KILL THE DANDRUFF GERM.
Or Your Hair Will Fall Out Till You
Become Bald.

Modern science has discovered
that dandruff is caused by germ
that digs up the scalp in scales, as it
burrows down to the roots of the
hair, where it destroys the hairs vi
tally, causing falling hair, and ulti-
mately, badness. After Professor
Unna, of Hamburg, Germany, dis
covered the dandruff germ, all efforts
to find a remedy failed until the
great laboratory discovery was made
which resulted in Newbro's Herpi-
eide. 1t alone of all otherhair pre-
parations kills the dandruff germ.
Without dandruff, hair grows luxu.
riantly. "Destroy the cause, you
remove the effect. +"

Wool Prices Too Low.

A prominent wool man at Boise
stated recently that there seemed to
be something radically wrong with
the Idaho wool prices. From Cali
fornia papers he had noticed 164 cts.
was being paid, which would indicate
that wool growers here should receive
fully 13 cents, if not more. The
talk about big strike in the Ameri-
can wooden mills, he said, looked pc
culiar when the Associated Press and
great daily papers had been unable to
find anything Of that sort. He said
further that year ago this spring
there was 13, 600, 600 pounds Of wool
stored along the Short Line railway.
This year there was not pound.
The outlook for better prices is

NORTHERN MINNESOTA
Holds Out Many Inducements for Settlers
and Cheap Lands-For the Man Who Likes Woods.

present this rugged country, except where
cut over or burned over, is covered with
a heavy growth Of timber. When this is
all removed, if 1t ever is, the hills will
make a fine sheep and cattle raising
ranges. But it is likely that for years,
with the exception Of small tracts, this
region will be given over to mining, lum-,
bering and wild animals. -
West OF the mineral country the land is
f1atter and lakes, creeks, rivers and
swamps abound. Among the lakes are Red
lake, with an area of over 400 square
miles, in an absolute Wilderness; and
Leech, .Cass and Winnibigashish lakes,
which are more accessible. Points on the
Red lake coast may be reached by steam
er up the Red Lake river from Thief River
Falls On the north the state reaches
up to include part Of the great and beau
tiful Lake Of the Woods The best lands
in this great wooded wilderness are gem
orally those along the high banks of
streams and lakes. The building of the
Canadian Northern railway along Rainy
river has caused quite a rush for home
steads along the banks of that noble
stream, which is so deep that steamers
drawing six feet of water have no diff
Guilty in navigating it. The rivers that
flow into Rainy river, especially the Big
and Little Forks, are easily navigable
with canoes and make it possible for the
land or timber hunter, to penetrate the
wilderness. The Minnesota & Interna-
tional, which is building north from Be-
midi, has been the means of bringing
thousands of homeseekers into this region.
In consequence, near the railway, claims
are very, scarce now, while a year ago
they were plentiful Many who took
claims then realized handsomely from the
pine they found on them Others who are
eager to get good claims are now pushing

Mort hern Minnesota is region that
holds out many Inducements to the land
seeker. 1t is practically virgin country
1t is now being opened to settlement for
the first time by the construction OF rail-
way lines. 1t contains the greatest and
best white pine forests now standing IN
the world. The forests are dense, for the
most part, but in many places the land Is
very fertile and the clearing OF the tim
Der is often more than paid for by what
is realized from the timber. Many home
steads contain large quantities Of pine,
though rated by the surveys as agricultu-
raj lands, and much spruce, cedar and
hard woods. The lands that may be
bought are covered with the various sorts
of northern trees, except pine. The latter
timber is now so valuable that it cannot
be purchased by the settler. 1t is eagerly
bought up by the big lumber companies.
Aft or the pine has been removed the land
may be bought very cheap.
Northern Minnesota may be described as
including parts Of Red Lake, Marshall
and Polk counties, all Of Roseau, Cook
and Lake and most of St. Louis, Itasca
and Beltrami counties. OF course, this is
only a tentative outline, for often what
has elsewhere been spoken of as Central
Minnesota is included in northern Mime
sofa.

.F The Rainy River Country

The possibilities for agriculture In
northern Minnesota are fully demon
strated by what has been accomplished on
occasional farms on the American side
of Rainy river and by the continuous sue
cession Of farms along the Canadian side
Of that river from Lake of the Woods to
Rainy lake. Until recently most Of the
American side has been reserved and some
of 1T is still .unsurveyed and very little of
1t has been taken. But the Canadian side
of this mighty wilderness river, larger
than the Mississippi at Minneapolis, has
been settled for twenty-five years. The
soil is so rich that the first crops are not
the best. About the fourth or fifth year
of cultivation brings the land to it's maxi
num- Wheat, oats, hay and all vegetables
are easily and abundantly raised, the
yields per acre comparing favofably with
the best prairie lands. The climate is
delightful. The river freezes over about
the middle of November and opens in
April.
Like all new countries, it is hard to say
just how far the good land extends, but
the settlers think that this remarkably
fertile land extends back about ten miles
from the Rainy river, as well as the same
distance from the cool-watered, high
banked streams that flow into the Rainy
from the south OF course, the cost of
clearing this heavily timbered land must
be taken into account. But with the
building of railroads this handicap will
disappear to considerable extent. Z:
Minnesota Public Lands.
There are aver 100000 acres of
public lands in northern Minnesota open
to demonstrating, and, in such a large
quantity of lands, there doubtless remain
many Snaps, for the man who is de-
termined to get them. In a general way,
access to this great, ,undeveloped country
may. be had from the principal towns on
the railways that skirt or penetrate it.
At present Bemidji seems to- be about as
good a base of Investigation as there IS.
There are nearly 100000 acres of
public land in Minnesota reserved at the
present time, but much Of this will be
thrown open for settlement in the next
few years, The Indians have already
coded large tracts to the government, for
the opening of which the present congress
will make provision e AS these sceded
