Making a customer feel that his business is being appreciated is one of the best ways in the world to secure it permanently. The greater your knowledge, the greater the marketable value of your services. And when you make your abilities of top marketable values nothing can stand between you and success, for employers will have good men around them at-any cost, What a wide difference there is between some advertisers and others, some are bright, bouyant and snappy, always eager to learn. They make friends and always have an immense advantage over the sullen busy man who knows it all and never has time to see you. Such a manis bound to restore his ill.gotten gains to its rightful owner, but if this be impossible, then works of charity to‘the needy and the afflicted poor might atone. But sure we are that no man who fails to do either one of these two things, when his wealth is illegitimately obtained. If it be i~ possible to restore these gains to the individual owners, then they should be restored to the people at large, by establishing orphan asylums, hospitals, homes of refuge for the homeless and the afflicted ones, Perhaps after all J. D. Rockefeller and his tribe are attempting to make restitution, A strict justice obliges us to-do this. Justice first of all, then charity. WHY CHURCHES SHOULD ADVERTISE. Clergymen of all denominations are pretty well agreed - that religion ought to be carried - into - business, but few of them realize that the rule miy be profitably worked both ‘ways by carrying business methods into religion. There is a remedy for church stagnation and the dwindling - atten- dance at Sunday school that ‘lought tobe more generally applied. News- paper advertisiog—not the ‘“‘cut- and-dried” formal kind so familiar to the public, but original appeal of the attention-compelling ~sort — has Sunday sch ol work wherever “it has been fairly tried. It has been suc- cessfully demonstrated in several of the larger cities that originality in church advertising pays, and that originality is not at all synomymous with sensationalism. ILL-GOTTEN WEALTH. Inthese days when we hear so much about predatory wealth too much cannot be said as to our right relation to this commodity, known amongst us as filthy lucre. It is every man’s duty to get as big a slice of thisworld’s goods, as he possibly can. Legitimate wealth is every man’s right. No man has a right to be poor if he’s had a chance to be rich. The trouble with wus is we’ve never had the chance. But what shall we say of the man who -h»s -accumulated wealth by unjust means; who has unjustly received the goods of another; who by the oppression of the poor, has taken advantage of their helpless condition, resorting to means which may be characterized by Godless men as smart business operations, which after all in the eyesof God and man are scrupulously unjust? THE BEMIDJI CONFERENCE. Duluth-and St. Louis county will be fully represented at the conference of Northern Minnesota interests at Bemidji next week. Other counties are showing proper interest, and it is to be hoped that every county and every community in every county of Northern Minnesota will be repre- sented there by its most aggressive and most public spirited citizens. Northern Minnesota’s need is great—almost as great as the state’s neglect of that need. The inertia of neglect can be overcome, and aggressive and effective action set afoot, only by an organization such as that which can be made at Bemidji. Nor should it be forgotten there that as the reason of the state’s neglect is Northern Minnesota’s grossly unfair representation in the legislatare, the first and most im- portant step is reapportionment.— Duluth Herald. IN NATIONAL HALL OF FAME Mississippian Proposes to Offer Statue of Jefferson Davis. Jackson, Miss., Feb. 11.—Senator Anderson introduced a concurrent res- olution in the senate calling attention to the fact that some persons in the North who do not know the war is over have protested against placing the statue of General Robert E. Lee in the hall of fame and serving notice that Mississippi is going to offer one of Jefferson Davis, expecting similar objections. The resolution declares that Missis- sippi has laid aside sectional feeling and would let the dead past bury its dead, but pledges the state forever to let the niche representing Mississippi remain vacant unless the statue of Jefferson Davis is accepted. The res- olution was referred to the committee on federal relations. Six Ragpickers Near Death. Chicago, Feb. 11.—Six ragpickers, lying asleep amid an immense pile of the rags that they had gathered, were rescued from death by firemen. One of the men had gone to sleep smoking a pipe and the burning tobacco falling among the clothes evidently caused it to smoulder until the rags burst into HANDICAPPED This is the Case With Many Bemidj! People. Too many Bemidji citizens are handicapped with a bad back. The unceasing pain causes constant misery, making work a burden and stooping or lifting an impossibility. The back aches at night, preventing refreshing rest and in the morning is stiff 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 Store and felt better in every way after using them.” . For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents.

