GOOD, SENSIBLE, POLITICAL AD-
VICE.


Editor Sheaf:
With election only few days off,
it is time that our voters should come
to conclusion, as to where they are
going to place their marks, when it
comes to marking their. ballots.
AS one anxious to see the best man
win out, regardless of party, I venture
to make a few remarks on the SUBJ
ject, in hopes that you will have space
for their publication in your valuable
paper Time was when the appella-
ton Republican" tDemocrat,'' etc.,
as the case might be, was the magic
word that landed a candidate in Of
flee regardless of qualifications and
character. They have been "open
sesames" to which every office door
has yielded. There was time when
our worthy political guardians dared
to come and admonish us to vote the
''straight" ticket for the sake of par
" IOydlCy. IL Wdo IAe I1AAe "AoiA
membership in the party in power
was synonomous with election. For
tunately the world is growing beyond
these narrow ideas of civic duty. Now
the question is becoming more and
more, as it should, first of all, ''Who,
is the man and what is his reputation
and character?'' The time is at
hand when it takes something more;
than party to elect a man to Office. 6
Considering the matter fairly, why
should it not be thus? Why should
we today elect a less capable and de-
! sirable. man to Office, just simply be-
cause he is Republican? Certainly
we can hope for no valuable service
from man who cannot back up his
party creed by his own manhood and
character. Therefore I say, let us
look, first of all, at a mans record
and reputation when he comes around
and asks for our political support If
mans main qualification for an Of
flee lies in the fact that he happens
to stand upon this or that party's plat
form, it certainly seems a mighty
''slim'' one. ,..4.
The writer is and always has been
a Republican. While he is proud of
the G. o. P. and intends to remain a
progressive Republican, it seems to
him that party loyalty has no right to
demand that he shut his eyes to the
merits of the different candidates. The
best man is entitled to the support Of
every true citizen, no matter whether
he is Republican or a Democrat.
1.-The voter who let's his party loyalty
dominate his actions to the extent Of
turning down the best man, is not a
true and desirable citizen. One can
not help but like men Of the stamp Of
John Lind, who when speaking on be-
half Of the Democratic candidate for
hgovernor, still had the franness and
courage to urge the Importance Of
electing q legislature friendly to the
reelection Of our present Republican

forenoon, and at one o'clock he asked
Tom Keefe who had been assisting at
various jobs that day, to hold the
nozzle for a moment while he caught
a breath of air. They were then in
side the front doorway. Just as Mr.
Keefe took hold, the center wall fell
with a crash burying him several feet
deep in the hot debris. In a few
minutes he was extricated and al
though bruised and bleeding about
the head he was able to walk. He
was taken to the hospital and we are
told that he will soon recover sufh-
GENTLY to return home
The most threatening outside walls
were taken down on Monday after
noon to prevent others being injured
and the others have been razed today,
so that now there is nothing left of
the big store but huge pile of bricks.
AS soon as there seemed to be dan
ger that the fire would spread south
ward, the business men in that part
of the block began to move out.
Stromstedt & Co., who had a tailor
shop next door moved their goods. E.
L. Tornell moved everything out of
his restaurant and John Stromquist's $
shoe repair shop, the Warren Regis
ter printing plant and Fred Swan
sons harness and shoe shop were
partly emptied of their contents, caus-
ing a great deal of work and consid-
cradle loss.
The loss of K. J. Taralseth Co, on
stock and building will be very heavy.
At this time of the year they carried
a very large stock of goods for the
fall and holiday trade. The build
ing alone was valued at $4,000 and
the value Of the stock was probably
100000 to $4,000 making the total
loss approximately 100000. The in
surance carried was $4,000 to $4u,-
600. The loss and inconvenience to
their business until a new building
can be erected will also be very large.
Ralph Taralseth, the manager of the
store is already planning to erect a
larger and better building next sum-
mer and the work of clearing the site
will be begun in few days. Although
their loss is great, the Taralseth boys
have the sam:e grit aid perseivera 'ce

Exaggerated reports of the fire

To Reduce the Waist Measure
Dear Mrs. Symes.

Dear Mrs. SymeS
/. Please tell me OF some exercise which
will reduce my waist line
2. BY what exercise may ! develop my
bust and hips?
g. BY what exercise may I develop my
arms? CONSTANT READER
1. Deep breathing will help to reduce
the waist measure and enlarge the bust.
The stretching exercises, too are splen-
did as waist depleters. Raise the arms
high above the head: then. holding knees
straight. try to touch the floor with the
fingertips. Stand erect, place hands on
hips. bend from waist as far as possible
to the right: then to the left
q As stated above, deep breathing will
help to develop the bust. Massage with
cocoa butter will help also The fol-
lowing exercise Is excellent for develop
ing the hips: Stand alternately on each
foot, swing the free limb pendulum fash
ion from the hips. each time allowing it
to go a5 far forward and backward as
possible.
3. Exercises with dumbbells will help
to develop the arms. Massage with
cocoa butter may be applied here, too.

should be arranged softly over the brow,
and the happy medium of not too much
forehead and not too little showing is
the thing to be striven for. Then, too,
the hair should be arranged differently
by way of attractive variety. All little
tendrils that have persistent way of
falling down in untidy strings should be
curled and pinned up with invisible pins
Neatness is a characteristic that will
cover a multitude of gray hairs.
Keep a watchful eye on your back
Have plenty Of mirrors around and
look long and carefully at the back Of
your dress First of ALL do not let the
shoulder blades protrude or the flesh
accumulate in fat ridges at the upper
part. An excellent exercise is to stand
and to move the shoulder joints with
the hanging arms upward, backward
and downward, repeating the rotary mo-
ton ten or twenty times. The shoulder
blades are moved fatty into their places.
Lying perfectly straight on the floor is
also helpful.
Be neat at the back, by insisting on
well-ftting garments. If you are in
