That is why dyspeptics are always irritable. But stomach trouble can be cured in nearly all cases, even after years of suffering. Mrs. Sarah C. Ammons, Camden, S. C., says “I suffered from nervous dyspepsia for forty years and feared I should never get over it. It kept me in misery all the time. I was terribly run down, could not sleep—thought my health was ruin- ed. “Last spring I began taking Vinol and it has no equal. I soon began to improve and now I am a well wo- man again for the first time in forty years. My appetite is good, I sleep well and have no stomach trouble at 2il. These are the plain facts.” Take our word for it, when you are weak an drun down, cannot eat or sleep, Vinol is what you need for it will build you up and make. you strong. We guarantee Vinol to please—your money back if it does not. Barker’s Drug Store, Bemidji, Minn. Night Farming Coming. Eugene LaBine, a Marshall county Minnesota farmer, harvested five hundred acres of grain with one machine, working day and nigit. The binder was run with ejght horses, four to a shift, and a head- light was used at night, throwing strong light over the field ahead. The night shift of horses stood the work - mueh better- than those used Jin the heat of the day, and the farmer predicts that night farming will soon be used extensively. This shows hiow improvements are being discovered, just as golden grain belt beers solved many improvements in the making of long keeping, pure flavored malt foods. T. R. Symons, Local Agent.

IT WAS HOME OF JEFFERSON Preparations for Unvelling of Colums bus Memorial on Union Station Plaza in Washington—Rubey's Good Roads Plan. By GEORGE CLINTON. Washington.—There is a bill in con- gress providing for the purchase of Monticello, the home of Thomas Jef- ferson. The government lost the place many years ago, and the present own- er declares he does not wish to sell the property to Uncle Sam or anyone else. The wife of Representative Martin W. Littleton of New York has written much about Monticello with a view to arousing enthusiasm for its purchase. She wrote a little book called “One ‘Wish” not leng ago, and to this she Intends to add a chapter to increase the sentiment in favor of government ownership of the old Virginia resi- dence of the third president. The new chapter in Mrs. Littleton's book shows how the government once lost Monticello. It appears that Com- modore Uriah P. Levy, a descendant of Jefferson on the female side, pur chased the estate at auction following the death of the great American, and later willed the property to the United States. Relatives interposed, took the matter into court, and managed to break the will, and in this way the famous property -came into the pos- Bession of Jefferson M. Levy of New York, a nephew of Commodore Levy, end now a representative in congress from the Empire state. Will Honor Columbus’ Memory. The Knights of Columbus have been bolding a quarterly meeting in the city of Washington. They prepared to take part in the ceremonies of the unveiling of the statue of Christopher Columbus, which will stand on the plaza of the new Union station. There are to be elaborate ceremonies in Washington when the Columbus mem- orial is unveiled in a few wesks' time. The Knights of Columbus will have 25,000 men in line in full regalia, with scores of floats, elaborate and histori- cal, depicting incidents in connection with the discovery of America by the great Italian who sailed under Span- ish colors. . Other organizations, of course, will take part. The navy and the army will help in the ceremonies, and there will be an address by the N‘es(dent of the United States. Rubey’s Good Roads Bill. Representative Rubey of Missour! has introduced a bill into congress “to distribute the surplus in the treasury of the United States to the several Jterritories and the District of Columbia for the sole purpose of im- proving the roads therein.” ure introduced by Mr. Rubey makes It the duty of the secretary of the treasury at the end of each fiscal year to take an account of all the funds un- der his charge and -after deducting from the sum the amount required by law to be kept in the treasury, to declare the remainder, if any, a sur- plus for which immediate provision sball be made to distribuie tn a sum not exceeding $25,000,000 annually on e per capita basis to the states and teritories and District of Columbia for the improvement of the postal roads. There is not very much chance that the Rubey bill will become a law, even though it avolds constitutional diffi- cuities by making the money available only for roads which are used by the government for postal purposes. The Interest in good roads, however, has been spurred receatly in congress. Several different kinds of bills have been introduced, all the same end- - the improvement of the highways of the country. The rallroads seem to be interested in the improvement of the roads between the states, and this may seem to be a little curfous, be- cause naturally it would be supposed that the railroads would lose traffic if hauling conditions on the highways were improved. The railroad people, however, seem to figure it out that if the roads are good more frelght will be hauled to the stations for raflroad transportation, and that they wm’aln more than they will lose.” Moying Picture Investments. It has come to be a battle of money and brains, the theatrical managers on one side and the fllm manufacturers on the other. The former are in the position of untenability In that they are geeking a solutfon of their prob- lems, whereas the newer Interests— the moving picture men—have solved their initial problems and are now en- gaged in improving their environment and raising the standard of their of- ferings. The number of theatrical pro- ducers is now the smallest in twenty- five years, while the moving picture magnates are yearly increasing. A dozen different manufacturers have a capital of more than a milllon doMNars each. The Cines company, of Rome, has $10,000,000 invested. the Kinemg- color company has $6,000,000, and the same total is available to the Pathe Freres of Paris and New York—Re- view of Reviews.

