They will come in connection with the legislative excursion which is being made to principal towns and cities of Northern Minnesota. Be- midji, as will this entire section of the state, will be on parade, and our citizens have arranged to take ad- vantage of the opportunity to show our’ guests fhe’many resources which are 'destined to make this city the center of one of the nation’s greatest agricultural and dairying communi- ties and which are to assist in attain- ing the coveted goal, a population of 26,000 in 1925. American Aid for War Victims. The American people are the best givers in the world. Since the birth of the nation.no call for help from the poor or distressed of other coun- tries has ever failed to meet a prompt and abundant response. Sufferers from famine, floods, earthquakes and other calamities have never appealed to the American heart and the Amer- ican purse in vain, says the Minne- apolis Tribune. Americans have been contributing liberally of money, food and clothing to the war sufferers in Belgium, Po- land, Serbia and other countries and they will probably continue to do so as long as the war'lasts, but it is asking too much when we are called upon to contribute to the relief of distress in the nations that are ac- tually engaged in war. The Bel- gians did not begin fighting of their own accord. Their war, with its consequent distress, was forced. upon them.: Disease in Serbia has caused an. appeal for help which Americans will not resist. Poland, a victim of the war without being a part of it, is entitled to the sympathy and help of the world. But in the countries actively engaged in the war, the suf- fering of women and children {s gaused by their own governments. To send them supplies would simply strengthen their rulers for further acts, of war. There is no obligation upon chari- table America to feed hostile nations. The competency of the governments and the money classes in the warflng countries ‘to relieve the distress of their people has not been destroyed. The duty of caring for their own rests with these governments, and as a matter of fact, the Allies should be required to relieve Belgian distress, 80 long as théy are using Belgium as their battleground. There is such a thing as abusing the charity of the’American people.

The provision has finally been enacted into law. It is a reasonable law * * Now the telephone companies are going to fight, and they will set up. that the law is unconstitutional, and will ;| carry the fight through the courts for years and years. Meanwhile the people will become more and more impatient and more and more regu- latory measures will be passed, and in the end the telephone companies will let out a holler and beg; just as the railroad companies have hol- lered and begged—for fair treatment. The people will be fair today with the telephone companies if the tele- phone companies will only have the good sense to stop their fighting, and give the people the service they want.—Morris Tribune. SCHOOL AID FUND -~ QUOTAS REDUCED Owing to the increase in the num- ber of high and graded schools giving instruction in agriculture, madnual training and domestic science, there- by qualifying for a share of the spe- cial aid fund voted ‘by the legisla- ture, the individual schools will re- ceive only 70 per cent of what the legislators intended and the schools expected. This announcement by the state high school board will be a disap- pointment to the school authorities, but,.accm‘dlng to Dr. C. G. Schulz, superintendent of education, it can- not be helped at present. The board ‘will meet Tuesday in the state capi- tol to apportion $1,800,000 to schools listed for the year 1915-16. E. M. Phillips, high school inspec- tor, recommends 221 high schools as entitled to aid during the current year and lists 226 for next year. R. B. MacLean. g!'aded school inspector, recommends 241 for the ‘present year and 255 for next year. “The last legislature made im- portant changes in the law relating to the annual aid to high and graded schools, industrial aid and training aid,” says Mr. Schulz. “Beginning with next year, each high school will receive $1,800 instead of $2,200. Each graded school will get $600 in- stead of $750. “High and graded schools will re- EOPLE with nerves shattered by overwork or over- worry,are often led into doping themselves with “tonics,” alcoholic stimu- lants or . habit-forming drugs.

Restricting Garage Locations, A section of ai ordinance in force in a suburb of Chicago reads: “It~shall not be lawful for any person or corpo-, ration to locate, build, construct -or maintain in the village of Oak Park, on any site where two-thirds of the buildings within a radius of 500 feet of the proposed site are used exclu- sively for residence purposes, & build- ing for a public garage * * * without written consent of a majority of the property owners, according to front- age, within a radius of 500 feet of the proposed site of the building.” In a decision lately handed down by the supreme court- of Illinois in the case of People versus Village of Oak Park, 107, Northeastern Reporter 636, the validity of this regulation was sus- tained as constituting a valid exercise of the police power of a municipality. It was further held that the ordinance applies to garages which were in ex- istence when the ordinance was-pass- ed, and hence does not discriminate against those sought to be established afterward: Clean Up and Paint Upl A little fresh paint and the vigorous use of the scrub brush make morals cleaner.

IF KIDNEYS ACT BAD TAKE SALTS Bays Backache is a sign you hn;e been eating too much meat, which forms uric acid. : ‘When you wake up with backache and dull misery in the kidney region it gen- erally means you have been eating too much meat, says a well-known authority. Meat forms uric acid which overworks the kidneys in their effort to filter it from the blood and they become sort of paralyzed and loggy. When your kidneys get sluggish and clog you must relieve them, like you relieve your bowels; re- moving all the body’s urihous waste, elsa you have backache, sick headache, dizzy spells; your stomach sours, tongue is coated, and when the weather is bad you have rheumatic twinges. The urine is cloudy, full of sediment, channels often get sore, water scalds and you are obliged to scek relief two or three times during the night. Either consult a good, reliable physi: cian at once or get from your pharmacist about four ounces: of Jad Salts; 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 4nd lemon' juice, combined withi lithia, and has: been. used for, generations . to clean and stimulate sluggish Lidneys, also to neutralize acids in the urine so it no longer irritates, thus ending-bladder ‘Weakness.
