FHIS PAPER REPRESENTED FOR FOREIGN ADVERTISING BY THE GENERAL OFFICES NEW YORK AND CHICAGO BRANCHES IN ALL THE PRINCIPAL CITIES Our Slogan: “Bemidji 25,000 Population in 1925” Should Be Represented. One of the most important meet- ings of the Northern Minnesota De- velopment association is to be held at Coleraine, the model city of .the. iron range, on Thursday and Friday of next week and it is important that Bemidji have as large a delegation present as possible. Next December, the ninth and tenth, the winter business session of the association will be held in Be- midji, the birth-place of the organi- zation which has played such a prom- inent part in theé progress and won- derful advance of this section. This fact alone should prove an incentive to boosters of Bemidji to attend the Coleraine meeting in large numbers as the interest shown by this eity will have much to do with the sue- ‘cess of the December convention. It is hoped that every man able to do so will go to Coleraine. There is every indication that the meeting will be well attended, and it ought to be. A program of ex- ceptional merit has been ptovided‘ and the two days of the meeting will ! be well filled, and many matters of importance to Northern Minnesota development will be discussed, one of which will be as to in what man- ner the reclamation revolving fund amendment may best be placed be- fore the people in order that it ma receive sufficient votes to cause ils: passage. ! Coleraine’s committee has complet- ed arrangements for the entertain-' ment of the visitors and an enjoyable stay there is certain. The delegates. will be afforded opportunity to visiti the million-dollar washing plant of ; the Oliver Iron Mining company and also to inspect the methods of open | pit mining. On cne day of the convention Gov-| ernor Hammond, several state offi- cials and a large number of senators and representatives will attend the! sessions of the association, Colerainei being one of the places to be visited | by the party during its excursion of‘ Northern Minnesota. For this rea- son. if none other, the meeting should be attended by a large delegation from Bemidji and every other city ‘which is included within its con-|{ fines, illustrating that the Northern Minnesota Development association‘ is the active and important organiza- [materl asserts the report, nor is n. | possible to indicate the tremendous( i cost to the nation. i tion for which it is famed.

There are millions of acres of some of the best farming land in the state still awaiting set- tlement on account of the strewn stumps, of which it must be| cleared before the land can be cul- tivated. This can be effected with dynamite at nominal expense, if the dynamite could be had at cost. And the state is the party to furmish’ it on those terms. It would even he a good business proposition if the state were to remove the stumps at its own expense and sell the land to settlers afterward, adding the cost of clearing to the price of the land. Such a step would add imfimensely to the development of the state and easily double our population within the next decade; and it would open up a vast empire for a desirable class of people and convert Northern Min- nesota into a veritable paradise,— Peter Free Press. $750,000 YEARLY ‘Washington, D. C., June 4.—Three- quarters of a billion dollars, at a very conservative estimate, is the annual money tax levied by ill- 'health upon wage-workers in the United States in the form of lost wages and expenses of sickness. The greater part of this gigantic tax falls upon those workers who are : least able to afford it, since sickness has’ been found to be much more pre- valent among low-paid workers than among those whose incomes are suf- ficient to provide sanitary housing, adequate food and favorable sur- roundings in the home and in the place of work. These conclusions aré 'among those given in a report on sickness insur- ance to the federal Commission on Industrial Relations which was pre- pared in co-operation with the United States Public Health service. The report was prepared by Surgeon B. S. Warren, of the Public Health ser-| vice, who was detailed as sanitary ad- visor to the commission, and Edgar Sydenstricker, a member of the com- mission’s staff. The estimate given above is based | on a careful examination of the sick records of nearly a million workers in this country and is found to cor- respond very closely to the figures ai- forded by the sick records for a long ' period of years of about twenty-six million workers in Germany and It includes, the re-| port points out, merely the loss of wages during illness and the expen- ses of medical attention, and does not take into consideration the impmr- ment of the worker’s efficiency and, vigor, or the cost of illness of mem- bers of his family. i The average wage-earner in the United States loses approximately ' ine days every year on account of sickness, much of which is prevent-, able, states the report. The real sig- 'nificance of these conclusions lie m| the fact, as shown by statistics from a large number of governmental and half of the wage-earners in this country do not receive incomes suf- | ficient to maintain healthful condi- tions of living. All experience in | study of the ecomomic conditions of | sick persons agree that poverty and | sickness go hand in hand, the re-! port says, and that it is among these ; low paid workers and their families | that the highest morbidity rate isl found to prevail. Sickness has been' principal | causes of unemployment and a prin- | cipal factor in recruiting the army | of destitute and dependant persons. ‘ The cost to the industries of the| country resulting from the ill- health of employes cannot be esti-!

