Phere Fact About the Mushroom, A wellknown botanist says that mushrooms might properly be called vegetable meat and used as a subsfi- tute for animal food. “It is doubtful, however, if this is true,’ ’says the American Medical association. “The more we learn of mushrooms, the more it becomes apparent that they are scarcely different as regards dietary virtues from the general run of the green vegetables which have, never achieved the distinction of any unique or superior nutritive properties. They belong rather to that large group of food materials which we consume for reasons quite apart from the yield of nourishment which they have to offer to the body.” Sympathy Not Called For. Married people get along much bet- ter than we think they do, though we don't see how they possibly can.”— “Commoners’ Rights,” by Constance Smedley. SAFE REMEDY ENDS CATARRH MISERIES Gives Instant Relief, Cures and Pre- vents Catarrh and Cold in the Head. The quickest, best and safest way | to cure catarrh or a cold in the head| is by using a remedy that will “touch the spot” and do its work quickly| without leaving any bad effects. Ely’s Cream Balm, which is applied to the nostrils or rubbed on the throat or| chest gets right at the root of the trouble and instantly relieves even the worst case of catarrh or cold. A| few minutes after applied you can feel a loosening up in the head, the pain and soreness are gone, the sense of taste, smell and hearing come back, and you feel like a different person. Ely’s Cream Balm cleanses, heals and strengthens the inflamed mem- branes, takes away that stuffed up| feeling and dull pain in the head, re- lieves the throat soreness and stops the nasty discharge which ds the cause of the disgusting hawking, spitting, blowing of the nose, and foul breath. Hay fever victims who are made miserable by fits of sneez- ing, coughing and wheezing get in- stant and permanent relief by the use of this simple remedy. Don’t suffer another minute. Ely’s Creame Balm will relieve you imme- diately, and a 50 cent bottle will more than likely work a complete cure. All druggists sell it.—Adv.

A paean of rejoicings has gone up in print over the verdict on the Ca- morra prisoners at Viterbo, and it is stated—rather previously, I fear—that the great secret society of Italy has been scotched. That Naples will no longer be its headquarters is proba- ble, but it is so widely spread over the whole of Italy that it can be no more Kkilled by imprisoning its Nea- politan leaders than you can kill an octopus by cutting off one of its ten- tacles. The society has local branches in every town of importance, and it adapts its methods to the status of the people whom it bleeds. = How polite the Camorrists can be a true tale of how an Englishman sub- scribed to its funds will show. The Englishman in question, a married man, took a house in one of the sea- port towns of Italy, not Naples, and brought his English furniture with him. A month or two after he had taken up residence, & very polite. Ital- ian gentleman called on him and pre- sented him with a bill for $300 for furniture bought from an Italian firm. The Englishman said that there must be some mistake, for he had bought no furniture in Italy, and his visitor then explained that the bill was the ! means by which he might subscribe to | the local branch of the Camorra, and thus obtain its protection. There was no hurry about the matter, said the polite Italian, and if the Englishman did not care to pay at once the matter might stand over for six months. The Englishman went to his consul, who referred him to the local head of the police. The local head of the po- lice, talking as an official, promised him every protection if he did not in- tend to give the money, but as a pri- vate individual, suggested to him that $300 was not very much to pay to avoid all the anxiety that was entailed by being in the blaclt books of the Ca- morra. The Englishman paid his $300 and holds the bill, duly receipted, for purely imaginary furniture, bought from a purely imaginary Italian firm. Pity the Poor Fat Person, A fat French lady despairingly says: “I am so fat that I pray for & disappointment to make me thin, but no sooner does the disappointment come than the joy at the prospect of getting thin makes me fatter than ever.” Whole Difference Is Here. “The difference between clevetness and ignorance is that the clever ones get what they want and don't waste time wanting what they can't get; and the fools ecry for the moon.”— “The Forest on the HIil,” Phillpotts. by Eden Our Guarantee Your Complete Satisfaction A Or Your Money Back ——— The_Bemidji Tar Paper Will Be Plane and Level and Treat You on the Square.
