gnawirlg and burning pains at the bit
5of the stomach, yellow skin, coated
tongue and disagreeable taste lib the
mouth, coming up of food after eating,

HANG ON TO YOUR CLAIM.

MYHE man in Beltrami county
u who has agood farming claim
should hold it. Nodoubt there
are many who have no idea of
holding on longer than the home
stead laws require. Then they
will sell the timber and take a
sneak out Of the woods. In a
short time they will be short on
money and land, but long on re-
greet. Timber claims have eensold
within the county but recently
which would bring four times
the amount today. The man who
gets the mania for sudden riches
out Of his system is the man to
succeed as a rule. Stick to your
homestead, improve it and in a
few years you will realize that
you have made the best kind of
an investment.
Thousands Of immigrants are
coming into the state each year, |
and it will be only a few years |
before the lands in Central and
Northern Minnesota will be as
well taken up as those in the
part of the state. Land
which was selling in the southern
part of the state six years ago

Mercer OF Leech Lake who, it was sup

pine was repeatedly reported to Agent
Mercer from the time it commenced III
the early winter until the camps closed
in the spring.
Another source of dissatisfaction on
the part4 of the Indians Is the alleged

The old feeling Of distrust toward

the total cut of pine was green, whereas
the Indians estimate that at least is

that the full confidence of the interior
department was reposed in these oper-
