"A Modern Cinderella is not a

Look back at your childhood days.
Remember the "dose" mother insisted
on-castor oil, calomel, cathartics.
How you hated them, how you fought
against taking them.
90, With our children it's different.
Mothers who cling to the old form OF
physic simply don't realize what they
do. The children's revolt is well-found-

injured by them.
If your child's stomach, liver and

action is positive, but gentle. Millions
of mothers keep this harmless fruit

love to take it; that it never fails to
clean the liver and bowels and sweet

given today saves a sick child tomor-

Mobilizes Seed Resources.

Minneapolis. - In order that every
available acre in Minnesota may do
it's share toward producing crop that
will furnish an abundance of food,
Dean A. F.. Woods of the agricultural
college of the University of Minnesota
is mobilizing the seed resources of
the state. Planting time is at hand.
That there may be no idle acres, the
owners of seed and the owners of land
must meet. The agricultural college
will act as a clearing house.
The university's farms will aim to
make this record crop producing
year. All experimental plots will be
reduced to the minimum. and all avail
able ground will be planted to staple
crops, to be used for food or held over
for seed. There are 5000 acres in all
the state experiment farms.
Production of larger supplies of
meat by taking good care of breeding
stock, growing of larger crops and
crops that are better suited for fur
nishing food supplies, direction Of ag-
ricultural laborers to get the largeHt
returns from their work, and saving
as much as possible in the home, are
things included in Dean Woods plan.
Dean Woods has recommended the
conservation of all breeding stock and
the production of as large supplies of
meat and wool as possible.

House Passes Pu!olic Donna in Ril.
st. Paul, April 12.-After one Of the
most bitter political fights in the his.
tory of the Minnesota Legislature, the
bill creating department of public
domain was passed by the House of
Representative by vote of 70 to 43.
Charges of excessive lobbying on the
part of Governor Burnquist and State
Auditor j. A. o. Preus, the former for
the bill and the latter against it, were
frequent throughout the long debate
on the measure.
After the House had passed the pub.
lie domain bill it killed the bill reor-
ganizing the educational department.
and passed the bill relating to the
health board, after amending it by
striking out the main portions of the
measure.
The public domain bill now goes
back to the Senate where it once was
defeated. 1t has been amended by TAX.
ing out the provisions for director Of
public domain, making the governor
the head of the department, with five
bureau chiefs as heads of the separate
bureaus.
That the bitter fight between the
governor and the auditor will be con-
tinued until the bill is acted on in the
upper body, is the prediction of lead
ers on both sides.
