case does not indicate the need OF
his proprietary medicine, he tells you
plainly and frankly qUhat you do need,

'sDr.RNPuv,e..

Many mothers of families in the United
States have reason to be grateful to the
person who recommended DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription. This is medi-
cine specially prescribed for diseases of
womankind. 1t does not cure eczema,
catarrh in all its forms, nor heart dis
ease, for it is put up for the single par-
pose of curing diseases peculiar to
aO0mesa. 1t has a reputation of over a
third of century Of cures, and has
sold more largely on this continent
than any other medicine for women.
Another point in it's favor-it does not
contain a single drop of alcohol or
harmful abit-forming drugs. 1t is
purely vegetable and perfectly harm
less in any condition of the system.
An alcoholic compound for women is
something no woman should take and
yet cFavorite Prescription" is the only
tonic and nervine put up for sale
through druggists, especially for wom-
ans weaknesses, that does not contain
alcohol and that too in large quantities.
Womanly weakness will always bring
nervous irritability and a nervous con-
dition, for which alcohol is the worst
thing in the world. What woman
thus afflicted needs is a vegetable tonic
and invigorating nervine like Doctor
Pierce's Favorite Prescription, which
will build up her delicate system and
bring about healthy tone. 1t cures
the drains and weaknesses of women,
also displacements, as prolapsus, ante
version, retroversion, irregular and
painful periods and kindred ailments.
If you want to know what ails you
the United States mail will bring you
the best medical advice for only the
cost Of writing materials and stamps.
Many women owe their present good
health to the fact that they consulted
DR.. Pierce by letter, giving him all pos
sible information about their condition,
symptoms, etc., and received in return
good medical advice aOhich cost them
asothi7ag This is why we advise you to
write to DR.. R. V. Pierce, the founder
of the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical
Institute, at Buffalo, N. Y.
DIR. Pierce by no means confines
himself to prescribing his well-known
proprietary medicines. He tells you
in the most .common-sense way what
ais you, what you ought to do. what

The Farming Contest.

4 E - : 3
NEXT summer Beltrami
county will have grain growing
contest to which will be eligible
all the pupils Of the public schools
Of the county. The idea of such
a contest originated with County
Superintendent of Schools ]. ].
Regan, who has now interested
the citizens of Bemidji in. the
project to such an extent that
that they have subscribed several
hundreds of dollars to be given
in prizes to the children who are
successful in the contest.
The Importance of this move
can hardlysbe estimated Every
pupil in the county will take a
lively interest in the contest,
and it is certain that specimens
of grain will be exhibited as a
result of the contest the like of
which have never been seen in
the county, as only the best seed
will be furnished and of course
the most desirable plots Of
ground for the variety of grain
selected by the pupils will be
sown. The result will be that
hundreds, yes thousands of
specimens, of the finest grain
ever produced in the county will
be shown.
Why would it not be a good
idea to take some of the grain
grown in this contest and make
an an exhibit at the state fair
next fall?' It is we'll known in
this section that no better farm
ing land can be found than in
Beltrami county, but the truth of
this statement can never be es--
tablished in the minds of our
southern Minnesota nelghbors
until the right kind of an ex-
hibit is made at the state fair.
Beltrami county is considered
by many wilderness of timber
and swamps, and until our farm
products are ''shown up, lit will
be still considered so.

The catalogue houses have a
right to advertise and there is
only one way to meet them and
that is to fill your local papers
with good advertising and keep
continually at it. An occasional
ad won't do it. though it helps
some. Use the local columns of
your home papers and you will
find your town will not always
be the Mecca for the mail order
concerns.
