Our state grain commissioner, H.
o. Brown, of Minneapolis, writes the
following letter to the farmers, grain
growers and shippers of North Da-
kota regarding some of the conditions
as he finds them, both at Duluth and
Minneapolis terminals, for q period of
four months, including September,
October, November and December,
during the heavy shipment of grain
from all country points to terminals.
The shipper, both private and far
mers' elevator companies, in the
large majority of instances are very
careless in their shipments and less
than ten per cent Of all cars received
are carded showing the date Of ship.
ment, the total number of pounds of
grain loaded into the car by shipper,
and the car initial. The Minnesota
law requires this, however. Every
shipper of grain should weigh his
ed, either using a standard street
scale, or an automatic trip scale,
which can easily be attached to your
shipping bin in your country elevat-
or at a nominal cost, and are guar
anteed not to vary from the state
weight given at terminals to exceed
one bushel on each car. But as it
is, and has been for years past, you
have been shipping your grain with
out special regard as to the legal
requirements, the result is, you will
find upon looking over the state
weighmaster's records, Mr.. p. P.
Quist's of Minneapolis, or Mr.. F. M.
Schutte's of Duluth, that there is a
variance in state weights, as COM
pared to the shippers weights rang
ing from one hundred pounds to one
thousand and ten thousand pounds,
and even as high as 21,25O pounds on
a car, either shortages, or often
times an average. OF course, it is
not possible for such Discrepancies to
occur other than the lack of the ship
per to carefully weigh every pound
Of wheat that he has loaded into his
car but instead simply estimates his
car of grain or the car has sprung a
bad leak while in transit.
My advice to every shipper is to
weigh your grain and show
on the shipping card the number of
loads or drafts made and the net
weight of each load or draft and to-
tai amount of grain loaded. Then
Instead of billing out your grain at
an estimated weight, according to
the size of the car loaded, as all rail-
way companies and their agents ex-
act or request you to do, bill them
out at the actual weight loaded into
the car. Then If you have tackled a
card on your grain door showing the
actual amount loaded in, and upon
receipt Of your grain, either at Du-
luth or Minneapolis, or any other
weighing station, the
state weighmaster's attention is at
once called to your weights as they
appear on the shippers card. AS
soon as he has weighed your car of
grain he at once will notice any
shortage and If there was from one
to three thousand pounds short,
which I could show you in hundreds
of instances, he would look the car
over carefully for breaks or leaks,
which no doubt would account for the

iNvokES DIVINE REGULATION
OF MUCkRAkERS

Rev. Henry N. Couden, the blind
chaplain of the house Of representa-
tives, astonished the members Of that
body by praying for divine guidance
to lead muckrakers to rake before
their own doors before attending to
the litter in front of their neighbors'
homes" He said:
"Since the purity of the home de-
ponds upon the purity of those who
compose it, the character of the ma
ton depends on the people who make
up the nation. Help US, therefore, as
individuals to strive earnestly to
cast out the beam from our own eye
that we may see clearly to pull the
mote out Of our brothers eye. If we
are to become muckrakers, help us
to rake before our own door and If
we have time then let US help our
neighbor. Since cant and hypocricy
are the most heinous of all sins, de-
liver us, we pray Thee, from them"

ADVICE TO WOMEN
A MESSAGE FROM A FAMOUS
BEAUTY SPECIALIST TO Wo.
MEN LACKING IN ENERGY
AND VITALITY

Thousands of women vainly at
tempt to improve their compilations
and to remove blackheads, crows
feet and other blemishes, through the
use of cosmetics. This treatment
fails because the trouble lies far
deeper than the skin. They are suf-
fering from impure and impoverished
blood. This condition is in many
cases due to a catarrhal condition of
the whole system which finds its ex-
preston in sallow, mouldy complex
ions, dark-circled eyes, general weak
ness of the system, and perhaps most
plainly in the weeping of mucous
membranes that is commonly called
catarrh.
In fact, this whole tendency is,
properly speaking, Catarrh. Danish
this catarrh, and the complexion will
clear as if by magic, eyes will bright
en-, faces become rosy and shoulders
erect. Perfect beauty goes only with
perfect health, and perfect health for
women can only be obtained through
one certain treatment-that which
will cure catarrh.
Nine. Swift, New York, the famous
beauty specialist, known throughout
the world and an accepted authority
on all relating thereto, states that
the one positive and permanent relief
for catarrh is Rexall Mucu-Tone.
Here is her letter:
II can strongly endorse the claims
made for Rexall Mucu-Tone as a cure
for systemic catarrh. It's tonic ef-
fects are remarkable. It builds up
the strength and restores vitality. II
women who are tired and run down,
lacking in energy and vitality, will
use Rexall Mucu-Tone, they will
praise as I do it's strengthening and
healing qualities"
Rexall Mucu-Tone works through
the blood, acting thus upon the mu.
cous cells-the congestion and infam-
nation of which causes local catarrh.
This remedy causes poison to be
expelled from the system, and the
blood is purified and revitalized.
Thus the natural functions of the
mucous cells are cleansed and made
strong. We know shat Rexall Mucu'
Tone does relieve catarrh. We posi-.
lively guarantee to refund the money
paid us for this remedy in every
case where the user is dissatisfied.
It is a builder Of vigorous health
and a creator Of good compilations.
Price so cents and $500 per bottle.
Mail order filed. It may be obtained
only at our store, The Rexall Store,
