ALL DAY SUCKERS"
FORBIDDEN BY BILL
Another Health Measure Requires EIec-
trio Lights I'm HOtelS-Can't
BE Blown Out.

Taking candy from the baby" is the
latest crime charged up to the Mime
sofa legislature.
Rep. George w. Rodenberg has pre-
pared bill placing the ban of the law
on the "all day sucker.
'T was requested to introduce this
bill by DR.. Justus Ohage, health COM
missioner of st. Paul." said Mr.. Roden-
berg. HE says these candy suckers
are frequent carriers of disease, be-
cause they are passed from one child to
another"
The bill makes it misdemeanor to
sell candy suckers. A fine of from
$50 to 800 is provided for violations.
The bill Is one of half a dozen health
measures prepared by Representative
Rodenberg at the request of DR.. Ohage.
The batch probably will be introduced
today. One Of them is designed to pro-
tect the lives of rural visitors in Min
neapolis, st. Paul and Duluth, making
it compulsory for all hotels and lodg-
ing houses in those cities to have cleo
trio lights instead of gas.
"You can't blow out an electric light"

OF you have impressed me as though
you were starving"
Heads of city departments asserted
today that a superficial examination
of municipal statistics failed to show
results that might be attributed to
lack of sufficient nourishnient caused
by the high price of food.
At the offices of the board of health
it was said that the death rate con-
tinued to be lower this year than last
and that statistics OF illness apparent
ly did not show that lack of nourish-
ment had been an increasing cause Of
disease. These figures are not taken
as final because the acute rise in
prices has been too recent to be re-
Elected in statistics now available.
A survey Of the city directed by the
mayor will ascertain the prevailing
retail prices of foodstuffs in quarters
where the disease Is greatest and dis
cover what stocks Of food are on
hand. .-s.r <.as.,sa.s
Produce dealers assert that high
prices are due to the natural cause of
short supply and deny that they are
making huge profits.
Scarcity of staples has resulted in
the appearance of foods seldom seen
here. A shipment of 5000 bags Of
Brazilian beans, an article virtually
unknown here before. has arrived and
should retail at from to 8 1-2 cents a
pound. Ordinary beans are Is cents a
pound.
Health Commissioner Emerson saws
that he expects to see prices advance
still further and that the situation will
have to be met by a radical change in
distribution.
Spreads to Philadelphia.
Philadelphia, Feb. %. DisorderIy
scenes occurred in part Of the city
populated largely by people of foreign
birth today when bands Of women
made demonstrations against dealers
who have raised food prices. In a
melee between crowd of women and
others attracted to street where
stores were being attacked g. woman
suffered a broken leg. The police sue
ceeded in dispensing the crowd with
out any. serious injury. being done.
Chicago, Feb. 22.-When shown the
statement of the car service commit
tee of the American Railway associa-
ton to the effect that Chicago grain
shippers have been receiving 200 cars
a day, j. p. Griffin, president of the
board of trade said:
For thirty days Chicago has been
shipping four or five cars day, that's
all. We had. 1t Is true, cars of west
ern roads to load. but we couldn't get
them hauled east Now we are In
formed that we must get our cars
from eastern roads. That practically
shuts us out of the eastern market

yers continued In conference on the
situation.

TONNAGE TAX BILL NOW
BEFORE STATE SENATE
Former Moorhead Boy Was Leader OF
Opposition When Bill Was De-
bated in the House.

BY a vote OF SO to 81, the house of
representatives late Tuesday pass
ed the tonnage tax bill, which pro-
poses to place a per cent tax on
the merchantable valuation of iron ore
at the mouth Of mines.
Throughout the four hours debate
which preceded the vote q spirit Of
bitterness was strongly in evidence.
Twice speakers refused to permit
Interruptions for questions, and
charges that the United States Steel
corporation was behind the opposi-
ton to the bill were hotly resented.
Hon. Charles T. Murphy of st. Louis
county was the leader Of the opposi-
ton to the bill. He is a former Moor
head boy, who has made good as an
attorney and a lawmaker.
Members of the state senate hope to
make the bill a special order for next
Wednesday or Thursday. ".@
Both friends and opponents of the
measure declare they want it. out of
the way. and that there is nothing to
be gained by delay for either side.
Members of the tax committee said
they would grant a hearing to any
one who wanted 1t. but that they
would not delay the bill for that pur-
pose.
