1.-THE PROOFS"

What basis Is there for the statement
that there has been no real treatment for
kidney disease?
The medical term for kidney disease is
NEPHRITIS, which means inflammation
of the kidneys, and till recently there was
nothing that would allay kidney infIam-
nation
But there are many kidney medicines
so-called and many people with kidney
trouble get well.
Because it commonly gets well at first.
Medical writer's now declare that kidney
disease develops SO unconsciously that. as
a rule, it IS far advanced before it is dis
covered (see Medical Brief D S02)
They admit that in the secondary stage
they have specific for it (see same au-
thority. same page.
That this is true is also shown by the
enormous growth Of the census deaths
from kidney disorders-now over 10 Der
day.
How then can any of the old time kid
ney medicines be considered cures?
After two years of quest and experience
the late John ]. Fulton was the first man
in the world to discover a compound that
by direct action of the kidneys tissues al.
lays kidney inflammation.
Fulton's Renal Compound, as it is called
Is controlling kidney disease, both in the
first and second stages, that were never
known before to respond to medicine.

DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION
Will Be HELD MAY 9th
Counties Will Then Select Delegates to
State c0nventi0n.--Date Not
Set for Latter.

St. Paul, March 1Q.-Frank A..
Day, as chairman of the Democratic
state central committee, yesterday
issued the call for the state conven-
ton which is to select delegates to
the national convention at Denver
The call provides for primaries on
the evening of May 6, which is We'd
nesday, and for the county conven-
tons on Saturday, May 9. These
dates were fixed by committee COM
posed of Mr.. Day, E. A.. Stevens of
Minneapolis, secretary of the central
committee and C. A. Quist of Mime
apolis, under authority of a resolu-
ton passed by the state central
committee. The state convention
will be held in St. Paul May IA at 10
o'clock at the Auditorium.
The Democratic state convention
in St. Paul will select all of the
twenty-five delegates to the national
convention. The Republicans have
conventions in each congressional
district and the state convention
elects only four delegates at large,
but at the Democratic state conven-
ton the delegates from each con-
gressional district get together for
caucus and elect two delegates. The
convention then assemblies and rati-
fes these and elects the four addi-
tional delegates at large.
Frank Day has not yet appointed
the committee of five which is to
select the date and place for the
second state convention to nominate
state officers. This convention
will not be held before the national
convention at Denver and it is not
probable that it will be held before
August. There has been some sug-
gestion that the convention would be
held before the national convention.

''TiIIy OIson," March 26th.

No dramatic writer ever hit upon
the idea of making a young Swedish
girl a heroine Of a drama until
TITLE OLSON" was thought out.
There have been numerous Swedis-
American dramas written for male
stars, bat this is the first one in
which the fair sex are exploited.
The only Swedish character in
TITLE OLSON" is the girl lilly.
The rest of the characters are pro-
ducts of the great, Northwest, the
scene being laid first on Minnesota

entertaining stage creation, for she
is bright and witty and with fund
of good humor hid beneath the i'm
perturbility for which her nation is
noted. The situations of the play
are said to be extremely amusing
and the comedy is clean cut and
scintillating with good things from
beginning to end. Some original
specialties are introduced and fine
quartette is carried for the church
scene. An adequate scenic equip
ment has been provided, every scene
being from the studio of Messrs.
Moses & Hamilton of the Broadway
Theatre, New York. An exception

role will be played by an especially
clever comedienne, Miss Emily

Commercial Clubs and settlers.
The drainage problem will take care
of ITSELF when the proper time
comes. The general opinion seems
to be that these timber lands will
never require DRAINAGE, but if after
the timber is removed, it is found
that drainage is necessary in certain
localities, the state laws furnish
ample provision for the construction
of bitches and the drainage of such
lands.
1T is a mistaken idea of some,
that these Commercial Clubs and
the settlers who attended the joint
meeting, are opposed to the general
scheme of drainage for which Con-
gresham Stevenson has faithfully
labored for years. There is no
doubt that the undertaking by the
National government to make pro-
vision for the drainage of the wet
and swamp lands in the various
states is proper and necessary leg
islation, and it cannot be denied
that in Minnesota, there are large
tracts of such lands. No sane man
would object to drainage, no matter
how it is to be accomplished, where
it is actually needed, but any plan
for such work that deprives the
settlers of acquiring title under the
homestead laws, until such time as
drainage system is completed would
be more harmful than beneficial,
and seriously impede the settlement
and development of these timber
lands.
There is no question now, regard
less of what opinions may have
prevailed in the past, that the tim
Der lands in the northern part of
the state, when once cleared, are
the very best of farm lands, and
produce as fit crops as any other
part of the state. There is ready
market for timber, and or nearly
all of these lands, there is more
than enough of timber to pay for
the clearing. For these reasons
settlers find them more desirable
than prairie lands, and all they
ask is an opportunity to acquire
title to their homesteads under the
homestead laws, and not be indif-
nitely delayed by reason of drainage
or any other laws"

The company has strung wires on
the poles from their power plant in
this city to the dam, and the elec-
tricity which is transmitted over the
wires is being used to operate the
25-horsepower motor which is run
ing the sawmill, and the small-dimen-

The new dam, when completed,
will harness some 1000 to 5000

The power-house will be built
in the river in the center of the
dam, and will be of concrete and

The dam will be 10 feet long at

WILL RUSH WORK ON DAM
TO EARLY COMPLETION
Beltrami Electric Light Power Company Have Materia
on Ground and Have Engaged Services Of Competent
Superintendent, Formerly of Watab.

The Beltrami Electric Light &
Power company of this city has
again resumed labor on the work of
completing the big power dam which
is being installed at the rapids in
the Mississippi river, some nine miles
east of this city.
Work on this dam was COM
menced early last summer and the
foundation for the superstructure
was completed before cold weather
set in.
The putting in of the dam proved
to be a much larger undertaking
than the company at first realized,
and it was necessary to secure an
extension of time from the govern
ment for the completion of the
work.
The company now estimates that
by vigorously pushing the work,
the dam can be completed by the
latter part of August, at the latest.
In order that the very best of
help may be had for completing the
work at the dam, the power COM
pany has engaged the services Of
Nels Marcoux, who has just CON-
pleted the big power dam at Watab,
near St. Cloud, and who will have
the general supervision of the dam
on the Mississippi river. Mr.. Mar
coux is at present on the ground.
He brought five competent assis-
tants with him and the company
has engaged a crew of thirty-one
men, who are now at work on the
dam site. =
All the foundations for the dam
proper we're completed before winter
set in, and work will now at once be
commenced on the superstructure,
which was started yesterday morn
ing.
