the best interest of the farmer. I
did not have confidence in the
management Of the Department of
Rural Credits. Last fall, called at
tention to the increased cost of the
administration of that department.
At any time, denials were attempt
ed by the departmental statist-
ician. However, my warning was
needed for a time. and for a short
while both salaries and expenses
were curtailed. Since then both
salaries and expenses have again
risen, and recent dispatches from
the publicity department of the
Rural Credits Bureau indicate the
hiring of still more men, necessita-
ting still further expenditures for
salaries and expenses. Here I had
anticipated a actual and continual
loss to the public Trust Funds, I
had objected to it. No substantial
results were obtained. I can no
longer be a party, no matter how
fir removed, to such an investment,
I believe will add still further bur-
dens to the farmer and to his fell
low taxpayers throughout the State.

Medical Experts Attack
Alleged Diabetes Cures
Mayo Clinic Physician Insists
Successful Treatment Depends
Upon Diet and Insulin

Rochester, Mimi, March 28-
Successful treatment of disabetes
depends on diet and on insulin
alone, DR.. Frank N. Allen, of the
Mayo clinic said in a public adj
dress here when he attacked so.
called cures" of the disease.
Numerous things are advertised
as 'surses-drugs of all kinds.
glandular extracts, special foods,
mineral waters and electrical de-
vises," DR.. Allen said. Many think
they are benefited and give testi-
monials. The reason they are de-
ceived by these things is that they
do not appreciate how much bene-
lit may come from just a little
change in diet made at the time of
the trial of the remedy. They do
not understand how much improv-
ment may occur if the urine is
kept free of sugar for a time.
Persons with diabetes are persis-
tently solicited to try fraudlant
and worthless methods of treat
ment. They should be warned not
only because of the useless waste
OF money, but because of the risk
which may follow neglect of pro-
per treatment. This is a particular
ly important consideration with
young people. If treatment of a
diabetic child is abandoned for ex-
Fermentation with some uncer-
tain remedy, he may; lose his life.
The lives of thousands of per-
sons have been saved through the
use OF insulin since it's discovery in
1922, DR.. Allen said. -.-.. ,

Highway Department Gets
Low Oil and Tar Prices
Commissioner BabcOck Purchases
Surfacing Material at Very
Reasonable Quotations

Minnesota will get it's bituminous
road material at lower prices this
wear than ever before, according to
figures given out by Commissioner
C. M. Babcock. Bids were taken a
week ago on 12,034,000 gallons OF
road oil, tar and asphalt, for use
on 354 miles Of new treatment and
LOGS miles Of retreatment.
Prices on material were quoted In
tank cars at stations nearest the
lob. Low bids on No. 1 oil averag-
ed 4.35 cents a gallon compared to
1872 a year ago. On No. 2 oil the
average was 5.41 cents this year
and $50 cents a year ago. On tar
the average was $50 cents a gallon

this year and 8.42 cents last year.
Low bids on application, includ-
ing hauling from tank cars and
spreading on the road surface, av-
eraged .972 of one cent gallon this
year compared to LIB cents in 1881
Prices in 1881 were substantially
lower than in previous years. Larg-
er quantities, as well as improved
methods and machinery, have tend
ed steadily to bring down prices
on both material and application.

Bullying Purses Are Not
Essentials to Good Health
Sunshine, Simple Food, Rest Are
Cheap. Say Doctors; Within
Reach of Everybody

st. Paul April "A re-adjustment
of philosophers to be more or less
the order of. the day.
The significance Of this read
justment is nowhere more appar'
emit than in matters pertaining to
health says today's regular bulletin
from the Minnesota State Medica,
Association.
There are many wise people
says the bulletin who believe that
the end results of the period thru
which the United States and the
world is passing. will be highly
beneficial though the process be
painful. People are being forced
to realize, among other things, that
money has it's limitations. And in
the meantime, lack of as many dol
lars to spend as we had few
years ago need not diminish oul
stock of health.
THE factors that constitute the
foundation for that glorious trilogy
Vim, Vigor and Vitality are gener'
ally speaking still at the command
Of nearly everyone, the doctors
point out.
Sunshine is not on gold stand
ard any more than are good food
habits and rest. Even food, which
takes money, takes less money than
it did in 1929" ~.-.
It follows, the doctors point out,
that health is to a considerable ex-
tent ASSOCIATED from the necessity
for a bullying pocketbook. Health
now, as always, is for the man or
woman who is willing to give his
health daily attention and to de-
velop the power to resist alluring
and expensive temptations that
menace it. Gold enters into the
problem scarcely at all-at least for
a vast majority Of persons.
"Why not devote some OF the at
tention that we no longer require
for attending to investments and
bank accounts to the banking OF
surplus health!' asks the bulletin
in conclusion. "When the boom
comes, as it is bound to do, we
shall then be better able to stand
up under it."

