Epilepsy,
Fits

''My son was cured of a very
bad case of epilepsy with DIR.
Miles Nervine.'
MRS. D. BAKER, Cleveland, Q.
my little daughter who was
afflicted with St. Vitus' Dance
is now entirely well after taking
DR.. Miles Nervine only four
months
MRS. C. G. BENNETT,
Alma, Mich.
Epilepsy, Fits, St. Vitus'
Dance and Spasrns, are all nerv-
Gus diseases. They have been
cured in so many instances with
DR.. Miles Nervine that it is
reasonable to conclude that it is
almost sure to cure you. With
nervous diseases of a severe
type, persistent use has almost
invariably resulted in a complete
cure or lasting benefits, worth
many times the cost of the rem
edy. The best evidence you can
get of its merits is to write to
those who have used it. Get a
bottle from your druggist. Take
it all according to directions, and
if it does not benefit he will re-
turn your money.

Without exception, the former
Redwood Falls citizens we saw
looked healthy and contented and
confirmed our impression that Spo-
kane is pretty good town to live in
as we'll as to do business in.
Our ride to North Yakima next
morning took US through the grain
growing section of the Palouse val
ley, where harvesting was going on
and where we had our first glimpse
OF a combined harvester and thresh-
er in action in a large field of dead
ripe wheat, the motive power being
a score or more of horses. The rail-
road afterward entered one of the
arid sections bordering the head
waters of the Columbia river, where
sage brush cactus, and occasional
small herds of cattle or horses were
about the only things seen until the
crossing of the Columbia was
reached at Pasco. From this point
westward we began to pass various
irrigated tracts, until finally the
wide and fertile section around
North Yakima opened to view. Of
this city and the pleasant expert
ences we had there with old friends
from Redwood Falls who have found
and good homes in this
famous section, we will tell at some
length in our next letter. j..

The Toboggen Slide.

Owing to the near drowning of
young Mclean there has been a
good bit of alarm over the re-
ported danger of using the slide.
Some have advocated that it be re-
moved by the city authorities. To
test the matter the reporter took the
slide the other evening. He is just
fair swimmer and would not be
equal to any severe or dangerous
test. The Gazette now thinks it
would be an uncalled for interior
ance with the pleasure of the young
men, who solicited for and largely
built the toboggan, for the city to
tear it down.
1t was built with the express un-
derstanding that it was not to be
used by any but good swimmers.
That fact was announced to every
body on the evening it was opened
for use. No one else has any bust
ness to attempt to use it.
To a moderately good swimmer it
is safer than to dive from a boat
in the same depth of water. There
is not as much shock and the craft
sinks SO gradually there is plenty of
time to take breath before it goes
under water.
Parents should insist that no child
get upon it until he can swim at
least twice the distance from the
curb Of the bath pool to the bank
easily and without assistance. 1t
should not be too much crowded as
the plunge when too heavily loaded
might throw some off or they might
be interfered with by the others
when first leaving it. Perhaps it
would be we'll to limit it's use to the
hours when there is police protection
at the pool but to tear it down is
neither necessary nor fair to the
young men who have built it.

GLIMPSES OF SPOKANE, WASH.
And Some Former Redwood People Seen
by The Editor While on His VaCa-

Sumas, Wash, o-11-9.

SumdS, w ASH, o-1l-S.
Spokane, the metropolis of east
ern Washington, impresses the yis-
itor as winning city in every way.
It's buildings in the main are new
looking and original in their archi-
tectural lines, and not all made
after one pattern, and the men and
women met with in the stores and
on the streets might be described in
the same terms. There is plenty of
reserve power in evidence in this
beautiful western city and its ESQ.,
900 club will sooner or later replace
their slogan with half-million goal,
and win out.
But we were not so much inter-
ested in Spokane's present or fu-
ture as in some of it's citizens who
had take n their first lessons in build
ing up cities at Redwood Falls.
John H. Bowers and DR.. Schlegel
both have offices in the Hyde block,
on one of the main thoroughfares,
and these we sought out and found
the morning after our arrival. Ro-
bert Turrell was also easily located
IN the engineering department of
the Great Northern, having just re-
turned from a trip to Kalispell.
While chatting with Judge Bowers,
Miss Frances Carpenter dropped in
to have certificate made out for
the Spokane land drawings, and
very soon after her departure Rev.
E. c. Nicholson walked in from the
elevator and helped hold small re-
union of Redwood Falls citizens.
Elder Nicholson informed US that he
was getting back his voice so that
he was able to preach in his pulpit
again, and that he was going to Sc
attic to visit a brother there.
AS it practically took the entire
afternoon for the writer to go out
to Occur d'Alene and register for
the land distribution, our schedule
did not permit up to look up George
Dickinson, Frank Curtis and one or
two others we intended to see. We
did find Paul Hitchcock, however,
who was looking we'll and has a posi-
ton in busy stationery store in the
same block in which Messrs. Bowers
and Schlegel have their officers.

We Take 1t Back.

In recent article the writer
spoke of an editor acquaintance of
the city as sometime" lawyer. In
legal phase this is equivalent to say
ing that formerly he was a lawyer.
In other words, before he yielded
the quill that he practiced law.
There was no intention of stirring
up any 'pent up Utica" or being
discourteous. The question was one
of evidence and the article recog-
nized that it was being discussed by
two men who had seen practice and
presumably knew something about
law. In view Of the heat and pas
sion displayed | am willing to with
draw the remark and admit that the
brother never was a lawyer, isn't
now and couldn't be, if that is what
he wants. Or if he has construed it
into any claim or even insinuation
that when he practiced he was not
a world beaten | will admit that
when he left Iowa the bar lost its
bright particular star Anything
and everything to end an incipient
war. AS a matter of fact all know
about it is what the brother has told
| believe every word he
says about anything.
