Charts presented to the house money trust investigating committee ‘Wednesday showed: That eighteen leading financial firms, of which J. P. Morgan is one, have 746 directors in 134 railroads, financial and industrial corporations representing an aggregate of $25,- 825,000,000. That condensing the list of those who control the financial resources of the country it appears that J. P. Morgan & Co., the First National bank, the National City bank, the Guaranty Trust company and the Bankers’ Trust company, all of New York are represented by 341 directors in various corporations that have an aggregate of $22,245,000,000. That still further condensing the list it is found that the Morgan com- pany, the Guaranty Trust, the Bank- ers’ Trust and the First National bank are represented by 229 directors on the boards of corporations. That the leading financial institu- tions have many directors in common forming an interlocking system that binds great financial institutions to- gether. Every time we pay a three cent fare in Xlinnesota, J. P. Morgan gets his share of it. Cabinet Men in Congress. The suggestion made by President Taft today in his third message to congress is along the lines which have been laid down by the leading political economists of the United States for many years past. It is to be hoped that congress will act as favorably as possible on the matter. The United States is about the only nation which does not allow its cabi- net officials, or “holders of portfolios” as they are sometimes called, to h(‘)T(l seats in the national assembly. In nearly all foreign countries, the cabi- net members are taken from one of the thouses of the national assembly 4 and hold their portfolios only as long > ‘t’hey are in accord with the ma- jority of the assembly, 'STARTING A MINE FARM. The raising of wild animals for| their fur is a subject of much inter- est and the biological survey offers the following practical hints on mink farming: Minks should be kept in the ‘proportion of one male to five or six females, and each breeding female should have a separate pen. Rutting begins about the middle of February, and the young are born about the middle of April. The male should be kept by himself except at mating time, when he should be admitted to the female’s pen for about one day. The females must be kept separate or they will be likely to kill each oth- er’s young. The male would also kill them if he had a chance. Bread and sweet milk, corn mush and milk, or corn mush cooked with bits of meat in it, is the best steady food. Meat, which may be of a very cheap kind, or fish should be provid- ed about twice a week. Feed once a day, except females that are suck- ling young, which should be fed twice. Provide fresh water regular- Do not salt the food. Keep pans clean and feed only as much as the animals will eat up clean at each feeding. Pens should be five or six feet square, the sides of smooth wide boards cut four feet long and set up with the lower end resting on a foot- ing of stone or concrete eighteen inches in the ground. The sides may be of heavy wire netting instead of boards, but in that case the top would need to be netted or the ani- mals would climb out. Pens may be built economically in groups of four or more. The floor of the pen should be the bare ground. Boxes about two and one-half by one and one-half feet in size should be provided for nests and should have hinged lids so as to allow their be- ing opened and examined. The boxes may be outside the pens, bolted to the fence with a hole in the fence and box to admit the mink.—Farm and Home. Turnips a Valuable Feed. While an analysis does not find them rich in solid elements, their value lies in their appetizing and regulating properties. They furnish green substance for winter feeding, regulate the digestive organs and keep the stock in the best of health. In feeding cows the trouble of which so many complain, namely, “tainted milk,” has not been expe- rienced. The turnips are cut up, so as not to choke the cow, and fed only as a part of the regular ration. Avoid feeding in excess and “treating” the cows at odd times. Turnips may be profitably substi- tuted for mueh high-priced grain. In feeding sheep turnips are of especial value. They furnish the bulk and succulence so essential. For hogs and poultry cooked turn- ips are relished much more. The slop is thickened with bran or shorts. To poultry it is fed as a warm mash in the evening and results are very good. Sometimes I cut a few turnips in two and throw them into the runs. Turnips are very good for young pigs, mromoting growth and produc- ing bone. They are also very good for brood sows and may constitute at least half of the ration. After far- rowing they are fed in reduced quan- tities and seem to induce milk pro- duction.—Farm and Home.

The teacher asked: “When did Moses live " After the silence had become pain- ful she ordered: “Open your Old Tes- tament. What does it say there?” A boy answered: “Moses, 4000.” “Now,” said the teacher, “why didn’t you know when Moges lived?” “Well,” replied the boy, “I thought it was his telephone number.” MINNEAPOLIS LADY BADLY SCALDED WHILE COOKING. While preparing a dinner a young Minneapolis wife had the misfortune to scald her hand so badly that over half the skin came off. She was alone at the time and rushed over to her neighbor’s for help This neighbor promptly applied Aallen’s Ulcerine Salve and in ten days the hand‘ was ~ompletely healed without a scar. This salve is one of the oldest rem- zdies in America and since 1869 it has been known as the only. salve powerful enough to cure chronic ui- cers and old sores of long standing. Because it is so powerful, it will heal burns and scalds without a scar in a remarkably short time. Allen’s Ulcerine Salve heals from the bottom up and draws out the poisons. If applied on new cuts and sores it heals in one-third the time that common salves and liniments take. Sold at Barker’s drug store.— Adv. WINTER CARE OF THE BABY. Don’t let any person, especially if he or she has a cold fondle the baby, for a cold may be infectious- and transferred to the child. Don’t let a stranger kiss the baby, as he or she may have a disease eas- ily transmitted to the child. Keep the baby warm and dry. Give it plenty of fresh air and sunlight. Don’t dress the baby too warmly. If it has too much clothing on it will perspire and the danger of its taking cold is greatly increased. Guard against sudden changes in tempera- ture. Healthy children should have plen- ty of fresh milk. Never give the baby a sip of beer, tea or coffee. Keep the baby’s clothing loose at all times and let it kick. Give the baby plenty of nourish- ment. If it does not gain in weight each week, there is something wrong and a doctor should be consulted. “Frequent warm baths at night are necessary.” Dr. Yeager advises. “This keeps the skin clean and the pores active, that they may carry off the poisonous matter. After the warm bath, the baby should be placed in a warm bed and allowed to sleep. The room should be airy, well ventilated | and dry.” —Health Talk No. 22, | A clerk had showed some forty 1ult—" terns of gingham to a man whose| wife, had sent him to buy some for! 3 {her for Christmas, and at every pat-| tern the man said: “My wife said she didn’t want anything like that.”| The clerk put the last piece back | | i $1.00 of Your Yearly Payment on the shelf, “8ir,” he said, “You don't \vzml} gingham.
