Mr. Business Man are you sowing your publicity “wild oats?” Do you advertise on the “hit and miss” plan? Have you given this subject one-half the serious consideration that its importance demands? Have you been content to dismiss it with a guess? Do you think advertising . is a mere lottery, and that the ele- ment of luck predominates? Some business men are continually experimenting in advertising. They spend their appropriations on dead walls etc. They take a chance that S there may be something in it. A sane way to approach this sub- ject is to estimate how much money you can spend in publicity for the year. Settle the matter first and don’t diviate from it when “‘advertis- ing” schemes are presented to you as they surely are from week to week. Second, select your medium of publicity. Men of experience, those who have made fortunes in retail business, have confirmed their adver- tising almost exclusively to news- papers. The value of newspaper advertising is based on circulation and the class of readers, and the esteem in which the paper is held by its patrons. There is another point to be con- sidered after your medium is selected. “Shall I advertise regu- larly or spasmodically?”’ Here, again be guided by those who have successfully solved this problem. You can’t afford to stop | advertising at any season of the ! year. A man should just as quickly think of stopping his advertising in a dull time as of closing his store d== when trade is slow. It does not take people very long to forget things, and if a store stops advertising, many persons will get the idea that it has nothing special to offer, and there is little use of visiting it. BEMIDJI’S GREAT MEETING. The Northern Minnesota Develop- ment meeting is now far enough in the perspective to judge it fairly, and see something of the full portent of such an assemblage as convened there and of its results. As we look, the more the wonder grows that it was so great a success, and with this grows the credit due to Bemidji, which originated the f scheme, so satisfactorily arranged g the preliminaries and so adequately i met the demands upon its hospital- f ity and its executive ability. | In the larger measure, the benefits and effectiveness in results of the !body of men ever met in this state. meeting were in the attendance. That every delegation was surprised to see the other delegations was ap- parent. That every county, asked to send delegates, was represented little short of amazing. Each man recoznizegl the sentiment of his own community which sent him. He had hoped the same sentiment ex- isted in other towns and counties, but this hope was only confirmed in reality when he reached the meeting. Then he found that this same ear- nest determination of the single town or county was duplicated in every part of more than a half in area of this great state. It is little wonder, then, indeed was inevitable, that surprise changed to intense gratification, this to enthusiasm and in turn came a redoubled and cou- firmed zeal and earnestness. The spirit of unity, of a fighting army had possession of the organi- zation, and this again begat confi- dence. No finer nor more effective They were not animated by personal or individual motives, but for objects equally vital to every part of a great section. What they wanted they knew to be fair, just and in the end as important to the south section as to the north. That every demand of the splen- did set of resolutions will be real- ized, we confidently believe. We believe this because of the common interest which cements this unity, and it is absolutely certain that, if this unity persists, if it is not so altered by politics and special inter- ests; if it centers upon the objects named, regardless of party or poli- tics, it will win.—News Tribune. | BY THE WAY. | Never get into anything unless you see your way to get out. When a man can attract notice in no other way, he is liable to say something just shocking enough to escape the law. No woman can happily say her prayers at night unless comforted by the thought of having stirred up some man during the day. On the right road haste is un- necessary; on the wrong one it is useless. One of the joys of age is the memory of many foolish things that you avoided doing. It matters but little how much a man knows if heonly keeps still. VIRUS MAY BE IM SYSTEM Statement of African Authority Wor- ries Roosevelt’s Friends. ‘Washington, March 3.—Captain Fritz Duquesne of German East Af- rica, lion hunter and Boer war fighter, at one time considered by former President Roosevelt to head his Afri- can expedition, expressed fear here that Mr. Roosevelt and members of his party have not escaped infection from the sleeping sickness. Captain Duquesne said that the subtle poisons of the infectious African regions are in the blood of the members of the Roosevelt party, unless they miracu- lously escaped infection, and that they will manifest themselves before the party reaches Europe. “It is highly probable,” saild Cap- tain Duquesne, “that every member of the Roosevelt party now has the virus of the sleeping sickness in his veins. It may not develop until they reach Europe, or even America. The sleeping sickness sometimes is not manifested in the person for several months after the infection occurs. It is well nigh incredible that the Roose- velt party, passing through so many of the sickness zones, has escaped in- fection.” Chamberlain’s Stomach and Liver Tablets are safe, sure and reliable, and have been praised by thousands of women who have been restored to health through their gentle aid and curative properties.

Peoria, 111, March 3.—That the vote of the members of the Brotherhod of Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen will be to strike, unless the executive committee is able to negotiate an ar- bitration with the railroad managers in Chicago next week, is the opinion of the officers of the brotherhood in this city. The votes will be opened in Chicago, the result of which will be announced in that city March 7. A conference with the managers in Chicago will follow the announcement. Chamberlain’s Stomach and Liver Tablets invariably bring re- lief to women suffering from chronic constipation, headache, biliousness, dizziness, sallowness of the skin and dyspepsia.

