One little writer suggests that a

The revelations regarding fr&udu>
lent paint materials which have been
made by the Agricultural Experiment
Station of Fargo, N. D., and published
by Prof. E. F. Ladd, state commits
sioner, have occasioned almost as
much of sensation as the exposure
of adulteration in food products did
when the latter first began to appear.
1t has been shown that kegs marked
pure White Lead" often contain other
substances such as chalk, barytes,
silica, etc., and that oil supposed to
be linseed often contains petroleum
adulterants, to say nothing of water
in large proportions. Sometimes, So
called white Leads" contain not an
iota of genuine White Lead.
The farmer is large user of paint.
No one is more interested than he is,
that the label should enable him to
get what he supposes he is paying for.
There should be a law in every state
requiring that all paint packages be
labeled exactly according to their con-
tents. That would enable every paint
buyer to buy intelligently.

HOMEMADE cATARRH CURE.
Sufferers Should Make This Up and
Try 1t Anyway.

Any one can mix right at home the
best remedy of it's kind known. The
name Cyclone" is given to the fol-
lowing prescription, it is supposed, be-
cause of it's promptness in driving
from the blood and system every ves-
tige of catarrhal poison, relieving this
foul and dread disease, no matter
where located. To prepare the mix
ture: Get from any good pharmacy
one half-ounce Fluid Extract Dande-
lion, one ounce Compound Kargon and
three ounces Compound Syrup Sarsa-
parilla. Shake well and use in tea
spoonful doses after each meal and at
bedtime.
This is harmless, inexpensive mix
ture, which has a peculiar action upon
the eliminative tissues of the Kidneys,
assisting them to filter and strain
from the blood and system all ca
tarrhal poisons, which, if not eradi-
Gated, are absorbed by the mucous
membrane, and an open sore or ca
tarrh is the result.
Prepare some and try it, as it is the
prescription of an eminent catarrh
specialist of national reputation.

Not LEGALLY Dead.

Winona-An old murder mystery is
recalled by the action begun in the pro-
late court of this county to declare
Charles Farnholz legally dead.
1t was in May, 1899, that Mr.. Farm
holz left his home near Lewiston to
visit for a couple of weeks with rela-
tives near Fountain City. He left word
with neighbors to look after his stock
until he returned. Two or three
nlenths later the neighbors wondered
why he had not returned and wrote to
his relatives at Fountain City for in
formation. They replied that they had
not seen him and supposed that he was
still at his farm. 1t was then recalled
that some time after he had left his
farm the nude body Of man, with
the face cut off, had been found in a
marsh near Fountain City.
The man evidently had been muir
dered and every means Of his identi-
fcation removed. The friends and
relatives of Farnholz then believed that
the murdered man was he and that he
had been murdered across the river
from Winona for the little money he
had on his person. But the mystery
was never cleared. AS nothing since
has been heard Of him, his relatives
now have made application to the pro-
bate court for the appointment Of a
guardian for his son, which action will
have the effect Of declaring the father
legally dead.
