Many of the states of the United States and portions of Canada have established publicity bureaus, who send out live, spicy news, facts and figures of their respective communi- ties through which many inquiries for property are received and a large number of new settlers thus acquired. Western Canada has been particular- ly strong along this line and keeps the whole country in touch with ad- vertising they do. They have mailing lists of all the live newspapers in practically all the states of the Unit- ed States, and forward them from day to day interesting news matter gratis. Much of it is re-printed in our news- ‘papers, thus giving publicity to the doings in Canadian territory. The states have been organized such pub- licity bureaus report to have met with much success. The secretary of the Missoula Chambers of Commerce, Missoula, Montana, reports that 90 per cent of their inquiries for Mon- tana property came from territory ex- tending not more than 500 miles rfom Minneapolis. ‘With the opportunities Minnesota affords, what could not be accom- plisfied by the maintenance of such a bureau for this state? There is no question - but that Minnesota could picture the opportunities afforded to exceed any' that can possibly be of- fered in Canada and many of our own Western states. - Not-only -can these opoprtunities be pictured in a desir- able form but can be backed by facts and figures without inisrepresentation in thie slightest degree, Minnesota needs only to tell the truth of its wonderful opportunities 'and 8GtirGes, @nd“we predict that-if given the prop(ar publicity the results would be astounding. To_bring: about such an organiza- tion every interest in the state-should - be appealed to.” First of all the news- papers to take up the matter through the staté editorial association.

Land speculation out here has in the past pald very well but there is bound to be a lot of money lost in the next year or two; for where it does not pay to farm, it does not eventually pay to own. “There is a variety of causes .that g0 to make up this present condition, | & but chief among them are the above characteristics of the Canadian peo- ple. - “I make this statement after seven years’ observation and consideration and knowing that all the world hates a knocker; but I will not be a party to this gross deception that is being practiced by the boosters every- where.

A municipality has power to fix by ordinance the weight of the standard loaf of bread to be sold, under a de- cision by the Supreme court of the United States in a sult to test the constitutionality of an ordinance of Chicago. The law prohibits the sale of bread not up to the standard weight of a loaf or of a specified fractional part of a loaf, although it may pro- duce some inconvenience, and the Su- preme court decides that this is not an arbitrary or unreasonable exercise of the police power. The court held further that a considerable .demand for bread of sizes other than those .| tablets. fixed by the ordinance does not ren- der the ordinance invalid - which ate > Gommonly sis ‘the' house- ~fly. proper > dium sized $ grayish fly, s mouth parts- spread at. the top & for sucking up $ tiquid sub- stances.

This, the so called * fly,” closely resembles the hous: fly. Its mouth parts are formed for piercing ‘skin. Virtually all flies breed in horse manure, cow ¢ manure and warm, decaying vegetable matter, including old straw and gras: The fly begins life as an egg. It passes through the larval stage, where it is known as a maggot. It passes then through the pupal stage, emerging as the winged pest we all know. The periods of development are about as follows: Eggs from deposition to hatching, third of a day; hatching of lar- vae to first molt, one day; first to second molt, day; second molt to pupation, three days; pupation to issuing of adult, five days; total -life round, ap- the larvae or maggots may feed @ i Horse manure Cure for Stomach Disorders.

AS TO BOOKS AND EDUCATION Gladstone’s Advice and Summing Up Are Worth the Careful Consid- eration of All Readers. And now I commend you again to your books. Books are delightful so- clety. If you go into & room and find it full of books even. without taking them from their shelves, they seem to speak to you, to bid you welcome. They seem to-tell you that they have | something inside thelr covers that will be. good for you, and that they are $ | willing and desirous to impart to you. & | Value them much. . Endeavor to turn them to good account and pray recol- lect this, that' the education of the mind ie not merely a storage of goods | in the mind. The mind of man, some people seem to think, is a storehouse which should be filled with & quantity of useful commodities which may be taken out like packets from a shop and delivered and distributed accord- ing to the occasions of life. I will not say that this is not true as far as it goes, but it goes a very little way; for commedities may be taken in, and commodities may be taken out, but the warehouse remains just the same.as it was before, or probably a little worse. That ought not to be the case with a ‘man’s mind. No doubt you are able to cull knowledge that is useful for the temporal puzpoges of lite, but never forget that thé ‘purpose for which :a man lives is the improvement of the man himself, 8o that he ‘may go out of the world’ having, in his ' great sphere or his small one, done some little good to his fellow creatures, and labored. a little to diminish the sin and the sorrow that are in the world. —Gladstone on the Use of Boo! Listen! Say the’ Girls. ‘What's the matter with -the girls these days? = Can't théy hold the at- tention of any one? Is it necessary to keep repeating the word “listen” in an ordinary talk where the “talkee” {s-all-attention? A miss- of" perhaps 17 years asked for a certain brand of face powder in~a’ drug store re- cently. -This is a fair account of what she said: “Listen! "I wanmt a box of yuh face powder. Listen! Do you keep that there kind that comes with —with-a mirror? You know the kind I mean. Listen! What shade do you think I need? Is Raychel (Ra- chey) too dark? Listen—" That was as much as T heard, says & writer in the New York Sun. But it was enough. If a girl has a tooth- ache or a wart on her finger or a headache, it is “Listen, listen, listen,” to ‘the patient or in many cases impa- tlent drug clerk. No miss, i seems, considers her vocabulary up to date unless it is burdened with “listen.” Girls, take a tip. Put “listen” on the shelf. THE SEGRET OF - SUGGESS @Genuine Merit Required to Win the People’s Confidence. Have you ever stopped to reason why it 18 that so many products that are extenisvely advertised, all at once drop out of sight and are soon forgot- ten? The reason is plain—the article did not fulfil the promises of the manufacturer. This applies more par-| . ticularly to a miedicine. A medicinal preparation that has real curative value almost sells itself, as like an endless chain system the remedy is recommended by those who have been cured, to those who are in need of it. In an interview on the subject a prominent local druggist says “Take for example Dr. Kilmer’'s Swamp- Root, a preparation'I have sold for many years and never hesitate to rec- ‘'ommend, for in almost every case it shows immediate results, as many of | my customers testify. No other kid- ney remedy that I know of has so large a sale.”” The success of Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp- Root is due to the fact that it fulfils every wish in overcomihg ' kidney, liver and bladder diseases, corrects urinary troubles and neutralizes the uric acld which causes rheumatism. A free trial bottle will be sent by mail, absolutely free. Address Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y., and mention this paper. Regular size :ottles sold at all druggists—50¢ and 1.0 : Rheumatism Quickly Cured. “My sister'’s” husband had an at- tack of rheumatism in his arm,” writes a well'known ‘resident of New- ‘ton, Jowa. “I gave him a bottle of Chamberlain’s Liniment which he ap- \plied .to -his arm and. on the next morning the rheumatism was gone.” For chronic - muscular rheumatism you will find nothing better than Chamberlain’s Liniment. - -Sold by Rentals, Bonds, Real Estate First Mortgage Loans on City and Farm Property 8 and 6, O’Leary-Bowser lldl.