Chief Brown has stood behind his
men, regardless Of attempts to
bring political or other outside
pressure to bear.
As when he was sheriff. Chief
Brown spent considerable Of his
own money buying the things he
felt necessary for the making of an
efficient patrol. His farm became
the training ground for applicants.
On the farm, in military-like at
mosphere, he instructed his men in
courtesy, grammer, Minnesota ge-
ography, traffic laws, motor me-
chanics, first aid, boxing, wrest-
ling, jiu jitsu and the handling of
firearms, no halfway measurers
were accepted. Every man had to
be a master of all these subjects
before he could wear the uniform
of the patrol. lxISl
A year ago, when the patrol was
enlarged, the farm again became
a training camp. = ..s .
The reputation for personal
bravery and rapid action that
Brown earned as sheriff, was in
creased as head of the patrol.
While catching bank robbers and
subduing wild Indians was not ex-
actly included in the duties of pa
trolling highways, Brown has done
both.
In October, 1880, Brown, his wife.
and their chauffeur, Fred Hamil-
ton, were driving along the north
shore of Mile Laos near Vineland
just as an Indian was attacking a
70-year-old man with an ak.
Brown and Hamilton wrestled the
AK from the Indians hands.
Then they had the squaw to con-
tend with. She came running out
with a shotgun. IT grabbed the
shot gum" vas Browns terse and
undecorated comment on that part
of the affair.
A little more than a year earlier
in August, 1929, Chief Brown per-
formed job because: when they
started shooting I got mad" that
resulted in the wounding of one of
Elk River bank bandit and the
falling of his two companions.
But Brown took little credit for
the feat. Instead he paid tribute to
the nerve and driving skill of Mike
Auspos, patrolman, who with
Brown chased the bandits at break
neck speed during the running
gun fight through rough country.
When the affair was ended,
Chief Brown apologized for his
action in pursuing and capturing
the bandits. He took pains to ex-
plain that he was not acting in his
capasity as superintendent of the
parol. He and Auspus, who drove
the car, he explained, were off
duty and were acting as private
citizens.
1t may be a far-fetched conclus-
ion but at any rate, the daring of
Brown both as sheriff and chief of
the patrol, may have been inherit
ed. An ancestor, Captain David F.
Brown, was the first Minute Man
to shoot down a British soldier in
the Revolution.
Earle Brown was born in St.
Anthony, the son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Elwood c. Brown and the grandson
OF Captain John Martin, east side
pioneer and one of the founders of
the Northwestern Consolidated Mil
ling Co. AS a youth, Brown spent
several years studying in France.
He was graduated from East high
school in 1900. )
During the war Brown was con-
nected with the government in the
investigation Of spy cases. -.
In February, 1921, Brown mar
ried Miss Gwen Foster, daughter
Of G. e. Foster. 80

COP. REMAINS
SHY Of BOGEY,
/ PROHIBITION

Prohibition is still the bogey
man of the Republican high COM
mand.
Notwithstanding numerous con-
ferenceS which various party
leaders have had with President
Hoover during the past week and
the strong pressure that has been
brought to bear on the White
House for a liberal" plank in the
party platform, an agreement on
this issue is still far from realiza-
ton.
Reports Fill Air
At various times during the past
few weeks it has been reported
that the Republican resubmis-
sionistS had won the President
over to their side.
They had succeeded in con-
vincing him, it was said, that
the trend of the times and the
condition of party fortunes made
1t necessary that the platform
to be adopted in Chicago next
month afford some solace for the
Republican vets.
But today it seemed those re-
ports were exaggerated-or at
least premature. In his most re-
cent conversations with his prin-
cipal advisers, Mr.. Hoover is said
to have declined to give his sane
ton to several tentative planks
which would pledge the party to
resubmission of the Eighteenth
Amendment.
Blocks the Move
Moreover. those who have
talked with him say the Presi-
dent has displayed a marked
aversion to the whole discussion
of prohibition, and particularly
vita the efforts to commit him,
personally, on any part of it.
