MINIMUM WAGE CASE ...r
BEING ARGUED TODAY :
BEFORE SUPREME COURT
Grows Out of Jud4s's Decision
in To Restrain Enforce
ment of Law
(By United 'PresS)

St. Paul, Jan. 26.-The state mini
mum wage commission went before
the supreme court here today In its
6rst battle to establish the validity
of it's rulings.
Judge Albert johnson OF Red Wing
recently granted the G. o. Miller
Telephone company Of Goodhue coun-
ty an injunction restraining the
commission from enforcing it's rul-
fngs in regard to wages and hours of
labor. The commission appealed to
the supreme court.
Today, attorneys representing the
commission appeared before the high
tribunal to argue the appeal. 1t Is
believed the court will hear the case
as quickly as possible in order to
establish the status of the state body.
The commission was established by
the legislature to fix wages, hours OF
labor, and working conditions for
women and minors according to their
contention, and since the war fixed
the minimum wage for women and
minors at $11 week. The tele-
phone company refused to recognize
the ruling on the ground it was un-
just. The company declared busi-
ness would be wrecked by the ruling.
The commission is headed by
Charles w. Gordon Of St. Paul. Eliza
Evans is wage secretary.

impenetrable defense of the Metho-
dists.

mated at $5, 900

estimated loss,s Of approximately
$4,000 early Sunday morning at the

Nangle, who was sleeping in the
store, was awakened he had great
difficulty in gropeing his way out of
the building. III. -:
E., II. .'Jerrard and J. L. George,
who have rooms in the second story
of the building, escaped through a
window by ladder, the fire and smoke
being too dense for them to escape
by the stairway. 49,.
Most Of the fire damage was done
at the rear Of the store, while smoke
and water damaged the stock in the
warehouse and the front end of the
store and furnishing in the second
story. A hole was burned through
the upper floor, and the Moose hall
was damaged by smoke and water.
It is estimated that the loss is
$4,000, made up of 40
per cent loss to the building and
about SO per cent loss to the stock.

Remove the fiIm-coat

You brush teeth now, but you leave
much Of the film. A viscous film clings
to the teeth, enters crevices and stays.
The ordinary tooth paste does not end
it. So teeth too often discolor and de-
cay.
Dentists now know that the reason
lies in film. That causes most tooth
troubles. And, until one ends It, brush
ing fails to save the teeth.
Il IS the filrn-coat that discolors, not
the teeth. Film is the basis Of tartar.
It holds food substance which ferments
and forms acid. It holds the acid in
contact with the teeth to cause decay.

Another cleansing shampoo IS as
follows:
Beat up the whites OF two or three
eggs, rub them over the hair and rub
them wei into the scalp. After they
have dried rinse off with slightly
warm water. Rinse again in hot wa
ter, then in cool. and finally in fairly
cold water. If you must use soap on
your hair to get 1t clean, use only the

every particle is out. For it Is strong
soap or too much soap that makes the
