The Best Remedy for Rheuma.

Quick relief from pain. All who
use Chamberlain's Pain Balm for
rheumatism are delighted with the
quick relief from pain which it
affords. When speaking of this
Mr.. D. n; Sinks, of Troy, Ohio,
says: "Some time ago / had a
severe attack Of rheumatism in nv
arm and shoulder. I tried numer-
GUS remedies but got no relief un-
til l was recommended by Messrs.
Geo. F. Parsons & Co., druggists
OF this place, to try Chamberlain's
Pain Balm. They recommended
it so highly that I bought a bottle.

have since recommended this lini-
ment to many of my friends, who
agree with me hat it is the best
remedy for muscular rheumatism

terms desired by the people Of
Devils Lake whose only purpose is
to have the bridge completed as
quickly as possible, and that, too
not only in the interest Of the city
but in the interest of the county
as we'll, for it cannot be denied
that the bridge will prove advan-
tageous to both. A large amount
of the summer trade south Of the
lake now goes somewhere else,
but will come here when the
bridge is completed. This trade,
it should be borne in mind, is in
creasing every year and must in
time become an important factor
in the business life Of the city.
Of course it will aid materially in
building up Devils Lake, but what
ever does that helps the county by
increasing the amount Of taxable
property, by providing a larger
and better market, thereby in
creasing the value Of their lands.
All of this will result as the con-
sequence Of the building of the
bridge and the opening up Of an
avenue Of trade to the south.
Let it not be forgotten that the
welfare of the city of Dew
lis Lake and the welfare of
Ramsey county are intimately con-
nected; that the city is entitled to
the money; that the bridge will
be an improvement the beneficial
effects of which must extend to a
large area of surrounding country
and that the larger part Of the
burden involved in it's construc-
ton must be borne by the citizens
of Devils Lake in any event. They
have already contributed largely
to the project, Of the. small sum
sought from the county they have
also paid their proportionate share,
and it is only right that the ap-
preparation pledged by the county
commissioners should be made by
them available for immediate use
and without any strings attach
ed to it. In fact they can do moth
ing else and maintain their rep
utation for Justice and fairness.

OFFERS

There are many localities in
North Dakota that offer fine in
ducements to settlers, but none
that possesses more attractions
for the man with small capital in
search of a permanent home. than
can be found in Ramsey county
This is true for numerous reasons.
First, the land is good. It pro-
duces the biggest kind of crops,
especially of wheat and flax, and
farming here is conducted at a
profit. It is a paying industry in
Ramsey county.
Second, the land is still cheap,
although rapidly advancing in
price year by year. Farms can be
bought on easy terms and at a
price that will enable the pur-
chaser to double his money in a
very few years by merely taking
advantage of the rise in land
values.
lulru, Ine new conner TO Ramsey
county finds himself surrounded
by all the advantages possessed by
long established communities,
such as neighbors, schools,
churches, good markets, etc.
This is a matter Of great impor-
lance and cannot receive too much
consideration from the home seek
er.
For these and other reasons
that might be enumerated we be-
lieve that Ramsey county holds
forth superior inducements to all
who come to North Dakota in
search of permanent homes amid
pleasant surroundings.

Discussing Noah.
Hts and Mrs. in Grafton Record.

Down in Maine two old sub
scribers are fighting over Noah's
social standing and habits. One
of them claims that Noah drank
like a fish and that he only sober
ed up at intervals to count the
animals or thrash Ham, who &C.
casionally touched up the jug after
doing the chores. The other party
to the argument admits that Noah
occasionally took more than was
good for him, but he claims that
he had the grip and as there wasn't
any doctor on the ark, none being
found good enough to enter, he
did not know how much to take
and got an overdose, and the dose
once established he was afraid to
take any less for fear it would look
as though he wasn't very sick. A
good many people have prescribed
for themselves, and died, but
Noah, 600 years old, seemed viii,
ling to take chances, and Ham,
his son. seemed willing to help.
The arguments occupy about two
columns and the Royal Baking
Powder ad is squeezed up against
Lydia Pinkham to make room.

