IT 18 MOST EFFECTIVE. Says It Will: Break Up a Cold in 24 Hours and Cure Any. Cough That is Curable—Inexpensive. A noted authority on diseases of the throat and lungs, who established a camp for consumptives in the Pine ‘Woods of Maine, and whose remark- able cures there have attracted great attention from the medical world, says that his entire treatment consisted of fresh air, nourishing food and the Pure Virgin Oil of the White Pine Trees mixed with Whisky and Glycerine, in the following proportions: Virgin Oil of Pine (Pure) ..14 oz. Glycerine ...... siete ee Sas Good Whisky ..... Pee ad Used in teaspoonful doses every four hours. . It is claimed that the above mixture will heal and strengthen the lungs, break up a cold in twenty-four hours, and cure any cough that is curable. The ingredients can be secured from any good prescription druggist at small cost and can be easily mixed in your own home. Inquiry at the prescription depart- ment of a leading local pharmacy elicited the information that Virgin Oil of Pine (Pure) is put up only in half-ounce vials for dispensing.

Tenant Had Taken the Matter Into His Own Hands, The tenant faced the landlord with a determined look. “The man you let into the vacant suite last week,” he said, “plays the flute.” “Does he play much?” “No; he only plays a little. He plays a great deal of the time, but he only plays a little.” “You mean that he’s a poor player.” “I mean that he’s a player with poor taste. Any flutist that gets up at 2 o'clock in the morning and tootles out scales and things isn’t much on taste, to my way of thinking.’ “T’ll have to have a talk with him,” said the landlord. “It’s no use,” sighed “He won't listen to you.” “We'll soon find out about that,” said the landlord, as he reached for his hat. “It’s no use, I tell you,” responded the tenant. “Him and me had a fight last night an’ I broke his flute an’ he moved out this morning.

Food that can be eaten with relish and benefit by the children as well as the older members of the family, makes a pleasant household commod- ity. Such a food is Grape-Nuts. It not only agrees with and builds up chil- dren, but older persons who, from bad habits of eating, have become dyspep- tic. A Phila. lady, after being benefited herself persuaded her husband to try Grape-Nuts for stomach trouble. She writes: “About eight years ago I had a se- vere attack of congestion of stomach and bowels. From that time on, J had to be careful about eating, as nearly every kind of food then known to me, seemed to cause pain. “Four years ago I commenced tc use Grape-Nuts. I grew stronger and better, and from that time I seldom have been without it; have gained in health and strength and am now heav- ier than I ever was. “My husband was also in a bad con dition—his* stomach became so weak that he could eat hardly anything witt comfort. I got him to try Grape nuts, and he soon found his stomact trouble had disappeared. “My girl and boy, 3 and 9 years old do not want anything else for break fast but Grape-Nuts, and more healthy children cannot be found.” Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek Mich.

John A.-Ryan, state hotel inspector, whose claim against the state for $2,- 882.55 was cut down to $637 by the senate claims committee, filed his quarterly report for the quarter ending March 1, 1907, with the state auditor. The report. shows that in the last quar- ter nine hotels were reinspected, fees were, collected and the expenses of the department were $46.50, which with the salary makes the total amount to $346.50, That the hotel inspector is not very much in love with his job is shown by the following report attached to the financial statement: “Despite the fact that the legislature has been in session for several weeks, there has been no step taken by it thus far to cure some vital defects in the act under which my office was estab- lished. I have been working under a disadvantage, intensified during the present quarter, inasmuch as_ there has been an absolute lack of pecuniary aid from the state, necessitating the expenditure of private funds in order that the work intrusted to me under the law might be consistenly carried on. “I had hoped that the legislature would not hesitate to promptly make up any deficiency incurred in pursu- ance of my official duties, and failure so to do has exhausted my financial re- sources and compelled the abandon- ment of further active field work, how- ever imperative, during the remainder of my term under the existing act. “In the event that the hotel inspec- tion law shall become a permanent feature of our statutes, it is highly es- sential, as experience proves, that ad- equate funds be provided direct by the state if beneficial and satisfactory re- sults in hotel regulation by law be de- sired.” ORE FINDS BOOM LANDS. Iron Prospecting Near Aitkin, Minn., Meets Success. Recent rich finds of iron ore in Ait- kin county have caused much excite- ment, and a number of syndicates have been formed and have taken options on land where the indications of ore are good. The latest find has been on the farm of J. G. Jacobson, who lives on Rice river, northeast of town, where drilling has been in progress for several months. One forty has been drilled by Cuyler Adams and in the eight holes put down the iron tests have ranged from 48 to 58 per cent metallic iron. The explo- rations were made by Adams on a sharing basis and Jacobson has been offered $8,000 for his share in the property, the per cent of his interest not being stated. A local syndicate of composed of J. J. McDonald, C. H. Warner and J. B. Galarneault have bought 160 acres from Jacobson for which they paid him $20,000 and agreed to give him a one- tenth interest in the mineral. PLAN CHAUTAUQUA WORK. Officers and Chairmen of Committee Are Selected. The guarantors to the Chautauqua movement have perfected an organiza- tion for carrying on the work this sea- son at Albert Lea.