Doughnuts That will remain moist. Every houscwife who bakes her own i bread knows that if a little potato is added | | to the sponge, the bread will not dry out as quickly. In this recipe potato is utilized to make doughnuts that will remain moist and fresh for several days. K C will be found to have distinct ad- vantages over any other Baking Powder for ‘doughnuts. K C is a double acting baking powder with which a large batch of doughnuts may be mixed and fried a few at a time. The last will be as light and nice | asthe first. i K C Potato Doughnuts By Mrs. School fame. 8% cups flour;, 2 eggs; 1 cu; sugar; j level teuspoonfu K C Baking Powder; % tea- Nevada Briggs, of Baking mace; 1 cup cold mashed potato; i cup milk, or more needed.

N-w Type a Great. Help: to. the Public of New York City. The problem of providing street gigns of the best possible type for Manbat- tan is.one to which Borough President Marks has addressed himself. He insisted upon finding if possible | a type of sign that would enable peo- ple to determine definitely and at a glance the name of the street on which they might be and also the name of the cross street toward which they might be looking; that these signs should be legible at a considerable dis- tance and, furthermore, that they ) should be so placed in rela_tion to street lights as to be readily visible at night as well as in the daytime. As a result a type has been evolved which has met the exacting require- ments laid down by President Marks. The new signs, like the old, are placed on lampposts at street intersections on diagonally opposite corners. They con- sist of a steel plate twenty-two inches long and seven and a half inches high, having at the center of the top a semi- circular projection eleven and one- eighth inches wide at the base, with a radius of five and one-eighth inches. On the main body of the sign plate is indicated the name of the avenue or street; on the semicircular projection at the top is indicated the name of the cross street. The lettering s white and four inches high on a dark blue background enameled on the plate. The sign plate is held in a bronze colored skeleton steel holder, into which it is inserted from the top. The plates are reversible and can be seen from either side, while the holder is 8o, TR F Bk HURS Take a glass of Salts to flush Kidneys if Bladder bothers you—Drink lots of water. Eating meat regularly eventually pro- duces kidney trouble in some form or other, says a well-known authority, be- cause the uric acid in meat excites the kidneys, they become overworked; get sluggish; clog up and cause all sorts of distress, particularly backache and mis- ery in the kidney region; rheumatic twin- ges, severe headaches, acid stomach, con- stipation, torpid liver, sleeplessness, bladder and urinary irritation. The moment your back hurts or kid- neys aren’t acting right, or if bladder bothers you, get about four ounces of Jad Selts from any good pharmacy; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys'will then act fine. This famous - salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for generations to {lush clogged kidneys and stimulate them to normal activity; also to neutralize the acids in the urine so it no longer irri- tates, thus ending bladder disorders. Jad Salts cannot injure anyone; makes a delightful effervescent lithia- water drink which millions of men and women take now and then to keep the kidneys and urinary organs clean, thus avoiding sericus kidney disease. designed as to afford a rectangular framing for the name of the avenue or street and an oval framing for the name of the cross street. The holder or frame i8 made as flat as possible, all unnecessary ornamentation being omit- ted, not only in order to enhance the dignity and good appearance of the sign, but also in order te prevent as far as possible the face of the sign from being darkened by shadows such as are cast by the projecting ornamenta- tion on signs of other types. Now, for the first time in the his- tory of New York city, through the use of this new type of street sign, which gives double informatjon on a single sign, it is possible, either by day or by night, for people traveling along a New York street, particularly those _people riding in trolley cars or: other fast moving vehicles, quickly and pos- itively to determine from a consider- able distance exactly which street they are on and which cross street they are approaching. A cexntury’s supply of peat near Moscow has been acquired by a Rus- sian company which will erect a plant and convert it into electricity to light and heat the city.
