Artificial Limbs.

"a manufacturer or dealer In arti-
fcial limbs who wears a cork arm or
leg himself is much better equipped for
business than his competitors who are
sound" said a man who uses a cork
leg. I'm fact, II has become a sort OF
unwritten law among us to patronize
such men when possible Sentimental
reasons may have something TO do With
the case, but ] guess the chief reason
is that we consider that IL man can
make a limb for himself that fits like
the paper on the wall he can make
II for others Manufacturers Of arti-
fetal limbs know this, and frequently
you will find an advertisement like
this: The So-and-so artificial leg Is
built by man who Is wearing one
and who knows from experience what
you want fer comfort This is a strong
argument for it's no easy thing to get
an artificial limb that just fits. Per
sons who have trouble getting shoes
that are just right are in great luck
compared to us"-New York Sun.

H. j. Finstad Closes Doors of His
Furniture Store.
Makes Application to U. S.
Court to be Adjudged a
Bankrupt.

Ell. J. Finst stand on "Wednesday
closed his doors and made formal
application to be adjudged a
bankrupt. This closes one of
the oldest business houses in
the city and one which was
thought to be doing a good bust
ness. Mr.. Finstad assumed
charge of the business about a
year ago, having purchased the
interest of Ole Aune, the firm
name being Finstad & Aune.
Finstad & Aune purchased the
business from the estate of Mike
Anderson number eff years ago.
Attorney Walsh now has charge
of the affairs and will present
the matter to the U. S. Circuit
Court. Referee Risjord, of Ash
land, will undoubtedly take
charge of the business at once,
and will proceed to close the
matter up. Friends of Mr.. Fin
stad hope that he may save some
thing from the wreck.
