DENU, HAROLD J..DANE, Rditor. Mrs. Perry Starkweather. Death called Mrs, Perry Stark- weather in St. Paul yesterday morn- ing and the state-of Minnesota lost one of its foremost citizens. The people will not soon forget the intel- ligent zeal and devotion she brought to the women's and children’s depart- ment of the state labor buréau. Mrs. Starkweather has always been given credit for the establishment of the department of which she was the head. Her interest for many years had been centered in the work of conserving the welfare of the women and children of the state. Only last winter she was in Bemidji in connec- tion with this work. It was virtually a crusade for wom- an and child welfare that Mrs. Starkweather conducted, a crusade in which quick and delicate sympa- thy was a great factor of success as devotion and intelligence, and which carried her activities beyond the sphere of her official duties. Her methods did not always command undivided approval—the method of the person who does things seldom Wwill—but she accomplished much in her own way and was unremitting in her zeal and fidelity. Success stills criticism and she was success- tul to a commendable degree in a field which presented large oppor- tunity though surounded by difficul- ties. She gave the best and maturest part of her life to the service in Wwhich she enlisted and finally gave life itself. Her services to the state will be remembered with gratitude and her personality recalled with Dleasure. A Perfect Woman. Bemidji parents who are bringing up children shold note with care the way Mr. and Mrs. Richard Grant, of Minneapolis, are training their daughter. Mr. Grant is the track coach at the University of Minnesota. He is a Harvard man and a doctor by profession. The ambition of himself and his wife is to raise the world’s perfect woman. He says that any child can be so raised. Here is what a city dispatch says: “To make his two-year-old daugh- ter the world’s perfect woman is the aspiration and avocation of Rich- ard Grant, coach of track athletics at the University of Minensota. The future successor to Annette Keller- man is Margaret Ellen Hudson Grant, two years and two months old, un- able as yet to talk much, but quite able to swim and perform several varieties of calisthenics. Systematic daily exercise for little Margaret, beginning when she was three weeks old, when the chubby hands tugged at the finger of her father, has enabled the little athlete to go through a regular routine of physical culture exercises. “She has a chest expansion of nearly two inches, the normal chest measuring nineteen inches and her biceps muscles five inches. She could swim when she was eight months old and walked at ten months She weighs twenty-eight pounds and and can walk up and down three flights of stairs without stopping or losing her breath. She is strong for the outdoor life andkeeps her mother busy watching lest she emulate her feat. She can hang on a cane for forty-five seconds and can almost chin herself, and while suspended from her father’s finger she can swing to and fro eight times. “Margaret who, by the way, is named in part after Eleln Terry, her godmother, is a favorite of the athletes at the university armory and delights in mingling with them. Explaining his purpose yesterday to make Margaret the world’s perfect woman, Mr. Grant said: EuhicE “ ‘As soon as Margaret was born I determined to make her the world’s He bought his wife the finest clothes— She didn’t have to pray for them. ‘What brought about his lates woes ‘Was that he couldn't pay for them. J. W. Copeland, of Dayton, Ohio, purchased a bottle of Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy for his boy who had a cold, and before the bottle was ali; used the boy’s cold was gone.
