The water supply problem, which has long been a much mooted question in Bemidji, bids fair to be solved, and solved soon, and in the proper manner. S We believe it matters to the consumers whether it is in- adequate, obsolete wells at the source of supply or ,whethez: it is an adequate supply of pure, filtered water. The question resolves itself into one of water for the inhabitants of Bemidji and those who are certain to come and increase the size of the city. . ; : The old well system has served its purpose and served- it sufficiently while Bemidji was yet small. The onwiard progress within the past few years justly claims the name “The Magic City.” The village and town days are passed and today Be- midji stands a metropolitan community in every sense of the word, with new improvements accomplished during the ‘“hard times,” such as no other city in the state of Minnesota. The addition of Nymore to Bemidji means that that locality must be supplied with water. The new normal school, being built by the state, demands plenty of water and of the right quantity and quality. That is a state demand and MUST be met. It will mean much to Bemidji, this seat of learning, and it has got to be properly cared for in its requirements, or co-operation on the part of the state will be lacking. With the steps forward will mean greater consumption of water. Bemidji has scolded and muttered under breath its opinion of the water supply, and everybody knows it. The thing to do is to settle it once and for years to come and forget it. The city council has spent several months in investigations, and full test of the old wells by the man who first sunk them. The solution is no nearer now than the summer of last year when consumers were denied the water they desired and willing to pay for. What they did get was hardly fit for household use, and the old slogan “boil the water” seems to be out of place. Bemidji barked its shins on the stumps and roots in what are now the principal business thoroughfares, and not so long .ago at that; with the grubbing of tHe stumps they walked in ankle deep sand and mud; it walked the boards laid on the sidewalks; it used lamps for all lighting purposes; it lived the primitive life of the old frontier forest days. Today she stands a model city in every respect, every pub- lic facility available with the exception of street cars, and she has an excellent_jitney service until “the time comes.” The greatdst asset of a city is its water supply and the time has come when the ‘people of the city must settle this problem in their own favor. O SOUTH BELTRAMI COUNTY FARM BUREAU. The campaign inaugurated in its preliminaries, to be fol- lowed shortly by activity, that has to do with the enlargement of the South Beltrami Farm Bureau membership, is a concerted plan on the part of all farmers and farmer organizations, and County Agricultural Agent A. W. Aamodt is taking a keen interest in the organization and its outlined program. In short, it is an amalgamation of the farmers and their; interests in all that applies to farming and the development of agriculture in South Beltrami. The organization is composed in the main of farmers who are the officers and executives, men who know what is needed and who will work to that end. The women, boys and girls all have their part to play and the general outline has been prepared in printed form, that all may obtain a clear and complete comprehension. The work to do by the farmer is of amazing proportions and it will be of much mutual benefit to all concernea. Every member of the bureau is a unit in the great scheme of farm|® development, intelligently directed by wideake farmers in a manner which should produce wonderful results. It is hoped that every member and every farmer will bg at the first annual meeting of the bureau, which will be held in Bemidji, December 7. 0 THE HEARTHSTONE. 1f you have any sence of porportion—of related values—of anything at all——the U.

S. A. Christmas is the time when the home spirit is most potent within us—or should be. Every block in Bemidji should arouse impulses at this time which could not be stimulated by the sight .of the capitol dome. Sentiment need not blind us to the fact that firms engaged in retail business on these streets are, like the rest of us, prompt- ed in their daily activities by the prospect of commercial profit. But it should count for something with us that it is their life work to study the individual needs of Bemidji people. And the material symbol of the Christmas spirit is that eternal emblem, the Christmas gift. Bemidji merchants, who know many of us by our first nam- es, are the best judges of our habits, tastes and requirements. They have for some time been making their preparations on the basis of what they know about us, and now is the time to apply to them for advice and service.

