It is said that such food is a . good anti-fat diet. Al Kaiser, tor state treasurer is receiving the endorsement of all who have come to learn of his ability. He is a true representative of North- ern Minnesota and should be recognized in the next republican state convention.—P. R. Enterprise. Free lunches of horse flesh. Good to eat? well I guess. Ask the men who eat it. It is said that a Chicago firm bas put horse flesh on the market for the benefit of those who “set up” free lunches. This might be classed as bad business, but it has some advantages An aldermanin one of the large cities choked to death eating free lunches. Newsraper readers have learned that it pays to consult the advertis- ing columns of their home paper when they want to buy anything: There they may find where the best is sold and often can pick up bar- gains they would have missed if they had not looked over the advertise- ments. When a business man has some- thing especially attractive in quality or price he makes use of printer’s ink in these days, and it'goes. The sharp buyer knows this, and they watch the ads. The merchant knows they are watching, and that’s why he advertises.—Herald. Concerning the north Minnesota conference at Bemidji on Feb. 17-18, the Duluth Herald says: “Nor should it be forgotten at that meeting that the chief thing to be considered, and the first because without it nothing else will come, is reapportionment. Northern Minnesota must send to the next legislature a solid delegation of senators and representatives who will work for reapportionment first, last and all the time; and" who: will lay down the ultimatum that until a reapportionment bill is passed” no other measure shall become. law. In that way, and in that way only, lies northern Minnesota’s salvation.” The Brainerd Dispatch™ stated that itis unfortunate that the “Get: Together Meeting” at Bemidii is set for the same dates as the annual meeting of the State Editorial | and - feedeis, $3.00@5.35; cows and Association, viz: Feb. 17 and 18. The date of the latter is fixed by the by-laws, we believe. Can’t our Bemidji friends change their dates so that all we Northern Minnesota editors can “get together” with the rest of the rustlers at Bemidji? Don’t let the State Editorial Association keep you trom attending the “"GET TOGETHER” meeting at this city February 17 and 18. If you do what you consider of most importance to NORTHERN MIN- NESOTA on these two days, we know you'll be here, “Johnny on the spot.” | BY THE WAY. | When a man or woman talks to you about somebody else, keep your “Eye peeled” that he isn’t talking about you to someone else at the same moment. A two faced man need not necessarily have two faces. Some- times men with one face are praising your work in your presence and when your back is turned they dam both you and your work to others. We soon lose interest in things about which there is no mystery. Advertising is to a business what exercise is to the body. It is. the natural, true and healthy way to steady growth, strength and devel- opement. Judicious advertising is the only universal remedy for modern business in itself. It is the only known method of dealing in “futures” which brings large profits with little risks. Robert Spangler says “February is the month when the majority of the merchants ease up on - their advertising, and that is the month when the wise merchant “hits ’em up” and goes after more busieess.” INSURGENTS DELAY FIGHT ON RULES Inform President They Will Not Hinder Legislation. ‘Washington, Feb. 7.—President Taft was again informed by insurgent call- ers at the White House of their deter- mination to keep their fight on the rules of the house in the background pending the passage of some of the legislation the administration wants. The president was informed that the insurgents are willing to work with the regulars on this legislation on an even basis, but will not submit to be- ing dictated to by a caucus as to the course they shall pursue. “The fight over rules could very readily be removed if Speaker Cannon would announce that he would not stand for re-election to his present of- fice,” said a prominent insurgent. “The speaker will not, however, make any such announcement, in my judg- ment. The fight over the rules will be delayed six weeks or two months to give the administration a chance to pass some legislation. The logic of the situation, politically and other- wise, will then demand that Speaker Cannon be literally run over by the house in order to force much needed reforms in the rules. The insurgents will gain rather than lose strength by postponing this action. The nearer Cannonism comes to being an issue in the congressional elections the more members of the house will vote against it, in my judgment.” GRAIN AND PROVISION PRICES Minneapolis Wheat, Minneapolis, Feb. 5.—Wheat—May, $1.09%; July, $1.08%@1.09.

