THIS PAPER REPRESENTED FOR FOREIGN ADVERTISING BY THE GENERAL OFFICES MEW YORK AND CHICAGO CeA M RTY TRIE DRINAIDAT CITIFE The State Press And. The Next Legislature The'state press has taken up the issue of economy and efficiency in atate affairs with alert and vigorous promptness. Most of the papers have talked about it, published editorials from the Herald and other papers about it, and even have said nice things about the Herald for starting it. That’s pleasant. We won’t pretend that we don’t like it, and we are properly grateful. But let’s forget that part of it, and remember that the thing to do s not to let it go at a one-issue con- demnation of waste and extrava- gance in state affairs, but to KEEP POUNDING IT; to keep reminding the people of it; to keep insisting that legislative candidates must be pledged to reform and that only those candidates be elected to the next legislature who are manifestly sincere in their pledges and mani- festly qualified by character and ex- perience to carry them out. There is a big task before the next legislature, and performing it calls for the best intelligence and capa- city the state can produce. Steps toward economy are not un- attended with danger. A legislature of smallminded men pledged to econ- omy might easily prove penny wise and poungd foolish and, like an win- skillfull surgeon, cut into tho-viii's in an attempt to remove the ~rowth that is injuring health and curtail- ing efficiency. There is true economy and false. The state can save thousands and still get better results by wise ec- onomy; it might save tens of thou- sands and lose hundreds of thou- sands by false economy. Therefore, the best the state has got is none too good for the next|’ legislature. i What we should like to see is every newspaper in Minnesota urg- ing that the best men in each com- munity become candidates for the legislature, and then urging that the best in the field of candidates be elected. Then we should have a wise and tonstructive body of men that would give the state a business-like read- justment in the interest of that kind of economy which makes for greater “efficiency. The state press can do. a great work for Minnesota in the selection ~of the next legislature, and we be- lieve that it will. Indeed, it is doing it now—if it will only keep it up.—e Herald.

The maiden lady of uncertuin age be- came very indignant when the census taker asked her age. “Did you see the girls next door?” she asked—*the Hill'twin: “Certainly,” replied the ccnsus man. *“And did they tell you their age?” “Yes.” “Well,” she snapped as she. shut the door in his face, “I'm just as old as they are.” *Oh, very well!” said the census man to himself, and he wrote down in his book: Jane Johnson, as old as the Hills. A Poetic Match. 8. B. Kiser, the Chicago puet, wrote a poem, and Bandmaster Inues set it to music, and between them they won the thousand dollar prize offered by ‘West Virginia for a state ode. Wilbur D. Nesbit, another Chicago poet, was riding out toward Evanston one night with Kiser and joshing Kiser about winning half a thousaud dollars with a set of rimes like those, and Kiser proclaimed himself a natural born winner. “You can’t beat me,” said Kiser. “I’'m a natural born one; bhut, just to show you I'm not unduly puffed up. I'll match you to see who pays the car fare for everybody who gets on this car between this spot and your home street.” They matched.' and Nesbit lost. It was late. Few people. were about. The car préceeded for blocks, and no- body got aboard. “You may be a natural born win- per,” said Nesbit, “but you won't stick me much on this proposition.” The car then stopped at a corner where there was a Swedish Lutheran church, and forty-two men and wo- men who had been attending a prayer meeting got aboard. Nesbit is now trying to coax Kiser to write the Swe- dish national ode, guarantceing to get it accepted if Kiser will give him a commission of $2.10.—Saturday Even- ing Post.

SKIN ERUPTIONS |Evidence Of Impure Blood and A Run-Down Condition ‘When the blood becomes thin, poor, devitalized nature cries out through such external evidence - for help, and the safest, surest and most helpful remedy we know is Vinol. This is because it is a combina- tion of the two most world faméd tonics—the medicinal curative ele- ments of cod liver oil (without the oil) and tonic iron for the blood, Vi- nol strengthens the digestive or- gans, creates a nearty appetite, purifies and enrichés the blood, |creates strength. 4 Mrs. Helen Wingate, St. Louis, Mo., says: “I was in very poor health nervous and run-down, and nothing in the way of medicine did me any good until my druggist recommend- ed Vinol. It built up my health, re- stored strength and I feel that I owe 'my life to Vinol. I cannot praise it ‘too highly.” We say positively there is noth- ing like Vinol to purify and enrich the blood and build up weak, run- down people.
