The condition has become so grave that in several cities there is con- certed action by supreintendents, foremen and laboring men in factories to relieve the condition said to be responsible for the high prices of meats. Representatives of the packers bave attributed meat prices to the “gluttonous demands” of consumers, intimating that if the consumption was less the falling off in demand would result in diminished prices. Taking the packers at their word, the Cleveland factory men began, on Jan. 17, a boycott on meat, agree- ing to buy none for a period of thirty days. The movement has spread to other cities. The abstainers proclaim that if prices do not decline at the end of thirty days that they will abstain for sixty days. In the homes of most industrial workers, meat is a once-a-day luxury, in other homes, a once-a-week luxury. Nor are the industrious able to buy the expensive cuts of meat, usually purchasing the cheaper parts of the beef for boiling. Therefore it seems that the Lenten season will be strongly rein- ‘forced this year in the matter of abstaining from meat. 'ALL'ARE FALLING IN LINE FOR DEVELOP- MENT. Northern Minnesota newspapers are “faling into line” nicely in com- mendation of the development and reapportionment meeting which will be held in Bemidji February 17-18, and the following, taken from ' the Brainerd Dispatch, isin line with ‘the’ unanimous voice of the press of 'this section: A ‘mass meeting has been held at Bemiidji for the purpose of arranging for'a Northern Minnesota promotion ‘canvention. The committee having charge of the matter is W. R. Mackenzie, F. S. Lycan, G. W. Campbell, J. O. Harris and ‘A. P. Ritchie, ‘and they have issued an invitation to the commercial clubs of this section of the state to send dele- igates to the convention which has been called for that city on February 17 and 18th. 75l “The following is the substance of the Cll’culll’ letter being sent out. “It seems to be conceded that in the counties lying adjacent to or north of the Northern Pacific railway from Duluth to Moorhead, lies the greatest opportunities for the development of natural resources and advantages, and that the de- velopment and profitable use of those resources require railroads, highways, drainage, advanced farm- ing, good local markets and just and wise federal and state legisla- tion, a libaral investment of state * | monies for highways propér, manner of selling state lands for'school and road purposes,legislative reapportion- ment of the state, and to secure these helpful agencies, concerted action on the part of this territory would be exceedingly beneficial and important, if not necessary.’” HEAVY LOSS OF LIFE AND PROPERTY Western Europe in Grip of Se: vere Storm. London, Jan. 2 .—Practically the whole of Western Europe is in the grip of a storm, with blizzards, floods and hurricanes causing damage that will run into the millions and a heavy loss of life. The storm extends from the British Isles, through Central Europe, to Cen- tral Italy and to Gibraltar. The northern, western and southern coast lines from Copenhagen to the British Isles are dotted with wreckage that tell of the storm’s fury. Both water and land traffic are great- 1y restricted and telegraph communica- tion has been so badly crippled that it will be some time before the full ex- tent of the deaths and damage can be learned. There have already been numerous reports of drownings, both on the seas and in the land floods. In addition to the terrible flood that now covers one-third of France the north part of Spain is now suffering a like calamity. - WILL BE PUT INTO REALTY Harriman Millions Are to Be With- drawn From Wall Street. New York, Jan. 2'—The millions left by E. H. Harriman are to be withdrawn gradually from Wall street, according to a statement published here, and will be invested to a large sxtent in high class Manhattan realty. Mrs. Harriman’s advisers, it issaid, realize that without the hand of Mr. Harriman to guide and guard her in- terests in stocks there might easily be manipulation which would cause a large loss to the estate and might have a farreaching effect on the finan- clal interests of the country. FIRE DESTROYS SAVINGS Italian Occupants of Shack Marrowly Escape Death. Cass Lake, Minn.,, Jan. % '—Fire completely destroyed a shack where twelve Italians were living. All their belongings, including $1,500 in money, were destroyed. The men hardly had time to escape through a window and several received serious cuts from broken window glass. This is the sec- ond time within two yéars that their home and year’s savings were de- stroyed by flames. The Italians were afraid to put their money in a bank. ‘They hid it in their bedding. WHEN HER BACK ACHES, A Woman Finds All Her Energy and Ambition Slipping Away. Bemidji women know how the aches and pains that come when the kidneys fail make life a bur- den, Backache, hip pains, head- aches, dizzy spells, distressing urinary troubles, all tell of sick kidneys and warn you of the steal- thy approach of diabetes, dropsy and Bright’s disease. Doan’s Kid- ney Pills permanently cure all these disorders. Here's proof of it in a Bemidji woman’s words; - Mrs.- A. Van Vard, 1218 Bel- trami Avenue, Bemidji, Minn., says; “I have used Doan’s Kid- ney Pills with satisfactory results and can truthfully recommend them to anyone suffering from kid- ney complaint, had a dull pain in the small of my back which caused me much dis- comfort. Other symptoms showed that my kidneys were disordered and were the cause of my suffer- ing. I atlength saw Doan’s Kid- ney Pills advertised for such com- plaints and deciding to try. them, I procured a box at the Owl Drug Store. I used them carefuilly as directed and the pains soon dis- appeared and my kidneys became strong. 1 am confident that the lrelief I received from the use of Doan’s Kidney Pills will prove permanent.” For sale by all dealers. cents. - Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, New York, sole agents for the United States.

