WE WANT NORTH
PARK COUNTY

You will see in the Review where in
the name we suggest has been taken
exception to. Add to the article for the
benefit of the Park people. That the
exception taken by the Review is just
the J reason why we do want North
Park County, that it does identify us
with the products of our county, as
known and advertised throughout the
west.
Every thing is going fine and unless
something unforeseen arises, we have
got a sure thing.

NEEDFUL KNOWLEDGE Bridgeport People Should Learn to Detect the Approach of Kidney
 Disease.

The symptoms of kidney trouble are SO unmistakable that they leave no ground for doubt. Sick kidneys eX- crete a thick, cloudy, offensive urine, full of sediment, irregular of passage or attended by a sensation of scalding. The back aches constantly, headaches and dizzy spells may occur and the victim is often weighed down by a feeling of languor and fatigue. Neg lect these warnings and there is dan ger of dropsy, Brights Disease, or di- abetes. Any one of these symptoms is warning enough to begin treating the kidneys at once. Delay often proves fatal.
 l You can use no better remedy than Doan's Kidney Pills. Here's Bridge port proof:
 Mrs. Thomas Burns, 1928 Iranistan Ave-. Bridgeport, Conn.,, says: My husband suffered from a dull aching in the small of his back for a long time. His kidneys were in a weaken ed condition and the secretions from these organs were very irregular in action. On friends advice he be- gan using Doan's Kidney Pills and this remedy cured him. During the ten years which have intervened, MT. Burns has had no return of kidney trouble and has remained loyal friend of Doan's Kidney Pills. He uses neys have become disordered and the best of results are always received .''

Benu of Fort Sheridan.

Once a man who had the reputation of never having been beaten for the position of orderly came from another regiment. Private Haarscher and the newcomer. as luck would have it, were detailed for guard the same day. The whole garrison turned out to see which one the adjutant would pick for the coveted place. To all outward signs there was no difference in the neatness and soldierly appearance of the two men.
 The officer spent about twenty min utes examining the rifles, belts, car fridge boxes and brasses of the two soldiers. There was absolutely nothing to choose between them in point of neatness of appearance. Finally, as a last resort, the adjutant unbuttoned the blouse of the new claimant for or derly honors. He found a somewhat faded but absolutely clean undershirt.
 The officer passed to Haarscher and undid three buttons of his blouse. Haarscher had on a brand new suit of silk underwear that must have cost him months pay It was the other man on that day who walked past post in the hot sun. while Haarscher did 'lolling duty'' in the shade in front of the commandant's quarters. He was a Frenchman through and through, and he was more proud of it than of any thing else save the American citizen ship which he had won by enlisting un- der the American flag.-Chicago Post.

Wronslx Named Pests.

The origin of the so called San Jose scale is not certainly known. but it is reasonably sure that 1t was brought from China about 1870 on some plants imported by James Lick and placed on his property in the Santa Clara valley. By 1880 it had come to be recognized as a serious pest and in that year was found near San Jose and described by Professor Comstock, who named it Aspidiotus perniciosus" That name being too hard for most of us. the pest has become known the world over as the San Jose scale from the place where it was first found by Professor Comstock, very much to the disgust of the people of that city and vicinity, who do not suffer from 1t in any appre- ciable degree.-San Francisco Chroni- cle

Everyday Miracles.

"Bullinches fed on hemp seed turn quite black" said naturalist. Horses kept in coal mines for several years become covered with soft, thick fur like mole. The mastiff of Tibet, who in the Tibetan highlands has a heavy coat of wool. loses his coat completely when he is brought down to the plains. The ermine in his snow infested home turns white in the winter. but if he is taken for the winter to a warm climate he does not turn white at all. Quite amazing altogether are the changes that with food and environment we can effect on all living creatures, even on man."-Philadelphi Bulletin.

Woodcraft.

Woodcraft holds the key to natures storehouse. A camper should know for himself how to outfit, how to select and make a camp, how to wield an ax and make proper fires, how to cook, wash, mend; how to travel without los ing his course or what to do when he has lost it; how to trail, hunt. shoot, fish, dress game, manage boat or ca noe and how to extemporize such make shifts as may be needed in wilderness faring. And he should know these things as he does the way to his mouth. Then he is truly a woodsman. sure to do promptly the right thing at the right time, whatever befalls. Such man has an honest pride in his own resourcefulness. a sense of Preserve force, doughtX self reliance that is good to feel. His is the confidence of the lone sailorman who whistles as he puts his tiny bark out to sea-Out- doors.

 It is interesting to note that Sub- stantially the same recommendations are contained in the report of the Com mission on Country Life submitted by President Roosevelt to Congress on February 9th, nearly a month after this convention.
 Thus far the only thing accomplished by the convention was the formation of national organization-the Fedora tion of Jewish Farmers of America Whether this organization will be able to attain the objects which called it into existence it is yet too early to make any forecasts. Some of these will no doubt be carried through; Oth- CTS probably not. But whether any thing else is accomplished, the fact that the farmers came together; that they found common ground for united effort; and that their views are in con- sonance with the best thoughts of the day is not 9. bad beginning.

It was very spec tacular in many respects. was floored by actual count just seventeen times in the six rounds. I was not to be denied altogether, as I put Head mark down five times for the count as well.
 The entire audience was in a con- tinual uproar from start to finish, first cheering for Headmark and then for me.
 This was due to our continual slug ging and our earnest efforts in trying to knock each other out. The people all over the city of Chicago talk about this great battle even to this day.
 AS you can see, fights were coming pretty regular now for the boy from Hegewisch. and I was losing no op- portunity to make little coin.
 Lost Fight on a Foul.
 Itis not up to me to begin to knock; but. strange as 1t may seem, the only two fights in which lost on a foul the referee was the late George Siler, the we'll known referee and pugilistic ex- pert of the Chicago Tribune.
 The first was to Pete Boyle in Chi cago Dec. 1, 1900. and the second was to Cans in Goldfeld. Incidentally I fought two fights on the day lost to Boyle. and you can bet I was a very busy person.
 The battle with Boyle was a slash ing one from the jump, with me doing all the punishing, leading and real scrappIng. I was a mile in front in the fourth round and had Boyle hang ing on the ropes and all but out when MT. Siler sprang forward and Stopped the fight.
 His contention was that had fouled Boyle. He thereupon, with the assist ance of Boyle's seconds, helped him to his corner and gave him the battle. When Siler interfered and declared my opponent the victor there was quite a demonstration in the club in my favor. mind you. the members be- ing of the unanimous opinion that I had done nothing during the round which warranted my being disquali- fled. I was paid $25 for my participa- ton in the f1asco.
 I was firm in the belief that I had been wrongfully accused, but there was nothing to be done but submit, and that did as gracefully as could. But didn't like it.
 Two Battles Tn One Day.
 Not satisfied with the ending of the Boyle go and remembering that had dated up with Danny McMahon to meet him in a four round go at the Hibernian society entertainment, book ed to take place at their hall, I in- stantly donned my street clothes, grab bed a rattler. and in a few moments I was on the spot ready to proceed with my second fight of the day. Danny and mixed things up rather lively for four full rounds, and at its conclusion the referee decided that we had both fought a valiant scrap. and he held up both our hands. signaling a draw
 When the friendly Irish handed me a crisp five dollar note for my work out I was tickled, and I rolled home fairly well pleased with the busy days doings. To make $50 in one day was oot so bad. eh?
