Buy Land At Home

There is every indication that a
land boom in this section of Mime
sofa Is not far distant, and that the
tide of emigration that has been
surging towards North Dakota and
Northwestern Canada the past five
years is about to turn, and by another
year land seekers will be looking for
Park Region lands with an avidity
not heretofore known. This section
OF Minnesota Offers better inducements
to the farmer today than any other
section of the Northwest. Land is
cheaper; markets closer and better
and the earning capacity of the soil
greater than in any other part of the
country. The minute there are more
buyers than sellers land prices will
soar, and already there is better In
quiry and better opportunities to sell
than for some time With all farm
products on higher price plane than
was ever before known land values in
this section of Minnesota are too
low, and sooner or later are bound to
come unto their own.-Osakis Review.

WHO USES HY0MEI
The Best People in Sank Centre,
Say Hanson & Emerson. Guar
anteed in Catarrhal Troubles

No other remedy or treatment for
catarrh has ever been as popular or
made so many remarkable cures in
Sank Centre as Hyomei
The best people attest its curative
virtues, say Hanson & Emerson, who
are the local agents. The fair way in
whit h Hyomei was sold, to refund
the money unless it gave satisfaction,
was the best proof when it was intro
duced that it possessed unusual
curative powers. Hanson & Emerson
took all he risk of the treatment
giving satisfaction, and LETT it to the
purchasers to be the judge.
Later, when Hyomei was used and
recommended by our well-known
physicians and business men and
their wives as a treatment that alb
solutely cured catarrh, no matter how
serious or long standing, the sales
rapidly grew and today there is no
other remedy in Hanson & Emer-
sons stock that has such large and
staple sale.
The first breath of Hyomei's healing
air kills ali catarrhal poison.
Try Hyomei today on Hanson &
Emerson offer to refund the money il
the treatment does not give you
satisfaction.