LARGE FORCE PROPOSED Recommendation Made That Our Fighting Machine Be Increased by Five Regiments a Year for Six Years .and That the Entire Army Be Concentrated Into Four Zones ot Defense, Doing Away With Small Garrisons. ‘Washington, Feb. 7.—The principal feature of the forthcoming special re- port of the general staff recommend- ing: a reorganization of the army and the establishment of a definite mil- itary policy having for its object “the perfection of a properly proportioned fighting machine of high efficiency” have been learned. The report will censure the present plan of scattering the army in small garrisons throughout the country and will arraign the pork barrel method of appropriations which is held by the general staff to be one of the main causes of the present inefficiency of the army. Only the explicit orders of President Taft, it was learned, pre- vented the report from going in as a part of the annual report of the sec- retary of war. The president desired that all cabinet officers cut down their estimates and, after the army esti- mates were prepared, Secretary Dick- inson made a blanket reduction of $4,000,000 in the interests of economy. The army appropriation bill went to congress Friday afternoon and it is approximately as estimated by the general staff. Changes Desired by Staff. The changes desired by the general staff will be presented to congress later in a separate bill which will be accompanied by a presidential mes- sage. Here is what the general staff ‘wants: B Five new regiments a year for six years. ‘the doing away with the various small “departments” and the concen- tration of the army into four zones of defense. The training of the national guard in these four zones together with the regular army so that a higher degree of discipline can be brought about in case it is necessary to mobilize a large army quickly at any one point on our frontiers. The elemination of the seventy-six garrisons caustically termed “hitching posts” by the general staff. A special service corps, under the command of a regimental quartermas- ter officer, to care for the large posts 80 as to permit the regular soldiers always to be with the corps and re- ceive rigid training. ON GROUND OF DESERTION Steel Trust Official Seeking Divorce at Reno, Nev. Reno, Nev., Feb. 7.—Suit for divorce on the ground of desertion was filed by James Gayley, second vice presi- dent of the United States Steel cor- poration. The complaint is one of the briefest ever filed here, containing merely the allegation of desertion, the date of the marriage and the names of the children. No mention is. made of the common property and it is therefore presumed that a satisfactory settlement has been made and that there will be no con- test on the part of the defendant, Julia Gardner Gayley. During his residence in Reno Gay- ley has lectured at the University of Nevada on. the: iron industry. He re- cently purchased a lot in the resi- dence district of Reno and is having a $25,000 building erected. GOLD AND. DIAMONDS FOUND Charge d'Affaires to Liberia Reports 3 Discovery. ‘Washington, Feb. 7.—Gold and dia- monds have been discovered in Li- beria, about thirty miles from the coast, according. to a report to this government by Charge d’Affaires George W. Ellis: of Monrovia. In his report the charge says: “The discoverer called at this con- sulate general with a quantity of the metal, which he had obtained near the settlements, together with photo- graphs showing -himself and his na- tives'at work. He also had a diamond In the rough, found in the same sec tion.” Descendant of Two Presidents. Louisville, Ky., Feb.. 7.—Mrs. Mary Elizabeth Taylor Huff, who died in this city of pneumonia at the age of sixty-six, was a descendant of two presidents, James Madison and Zach: ary Taylor. She was a granddaughter also of Commander Richard Taylor, who fought in the Revolutionary war. Many Escape in Night Clothes.

Chicago, Feb. 7.—Senator William Lorimer’s venture into the world of finance as chief organizer of a $2,000,- 000 banking institution composed of the La Salle Street Trust Company and the La Salle Street National bank was: widely discussed among politicians and bankers. . 3 Close associates of the senator said that one of his lifelong dreams has been to enter the banking business, but they were unable to conjecture as M LORIMER, to the identity of the capitalists who are backing Lorimer and Colonel Wil- liam J. Moxley, who was elected to congress from the Sixth district last November, in the new enterprise. It was rumored that the new in- stitution is to be the center of a sys- tem of smaller banks in which polit- ical and financial interests in several nearby states will figure, among them being Michigan, Indiana, Iowa, Wis- consin, Minnesota, South Dakota and Missouri, the La Salle Street National bank to be a general clearing house. Dissolves the Finnish Diet. St. Petersburg, Feb. 7.—Following the complete defeat of the pro-Russian element in the Finnish elections the czar decided to dissolve the Finnish diet immediately, preparatory to the suspension of the Finnish constitu- tion. : e THEY INJURE CHILDREN Ordinary Cathartics and Pills and Harsh Physic Cause Distressing Complaints. You cannot be over-careful in the selection of medicine for chil- dren. Onlythe very gentelest bowel medicine should ever be given, ex- cept in emergency cases, Ordi- nary pills, cathartics and purga- tives are apt to do moreharm than good. They cause griping, nausea and other distressing - after-effects and are frequently health-destroy ing and a life-lasting annoyance. We personally recommend and guarantee Rexall Orderlies as the safest and most dependable reme- dy for constipation and associate bowel disorders. We have such absolute faith in the virtues of this remedy that we sell it on our guar- antee of money back in every ine stance where it fails to give entire satisfaction, and we urge all in need of such medicine to try it at our risk, Rexall Orderlies contain an-en- tirely new ingredient which is oder- less, tasteless and colorless. As an active agent, it embraces the valuable qualities of the best known intestinal regulator tonics. Rexall Orderlies are eaten like candy. They are particularly prompt and agreeable in action, may be taken at any time, day or night; do not cause diarrheea, nausea, griping, excessive loose- mess or other undesirable effects.

