RULERS OF THE WORLD.
Meat Eating Nations Are the Leaders
in Every Branch Of Human Ach'ev'
nent.

The ruling nations of the world are
meat eaters and history records that
they always have been.
Vegetarians and food crankS may
explain this in any way they choose,
but the fact remains that the Ameri-
cans. English, French, Russians and
Germans are meat eating nations, and
they are also the most energetic and
most progressive.
The principal food of the heroic Boer
soldier known as Biltong, is a sort of
dried beef, affording a great deal of
nourishment in a highly concentrated
form.
The weak races of people are the rice
eating Chinese, Hindoos, and Siamese,
regarded since the dawn of history as
nom progressive, superstitious and in
ferior physically and mentally to the
meat eating nations who dominate
them.
The structure of the teeth plainly
indicates that human beings should
subsist upon variety of food, meat,
fruit and grains, and it is unhygienic
to confine ones diet to any of these
classes to the exclusion of another.
Meat is the most concentrated and
most easily digested of foods, but our
manner of living Is often so unnatural
that the digestive organs refuse to
properly digest meat, eggs and similar
nutritious and wholesome foods, but 1t
is not because such food is unwhole-
some, but the real reason is that the
stomach lacks, from disease or weak
ness, some necessary digestive ele-
ment; hence arising indigestion and
later on, chronic dyspepsia.
Nervous people should eat plenty
of meat, convalescents should make
meat the principal food, hard work.
ing people have to do so and brain
workers and office men should eat
not 80 much meat but at least once a
day and to insure it's perfect digestion
one or two or Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
let's should be taken after each meal
because they supply the peptones,
diastase and fruit acids. lacking in
every case of stomach trouble.
Nervous dyspepsia, catarrh OF
stomach. gastritis, sour stomach, gas
and acidity are only different names
for indigestion, the failure to digest
wholesome food, and the use OF
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets cures them
all because by affording perfect diges-
ton the stomach has chance to rest
and recover its natural tone and vigor
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the
real household medicine; it is as safe
and pleasant for the stomach ache Of
the baby as it is for the imperfect d.
gestion of it's grand sire.
They are not a cathartic, but d.
gestive and no pill habit can ever fol-
low their use; the only habit Stuart's
Tablets induce is the habit of good d.
gestion and consequently good health

on the lnstallment plan, allowing each
a 1eW hours of study each day. In the
high school next year there will be
seventy-five scholars, if all those from
tne eighth grade this year enter; and
there IS room for only fifty, and more
school room is an imperative necessity.
Either the school board must rent
rooms somewhere or else build on ad.

the most feasible one. While the cost OF
an addition would be from $1,000 tc

Double Birthday Party.

Last Thursday was the birthday of
both Walter Mcfarland and his mother
Mrs. Geo. W. Mcfarland and their
friends did not let the day go by with
out happy reminder to BOTH In the
afternoon many of the friends of Mrs.
Mcfarland called to spend the after
noon and evening, when their husbands
came for supper, and it was a very
pleasant gathering and birthday sur
prise. The old folks made merry with
the zest of young folks. A birthday
supper was served and the evening
was pleasantly spent. Mrs. Mcfarland
was the recipient of handsome writ
ing desk and toilet set and other testi-
monials of friendship and we'll wishes
on her sixty-frst birthday. When Mr..
and Mrs. Walter Mcfarland went
home about 9 o'clock they found their
house in the possession of friends who
had prepared for a second Mcfarland
birthday celebration and Walter was
surprised in a most genuine manner.
About fifty Greenbush friends were on
hand and Walter will long remember
his twenty-sixth birthday. He was

A PASTOR IS CALLED Ed,
The Congregational Church Extends
Call to Rev. Jas. K. Steenson
of Eden Prairie.
Rev. Hindley of Elk River Will Fiji
the Pulpit Until Arrival of the ~
- '.i
New Pastor.

A meeting of the members and at
tendants of the Congregational church
was held at the church Tuesday night
to consider the question of extending
call to Rev. James r: Steenson of
Eden Prairie, Minn.. The meeting
was representative one and there
were about thirty present. Rev. Steen-
son filled the pulpit last Sunday on
special invitation of the members of
the church. This was his second ap-.
pearance, as a candidate, and on both
Sundays he made a very favorable i'm
preston and the opinion of those who
attend services at the Congregational
church seemed to be almost a unit in
favor of calling Rev. Steenson to the
pastorate.
The meeting Tuesday night was of
one voice and sentiment, and it was
unanimously decided to extend call
to Rev. Steenson. at a salary of 5000
per year.
In the event of his accepting the call
Mr.. Steenson will be unable to take I'D
his duties as pastor until July lst, and
the meeting voted to invite Rev. Hind
ley of Elk River to fill the pulpit until
the new pastor arrives.
It was decided to add two new ushers
to the list of ushers and G.. A. Eaton
and Geo. F. Wright were appointed to
these positions.
Rev. James r. Steenson is graduate
of the State university of the class of
1895, and also of the Mccormick
theological school of Chicago, from
which he graduated in 1901. During
his college years he supplied several of
the smaller churches and preached at
Foley for time. For the past year he
has been pastor of the Eden Prairie
Presbyterian church. He is a young
man and has the appearance of having
strong hustling qualities and wide
awake ways. In the pulpit he shows
vigor and earnestness, is: ready and
quick speaker and seems to possess ag-
gressiveness and fearlessness His
themes last Sunday were "What Think
Ye of Christ?' and E'Christian Cour-
age.'

good specialties and spectacular pro-

Surbani1s at As Cents.

During the past week Burbanks have
been moving quite freely and prices
have ranged from 35 and As cents. Last
Saturday prices climbed up to IS cents
and on Monday the market opened at
that figure. and late in the day ad-
vanced to ~ cents. The man on load
OF Burbanks was saluted in most re-
spectful manner by the buyers who
would board his load and give the high
ball of the market in wishful way.
Receipts Monday amounted to over
three cars, and those who have Bur-
banks are hauling them in as rapidly
as possible.
Geo. Schmidt began delivering 800
bushels this week on contract. It is
said the delivery was made on a 35-cent
| basis.
The Dalbo starck factory which has
been running night and day the past
month or so has been absorbing the
superluous stock east of town. It is
said the factory will close down this
week.
Yesterday Burbanks sold as high as
40 cents, and receipts were quite heavy
for this time of the year. This week
will about wind up the potato market.
There were fifty loads received yes
terday. AS a closer to the market
Burbanks are selling at 43@45 with a
possible chance of their selling at so
cents. Rose and Ohios have been SELL
ing at Is cents and Triumphs at 20 cents.
In some parts of the south the home
crop is late and this has made sharper
demand for northern potatoes It is es-
tlmated that there are from fifteen to
twenty car loads of potatoes in the
hands of farmers tributary to Prince

Short on Hay.

A scarcity of hay in the land of hay.
This is the predicament some of the
farmers are finding themselves in at
present, and some farmers who sold
short on hay, as well as some of the
new settlers who came in last fall, and
few farmers who carried more stock
Through the winter than they figured
on, are hustling for hay. One farmer
near town with over twenty head of
stock, was forced to buy baled hay last
week to feed his cattle. Baled hay is
selling at $500, while good tame hay is
hard to get at any price. During the
past season 250 cars of hay, averaging
twelve tons to the car have been
shipped out of Princeton.
While there has been scarcity of
hay there has been scarcity of wood,
and fifteen cars or more have been
shipped into Princeton from wood
shipping points, several loads having
been shipped down from Book and
Ogilvie from W. B. Richards ranch.
