MISS DORA HAYDEN. “Without hesitation I write to thank you for the great relief I have found tn your valuable medicine, Peruna, and will call the attention of ail my friends suffering with catarrh to that fact. Be- sides I cheerfully recommend it to all suf- fering with catarrh in any form: — 4iss Dora Hayden, 819 6th St., S. W., Washington, D. C. A Case of Spring Catarrh. Mrs. N. P. Lawler, 42334 N.Broadway, Pittsburg, Kas., writes: ‘Last spring I caught a severe cold, which developed into a serious case of catarrh. I felt weak and sick, and could neither eat nor sleep well. *‘A member of our club who had been cured of catarrh through the use of Pe- runa advised me to try it, and I did so atonce. I expected help, but nothing like the wonderful change for the better 1 observed almost as soon as I started taking it. In three days I felt much better, and within two weeks I was in fine health. Peruna is a wonderful medicine.” Out West. “Why can’t I get my number?” de- manded the man. “Line’s busy,” replied the telephone girl. “I don’t believe it.” “It’s so, just the same.

A remarkable catch of fish was made here recently. While work- men were jbusy cleaning out an old ditch that had been abandoned for five years they came upon an old jug. In the jug was a two-pound fish that was as lively as if just taken from the river. It is supposed that it entered the jug when it was a minnow. The neck of the jug was much smaller than the fish.

