McDonald’s Opinion Not General The opinion that the principal business of the Bemidji saloons is to separate the lumberjack from his “roll” and that the sooner it is done the better which was credited to “A."” 1. McDonald of Bemidji, in the St. Paul Pioneer Press, will not stand as the general sentiment of the other The further statement credited to him that a rou- lette wheel is the best method of do- ing the separating is equally obnox- ious. For years Bemidji has been trying to get away from this sort of a repu- tation but no sooner are the people of the cities and the southern part of the state awakened to the fact that we have a progressive city here than some misguided person tells of our thirty-four trade. saloons and lumberjack “Their business is largely that of separating the lumberjack his roll,” the Press prints as Mr. Donald’s statement. from M- Is there even a saloon man in this city who will stand back of that statement? The Pioneer believes that it is within the facts when it maintains that a majority of the people want 1f the bill does ,the number of saloons herve will the Nelson Dbill to pass. be cut to eleven or twelve. The loss in revenue will be quickly made up by higher licenses. 1t is impossible to get fewer saloons liere now for the council cannot see where the liue should be drawn in cutting the num- ber down. It is impossible to get a higher license for therc are so many ill that business that théy must go the limit and beyond to even make a profit un a $500 license. The passage of the Nelson bill will mean that Bemidji will be freed by the state from a coundition which has long been fought from the inside and which at this time is still with us. Inquiry refuses to reveal who S. J. Donaliue” may be but the statement credited to him by the Journal that “it would be impossible for the small- er cities to adjust their affairs, if the bill is passed’” is without foundation. Bemidji wants that bill passed and is thoroughly capable of caring for her- sell under its provisions. When business which would make a fair income for eleven saloous, without the unecessity of law viola- tions, is divided between thirty-four it is impossible for all the owners to make a living and stay within the strict interpretation of the law. Fur- thermore, the thirty-four are such a drain on the resources of the city that vetail credits today are in a worse shape than ever before in the history of the city. The p esent council has had op- many license and then cut the number of saloons to a point where the propor- tion would be but one to every 500 population. It has not done so and the only relief in sight appears to be the passage by the legislature of the Nelson bill. The only regrettable feature of the bill is that it will make all licenses expire as soon as their year is up un- til the last eleven are left. This might wipe out some so-called able” portunity times to raise the “respect- The council could overcome this objection, however, by refusing to grant renewals to cer- tain saloons and allow one of the bet- ter ones to resume business in its place. The worst the law could do, then, would be to keep one or two of the better class saloons out of busi- ness for a month or so. saloons. e Can You Say It? Secretary Bryan. Can you say it yet without a kind of startled sensa- tion? Two Signs of Spring. For several weeks the small boys of the city have been busy playing mrables wherever the sun has given space on the sidewalk— sometime snot even hunting for that but playing in the snow. a clear Saturday, the old crow that lives in the Diam- ond Point woods came back just as defiant as ever. Surely two signs of spring. Going Down. John D. Rockefeller, Jr., told at Leuis Tiffarry’s Egyptian fete in New York a story that conveys a lesson. The story was elicited by an account of the daily life of the modern young an who dissipates. “But where do W1 these thing lead?”” Mr. Rockefeller sald. “I know a sagacious man of af Ialrs whose daughter came to him on¢ night and said: ‘Father, dear; would rou object to my marrying a fast cung mmun? ‘Not if he’s going in the righi direction,’ was the father's wise eply,” Growth of Ostrich Breeding: Mty years ago there were only 8% tume ostriches known in all South Af- rica.

