sUBscRlPTIoN.--s5.0o PER ANNuM
BEMIDII IS WELL ADVERTISED.

No city of it's size in the state
of Minnesota is receiving more
effective advertising than is Bemidji
and what is more to the point,
the advertising costs not one man
in the city a dollar. We refer to
the liberal manner in which the
daily papers of the twin cities and
Duluth are covering the local field,
from news standpoint.
The. dailies of the three larger cities
are daily printing live" news notes
from Bemidji, many of which are
strictly BOOM articles, setting
forth the advancement of Bemidji, in
conservative manner, to which no
one could possibly take offence; and
the common gossip and knocks"
are eliminated in the matter printed
in the big dailies. ..#
The matter used in these daily
papers is written in the Pioneer
Office, and care is exercised that
nothing but truthful statements are
contained in the articles furnished
the papers, and that the papers are
not used for ax-grinding" purposes,
of personal nature.
The business men of this city, as
we'll as every other resident, no
matter in what walk of life, should
be we'll pleased with the manner in
which this city is being advertised,
at no cost to anyone. 49,.

ECZEMA E A GERM DISEASE
Myriads Of Microscopic Animals Infest
the Skin Of the Sufferer.

When the skin of an eczema
sufferer itches and burns in untold
agony, do you know what is going
on within the pores Of that skin2
Myriads of microscopic animals
are gnawlng at the flesh, breaking
down the fine cells and causing
testers, thick scales and that terri
bic itch. The germs multiply
faster than Nature can throw them
off.
Now, there is only one way to
get rid of these germs-they must
be killed in their lodging places
Dosing the stomach or trying to
cure the blood will not, of course,
kill the germs, and that is why all
the blood remedies fail in eczema;
that is also why salves which 90
not penetrate can do no perman-
ent good.
Ordinary oil of wlntergreen
properly compounded in liquid
form will penetrate the pores of
the skin and kill the eczema germs.
If properly mixed with thymol,
rf.H "
glycerine and other ingredients
Gas in D. D. D. Prescription this
wash will build up the tissues OF
the skin and promote its healthy
growth, giving Nature a chance,
while killing the germs faster
than they can multiply.
Barker's Drug Store of this city,
carries D. D. D. Prescription, also
D. D. D. Soap in stock.

The good book says, Give to

doesn't mean to give drunkard
money to buy whisky; it doesn't
mean to give the baby a hammer
and looking-glass because he asks
for it, and it doesn't mean that we
should give to professional beggars
who travel from town to town. The