Entire Insurance Reform Prozram Placed on Statute Books —Fublic Ownership Law Passed—State Board of Immigration Established. 4 The dirty-fifth legislature of Min- aesota has passed into history and its deeds are before the people for their judgment. Much of importance has been accomplished. No Minnesota leg- islature has ever undertaken to do so many things. Few have equaled it in performance. Railroad, insurance and taxation matters occupied the most prominent place in the attention of the members. Much of lasting benefit to the state is expected to result from the legislation enacted along these lines. A list of about thirty measures can be cited that compares in significance and importance with any state legisla- tion in recent years. : Summary of the Work. Briefly summarized the important things accomplished are: Reduced rates on grain, coal, lumber and live stock an average of 10 per cent. Established 2 cents a mile as a max- imum passenger rate. Abolished railroad passes. Passed a reciprocal demurrage law. Provided for a separate girls’ train- ing school. Created a permanent tax commis- sion. Passed a law for a registry tax on mortgages. Taxed gross earnings of freight tine companies. Abolished private banks. Passed the entire insurance reform program, also codes for fraternal and assessment life associations. Raised pay of members of legisla- ture to $500 a year. Raised supreme court judges to $7,- 000 and district judges to $4,200 a year. Raised governor’s salary to $7,000 a year, Participated in agreement for reduc- tion of express rates 25 per cent. Authorized manufacture of harves- ter machinery at state prison. Provided a hospital building for the criminal insane. Created a state hospital farm for in- ebriates, to be built and supported out of liquor license fees. Resubmitted wide open tax amend- ment. ¥ Divided $40,000 among the counties, to be spent on roads and bridges. Provided for extension of state uni- versity grounds. Passed a new and stringent child la- bor law. Created commission to acquire more land for capitol grounds. Abolished fraternities in schools. Authorized bond issue to acquire Minneapolis gas plant. Passed new code of drainage laws, and doubled provision for state drain- age work. Created bureau. Turned Itasca park over to the state forestry board and university school of forestry. Passed a “Mueller law” for acquire- ment of public utilities by cities. Passed a law to prohibit cut-throat competition in sale of petroleum pro- ducts. Passed a law to expedite enforce- ment of the railroad commission’s orders. Re-elected Knute States senator. Investigated the coal, lumber and grain trades, the railroad business, ex- press rates, state land and timber holdings, iron ore taxation, the Great Northern ore deal, delays in publish- ing supreme court reports, finances of the state university, the state fair, complaints against management of in- sane hospitals, and the Minnesota Shippers’ and Receivers’ association. Railroad Rates. The 2-cent passenger fare bill pro- vides that after May 1 no railroad do- ing business in Minnesota shall charge a passenger fare of more than 2 cents a mile. The bill provides that any agent of a railroad company who shall demand more than 2 cents a mile will be guilty of felony and subject to pun- ishment by imprisonment and a fine not exceeding $5,000. The commodity rate bill provides for an average reduction of 10 per cent in the freight rates within the state. The law contains a penal clause like the passenger fare bill. Already the rail- roads have indicated their acceptance of both the freight law and the pas- senger fare law. Must Pay Share of Taxes. The private car companies and the sleeping car companies have long been escaping the payment of their share of high a’ legislative reference Nelson United taxes in Minnesota—the former abso- lutely not having been obliged to pay a cent, while the latter have paid a very small proportion of their share of the just burdens. At this session a bill has been passed requiring the private car companies to certify once a year the amount of the gross receipts on business done in this state, and the auditor is instructed to draw on the different companies for 4 per cent of their gross earnings each year. A heavy penalty clause is attached. The tax on sleeping car companies has been raised, so that instead of receiv- ing from $1,000 to $2,000, as has been previously the case, the state will re- ceive from $8,000 to $35,000 annually from this source. In Farmers’ Interest. . Legislation for the great agrarian masses of the state is seen in the law authorizing the board of control to con- struct and operate a factory for the manufacture of binders and mowers in connection with the prison at Still- water. A machinery trust exists, and it is believed that the prices are exor- bitant and that, as far as Minnesota is concerned, if harvesting and other farm machinery can be manufactured at Stillwater, the board of control may at once install a plant and give to the farmers of Minnesota another such a boon as has been given in the binding twine plant in that institution. The board is empowered, after marking the proper investigation, and finding that a plant can be successfully con- ducted, to proceed with the work of in- stallation and operation of the plant. Important Revenue Law. A revenue measure of vast impor- tance to the people of the state is the registry tax law, enacted by the pres- ent session. Heretofore mortgages have been taxed where they have been held by residents of the county where- in the mortgage was filed, and this was discrimination against the local resi- dents and in favor of the non-resident, who could not be reached under the old system. Under the new system the only tax will be on the registration of the mortgage, 50 cents on each $1,000 contained in the mortgage, and to be paid only once. The money so derived is'to be turned into the county treasury, and the state is to receive a certain proportion of the same. It is estimated that the latter will amount to over $500,000 annually, and the non- resident money loaner is placed on the same basis-as the resident owner. Insurance Legislation. The insurance legislation enacted by the present legislature has been com- prehensive and far-reaching; at the same time every interest has been treated with absolute fairness. Most of the measures recommended by the committee on uniform legislation have been enacted into law. For years past Minnesota has suffer- ed from the evils of tax inequality, and the effort of individuals at various ses- sions came to naught. This year a tax commission has been created, and Gov. Johnson named three commissioners, whose duty it will be to get at the vast amount of property in this state which has heretofore escaped taxation and place the same upon the assessment rolls. Again Put Up to People. The wide-open tax amendment, defi- nite and certain as to taxation of church property, is once more submit- ted to the people. Certain corporation interests have been engaged ever since the last election in proving that the amendment was not ratified by the people. These interests have been re- canvassing the vote of the state at their own expense. An immigration bureau has been es- tablished, with the governor, auditor and secretary of state as ex-officio members. Thirty thousand dollars has been appropriated to carry out the work intended under this bureau, and at last something is to be done to- wards holding out inducements for the settlement of Minnesota—of making the lands already under cultivation more valuable and of opening thou- sands of acres in the central and northern portions of the state, which are still virgin to the plow. Many Bills Handed In. Bills rolled in all winter at an un- precedented rate. The house received a total of 1,215 and the senate 916, or 2,131 in all. This was 50 per cent more than in 1905, when the total was 888 house bills and 524 senate bills, or 1,412 for both houses. The house held sessions on seventy- seven days, and the senate seventy- five. Members and employes drew pay for 106 days. ARR RRR nner IS KILLED. TOT OBEY: Tries to Put Out Fire In Pail and Is Fatally Burned. Royalton, Minn., April 26. — The 8-year-old daughter of Victor Sawdy is dead as the result of burns.

HEALTH OF WOMEN: In this nineteenth century.to keep up with the march of progress every power of woman is strained to its utmost, and the tax upon her physi- cal system is far greater than ever, In the good old-fashioned days of our grandmothers few drugs were used in medicines, They relied upon roots and herbs to cure weaknesses and disease, and their knowledge of roots and b:rbs was far greater than that o! women today. It was in this study of roots and herbs that Lydia E, Pinkham, of Lynn, Mass, di$covered and gave to the women of the wor'd aremedy more potent and efficacious than any combination of drugs. MRS.C.E.FINK Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Coinpound is an honest, tried and true remedy of unquestionable therapeutic value.

Mrs. C. E. Fink, of Carnegie, Pa., writes:—Dear Mrs. Pinkham:— “I wish every suffering woman would take Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Cor peund and write to you for advice. It has done me a world of good and what it has accomplished for me I know it will do for others.” When women are troubled with Irregularities, Displacements, Uleer- ation, Inflammation, Backache, Nervous Prostration, they should re- member there is one tried and true remedy, Lydia E, Pinkham’s Vege- table Compound.
