Gillette bowled a per- fect score the other night he per- formed a stunt which will place his name in Spalding’s “How To Bowl,” for many years to come, The county commissioners yester- day awarded the county printing to the Bemidji Pioneer, at regular rates, ‘with the understanding that suppli- ments be furnished to other legal pa- pera of the county, namely the Bem- idjl Sentinel, Blackduck American, Kellther Journal, Spooner News and Baudette Region. e —— Hampering the R. M. 0. Houses Not very long ago a retall merch- ant sent an order to one of the mail order houses. That in itself is a lit- tle unusual. It was not an order sent in at random, but had some pretty clear thinking behind it. A study of a retall mail order catalog had shown this man that the concern in question ‘was offering certain well known and well advertised goods at prices that he could not meet. A comparison of some of these prices with those he was paying showed him further that it cost him more to buy certain of these goods from his usual source of supply than he could buy them from the catalog house. Now correspondence with some of the houses making these goods con- vinced him that the retail mail con- cern was not buying the goods direct from the manufacturer but in some round about way. Consequently it ‘was safe to assume that it was los- Ing money on this business. Hore s the order this man sent in: Wholesale R. M. 0. Price Price 24 pkgs. washing pow- der .....iiiiin.... 8430 $4.05 12 cakes scouring soap.. .79 1 36 pkgs. well known cereal ............. 460 4.45 12 pkga. of another coreal ............. 1.35 1.38 — $10.94 $10.59 83 1-3 pounds sugar. 1.60 1.00 Total ...vuune .. $12.64 $11.69 In explanation: 5 Twelve cakes of scouring soap and the twelve packages of the second coreal were ordered In those quanti- ties because the merchant figured that the differential between the eage and the dozen prices was not large enough to pay for breaking the case! The sugar had to go with a $10 grocery order, presumably that a part of the loss should be made up. It will be noticed how the merchant succeeded In frustrating the scheme. The fdda back of the order was elmply this: Here 18 a case where there is an obvious loss to the retall mall order house, not only In the actual money It pays for the goods, but as well In the over head charge that must be covered From his knowledge of the catalog house game, this mer- <hant figures the loss will amount to anywhere from $1.50 to $3.00 on this order. The reason why the Bulletin is publishing the foregoing material is that if 1,000 retall merchants in the Northwest were each to send a sim- ilar order say once or twice a month, the catalog houses would be compelled to revise their prices in short order. The only question: Will they do it? ~=Twin City Commerctal Bulletin. BREE R KK KKK K K * EDITORIAL EXPLOSIONS * iii*i*i*iiiiiiiii - J.

Practical Fashion Hints By Alico. Gibson It is comparatively easy to make a smart little coat for the small girl this winter, ‘materials lend themselves so well and so few trimmings are requir- ed. If one of the double faced mate- rials Is used for the coat no lining is needed, another thing that simplities matters. When the face of the mate- rial Is plaid or a contr tractive revers and colla plished without any are accom- extra material. The edges may be bouud with a silk brald and the buttonholes also bound with brald. No. 7048 is a design that is suitable for reversible materials. It closes at the side rrout and may be buttoned close up to the throat or be turned back in revers effect.

The old-time mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur for darkening gray, streaked and faded hair is grand- mother’s treatment, and folks are again using it to keep their hair a good, even color, which is quite sen- s'ble, as we are living in an age when a youthful appearance 1s of the greatest advantage. Nowdays, though, we don’t have the troublesome task of gathering the sage and the mussy mixing at home. All drug stores sell the ready to-use product called “Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy” for about 50 cents a bottle. It is very popular because nobody can discover it has been applied. Simply moisten your comb or a-soft -brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time; by morning the gray hair disappears, but what delights.the ladies with Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur’'is that, besides beautifully darkening the hair after a few applications, it also produces that soft lustre and appear- ance of abundance which is so at- tractive; besides, prevents dandruff, itching scalp and falling hair. Ch8mberlain’s Cough Remedy. This remedy has no superior for coughs and colds. It is pleasant to take. It contains no opium or other narotic. It always cures. For sal Ivy all ‘ dealors—Adv. ng color, at-| broke in two off Sandy Hook early Sunday, were brought into port alive. They were picked up in a lifeboat Sunday afternoon by the Booth line steamer Gregory after having been adrift in the bitter cold for six hours. The rescue of these men accounts for seventeen of the Oklahoma’s crew of forty—eight having been rescued by the liner Bavaria and three found dead in a lifeboat by'the revenue cut- ter Seneca. A wireless message from the cap- tain of the revenue cutter Seneca, that went to the assistance of the dis- 7| tressed steamship, dispelled hope that eight others might have escaped in an open boat.

Meat forms uric acid which excites the kidneys, they become overworked from the strain, get sluggish and fail to filter the waste from the blood, then we get sick. Nearly all rheumatism, headaches, liver trouble, nervousness, dizziness, sleeplessness and urinary disorders come from sluggish kidneys. The moment you feel a dull ache in the kidneys or your back hhurls or if the urine is cloudy, offensive, {full of sediment, irregular of pass- {age or attended by a sensation of scalding, stop eating meat and get about four ounces of Jad Salts from |any pharmacy; take a tablespoon in {a glass of water before breakfast |and in afew days your kidneys will act fine. This famous salts Is mada from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for generations to flush and stimulate the kidneys, also to neutralize the acids in urine so it no longer causes irritation thus ending bladded weakness. Jad Salts is inexpensive and can- not injure; makes a delightful ef- fervescent lithia-water drink which everyone should take now and thehn to keep the kidneys clean and actice and the blood pure, thereby avoiding serious kidney complications. and poisons Pioneer wants—one half word cash. cent & For Price of Lo INQUIRE OF Bemidji, 8T.

ISOLATION OF A - CONTINENT | Perhaps the Benefits Will Offset the Damage of Diverted Commerce The question suggests itself—will South America experience a material loss by the diverting of east and west bound commerce through the Panal canal instead of the old route around Cape Horn? Vessels for Europe bound for our Pacfic coast or Oriental ports will no longer skirt the coastline of South America, stop- ping at its ports for coal, provisions and other supplies. That this will represent a great loss to South Amer- coast cities cannot be disputed. It is, however more than probable that this loss of patronage from tran- sient shipping is offset by the great benefits in the saving on freight bound for 'South American ports, which can now come through the canal instead of circling the Horn. Examples of this shortening of the distance will be experienced in the shipping of cargoes from Asia or our Pacfic coast ports to the east coast of South America; or vessels from Europe and our Atlantic coast, bound for cities on the Pacfic side of South America. In any of thiese cases the canal will be a great time and dis- tance saver, and its benefits will run into vast sums of money. “Panama and the Canal in Picture and Prose” not only gives you full information regarding the com- | mercial signHicance of the canal and the facts of its construction, but it is also the only exhaustive history of the Panama Republic aand its inter- esting people, both aboriginal l('fld civilized., The Pioneer has arranged for a limited distribution of this remarka- ble.$4 book, which contains over 400 Marge pages and 644 photographs and colored illustrations, The compli- mentary terms are sensational, and are full explained in the Panama certificate printed elsewhere in this paper. * PIONEER WANT ADS One-half cent a word-cash with copy Phone 31 ts, Terms, Etc., T.
