CUTICURA GROWS HAIR. Scalp Cleared of Dandruff and Hair Restored by One Box of ‘Cuticura and One Cake of Cuticura Soap. A. W. Taft of Independence, Va., writing under date of Sept. 15, 1904, says: “I have had falling hair and dandruff for twelve years and could get nothing to help me. Finally I bought one box of Cuticura Ointment and one cake of Cuticura Soap, and ‘they cleared my scalp of the dandruff and stopped the hair falling. Now my hair is growing as Well as ever. I am highly pleased with Cuticuré Soap as a toilet soap. (Signed) A. W. Taft, Independence, Va.” They. always talk who never ‘think, and who have least to say.—Prior. Billion Dollar Graas, ‘When the John A. Salzer Seed Co., of La Crosse, Wis., introduced this remark- able grass three years ago, little did they; dream it would be the most talked of grass in America, the biggest, quick, hay pro- ducer on earth, but this has come to pass. Agricultural Editors wrote about it, } Agr. College Professors lectured about it, a Institute Orators talked about it, while in the farm home by the quiet fire- side, in the corner grocery, in the village post-office, at the creamery, at the depot, in fact wherever farmers gathered, Salzer’s Billion Dollar Grass; tint marvelous grass, ee for 5 to 14 tons hay per acre and ots of pasture besides, is always a theme worthy of the farmer’s voice. Then comes Bromus Inermis, then which there is no better grass or better perma- nent hay producer on earth. Grows wher- ever soil is found. Then the farmer talks about Salzer’s Teosinte, which produces 100 stocks from one kernel of seed, 11 ft. high, in 100 days, rich in nutrition and greedily eaten by cattle, hogs, etc., and is good for 80 tons of green food per acre. Victoria Rape, the luxuriant food for hogs and sheep, which can be grown at 25¢ a ton, and Speltz at 20c a bu., both great food for sheep, hogs and cattle, also come in for their share in the discussion.

Swedish Demands Which Caused the Break. It has developed from the official records of the joint councij of state that the negotiations over the con- sular question stranded on the de- mands of the Swedish ministry for control over the Norwegian consuls. The Norwegian ministry answered that the demands must be stricken out, which demand was denied, and all negotiations théreupon ceased. The demands were briefly that the Swedish minister of foreign affairs should approve of the applications for positions in the Norwegian consular service; that in the consuls’ diplomas the king should be entitled “the king of Sweden and Norway;” that the management should not issue orders to the consuls contrary to instructions | from the Swedish foreign minister in certain diplomatic matters; that the diplomatic service (under Swedish control) should have the right to sus- pend Norwegian consuls in .certain cases; that the joint consular service should be retained where Norway has no separate consuls and in states not represented by diplomatic officials; that the foreign minister may take of- ficial notice of the improper conduct of Norwegian consuls and report the same in joint ministry for considera- tion. The Norwegian council of state re- jected all the proposals as opposed to the Norwegian constitution, the basis on which the negotiations were begun, and Norway’s position as a sovereign state. In the meantime Norway has not taken any final steps to establish her own consular service. There is no par- ticular hurry, and reforms are often better carried out when calmly con- sidered. With the whole people re- gardless of party behind it, the Nor- wegian ministry will not hesitate when all is in readiness to announce the establishment of a separate con- sulate. It is idle to talk of war between the two countries ,as many American pa- pers are doing. That Norway will se- cede from the nation is also extremely unlikely. No threats are heard in Sweden, and no defiance is-uttered in Norway. It is very possible that the majority of the Swedish people admit the justice of the Norwegian position —at least they do not care enough about it to go to war. The whole matter is at present in the hands of a committee of the Nor- wegian storthing of nineteen members —eight gonservatives, eight liberals, two moderates and one socialist, all party groups being thus represented. Danish Views. Valtyr Gudmundsson of Copenhagen university, in an article on the crisis on the Seandinavian peninsula, says that a speedy settlement of the union question is desirable, as the issue can not be disregarded, and any solution is better than the continued strife. The constant friction has had an unfor- tunate influence on the relations be- tween the two nations and is a hin- drance to economic and cultured de- velopment of the three Scandinavian countries which would be a great ad- vantage to all if