Caught a Dreadful Cold.

Marion Kooke, manager for T.
Thompson, a large importer of
fine millinery at 1868 Milwaukee
Avenue, Chicago, says: During
the late severe weather I caught a
dreadful cold which kept me awake
at night and made me unfit to at
tend my work during the day.
One of my milliners was taking
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy for
a severe cold at that time, which
seemed to relieve her so quickly
that | bought some for myself. It
acted like magic and I began to
improve at once. I am now en-.
tirely we'll and feel very pleased
to acknowledge its merits" For

FARMS READY Al

Those who have had no exper-
fence in clearing off heavily tim
bered land can have no adequate
conception of the amount of labor
which such a task involves. The
chopping and log-rolling and
burning and stump digging COM
plise what seems almost like an
endless task. At best years must
elapse before. such land can be
made actually fit for the pillow, for,
as is too often the case, the ground
is also literally covered with
stones. Some lie loose on, the
surface, others are Embedded in
the soil and must be dug around
and pried out or blasted in pieces
before they can be removed.
Thousands Of farmers, especially
in the east, have had painful ex-
perience trying to convert timber
ed and stony land into farms and
any one Of them will tell you that
there is no more laborious and
discouraging toll. The labor per-
formed is enormous and would if
paid for at the regular wage rate,
amount in the aggregate to an
average Of not less than one hun
dred dollars an acre..
It is only by taking into consid-
Grafton such facts as these that
the people Of North Dakota can
bring themselves to properly ap-
preciate the advantage of living in
a country where the hand of
nature has practically fitted the
land for the pillow. No heavy
forests to chop down, no stumps
to dig out, no stones to remove
nothing to do but break up the
sod and then SOW the seed, with al.
most positive assurance Of reaping
a golden harvest. Farms ready
made, as it were, are still to be had
by the thousands in this state FOL
merely complying with the govern.
ment conditions, and yet. strange
as it may seem, many farmers
will continue to fret their lives
away trying to wrest a bare sub.
sistance from scant and stony sol
in the east, simply because they
lack the nerve and ambition te
pull up stakes and come to NORTH
Dakota. They cannot get out OF
the rut. Thousands of theil
neighbors possessing more courage
and hope, however, are coming tc
the Northwest every year and viii
do much to aid in developing its
great resources, because, as a rule
possessed of energy and persever
ance.

PELICAN POINT BRIDGE

The project Of building a bridge
across Devils Lake at Pelican
Point to connect this city with the
Indian reservation is a most COM
mendable one and must and will
be pushed to a successful issue.
The work already performed has
cost in the neighborhood of $4,000
and it will require about $4,000 to
finish the bridge. The money ex-
pended thus far was contributed
by the citizens Of Devils Lake, the
elevator companies represented
here, and j. j. Hill. The county
commissioners agreed to appro-
pirate $4,000 towards the project,
but so far that amount has not
been made available for USE. The
commissioners rightfully withheld
the money until the city gained
permission from the government
state and national-to construct
a roadway across the state military
grounds and to land on the Indian
reservation. Both of these objec-
tons have been removed.
The commissioners at their last
session took the stand that they
would pay over the money only on
a guarantee that it should not be
called for until the bridge is COM
pleted and accepted by them. To
attach such a condition, under the
circumstances is both discourteous
and unjust. The city council has
assumed the responsibility of CON-
pleting the bridge, is O. adver-
Using for proposals on the work,
and will be in shape to push oper-
atoms just as soon as these funds
from.the county are provided. and

In seeking the assistance Of the
county in this matter the city Of
Devils Lake does not, however

is clearly entitled. This city pays
one-sixth of the entire tax of the
county and for years has beer

titled to a certain per centage Of

Nervousness is very common among
women. This condition is due to anemic
nerve centers. The nerve centers are
the reservoirs of vitality.
These centers become bloodless for want
Of proper nutrition. This is especially
true in the spring season. Every spring
. host of invalids are produced as the
direct result of weak nerves.
This could be easily obviated by the
use Of Peruna. Peruna strikes at the
root of the difficulty by correcting the
digestion. Digestion furnishes nutri-

digested food furnishes these reservoirs
of life with vitality which leads to
strong, steady nerves, and thus nour.

