Bellwood was getting red in the face. We'll,

Quick, triumphant glances flashed between
the girls.
What else do you in that fool cup?"
MIR. Bellwood ordered.
Nertzy obHgingly turned it again. Il see

NertZy was not one to overact. "A teacup
is not a telephone directory, Mr. Beilwood- I
can only say that the woman is near-very, very
near And the leaves warn you not to delay"
Mr. Bellwood was breathing hard. lone

Every one felt positive this was said with no
other idea than to pique Mrs. Tobin- That's
why NertZy was stunned later to see Nippert

Taxpayers to Save NIL
lion a Year on Roads
State Highway Department Takes
over Maintenance of $500 Miles
Additional Highways

Minnesota counties will save
more than one million dollars a
year from now on by being reliev-
ed of maintenance and improve
ment costs on the $500 miles of
county roads taken into the state
trunk system this month. This is
the estimate of the state highway
department. -...-.-
The average county expenditure
on the heavily travelled roads
which were generally added to the
state system has been about $500 a
year for maintenance alone, ac-
cording to highway department en-
glneers, although this figure varies
considerably in different localities.
AS all these roads also require
frequent OUTLAWS for improvement
and betterments in addition to
maintenance, the savings to county
taxpayers should run far higher
than million dollars a year over
a period of several years.
The state highway department
must maintain and improve the
new routes from it's regular reve-
nues. This year it has a trunk
system II, 300 miles in length to
care for, compared with only $500
miles previously. The highway de-
partment reduced it's expenditures
in 1888 by more than so per cent,
compared with 1892.

opportunity of examining and samp-
ling hundreds of new apples, plums,
craps, Strawberries, raspberries and
others.
These are some Of the things the
state society offers the cities and
towns throughout the state. But
the organization of garden clubs
seems to suggest limitless number
OF self-helps. They would stimu-
late local interest in planting, dec
Grating, and landscape gardening,
They would promote contests, flow
er shows, fruit demonstrations as
well as many other wholesome civic
activities.
SO to any person, member of this
society or otherwise, who feels his
community would be receptive to
such an organization, we suggest:
IA Talk the matter over with a
few friends and get their reaction
on such a project.
y. Write the state society and II
will send you detailed instructions
as to the preliminary work needed
TO form a local organization.
The membership fee in this So
caety, as most people know, is 81
a year. Local branches pay the
state society 80 cents of the an
nual fee, and retain the 70 cents for
local activities providing such a
local auxiliary has a membership
of IS or more.
Write to the secretary, Mr.. r. S.
Macintosh, University Farm, St.
Paul, Minnesota, who will be pleas
ed to give full information and
details of how such local garden
clubs may be organized.

Many Earaches Have Been
Reported by Physicians
Prompt Care for Running" Ears
Urged By Public Health
Bulletin

st. Paul, Feb. 5.-Never neglect
an earache says a bulletin issued
by the Public Health Education
Commute of the Minnesota State
Medical Association today.
An unusual number of earaches
have been reported in several Min
nesota schools and towns this win
ter, according to this bulletin, and
physicians in consequence warn
parents that neglected ear infec-
lions are frequent cause of deaf
ness as well as of dangerous mas
told infections.
"Earaches and running ears de.
velop from variety of causes and
as a complication of a number of
diseases.
ANY acute cold is likely to in
volve the Eustachian tube leading
from the nose to the ear, from
which inflammation spreads easily to
the middle ear. Measles, scarlet fe-
yer, influenza and meningitis are
frequent offenders and should be
watched closely for possible ear
complications. Diseased sinuses,
infected tonsils, and adenoids also
contribute to trouble in the ears.
Proper surgical treatment of these
contributing causes very often clears
up otherwise stubborn cases of
running ear.
1.-THE best modern opinion ad-
vises surgical rupture of an inflam-
ed and discharging ear-drum before
the drum has a chance to rupture
by itself. Healing is more rapid
when it is done promptly and
there is smaller chance Of chronic
toruble and impaired hearing later
lon"
Neglected running-ear Of child
hood has been found to be one Of
the principal causes of adult deaf
ness, according to the bulletin.

Additional Garden Clubs
Are Needed In Minnesota
The State Historical Society VIII
Sponsor Movement Among
Their Members

Alfred Swanson, Red Wing, pres
ldent of the Minnesota State Hor-
ticultural Society announces that
the society, in an attempt to
broaden is usefulness to the peo-
pie of the state, is anxious to pro-
mote the organization of local gar
den clubs as branches of the So
ciety in towns throughout the state.
The society feels that the general
public, the home owner with a gar
den plot and flowers, and the gen.
eral grain and stock farmer, have
really more to gain through a MEM
bership in the society, than has the
professional horticulturist. This
latter person has sources of anthem
tic information and easily keeps in
touch with the latest in things hor-
ticultural.
The state society does not want
to direct the activities of the pro-
posed local branches, but merely
stimulate their organization and
contribute to their development.
It is felt that if the public knew
the valuable contributions the So
ciety is able to offer the towns
Throughout the state, through such
branches, many would be organized
this winter and spring.
Few people know the great ad-
vance that has been made in fruit
breeding, for instance. Or that
there are pear trees, plum and cher
ry plum trees, grapes Of many
kinds, apples, berries, to say moth
ling of countless vegetables and flow
ers which are given free to the
members Of the society each year.
l.. Every member of a local so
ciety is entitled to choose and have
mailed to him, one of these new,
interesting and sometimes almost
priceless plants by paying only Is
cents for packing and postage. Lists
supplied free.
