~. THE HEGIRA TO Scandal.
Of Great Value to the Northwest, Says
Il Q. 9. searle, the Minneapolis Steam
',s,"a 80 ship Agent. r. e%,.>,~,..+s

."The great advancement in trans
portation has done wonders for the
Scandinavian travel" said Olaf O.
Searle, of the A. E Johnson company,
in a conversation ON the exodus to
Scandinavia this fall. I'm. twelve
days after leaving Minneapolis q
Norwegian, a Swede or a Dane may
be landed in their respective country.
This includes the railway journey to
New York, the transatlantic pas
sage, a railway trip across England
and another steamer. The arrange
ments and connections are 80 per-
feet, however, that this can be done.
1t may appear to ~be doubtful, but
we viii! send out big party OF
Swedes, Norwegians and Danesfr
this city next Sunday and we guar
antee to land them either in Christ
iania, Gothenborg or Esbjerg on
Friday, Dec. p, three days before
Christmas and in ample time to
reach their homes In time for the
holiday festivities. The excursion
will 20 by the way OF the St. Louis,
the largest steamer of the American
line, and the best railways, such as
the Milwaukee, and Northwestern
roads, will take the tourists from
Minneapolis. -
II doubt if the people OF the north
west realize the great value OF these
Scandinavian excursions. Many
might think that money was going
out OF the country, but the benefit
is all the other way. While the far
mers and country merchants COM
posing the bulk OF the fall travel ma.
turally take along some mony, their
expenses will not be as great as
many might imagine. But every
visitor will be a living and valuable
boomer for America and will induce
many people to immtgrate to
America, the great majority of them
people with means and all OF them
most desirable material for Amerl-
cans.
We have sent 500 to Scandinavia
this fall and 1 know I am safe in
saying that each one will bring an
average of at least three people
when they return in the spring."

M H. the matter of increasing their
capacity, the wood question 1s about
the most important question to he
considered, and the price depends
largely on the weather OF the hext
two or three months. Wood suit
able for burning brick that has here
tofore been plentiful and near at
hand, is becoming scarce and has
greatly increased in price. However,
the brick men are confident. that
they will get quite liberal terms for
this season at least for the 5000
cords or more that they will have to
buy. They of course take the wealth
.er into consideration in figuring on
wood. If it Is IN open winter, with
q very little cold weather, the out
side demand for wood will be small,
and home consumption will be less,
Reck oning on the law of supply and
demand, such conditions would in
sure reasonable II not quite low
prices on wood. Reverse the wealth
or conditions and you reverse the
wood situation. However, the
wood question Is not goingto be al
lowed to Interfere with the output.
The manufacturers know, OF course,
that each succeeding year will see an
advance in wood, and their prices
must be regulated accordingly and
80 far as the manufacture is con-
cerned next year will bring a greater
activity in the brick business at
Little Falls than ever before, and as
for sales the manufacturers have
little reason for uneasiness for they

WILL INCREASE THEIR OUTPUT.
Little Falls Brick Yards Increasing Their
Capacity to Supply Greater De-
s.. mand for Their Product. f.

20 This Ia not the season OF the year
" hen there is usually any great &c
tivity in the brick business as 1t Is
not the season Of their manufacture
nor their use in building, but there is
nevertheless considerable activity in
the minds OF the Little Falls brick
men planning for the future.
Last season the output of the two
L title Falls brick yards was some
thing over five million brick, and the
r few of that number now in the hands
of the manufacturer, can be sold at
- any time, and in fact will be sold
within a short time, such has been
the demand for their product the
past season.
: Such is the present outlook that
both Mr.. Duclos and MIR. Sprandel,
the proprietors of the two yards, be-
lieve that it Ia very necessary that
their output be greatly increased
and both are now busy planning
and working to accomplish that
end.
The total output of Duclos' yard
last season was about 3,0O0,000. BY
adding new machinery which has al
ready been purchased this amount
will be increased to 100000 next
year. Mr.. Sprandel made over 20O.-
Co., last year. and unless his pres
ent plans miscarry he will make next
year not less than 3,006000, and
quite probably 3,5oO,ooO, or a total
increase in both yards of about 60
per cent.
Both Messrs. Duclos and Sprandel
state that the last season has been
the best for several years for their
business, notwithstanding consider
able unfavorable weather during the
manufacturing season. Prices
ranged from 40 to 60 per cent higher
than they did two and three years
ago. OF course all this increase in
the price OF brick did not go to in
crease the manufacturer's'profit, for
it cost more to manufacture brick
last year than for several years, but
it is needless to state that a con-
siderable portion of it did. Wages
were higher, and wood, a consider
able item in the manufacture o
brick, was also much higher. OF the
output of the Little Falls yards
there was considerable used at home,
but a larger portion was shipped
out. The excellent quality Of the
Little Falls brick not only for build
ing purposes, but especially for sewer
construction, brings them in great

THE DUTY OF MOTHERS.
Daughters Should be Carefully
Guided In Early Womanhood.

What suffering frequently results
from mothers ignorance; or more
frequently from a mothers neglect to
properly instruct her daughterl
Tradition says woman must suffer, :"
and young women are SO taught.
There Is little truth and great deal
of exaggeration in this. If young
woman suffers severely she needs
treatment and her mother should see
that she gets It.
Many mothers hesitate to take their
daughters to a physician for examina-
ton; but no mother need hesitate to
write freely about her daughter or
herself to Mrs. Pinkham and secure
the most efficient advice without
charge. Mrs. Pinkham's address is
Lynn, Mass.
The following letterfrom Miss MARIE
r. JOHNSON, Centralia, Pa, shows what
neglect will dc, and tells how Mrs.
Pinkham helped her:
"My health became so poor that l
had to leave school. was tired all the
time, and had dreadful pains in my
side and back. / was also troubled
with irregularity of menses. l was
very weak, and lost so much flesh that
my friends became alarmed. My
mother, who Is firm believer in your
remedies from experience, thought per-
haps they might benefit me, and wrote
you for advice. followed the advice
you gave, and used Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound and Liver Pills as
you directed, and am now as well as l
ever was. have gained flesh and have
a good color. l am completely cured Of
irregularity."