DAMAGE FAR FROM' PAST Thousands Are Homeless or Living on the Second Floors of Their Dwellings, Traffic I1s Impeded and Business - Demoralized in Many Places—Alarming Conditions In- creased by Continued Rains. Cleveland, March 3.—Fully a thou: sand persons homeless, other thou- sands living on the second floor of their homes, traffic impeded and busi ness demoralized in many places is the situation in Ohio as a result of the recent floods. Although high wa- ter has receded somewhat in many river valleys the danger in others yet remains because of ice gorges. A bridge was washed away at De- flance. Mechanicsburg is still under water. Boats only can be used in the greater part of Warren. Water is slowly creeping up on the business section of Napoleon. The Cuyahoga has inundated Clinton and Warwick. Rain still prevails in the southern part of the state and will add to the flood in the Ohio river valley. At Zanesville several hundred families have been driven from home and the suffering is acute. Great damage con- tinues to lurk about the gorged San- dusky river at Fremont. NEW YORK TOWN INUNDATED Traffic in Streets of Herkimer Con- fined to Boats. Little Falls, N. Y., March 3.—Mo- hawk river and West Canada creek, which have inundated the streets of Herkimer, are still so deep that trans- portation is impossible except by boats. An effort will be made to blow up the ice gorge in the Mohawk. The New York Central railroad divi- sion between Utica and Albany is tem- porarily abandoned. All the New York Central trains are running on the West Shore tracks. Throughout the night Herkimer was in darkness, the gas and electric light plants being rendered useless by the flood. -People are put to the most desperate straits for drinking water. Fully a third of the houses are unin- habitable. Flood Conditions More Serious. Albany, N. Y., March 3.—The ice Jam at Van Wies point, just below this city, yielded to pressure from above, but the mass collected again near Coeymans, about twelve miles south of Albany. Flood conditions are worse than ever. Itching Eczema Washed Away Is it worth ‘25 cents to you to stop that auful, agonizing itch? Surely you will spend 25 cents on your druggist’s’ recommendation, to cool and heal and soothe that terrible itching eruption? By arrangement with the D. D, D. Laboratories of Chicago, we are able to make a special offer of a 25-cent bottle of their oil of win- tergreen compound, known as D. D, D, Prescription. Call, or write or telephone to Barker's Drug Store. We absolutely know that the itch is stopped at once by D. D. D. Prescription, and the cures all seem to be permanent. ASKS $60,000 IN DAMAGES Police Chief Accuses Club Woman of Slander. Spokane, Wash.,, March 8.—When Mrs. Helen La Reine ‘Baker, rated as the richest woman in Eastern Wash- ington, repudiated in an authorized Interview the scathing indictment of the police department of ‘Spokane by Mrs. Philip P. Stalford in a speech before members of the city council she started an insurgent movement which officers of local women’s clubs declare will result in demands for her resignation by a half dozen organiza- tions. Another factor in the battle is Chief of Police Sullivan, who, backed by Mayor Pratt, charges that-the attack on the police by the women’s clubs was inspired by the Industrial Work- ers of the World. Chief Sullivan has engaged counsel to institute six suits against Mrs. Stalford for - slander, claiming $60,000 damages. This has prompted Mrs. Mary Ark- wright Hutton, wife of a millionaire mine operator and head of the Wash- ington Equal Suffrage league, to take up the cudgel for Mrs. Stalford. Medicines that aid nature are always most successful. Cham- berlain’s Cough Remedy acts on this plan. It loosens the cough, relieves the lungs, opens the secretions and - aids nature in restoring the system to a healthy condition. Sold by Barker Drug Co. NO ONE SERIOUSLY INJURED Steel Cars and Modern Appliances Prove Their Worth. New York, March 8.—Modern rail- way appliances stalled off death under the streets of Néw York city. There was a head on collision on the Hud- son and Manhattan rallway, common- 1y known as the Hudgson' tunmel, but ‘teel cars and safety devices prevent- ed 'telescoping and ' eliminated shat: tered woodwork, sothat none of the thirty-five passengers: suffered fatal Injury. - Eighteen, however, - six of them women, were hurt so badly they ‘were removed to hospitals. The collision occurred at the Twen- ty-third street station in Manhattan when' an eastbound ‘train of two cars crashed into a string of cars. This 1s the first serious crash in the tube. OblEcT TO COST OF LIVING Four Fort Bols Indian Chiefs Carry Protest to President. Duluth, March 3.—Even the Indians are finding the cost of living too high. Four chiefs from the Fort Bois agency of the Net Lake reservation passed through Duluth on their way to ‘Washington, where they will make a formal protest to President Taft about the cost of living. Their tribes met in solemn ‘conclave last week and ap- pointed them commissioners to Wash- ington. They are accompanied by Frank Hequette, an interpreter, and have a set of resolutions which will be given to the president. Their strange garb, a combination of American dress, even to silk hats, and Indian blankets, excited the interest of the crowds on the streets. Are you freguently hoarse? Do you have that annoying tickling in your throat? Does your cough annoy* you at night, and do you raise mucus in the morning? Do you want relief? If so, take Cham- berlain’s Cough Remedy and you will be pleased. Sold by Barker Drug Co. GENERAL STRIKE SEEMS PROBABLE Philadelphia_ Traction Company Refuses o Yield, Bandit Escapes From Courtroom.