PLATT NACHINE NUST 60 § Chief Executive, Governor Hughesand | Other Leaders to Consider Reorgan-‘ lzation of the -Republican Party in || New York State—New Chairman to 8Succeed Timothy Woodruff to Be Decided On. New York, Feb. 11.—A radical reor- ganization of the Republican party in this state is to take place at once. Preliminary steps will be taken Sat- urday afternoon, when President Taft, Governor Hughes, State Chairman Timothy L. Woodruff-and all of the big state leaders that can reach here will meet in the home of Lloyd C. Griscom, recently elected head of the New York county committee on the demand of President Taft. 1t is reported on high authority that Griscom has the promise of Governor Hughes to attend the conference. Governor Hughes will not be a can- didate for re-election as his own suc- cessor. He says he is too poor. But he will be asked to suggest the man he thinks best suited to reorganize the party and become its candidate next fall. Having disposed of the Ohio situa- tion President Taft now has his atten- tion directed to New York state. In- dependent party men declare that he realizes more than any one else that the old line Platt machine is doomed and that if the Republican party is to be successful this fall there must be & new deal and the policies that are endorsed by Governor Hughes must be endorsed at least in part. } At the conference on Saturday it is expected a new Republican state chair- man, one who has never interfered with any faction in the Republican party in the state, will be decided on and that it will be agreed just when ‘Woodruff will step down and out. WRECK ON NORTHERN PACIFIC Passengers Miraculously Escape Seri- ous Injury. Butte, Mont., Feb. 10.—Train No. 4, known as the Chicago express, was wrecked five miles east of Heron en the Northern Pacific railroad. The entire train, with the exception of the engine and two rear sleepers, was ditched. The wreck was caused by spreading rails. After leaving the track the train ran on the ties for 500 feet. The forward tourist car, follow- ing the day coach; plowed into the side of a high bank after loaving ite truck and was completely wrecked. The second tourist sleeper turned over, as did also the dining car. The train was traveling at the rate of forty miles an hour and it was mi-| raculous that no one was seriously fa- Jured. It took two wrecking crews nearly twelve hours to clear up the wreck. ABOLISH PERSONAL TAXES Recommendation of Mayor Gaynor of New York. New York, Feb. 10.—Mayor Gaynor would abolish personal taxes in New York state. He has reached this de- cision in view of the many complaints from persons who have been errone- ously assessed for personal taxation. In a letter the mayor said hebe- llevéd a majority of the people of the state would like to see the personal tax done away with. He suggests pub- lc hearings on the subject, with a view to remedial legislation. The value of personal estates in New York city last year, after swearing off had been completed, was $225,000,000. FIRE DESTROYS DRESSED MEATS Blaze at Boston Causes Dam- age of Half Million Boston, Feb. 10.—Boston’s beef sup- ply ‘was nearly. “cornered” by a. fire which destroyed approximately half a million dollars’ worth of property at the Brighton stock yards. The fire is thought to have originat. ed in the engineroom of the New Eng- land Rendering company’s building; connected with the Brighton abattoir welfare of its citizens.

R, (Ted) Getchell, Say Roads Favor the East. Chicago, Feb. 11.—Charges filed with the interstate commerce commis- sion by forty-one business concerns in Red Wing, Minn,, that they are being discriminated against by the railroads in the freight rates from Eastern cities, were the basis of a hearing here by G. N. Brown, special examiner for the commission. m-— A .m0 THEY GROW HAIA Cerlain Ingredients, if Properly -Com- bined, Stimulate Huncn Hair Growth. Resorcin is one of the most effective gérm destroyers ever dis- covered, Beta-naphthol is a‘most powerful, yet absolutely safe ger- micide and antiseptic, which pre- vents development of germ matter, || and creates a clean, healthy condi- tion, E Pilocarpine, although not acol- oring matter or dye, isan ingredient well established for its power to restore natural color to human hair. Borax, because of its well-de- fined softening and cleansing prop- erties, is most useful in the treat- ment of'scalp and hair diseases. Glycerine acts as a stimulant to the hair bulbs, -and has a soothing, healing and nourishing influence. Alcohol is indispensable in medi- cine because of its antiseptic, stim- ulating and preservative ‘qualities. Rexall «g3” .Hair .Tonic is chifley composed of .these ingredi- ents, which are compounded in.a peculiar form, and we believe it is the moste ffective remedy known to medical science for ‘scalp and hair troubles generally, We personally guarantee it to- eradicate dandruff and scalp irritations-and to grow hair; even though the scalp in spots 1s bare of hair, providing of course there is life and vitality remaining in the hair roots, The blaze spread to the cattleshed of the Boston Packing company with- in a few minutes and threatened for a time to wipe out the entire plant, which covers nearly twenty acres. By hard work the firemen succeeded in confining the flames to the building of the rendering company and the cat- tleshed. Hundreds of cattle and other stock ‘were saved from' death only by being turned loose in the streets. More than 250,000 pounds of dressed beef, hogs and other meats were de- stroyed. Mikl Guilty of Murder. Grand Forks, N. D, Feb. 10.—In the Mikl murder trial, which has been on all week at Grafton, the jury was charged by Judge Kneeshaw and re- turned a verdict four hours later, find- ing Mikl guilty of murder in the sec ond degree. 8enate Honors Peary. ‘Washington, Feb. 10.—A bill making Commander Robert E. Peary, U. 8. N., discoverer of the North pole, a rear admiral, was passed by the senate. In®| dications ‘are that the measure will -lo receive the approval of the house. We want every one troubled with scalp disease, dandruff or loss of hair to try Rexall ‘93" Hair Tonic.

It haseffected most sat- isfactory results in 93 out of 100 cases where put to a practical test.
