OPFPIOLAL COUNTY AND CITY EROCEEDINGS BEMIDJI HUMANITARIANS ARE CHAGRINED. . Bemidji patriots, many of them, feel not a little chagrined over the situation at Cloquet, where many of Bemidji’s ener- getic citizens have taken a personal active part in the relief of the plague stricken victims now in the school house, which has been turned into an improvised hospital, the building being spared by the flames. - With the break of the terrible holocaust, Bemidji rose to the spirit of the cry and immediately gathered, grouped and packed one of the most complete shipments of clothing for men, women, children and-infants, all of the highest class and asked for shippinlg orders. The answer was to wait. Presently, about a week after, printed instructions were received which in- _cluded the unpacking of the shipment, disinfecting etc etc. '‘And the shipment is still here. The Bemidji hospital corps of the twenty-first home guard battalion and battlion members were the first to go to Cloquet when the epidemic broke. - The men of the corps attended to even the care and needs of the women and children patients in the improvided hospital. ~Volunteer nurses later left for the scene. Heroically the corps worked as the patients mounted. They 4dttended to every want and need. Clothing for the sick was as scarce as Portuguese bibles in the Sahara desert and in several instances was improvised. Towels, even a cloth and other necessaries, were as scarce. Sick bed attire was lack- ing. Of course the situation could not be met in a minute, but the boxes of clean wholesome attire and bed equipment still holds its place in & vacant store room of Bemidji, waiting to do its share when needed in an emergency. We place no credit for this condition. Bemidji stands ready to go to the rescue for this condition. Bemidji stood ready to go to the rescue of these unfortunates. But the supply of red tape still held out. 0 BEMIDJI VOTERS SHOW RIGHT SPIRIT. Beltrami county nobly supported the state candidates who wear the stamp of loyalty, and Burnquist found a hearty in- dorsement of his past administration. Congresman Knutson also received the seal of approval of the voters of Beltrami county and so did State Senator L. H. Nord, both of whom deserved their re-election. Ed. Rako was given strong indorsement by his Bemidji friends and caried the city handsomely. : In-the county commisionership, of which Beimidji is the - major portion, Ed. Paulson won. The loyal candidates of the state all received substantial majorities ‘and on the “wet” and “dry” amendment, Bemidji voted heavily in favor of its adoption. S | W ' COUNTING OF BALLOTS TEDIOUS OPERATION. Bemidji's precinct count dragged throughout election night and far into the next day. Some of the pdecincts started the count on the state ticket and some on the county. The polls closed at 9 o’clock and the lunch hour also occupied its space of time. It was a slow process on account of the number of candidates and the state and county ballots. N The county precincts commenced to report during the morning following the election and over half the county was in by evening, with more following today, a hard task being well done. B ‘Add horror of war: The price of singing canaries has advanced from about two or three dollars to ten and twelve dollars each. . However, when you have once bought your little songster you do not have to pay any war tax to listen to his music. ey The most ‘distressing incident of the county election was that Editor “Bill” Noonan of the Baudette Region was confined to his room with the Spanish “flu.” Election time and election day is Editor Noonan’s greatest pastiming. e ) The people who have been seeking for years to reduce ought to be very much obliged to Mr. Hoover for each succes- sive set of his rules. Reducing is now an involuntary rather than a voluntary matter. ———0 Politics may have been adjourned for the duration of the war, but this is not true of statemanship. Congress please take notice.

NEm®. oocsvivnis R R LR R DELIGHTED IN HIS FREEDOM Youngster's Chief Enjoyment of Va. cation Came From His Defiance of All Conventionalities. The best sort of vacation and the only kind that really is a benefit to the one taking it, according to Lewis Welsenberger, Is the one on which all conventional rules of conduct are broken. To enjoy a vacation one must do absolutely as he pleases, Mr. Wel- senberger continues. In proof of this contention Mr. Wel- genberger tells the following story on a young lad with whom he hibernated in the wilds of Michigan for several weeks this summer. g The campers had taken a large sup- ply of towels with them, as bathing was expected to feature the holiday events. On arrival at camp each mem- ber of the vacation party received his apportionment of the towels and the lad was duly included In the division. On the second day of the vacation week Mr. Welsenberger was surprised to find the young lad's supply of towels packed securely away in one corner of the cottage, thus far un- touched. He Immediately summoned the lad and finquired whose towels he had been using, since his own sup- ply was undiminished.” He was not a little taken back by the 1ad’s reply: “Aw, 1 didn't wash my face yester- day.” Even with face unwashed and tow- els. untouched, the young barbarian probably enjoyed the vacation trip more than did any other member of the party, Mr. Welsenberger says. And the reason for the lad’s enjoy- ment, he believes, is the fact that he violated all rules of personal etiquette and lived one entire day with his face innocent of ablutions.—Indianapolis News. Anclent_Cameo_ Sold. " Probably executed for that patron of the arts, the Roman emperor Hadrian, »a superb cameo of the head of Medusa, wonderfully carved from a boss of translucent chalcedony, was sold at auction here, recently, bringing 1,75( guineas (about $8,750). It was a classic reminder of a classic sale, for it form- ed part of the incomparable Marl borough gems which realized, en bloc, 35,000 guineas in June, 1875, ‘passing to the late David Bromilow, of Battles- ilen Park. The collection was formed by George, third duke of Marlbhorough, and comprised gems which had belong- ed to such famous connoisseurs as Thomas Howard, earl of Arundel; Wil- liam, second earl of Bessborough, and Philip Dormer, earl of Chesterfleld.— London Telegraph. Aerial Compasses. Many difficulties had to be over come in the production of & satisfac- tory compass for aerlal work, ,Chief among these was that of neutralizing the magnetism of the engine (and in particular the magneto), and of pre- venting the effect of centrifugal force, which caused the card or dial inside the compass to swing in a direction quite Independent of north- when the airplane was banking on a. turn.

BACKACHY OR KIDNEYS BOTHER Eat Less Meat, Also Take Glass of Salts' Before Eat- ing Breakfast Uric acid in meat excites the kid- neys, they become overworked; get sluggish, ache, and feel like lumps of lead. The urine becomes cloudy; the bladder is irritated, and you may be obliged to seek relief two or three times during the night. When the kidneys clog you must help them flush "| off the body’s urinous waste or you’ll be a real sick person shortly. At first you feel a dull misery in the kidney region, you suffer from backache, sick headache, dizziness, ‘stomach gets sour, tongue coated and you feel rheumatic twinges when the weather is bad. Eat less meat, drink lots of water; also get from any pharmacist four ounces of Jad Salts; take a table- spoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This fam- ous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for generations to-clean clogged kidneys and stimulate them to normal activ- ity, also to neutralize the acids in urine, so it no longer is a source of irritation, thus ending bladder weak- ness. Jad Salts is inexpensive, cannot injure; makes a delightful efferves- cent lithia-water drink which every- one should take now and then to keep the kidneys clean and active. Drug- ists here say they sell lots of Jad lts to folks who believe in over- coming kidney trouble while it is only other simple drugs.
