proverbs

When the butter won't
cone put a penny in the
churn," is an old time dairy
proverb. 1t often seems to
work though no one has ever
told why.
When mothers are worried
because the children do not
gain strength and flesh we
say give them SCOTS Emul-
sion.
1t is like the penny in the
milk because it works and
because there is something
astonishing about it.
SCOTS Emulsion is simply
a milk of pure cod liver oil
with some hypophosphites
especially prepared for delicate
stomachs.
Children take to it naturally
because they like the taste
and the remedy takes just as
naturally to the children be.
cause it is so perfectly adapted
to their wants.
For all weak and pale and
thin children SCOTS Emulsion
is the most satisfactory treet'
ment.

Greed for gold is a conspicuous
evil of our time and country. We
want money to burn; wealth to
squander. 1t appears as as if
some men, and women as we'll, vie
with each other in thinking out
original and striking ways in
which to make their wealth con-
spicuous. They imagine that they
thus aggrandize themselves. II
is something to be grateful for,
that there is growing sentiment
in favor of saner living. There is
strong influence at work for
greater simplicity and more gen
uine lives. There is gain in re
spect for the ''plainer living and
higher thinking manner of life.
By the truest standards, parade of
wealth is deemed vulgar. To
dress, to act, to order our house
holds and our lives by how it
looks, by the opinions of others
and make an impression, betrays
sallow mind and weak
character. .-Okolona Messenger.

ONLY A SUGGESTION.
But It Has Proven Of Interest and
Value to Thousands.

Common sense would suggest that if
one wishes to become heshy and plump
it car only result from the o we eat
and digest and that o should be
albuminous or flesh forming food, like
eggs. beefsteak and cereals; in other
words the kinds of food that make
flesh are the fOC3s which form the
greater part of our daily bills of fare.
But the trouble is that while we eat
enough and generally too much. the
stomach, from abuse and overWOrk.
does not properly digest n assimilate
it. which is the reason so many people
remain thin and under weight, the di-
gestive organs do not completely digest
the flesh forming beefsteak and eggs
and similar wholesome food.
There are thousands of such who are
really confirmed dyspeptics, although
they may have no particular paln or
inconvenience from their stOmachs.
If such persons would lay their
prejudlces aside and make a regular
practice of taking, after each meal one
or two of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
the food would be quickly and thor
oughly digested. because these tablets
contain the natural peptones and
dfaStase which every weak stopaach
lacks, and by supplying this want the
stomach is soon liable to regain 1tE
natural tone and viogr.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets digest ev-
cry form of aesh-forming food. meat,
eggs. bread and potatoes. and this is
the reason they so quickly build up,
strengthen and invigorate thin, dys-
peptic men. women and children.
Invalids and children, wen the most
delicate, use them with marked benefit
as they contain no strong Irritating
drugs, nc cathartic nor any harmful
ingredient.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the
most successful and most widely known
Of any remedy for stomach troubles
because it is the most reasonable and
scientific Of modern medicines.
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets are sold
by every druggist in the United States
and Canada as we'll as in Great Brit
ain. at 50 cents for. complete treatment

UP TO THE COURTS.

ltis now up to the courts to de-
eide whether. the Chippewa In
dians OF Minnesota have any rights
which. the government is bound to
respect.
On the 18TH, of this month the
arguments in the injunction pro-
1ceedings against Secretary Hitch
cock in relation to the Morris Act
will be heard and the court will
be called upon to decide whether
the Indians have the vested and in
defeasible rights which they claim
under tie Nelson Act or not.
If the courts hold that congress
has a right to take away these
rights, then the Lord help the
Chippewas of Minnesota, for they
will then be in the tolls of one Of
the worst ring, composed princi-
pally of Office holders, that has
ever existed in this state. These
office holders are holding on to
their jobs by their teeth, and they
do not hesitate to use a personal
friend of the President to debauch
his influence with the latter in
favor of their selfish motives and
schemes.
1t is useless to rely on q secre-
tary of the interior to do justice
whose policy is to rule or ruin,
for his prejudice have lead him
to ignore the very reasonable re-
quests of the Indians whose wishes
in relation to the Morris Act
should have had some weight, es-
pecially as they did not expect to
be buncoed when they accepted
the provisions of the Nelson Act
If the courts should rule against
the Indians, then there is only one
remedy left for them, and this is
to appeal to congress to right the
wrongs which it has been mislead
into inficting upon them.

Death Of Chief Shay
shay-way-geshig.

Information has been received
by the ToMAHAwK Of the death OF
hay-shay-way-geshig, chief Of
the Pembina Chippewa Indians,
at Red Lake, where he was visit
ing, last week.
The chief was over eighty years
of age, but was hale and hearty
for man Of his years, and his
death comes as surprise to his
many friends on this reservation.
He was IL member of the Pembina
township on this reservation, and
the head of that portion of the
Pembina and Turtle Mountain
bands that were removed from
Turtle Mountain to this reserva-
tion in 1875.
With the death of Shay-shay-
way-geshig the Pembina Chippe-
was lose the grand old man. of
their tribe with which he was very
popular, and the whites good

SITUATION UNALT TERED.

The officials of the forestry bu-
reau and general land Office are
.iubilant over the high q bids for
the Chippewa timber that was sold
at Cass Lake last week. They
point out that as high as ten and
twelve dollars per thousand feet
was bid on some of the pine tim
ber.
How much of the pine brought
this price, From the information
we have received we will venture
to say not half dozen tracts,
and that more of it was sold for
the minimum prices of four dollars
per thousand for Norway and five
dollars per thousand for white
pine than the highest price referred
to.
AS all the reports of the sale
fail to mention the average price
for which the timber was sold, an
intelligent idea regarding the price
of the timber as a whole, cannot
be formed, or whether the SAME
was good or not.
Whether the prices were good
or bad. the fact nevertheless re-
mains that the bidders made some
allowance for the unusual expenses

What Next?

Secretary Hitchcock has ruled
in favor Of the townsite boomers,
on the Mississippi reservation
near Bena, who established the
town of Richards. This is another
rank injustice to the interests of
the Indians, and since the secretary
is not trying. evidently, to protect
the rights guaranteed to the In
dians by the laws, of completing
their allotments before opening
any of the ceded Chippewa reser-
vations for any purpose whatever,
an appeal should be made to the
courts to compel him to complete
the allotmdnts before any OF the
land is allowed to be taken for
townsite or other purposes.
