CITIZENS BECOME INTEREST
ED AND CALL ON COUNTY
OFFICIALS

An aggravated case of ill-treatment.
abuse and slow starvation came To
light in the south part of the city one
day last week. It was brought to the
attention of the police and county.
officials, and possibly woman's life was.
saved. Wednesday evening two ladies'
called at the home of A. A. Schlump-
berger and said that woman living in
the home of man named Bauer was
being shamefully ill-treated; that the
won an, who is a sister of Bauer, and
who was i'll had been kept for year or
more in the attic of the home, amid
the filthiest possible surroundings, was
not allowed to change her clothing in
fact had none to change and was practi-
cally kept alive on bread and water.
Citizens Investigate
Mr.. Schlumpberger communicated
his information the next day to N.
Henningsen, who summoned Acting
Chief of Police Alvin Harmening. The
latter with Messrs. Henningsen.
Schlumpberger and Adolph Meile, went
to the Bauer home to make an investi-
gation. There, they said, they found
that the story had not been overdrawn-
The woman was found huddled in a,
corner Of the attic, lying on bundle Of
rags, and with the air SO foul that it.
was almost impossible to breathe. Mr..
Henningsen summoned County At
torney Adolph Frederickson. The.
latter called County Physician ]. H..
Vogel who had the woman sent to
hospital where she is beeing cared for
in a proper manner, and is said to be
improving rapidly.
Law Does Not Provide
County Attorney Frederickson says.
there is no law under which Bauer and
his wife may be prosecuted. Had the.
woman been minor the case would
have been clear, but the legislature.
evidently considers that an adult is.
usually able to take care of himself or
herself, In this and similar occasional
cases such does not seem to work out.
It is presumed that by the time the
woman is able to leave the hospital
some provision will be made so that she
will not be compelled to return to her
former intolerable surroundings.

tended the picnic given by the Society
of Equity, in Anton Henle's grove,
eight miles west Of this city, in Milford
township, last Sunday. Farmers III.
terested in the movement, and their
families began gathering at the grove
by II o'clock in the forenoon, and when
the exercises began early after the noon
hour the crowd was so large the managers
of the affair had their hands full in hand
ling it. A basket lunch was spread on
the tables in the grove and everyone
enjoyed themselves to the limit.
Speeches And Music
Following the dinner the farmers and
their wives gathered before the speakers
stand to listen to the speeches and the
music, while the young people danced
in the pavilion. Two bands, the Mil
ford and the Home Boosters furnished
music for the gathering during the day,
and in the evening the Sigel orchestra
furnished music for the dance, which
continued until late at night.
Louis Spellbrink presided at the
meeting. After extending hearty
welcome to the visitors and delivering
short talk on the object and accom-
plishments of the society, he introduced
Col. A. R. Wilkinson of Lake Elmo,
who gave a comprehensive discussion
of the benefits of cooperation among
the farmers. Colonel Wilkinson's
address and his points were heartily
applauded by his hearers. Colonel
Wilkinson is an able speaker.

The second speaker on the program
was F. M. Sharp of St. Paul, one of the
founders of the organization, whose
address was also closely followed by an
intensely interested audience. Mr..
Sharp gave comprehensive history of
the inception of the society, it's growth
and of the effective work it is doing for
it's members.
One Non-Partisan Speaker
L. M. samuelson of Lafayette, a
member of the executive committee of
the Farmers Non-Partisan league, adj
dressed the audience on the work that
is being done by the organization.
Many of the farmers throout the
northwest are members of both organic
ations, and, both are growing rapidly in
this vicinity, especially in Brown and
Nicollet- counties.
Those in charge Of Sundays picnic
are well pleased with their efforts, while
the large number present left the
grounds feeling that the day had been
spent in profitable manner.

Dermatologist Gives 7.
 Complexion Secret

"The great secret of keeping the face young is to keep off the dead GU ticle," says Dr. J. Mortimer Mitchell. "1t is well known that the surface skin is constantly dying. falling off in imperceptible particles, except in some diseased conditions, when the same appear like dandruff. But the particles do not drop off imme- diately they die, being held for a while by the live skin.
 gro have the dermatological surgeon Geel off the entire outre skin at one time is painful and expensive oper- ation. The same result is obtained by applying ordinary mercolized wax as you would cold cream, allowing this to remain on over night, then taking it off with warm water. One ounce usually suffices. The process is both painless and inexpensive. Te wax, which is procurable at your drug store. hastens the natural she'd ding process. It gradually absorbs the dead and half dead skin, revealing the new, healthy, youthful-looking skin underneath" Advt.

 But in the trenches it means food that frequently must be eaten cold. It means water sometimes carried for hours i'll the canvas canteen bottle. It means sleeping when one can, and catching" a smoke only when the gleam of a match cannot be seen across the parapet of the trenches.

 For the needs of the American sol- diers now iii France, the Red Cross has already made provision. Troops are re- ceived al large reception camps on the French coast, and after several weeks of preliminary training are sent to per- manent training camps just back of the firing line.

But though she founders with Nigh,
