QUEER WEDDING GIFTS.
ohO Couple of Mature Years Received
 Pair of Collins.

Pair of Coffins.
 An Englishman extremely fond of hunting received as a wedding gift from an anonymous person a complete set of false limbs a set of artificial teeth and couple of glass eyes, to procure all of which the sarcastic donor must. of course, have put him. self to considerable expense. Accom-, panying these strange presents was a note wherein the hope was expressed that. by reason of the recipients many falls while following the hounds. some or ali of these substitutes might ulti- mately prove of use. As the bride groom had incurred much enmity while holding office under his government, it was supposed that these gifts came from a disappointed office seeker. A well known American writer ra ceived from rival man of letters a scrap book wherein were carefully pasted and indexcd many hundreds of clippings containing adverse criticisms touching the formers work. and a popular artist was presented with set OA eIGlH6LltdEy WVIhS .upOA SGl1 AASIIuf.' tion in drawing and painting,

Naturally enough the. bridegroom resented this singular if useful gift. and it took all the efforts of mutual friends to prevent breach of the peace.

All sections of northern Minnesota
should be fully represented at the
development and reapportionment
convention which will be held in
Bemidji Thursday and Friday, Feb
ruary 1918; and there is no reason
why all villages, towns and cities, as
we'll as county organizations, ETC.,
should not participate in the delibera-
tions of the convention. No ques-
tions are of more import to this part
of the state then development and
reapportionment; and the discussions
will not stop with these subjects.
Any matter that is considered of
value to the north country can be
taken up and considered and acted
upon as to future attitude of the Sec
tions represented at the convention.
While we may have some few minor
sectional differences between our
selves, everyone should bear in mind
that these differences are to be drop
ped and all are going to pull together,
unitedly and strongly for northern
Minnesota, that she may come into
her own.

fellow citizens when he alighted from
the train that here him to his home

completed a sentence in prison for
contempt of court in connection with
the lynching of Ed Johnson, a negro
Bands struck up Dixie as the train
pulled in and instantly the surging
throng was in a state of widest enthu-
siasm. Men wept, shouted and laughed
almost in the same breath; women be-
came frantic. There was imminent
danger for time of panic. -.---.
AS Captain Shipp walked slowly
down the length of the shed he was
greeted by his aged wife, who sobbed
quietly upon his breast for moment.
This greeting over the bands played

Captain Shlpp was so moved that he

This coming year has much in store
for Bemidji. Choose wisely the
men that should govern this fair
city of ours during the present year.
With the right men in the right
places, Bemidji should accomplish,
during the next year, really more
than it ever has before during the
same period of time. We've got the
men and we've got the spirit, exercise
your voting rights next election

LIFE ISN'T WORTH LIVING
When this Statement is made II May
be Generally Attributed to the
Lack Of Good Health.

We want to talk to people who
are nervous, who suffer frequent
headaches, who don't enjoy their
food, who are irritable, quickly
lose their temper, who are so ex-
hausted that they feel they must
give up, and have become so de-
spondent that life doesn't seem
worth living. We believe we
know what is the matter with these
people in this condition, and if
they will follow our advice we can
tell them how to regain good
health and that buoyancy of feel.
ing which makes life seem sur
rounded with happiness and sun
shine.
Most Of the above described con-
ditions are chiefly caused by what
is commonly called catarrh, a
"below par" condition of mucous
membranes. This delicate lining
of certain of the body cavities be-
comes weakened, inf1amed and
congested until the whole system
is weakened, mental depression en-
suing as one of the results. The
wise way to overcome this cond1-
ton is through a treatment, of
the general system. We have the
treatment, and we are so positive
it will produce the results we claim
for it that we will supply it to any
one with the understanding that
we will return to them every pen
ny paid us in every instance where
the treatment is not in every way
satisfactory and beneficial to them.
We want you to try Rexall Mucu-
Tone, which is a scientifically de-
vised Alternative tonic and body
builder, its action being to aid the
body in its efforts to re-establish
the natural and healthy functions
of the mucous membranes.
Rexall Mucu-Tone thus acts to
expel the "catarrhal-poison, re-
store the mucous cells to good
health, tone up the whole body,
allay inflammation, remove conges-
ton and stimulate the system to
healthy activity. It is splendid
for aiding in the building up of
flesh and muscle tissue and remov-
ing weaknesses.
Come to our store and get bot
tie of Mucu-Tone, and after giving
it reasonable trial, if you are not
satisfied, simply tell us SO, and we
will hand back your money with
out question. Surely no thin 6
could be more fair than this.
Rexall Mucu- Tone comes IN two
sizes, so cents and s1.oo. Re-
member you can obtain Rexall
Remedies in Bemidji only at our
store, The Rexall Store. Bar
ker's Drug Store.
