You may secure the same relief as
Miss Snyder, if you take Wine of Cardui
as she took it. Thedford's Black
Draught is the companion medicine OF
Wine of Cardui and it is liver and
bowel regulator which assists greatly
in effecting a cure. IF you take these
medicines according to directions, the
relief and cure is simple. Some cases
are cured quickly and others take longer
because the disease has run longer.
Remember how Miss Snyder took Wine
of Cardui and has health. The same
medicines are offered you to-day.

LAURELs FOR SENATOR NELSON

Senator Nelson seems to be in fair
way to be the father of new executive
department. His bill establishing de-
partment Of commerce passed the senate
vest erday without opposition. The title
OF the department has been changed to
commerce and labor and the geological
survey, the geodetic survey and the pat
ent office. were left out. We can see no
objections to these omissions, and the
is commendable. r
Senator Nelson's bill is not likely to
meet with serious opposition in the house.
So we shall soon have what I'VE have long
needed-an efficient and compact execu-
tive department to look after the inter-
dustry, from the view points Of both capt
tai and labor.
1T will be small honor for Senator
Nelson to have succeeded in accomplish
ing what has been so long striven for
without success. The victory should re-
mind Minnesota. people that their senior
senator is a very valuable and influential
member or the senate. He has none OF
the snowy qualities nor great. versatility,
but it is tolerably certain that he will
always be more potent and successful in
securing legislation and shaping it than
many men of that type. Senator Nelson
is a hard worker, thorough student,
gifted with a strong and tenacious mind.
When he supports measure it always
commands respect, for the senators have
learned to presume there is reason and
force behind it, ~.

THE IMPORTANCE OF IRRIGATION

The IMPORTANCE OF IRRIGATION
A DIFFERENTIATION of the statistics of
public lands is sufficient to indicate the
Importance of the proposed plans for ma
tional irrigation.
The total area of the public land states
and territories is 1884 O21, 76O acres. Of
this enormous total about Lose, 900 900, or
considerably more than half, still belong
to the national government, as reserved
or unreserved public land-the latter
classification including over 900, 100000
acres.

part of these remaining lands are noun

sDorton of these 100000 600 acres-equal to
ten times the total area Of Minnesota-is
so situated that it can ever be irrigated.
But it is we'll known that large areas OF
the so-called desert lands can be made
more fruitful than the rain-belt lands if
means are provided to bring to them the
water that is available. Every acre of
land thus redeemed is so much land added
to the national domain, in effect.
AS the land resources of the United
States and their steady appropriation by
settlers all through the nineteenth CEN
fury were one Of the chief sources of pub
lie prosperity. stimulating the increase of
population and the demand for manufac-
lures far beyond the demand of a settled
community, it is Of the utmost impor-
lance that the opportunity for easily OBJ
tanning homesteads be maintained rs long
as possible. If only 100,000.000 acres of
land can ultimately be redeemed by ma
tional irrigation the effect will be more
than equivalent to the opening to settle

large as Minnesota. The settlement and
development of such region means a
