No. The Chiropractic and the Osteopath both aim to put in place that which is out of place, to right that which is wrong; but the Path- ology Diagnosis, Prognosis and Movements are entirely different. One of my patients, Mr. W. A. Casler, has taken both Chiropractic and Osteopoth treatments. The Chiropractic is ten times more direct in the adjustments and the results getting health ten times more thor- ough in one tenth of the time than an Osteopath would. ‘ Subsecribe for the Daily Pioneer.

Official Paper Village of Bemidii SUBSCRIPTION $5 PER YEAR A Local Rate Issue. Northern Minnesota is rich in fuel wood and were freight rates on wood reduced to a reasonable tariff this section’ of the state would be at once enormously benefitted. The rate on wood from points along the Minnesota & Interna- tional north of this city to Be- midji is three cents and from Be- midji to Grand Forks is51-2 cents, making a total of 8 1-2 per 100 pounds to get the wood to the nearest Dakota point. This makes the tariff on dry wood average close to $3 per cord, a rate so high that this section of the state is practically put out of the wood business being abso- lutely unable 10 compete with points south and south west of Bemidji. As a result of this fact the wood industry of Beltrami county lies dormant, an opportunity that should be ours is taken from us, thousands of cords of wood are every year rotting and the loss to this section of the state is enormous. An effort was made by the Business Men’s Club of Bemidji some months ago to secure a re- duction of the tariff on wood but nothing was accomplished. There are gounds for hope that if the matter is taken up again and properly presented to the rail- road ~ompanies and to the rail- way and warehouse commission such a reduction in rates maybe secured as will make the wood industry of Beltrami county a most flourishing and profitable one, New Jersey’s Thrift. The receipts of the state of New Jersey from all sources last year-were $4,320,000 and of this amount the railway and other business companies incorporated within the state paid $8,800,000 or nearly 78 per cent- Says Governor Stokes in his inaugural address, “Of the entire income of the government not one penny was contributed directly by the people.”’ Thrifty New Jersey! These being the facts the peo- ple of New Jersey are urged by their governor to be very cauti- ous how they apply the screw to corporate interests and warned not to attempt ‘“‘unsound” legis- lation. The governor devotes sev- burden of care for the tender sensibilities of corporations upon his people. Mr. W. J. Boies of 10 Wall Street, New York City has scat- tered broadcast over the country to every newspaper office in the land copies of the plea of the Governor of New Jersey and its suggestive hint of the way to runa governmentwithout paying for it. ~We wonder why. THE Minneapolis Journal ad- mits that Clapp was re-elected, but takes pains to d/eclare that there was no enthusiasm. With all the republicans and some of the democrats voting for Clapp, things must have looked a bit blue to the Journal reporters. THE Minneapolis Journal ap- pears to be Governor Johnson’s official paper. It is much wrought up over the injustice of continuing the control of the capitol until its completion in the hands of the capitol commission and evidently thinks that the rest ¥ eral thousand words tolaying this | Paints!

REPRESENTATIVE COLE’S pro- posal for the enactment of legis lation which shall result in Min- nesota’s adopting a comprehen- sive system of drainage of state lands is certainly a good one. If drainage is a good thing for the state and for its people, and a thing which it is the duty of the state to undertake, it is certainly the part of wisdom to discover just what must be done and to plan for doing it systematically. Ira BROWN who never used liquor or tobacco died the other day at his home in New York at the age of 100 years. This should be a warning to all total abstain- ers.

The cough is only a symptom of some disease, and the disease is what you should cure, then the cough will stop it- self. The most common cause of coughing is a cold. Anodynes will promptly suppress the cough and preparations containing chloroform, opium, ete., are used for that purpose, but they do not cure the cold. Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy on the other hand does not suppress the eough, but relieves it by removing from the throat and lungs the mucus which obstructed the breathing and s.]laying the irritation and tickling in the throat. It also opens the secretions and effectu- ally and permanently cures the cold as well as the cough. for sale by Barker’s Drug store. Subscribe for the Pioneer and get the news.
