Many a man is looking out for his
health, but looking for disease in the
wrong direction. He takes medicine for
his nerves, which seem "gone to pieces. ."
He vdoctors" for his heart, which is
acting irregularly. He constantly stirs
up his liver with pills and powder. But
he does not get any better. He is look
ing for the cause of his complaints in
the wrong direction
1t is a common thing for some one
who has used DR.. PierCe's Golden Med
ical Discovery for "stomaCh troubleD to
find that when the diseased stomach is
cured the "weak" heart is made sound,
the sluggish liver stimulated, and the
throbbing nerves tranquilized. This fact
alone suggests the truth which every
leading medical scientist knows and rec
ognizes-that diseases which seem re-
mote from the stomach are often caused
by the disease of the stomach and other
organs of digestion and nutrition. When
the diseased stomach and the digestive
and nutritive system are cured of disease,
the other organs are cured with them.
Food is the basis of life and of
strength. But it is not the quantity of
food eaten which supports the life and
health Of the body. The body is sus-
tanned by that portion of the food which
after being eaten is converted into
nourlshment and properly assimilated.
When the stomach and its allied organs
of digestion and nutrition are diseased
or "weak, " only part of the food eaten
is converted into nutrition, and the body
and its organs are therefore only partly
nourished DIR. Pierce's Golden Med.
lcal Discovery cures the diseases of the
stomach and digestive and nutritive sys-
TEN which prevent the proper nourish-
ment of the body. In that way the
body is once more strengthened in the
only way possible, by food properly
digested and perfectly assimilated
Any person suffering from disease in
chronic or aggravated form, is invited to
consult Dr. Pierce by letter free. Al
correspondence strictly private and con-
fidential. Address DR.. r. V. Pierce,
Buffalo, n y.
There is no alcohol iir vGolden Med
ical Discovery" and it is entirely free
from opium, cocaine, and all other mar
cotics.
Accept no substitute for Golden Med
ical Discovery The main motive OF
substitution is the desire Of the dealer to
make a little more profit out of ron by
selling you less meritorious medicine.

IN Dulnth at the last election,

IN Dulnth at the last election,
voting machines were tried in sew
eral of the precincts and they were
found most satisfactory. The work
of voting was a snap and the
counting and making out returns
was easier than voting. Returns
from the precincts wherein the
machines were used we're made
within fifteen minutes after the
polls closed, while other precincts
with no machines were kept busy
until daylight the next morning.
If it could be SO arranged, we be-
lieve that Ely could vote its entire
population with one machine by
keeping the polls open an hour or
two longer and save the city hun
dreds of dollars in judges and
clerks fees and rent of buildings.

AT the session of the interna-

held at st. Louis an interesting
paper was read by Major Louis
Livingston Seaman, who had just
returned from the scene of war in
the far cost. He praises the man.
ner in which the japanese are
caring for their sick and injured
and dwells at considerable length
on the common sense food that the
soldiers of that nation are given.
Little sickness appears in the ranks
and the wounded recover rapidly.
With the Russians it is quite diff
ferent according to the doctor. He
claims they are high livers and
that as result there is much
sickness among the men and hun
dreds are dying off from causes
brought on by delicacies and nick
hacks. He also says that wine,
women and song are playing
prominent part in the downfall of
Russia. Painted beauties and a
bottle are more eagerly sought by
the soldiers than deeds of valor on
the field of battle. 'Sodom and
Gomorrah-the current synonyms
of Port Arthur and Vladivostok in
the Orient says the doctor,
were temples of virtue in COM
parison to the debauchery. licen-
tiousness, fragrant immoralities
and open flounted vice recently
practiced in those unhappy cities. +"
Where such conditions exist it is
not to be wondered. that the reports
from the front rarely speak of
Russian victory. Although greatly
outnumbered the sturdy Japs are
Enthusiastically the greatest war

of few more months before they

The after election statements of
some of our exchanges are cert
ainly amusing. The MINER sup
ported the straight Republican
ticket and has no excuses to offer.
Should the election occur tomorrow
we would do the same thing. The
excuses given out by some of the
Republican papers are our of place
and should not have been made.
The people who cast the ballots
knew what they were about and
while John A. Johnson was not our
choice for governor, we are salts
fed and believe he viii fittingly
administer the affairs of the state.
The chief regret is that the state
could not have had an entire Re-
publican set of officers. However,
"to the victor belong the spoils"
and Gov-elect Johnson will sur
round himself with his faithful,
and justly so. The Republican who
goes fawning about for a Demo
cratic appointment should be
turned down and we have full con-
fidence in the coming governor to
feel that he will do this.

AS near as we can make out
from this distance, the persecu-

Eveleth, is becoming somewhat Hof
a chestnut. The Judge was elected,
fair and square, and evidently the
majority of voters in the town
wanted him. Why not let him
alone and enjoy the fruits of the
office? The latest, in having him
indicted for drunkenness, is the
limit. Those intimately acquaint ted
with the affair say that the in
dictment is the outcome of the
municipal court fight of a year ago
and is based on spite and jealousy.

the crop of dead deer hunters will
be unusually large this season. The
fool and his gun are abroad and his
work is noticeable in the northern
part of the state where the big
game is located. The strangest
thing about a deer hunter is the
fact that he never misses a man
with single shot while he pumps
his magazine empty at a deer

the fellow who shoots and runs
away, leaving his victim to bleed
