T T e e GOVERNMENT SHOULD FIX PRICES The cost of living is becoming intolerable. Upon even the flimsiest excuse prices of foodstuffs are raised, and if no excuse exists they are boosted on general principles. Millions of people who are dependent up- on their daily labor find it almost impossible to keep soul and body to- gether. In hundreds of thousands of cases their vitality is slipping away from pure lack of sufficient nourishment. Yet in the very face of this the tiable food speculators and profit grabbers are turning the screws tighter every day. There appears to be but one way in which this sucking of the blood of humanity can be stopped, and that is for the government to take prompt action and fix a minimum price at which every article of food is to be sold, and in fixing the maximum the price should be first scheduled down to normal. The fact that a scarcity in foodstuffs exists should not be ac- cepted as an excuse for allowing prices to remain at their present out- rageous figures. And the same action should be taken with reference to every article of necessity that we use. NORD TALKS OF “I. W. W. BILL” “I realize that the measure to control lawlessness and interference with the industries of Minnesota, as passed by the legislature, is, perhaps, a little drastic, but I don't believe there is a judge in the state but who would be fair in any matter which would involve the provisions of the bill,” said Senator Nord in a brief- interview with the editor of the Pioneer yesterday. And in thus expressing himself, Senator Nord, who was the father of the “I. W. W. bill,” is right in his belief. We are of the same opinion. Any one who is willing to attend to his own affairs and conducts himself as a good and law abiding citizen of Minnesota has nothing to fear from the measure or any other measure calculated to deal with law violators. BUT WHAT ABOUT THE PEOPLF.? In yesterday’s Pioneer appeared a dispatch from Washington saying that Eastern railroads pleaded with the interstate coramerce commission for an increase of 15 per cent in freight rates, stating that the roads were not able to earn anything and that past earnings had been absorbed. If the interstate commerce commission would run some of those roads through a wringer and squeeze some of the water out we believe the roads could get along fairly well. Nearly everybody else in the country is get- ting bumped and taking their medicine and it seems only fair for the wealthy railroad stockholders to stand a little of the same gaft for awhile. So federal investigators found where fifteen individuals and concerns each got their “bit” out of ome food contract. Well! Well! Well! What if they did? Nobody is exhibiting any undue excitement over the “startling discovery.” And it is quietly hinted that right here in Bemidji and vicinity agents of certain huge corporations are buying up stocks and mobilizing them in warehouses and available storage places. Why, is an easy supposition. We wonder what prompts a certain large packing concern to send agents up into this part of the country and take looks around and after- wards place orders for apples and canned goods. We merely wonder. We have received very confidential advices to the effect that there’s also going to be a mosquito fleet on Lake Bemidji this summer. God pities and Satan despises a slacker. Heaven don’t want them and hell won't have them. Farm or arm—fight or produce. We notice in an exchange where it states ‘“wasting loqgl is a sin.” You bet it is and that’s just why we're growing wings. One serious defect is noticeable in the selective draft law. have included food speculators and the idle rich. It should Put the prize fighters in the army. Their strong arms would be valuable in paring spuds. Uncle*Sam’s gun may be slow to fire, but it has a power(u_l reach once it does let go. “No work, no eat,” is the slogan. “Sir, the United States are present or accounted for!” Equal rights and equal fights for all!

Poisonous matter and utic acid accumulate within the body in great abundance, over-working the sick kidneys, hence the congestion of blood causes backaehe in the same manner as a bimilar con- tion in the head causes headache. g:u become nervous, despondent, sick, feverish, irritable, have spots appearinj before the eyes, bags under the lids, an lack ambition to do things. . “The latest and most effective means of overcoming this trouble, is to eat spar- ingly of meat, drink plenty water be- tween meals and take a smlflie Anuric tablet before each meal for a while,” says the famous Dr. Pierce of Buffalo, N. Y. Simply ask_your favorite druggist for Anuric if you have lumbago, rheumatism, gout, dropsy, begin imm iately with this novel treatment. WOMEN OF MINNESOTA.
