Gentlemcn:-lt gives me pleasure to
certify to the good effects from Paine's
celery compound for my patients in gen
eral debility and liver complaints.
Andrew L. Lundgren, M. D.
Why do the ablest physicians in Amer
lea openly prescribe, use and recommend
Paine's celery compound?
First, because Paine's celery COM
pound is not a patent medicine. 1t is
not the discovery of some quack doctor
Of whom his profession never heard: it
is not a connection put up by some man
who first invented a name, and then
adopted a preparation to fit it: and it is
not a secret remedy.
But it is, first, the result of the life
long study of the greatest physician
America has produced, a man whose rep
utation was worldwide years before he
had ever arrived at this wonderful fo.:mH
ula; Ii man who has received
the highest degrees from the best col
leges, who was at the time of his great
discovery a professor at Dartmouth and
a lecturer in other universities, a scholar
anu a member of a family which has
made its mark in every department of
public life in America Professor Ed
ward f. Phelps, M. D., III. D.

physicians of every school prescribe

shall last evening, shat there we're some
of the senators who did not understand
the real purpose of the minority report
on the grain taxation bill. The measure
was not a bill but a joint resolution
amending the constitution in such a
way that should it be desirable at some
future time to tax hold-over wheat in
elevators the tax could be placed at a
certain figure. I own an elevator and
might be compelled to pay a cent per
bushel tax as provided for in the mi
nority report, but that fact does NOT
give me the right to make
laws to fit my elevator business. I
think that if the constitution is amend
ed at all in this respect. it should be SO
amended as not to contine any future
legislature to a half cent limit, should
the conditions warrant a higher rate of
taxation. So far as my personal inter-
ests are concerned, l expect it would be
to my interests to have no provision for
future taxation on grain passed, on any
basis. I think one-half a cent a bushel
is enough for the present, but it may
not be enough for the future aud I
think the legislature ought to protect
against any condition that might rise in
the future.

Paine's celery compound in preference
to any other remedy?
Because it has prolonged the lives of
thousands of sufferers; it has made their
sick patients we'll.
The best test that can be applied to
Paine's celery compound is to use it.
If n is ''run down." feels without
energy, ~lifeless. useless, %fretful, take this
great remedy, and note the change.
In its peculiar ability to at once in
vigorate the body, to make new blood
and to regulate the nerves, lies the great
value of Paine's celery compound in all
wasting diseases and disorders of the
kidneys, liver and stomach.
a neglected complaint, though slight
ut the beginning, may through neglect
cause u lifetime of misery. The ringing
in the ears, the backache or the general
debility unless the body is braced up
again, may teach one by bitter exper-
fence that disease can creep through
very small holes.
Paine's celery compound stimulates
the kidneys, improves the appetite and
digestion, drives out any scrofulous
tendency in the blood and actively en-
courages the nutrition of the nerves and
organs with the result that the whole
body takes OF flesh and color-the surest
indication of improved health.
! 1t makes the people well.

Iceland on Referendum.

EDITOR TRIBUNE: An editorial in one
of the recent issues of the TRIBUNE at
tempted to give my arguments to pro-
h%ibitionists for supporting direct legisla-
ton. But my arguments to prohibition
lists and "Reminiscences are the same,
namely that they should do to others as
they wish to be done by.
In this nation and most of the states
the prohibitionists ask that the question
they are interested in shall be submitted
to the people. In this state the resub-
missionists ask for the resubmissfon of
the question they are most interested in,
to the people.
Now if the prohibitionists and resub-
missionists will grant that others may
have their measures also referred, we
will only have mutually agreed, to be
fair to each other, and direct legislation
will be the proper means of carrying out
this understanding.
To show a few opinions on direct leg
islation the following quotations are ad-
ded:
BY Mrs. Susanna M. D. Fry, editor the
Union Signal (Chicago):
direct legislation would be the means
of educating the inert masses of the peo-
pie, who at present can scarcely be urged
to an intelligent knowledge of how our
government is constituted, much less to
q knowledge of its workings under pres
ent conditions. The responsibility of
more direct and personal participation
in affairs would be such a school master
as our youth have not yet had. It would
furnish a means Of carrying out the in
junction, we must educate and serve
as q preventive to the awful catastrophe,
*or we perish

