STATEMENT BY BEACH
GIVES OUT PRINCIPLES OF
HIS CANDIDACY
John Lang Enters Councilmanlc
Contest; Political News OF
The Day

DIR. w. A. Beach today issued the
following statement regarding his
candidacy for mayor and the princi-
pies on which he is seeking the sup
port of the voters:
ITO the voters of Mankato: AS
am candidate for mayor it is fitting
and proper that you should know
where stand on matters Of public
concern. Although I have lived in
Mankato for nearly a quarter of a
century, eighteen years of which !
have been member OF the board of
education I nay think that during
this time my personal conduct has
shown to you my principles, there
may be those who do not know them.
First and foremost is enforcement
of law and the maintenance of order.
This is necessary in the nation, state
and municipality If we are to have
contentment, happiness and prosper
ity. Mankato depend largely upon
her schools for her progress and
prosperity. We must have clean
city, well guarded against sinister
infuences-a city to which fathers
and mothers can send their sons and
daughters without fear of their be-
coming contaminated.
"We must have economy in public
expenditures. We must have real
business administration. This does not
mean niggardly policy that will re-
tard progress. .stifle enterprise and
place obstacles in the way Of those
essentials which mean for the up
building of this community. Taxes
mus. be reduced This will be an in
centive for people to build and make
their homes in Mankato.
Every dollar expended by the mu-
nicipality should be for definite pur-
pose and exchanged for full value.
The health department is one of
the most important in a municipality
and it should be handled in a moot
efficient manner.
81 believe in a square deal for ev
ry one. Favoritism will not be toll
Grated. / will not be influence
any clique, faction or element but IL
elected will be mayor of all the peo-
pie.
II will give to the position of mayor
the best of my ability and devote to
lit all the time that is necessary for
the careful and efficient discharge of
its duties. l make no extravagant or
foolish promises and can not be infal-
liblae. l stand for the best there is in
ClIiZeuSulp anu Will lenQ my Efforts
to promote every interest that
means for bigger and better Manka-
to.
"UDon these principles / am as'--
ing for the support of the voters of
Mankato.-W. A. Beach"
John Nyquist was interviewed by
The Free Press today in regard to
the report that petition was being
circulated by his friends for signers
with the view of having Mr. Nyquist
become candidate for mayor at the
coming primaries. Mr.. Nyquist stat
ed that he understood that there was
such a petition out, but that he had
not changed his mind as to his form
er decision which was not to become
a candidate for mayor: He said that
he had nothing to do with circulating
the petition and die not originate
the idea.

WILL UTILIZE RIVER POWER
French Government Prepares Plans
for Development of Immense
Electrical Power.

Paris.-Plans now in course OF
preparation by the French government
contemplate the development of q
yearly average of 100000 horse
power by 1894 through the utilization
of the rivers of the country for the
manufacture of electricity.
The creation of energy for the cleo
IRRIGATION of the railways and the big
industries of France has received tre-
mendous impetus since the armiStice
Reports just completed show that
within the last three years 49,
100000 francs have been invested in
40 power plants throughout France
by French investors.
The recent visit of President Mil
lerand to the valley of the Rhone re-
vived interest In the famous Rhone
water-power project, plans for which
have been completed and now are be-
fore the senate for ratification. The
chamber Of deputies approved the
scheme in October, 1919.
The RhOne project as 1t is known
In Europe, is one of the most com
prehensive water-power developments
ever conceived and involves the ex-
penditure of 3,OOO,OOO,0OO francs. No
fewer than 20 lesser projects have
been launched in France, but the
Rhone is further advanced than the
others.
1t has been estimated that the
Rhone project, together with the other
big projects, would effect an annual
saving of 100000 tons of coal, thus
diverting this to other purposes and
materially reducing the importation of
coal by France.

THE RIGHT THING
AT
TIE RIGHT TINE
BY MARY MARSHALL DUFFEE
THE GIVEAWAY

A man by nothing is so we'll betrayed
as by his manners-Spenser
FiiEkE me many persons who feel
Z that Il mans table manners are an
index to his general good breeding. If
he handles his knife and fork in the
way that is accepted as correct" they
will put him down as we'll bred until
they have very conclusive evidence
that he is not but if he shows ignOr-
ance of or Indifference 10 this accept
ed method then it will take much to
make them believe that he has any
claim to good breeding. This may be
unfair, but it is true. Here are some
us to remember i'll our manners at the
table,
The salad is cut with the side of the
fork and then eaten from the side of
the fork.
Fish soft entrees and. in fact, any
thing that does not absolutely demand
the use of knife, are separated into
small pieces by the use of the fork.
which is most excellent, as the knife at
its best is Il most ungainly utensl.
That you should never mash Your
food with your fork and never sit with
your fork or knife appraised, like tele-
graph pole.
That when not in use, either knife or
fork must be laid on the plate at one
side
Never tilt your fork and knife on
the sides of your plate, that is, with
the candle on the tablecloth on either
side and the tips on the edge of the
plate.
That every time q course is removed
you should lay the knife, fork or spoon
used in eating it on the side Of the
plate.
Do not cross knife and fork on the
plate, but lay them side by side.
IN eating soup, custard, fruit, or any
dish which demands spoon, be sure
you sip the food noiselessly from the
side of the spoon, never from the tip.
Never dip your individual fork or
spoon into a dish that is passed to You,
but always employ the fork or spoon
which will be found on the tray beside
the dish, or on the dish itself.
All sorts of small relishes, like rad
isles, olives, sailed nuts and bon-bons,
are eaten from the fingers, but this
must be done very daintily.

Banana Salad,

Slice one-half dozen bananas and
chop one cupful Of walnuts fine; add
little salt and mix with enough may
onnaise dressing to make the salad
of the right consistency; add one cup
full of freshlyroasted peanuts, and
serve on lettuce.
Young cooked beets followed out
and filled with peas, peanuts and
chopped pickles makes, with good
well-seasOned dressing, most tasty
salad. >"

The Home of the Soul.

In olden times, it was believed tina;
the seat of the soul was the stomach
most likely for the reason that man
is never so completely used up as
when his stomach is out of order. For
the cure of ordinary stomach trouble
there is nothing quite SO prompt and
satisfactory as Chamberlain's Tab
lets. They strengthen the stomach
and enable it to perform its functions
naturally. Give them trial. They
only cost a quarter.-Advertisement.
