SRANCHES IN ALL THE PRIN(EAEEIB " ;9 b VALUE GIVING SAL fear that a minimum wage “for f| girls working in factories and mer- cantile’ establishments, if made*too high, will mean the dismissal of in- efficient workers, is troubling the Duluth advisory committee, working to establish a wage scale in that city. Employers assert that many of their employes cannot earn more wages ‘than the present scale calls . for. | Figures which:have been pre- sented indicate that the minimum wage will be approximately $9 a week. It is asserted that if em- ployers are required to pay this amount, they will be obliged to dis- charge girls whose services are not worth such an amount. Walter J. Smith, state treasurer, has prepared a table showing the present status of Minnesota’s per- manent school fund. The total amount of interest-bearing securi- ties in the custody of the treasurer and belonging to the permanent trust funds are as follows: July 1, 1912 ....... $19,180,787.96 July 1, 1913 ....... 20,267,445.47 July 1, 1914 ..i.... 21,931.182.13 The state also owns about $11,- 000,000 in land contracts with vary- ing perioas to run. All deferred payments bear 4 per cent interest. Most of the total income from all trust furds, about $1,320,000, is dis- tributed among the schools. It is estimated by the state aunditor that this fund will reach the $200,000,- 000 mark within fifty years because of the ore properties owned by the state.

Claxton, United States com- missioner of education. ‘““You may talk about your round tables and your schools and your syStems,” Commissioner Claxton also said, “but if there were no chalk and brushes I think we could still get along. The child that is raised in the environment of brick walls and paved streets and noises will not de- velop as the child which is taken in- to the open air, out among the flow- ers and the animals. The most im- portant years of ome's life from infancy up to 4. It is the time when kindergartens take charge. It’s the time when the child should be shown the things out of doors and given its first impressions of this great world of ours.” The Evidence Is Supplied by Local Testimony. 1f the reader wants stronger proof than the following statement and ex- perience of a resident of Bemidji, what can it be? Mrs. D. G. Miller, 313 1-2 Second St., Bemidji, Minn., says: “I have used Doan’s Kidney Pills off and on for the past four or five years when- ever I have had trouble from my back or kidneys. . I don’t know what brought on the complaint unless it was hard work. I had backache and dull pains across my loins and I was bothered day and night. 1 also had a tired, languid feeling that robbed me of energy and I was caused an- noyance by the kidney secretions. I heard about Doan’s Kidney Pills and as they were highly recommended for kidney and bladder complaints, I got a box at Barker’s Drug Store. They quickly relieved me of the! comes pain in my back and toned up my || kidneys. I am a poor hand to take| medicine, but when I feel signs of | gin with Doan’s Kidney they do good work.” Price 50c, at all deglers. Don’t| simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that Mrs. Miller had. Foster-Milburn Co., Props., Buffalo, N. Y. —Adv.
