Don’t experiment with something new and untried. Use a tested kidney remedy. Begin with Doan’s Kidney Pills. Used in kidney troubles 50 years. Recompmended here and every- where. A Bemidji citizen’s statement forms convincing proof. It’s local testimony—it can be in- vestigated. Mrs, Carl Golz, 623 Minnesota Ave., Bemidji Minn., says: “I still recom- mend Doan’s Kidney Pills as highly as ever. We Kkeep them on hand and always get the best results when we take them. Some time ago Doan’s Kidney Pills relieved me of backache, headaches and dizzy speels and’ great- ly strengthened my kidneys. This remedy also toned up my system. One other in our house has had good re- sults from Doan’s Kidney Pills and recommends them as highly as I do.” Price 50c, at all dealers.

Women Are Speakers. ‘Women speaking at the meeting of the Northern Minnesota = Develop- ment association were Miss Annie E. Shelland, International Falls, pres- ident of the Women’s Auxiliary, topic was, ‘“Good Roads ' and the Third Amendment;” Miss Mabel Car- ney, St. Paul, inspector of normal training departments, state board of education, who spoke on ‘“‘Consolida- ted Schools;” Miss Lovsness, Ada, county superintendent of schools, Norman county; and member of the state educational committee, who spoke on “Efficiency in Education.” Champion of No. 3. Miss Shelland is an ardent cham- pion for Amendment No. 3, for the erection of a so-called revolving fund for improving swamp lands. She pointed things wherein lay the cause of not adopting the amend- ment and when it again comes before the people, for the need is just as great now as it was four years ago, it is earnestly hoped that the amend- ment will carry. Miss Shelland is a county superintendent of schools. She knows the settlers of the north country, living in sections with no roads. Supplies must be packed in. She pleaded simple justice for them. Miss Carney Talks: Miss Mabel Carney spoke on ‘“Con- solidated Schools” and praised the community advantages, which gave women and children .more advan- tages. Miss. Lovsness spoke on efficiency in education and emphazised the need of giving the country boys and girls a better chance. Chicago May Change Time.

Future Considered, To the average person perhaps this expenditure and its distribution do not appeal beyond its size. However, :|there is more detail involved in this one phase of the board’s work than, any one other duty imposed upon it. All buildings and u:nprovements must be within the appropriation limit, and all contracts carried out to the letter. Not .only are present needs provided for in all buildings erected, but’ the future is considered in re- spect to enlargement and additions. 2 Use Business Methods. Associated with the board is a state architect and an engineer. These two work in conjunction with the board members and no detail in- volving location, character of ~con- struction, material or mechanicai equipment is carried out without their full sanction and approval. Nothing is left to _chance or institu- tion enthusiasm which was a feature of the old days when local pride in- sisted on buildings regardless of their needs or utility, and depended upon the legislature to meet all ex- tra expense in the shape of tfiulty construction or any expenditure be- yond the appropriation limit. Plan Accordingly. Preceding the letting of a con- tract for any institution improvement or building there are needs of plan- ning, with many visits to the insti- tution concerned, conferences with the institution management, then the preparation of the architect’s and en- gineer’s plans, and finally the adver- tising for bids. These often exceed the appropriation and when they do the plans are altered to meet the fig- ure which the legislature has al- lowed. ‘When the women of Pasadena, Cal. go to the polls to vote they push baby carriages ‘before them. — ALL READY Christmas Gifts Christmas China Just Everything for Christmas Our Stock is New, Complete and on Display Do Your Christmas Shopping Early Shop in the mornings if you can While we have just twice the stock this year, and surely enough for all--still this year on account of the war, and also that 75 per cent of Toys all our toys and fancy goods came from Germany and other foreign countries and not over 30 per cent of the usual amount were in this country whea the war commenced, and not any have come over since, you can readily see that there is a great shortage of this class of goods, and that we cannot re-order, and when an item is sold we will have no more. a thing, but have gifts of all kinds. see if we haven't got if.

Russians Admit- Teutons Have Escaped From Net. Hedehh bk bk kb London, Dec. 4—A dispatch to the Exchange Telegraph company from The Hague quotes a message from Berlin that the Krupp factory at Es- sen, Germany, was bombarded by an aeroplane. Itis said that bombs were dropped from the aeroplane on the buildings de- voted to the manufacture of cannon. The airman escaped uninjured and the extent of the damage has not been ascer- tained. LR R S R R KR R R ++-1-+'!<++++++++++++ R e T e S I R S S R London, Dec. 4—For the first time since the Germans were checked. in their advance on Warsaw it is possi- ble to ‘gain a fairly clear idea of the military situation in Russian Poland in its broader aspect. Advices from both Berlin and Petrograd indicate that . the Germans have g cceeded definitely in throwing back the en- veloping Russian forces and a:e main- taining their positions near Lowicz. Furtherwore, it is said the Germans again are undertaking an energetic offensive. The compieteness of change in the situation, ascribed variously to the failure of the Russian general, Ren- nenkempf, to close up the ring about the Geérmans and to the brilliant strategy of the German leaders is in- dicated by a report telegraphed from Petrograd by an English correspond- enit, who previously had announted that Russia had won an overwhelming victory. ‘He now: says Yhat the Germans are holding their positions'and that the situation “remains extremely inter: esting and hazardous.” The latest of- ficial announcement from Petrograd states that the fighting has become less severe. All reports agree, how- ever, that in Northern Poland the battle still is undecided and fiercely contested, with the Germans making ward movement in the direction of ‘Warsaw. Great Activity in West. The increasing thunder of guns in the vicinity of Ypres and the arrival at Bruges, Belgium, of transports bearing wounded men leads to the conclusion in London that a greater degree of activity has prevailed in West Flanders than has been report- ed in official communications. The German statement says the situation is unchanged in the west, while the French statement chronicles a rather lively artillery exchange at Nieuport and to the south of Ypres. According to the French statement the inundations have been extended to the south of Dixmude, which town still is held by the Germans. From the Lys to the Somme there has been a violent bombardment, particularly at Aix-Noulette, to the west of Lens. ,From the Somme to the Aisne and in { Champagne there was quiet along the jentire front. The French claim some | progress in the Argonne forest, where : the Germans made several attacks. In the Woevre district, says the French ttatement, the German artillery. evi- dence a certain activity, but with in- significant results. Quiet is reported in Lorraine and in the Vosges moun- tains. Dispatches from Nish, Servia, the temporary capital, confirms Austrian reports of the occupation of Belgrade by stating that the city had to be evacuated by the Servians in conse quence of the advance of the invad ing Austrlan army from the west.
