SUGAR A HEART STIMULAN1 Experiments of An English Physiciar Show Cures of Cases of Muscle Dilation. Sugar has had its champions as wel; | as its opponents. Its advocates have declared that, aside from its nourish. Ing value, it carries with it a quick stimulation that is without perceptible reaction. On the other side, says the Bakers Weekly, “we have had radical utter ances connecting sugar with some of the most incurable m organic diseases But an English physician recently con tended that cane sugar is almos specific in the treatment of cer! diseases of the heart Ilaid upon cane su Dr. F.

The 6ld dealer pointed | to trays of beef, lamb and pork trim-! mings beneath the counter, “When' customers ask to have all the waste that has been cut from thefr own meat wrapped up with their or- der be sure to put in a few of these trimmings besides,” he said. “Most al- ways they want the scraps sent home 80 they can weigh the whole business and find out whether they are getting full weight or not. Enough extra pleces to tip the scales half an ounce beyond the supposed welght won't hurt anybody and will give us a good name.” Shortly after that the new clerk heard one frugal housewife say to an- other: “Oh, why don’t you trade at Blanks? He gives such good measure; often almost an ounce more than you pay for” The clerk amfled Collard. | The then shown, ! and | all breeds | that in nu-| sentence for gettes yesterday.

Stanton polled by far the heaviest vote in the state contest and in the presidential race, LaFollette made a strong showing, materially cutting down the lead of Roosevelt but not enough to overtake the Colonel. The most of the votes cast today came from the city and indicated that party lines were shattered as nearly every La Follette vote cast, carried Stanton for governor. Taft dropped behind on the balloting and Debs advanced but one. The contest will close next Satur- day night. BAND LEADER CHOSEN. A, M. Remfrey, of Grand Forks, to Succeed Harry Masten. A. M. Remfrey, of Grand Forks, was selected by the band men last night as the successor to Harry Mas- ten, the present director. Mr. Mas- ten will leave about April 1 to take charge of the Grand Forks Military band and Mr. Remfrey will be in Be- midji by that time. Mr. Remfrey is a well known band man of Grand Forks, having been engaged in that line of work for some time. He is said to carry high recom- mendations of his ability both as a player and as a leader as he has been conneeted with some first elass or- ganizations in both capacities. The Bemidji organization -appears to be in good shape financidlly and Mr. Remfrey expressed himself as well pleased with the prospects.