Rexall Orderlies completely. re- lieve constipation, except when of a surgical character.

APPEAL OF CASE Head of Federation of Labor Says That the Thing for Which the Hat- ters Were Assessed $222,000 Dam- ages Is Recognized as Legal in Great Britain and in Nearly Every Continental Country of Europe. ‘Washington, Feb. 7.—“It is repug- nant to the very purpose of the Sher- man anti-trust law.” pers, .president of the American Fed- eration of Labor, concerning the ver- dict of $222,000 rendered by the jury in the federal court at Hartford, Conn., against the 200 hatmakers of Connec- ticut for losses alleged to have been suffered by D. E. Loewe of Danbury, Conn., during a boycott of this firm. “There is the fact,” said Gompers in a statement, “of these labor organ- izations being brought under the Sher- man anti-trust law by the interpreta- tion of the United States supreme court, the voluntary organization of the workers governing their personal rights. A labor organization is not organized for profits, nor to deal in the products of labor. It simply-un- deriakes to aid the men in the protec- tion of their personal rights. The ceurt has decided that such an organ- ization, organized not for profit but for the benefits of their personal rights and interests, comes under the Sherman anti-trust law. “It is repugnant to the very pur- poses of the law. I hope and expect that an appeal will be taken, but, after all, the injury involved is in the de- cision of the supreme court of the United States, under which the labor organizations are brought under the Sherman anti-trust law and which will have to be rectified by an act of con- gress. “The thing for which the Hatters’ union is now mulcted in damages and for which any labor organization may be mulcted, is distinctly legal in Ger- many, and so decided by its highest judicial courts, and by the trade dis- pute act passed by the British parlia- ment in1906, and is also legal in near- ly every European continental coun- try. -, “Surely what is Jegal for the work- ing people under monarchy and em- pires should not be illegal in the re- public of the United States.” CITY AGAIN NEAR NORMAL Paris Rapidly Recovering From Ef- fects of Flood. Paris, Feb. 7.—The river Seine is more than thirteen feet below its flood maximum and the city has. be- gun to assume a normal appearance. The streets are clear of water. Wreck- age left by the flood is rapidly disap- pearing. Above and below the city the waters have returned to the river -bed. Such is the opinion of Samuel Gom- |, Householders everywhere are busily engaged cleaning and drying their homes. Train service in all directions i8 being restored and some of the factories have resumed operations, thus decreasing the number of the un- employed. In many quarters the gas and elec- tric light services have been renewed, but it will be many days before the transportation facilities, telegraph, telephone and other publi¢ utilities are in complete operation. Meantime there will be ro cessation of the work of relieving the misery caused by the rampant waters. The hospitals and other places of refuge, as well as the soup kitchens,. continue crowded and the distribution of food and clothing proceeds systematically. DIES SUPPORTING PATIENT Vessel Under Strain. Long Beach, Cal, Feb. 7.—The strain of supporting a 200:pound pa- tlent, who had rolled off the operating table, burst a blood vessel in Dr. Will- jam Lawrence Woodruff’s lungs and the surgeon died soon afterward. Dr. Woodruff’s views on the simple life and Spartan methods of raising children had made his name known throughout the country. He first prac- ticed his theories on his infant .chil- dren, who thrive on coarse foods and ice baths and the wearing of only a single garment even in the coldest weather. HANDICAPPED This is the Case With Many Bemidit People. Too many -Bemidji citizens are handicapped with a bad back. The unceasing pain causes comstant misery, making work a burden and stooping or lifting an impossibility. The back aches at night, preventing refreshing rest ind in the morning is stif and lame.. Plasters and linaments may give relief but cannot reach the cause. To eliminate the pains and aches you must cure: the kidneys. Doan’s Kidney Pills cure sick kid- neys and cure them permanently. Can you doubt Bemidji evidence? Mrs. E. E. Hanks, 223 Park Ave., Bemidji, Minn.,, says: “I used Doan’s Kidney Pills and the relief I received from their use was very great. There was a dull pain in the small of my back which caused me much suffering. I became very dizzy at times and dark spots floated before my eyes. Hearing about Doan’s Kidney" Pills, I procured a box at the Owl Drug Storeand felt better in every way after using them.” For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents.
