NAROLD J. DAXE, Raitor. Bigger Than a Committee, E. E. Colling’ proposition to furn- ish gas to the city of Bemidji is too big a proposition to be left to any committee of three men. The coun- cil meets a week from tonight and at that time will hear the report of the special committee. The special committee will meet with Mr. Col- lins tonight in the office of the city clerk. The meeting is open to those who wish to attend. Mr. Colling’ proposition is one which affects all of the business interests of the city and representatives of the Commere- ial club should be at the conference tonight. Time to Get Busy. If Bemidji is to have the fifth nor- mal school, more local interest must be shown in the matter than has been shown to date. The committee on statistics has compiled the in- formation which is to be presented to the committee from the legislature. The committee on site is confering with the townsite company to see what it will do in the matter. But there appears to be a general air of indifference on the subject. Every man in Bemidji must put forth an effort if the city is to land the normal school. Thief River Falls is working tooth and nail. Cass Lake is quietly laying its wires. Be- midji is the logical for the school but the fact must be demon- strated. It is to be hoped that the commit- tee to be appointed will contain men who are interested particularly in education and not a committee of pol- iticians. No one could find fault with a committee composed of Dr. Vincent, a member place of the normal school board, the attorney general, Joseph Chapman, Jr., the state sup- erintendent of schools and one man in general business. A committee of politicians might be governed by mo- tives other than the best interests of state education. The legislature’s committee will probably be appointed within -the week. Bemidji should be in shape to lay its proposition before the com- mittee at once. The Commercial club has taken the first steps; now let the directors meet and go farther, Tin Can Day. A month ago, the Commercial club of Spooner announced that on a cer- tain date it would pay one cent a dozen for all tin cans delivered to the committees in charge. The commit- tees that day were overwhelmed with tin cans and paid for 23,064 or 1,922 dozen cans. The $19.22 quickly found its way into the hands of the stores through the ice cream route, but Spooner today is free from tin cans. No tin cans means thousands less of flies and mosquitoes this sum- mer, The Bemidji Commercial club would do a great service to the city if it followed the lead of the Spooner club and bought all the tin cans in sight. The cost of the cans and haul- ing them-.away is not prohibitive. They might be loaded on barges and sunk in the lake or carted .out to some slough by wagon. There are plenty of tin cans here and each means a breeding place for flles and mosquitoes. An Attack Unwarranted. The Appeal to Reason in its issue of April 26 announces th_at proceed- ings will be instituted against the publishers of all papers who com- mented on or reprinted the story-pub- lished in the Remonstrator of Okla- homa City attacking the character of the late J. A. Wayland, founder of the Appeal to Reason, It is apparent that the attack was entirely nnwgrrnntéd Cand thorough investigations should have been made by publishers who copled the article; If newspapers must resort to “such scurrilous methods in the-hope -of scoring a political advantage, thus attempting to stem the rising tide of Socialism, they might betfier aban-| don the title acquired. Mr. Wayland was an honored and highly respected citizen of Girard, Kansas. His family consisted of two sons and three daughters, all respect- ed and highly esteemed for their cul- ture and cleanliness of character. That in the hours of sorrow, already bereft by the horrors of death, such an unwarranted attack should be made upon the father, when its only effect could be to wound innocent members of the family is inconciev- able. It is but natural that the fam- ily should insist that justice take its course. Koochiching in Trouble. Koochiching county has. hoisted the signal of distress and sent a wire- less to the governor for help. Twenty-five residents have peti- tioned him to investigate the conduct of the board of county commission- ers and the county attorney of that county. The charge is made that Franz Je- van, county attorney, without suffic- ient reason, dismissed proceedings brought against the International Lumber company to collect $3,000 in taxes, and intimates collusion in- volving the board of commissioners. The letter also charges that the county board hired George A. Snyder to go to St. Paul to interest the leg- islature in the need of good roads in that county and that instead Snyder lobbied for other interests. The county board paid him $315. Libraries in Street Cars. A strong. light is thrown on the difference between street railway travel in this country and England by the recent proposal to place small libraries in the English tram cars. What a vision of a placid easy-going populace that suggestion calls up! Years ago, however, literary activity of just that sort was still possible in American cities, for it is said that Horace Greeley mastered two or three tongues while riding to and from his office. But reading on the cars is a doubtful benefit, after all. The strain on the eyes is consider- able, and the eyestrain tells on the nerves. Arnold Bennett’s way of passing time in transit is to be recom: mended to those who find the loss of time occasioned by street car travel distressing. With a little will power, says Mr. Bennett, anybody can learn to reflect during the half hour or the hour he passes gach day in the cars. Reflection is quite as valuable as reading, and it is probably true that the average mind finds it more diffi- cult to get time for the fcrmer than the latter. It matters not where you reside or what you want, the merchants below can it get for you at a price thnt will defy competition. Every merchant is reliable and will give you the best value for your money. AR ‘Wae are tJolmerl of PIN TICKETS and GUMMED LABELS No need to send outside of Bemidji for them.

