million pounds is ordered for neutrals

France and Italy. England is not
now in the market, for pork and has
sixteen weeks supply on hand.
The packers may now seek at their

The Cause of Many Mysterious
Pains and Aches.

Many women have come to know
that sex isn't the reason for all
backaches, dizzy headaches and urin-

kidney weakness. To live simply, eat
sparingly, take better care of ones

WOMEN WILL MAINTAIN THIS
SPLENDID ORGANIZATION AL
THOUGH WAR is AT END

In a telegram to all state chairmen
of the National Council of Defense,
Secretary of the Interior Franklin K.
Lane answered the question as to
whether, now that hostilities had
ceased, that organization would con-
tinue in existence.
Organized primarily for the pur-
pose of promoting food conservation
and child welfare work for the gov
eminent during the war, the Council
of Defense soon broadened it's
activities to reach nearly every i'm
portant branch of war work, it taking
part in all Liberty Loan drives, War
Savings Stamp pledging, and the
United War Fund campaign. All this
could be efficiently carried on be-
cause of the Councils splendid or
ganization, from state chairmen down
to captains" of each block in every
city and village in the country.
Mrs. T. G. Winter, state chairman
of the Council for Minnesota, prompt
ly mailed copies of the telegram above
mentioned to all county chairmen,
who, in turn, notified local chairmen.
Secretary Lanes request is, that the
Council maintain its organization.
While there is no present work to be
done, yet the request is, that all or
CARNATIONS hold themselves in readi-
ness to act when the government calls
again. ==r.-s~@a ..
The local Council in Sank Centre
has given its attention largely to the
work of Sammy Backers." Every
block has it's captain, and the work
o., the Council was frequently called
upon during the past trying months.
The local organization will continue,
and each member will feel herself
resdy, when called upon, to do further
work. 800

St. Paul Legislative Neps

St. Paul, Feb. 4.-If there is a
member of either the house or senate
who is not for comprehensive system
of good roads, the cost of the same
to be met by a bond issue running up
into the millions of dollars, he has
not yet declared himself. However,
while the two legislative bodies to a
man are for the permanent establish
ment of a trunk highway system, tn
same to be written into the constitu-
ton they are not going to stand for
any particular mans scheme to bring
about the desired improvement.
Members generally are going to insist
on being shown and it is certain that
the question will be thoroughly
threshed out before final action is
taken. This week it might be said
saw the firing of the opening gun in
the campaign for the passage Of the
needed Legislation when bills, in
corpated in which what is known
as the Babcock trunk highway plan
were introduced in both houses and
have since been printed in sufficient
qualities for general distribution
among those interested. o. S. Swenson
of Nicollet County is fathering the
measure in the house while P. H.
McCarry of Cass county is performing
a like service in the senate. To be
frank about it the McGarry-Swenson
bill is not to the fancy of a number of
members in either house who look up
on it as too involved and also as writ
ing into the constitution a fixed
system of trunk highways without any
flexibility as regards the future. So
far the criticism INDUCED in has been
more or less under cover as the feel
ing is general that nothing should
be done to obstruct, but all that is
wanted is leader and then look out.
think several are in the making.
Nothing big in a legislative way was
ever attempted or put over, but what
some one worked out a bunch that
there was a niger in the wood pile
somewhere and the present highway
bill is no exception to the rule. The
bunch with some is that the asphalt
and bithulitic combines are taking too
active a part in the proposed legisla-
ton. Speaking plainly persons for
merly connected with these two hard
road service materials are quite active
in behalf of the so-called Babcock
plan. The necessary propaganda for
good roads, however, must have it's
inception somewhere and the interests
mentioned are only doing their part.
Necessary all road material men are
interested in movement that is now
sweeping the United States and it is
only natural if they busy themselves.
To date their work has been clean.
Perhaps it may not be the Babcock

plan, but you can be certain that it
will be system equally as good. The
Forty First Minnesota Legislature is
pledged to good roads and the neces-
sary legislation will be enacted.
Substantial relief has been assured
the fire sufferers of the North forest
country and the tornado sufferers OF
Tyler, Minnesota, as result OF a
joint meeting of house and senate
members held Wednesday. 1t was
agreed to appropriate $1,800,000 for
relief purposes and this amount will
be raised through the medium of an
issue of certificates of Indebtedness
covering a period of years and which
will be retired by small tax to be
imposed annually during the life of
the same. Of the amount $4,000 will
go to the tornado suffers of Tyler.
Active in the understanding reached
were Thee. Christensen, chairman of
the house appropriations committee,
A. J. Rockne of the senate finance
committee and Sen. Fred Bessette of
st. Louis county.
Sen. F. L. Cliff of Ortonville has
taken upon himself the task of pro-
viding the state with comprehensive
drainage system. 1t is to be brought
about by the adoption of new drain
age act and will include the establish
ment Of food control zones and basins.
North and South Dakota flood areas
are involved. That the Minnesota
drainage system is far from perfect
is generally known, but so far all
attempts at reform have met with
failure. Perhaps Sen. Cliff may get
by, but he has a big job on his hands.
For several days now special COM
mittee in the house headed by Rep.
Bendixen Of Redwood county has been
delving into the exorbitant prices
charged by the milling companies for
bran and feed stuffs generally, but the
prices keep up just the same. The
fact that bran jumped up overnight
from $27 a ton to almost SAT a ton
following the retirement of the gov
eminent price fixing committee from
the field was shown, but no one could
be found who could explain. A. D..
Wilson, former food commissioner of
Minnesota at one Of the hearings
tried to explain that the whole thing
was the result of an abnormal demand
and that the prices would soon drop,
but this did not help the thousands
of poor devils in the cities and pouu-
lation centers who have been compel
led to pay almost prohibitive prices
for milk and butter as a result of the
jump. Bran heretofore almost a
worthless product in way, has been
a vertible gold mine for the millers.
