The machinery of the body needs to just as the automobile, steam engine or bicycle. Why should the Human neglect his own machinery more than that of his horse or his engine! Yet most peo- ple do meglect themselves. To clean the system at least once a week is to practice preventive measures. You will escape many ills and clear up the coated tongue, the sallow complexion, the dull headache, the lazy liver, if you will take a-pléasant laxative made up of the May-apple, juice of the leaves of aloes, root of jalap, and called Pleasant Pellets. You can obtain at almost any drug store in this country these vegetable pellets in vials for 25c —simply ask for Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets. There can be no_ counterfeit if they have the Dr. R. V. Pierce stamp upon them. Minneapolis, Minn.—“It was hard for me to get around on account of feeling run-down. Often when walking I was suddenly attacked with dizzy spells and terrific headaches. My side pained me so much of the time that it was i - sible for me to take a deep breath with- out suffering misery from the pain. I had incessant backache and throbbing pains through the loins.

The reply, written by W. T. Cox, state forester, was interesting and contains information which might be valuable to others. It was: Applications for a position as forest ranger in the United States forest service should be addressed to The Forester, Washington, D. C. . After passing the federal examination, successful candidates may be appointed rangers on efther of the national forests of Minnesota or some of the na- tional forests in the West. Positions in the Minnesota state forest service are obtained after pass- ing an examination, either at the state capitol or at the headquarters of any of the following district forest rangers: P. W. Swedberg, Moose Lake; Percy Vibert, Cloguet; Hugo C. Nelson, Hibbing; ‘M. J. Thornton, Deq' River; L. F. Johnson, Bemidji; A. E. Pim- ley, Park Rapids; E. A. leier, ‘Warroad; John R. Morris, Baudette; H. H. 'Winslow, Blackduck; Leslfe R. Beatty, Orr; A. B. Gibbs, Tower; P. J. Bayle, Grand Marais. # Applications should be made to The State Forester, St. Paul, Minn. The federal rangers receive from $60 to $126 per month. The -state patrolmen receive from $50 to $80 per month; and the district rangers, who are appointed from experienced men, receive $100 to $116. in the morning my limbs were so sti 1 could hardly get about the house. I was told of Anuric, discovered by Dr. Pierce, so immediately started using it and was soon relieved of the trouble.”— Mzs. May F.

It seems to be just what I need as I am fccling better than I have for years”’— Mgrs. STELLA WILLIAMS, 161 Pleasant St. PAYING OFF GRUDGES The Marion (0.) Tribune has this to say of the fellow who wants to use a newspaper to air personal opinions and pay off grudges: “Here is something you might stick in your hatband: ‘If I owned a newspaper what I would say in it just now would be plenty,’ remarked a man tke other day. “He was invited to write what he wanted to say, with assurance it would be printed if his signature accompanied it. | “He very promptly declined the tender, remarking that it would hurt his business. There are a lot of people anxious for things to be published in newspapers provided they hurt the business of somebody else and not their own. “What newspaper has not had this very same experience with this very same yellow bellied tadpole of a citizen who splutters and splutters about what ought to be printed in a newspaper and what ought to be omitted and set when you invite him to be respo~sible for the manuscr:p* he wants you to publish he whines and wabbles out of the office with a grouch? “That is not all. He writes in that he will stop his paper if you don’{ print what he himself won't sign. Yet if you were to suggest to him that his threat to stop his paper is a pure and simple attempt at coercion he would yowl like a tomecat with its tail stepped on.” A Diamond for Easter A dainty diamond brooch, pend- ant or pin will give your Easter costume that final touch of smartness you desire so much. PATRIOTISM Come into Barker’s and ex- amine diamond jewelry. The stones are pure gems of fine passed a by (Daniel Webster, July 17, 1850.) “I mean to stand upon the Constitution. I need no other platform. I shall know but one country. The ends I aim at shall be my country’s, my God’s, and Truth’s. I was born an American; I live an American; I shall die an American; and I intend to perform the duties incumbent up- on me in that character to the end of my career. I mean to do this with absolute disregard of personal consequences. What are personal conse- quences? What is the individual man, with all the good or evil that may betide him, in comparison with the good or evil which may befall a great country in a crisis like this, and in the midst of great transactions which concern that country’s fate?

Barkc" Jeweler At the patriotic meeting last Saturday evening in the city building 21'7 Third Street when that grizzled color guard of Civil war veterans entered the hall and Thonographs K marched down the aisle there was prolonged applause and cheering. - It was such as they who fought for a united nation in the Civil war and held aloft the flag of the nation, and the person who decries that country which gives him a home and freedom such as nowhere else exists up- on the face of the earth is a coward and a traitor. But it is also recalled that in the Civil war there were just such a stripe termed “copperheads.” History has recorded them. RAILROAD TIME TABLES Southbound No. 12—Arrives...... ..9:45 A. M.
