You Should Brace Iln

al health is running down. 1t is
good advice to "brace up" but not

"bitters" of innumerable names and
composed of the Lord knows what,
and it is not much better to fill your
system with nauseating drugs
even on a physician's prescription.
A more agreeable tonic is Il relaxa-
tion from the cares of business. If
it is winter you can journey to
Florida, the Gulf Coast, or South
ern California. In summer the
lovely lakes Of Minnesota or the
grand mountain scenery and salub-

will give health and happiness. 10

HUNTER VS.. wAHPETON

Hunter and Wahpeton played
some very good ball Tuesday and
Wednesday, as will be noted by
the scores, shutting out the visitors
Tuesday making eleven runs, not
withstanding Hunter put up by
long odds the best game played on
the diamond by visitors this year.
But the second game was not so one
sided, standing IL to 10 in favor of
Wahpeton. This change was very
largely accounted for from the fact
that Billy Pannon, Wahpeton's
catcher, again severely hurt finger,
rendering it impossible to catch the
second game. 1t was notice
able that the Hunter boys were very
gentlemanly and courteous on the
diamond, winning everybody's good
will at once. The following are the
scores:

CANDIDATE FOR AUDITOR

CANDIDATE FOR AUDITOR.
In another place in to-day's paper
appears Peter Stenersen's announce
ment that he is candidate for
county auditor. Mr.. Stenersen has
been a resident of the county five
years, has his home and family here
permanently and is tax payer.
He was for some time a bookkeeper
in Redwing bank and was after
wards employed in the auditors
office ut Bainerd, Minnesota, which
facts give him a valuable experience
in this sort of work, which facts
considered with the fact that he is
greatly appreciated by John Nelson,
his present employer and residence
of five years here, go to make up
strong claims for Mr.. Stenerscn's $
capabilities and claims to the Office,
so far as these are concerned.

which bought from you last year, call you the
farmers benefactor Well 10 not know about
that, but can say that the use of it has greatly
benefited me inasmuch, as could do q good
long days work with my harvester which could
not have done with the old seat, as my bones
felt like they were broken. Your seat rides easy
and has no bad effects, as 1t does not shake 1
man all to pieces going over rough ground 4
Hope you will sell many this year. Yours truly
BANE BALiHo.
