Let’s prove to them that we have the best little city in the state. ‘When Dr. Gislason .of the state university faculty stated that he sup- posed the people of Bemidji would at the end of University week besaying, as reads the old office sign, “Just one Damn Thing After Another,” he was mistaken.

No general rules can be given, each case having to be handled on its own merits. ‘It calls for a psychologist rather than a physi cian. Some of the many well defined iforms that-neurastheniatakes have re- celved names of their own. Among Baying, “Just one Splendid Entertain- ment after Another.” That Women’s Club. Bemidji’'s Commercial club has a state wide reputation because of the fact it gets what it goes after. It has been the cause of Bemidji’s secur- ing the name as being a place in which its business men are pro- gressives, alert to grasp the slightest opportunity by which they might gain new laurels for their home city. But this club which. has done so much for the welfare of the city, is meeting keen opposition in the efforts which -are being put forth by the members of the Women’s Study club. This organization, comprised of twen- ty hustling women, has been one of the .chief factors in making Univer- sity week a success, they have had complete charge of the entertaining of the visitors; they have given re- freshments at each afternoon pro- .8ram; they have given one business men’s luncheon and are to give an< other tomorrow. This same club is doing their level best to place Bem- idjt in a position whereby the sixth Normal S¢hool Commission cannot get away fyom the fact that this city is the proper and only place for its loca~ tion. They are indeed deserving of praise, 8hake Off Your Rheumatism, Now is the time to get rid of your rheumatism.