.foregone conclusion that no change
in the policy of this government
will result from his visit. It is
the fixed determination Of the
United States to interfere as little
as possible in the affairs Of the
old world. Great wrongs may be
perpetrated over there but it is
not our business to attempt to
right them. Such a task would
not only be beyond our ability to
perform, but an endeavor to per-
form it would simply result in our
becoming involved in great diff
culties which wisdom bids us to
shun. Our business as a people
is to mind our own business, so
far as possible, and not to go gun
ming for trouble in South Africa
or any other part Of the old world.
We may sympathize with the
Beers, as we should with all peo-
pie in distress, but we cannot af-
ford to imperil our own peace
and happiness by championing
the cause of the under dog in
every row that is kicked up in
Europe or some other distant part
of the world.
Gradually but surely there is a
tightening of the divorce laws
going on in this country that in
time will have the effect of con-
vincing men and women that it is
no laughing matter to take on
matrimonial relations. Heretofore
conscienceless people, Of whom
perhaps actors as a class we're the
worst offenders, have INDUCED in
a good deal Of marrying at random,
relying upon the divorce courts to
free them, in case they found the
alliance distasteful. When, how
ever, the legislatures and courts
succeed in making divorce diff
cult there will, perhaps, be fewer
weddings and an increase of the
sum total Of human happiness as a
consequence.
The constant recurrence Of
labor troubles in different parts of
the country emphasizes the neces-
sity for some fixed and peaceful
method of settling the difficulties
and misunderstanding that so
often arise between employer and
employee. The strike, so frequent
ly resorted to, has proved trouble
some, costly and Intellectual, and
it will be a happy day for all con-
cerned when the strike gives way
to arbitration or some other SEN
sible rule for settling labor dis
putes.
The color line in labor is crop
ping out with a vengeance at
jackson, Miss, where building
operations on the new state house
have been tied up by a strike Of
the bricklayers because two negro
members Of the craft were given
employment. A peculiar feature
of the strike is, that it was preci-
pitated by northern bricklayers.
Such unreasoning exhibitions Of
race prejudice are greatly to be
regretted.

A little over half a century, ago 1t
was considered beneath the dignity of
many substantial concerns to adver-
tise beyond the insertion in the news
papers Of an occasional business card.
Some of the experiences Of that time
show how recently advertising, as we
know it, has developed.
a retail hardware house in an east
ern city once found itself possessed of
ten times the number of articles of a
certain kind that it had intended to
buy. AS they had been ordered espe-
Cially for a new hotel and were Of a Pc
culiar design, there seemed to be no
way of disposing of them except at a
merely nominal sum.
One Of the younger men connected
with the concern offered to move
them at a fair price provided he be
permitted to advertise. The suggeS-
ton encountered much opposition, but
finally a small sum was set apart to
carry it out. The advertisement was
drafted in an attractive way, and the
people soon began to buy the new arti-
Gle. Finally the house was obliged to
send to the manufacturers for more.
When the next seasons trade opened,
the member Of the firm who had most
opposed the experiment whispered to
the young man that he had better
write out a few notices land put them
in the papers"
From such beginnings the advertis-
ing practice has come Thousands Of
dollars are now spent not only in adj
yertising itself, but in devising clever
catch words, ingenious phrases and il
Illustrations which will stick in the
memory Of the reader as we'll as new
general methods.-YOuth's Companion.