Armstrong; finance committee, chair- man, W. G. Chamberlain; talent, Clint L, Luce: advertising ,. J P. Hurley; grounds, W. A. Morin; ladies’ auxil- iary, Mrs. Hattie Smith Fuller. It is the plan to buy talent for about 2,000 and have the Chautauqua this year where it has been heretofore, on the campus of Albert Lea college. The meetings have been held in a tent, and it it planned to build eventually a pa- vilion or guditorium. HIRE DAIRY INSPECTOR. Creamery Men May Create Office and Share Expense. The creamery men of Freeborn county are to hold a meeting in Al- bert Lea in a fortnight, and one of the principal topics to be considered will be the advisability of securing an inspector for the county, to be paid for by the various creameries. His duties would be to inspect barns, give in- structions in feeding, handling milk and testing herds and cows. It is be- lieved that a man in that position would earn his salary many times over in the improved condition of milk when taken to the creamery, the sav- ing in feed and the general improve- ment of the dairy yard on the average farm, while he would weeg out the poor cows, as farmers would not keep them when it was shown that the cows were not paying for their feed. BANK EXAMINER QUITS. T. V. Knatvold Finds Work Too Oner- ous and Confining. T. V. Knatvold, bank examiner for the Albert Lea district, has tendered his resignation, to take effect on April 1. Mr. Knatvold stated that he had found the duties of the position so ex- acting that he was almost continually away from his home in Albert Lea. The work was so onerdus and confin- ing, he added, that it threatened to im- pair his health and he concluded to guard against this by resigning.

GENERAL BREAKDOWN A Condition Which Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills, the Great Blood Tonic, Have Been Curing for Years. There is no more perplexing trouble for a physician to treat than debility. cases, especially in women, in which there is no acute disease but in which the patient every day sinks lower and lower despite changes of medicine and similar experiments. That Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills win restore health under these .conditions is no speculation but the fact has been Proved in hundreds of cases similar to that of Mrs. Sarah Ramsey, of 1008 St. John St., Litchfield, Ill. She says “T never felt well after my first child was born. I had a gnawing pain in my stomach and could not hold any food down. My head ached a great deal and sometimes the pain went all through my body. I had dizzy spells so that I could not stand and seemea to be half blinded with pain. These spells would often last for over an hour. My blood seemed to be in a very poor condition and my hands and feet were like ice. I seemed to be growing weaker and weaker-and coula not get around to do my work in the house. I was extremely nervous and the least excitement would bring on a dizzy spell. “For a number of years I was under a doctor’s care but seemed to get no better. I had heard about Dr. Wil- liams’ Pink Pills and I began to take them. I soon felt better and gained in weight and strength. My nerves are strong now and I am a well woman in every way.” Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills are sold by all druggists or will be sent, post- paid, on receipt of price, 50 cents per box, six boxes for $2.50, by the Dr. Williams Medicine Company, Schenec- tady, N. ¥Y.
