Members of the Post and Circle are loud in their praise of the con- duct of the Automobile club in tak- ing them to and from Greenwood yesterday. They appear especially pleased with the trip to the head of the lake taken after the ceremonies in the cemetery. It was a kind deed to take the old people out and they appreciate it. S ___wj{-_‘____‘_‘, i. A More Beautiful Bemidji. In a paper delivered before a lo- cal club last Saturday evening, H. C. Baer brought out some good sug- gestions for the improvement of Be- midji by making it a more beautiful city. Mr. Baer said in brief that: 1. The shacks and boat houses scattered along the lake shore spoil its beauty. He suggested that the boat houses be placed in a restrict- ed area from the Viking Boat com- pany to the wholesale houses, and that all boat owners be given equal privaleges on the city dock, 2. That the streets are neglected and the present method of cleaning would have been out of place in the i dark ages; that the street depart- j ment is mixed in politics too much; and that as a remedy, he would sug- gest the extension of the pavements as rapidly as possible and a new sys- tem of street cleaning. - 3. The providing of pure water is one of the most important of city functions from a health point of view., Th& city should be watching its water supply and see that sew- erage does not effect it. 4. Garbage, ashes and other re- fuse in the alleys are a menace to public health. The warnings of the city health officer should not be dis- regarded as they are at present. The alleys should be cleaned up before the hot weather makes a breeding place of every refuse heap for mil- lions of germs. 5. Bemidji has excellent facili- ties for public baths. A neat house could be erected on the bank below the library and the lake cleaned of logs and refuse. There is a natural beach at that point and the house would be about the only expense connected with the enterprise. 6. Trees should be conserved and the planting of more encouraged. Bemidji at one time was the home of giant pines. Others can be grov?n so that in twenty years the city will once again have big timber. Trees absorb many air poisons and the val- uable health preservers. 7 along | | | | { | AT 5557358 B O A B i ¥ S [ wm.__;’ S, 7. The the lake shore can be made one of the most beautiful of the state if the people living there will keep their lawns tidy and beautify them with a few flowers. Mr. Baer’s suggestions are wor- thy of the serious consideration of everyone interested in making Be- midji known as the liveliest and most beautiful city of the north country. The people living on Minnesota ave- | nue north of Seventh street have 1 shown the right attitude in planning to make boulevard of their roadway. e Others can be improved the same way. A big excursion is coming to the city Sunday over the Soo line. It may be the first of many. Bemidji can easily become known throughout the north country for its beauty if some common effort is made. Mr. drive i " Baer’s suggestions should not fall by the wayside and wither but should ‘ bear fruit. X THIS DATE IN HISTORY.

J., May 31.—In connection with the annual conven- tion of the American Medical asso- ciation a notable conference is to be held here the coming week for the discussion of health problems in modern industry and the best meth- ods for stamping out industrial dis- eases. The American Association for |- Labor Legislation will be in charge of the conference and the participat- ing bodies will include the Interna- tlonal Association of Labor Commis- sioners and the International Asso- ciation of Factory Inspectors. His Duty. “A lawyer’s first duty,” sald the stu: dent, “is to see that justice is done, isn’t it, professor?” “H'm, yes,” said the professor thoughtfully. “And it has been my ex: perience that the lawyer who does her the oftenest always gets the largest fee.” THE REASONABLE WAY Strong vigorous men, women and children hardly ever catch cold—its only when your system is run down and vitality low that colds and coughs can get a foothold. Now isn’ it reasonable that the right way to cure a cough is to build up your strength again? Mr. Patrick Wren of N. Birming- ham, Ala,, knows about this. He says, “I caught a bad cold a year ago and had a bad cought for long time, but Vinol relieved it completely and built up my health. Vinol is the best medicine I ever used or heard of for coughs and colds.” This splendid cod liver and iron remedy does not smell or taste like cod liver oil, but is so delicious that |- children love to take it. Yet it has the strengthening value of cod liver oil, with tonic, blood-building iron. Chronic bronchitis yields to Vinol because it builds up the system in all weakened and run-down conditions. | You can get ypur money back any time if Vinol does not do all we say.
