Under provis- ions of the bill, the commission is not to seek individual direction of the | operation of any public utility but s to act only as a court of appeal to which complaints may be taken. Every public utility in every city, town or village of the state will be required to conform to orders from the commission. Other states in the union have these boards and their success in regulating public utilities prompts Minnesota to seek such power, too.

INSURANCE AGAINST FEVER At the last quarterly meeting of the Minnesota state board of health, it was decided that the board would furnish free typhoid prophylactic for use by all the physicians throughout the state, who will agree to keep statiatical records of its use and re- port same to the board. . This is an insurance against one of the most deadly ‘and most dreaded diseases with -which medical sclence has to combat, The typhoid prophylactic is a cul- ture of typhoid bacilli suspended in a salt solution and killed by heat. It has been used, so far, chiefly in the armies of America, Germany, Japan and in the ‘English army in Egypt, Cyprus, Malta, Gibraltar, and South Africa, and has marvelously protected the soldiers from disease. At the end of the year 1911, only 3,000 out of a total of 55,680 soldiers in America fvere unvaccinated against typhold féver. x)uflm; that year 1orty-nve caes of typhoid fever were reported, forty-three océurring améng the 3,000 unvaccinated troops and two in the vaccinated.

The contrast between this camp and the one at Jacksonville, Fla., in 1898, when 10,000 troops were assembled, is most marked. In the, latter, there were 2,693 cases'of typhDid fever and 248 deaths.

CHILDREN ARE REAL POETS Descriptions of Ordinary Things Show Imaginative Fancy That Does Not 8urvive the Years. Children are born with a taste for knowledge. They want to know, and they want to know the right things. They ask questions, and are not easily satisfied. They are fond of imitating ‘what they see around them. They are highly imaginative. They clothe their | ideas In concrete forms. There was a time when they were regarded as im- mature adults; we have learned that the main alm of a teacher must be to give the right tone to the feelings— goodness in the abstract 1s of Iittle avail; the imagination must be stirred. ‘We are accustomed to believe that there is little reflection on the part of children and yet one cannot but see now and again gleams of thought ‘Which suggest a hidden mental power working almost unconmsciously. The little girl who “gathered sunlight in her hands and put it on her face” knew something of the effects of heat. And how full of humor are some of the sayings of children. It was Punch, we belleve, who depicted Tommy, aft. | er he had been severely corrected‘| as ‘exclaiming: “L fink I'll go back to| heaven, where I came from.” And what a fund of suggestion was® con- veyed by the little girl who, on hear ing a running tap, said ‘that “the Wa- ter was coughing!™ The poetry of life is frequently seen An childhood. We have this illustrated in the description of - buttérflies as | “pansies flylng.”” = “A star is a cinder from' God’s great star” has a wealth of unconecious meaning. But per thaps the finest approach to poetry was made by a tiny tot who defined few as ‘“the grass crying” Oh, auntie!” said the little girl, “I've just seen a pencil walking.” The nurse, ‘who had grown out of fairyland, ex- iplained that it was only an ordinary ‘worm.

It is the holy month of Ramidan in Conlunu::ople By reason of the declaration In the Koran “that the number of the months is twelve (lunar months), as it was ordained by Al- lah,” in the course . of thirty-three years Ramidan makes the entire cir cuit of the seasons. It was on the 15th of the holy month of Ramidan that the first chapter of the Koran ‘was delivered to men. On that day the sultan. goes to the “Chamber of the Sacred Mantle.” This mantle was worn by the prophet and on this day 1t and other relics of the prophet are brought out to public view. Other relics are banners which once hung batore the, tent of his favorite wite Ayesha, and the prophet’s beard, which 18 more potent in strength than the hair of Samson, and invigorates all who may touch it; a tooth which Mohammed had knocked from his jaw when struck by a stone from a sling in battle, and a chunk of lime with a footprint in it made by the prophet when he sprung from it to the back Iof his magic steed, Al Borak, “the lightning.” It was upon this animal | that Mohammed visited Jerusalem | and the. seven heavens from which; information.

And all of them left the arema muttering . to . themselves these words: ‘That big fellow will do. . He’s the best we have yet seen.” Among the mutterers’ was Eddle Santry, former featherweight cham- plon, and referee of the fight. Santry paid the following tribute to Willard's fistic abilities: “He’s about the best there is right now, though still green. I was in the ring and right cloge to the men all the/time and will say that Willard hits harder than any heavyweight in the game today. -Fitzsimmons, when his hands were good, could not hit with more pile-driving force than this fei- low.

A London story {lluminates the .ca- reer of Horace Hamfat, an actor. Rich today, he was poor and a failure up to the age of forty. His life, up to that age, passed in the provinces on two or three quid a week. One Sat- urday in Manchester Horace Hamfat’s show went up, the manager fled, and Horace for. three days lived on bread and dripping. - Then-a letter came to him from a London admirer, inclosing ten pounds. The admirer forwarded also an item from a theatrical page that Horace Hamfat himself had writ- ten—“Horace Hamfat is starring in Manchester.” But the typesetter had made this item' read, truly emough: “Horace Hamfat is lurvln( in Man- chester!” Thanks to the Cartoonist. Party emblems that figure on bal lots represent the more serious pur- poses and-type the traditions of vari- ous political followings; but the em- blems that the cartoonists and humor- Ists have established are the more popular, because they represent that cheerful mood in which a majority of persons attack politics without aban- dening the earnest aim that underlies its manifestations.—Judge.
