OPFICIAL COUNTY AND CITY PROCEEDINGS THIS PART STATE WELL REPRESENTED. f 13 1{ i / i Representative-Elect Rako left last night for St. Paul to take up his new duties as the repregentative of Beltrami county in the state legislature, and it is confidently believed he will give a good account of his administration in behalf of his home county and state in general. This part of the state is represented in the legislature by an unusually capable and high class set of officials, including Mr. Rako. The district senator is L. H. Nord of International Falls, re-elected, who represents Koochiching and Beltrami counties, and Representative-Elect McPartlin of Koochiching is also an International Falls man. Senator P. H. McGarry, known to every man, woman and child in this part of the state, again takes his seat. He and Senator Nord are a strong team when it comes down to get’ging something for their district and are always found on the right side in state affairs. They are strong for Bemidji and Beltrami county and the fact is gratefully recognized. i Mr. Rako can be depened to team up with his colleagues from this part of the state and much good should be the result. ———0) THE CONDITION OF RUSSIA. What few glimpses we get through the cloud which veils Russia from the western peoples, show us a scene of utter con- fusion. They reveal a nation tossed in revolution, all its orderly life at an end. Itis a mighty people given over to cold, starva- tion, cruel military domination. In eastern Russia there is scarcely food or clothing to be had at any price. Siberia is better off for food, but its trans- portation is impossible, as the trans-Siberian railroad has been worn and neglected to such an extent that it is well nigh useless. At the time of the Russian revolution the country was not ripe for democracy. A true democracy implies the ability of self-government, and that the illiterate hordes of Russia had had no opportunity to gain. There was no available halting place between autocracy and red anarchy. The allies will not be doing their duty unless they take some measures for helping Russia to food and fuel, to an oppor- tunity for general education and to a settled government. 0. LOOKING HOPEFUL. Just when we thought we were cured of the railroad habit Bemidji comes along with a plot to knit the M. & I. extension from Kelliher to Baudette, and Congressman Knutson says that the government can be induced to build it. Now we feel a brand new attack coming on.—Baudeétte Region. Come on in, Baudette, and help with the knitting. O THANK YOU. The Bemidji Pioneer came out last week in a three section issue. It was a credit to the publishers and the county seat folks should be congratulated upon the showing made.—Nor- thern News, Spooner. ; - ——0 - Now that peace has come and the nation’s patriots and loyalists are commencing to feel the slackening of war time financial fetters, it should be borne in mind that the people of the nation have yet to meet heavy expense in the adjustment of affairs. By that is not meant that the people of Bemidji must be miserly, but sane saving, reasonably ready for un- expected emergency, or better, unexpected opportunity. 0 In ancient days, if a man who visited the tyrant Procrustes was too long for the “spare bed,” Procrustes calmly had him cut down to fit it. It is fortunate for President Wilson that he goes a-visiting in modern times. When the state bed in the French palace where the president lodged proved too short for him they simply sent out and got another bed. . Bt . Bemidji Pioneer is chesty because a local firm handled the wiring on the new normal school. That Bemidji bunch always were good at handling the wires.—Baudette Region. And they don’t try to pick the currents off. 0.

SMITH, M.D. Uric acid is now generally recognized a8 the cause of more diseases than was heretofore believed. ‘When the kidneys are out of order uric acid accumulates within the body in super abundance, .The digordered kidneys do mot filter the poisons out of the blood, as they ought to do, and &o the poisons remain in the blood and float around until they find a place to lodge, in form of urate salts. The thing to remember is that you may have rheunmatism in any part of the body—you may have pains anywhere — your back may ache and your head may be dizzy - but the trouble is not where the pain appears. The trouble is in the kidneys, and what is the first thing to do? You must get that excess urie acid out of you: system, which can be dene by takinp Anuric Tablets, the splendid remed: which Dr. Pierce, of Bufialo, N. Y. has put on sale in the drug stores = a low price. Anuric Tablets (mads double strength), when taken into il system as medicine, have the peculin: power of dissolving the uric acid de- posited there. Drop a bit of sugar or salt into hot water, and it will dis- appear. In precisely the same way do these Anuric Tablets dissolve uric acid. Of course, after ridding the system of uric acid, it may return again unless you eat the right foods and live the right kind of life, but Dr. Pierce will advise you fully on proper food and correct living if you write and ask him. He makes no charge for such advice. Anuric Tablets to-day, by all mea and ger that uric acid out of your ter Don’t, don’t, don’t, pur the matter off. Big line, easy sales.| price, full particulars.

Dangerous as they are, colds are not difficult to avoid if you e | | keep yourself in condition to resist them. If your blood is healthy, rich and red, free from poisons : constipation creates; it will be mighty hard for colds to fasten upon-you. But if food-waste is allowed to lie in the bowels it ferments, creating dangerous poisons which are absorbed into l{/the blood and carried to all parts of the body. The kidneys, | lungs and skin pores are busy trying to get rid of these poisons {|and colds have a free field. - ’ Your druggist has a new product called SALINOS which will completely empty the digestive system, including the lower bowels, where most poisons are formed. It is taken in cold water, is pleasant in taste and pleasant in action. Get a bottle for a Quarter (large sizes Fifty cents and a Dollar). Take it tomorrow morning.

CAMFIELD F. S. GREGORY OOR RICHARD said: “A saw isa good thing, but not to shave with.” everything, and to beat. : Perhaps it would not be betraying any confidence to state here that Con- crete 1s not a howling success as a table relish, but as a building material it 1s a wonder. 5.3 So, it seems, there is some good in Concrete in its particular line 1s hard In the various buildings of the Pan Motor Plant there are 228,- 625 cubic feet of Concrete, which is a whole lot of concrete, and gives one a concrete idea of the solidity of the Pan enterprise. This vast amount of Concrete, as well as other building materials and equipment on ‘the Pan premises, was bought and paid for with Pan money. Up to date Over $1,800,000.00 has been invested in buildings,. machinery, material and equipment in the plant of the Pan Motor Company, concrete being only a small but highly important item on the invoice. One thousand tons of structural and rein- forcing steel is another important item; over one miilion two hundred thou- sand brick and tile is another; over two hundred fifty thousand feet of lumber is another; over six hundred sixty thousand square feet of compo- sition roofing is another; eighty-one thousand square feet of cement tile roofing is another; over sixty-seven thousand square feet of steel sash and glass is another, and over seventeen thousand, seven hundred square feet of stucco on metal lath is another. Quite a lot of building material, all in place and all paid for in a little over a year. Speaking of Concrete and solidity, what new company is on a firmer basis than Pan? Its finances, like its buildings, are also on a firm foundation. PAN MOTOR COMPANY - SAINT CLOUD [Pan Town], MINN. e ——— S T S + m—T———— Defective
