FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 1912. THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER WORDS FROM HOME | Statements That May Be Investigat- | ed. Testimony of Bemidji Citizens. When a Bemidji citizen comes to| the fromt, telling his friends and| neighbors of his experience, you can rely on his sincerity. The statement | of peopel residing in far away places do not command your confidence. Home endorsement is the kind that| backs Doan’s Kidney Pills. Such tes-| timony is convincing. Investigation | proves it true. Below is a statement, of a Bemidji resident. No stronger| proof of merit can be had. i W. A. White 1023 Dewey Ave. Be»; midji, Minn., says: “I certainly can| recommend Doan’s Kidney Pills, for I'| know from experience that they areg a remedy of merit. I have used them | for lame back and kidney complaint| and have always received good re—i sults. I have obtained Doan’s Kid-| ney Pills from Barker’s Drug Store. | They always take away the soreness| and lameness in my back and regu- | late the action of my kidneys.” For sale by all dealers. Price 50! cents. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, New York, sole agents for the Tnit-| ed States. Remember the name—Doan’s—| and take mo other. ’ e e TRY A WANT AD LITTLE DEMAND FOR LEECHES Almost Nothing Compared With Wha? It Used to Be Only a Few Years Ago Forty years ago there were in Paris alone 10 wholesale dealers in leeches, each of whom sold between 300,000 and 400,000 leeches monthly, for which they received on an aver- age about $50 a thousand. Today there is only one dealer in the capital and he gets from six te seven francs ($1.20 to $1.40) a hun- dred. His name is Leya and he han- dles about 130,000 per month, his best market being the United States. He hag sometimes half a million in stock. In former times the Paris poor law administration purchased 80,000 francs' ($16,000) worth a year; this was in the ’30s and '40s of the 19th century; the administration now finds itself amply supplied with $40 worth | annually, The great breeding ground for French leeches was the marshes around Bordeaux. A poor peasant named Bechade was the creatgr of the industry. He rented a tract of marsh land for about $60, and this, when properly stocked with leeches, became worth $5,000. Bechade collected the leeches by buylng all the worn out horses he could get hold of and driving them into the marshes five or six times a month, especially in April, May, June, October and November. Be chade’s business flourished, and when he died he was worth 1,000,000f. After a while the French leect trade was ruined, not only on account of the great decline in the demand, but on account of the accessibility of by the improved facilities of trans other sources of supply brought about ; | port, fast trains bringing them in 8 short time from Turkey, Bohemia and Dalmatia, and to a more limited ex tent from Algeria and Russia.—Med} cal Brief. FROM AN AUSTRALIAN DIARY | Voracious Ants of All Kinds—One Specles that Evinces Fondness for Sheet Lead. About noon it got too hot for any- | thing and I took a well earned swim |in a secluded creek, amid shoals of | fish, large and small, who apparently | resented my intrusion, from the way | they came and stared at me. I found on emerging from the water that a host of blue brown ants| had taken possession of my clothes,| and | when they were shaken out they re- venged themselves by biting my bare feet in a way which was exceedingly | painful. There are thousands of ants every- {where, says a writer in the Gentle- | voman. Some of the anthills are [lhree feet high and six feet across— but except for a sharp nip at the time, } the ordinary ant's bite is not notice- | able, But if a soldier apt or a bull ant - or a green head (an ant about one and | | a half inches long, with a green head) | bites you, it is not to be forgotten, be- | cause they take quite a big piece out. | Then there are the white ants (not | | really ants, but termites), which | | cheerfully eat the inside out of the | | beams of the wooden houses, and re- ! cently have been eating the sheet lead ! on the top of the Sydney museum. The | | city fathers thought this was going a | little far, 80 now the ants are pre- | served inside the museum with sam- ples of the half consumed lead as warning to all who allow their appe- tites to run away with them. y'are. ‘picsher: but lummy, I've got to take i | what’s a sittin® in front o’ the cam- | merer, ain't 1?7—London Opinion. KEEPING CUT FLOWERS FRESH Water Must Be Changed Frequently and the Blossoms Should Be Sprinkled Every Hour.

The water used should be tepid The cooler the temperature of the apartment the better. and sprinkle the flowers thoroughly. Tie over the vase or basket tissue pa- per which has been soaked in water. | Over this tuck a newspaper. In the ! morning the flowers will be found as fair as the night previous. Roses fade sooner than almost any flowers. Heliotrope will wither and | blacken with the tenderest care. It should be nipped from a bouquet as soon as it loses freshmess. Lilies, tulips, nareissus, euphorbias, hya- cinths and all flowers with suculent | stems can be preserved several days. What's in Front.
