Heartburn Comes
From The Stomach

The heart is an organ that people are
not inclined to triAe with, but a person
may have huttering of the heart, heart
burn and similar troubles and yet have
a perfe city sound heart. Nine times
out of ten the disorder comes from the
stomach through dyspepsia, constipa-
ton or some other digestive ailment.
So instead of taking heart cures"
or other such things that contain stimulants
and narcotics, take O harmless but etectlve
remedy like DR.. Caldwels Syrup Pepsin which
will correct the digestive disorder and in that
way cure the supposedheart trouble. Theremedy
is guaranteed TO do this, and you can obtain It
OF any druggist In 50 cent and III bottles. AS
there are about $50 doses 10 the latter the cure
will cost you but a few cents.
The experience OF Mrs. Knight, OF Bellv1ew,
Tenn. in this regard should be of interest to all
who suffer from heartburn, etc. She writes that
for five years she suffered from Indigestion ana
constipation, from tainting srens; huttering az
the heard and heartburn. She couldn't eat meat
or anything seasoned with meat Dr. OeldwelIs
Syrup Pepsin was recommended to her ana
after a few doses the Indigestion and constlpa-
tion was relieved and the fninting spells and
heart trouble soon disappeared. She takes a
dose OF the remedy after eating and now never
feels any i'll effects no matter what she eats. II
would be well for those who suffer in this way TO
do as she did and be cured.
There is no question that DR.. CaldweTs Syr-
IN Pepsin is the best tonic laxative and digest
ant at the disposal Of the American people. II
Isl gentle in action and pleasant Ia taste. II
never prfpes. It Is the ideal remedy for stom
rs gentle action is especially to be recon-
mended TO children. women and Others VINO can
not stand the violence and gripping Of salts
purgatives and cathartio tablets.

Bows WHO Smoke.

There is a law against the sell
ing or giving away of cigarettes
or cigarette paper, and those
who disobey the law do so at the
risk of being prosecuted and
fined. The merchant who pur-
posely places cigarette paper
where boys may go and help
themselves lays himself liable
just as much as if he gave it to
them in person.
1t would not be pleasant for a
bunch of little boys to be called
before a grand jury to tell where
they got their cigarette paper.
If a boy smokes it is better
that he should smoke a pipe
However, it is the part Of wisdom
for boys not to smoke at all.
1t would be amusing, were /
not disgusting, to see a bunch o

Hysteria A Strangulated Emotion

onIu Way to Do Good.

There is only one way to make men
better. The work must be done from
the inside. The seed must be plant
ed in the human neart. The indi-
vidual conscience must be awakened
and enlightened. No reform theory
can be made which is automatic. The
individual must do the reforming with
in himself, and all that the outside
world can do is to lend him a sus

WHY THE COUNTY OPTION

Because the COUNTRY PEO-
PIE DEMAND THE AMERI-
CAN RIGHT of a voice in the
settlement of a question involving
directly their moral and material
welfare.
Because the county is the
SMALLEST UNIT of political
organization with effective means
for enforcement of law.
Because THE PRESENT
SYSTEM is UNJUST, and au-
tocratic, denying the people di:
rectly affected a voice in the Set
Element of the liquor question.
Because Minnesota is too great
and noble a state to permit a
brewing and liquor combine to
dominate in state and municipal
government.
Because 1t is time that the
EDUCATION given the young
people in the schools regarding
alcohol and it's evil effects be given
a chance TO BEAR FRUITION
in the control of the sale of the
stuff.
Because every interest for bet

velopment of true manhood and
womanhood, and ALL TRUE
PROGRESS DEMANDS 1T.

twelve O'Clock at the farm home east

she leaves to mourn her death family

Last Friday Senator Thorpe
withdrew his own bill for county
option in favor of another bill
which had been prepared by the
temperance people of the state,
the representatives of seven or
CARNATIONS having agreed on the
same. It is a relief to know that
the bill first introduced by Sena-
tor Thorpe was not the one over
which the contest will be waged
and which is to be soon made the
law of the state. Its exemption
of some counties, a concession
made in the vain hope of placat-
ing some opposition to the bill,
would have robbed the bill of it's
consistency as a measure de-
signed to grant local self-govern-
ment to the people of the state on
this important question. And
the penalties provided were so
decidedly inadequate and i'm
practicable in these days of
brewery dominion of the liquor
traffic that it is surprising that
Senator Thorpe should have fallen
into the error of proposing them.
The new bill, as published else
where in this issue, leaves the
penalties as they stand in exist
ing statutes, under which the
convicted violator cannot escape
a Jail sentence We congratulate
Senator Thorpe havingsecured
the honor of introducing the bill
which we fully believe will short
ly be the law of the state, by the
with drawal of his own bill. It
is an honor which reflects on the
county as well. Kandiyohi coun-
ty has been a battle-ground on
this question, and will be among
the first to avail itself of the law
when it passes. -.
