IS NO LONGER TOY CENTER @erman City of Nuremberg Has Lost the Monopoly It Had Held 8o Many Years. The first consignment of Christ- mas toys from Germany reached England in December, and re- calls, through the mist of the war, the time when German toys were a feature of every toy shop window, says London Answers. The town of Nuremberg, indced, throve largely on its toys and unless the industry is revived hundreds of Hanses snd Gretchens will have to give up mak- ing spotted animals and toy trains and take to some other occupation instead. Nuremberg is up against the stift- est proposition it has ever had to face, Will it return to its ancient position as the great, picturesque center of the toy industry, or is it irrevocably doomed ? Quite apart from the prejudices of war, new competitors have sprung up. Our own toy industry has be- come very active, America is busy and_ the ubiquitous Jap is making & serious bid for first place. All the new German toys are not warlike, but some of them are, and it seems strange to see toy battle- ships and armored cars bearing the label “made in Germany.” -Prefer- able, however, to the real thing! @ Reliable information. An -American tourist recently visited the anclent clty of Chester, and was startled by the loud clanging of the fire alarm bell. Seelng others runm, he ran, too, and presently found himself one of a crowd gathered to witness the departure of the fire engines. In a short time the engines dashed out of the yard and disappeared down the street in & whirl of dust and smoke. With a vlew to gathering informa- tion, the tourist addressed himself to . a man in the crowd: “Say, wister, I suppnse in an old place like this containing so many timber-fronted houses, you often have a fire?” . f “Pretty often,” assented the man. ! “How often, now, does a fire occur?” asked the American. “Every time that bell rings,” replied the man, nodding towards the bell- tower.—London Tit-Blts. . P R «Be Sure You Are Right” “The vital thing In achlevement is & fixed goal backed up by & loyal will. It's easy to do a thing after you have been convinced of its justice. Half the battle Is finding out just what you ought fo do, and making up your mind to do it. When you are committed to a task you feel no peace until you ve gone your limit toward fits achievement. The wise thing to do is to make sure that what you think of doing adds to the general progress you intend to make. “Be sure you are right” is more than a commonplace. It's a fundamental in the great worth while. Make haste as fast as you can, but continually remind yourself that wou want to be sure which way you're headed.—-Exchange. Bemidji Testimony Remains Unshaken Time is the best test of truth. Here is a Bemidji story that has stood the test of time. It is a story with a point which will come straight home to many of. us. Mrs, Henry Revor, Fourteenth St. and Park Ave., says: “I suf- fered from backache for a week at a time and it seemed as if nothing would give me any relief. A few boxes of Doan’s Kidney Pills, how- ever, made me feel like another person. Kidney trouble is now a thing of the past with me.” AFTER A LAPSE OF SEVEN YEARS, Mrs. Revor said: “Since recommending Doan’s Kidney Pills a number of years ago I have had no further need to use them as the cure they gave me is permanent.” Price 60c, at all dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that Mrs. Revor had. Foster-Milburn Co., Mfrs., Buffalo, N. Y.

This gas would also get up around my heart and cause such pains and pressure that I could hardly breathe. After these sick spells my head would ache and hurt so bad I could not bear to comb my hair. I I attempted a little work about the house I would get so nervous, weak and dizzy, that I would simply have to give up, and it was really a burden for me to look after my three little children. I could not get a good nap of sleep more than once in.two or three weeks. Many a day I spent most of the time in bed and no kind of medi- cine seemed to do me one bit of good. In fact, I kept getting weaker and My stomach condition that I could not eat any-|was so despondent that I had little thing without suffering agony. If I wentured to eat anything the !E:t hope of getting well. rBut Tanlac has relieved me of all that misery and I am now feeling just as strong and well as I ever did in my life. There is no kind of food but what I can eat without the least trouble from it and my appetite is so good that I can hardly satisfy it. When I began taking Tanlac I only weighed one hundred and sixteen pounds, but I now weigh one hundred and forty-two, making an actual gain of twenty-six pounds, and am able to do all my work, house cleaning and everything, with ease. My com- plexion was yellow before I took Tan- lac, but now the color has come back to my cheeks and my friends are talking about how healthy and well I look. I can never pay the debt of gratitude I owe Tanlac and words can’t express my appreciation for what it has done for me.” Tanlac is sold in Bemidji by City | Drug Store and by the leading drug- gists in every town. - Steady em- |- Subscribe for the Pioneer.