aJlowed to reach its highest stage. Prof. Matzen and Hr. Nyholm, two of the highest authorities ,|on international law, agree that the Norwegian position is in full accord with the act of 1815 and other agree- ments. ‘NOTABLES PASS AWAY. Death Claims Many Distinguished ‘ Swedes This Year. , Many Swedish notables have passed away this year, among them Count Magnus de la Gardie, governor of Kristianslad’s lan; Prof. Knut Hjalmar Stolpe, director of the ethnographic museum in Stockholm; S. .D. K. Olive- erona, formerly justice counsellor, member of the riksdag and supreme court. The latter was 88 wears old. Count de la Gardie was a member of one of the noblest of Swedish fam- ilies, and showed it in his stately car- riage. He entered the diplomatic serv- ice in 1868 and held important posi- tions at London, Berlin and Copenha- gen. Prof. Stolpe was a noted scientist and was a member of the “Venadis” expedition in 1883-85. With Prof. Rutzies he organized the Swedish anthropological society. A Soldier Gone. Lieut. Gen. Karl August Hansen, in- spector general for the Norwegian army, @ied in Christiania on Feb. 4, just two weeks after his promotion from major general. He entered the army in.1862 as second lieutenant, and was advanced from time to time, reaching the rank of major general in 1894. Gen. Hansen was a recognized authority on military science, and particularly of the engineering branch. Gift by Thamas. W. W. Thomas, United States minis? ter to Sweden and “Norway, has pur- .| chased the Swedish building at the St. Louis fair and presented it to Bethany college at Lindsborg, Kan. The build- ing represented an old-fashioned coun- try home of the better class and the plain structure attracted much atten- tion at the fair through its unusual appearance. It was built in Sweden, taken down and set up again at St. In Far Northland. MAY GO TO SWEDEN. The Nobel Peace Prize Hardly Likely to Go to America. Skandinaven, in commenting on a petition of 200 members of congress to the Norwegian storthing to award the Nobel peace prize to Congressman Barthold of St. Louis for his services in behalf of international peace, inti- mates that if the prize comes to Amer- ica it is more likely to go to President Roosevelt than to Congressman, Bar- tholdt. The latter’s services are thor- oughly appreciated in Norway, but the prize for this year is more likely to go to one of the foremost champions of the peace movement in Sweden or to Baroness Bertha von Sutner of Ger- many, whose name has often been mentioned in connection with the awards. Oldest Man in Norway. Johannes Larsen Rystad of Berge, in Lofoten, is conceded to be the old- est man in Norway. He was born to- ward the end of 1799 and has thus seen three centuries. In spite of his 105 1-2 years he is able to do some work about his little farm. His hearing is good and he reads print without the aid of glasses. Rystad was born near Ber- gen, but sought his northern home as a young man and has lived there ever since. Disastrous Storms. The whole coast of Norway was vis- ited by a hurricane on Jan. 28-29. Much damage was done to shipping, many vessels being driven ashore and wrecked, but happily no lives were lost. The papers teem with stories of narrow escapes and heroic rescues. Considerable damage was done to puildings on shore. Damage is re- ported from Hamar, Kongsberg, Svol- vaer, Bodoe, Stavanger and many oth- er places. Hares Multiply Rapidly. German hares imported into the province of Scania, Sweden, have sus- tained their reputation for multiplying rapidly. Although only ten years in the country, they long ago became ac- climated, and in many places are fully as numerous as_ the Swedish hares, while in other provinces they have driven their Swedish cousins to the woods. At the past rate of in- crease they will soon become a pest. Scientist Dead. Prof. S. F. C. V. Stein, a noted Danish chemist, died at Copenhagen Feb. 1, at the age of 69 years. He es- tablished in 1867 the famous Stein an- alytical chemical laboratory, in which he worked with energy and _ intelli- gence for the practical advancement of his chosen science. He was a son of the late Dr. S. A. V. Stein, a noted anatomist and physician. Hands Across the Sea. A Swedish-American organization has been formed in Gothenborg, Swed- en. with the name of the “Svensk- Amerikanska Sallskapet,” for the pur- pose of maintaining relations between Sweden and the people of Swedish de- scent in America. Among the mem- bers of the directory are Otto Elander and Dr. Elander, former residents of Minneapolis. @opper on the Boundary. Two Swedish engineers are reported to have located immense copper depos- its at Hatfjeld, on the boundary of Sweden and Norway, and extending a considerable distance into Sweden. They were in the employ of Consul Persson of Helsingborg. There