liver spots, pimples or pallid complex
ion, also those who wake up with q
coated tongue, bad taste, nasty breath,
others who are bothered with headaches,

ton should begin this phosphated hot
water drinking and are assured of very
pronounced results in one or two weeks.
A quarter pound of limestone phos-
phate costs very little at the drug store
but is sufficient to demonstrate that just
as soap and hot water cleanses, purifies
and freshens the skin on the outside, so
hot water and limestone phosphate act
on the inside organs. We must always
consider that internal sanitation is vast
ly more important than outside cleanli-
ness, because the skin pores do not alb
sorb impurities into the blood, while the
bowel pores do.
Women who desire to enhance the
beauty of their complexion should just
try this for week and notice results

Why the Sun Is Hot.

If we could build up solid column
OF ice from the earth to the sun, two
miles and half in diameter, spanning
the intervening distance of 93,ooo,ooo
miles, and if the sun should concen-
trste mis- entire power upon 1t, II
wbuld dissolve in single second, &C
cording 70 a calculation made by FRO
fessor Young.
The great German physicist Helm
holtz was the first to explain satisfac-
torily what keeps the sun hot. The
sun Is not burning; 1t is heated to the
glowing point, like piece OF white
hot iron. Helmholtz found that If we
suppose the sun to be contracting by
only $50 feet year we would receive
our present amount Of heat In other
words, heat is being literally squeezed
out Of the sun. Professor Newcomb
estimated that when the squeezing
process has continued for about 1000
900 years the sun will be one-half its
present size.-Popular Science Month

States which are regarded as doubt
full at this time by the republican
leaders, but in which they will do a
great deal of work with the expecta-
ton of carrying number of them.
are:
Arizona, 8; Colorado, 6; Kentucky,
ka, s; New Mexico, 3; Oklahoma, 10;
Indiana. 10; Wisconsin, 10; Wyom-
ing, 8.
These eleven states" said Mr.. Will
cox, have total of 100 votes and
while none of them have been placed
as reasonably certain, several of them
might well have been SO placed. At any
rate, feel that a guess on twenty-five
votes out of the 700 is, to say the leasA
conservative, and unless l prove to be
very poor guesser Hughes and Fair
banks will poll upwards Of $50 out OF
the total of 531 electoral votes in NO
vember next.
The Wilcox statement indicates that
republican leaders are still looking
back to the enormous majority VI
Thompson over Sweitzer in the
mayoralty election last year as indica-
tive of conditions in Illinois. With re-
spect to the situation there, Mr.. Will
cox said:
Wilson carried Illinois in 1912 and
yet received 225,05S votes less than
the combined Taft and Roosevelt vote.
In 1914 Senator Sherman defeated Sui
Ivan for the senate and the combined
republican and progressive vote ex-
ceeded the democratic vote by over
100000. These figures the last election
in Chicago for mayor, and the past
history of this staunch republican state
justifies me at least in the berief that
Ihave made no mistake in placing Hi
nois in the list of sure ones"
In discussing Iowa he said
This is another state carried by
Wilson in 1912. altho receiving almost
100000 votes less than the Taft and
Roosevelt vote; while in 1914 Cummins
was reelected senator by almost 10000
majority If Iowa is not properly to
be regarded as safely republican TINS
year, then, indeed, are we poor
guessers."
He puts Michigan in the safety col
umn thus:
The election returns Of 1912 show
very comfortable situation in this
state. Wilson had 150,751; Taft, 1o2,-
244, and Roosevelt, ?l4,5S4 votes. TO
the casual observer it does not seem
like wild prediction to put Michigan
in the list of reasonably sure states"