AR RS SRR SRS AXAARXAXXAAAAARAAXKAA AR A RNk hk Kk "***‘*ii**ii*****i* ADDITION TO WORLD’S METALS Find of Extreme Value Is Credited to Recent Discovery Made In British Columbla. A new noble metal has been discov- ered in British Columbia, which is ap- parently entirely distinet from any of ihe now recognized &lements and per- haps of no small commercial ‘signific cance. The new metal now found, called by the discoverer canadium, belongs emphatically to tk> group of noble metals. It is found pure in semi-crystalline grains and in short crystalline rods, and aleo alloyed with metals customarily found in company with platinum. It is stated that quan- titics up to three ounces per tom, probably from assay values, have been found in the rock. Its physical and chemical properties ‘are interest- fng. It has & brilliant white luster, does not oxidize in the oxidizing flame of the blowpipe, melts at a littls lower temperature than silver and gold, and Is somewhat softer than platinum. j From the chemical standpoint it is electro-negative to silver, is precipi- tated from its solution by zine, and may be separated by cupellation from lead. It s easily soluble in hydro- chloric and nitric acids, is not pre- cipitated by chlorides or lodides. It does not tarnish in damp air, sulphu- retted hydrogen or alkaline sulphides. This somewhat extraordinary combi- nation of properties ralses questions of great interest as to the character and position of the new metal. Its easy solubllity separates it from the known metals which generally accom- pany platinum, and its. melting point, as stated, is at least 500 degrees C.| below ‘that of any of the platinum group. WISE SAYINGS OF CONFUCIUS | Great Chinese Teacher Worthy the High Place in-Whick-He-Is Held by His Race. Some of the sayings of Confuotus, || which are to the Chinese what the Bi. ble is to us, are: “Not to withdraw after making an error is in itself an error. “Knowledge is when you know a thing to hold that you know it; and when you do not know a thing to al- low that you do not know it. 'That 18 knowledge. “Sincerity s the end and beginning of things. “To see the right and not to do it 1s to be a coward, “Four of the marks of a superlor man are: In'the ¢onduct of himiself he is humble; in serving his superiors he 18 respectful; in nourishing the people he is kind; in ordering the peop's he is just. “The difference between the great man and the ordinary man is that the great man has a fair mind and sees all sides, and the common man h mind which is partisan and one-sided., “At a funeral it is better that there be deep sorrow than a minute _attene tion to ceremony. “Whatever the mind ‘may attainto, unless the goodness within is power ful enough to keep guard over it, assuredly lost even though it be gained. He with whom neither slander that gradually soaks in nor statements that startle llke wounds in the flesh are successful may be called intelligent indeed. Yes, the man with whom neither lalklnx slander nor #tartling statements ate successful may be osll- od far-seeing. e IF WOMEN ONLY KNEW What a Heap of Happiness it' Would | Bring to Bemidji Homes, Hard to do housework with an ach- ing ‘back.