Mothers should- never forget that fervous childrenrrequire more rest than do those who are, beyond doubt, normal and healthy. Not only should nervous children sleep longer at night, but they should pe trained, if. they do not do so nat-| urally, to take a nap in the middle ot the day, or as moon after dinner as possible. People who live in cities, where the ' hoise often prevents- bables and chil dren. from sleeping in the day time, will overcome this aunoyance by fix: Ing. a-place in -the back part of -the house ‘where the noise of the street will not reach the ears of the little ones; sometimes it is more quiet in-| the-middle rooms of a flat, and many mothbers find.that their children can rest if they are not disturbed. The window should be darkened without shutting out the air, and a good screen is a great help, if placed sbout the crib or bed on which the child is to be. Nervous children should not be tak. en to places of amusement when they will become excited; play in the open air during the day-is quite sufficient for both body and mind, and late hours will only increase the trouble and perhaps bring on a more serious con: dition. HAVE NO SENSE OF HEARING Fish Can Feel and See, but Have No Organs Corresponding to Ears, Interesting experimental researcn nas been lately carried on to ascertain Just how many of the human qualities fish do possess. While many plausible arguments have been advanced in the afirmative the general opinion of the most advanced zoologists is opposed |to this and the reasons summed up In a recent German journal. Though many fishes are sensitive to vibrations transmitted through the water, yet it Is not believed that these are perceiv- ed by auditory senses, for in the cases of some twenty-five species of fish sin- gle éxplosions were tollay disregard- sd. And while the senses of touch and sight can be readily demonstrated, the sense of hearing seems to be pe- culiarly difficult to determine. The ! most conclusive argument, however, that fishes are really stone deaf is that they have no organs correspond- Ing to ears and these organs are rea- ponably enough supposed to be the only way of transmitting such vibrae tons. A Lovs Story. Prof. Henri Bergson, at a dinner In New York, talked of love with that | gay and sparkling philosophy which has made him famous in Europe. “Love—in the sense of passion—" he said, “love does not live long. There’'s a little fable about love which has a deal of truth in it. Love, so the fable runs, bent over a beautiful maiden, when Cynicism sneered and said: ‘Oh, yes, her eyes are stars and her mouth is & rose, but twenty years| hence she will be fat and round- backed, with a double chin, just like her mother. —You, though, will ‘No,” Love answered calmly. sban't be there to see.’” be blind, eh?" ‘I stmply = FHK KKK KK KKK We are Jobbers of PIN TICKETS and GUMMED LABELS No meed to send outside of Bemidji for them.

Senator Bourne, of - parcel post fame, said recently in Washington: “The -parcel -post, limited as it is thus far, ‘saved the American people $500,000 in its first fifteen days of operation. “That isn't much—not much to what it will do later on—but every fittle counts. “Every little counts, in. parcel postage as in New York flats,” the senator continued, smiling. “I know # New York man who, on his return from the roominess of Washington, | said fretfully to his servant: “‘Jameson, this flat seems much | smaller. than ~when I moved into it last summer.’ “‘Yes, ' gir,’ - Jameson answered. ‘Quite g0, sir.- But you must remem- ber, sir, that you are wearing your winter underclothing now, sir.’* Proposed Memorial to Frobisher. The man who was the first to search for the Northwest Passage round - the north coast of Canada is apparently to be honored at last. ‘Martin Fro- bisher, one of the greatest seamen ot the days of “Good Queen Bess,” and 1 one of the first Englishmen to explore | he coast ‘of Labrador, is to have & memorial to him at Ratcliff Cross, England. The scheme is being strong- ly advocated by Sir John Benn, one of i London’s most influential citizens. Frobisher’s adventures form a cu- rious mixture of daring and credulity. With the, piratical instinct of the true Elizabethan, Frobisher was tempted to ‘orego exploration in quest of phan- iom. gold. One of his sailors had brought home a piece of black pyrite, which the goldsmiths of London de- clared to contain no gold, but which an Italian quack valued highly. His advice being preferred, Frobisher went sui a second time to Greenland’s icy | mountains, and brought home 200 tons 1 of iron pvrlles, of no earthly value, | SYMPTOMS OF GONSUMPTION Yield to Vinol.

Few people understand why egge play so important a part in Easter celebrations. The reason is that the mediaeval law forbade eggs during Lent, and, hence, at Easter the hun- gry mediaeval: populace returned to their «favorite: dish ~*with . rejoicing. ‘With ‘us today; when Lent no-longer forbids eggs, there is no reason for featuring them upon our- Easter Sun- day breakfast menu. But we do so— it is the: pretty survival of an obso- lete custom. JIn Elizabeth's time he who ate flesh during - Lent was fined three pounds sterling. He _who 80o- much as had meat in his house was pil- foried or set in the stocks. But the rich, as usual;, dodged the harsh Lenten laws, and they who onuld afford it bought licenses to eat r.eat in Lent. For -these licenses a lord was charged 26 shillings, a knight fourteen shillings and a commoner seven- shillings. MOST RUTEITIOUS FUOD _ Mowmat, MARCH 17, 1013, SOLD IN BEMIDJI| To some Bemidji women it will be news that “Minnesota’” Macaroni, besides being so delicious, is also four times as nutritious as beefsteak and six times as nutritious as potatoes. “Minnesota” - Macaroni contains more proteids than most foods and is therefore more strength giving, and it gives the body great power of en- durance without overloading the stomach. If it is served often in place of meat the whole family will be much health- ier. “And, besides, it will reduce the cost of living, as “Minnesota” Maca- roni costs only about one cent a dish. | Try the handy “Minnesota” cut| Macaroni, which is cut into uniform pleces—it cooks more evenly and is quicker to prepare.—Adv.
