Some Useful Medicinal Plants.

Ocenumes some simple remedy ad.
minstered with discretion, as our grand.
mothers SO well knew how, saves q fit of
SICKNESS, large doctors bill. and per
maps untold suffering. T Won have
cold or some simple ailment. Il is bet
ter 70 Try some ''herb tea" than to send
Tor a doctor who will administer drugs
ana minerals which sometimes leave
their lasting i'll effects, as I, too, well
know to my sorrow. I give below de-
scrlptiOns of a few medicinal herbs which,
II properly saved and used, will be found
valuable:
Boneset, Eupatogium perfoliatuns,
grows along the borders of marshes,
bitches, and in low lands, and is often
made into tea for an emetic, tonic, or
cathartic. 1t is very useful in coughs,
compounded with other herbs, useful
also in colds and fevers. May. weed,
MarsstG cotula, a native of Europe, often
grows in farm yards and waste places,
and when once it is rooted it is hard to
exterminate, although not apt to spread
or be troublesome in cultivated lands.
This plant, when made into tea, is also
useful in colds; mixed with boneset and
stepped, it alleviates stiffness and sore
ness of bone and muscle. May weed is
often used as substitute for chamomile,
and I believe is more effective in its
action.
Bloodroot, Sanguinaria canadensis,
blooms early, with pale, pretty flower,
growing on a crooked stem, like the VIC
let, being often used by children to
eight ROSTERS with, as they term the
operation of hooking the flowers together,
and pulling them until one breaks of
and leaves the other victorious ssrooster."
This plant is called bloodroot, because,
when the stem or root is broken, there
exudes freely blood-red juice possessing
an acrid, pungent taste. 1t is used as an
expectorant and sedative in coughs and
colds, and as an emetic and expectorant
in Group. The root is the only useful
part, and may be gathered the latter part
of summer or in early fall. Atincture is
made from the root with proof spirits, and
the dried root is also used, in the form OF
powder.
In gathering herbs, where the foliage
is the useful part, they should be plucked
while in flower and dried in the shade.
They are kept better if pressed into boxes
or papers, when dry enough SO that they
will not crumble, and when laid away
they are then always clean and ready fol
use.

The political campo ign in MINNESOTA this
fall hinges upon the contest for the United
States Senate. Mr.. Window gdesiers tn sue
coed himself and Mr.. Washburn desires to
succeed Senator Mcmillan. To this end Win
dom has succeeded in putting Milo White in
the field in the First district. Washburn is
on the track himself in the Fourth district
and is also conducting the Nelson campaign
in the Fifth. Washburn's elevation means
the restoration of the old Ramsey camp fol-
lowers to power. They have been temper
arily displaced by Senator Mcmillan and Gov
Hubbard. but they are plotting for revenge
and those gentlemen are marked for their vic
Tins. Those Republicans who desire to
strengthen the Washburn- Window dynasty
will aid in electing White, Washburn and
Nelson. Democrats who desire to accomplish
the came end can afford material aid by dis
playing excessive party zeal in behalf of
straight, moss-back tickets. 1t is neat
political game which works the machine
inside of both political parties, to accomplish
the same end.

A call was made for convention to meet
al Fergus Falls, September z, and an address,
intended to fire the Democratic heart, was
adopted. 1t is now three -cornered fight,
with sure victory for the regular Republican
nominee-Hon. Knute Nelson.-Minneapoli
Tribune.
This frank announcement of the Washburn-
Nelson organ at Minneapolis ought to satisfy
the distinguished editor of the st. Cloud
Times that he is working in full harmony
with his 'ring" allies. The Tribune has al
ready named the editor of the Times as the
Democratic candidate of the Washburn-Nel-
son gang, and it ought to show its apprecia-
ton of his services by packing the Fergus
Falls convention in his behalf.

ABOUT the most nonsensical political idea
evolved by the lunkheads who know nothing
about politics or anything else, is the sug-
gestion that Mr.. Dunnell will run for the
State Senate in order to be on the inside when
Billy Window comes up for reelection. These
Window strikers apparently imagine that the
nomination OF White closes Mr.. Dunnell's
term in congress. 1t happens, however, that
Mr.. Dunnell's term of office extends until next
March, and Mr.. WINDOWS successor will be
named while Mr.. Dunneil is yet in congress
If Mr.. Dunnell is given clear field against
White, his cong' essional career may continue
after Mr.. Window has retired entirely from
public life.

THE Window organs are alarmed over the
proposition to give Mr.. Dunnell clear field
against White, and are shouting that he ought
not to do this, because he submitted his claims
to the Rochester convention. He did nothing
OF the kind. Mr.. Dunnell's name was not pre-
sented, and he was never, at any time,
candidate before that convention. Mr.. Dunnell
does not recognize collection of hired strik-
ers for Window as political convention nd
when he found that was to be the nature of
the Rochester assemblys he promptly notified
his friends that his name must not be pre-
scented. There is neither personal or political
honor which requires him to decline to take
the field as an independent candidate.
