FRESH AIR BEATS DRUGS
FOR THAT TIRED FEELING

Every once in awhile some one
learns something that he has known
all the time. Paradoxical as this may
seem, it is true. -. In a general way,
you know hundred things you only
half stop to think about and really
never put into practice. And then
some day by mere chance you find
out this old truth for yourself, and
from then on it seems like a. brand
new discovery to- you.
Perhaps, for instance, you have Of
ten heard that fresh air will do for
you what drugs couldn't accomplish,

Small Parcels from Bede'S Budget.

1t is we'll enough to lay plans for
the future, but don't look ahead for
trouble.
"De jure" means according to
law" but de jury don't always decide
that way.
Some men never haye but one idea,
but make good by sticking everlast-
ingly to it.
1t is usually those perfectly able to
read and write who invoke the aid
of the unwritten law.
Many of those who come into the
world half-baked will be able to COM
plete the job after leaving it.
Gymnastics are all right in their
place, bnt bed doing a marathon
race along your spinal column is not
the kind of an exhibition a person
enjoys.
A man gets to the front sometimes
by being showed there by those in
the rear.
The time is approaching when all
the live girls will want to be ice
creamated.
1T is not luck, but labor, that
makes men. Luck is ever waiting
for something to turn up; labor,
with keen eye and strong will, always
turn up something. Luck lies abed
and wishes the postman would bring
him news of legacy. Labor turns
out at 6, and with busy pen or ring
ing hammer, lays the foundation of
a competence. Luck whines. Labor
whistles. Luck relies on chance;
Labor on character. Luck steps
downward to self-indulgence; Labor
strides upward and aspires to indie
pendence. "-Cobden.

Our exchanges along the Evan
Marshall line of the Northwestern
are talking about the work that is
being done on the road-bed of that
line, in the way of crawling and bal
lasting it and strengthening the bridg-
es with heavier timbers. When that
line was first constructed it was pre-
dicted that some day it would be
used as the avenue of through traf-
fic between Pierre and Winona,
being shorter and capable of lighter
grades. Whether this is to come to
pass at this time or not, it will be
good news to know that the kinks are
to be taken out of its road bed
and it would be better still to learn
that trains were to be scheduled so
that people on that line could get
to the county seat by train quicker
than by walking.

WATER-POWER AND DRAINAGE.
United States to Aid State Drainage
Board in Conserving Waters.

A Washington dispatch states that
as result of recent conference at
the national capital between officials
of the government geological survey
and Senator Clapp, Representative
Steenerson, Secretary J. A. Schmahl
and State Engineer Ralph, arrange
ments will be made Immediately to
detail men from the field force of
the government survey to work
with the force of the state drainage
commission in Systematically inves-
tigating the water resources of this
state with view to their conserva-
ton.
The state commission already has
available information relating to the
Minnesota river and several smaller
streams in the northern part of the
state, as result of drainage surveys
and from which profile maps can be
made. The federal survey has full
information relative to the Missis-
sippi river, A joint force from the
state drainage commission will make
surveys of the St. Louis river above
Cloquet, Red river and streams in
the southern part Of the state, on
which it is believed small power sites
are available.
Information to be gathered will
include not only waterpoWer sites,
but also data available for the con-
struction of works for the proven
ton Of floods, reservoir sites and
other information relative to water
conservation in the states.
When this information is gathered
it will be published as bulletin by
the geological survey. Engineer
Ralph says that. at a rough guess.
he would say that fully 1000, 900
horsepower for the creation of cleo
trio energy could be developed on
the streams of Minnesota, and that
from the taxation of such grants as
could be made by the state, a hand
some revenue could be derived.

1t looks long way off, that Lake
Superior Mississippi canal, but the
Saltwater commercial club is taking
the project seriously and recently
sent two representatives to Duluth
to boom the scheme. Naturally the
Duluth newspapers see no objections
to making Duluth the head of navi-
cation on the Mississippi, and are
patting the Saltwater gentlemen on
the back. In general way, Mime
sofa has great resources in the way
of water, and it is time that atten-
ton was turned to the development
of the cheapest form of transporta-
ton known to man-navigatiOn by
water. 1t would certainly help
some if light draft steamboats, could
bring coal from the docks at Duluth
to the towns along the Minnesota
river, and stranger things have
come to pass.

A WOman'S Idea of Summer Comfort.