ALL FACTORIES CLOSED Industrial Plants Along the River Seine, the Greatest Commercial Ar tery in France, Compelled to Sus pend Operations—High Waters In- undate Two Hundred Thousand Homes in the Capital City. Paris, Jan. 2 .—The hopes of the people of Paris for a change in weath er that would relieve the terrible flood situation were met by snow and a ris ing temperature that melted the snow as fast as it fell. The weather bureau promised no re lef. Not only are the local conditions menancing; but reports from other sections of France and Western Europe indicate that no improvement is likely for several days. Soup and bread lines, the inevitable result of the destitution wrought by the floods, have formed in Paris. The situation in Paris is so appalling that no accurate estimate of the dam age has been attempted. It is roughly estimated that 50,000 men are unem- ployed in the city and suburbs and that at least 200,000 homes have beer flooded. Not a factory along the Seine which is the greatest commercial ar- tery in France, is now in operation. The damage to the river front fac tories alone will be several millions, with every indication that tremendous additional loss will be suffered. The Paris-Orleans railway is com- pletely tied up and the Gare des In- valides, in Quai d’Orsay, is flooded. Subway traffic under the Champs Elysees has suspended. Losses Will Be Stupendous. Premier Briand and Minister of Finance Cochery, after a consultation, estimated that the flood losses would exceed $200,000,000. - Paris is beginning to feel the pinch of hunger. The supply of fresh meat and vegetables is falling and prices are soaring to famine figures. Some avaricious bakers who attempted to double the price of bread were rough- ly handled and two of them were thrown into the Seine at Charenton. Hundreds of persons have perished in the valley of the Doubs. A whole family was rescued by soldiers in an autoboat after the members had been swept’ from a raft and the father, holding ‘a revolver above the floor, ‘was about to shoot the others and kill himself. In Paris the situation became more desperate momentarily as the day pro- gressed. At 4 p. m: the Rue Royale between the Place de la Concorde and the Madeleine, the famous church edifice, began to sink and was hur- riedly roped off. Several big fissures have occurred in the Javel region. The boulevard adjoining the Pont de Bercy and the street in front of the Louvre museum also began to cave in. Foot passage across the Pont des Saints Peres has been stopped. The flood invaded streets are filled with rowboats, the owners of which de- mand fabulous prices for the removal of furniture and valuables to places of safety. By afternoon the water had in- vaded the postoffice building and forced the employes to flee. Military Rule in Force. General Dalstein, military governor of Paris, has divided the city into the five sections for military control at the direction of the minister of war, General Brun. This was done to reg- ulate and expedite the campaign of relief. The authorities now believe that it will ‘be possible to save all of the stone bridges, the only fear being for the iron Pont des Arts and the Pont de Solferino. ‘West street, at the west of the for- eign office, is in imminent danger of collapse, being sustained only by the compressed air forced from the flood- ed subway, which runs underneath. Should this fall the entire street must. cuve in. The archives of the foreign office in adjoining buildings appear safe. The cabinet met in extraordinary session and ‘decided to open for the shelter of refugees the Pantheon, St. Sulpice seminary and other former church properties whlch escheated to the state. The rate at which’the Seine is ris- ing was increased slightly. An addi- tional rise ‘of thirty-two inches is ex- pected. The ‘entire district back of the Qual de Javel is inundated and the watér is emerging from the sew- ers at many isolated sections far from the Seine. Prefect of Police Lepine has an- nounced that it would be possible, he thought, to save the 3,000 persons who ‘were imprisoned in the upper stories of their homes'at Alfortville. Boats manned ‘'by soldiers are removing the endangered ones. Playing With Matches Fatal.