THE BEMIDJ1 EX-CATTLE KING NOW A PAUPER General Terrazas Once Owned 200,000 Herd and Million Acres in Mexico, STRIPPED OF WEALTH Now He Lives Quietly in El Paso, Tex, Planning Recovery of Estate— Sought Refuge From Bandits. El Paso, Tex.—Each evening at sun- set an old man with sliver white hair and a snowy beard inay be seen walk- ing aronnd the plaza taking his daily exercise with his two bodyguards. He is Gen, Luls Terrazas, - octoge- nafian exile from Mexico, who lost vir- tually all his great fortune in the revolution of Madero and Villa and now is forced by political conditions in the country to live on the border. When the Madero revolution started in 1911 “Don Louls” was known as the cattle king of Mexico. His herds num. bered more than 200,000 head and grazed on a thousand hills and plains of northern Mexico. His estates stretched from the Rio Grande to Chil- huahua-City and he could ride for 24 hours by train over his own acres, which ‘then numbered more than A million, Big Business Interests. From his offices in the’ state ‘capital General Terrazas governed this vast cattle empire, conducted a bank and many other industries connected with his cattle business. ‘He and his large family lived in luxury in the marble palace on the Alamada or at Quinta Carolina, his summer home on the plains, Train'after train of cattle ar- rived at the border from the Terrazas ranches.

The revolutionists under Madero, Orozco and other leaders killed the Terrazas cattle for food, burned his ranch buildings and looted his stores and warehouses. Then Francisco Villa, ncting as commander in the north for General Carranza, issued a decree con- fiscating all -of the Terrazas holdings, including the herds, lands and personal property. General Terrazas was forced to flee from Mexico before Villa's ad- vance on Chthuahua City from Juarez. e made the long trek to the border at Ojinaga with the fleeing federal col- umn. He never returned to Mexico. July 22 last General Terrazas cele- brated his eighty-ninth birthday an- niversary, surrounded by his ten sons, seventy-five grandchildren and many more relatives.. He maintains an office downtown, where he attends to his pri- vate business daily and keeps in close touch with ecattlp and market condl- tions. - It is his dream to be permitted to return: to his mative land with suffi- clent guarantees to allow him to begin over again to re-establish the Terrazas fortune.

Barker‘s Drug Store HOW TO FIGHT SPANISH INFLUENZA By Dr. L. W. Bowers. . Avoid crowds, coughs and cowards, but fear neither germs nor Germans! Keep the 'system in good order, take plenty of exercise in the fresh air and practice cleanliness. Remember a clean mouth, a clean skin, and clean against disease. To keep .the liver and bowels regular and to carry away the poisons within, it is best to take a vegetable pill ~every other day, ‘made up of May-apple, aloes, jalap, and sugar-coated, to be had at most den onset of what appears like a hard cold, one should go to bed, wrap warm, take a hot mustard foot-bath and drink-copiously of hot lemonade. If pain develops in head or back, ask the, druggist for Anuric (anti-uric) tablets. These will flush the bladder and kidneys and carry off poisonous germs. To control the - pains and aches take one Anuric tablet every two hours, with frequent drinks of lemonade. The pneumonia appears in a~-most treacherous way, when the influenza victim is apparently recov- ering an anxious to leave his bed. In recovering from a bad attack of influenza or pneumonia the system should be built up with a good herbal tonic, such as Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical ‘Discovery, made without al- cohol from the roots and barks of American forest trees, or his Irontic (iron" tonic) ‘tablets, which can be obtained at most drug stores, or send 1¢c to Dr. Pierce’s Invalids’ Hotel, Buffalo, N.

When you wake up with backache and dull misery in the kidney region it generally 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.pamlyzed and loggy. When your kidneys get sluggish and clog you must relieve them, like you relieve your bowels; removing all the body’s urinons waste, else 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 scaids and you are obliged to seek relief two or three times during the night. 4 Either consult a good, reliable phi- sician at once or get from your phar- macist 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 and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for generations to clean and stimulate sluggish kidneys, also to nentralize acids in the urine so it ro longer irritates, thus ending bladder weakness.
