A ,soman.s Complexion.

It is rank foolishness to attempt
to remove sallowness or greasiness
of the skin by the use of cosmetics,
or 'slocar" treatment, as advocated
by the 'beauty doctors. The only
safe and sure way that a woman can
improve her complexion is by purify.
ing and enriching the blood, which
can only be accomplished by keeping
the liver healthy and active. The
liver is the seat of disease and blood
pollution. Green's August Flower
acts directly on the liver. cleanses
and enriches the blosd, parifes the
complexion 1t also cures consti-
patton, biliousness, nervousness, and
induces refreshing sleep. A single
bottle of August Flower has been
known to cure the most pronounced
and distressing case of dyspepsia
and digestion. New trial size bottle

IRON RIVER

From the Pioneer

From the Pioneer
Next Sunday will be the fortieth
anniversary of the marriage OF Mr..
and E, HI. Marion. of this city, and
they are making preparations to
celebrate the event at their home.
They have not issued personal in
yitations but have announced that
all their old friends and neigh
bors will be welcomed to come and
enjoy the day with them. Mr.. and
Mrs. Marion have resided in Iron
River for twenty years. or during
one half of their married lives, and
they desire the celebration of their
wedding anniversary TO take on
something of the nature of gather
ing of the older inhabitants of the
city.
Washburn will be something OF
a numbering town once more. A
few years ago the mills of the city
consisted of four large plants, but
the number dwindled down to one,
and that one was sold to Chicago
parties who did not have stock to
supply it and apparently did not
know what they bought it for. Dur
ing the early winter when it became
known that the Stearns Lumber
Company, of Odanah. was looking
for few mills to cut their large
amount of fire-damaged timber dur
ing the coming season, the citizens
of Washburn got together and in
duced the Stearns people to buy the
mill. A large crew of millwrights
and other workmen have been busy
nearly all winter rebuilding the
mill, and it is said that the mill will
be practically new when the steam
is applied shortly after navigat ton
opens on the bay. This was encour-
aging to the people over there who
were afraid that lum boring in Wash
burn was thing of the past, But
now comes the announcement that
Washburn is to have still another
mill. during the coming season, to be
constructed and operated by local
people.

spent few days here during the
week visiting with his sister, Miss
Alice.
F. J. Meehan, John Gautschi,
Nels Myhre and three other Wash
burn gentlemen passed through the
city last Tuesday morning on their
way to Duluth, where they went to
prove up on their timber claims in
Northern Minnesota.
When you see man digging in
his back yard during the coming
week. would you guess that he had
commenced early on his garden
work, or that he was looking for a
choice breakfast for poor little
trout?

A Busy Microbe.

Down where the ripe bananas
On friendly branches swing,
Where presidents hold Office
BY methods of king.
The revolution microbe
Is stirring with the spring.
For one who loves adventure
Or who for power has need
Three privates and captain
Is ample force, indeed,
To make a revolution
Revolve with dizzy speed.
They do not need the ballot
Elections to decide.
They settle things by rifles,
With axes on the side,
Bring out a show of f1intiOcks
And into Office slide.
The game by strong arm methods
Without reproof they play,
And for little season
The victor has his day.
The revolution microbe
Must have it's little way.

weak kidneys and though I tried
several remedies, l was unable TO

CONTRARY.

Jun mani.
Spring is mostly sweet and kind,
And to it we are resigned;
But, alas, to our surprise,
It can be, if but it tries,
Quite the meanest season that
In the twelve months comes to bat.
Quite enamored of it's smile,
How we brag about Its style,
Backing 1t for all we're worth
AS the greatest thing on earth!
Then there comes the lightning SHIFT
And we bump into a drift.
When it's good and feeling fit
Nothing's in the class with 1t.
When it isn't. then, great Scott,
It's the limit, like as not,
From the sweetest thing In sight
Changes to perfect fright.
Has as many moods, I ween,
AS girl of sweet sixteen.
Never know as you arise
Just the kind of surprise
1t will bring before the sun
Sinks and says the day Is done.
Maybe cold and maybe hot
One can never dope the plot,
For the wiSeSt cannot know
Whether 1t will rain or snow
Or will on the world expand
With smile to beat the band.
