another fellow on board-also a stow
away. His name was Flanders and he
claimed to be student at the Uni
versity OF Montana. At Frisco we
found number of ships coming and
going, and Flanders was for working
our way to the Philippines or some
other place. / caught his fever for
awhile. and thought there might be
something in it. and between us we
frequented the water front quite a
lot.
There was a full-rigged ship lying
in the stream named the Mary B.
Horne. She was going from'Frisco
to Hong-Kong. loaded with American
goods. The captain was looking for
a crew, but we knew a little too much
to travel that way. Those sailing
ships-wind tanners, as they call
them-sometimes take the third of a
year for the China trip when the winds
don't blow right. Besides, the treat
ment and food is apt to be more or
less unsatisfactory. No Mary B. Horne

DUBIOUS
About What Her Husband Would Say.

A Mich. woman tried Postum Food
Coffee because ordinary coffee dis
agred with her and her husband. She
writes:
"Hy husband was sick for three
years with catarrh of the bladder, and
palpitation of the heart, caused by
coffee. Was unable to work at all
and in bed part of the time.
Il had stomach trouble, was weak
and fretful so l could not attend to
my housework-both of us using cof-
fee all the time, and realizing it was
harmful.
"One morning the grocer's wife
said she believed coffee was the cause
of our trouble and advised Postum.
1 took it home rather dubious about
what my husband would say-he was
fond of coffee.
But / took coffee right off the
table, and we haven't used cup of
it since. You should have seen the
change in us, and now my husband
never complains of heart palpitation
any more. My stomach trouble went
away in two weeks after / began Pos
tum. My children love it and it does
them good. which can't be said of
coffee.
"A lady visited us who was always
half sick. l told her I'd make her a
cup of Postum. She said 1t was taste
less stuff. but she watched me make
it. boiling it thoroughly for is min
utes. and when done she said it was
splendid. Long boiling brings out the

THE WHITE RIVER COUNTRY.

In the opinion OF one who has trav-
esed much and observed closely. the

people In the United States to-day are

Try. anywhere from Newport, Ark. to
Carthage. Mo. They are contented be-
cause their surroundings are ideal and,
until recently. the great. uneasy. dis
Quieting world. with its artificial needs
and inadequate compensations, has
been To them but little more tangible
than q dream. Here, still existent,
and by reason of their very rarity at
this day and time more delectable
than In the past, are the conditions
which have ever appealed with ire
aistibIe force to the independent-spir-
tied Anglo-Saxon. Every man is the
supreme ruler of his own little prin-
c1Daiity: acknowledging no master
save the law-and possibly his fem
mime helpmeet; cringing to no en-
pIoyer. asking no favors from the
world, save those that his neighbors
freely extend and expect as freely in
return. He lives In a latitude where
the extremes of heat or cold are never
known. and at an altitude that insures
perfect health. The richest bounty
OF Nature has been showered upon
him with unsparing hand, but 1t is a
question whether he more than dimly
realizes the fact. He accepts as mat
ter of course the fertile soil which

tiIres- A railroad has recently cut its
way through the best of this region,

tempt the hill-dweller to part with his

the worlds history-the good things
that are ours without price invariably
pass from our hands before we come
to understand their value. The White
River country will shortly be discov-
cred anew by a class of immigrants
better capable of judging its possihil
tties-the men who seek modest
homes where the LAY of the land"

too close neighbors. where their cat

Alum Baking Powder is WhoIesome.

Alum Baking Powder Is Wholesome.
DR.. Herman Reinbold, the expert
German chemist, in recent official
report concerning Baking Powders,
declares that pure alum baking pow
der is better and less injurious than
the so-called cream of tartar powders.
He says that If the quantity OF alum
contained in sufficient quantity of
baking powder for a batch of bread or
cakes for an ordinary family, be con-
centrated to one mouthful of food.
and taken into the stomach of any
one person, no matter how delicate,
it could do no harm. On the contrary,
alum is wholesome in proper quanti-
ties. This is undoubtedly the reason
the State of Missouri quickly repealed
a law that prohibited the manufacture
of the most wholesome of all baking
powders. So much for Alum Baking
Powders.

the Voters of K andiyohi County.

10 the voters OF X and1yOh1 County.
In the selection of men as public servants
one of the first thoughts is: Are these men
able to perform the duties satisfactorily?"
But the ability to perform the duties of an
office is not the only feature voter should
look at in his choice of a public servant.
Two men may be equally we'll qualified and
yet one may be entitled to a public favor
more than the other. And it is for this
reason that we want to say few words for
nation for county treasurer.
Mr. Fleckten is one of the earliest settlers
in the county and has always been interested
in building up and improving it's condition.
AS county commissioner, In which capacity
he served a number OF years. he was always
fair and just and looked to the welfare OF
the county. AS a private citizen he has
worked for the good of the community. In
the attempt to get the state capitol to this
county, where it rightly belonged, he sacri-
feed a great deal of his time and money.
With due regard to the ability and charac-
ter of the other candidates. we express it as
our earnest belief that to Mr.. Fleckten is due
our support, and hope the voters thruout
the county will have the same view.

We are of the opinion that our st ate could
with advantage to herself and her people,
publish at the state prison or state reforma-

used in our high schools. It would give en-
ployment to inmates of our penal institu-
tion. The books could be sold through dis
tributing agencies located in several places
in each county, allowing a reasonable per-
centage to each agent for his labor. Rural
schools would not then pass over several
weeks of school in each term, as is often the
case, before being supplied with proper books
tor doing satisfactory work, and such books
could then be purchased at two thirds the
price now paid, a saving to the tax payer
of sum worthy Of fair investigation.

TO the Voters.

In coming before the public as a candidate
for the Republican nomination for the office
OF Representative to the state legislature, it
1s proper that my views relating to the
duties OF such Office be briefly stated.
The county Republican platform adopted
last June Is explicit and contains the import
ant Questions of the present time and has my
approval and endorsement.
The states system of retaining the
swamp lands and reforesting certain state
lands Is wise provision toward state de-
velopment, but should be executed with
economy, and spectators whose lands are
benefited should be assessed their proper
tionate share.
The tax amendment to the constitution
will it adopted at the coming election, result
IN more or less of a change in our tax sys-
TEN. Invisible and corporate property
should pay their just share.
The amendment to the constitution relat-
ing to a one fourth mill tax on all taxable
property of the state for road and bridge
fund should be adopted. There is no reason
why the twin cities and other large munich.
palities Of the state should not be called on
to help defray the expenses of building public
roads and bridges in the agricultural dis.
trlcts. These cities could not exist were it
not for "the man with the hoe" They
should constitute from their vast accumula.
