ercise. II an attempt is made to be-
gin systematic exercise. or an hour or

produced. This disagreeable result
often stops the experiment. Instead
OF d!scouraging the trial. the very
soreness should point out the great
need OF the body.
II the work were persisted In and

but upon each organ. The blood is
purified and the digestion strength
ened.
The effects Of prolonged sedentary
life are overcome only by working on
the accumulated poisons and creating
an appetite for new pure food. This is
built up in the body. and thus the
whole man is renewed.
Exercise must be carefully increased
and adapted to the individual muscu-
lar strength. The weakest muscles
must BIO brought up to the standard
Of the others.
For feeble persons who are not
able to do the desired work. massage,
Swedish movements and mechanical
exercises should be employed.
For more robust persons. walking.
horseback riding, rowing, bicycle rid
ing and especially swimming are to be
recommended.

DEVILS Lake RESERVATION LANDS

Wednesday of this week the
first annual payment for lands
on the Devils Lake Reservation
fell due and by Wednesday night
nearly every settler on the reser
walton had made his payment of
$50. This is very good show
ing considering the fact that
some of these payments are not
due for several weeks and be-
sides the settlers SO far have
had nothing but expenses-no
crops being harvested by them
since they entered the lands. 1t
shows two things which are that
the settlers on these lands are
we'll to do and that they are we'll
pleased with their lands, other
wise they would have given them
up before this.
There are about 10000 acres
of vacant land still left on the re.
servatior and some of it is very
good. In the spring when the
Aneta branch of the Great
Northern railway is completed,
claims across the lake will be
worth considerable more than
they are now, and many people
will wonder why they did not
file on the lands before strang-
ers took the claims. 1t will be
the same old story. Several
years ago when whole townships
were vacant in the northern and
eastern part of this county,
Ramsey county people said the
land was only good for grazing.
Eastern people came and took
the land which today is worth
1925 an acre and Samsey county
farmers and other residents went
west and took lands not worth
half as much. Let us profit by
their example.-Devils Lake In
ter Ocean.

digestions in good condition with
Electric Bitters. S. A. Brown, of
Bennettsville, s. c., says: "For years,
my wife suffered intensely from
dyspepsia, complicated with a torpid
liver, until she lost her strength and
vigor, and became a mere wreck of
her former self. Then she tried
Electric Bitters, which helped her at
once, and finally made her entirely
well. She is now strong and healthy"