It Has Been Proved ‘that Microbes Cause Baldness Professor ' Unna of Hamburg, Germany, and Doctor Sabourand, the leading Freach dermatologist, discovered that a ‘microbe causes baldness. Their ‘theory has time and agein been amply verified through research “experiments car- ried on under the observation of eminent scientists. This “microbe odges in the Sebur, ‘which is the natural hair oil, and when permitted to flourish it ‘destroys ‘the hair folli- cles and in time the pores entirely close, and the scalp -gradusally takes on a shiny “appearance. “When this happens there is no hope of the growth of hair being revived. Dandruff is'a contagious disease, which is Targely/due ‘to a’destructive microbe, which when left to pursue its course causes itching scalp, fall- bair ‘and baldness. Dandruff is caused by 'microbe affecting the glands which produce the sebaceous matter, which latter then unnaturally dries upand scales'off. < We have a rémedy which vnll, we_honestly believe, -remove “dand- ‘Tuff, ‘exterminate the “miérobe,” pro- mote good circylation in the scalp and around the hair roots, tighten and revitalize the hair roots and ovércome baldneds; bo 160g ‘as ' there is any life left in the hair roots.

GLAVIS IS CALLED FIRST Dismissed ‘Special Agent of the Gen- eral Land Office, Who Preferred the Charges Against the Seécretary of the Interior, " Initial Witness ‘on the 8tand—Scores of Others to Be Called During Investigation. ‘Washington, Jan. 2'—The adminis- tration’s ‘probe into the Ballinger-Pin- chot controversy is on. ‘With the meeting of the joint senate and house committee for the taking of testimony in the investigation of the conservation squabble and its out- growth of charges and counter charges begins what promises ‘to be the big- gest overhauling of the affairs of gov- ernment in the department since. the ventilation of the famous postoffice scandal of seven years ago. L. R. LOUIS R. GLAVIS. Glavis, former chief of the field divi- sion of the general land office, was summoned as the first witness. Two policies are on trial—the “let- ter of the law” and the “spirit of the statutes,” with Richard Achilles Bal- linger aligned with the former-and backed by the - administration’s strength, and Gifford Pinchot, former chief foresteér, and his assistants, the champions of the latter—with the wraith of the Roosevelt policies as their invisible aid. Glavis First to Make Charges. The direct: manner in which the con- gressional committee of inquiry pro- poses to deal with the work undertak- en was evidenced in the summoning of Louis R. Glavis as the first witness to give testimony. Glavis is the dis- missed field agent who preferred charges against Secretary Ballinger: in connection with the Cunningham coal claims in Alaska. Glavis sent the charges direct to President Taft and the latter, after considering them, wrote a long letter to Mr. Ballinger declaring that the latter had been un- Justly attacked and that Glavis should be immediately separated from the Bervice. Since dismissal Glavis has carried on an unrelenting campaign agalnst Secretary Ballinger by means of interviews and signed articles in various publications. It'was in connection with the prepa- ration of the Glavis charges against Secretary Ballinger that Gifford Pin- chot was drawn directly into the con- troversy. Mr. Pinchot directed Asso- clate Forester Price and Assistant Law Officer Shaw of the forestry bu- reau to" assist Glavis in framing up charges. 'These facts, proclaimed by Mr. Pinchot in a letter to Senator Dol- liver, together with the letter itself, led to the dismissal of Pinchot, Price and Shaw from the forestry service. Scores of others will be examined and the committee, or at least a ‘por- tion of it, will. probably make a trip through the West and to Alaska .dur- ing the summer to secure facts. A re- port of the findings of the, committee "therefore 'is mnot “expected until_ the ‘next sessfori Of congress.