Baker & €. X 3233 THE FLY—NOW. . When the little pests begin to swarm about our doors so thick that no lamount of shooing will drive: them | away, when a good dinner {s spoiled for us by the sight of a fy in the’ gravy, then we will begin to buy fly traps and paper and poison and spend | hours of each day swatting them and scolding the children for leaving the: door open, -and we'll keep right on in | the same old way until frost comes. We have done it for years, and we can go on doing it for years to come, and a thousand years from now there will be just as many flles to swat as there are now unless we change our meth- ods. When we were children we were taught that the fly was a harmless lit- tle creature, “nature’s scavenger,” and therefore a friend to man. Even then we looked upon -him with aversion when we found him swimming in our | milk. But now that we know his scavenging consists in collecting filth and disease germs in our outhouses and depositing them on our food- ev- ery man's hand Is against him. Sci- ence has pronounced the death sen- tence upon him, and the only reason that his execution Is delayed is be- cause there are so many of him. This new way is the way of pre- vention. Stables and refuse piles, out- houses and garbage cans are points of attack in the fly campaigns. By mak- ing the breeding places inhospitably clean and sanitary more can he ac- complished in a day than in a season of swatting the fly after it has once come into existence.

Thousands who suffer from back- ache and kidney complaint have tried one remedy after- another, finding only temnorary‘}beneflt. This is dis- couraging, but there is one kidney medicine that has earned a reputa- tion for lasting results and there is plenty of proof of its merit rlght here in Bemidji. e Here is the testimony of one who used Doan’s Kidney Pills years ago, and now makes his testimony even stronger. Mr. Henry Revor, 808 Bemidji Ave. Bemidji, Minn., says: “I suffered from backache for weeks at a time. It seemed that I could get nothing that would relieve me. Finally, I heard about Doan’s Kidney Pills. After taking two boxes, I felt like a differ- ent person. The public statement I then gave, praising Doan’s Kidney Pills, still holds good. The benefit they brought, has been permanent.” For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, New York, sole agents for the United States.

Many are famillar with the story of the Chinese serv- ant who threw the broom down the back -stairs every morning at ten o'clock because his mistress had done 80 when she first instructed him in his duties. Recently & young German in Mu- nich, fresh from his service in the army, where he had been taught to obey orders implicitly, got employ- ment with a baker who owned a dog, for which neither he nor his wife had any great love. As the time approach- ed for the renewal of the dog license, amounting to 9 marks ($2.25), there was some discussions in the family as to whether it would not be bet- ter to have the dog killed. " The baker, however, instructed the new assistant to take § marks to the ex- cise office and bring back the dog M- cense. At the same time, the wife, not knowing what her husband hnd- done, told the -young man to take the -dog to the animals’ home - and have him killed; shé gave him 2 mark (26 cents) for the fee and 12 cents for himself, because he appeared to be rather fond of the dog. :The valiant soldler reported him- self later in the day minus the nine marks and dog, but proudly showed that he had executed both commis- sions faithfully by producing the li- cense for the dog and a receipt for the money he hsd paid for having him killed. Oldest Flower. The rose is the oldest flower.of which there is any record. So great Is the antiquity of the rose that all account of its origin has been lost. In Egypt the rose is depicted on a num- ber of monuments believed - to date from 3000 to 3500 B. C. A MIXTURE OF SAGE AND SUL- PHUR. PREVENTS DANDRUFF AND FALLING HAIR. ‘When you darken your hair with Sage Tea and Sulphur no one can tell, becaues it’s done so naturally; so evenly. It is also splendid to remove dandruff, cure itching scalp and stop falling hair. Preparing this mixture, though, at home is a mussy and troublesome task. For abgut fifty cents a bhottle you can buy at ank drug store the ready-to-use -tonic _ called, “Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy.” Some -druggists put this mixture up themselves but make it too sticky, so insist you want “Wyeth’s” then there —and take no other.

Do this at night and by morning all gray hair disappears and after another ap- plication or two becomes beautifully darkened and more glossy and luxur- iant than ever. You will also dis- cover dandruff is gone and hair has stopped falling. Gray, faded hair, though no dis- grace, is a sign of old age and as we all desire a youthful and attractive appearance, get busy at once with ‘Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur and you'll look years younger.
