Says Paper Showed
Disrespect to Dead
By Use of Word
Minneapolis, MINI.

Minneapolis, MINI.
January 10, 1913
Editor: In referring to the death
of Mr.. Joseph Young in your issue
of January 18th I for one thought
it unbecoming to you as an Editor
to refer to him as a character.
There are no more characters, they
went out with the last war.
Everyone was put in this world
to live his or her life as sees fit, and
who are we to judge a mans Life ?
AS far as the public was con-
cerned, and what we are no one
cares in these days. We all try to
live so that our fellow man will
think well of US. And to speak de-
spairingly of the dead, when they
can't speak for themselves shows
lack of respect for the dead.
Mrs. E. M. Fassett,
(REPRINTED TO CORRECT
. ERROR)
In our haste to answer the let
ter of Mrs. E. M. Fassett last week
we omitted a couple of words in
our editors note which completely
changed our real meaning. Words
are darn pesky things when used
out of place. Here is our corrected
explanation.-Editor.
Editors Note: The New Century
Dictionary, page 23s, Vol. I, defines
the word character thusly: 90" " =
a distinguishing mark or feature;
characteristic; also the aggregate
of characteristics or distinguishing
features of a thing; peculiar quail
ity; also moral constitution, as of
person or a people; often strong
ly developed moral quality, also
reputation; often good repute; also
an account of the peculiarities of a
person or thing; also status or ca
pacity; also a person considered as
exhibiting certain qualities"
The suggestion that the use, of
the words "well known character"
in the news story mentioned in Mrs.
E. M. Fasset's letter was intended
to cast reflection on the subject of
the story is far fetched and without
foundation. A moments check of
the dictionary as is shown above
will indicate how erroneous such
deductions are. A common news
paper term, the word character
may be used to describe a variety
of persons and the word alone
does not carry an unfavorable
connotation.

CALCIUM '....
The Great Human
T.. .'-' Need -.

People Of all ages need calcium
and few today get a sufficient
amount of it for the greatest Of
most abundant health.
The best and the cheapest source
Of calcium Is in dairy products.
The lower the income for food
the greater the need for more of
dairy products in the regular every
day diet Of all Of US.
Fresh fluid pasteurized milk
daily in some form should be used,
either as a beverage or in cooked
food.

This hand was played in a dupli-
cate tournament, and in duplicate
bridge there is great deal Of
jockeying for the best final contract.
South expected to 60 down a trick
at four spades, losing 100, rather
than risk having four clubs, which
scores 130, made against him.
West opened the club three, and
dummy's ace won 1t. Knowing the
correct technique in the play Of
such trump suit, when the object
is to avoid losing trick, South led
the spade jack from the dummy.
This is winning play against any
combination of outstanding cards
except a singleton king in East's
hand, and the singleton king, Of
course, Is unlikely.
East covered the spade jack with
the king, and South won the ace.
South now led q heart, and West
ducked, so dummy's ten won.
Now South took a finesse for
the ten OF spades, realizing that
West must have singleton spade
In order to raise clubs so often.
The finesse won, Of course, and
the spade queen drew the last
trump. Now South lost only one
heart and two diamonds, making
his contract. II South had first
led low spade toward the 40 and
finessed the queen, East would have
had a sure spade trick, and the
contract would have gone down.

ASK ADDE'S REMOVAL

There were several demands
that Adde's be removed as chair
man.
Earlier, in reporting on his talk
with President Roosevelt. Thomas
said that the President had as
Sured him that he would immedi-
ately see 10 il that prices on some
Of the more important items, such
as meat and bread, were rolled
back.
Concerning the WLB and its ap-
plication Of the executive order
freezing wages, Thomas said:
II told the President IL was
the greatest mistake he ever had
made. The President said that
the order was being misinter-
prPted nv the WLB and they
still could work out inequalities.
II they continued their present
policy. he said, he would amend
the order. He added that in
CAPABILITIES and inequities should
he worked out"
Complete control Of the VINO

by Thomas.
Resolutions were passed de-
that prices be rolled back