is talk of a stock company and an ore road to the new fields Esbjerg is the first city in Denmark to qome under the control of Social- ists. At a recent election of the town council the Socialists elected twelve of the nineteen members. The party is most active all over Denmark and predict that they will soon add a num- ber of other cities to the list. Edward Greig, who was compelled to take to his bed while passing through Copenhagen, is still reported as ill. There is no intimation that his condition is critical, but his long con- tinued illmess without marked im. provement. is a subject of much con- cern among his friends. Mate Henningsen of the Swedish schooner Jonne, sailing from Norr- Poping, Sweden, to Denmark, was the only survivor when the vessel struck on a reef and was wrecked. He is a Norwegian and has been shipwrecked eight times, but has no desire to give up his hazardous life. Hr. Dahn created some surprise in the second chamber of the Swedish riksdag by a motion for amending the act relating to the foreign department so that Norwegians would be eligible for minister and other official positions in the department. 7 New President in Folkething. A. Thomsen has been elected presi- dent of the Danish folkething to suc- ceed President Trier, who resigned im- mediately after the change in the min- istry. The latter was re-elected on Jan. 30 by a vote of 61 out of 96, but there were 35 blank ballots ,and he refused to remain in office without the full confidence of the house. On the day following Hr. Thomsea was elect- ed with 58 votes to 41 blanks. Anders Nielsen was elected vice president. ; He Knew It All. _ Here is the exact answer of a New York schoolboy to the questions “What is the meaning of the word ‘hall;’ how many other words are there that sound like ‘hall,’ and what are their mean- ings?” “Hall, where you open the dore and go in; hawl, hawling along a boy that won’t go to skool; aul, what the shoe- makker chargis you 25 sents for to aul your shoe; all, all, everybody in the wurld.”—Success.

Halo, Ind., Feb. 27th.—(Special.)— If what will cure Diabetes will cure any form of Kidney Disease, as so many physicians say, then Dodd’s Kidney Pills will cure any form of Kidney Disease. For Mrs. L. C. Bow- ers of this place has proved that Dodd's Kidney Pills will cure Dia- betes. “I had Diabetes,” Mrs. Bowers says, “my teeth all became loose and part of them came out. I passed a great deal of water with such burning sen- sations I could hardly bear it. I lost about 40 pounds in weight. I used many medicines and doctored with two local doctors but never got any better till I started to use Dodd’s Kidney Pills. They cured me so com- pletely that in three years I have had no return of the disease. I am a well woman’now, thanks to Dodd's Kidney Pills.” Dodd’s Kidney Pills cure all kidney ailments from Backache to Bright's Disease. Cure your backache with them and you will never have Bright’s Disease, Diabetes or Rheumatism. There is an inmost center in us all, where truth abides in fullness.— Browning. when others have failed. THE OLD FOLKS AT HOME Are Never Without Pe-ru-na in the Home For Remarkable Cures Effected By Peeru-na. Under date of January 10, 1897, Dr. Hartman received the following letter: “My wife has been a sufferer from a complication of diseases for the past twenty-five years. Her case has bafiled the skill of some of the most noted phy- sicians. One of her worst troubles was chronic constipation of several years’ standing. She wasalso passing through that most critical period in the life of a woman—change of life. “In June, 1895, T wrote to you about her case. You advised a course of Peruna and Manalin, which we at once commenced, and have to say it com- pletely cured her. “About the same time I wrote you about my own case of catarrh, which had been of twenty-five years’ standing. At times I was almost past going. ' commenced to use Peruna according to your instructions aud continued its use for about a year, and it has com- pletely cured me.’’—John O. Atkinson. In a letter dated January 1, 1900, Mr. Mand MRS, » SCHWANDT) anborn, A\ Minn, Atkinson says, after five years’ experi- ence with Peruna, «1 will ever continue to speak a good word for Peruna. I am still cured oi catarrh.’’—John O. Atkinson, iInde- pendence, Mo., Box 272. Mrs. Alla Schwandt, Sanborn, Minn., writes: «I have been troubled with rheuma- tism and catarrh for twenty-five years. Could not sleep day or night. After having used Peruna I can sleep ana nothing bothers me now. If] ever am affected with any kind of sickness, Peruna will be the medicine I shali use. My son was cured of catarrh of the larynx by Peruna.’’—Mrs. Alla Schwandt. When old age! comes, catarrhal dis- eases come also. Systemic catarrh is almost universal in old people. Address Dr. 8. B.