To every woman, especially the
woman who keeps house, the topic
of summer comfort in the home is
one of never-failing interest.
This is particularly true when COM
fort in the kitchen is concerned, as
it is in this one room that the most
trying part of the work is done, such
as cooking, baking, ironing and heat
ing water for wash-day purposes.
Even in cool weather such work is
not altogether welcome, but it be-
comes drudgery on days when the
mercury is trying to jump through
the top of the thermometer, aided
by hot stove that diffuses almost
unbearable heat through the kitchen.
But such days are past. With the
New Perfection Wick Blue Flame
Oil Cook Stove, kitchen drudgery
becomes kitchen comfort, for this
wonderful stove is so constructed
that it not only produces quick re-
suits, but does it without percepti-
bly, raising the kitchen temperature.
All this means real comfort to the
woman who works in the kitchen,
especially when considered with the
added advantages in the saving of
time; in the doing away with all
carrying of coal, wood and ashes; in
having stove that can be turned
on or off, high or low, as required:
and in not having to keep it lighted
when not in use.
Then there is the saving of fuel to
be considered and it is here that the
New Perfection excels. Although
equipped with three burners it has
but one oil reservoir, thus reducing
three separate filling operations to
one.

HOW TO BEAT THE CATALOGS.
Gordon Hat Man Tells How Live Home
Merchants Can Do 1t.

At the recent annual retail
merchants convention G.. w. Cor
don, the St. Paul hat and fur merch-
ant, concluded a talk on advertising
with the following practical counsel
and local merchants who follow his
advice will find that the speaker was
not talking through Gordon hat in
stating his conclusions:
There is nothing so good for a
town as live newspaper. 1t doesn' t
make any difference how small it is,
if it is live one it will grow and it
will bring business to every merch-
ant who advertises in it. Not an
occasional half-hearted ad to help
the proprietor along but a system
attic, vigorous campaign to help bus
mess along.
Just as the storekeeper thrives
on the patronage of the community
in which he lives. so does every one
else and the pulse of the town is its
newspaper. Find a bright. lively
paper and you are always sure that
the people round it are the right
kind.
There isn't any help that is
stronger in your fight against catalog
houses than your home paper. l
don't mean its editorial or news
columns. What is written there
helps, but the real story to the con-
sumner is told in the advertising col
umns by the home merchant.

ing now going on in Congress, but
every move at Washington is being
watched by them, and if the tariff
is not substantially revised in their
favor instead of in the interest of
the trusts, political revolution at
the next general election is newt
able. Just now it looks as though
the Senators from Minnesota and
Iowa, who seem to be speaking the
sentiments of the masses of the pro-
ducing classes throughout the great
west, are in the minority. But it is
too soon to despair of the possibility
of the senator from little Rhode
Island being overthrown. That the
tail of the nation should wag the
dog to this extent, is hardly con-
ceiyable.

An experienced Duluth business
man has properly solved the prob
lem of what to do when he gets mad
at any one with whom he has deals.
He has it out with his typewriter
and tells somebody what he thinks
of him and has it off his mind. In
stead of mailing the roast at once,
however, his invariable rule is to
hold it until the following day. In
this way he saves number of post
age stamps during the year and best
of all, gets rid of a large stock of
vain regrets over having made a
fool of himself. Abusive roasts
haye to be served hot to retain their
flavor and even then leave bad
taste in the mouth, A whole lot of
heartache and misery in this world
would be saved if men and women
sterilize their grouches and would
Harveyize their complaints according
to modern scientific ideas.

What's the use of railing at

two ladies were saved from being

an automobile by the protection af-
forded by their market-basket hats,
and another lady who was thrown
headlong against a telephone pole
escaped unframed on account Of
her head being protected by "rats"
in her hair. Why should not the
ladies be allowed to thus protect
themselves during the auto season?

was ever published.
The kind of a campaign that is
going to win for us all is the one
that has no end. We can never let
up on any competition but most OF
all on the picture book kind
that uses the United States
mail to try and knock out the small
towns that are the real strength of
the United States.
''The picture book with its vivid
description may hurt a sleepy town
but it will never seriously injure a
wide-awake community. Half a
dozen live merchants in any town,
hustling for business with the
merchandise to back up their state
ments will win out against a two
ton catalog.
Farmers are just like any one
else-they have got to be shown
but show them, advertise to them,
keep everlastingly at it and you will
find them dealing with the men they
know and have confidence in"

abuse of Cannon six months ago has

and gone to sleep, or did he sur

Is it possible he voted for the great

The recent supreme court decision
affirming the right of the Duluth
board of trade to transact it's bust
ness as heretofore and turning down
Attorney General Young's conten-
ton that it was combination in re-
straint of trade, lays down certain
principles which are of interest to
all combinations of laboring men as
we'll as business organizations. The
court says:
"a combination, the main pur-
poses and effects of which are to
foster the trade and increase the
business of those who make and OPP
crate it, and which only indirectly
and remotely restricts competition
in trade or business, is not con-
spiracy in restraint Of trade within
the meaning of the statute.
IAN agreement or combination

termining the value Of wages or 9TH

not within the prohibition of the
