No. The Chiropractic and the Osteopath both aim to put in place that which isout of place, to right that which ig 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. PUBLISHED EVERY AFTERNOON. 1ONEER PUBLISHING CO. By R. W. HITCHCOCK. as second class matter. 0ficial Pap@r Village of Bem'dji SUBSCRIPTION $5 PER YEAR Impure Milk. A small subject for an editorial, apparently, yet if it is true as so frequently charged that little pure milk is sold ia the state it is a most fit subject for editorials and also for the 'serious consid- eration of the state dairy and food commission. Ithas been proven time and again that we are the victims of adulteration in almost every article of food. Every state has been compelled to enact pure food laws anda vigorous campaign of enforce- ment has in some instances re- sulted in materially bettering conditions. But except in the larger cities little success has been had.in bettering our milk supply. It is opanly charged that the milkman who does not use chemicals, saying nothing whatever of water, is the excep- tion in Minnesota and, everyone knows that complaint is general as to the quality of milk obtained. It is bad enough to obtain thin milk but to be compelled to use milk adulterated with chemicals isa very serious matter. The subject is one that deserves the undivided attention of the state dairy and food commission. The Pioneer has no knowledge of any specific violation of the law in this regard but with so much complaint there is certainly cause for investigation. Evolution of the Farmer. THE closing of the short course for farmers at the state univer- sity call attention on to the great changes which are taking place in the condition of the farmer. The work that Minnesota is doing in agriculture iscontribut- ing largely to these changes in this and other states. The work of the Minnesota school of agric- ulture is a pioneer work and is pointing the way to other states. The state’s contributions to the science of agriculture during the past few years have been most important and the farmers of Minnesota today are farming 50 per cent better than they did five years ago because of the work @f the school. The short course for farmers, given at the university each winter, attracts young and old, men and women and it is surprising to know that a consid- erable percentage of the farmers of the state have attended these short courses. At the close of the school last week the students were strongly urged to take at least one daily newspaper in order that the farming community may keep in close touch with the pro- gress with the world. The mul- tiplication of rural routes is hav- ing this very effect. Rural tele- phones, also ‘are bringing the farmer closer to his city brother. Farming as a business is in the beginnings of an evolution which will wonderfully change the face of civilization within the decade. ONE change has been effected in the primary election law.

[n fact under the present mode of voting on constitutional amendments it is almost as impossible to defeat an amendmentas it was formerly impossible to pass one. However the grand jury law ought to be o)hauged aud we believe that the house will pass the senate bill -making a grand jury unnecessary except in special cases. vmvv;vm EBlTS 1% E | COUNTRY 1 THE Lm‘x&mu Blind pigs for Wadena?

Laborers in Demand. 10,000 railroad laborers can get work by going to Minneapolis, as 600 miles of new construction work has recently been let in Minnesota, North Dakota and Montana, on roads running out of Minneapolis, which will eu able the Jaborers to be furnished with free transportation by the employment agents. There will also be several thousand men used by railroad companies on betterment work of old lines. Owing to the large number of railroads running out of Minne- apolis, that employ thonsands of men each year, it is consider- ed the greatest labor market in the United States. The employ- ment agents are finding it diffi- cult to fill their orders daily, on after the primary election has faccount of the sca.rmt.y of men in been held and excluding all who have voted at the primary from signing such petitions. The amendment is an improvement. THE fact that a great majority of the people of the state voted for the constitutional amendment making achange in the grand jury law possible is a very poor | " largument for the immediate Minneapolis.

Flannery, of 14 Custom House Place, Chicago, says: “They have no equal for Constipatio d Billiousness.” 25¢ NORTHq, WILL SPEND $5,000,000 Extension of the Soo a Big Piece of Railway Building. The contract for the extension of the Soo from Thief River Falls to Kenmare, N. D,, calls for the expenditure of $5,002,000, which probably means the largest piece of railroad work to be undertaken in the northwest this year or for several years past. The new line will run from Thief River Falls to Warren, and thence in aliost a straight line to Kenmare. The route will be between the Great Northern rail- way and the Canadian boundary, about twenty-five miles from each. It is expected that the traffic over the new line will be heavy, as this section of North Dakota is one of the most fertile and richest in the state, and crop failures are almost unknown. This will be the only main line in the district, the branch lines of the Great Northern heretofore having been the only means of transporation for this territory. There is more Catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the last few years was, sup- posed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pro- nounced it a local disease and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it ifi- curable. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional disease and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Hall’s Catarrh Cure, manufactured by the F, J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the market. Itis taken internally in doses from 10 drops to a teaspoonful. Itacts directly ton the blood and mucous surfaces of the system, They offer one- hundred dollars for any case it failed to cure. Send for circulars and testimonials. Address: F. T. CHENEY & Co..
