THIS PAPER REPRESENTLD FCR FOREIGN ADVERTISING BY THE GENERAL OFFICES NEW YORK AND CHICAGO BRANCHES IN ALL THE PRINCIPAL CITIES An eastern pastor says that we should bury our troubles. But how can a pastor bury his entire congre- gation? It is reported that the potato selling mayor of Indianapolis is to go on the vaudeville stage When his term is finished. If potatoes will put a man on the stage, Beltrami county can supply half the world with ac- tors and then some. - How many tickets have you sold for University week? What, none? Say, do you know that the the Com- mercial club has pledged itself to raise three hundred dollars from the sale of season tickets? Now you men, members of the Bemidji Com- mercial club, just listen to this. The Woman’s Study club have already re- ported a sale of one hundred and thirty-five tickets. Are we as men, as a club of the “first water” boosters going to let the busy little woman’s club show us how to boost? Thus far we have nothing to brag about, but let us do our bragging last. To- night the commercial club meets at it’s regular session and tonight this ticket guarantee must and should be disposed of. club should be there ready to buy tickets and sell them. It is a little thing for Bemidji to accomplish and ¢an be done in less than fifteen min- utes if the proper spirit is shown. Now, all together. Let us get under the load and lift it tonight. There ji, and to Evei—y member of the are no quitters in Bemil prove that you are none, you will be at the meeting tonight. A Sign. Has over eight hundred million dollars worth of trade any influence in the world today? If it has, will it or will it not throw that influence into the protecting and perpetuating of that trading? Are two nations, busy exchanging that vast amount, likely to prefer to smoke pipes of: peace together, or to devastate each other’s land and so their own trad- ing grounds? The answer is obvious, The United States’ exports to Eng- land and Canada amount to over eight hundred million dollars. Three- fourths of all our exports go to ten leading countrieg, the list of which, recently issued by the Department of Commerce, is one of the most satis- fying signs of peace that a nation could demand: England . $623,000,000 Canada . 329,000,000 Germany .. 307,000,000 France . 135,000,000 Netherlands . . 104,000,000 Italy 65,000,000 Cuba .. 62,000,000 * Mexico . 53,000,000 Japan .. 53,000,000 Argentina 53,000,000 —Wisconsln Stnte Journal.

There is a saying that “rapid eat- ing is slow suicide.” . Jf you have formed the habit of eating too rapidly you are most likely suffering from in- digestion or constipation, which will result eventually in serious illness| unless corrected. Digestion begins in the mouth. Food should be thorough-| ly masticated and insalivated. Then when you have'a fullness of the stom- “ach or feel dull and stupid after‘eat-| ing, take one of Chamberlain’s Tab- lets. ‘Many ‘severe casés of stomach trouble:and :constipation -have :been cured by the‘use of these: tablets.

Morgan Made Hll) Art Purchases, and R ted Ad- vice and Plerpont Morgan sometimes made ur-l chases of.aworks ofiart and rare brica-| brac is<well jlluatrated by one of hi visits to an art stere in Washington, where -he obtained quite a number of; valuable pieces now in his New York' collection. Mr. Morgan being here for b\llh.\ellv purposes, dropped into the _store. and looking over the collection found & Queen-Anne talnnt that plsmd Ml fancy. a1 “What do you want for this" Qum Anne teapot?” he asked. “Three thousand dollars, Mr, Mor- | gan,” replied the art dealer. “It’s not worth that much. I know ‘what you pay for these things abroad,” he retorted, rather tartly. “But, Mr. Morgan,” insisted the deal- er, “ibs duty:is very high” . “I know what the duty is, too,” flashed back the financier, who held the rare bit of porcelain up to the light. “I'll give you $2,400 for it.” “Well, Mr, Morgan, if it pleases you take it along.” In a moment & check was written for amount offered, and the financier, who wore a sack coat, thrust.the del- icate treasure into his side pocketand walked out. Most purchasers would | have arranged to have the valuable piece carefully boxed and forwarded by express, properly insured, but it was not so with the world-famous col- lector. If any one had jolted him that afternoon that $2,400 Queen Anne would have been broken into frag- ments, “It was Mr. Morgan’s way,” said the dealer, in recalling the incident.— ‘Washington Post. Dogs on Menus. The note of black in dinner table decorations is the dominating note ot this season’s hospitality in Paris. One finds in. it dainty menus and name cards, with a silhouette of the fash-| ionable chow, Pomeranian, or pug dog in jetblack adorning the top, and these are seen on all the most fash. fonable dinner and luncheon tables in Paris just now. Another new idea in table stationery is a menu card which shows a delicately colored sil- houette top of a, couple dancing the two-step, theturkey . trot, and _the bunny hug. New ideas in name cards are to be noted in scme exquisitely dainty gilt baskets filled with minia- ture artificlal flowers—rosebuds, vio- lets, May .blossoms, or primroses—set {ii" moss, with a card bearing the guests’ name standing out from the center of each. Chop Suey $25 a Dish. High cost of living is not worrying the Chinese. One big Chicago restaus rant run on the Hong-Kong style has on its menu a dish that costs $25. “Foony wong wu_yin” is what they call it, and one portion is enough for five hungry suffragettes or six ordl nary men. It has to be ordered twen+ ty-four hours before you get it. Shake Off Your Rheumatism. Now is the time to get rid of your rheumatism.

The Baltimore oriole has been quick to realize the friendly attitude of man, returning year after year to the same locality. Nearly all parks of the country contain one or more pairs, and because of the safe loca- tion of ‘the deep basket nest on the extreme end of a -pendulous branch where it cannot be despoiled by cat or squirrel, they rear their young safely. ‘Though this is undoubtedly a factor in the struggle for survival of the species, in many individual in- stances it would not be necessary; for the oriole is a hird of splendid cour- age. ‘Red squl:rels have been badly beaten in attenibts to’ despoil an ap- proachable nestd and-cats have been driven from the tree by the sharp thrusts ‘of ‘a nedle-like bill, Watch a pair at work building, and the ‘perfect' - adaptability - of these two for weaving their curious nests will be understood.
