The occasional twinges of the disease that are felt during the warmer weather are changed to pierc- ing pains, the muscles become inflamed and swollen, the nerves get sore and excxted the bones ache, and Rheumatism, the terror of winter, takes posses- sion of the system. Then the sufferer turns to the luument bottle, the woolen clothes, the favorite plaster or some home remedy, in an effort to get relief. But Rheumatism is not a trouble that can be rubbed away. or drawn: out with a plaster; these things relieve the pain and reduce the inflammation, but do not reach the real cause of the trouble, and at the next exposure an- other attack comes on. Rheumatism is caused by a sour, acid condition of the blood. The refuse matter and bodily impurities which should be carried off through the channels of nature have been left in the system because of indigestion, weak Kidneys, torpid Liver and a general sluggish condition of the system. These impurities sour and form uric acid, which is absorbed by the blood and distributed to the different muscles, Jomts nerves and bones, causing the painful symptoms of Rheumatism. S. S. S. goes to the root of: the trouble and cures Rheumatism by cleansing the blood. It neutralizes the acids and filters them out of thé circulation and sends a stream of s s s pure, rich blood to all parts of the body. Then @ the pains cease, the inflammation subsides, the PURELY VEGETABLE. nervesare quieted, every symptom of the disease passes away, and the cure is permanent. S.S. S. is purely vegetable and does not injure the system as do those medicines con- taining Potash and other minerals.

Frequent murmurings of dis- content are heard among our merchants and complaints-of the large amount of mail order bus- iness done every month by the people. The battle cry since the’ birth of this nation has been: ‘Patronize home indu- stries” and it has been a good cry but, (unfortunately there is a but) there are two sides to every question and, to this parti- cular question, there are two The situation in this city is a peculiar one and will admit of much study. The people too, complain as well as the merchants. - Perhaps not audibly . but the complaints.and dissatisfaction ave ‘-here, else there would not be the large amount of mail order business. Let us look at the matter from a point of view which will show both sides. Kveryone 'says: “‘Bemidji is bound to!''become-a large city.” Our location is good, the climate excellent, we are fast becoming a great railroad center and the prospects are excedingly encouraging, True, but how many realize that Bemidji is al- ready alarge city? It has grown rapidly. 'Phink of it only four or five years ago. . In place of log houses and shacks, l.ok at our good sides. large. substantial, handsome brick blocks and business houses and fine residences. Our electric lights, water, schools and court house, all evidences of modern, Mind you, hustling civilization. That ex- presses it and that is the key to hustling. civilization. the situation. What forms our population? They certainly did not grow here. We are not old enough for that. They were attracted here by our our vpportunities and ad- vantages and they came from all séctions, A majority of them Bemidji is now and where push, crowd, strive and hustle were the ;' watchwords. .They are educated and intelligent; know what they want ana endeavor to get it But how are they to know where to get it?. That’s the iquestion. I want such and such thing. I used to get it at home but I dan’t believe they keep it here or at least 1 never heard of it.”” There is the solu- tion, “never heard of it here.” So they get a daily paper from one of the big cities, read the advertisements, see what they want, send the money and get it. All of that could be kept right at home. Advertise in your daily and do not generalize, but specialize. It is these little spe- Flcialties -and novelties that attract. If you have them to sell, let the buyers know. Tell them about it and tell them about somethmo from places much larger than; as they do when they find they cannot get it for then, as a rule 1 do get it somewhere. Avoid any such condition as that here. Bemidji has grown and Be- midji will grow, but it will grow faster and better if we hustle to help it. He who stands around saying it is bound to grow but does nothing to assist, will soon find that the -city has grown becomes a’ “has been’’ and won- ders how it got away from himor | when it passed him. Mr. White Reports. BECAUSE of assértions that the terms under which the Minne- sota national forest reserve worked, grave injustice was done the Indians and that the land 1n- cluded in the reserve was better suited for agricultural than for forest purposes, President Roosevelt requested J, B. Whate, of the Missouri Lumber and Mining company to investigate the following points:— 1.—In the creation of the re- serve have the Indians beéen given a square deal? 2.—Is the character of the soil and its value for the production of the timber such that the crea- tion of the reserve isitself the bestpermanent use that could be made of the land? 8.—Has the supervision of logging on the reserve by the forest service been effective, both in the avoidance ‘methods and in providing for a secoud crop? Mr. White replies affirmatiyely to each of th2se questions and terms:—'¢'bis reservejis fortun- ately locat: d on the headwaters of the Mississippi river and the government has wisely built ex- ‘tensive dams to create Teservoirs | in Lake Winnibigoshish, Cass Lake, Leech lake and other smaller lakes, to hold back the in the spfing of the year to prevent inundations and damage (0 the large farming area of the lower Mississippi. “I consider this location a most fortunate selection. as a national forest reserve to protect | the headwaters of the Missis-| sippi and to grow timber thereon and it is only to be regretted that the area cannot be greatly en- larged.” _““I visited some homestead set- waters tlements adjoining the reservoirs but saw no evidence of prosper- ous farming. Their best crop seemed to be the jack pine they were cutting and hauling to Cass | Lake.” The Duluth - News Tribune seems to think that Mr. White’s ! report is untrue and unreliable and.comments on it as follows:— “Unquestionably. the report of Mr. White has been dictated by | the forest reserve officials be- cause it grossly misstates the facts as they are known to every resident of northern Minnesota who has made any. 1nvestigation of wasteful' approyes of the dams in these| different every day.
