In Chippewa county there are many
camps or settlements, each controlled
by recognized leader, and long before
the holidays the point of celebration Is
decided upon. By Christmas eve the
men, women and children have all as
sembled at the chosen camp, where
elaborate preparations have been made
for their comfort, and at 10 o'clock In
the morning Of that day the duly elect.

After his speech the oldest daughter

speeches are given, refreshments Of
many kinds are served. and family
groups flock together and relate their

by her advisers, examines and selects
the various fowls to be served on the

and form a large circle. the women
generally in plain woolen garments
and the men in high topped spiked
shoes and dark flannel shirts.
In the center Of the group stand the
husbandmen, or slayers of the fowls,
waiting. A grindstone and six men

group. At a prearranged signal all the
people begin a march around, singing
and dancing; the grindstones are put
In motion, the axes are laid upon them
and the celebration is on in earnest.
The singing, dancing and counter
marching are continued until the axes
have attained keen edge, when all
heads are uncovered, while a dozen
men hand up the fowls for decapita-

in charge, and soon they are prepared
for the earth ovens.
Feasting, drinking and dancing then
continue until the last day of the
year, when all depart to their various

WEAK KIDNEYS MAKE
 WEAK BODIES
Kidney Diseases Cause Half the Con- mon Aches and His of Pine
 Bluff People.

As one weak link weakens chain, so weak kidneys weaken the whole body and hasten the final break down.
 OverwoTl1, strains, colds and other causes injure the kidneys, and when their activity is lessened the whole body suffers from the excess of uric poison c rculated in the blood.
 Aches and pains and languor and urinary ills come, and there is an eV- er-increasing tendency towards dia- betes and fatal Bright's disease. There is no real help for the sufferer except kidney help.

WHY PROFESSIONALS
 PLAN VACATIONS

The following is going the rounds of the press throughout the state, and may account for some of the yaca- tions so quickly planned:
 Some of Pine Bluffs prominent professional and business men are planning to take long fishing or va cation trips to the woods of Michi- gan until the anti-red lights crusade inaugurated recently by City Attorney Sorrells shall have reached a term ination.
 Many heads of families have been placed in acutely painful situations on the witness stand recently in explain- ing, perforce, why they were in cer- tain houses at certain times and what they did while there.
 "So far, however, the judge and juries have been able to find only one man who would admit that any, thing but the most pressing matters of business called them to the places in question.
 Women residents of the neighbor- hoods of the questionable houses whose mistresses have been haled in- to court furnished the court the names of prominent men whose visits scan dalized them.''

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED.

DA1AA AN1h1S C1A4NANV4 OA OO4S0Os by focal applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitution al remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound of imperfect hearing, and when 1t is entirely closed, Deaf ness is the result and unless the in- flammation can be taken out and this tube restored to it's normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an in- famed condition of the mucous sur races.

A Hurt Dog Tells

The best proof that an individual or company is meeting with success is shown by knocking and petty jeal- ousy on the part of competitors.
 It is the fellow that is not doing anything that never gets the knocks but he becomes a specialist with the hammer. So when you hear a fel- low knocking, you can say he is a Hurt Dog-The other fellow has step ,, ped on his toes.
 You will find this the case with professional men-Business Men and all others.
 The Insurance Business is no ex- ception.
 The Consolidated Casualty Com pany has begun to step on their toes and they are beginning to yell.
 At first they began to whine, now oo Se'A A0oi IAoA1 y0iPlA6, Ou every corner. In fact they congregate and OLD TRAY YELPS and the LITTLE FIDOS bring in the chorus.
 When asked by the public why all this noise. Why we have new company in the field. We'll you have had them before. have never heard you in such pain and agony as this.
 Yes, But-Well hold on, don't they pay their claims? Yes, that is the trouble and they, are offering a $1OO reward for proof of any unpaid just claim.
 Well why don't you get that $1O0 and quit knocking. I can't find an unpaid claim. Are they prompt in the settlement of claims Yes, all the policyholder has to do is to have his physician fill claim blank and go to their office and receive drafts in full
 We'll, if this is the case. I see no reason of so much unwarranted knocking. We'll on the 0. T. I am going to confess to you their policies are so liberal, and they give their policyholders such a square deal, they are putting us out of business and we have to do this to hold some of our business. We feel encourag- ed over the above as our president assures us that knocking on the part of competitors means greater success
