Your system is continually taking

during life. But, sometimes the or,
gans do not properly function and
these waste products, instead Of pass
ing out through the pores Of the skin,
through the kidneys and through the
alimentary canal, are absorbed in the
blood. Then the blood becomes .pois-

BY q unanimous vote, members OF
the Blue Earth County Medical society
last night adopted the following, which
is self explanatory:
"The medical profession is con
fronted with problem that must lead
the recent ruling Of A. w. Mellon,
secretary Of the United States treas
ury. By this ruling a physician may
prescribe two and one half, gallons
of beer or two quarts of wine as a
medicine and there Is no limit as to
how frequently he may give this pre-
scription to the same patient. The
ruling further provides that these bev-
erages shall be sold by the druggist,
delegating to him the right to de-
termine whether or not the patient
who holds a prescription for either
one or both lof these beveragas is in
need of the same for medical purpos-
es. This is a veritable paradox.
"By this ruling the druggist Is made
the bartender and the physician the
servant Of the inebriate the wine bib

BOOZE. WAS SOUGHT
Federal Agents Made Raid
At Rochester, MINI.
PULLED STRING THERE
Unique Device Found Designed
To Let the Liquor Out OF
Sight

Rochester,. November 1.-The Wig
wan on South Broadway, and the
North Star, soft drink parlor neal
the Northwestern depot, were search.
ed on Saturday night by Oscar G
Ronken, county attorney, the deputy
sheriff, and two police officers.
Nothing was taken az the place near
the depot, now operated by ID. S. Cot
ton. A glass of liquor was found and
confiscated in the Wigwam, which
when analysed, may result in arrests
An ingenious continuance, designed
to trick the searchers for liquor, was
found at the latter place. The device
consisted of a trap door, or slide un.
der the counter above a wash basin
This arrangement was intended tc
hold a container of liquor and was
held in place by a stick. A lona
string, extending the full length Of the
bar, could be jerked in an emergency
and the glass or 'container Of liquor
would be dumped into the basin which
was eighteen inches deep. 1t would be
an easy matter to fish out the booze
after the search was completed.
The searchers confiscated the
string, the trap door and the rest OF
the continuance, along with a glass
of liquor.
The men then went to the drink
parlor known as the North Star. Nc
liquor Of an intoxicating nature was
taken in the search there. It Is the
belief of the men conducting the raid
that the proprietors had been tipped
OF and were prepared when the
searchers put in an appearance.
