Do Not Doubt
As Proofs of q Local Nature Are So
Numerous.

Those who have investigated the
claims that are made for the won
derful Root Juice do not doubt it's
great merit, a~s~proofs of a local ma
ture are sufficiently numerous to
convince the most skeptica1. Scores
of home people are rapidly recover
ing health after using the remedy
but a few days, and many Of them
r enthusiastically recommending
1t to their friends. AS q result peo-
pie are going in numbers through
all hours of the day to Laurer drug
store to see about it, and many of
them are buying 1t for themselves
and friends, and some who are US
ing 1t are ven advising their friends
by phone to try 1t.
A leading business man said a
well known lady phoned him and
said she had suffered with a bad
stomach and bowel trouble a long
time, and tried many different
things without relief, but after hear
ing so much of Root Juice h got
some of it and has only been using
it a short while, but the results are
wonderful. She said she couldn't
praise 1t sufficiently, as 1t has done
so much good for her. Such talk
is being heard all over town. Root
Juice is certainly a wonderful medi-
cine for troubles of the stomach, liv-
er and kidneys. The demonstrations
are now being conducted at Lauer
drug store. The people at the drug
store are well posted in relation to
the remedy and are glad to give any
information within their power.
Many are calling for a descriptive
circular.

RA o-~
AwfuIIy Busy,


The words are In eYerybody's mouth;
It Is the great American catch phrase,
says Table Talk. 1t is the excuse for
all shortcomings, the reason for every
mishap. On the whole, nobody seems
to regret being awfully busy; It is q
matter of satisfaction to be In the
fashion. To have a day of leisure, OF
even an hour to oneself, would argue
that M was not at all In the swim.
So there are many who multiply en-
gagements foolishly with the mistaken
idea that it ia keeping up with the
times to be awfully busy. With not a
few it amounts almost to a disease to
be always occupied, and the disease
finally develops into nervous prostra-
ton. 1t is a pity that we cannot learn
something from the ways of nature,
which is never in a hurry. There Is an
old proyerb which we would do well to
write upon our walls, Make haste
slowly" Here and there we find some
n living up to that standard, and we
feel at once the restfulness of such a
character. The calm. well poised per-
son who accomplishes great things and
who can be permanently relied upon
does very little talking. The worlds
real workers never complain of being
lawfully busy"

One Of the prettiest designs In bed
room towels seen for a long time Is

tered design Of sweet peas, a deep bor-
der Of the flowers appearing at the

TO HOLD

In this work as is the design If the
finished product Is to resemble delft
ware.
Varying but slightly In Idea and gen.
eral effect, the two bags show each a
different little Dutch figure, one of
them knitting, the other merely a face
and both of them done in a combina-
ton Of stitches, including outline, solid,
skeleton, cat stitch and laid work.
They are used to their best advan
tagc In the carrying out of each part
of the design, Al are also the several
shades of blue.
Dutch figures similar to these are
carried out in a whole line of art
needlework, including larger bags for
the family mending, laundry bags. bed
room hangings and couch cushions.
A prominent feature throughout the
whole lot of this delft blue fancy
work Is the standing or seated figure
of a woman knitting. She is charac-
teristic of her country-a thrifty house
mother providing for her family by
primitive means.
All of these figures are treated BY
that method known to the decorative
artist, a method that outlines it's most

The result Of the st. Paul election
is not particularly surprising. Henry
Haas is good, clean, able man, but
he suffered for the faults and mistakes
of others. st. Paul has been ruled so
long by the same crowd that smash
was inevitable. And the policy of the
Ramsey county democracy in late
years has not been such as to en-
courage independence of thought and
action among its members. The
people should rule, and no one should
grieve when they do so. Outside of
the fact that st. Paul will have a
mayer republican in politics. there
IS nothing In the result to cause any
Minnesota democrat dismay. The
Pioneer Press which supported Mayor.
elect Keller, says local issues only
were involved. The st. Paul election
will have little effect on results next
fall, outside Of giving our republican
friends now little Of the hope they
so sorelY need. SO tar as the new
mayor of st. Paul is concerned, he is
likely to give the city good ad-
ministratlon. His personal and public
record is clean, and he is a man Of
ability.

Unique Roadmakino Plan.

unique Matchmaking Plan.
Judge William E. Porter of Law
renee county, Pa, has unique idea
for improving the roads. His plan is
a Jail on wheels-that is, place where
prisoners can be locked up at night
and transported from place to place
and employed in roadmaking during
the day. He put his idea to a test, and
the results were eminently satisfac-
tory. The prisoners graded away
high hill on the West Pittsburg road
near Newcastle and constructed a
cement bridge over culvert eighty
feet long. The only expense to the
county from this bridge that would
ordinarily have cost thousands of dol
lars was for the material and the serv-
ices Of an engineer. The men en-
ployed were sentenced from ten to
ninety days and were informed that
the sentence would be materially
lessened If they would work on the
roads and not attempt to escape, and
they worked.