destroy many of the present evils and
make a way possible tpr other needed
reforms in city. state and nation. ]. am
in favor of both because delegated re-
sponsibility has proved to a large degree
a failure, and because our representative
government has ceased to represent un-
der changed conditions and the power of

offers q way by which we may apply a
bedrock principle of our government,
viz, the rule of the majority"

member of parliament, author OF "Dem-
ocrary and Liberty" History of Eu-
ropean Morals" ETC.:

the many minor questions with which it
may be mixed. Confused or blended

DEAR PARENTS: We got our Christ
mas boxes yesterday from Bismarck.
There was a box for each man in the
company. Each one contained a piece
of cake, writing tablet, envelopes, comb,
can of condensed milk, towel, soap, etc.

or three hundred dollar company fund,
but we never see anything of the money.
There was lots of stuff put on the boat
by the Red Cross at Frisco for us that
has been sold by the commissary.
This is no guess work fer we have seen
boxes with the Red Cross stamp on
opened and the contents sold to any one
who happened to have any money.
There was another scare the other day
about the insurgents. We were ordered
to fill our belts and put SO rounds in our
haversack. We went out and found out
where our position would be if we were
called out. Think there is little danger
of a scrap as there has been a dozen

Senator Marshall Confident That the
Agitation of Grain Inspection Will
Bring Good Results.
Proposed Mccollom Bill in Minnesota
Will Give the Shippers a Chance
to Appeal.
Committee Returns from Their Trip
and Will File Their Report With
the Legislature.
Senator Marshall's Views.

Senator Marshall, chairman of the
committee appointed by the legislature
to visit Minnesota. and Wisconsin, to in
-quire into the manner of grading grain,
came in yesterday morning from the
east. To a TRIBUNE reporter MI. Mar
shall said:
"The grain inspection committee has
not yet put the information it gathered
in form, nor agreed upon its recommend
atoms. Until this is done, any opinion
expressed would necessarily be personal"
1t is a subject of great Importance to
our people and we endeavored to take
a broad view of it-with the principal
object in view of securing as speedy and
effective action as possible. The Mime
sofa law and the rules of the board of
railroad and warehouse commissioners are
just and equitable We ~believe-and any
irregularities in inspection come from
errors in judgment on, or possible man
ipulation of, grades.
To secure an equitable and Uniform
execution of this law and the rules
after a careful consideration of
the subject, we agreed that the creation
of an appeal board at Duluth and Super
Tor and another at Minneapolis-made
up each of three expert grain men rep
resenting the interests of the producer,
seller and buyer-would be altogether
advisable.
Such a bill was introduced and we
brought every influence possible to bring
about it's passage-it is known as the
McCollom bill, H. F. No. 273-and we
feel confident it will become a law-as
the Minnesota people are equally inter
ested with us.
These boards will be in session con,
stantly, and decisions on appeals can be
had the same day they are taken. They
will be appointed by the governor and
will be separate and distinct from AND
independent of the railroad and ware
house commission and the inspection de-
partment, but will make the standards
and practically fix the grades of GU
grain. .sy
1t would seem to me it would be wise
for our state to keep a first-class man as
a Commission before each of these
boards, to look after the matter of ap
peals, and an official head to whom al
future complaints a be made anc
through whom relief can be had.
These commissioners could gather
great amount of valuable information as
to the work of the inspection system anc
of the grain business generally which
could be given out from time to time anc
embodied in reports. In this and othel
ways their services could be made worth
many times the cost. I feel quite Ger
tain the Minnesota legislature will give
us the board of appeals, and hope thi:
will be followed up in a way that will
enable us to secure the best results from
them. Our report will treat of the sub
ject of grain inspection in about all it,
phases. 1t is a subject about which
there is much room for argument, bu1
the agitation of it is a good thing. W.
have tried to do our part of the agitatine
and expect the people and Legislature
will keep it up
