A curious custom prevails at HuAy- nfnghsien. in KwangsI. On the if teenth day of the first month in each year all the young ladies and gentle men take walk to the Yenyen noun tain. Each damse1 carries little box, which she deposits at the foot of the hill. Any yoang gentleman desirous of entering the bonds of matrimony may select one of the boxes and take 1t away with him. whereupon the fair owner of the box makes herself known, and an acquaintanceship is thus formed III assorted matches are not likely to occur, as this custom is observed only among the well to do classes of society.

ONE MILLION DOLLARS
FOR A GOOD STOMACH
This Offer Should be a Warning to
Every Man and Woman.

The newspapers and medical
journals have had much to say
relative to a famous millionaire s
offer of million dollars for a new
stomach.
This great multi-millionaire was
too busy to worry about the condi-
ton of his stomach. He allowed
his dyspepsia to run from bad to
worse until in the end it became
incurable. His misfortune should
serve as warning to others. Every
one who suffers with dyspepsia for a
few years will give everything he
owns for a new stomach.
Dyspepsia is caused by an alb.
normal state of the gastric juices.
There is one element missing-Pep.
sin. The absence of this destroys
the function of the gastric fluids.
They lose their power to digest food.
We are now able to supply the
pepsin in form almost identical to
that naturally created by the system
when in normal health, so that it
restores to the gastric juices their
digestive power, and thus makes the
stomach strong and we'll.
We want every one troubled with
indigestion and dyspepsia to come
to our store and obtain a box OF
Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets. They
contain Observation-Disclosures and
Pepsin prepared by aprocess which
develops their greatest power to
overcome digestive disturbance.
Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets are very
pleasant to take. They soothe the
weak stomach, strengthen
land invigorate the digestive organs,
relieve nausea and indigestion, pro.
mote nutrition and bring about a
feeling of comfort.
If you give Rexall Dyspepsia
Tablets a reasonable trial we will
return your money if you are no,
satisfied with the result. Three
sizes, rs cents, so cents and S1.00.
Remember you can obtain Rexall
Remedies in Bemidji only at our
store.- Rexall Store. Bankers

Representative SteenerSOn is not
the only Congressman who has been
maligned and blackguarded in the
columns of the organ of that Cleve-
land organization which calls itself
the Merchant Marine league because
of its OPPOSITION to subsidy legislation
it favors. Congressman Kuster-
man of Wisconsin is an old and con.
sistent opponent of of such legisla-
ton. Early in the session be called
the attention of the House to a
malicious attack on him in the
American Flag, the sheet in which
the league vituperates men who will
not vote as it orders them to. He
also read a letter written to one of
his constituents by the editor of that
sheet in which the editor rejoices
over the prospect of Debating
The subsidized and retained
congressional representatives of the
foreign shipping interests who have
deliberately deceived their constitu.
ents for years, and who have prac.
ticed fraud and infamy in their attack
on the American Flag, and whose real
loyalty is to Hamburg Germany, in
stead of to the United States"
Mr.. FISHERMAN was resident OF
Hamburg before he came to the
United States.
Congressman STEVENSON charges
that money was sent to resident
of his home town to get information
about his private affairs, and tina,
he was told it was to be used in
articles to appear in the public
press, the object being to intimidate
him and make him change his posi-
ton on the pending SUBSIDY DILL
He has not been inundated. He
has asked the House for an investi
CATION. There should be one.
These are the methods of the
Merchant Marine league of Cleve,
land, Ohio. Now, where does that
concern get its inspiration? Who
supplies the sinews of war for it:
malevolent campaign? 1t is never q
asserting that all who are agains,

sidized by foreign shipping interests
