feats Of strength and speed to keep the
Wolverines back. However, no one

Penn lost. Mercer looks certain to be

has he shown himself to be a man with
punch. All the pretty footwork In
the world won't put an opponent to
sleep, as every boxer and boxing fan
knows. In the final analysis 1t requires
the good cid sleep wallop to turn the
trick. Wolgast is a mixer much after

In either hand, and Welsh will be do

the whole twenty rounds.

REST AND COMFORT

Women and children from the
country and from the city can go
to the Minnesota State Fair this
year without worrying about what
they will do when they get tired out
with sightseeing,
Acting upon che suggestion of
Secretary Simpson, the directors
have voted to make out of the ar
tistic ST. Louis building a perman-
ent rest cottage and nursery. The
building heretofore has been occu-
pied by newspaper men and the up
stairs for sleeping apartments.
1t will be entirely remodeled and re-
furnished so as to provide conven-
fences and comforts for visiting
women and children.
A large play-yard on the south
side of the building and connecting
with it will be erected and will fur
nish an ideal place to leave the
little tots who are weary of bands,
exhibits, horse races, pop corn men
and flying machines. The location
of the building is especially suit
able for this purpose since it is in
quiet part of the grounds, where
noise and excitement will not jar
1n0ro fira6 narvac
Secretary Simpsons plan is to
have the place completely fitted up
for the purpose it is to serve and to
have the building and yard in
charge of competent matron and
nurses with a consulting physician
in attendance.
People who have been In the hab-
it of visiting the state fair appreci-
ate the fact that especially to those
not accustomed to the city, with it's
accompanying hubbub and excite
ment, day spent on the fair
grounds causes WEAKNESS to per-
sons stronger than the ordinary
mother with large family of busy
children. Heretofore there has
been no suitable or convenient
place for the tired ones to rest and
recuperate. Next September it will
be different.
The fair managers have planned
several things which will add to the
comfort of visitors in the way of an
increased number of benches,
drinking fountains, and so forth,
and the new rest cottage is the
longest step yet taken in carrying
out the increased comfort plan.

Prerequisite Praise

The press of the eleventh con-
gressional district is doing John ].
Jenkins justice-tardy justice, to be
sure, but justice, nevertheless. The
most hide-bound insurgent organs
in the district now write him down
as statesman who was not only
able, but scrupulously honest and
always true to his constituents.
Three years ago the Tribune and a
few other lonely papers in this dist
riot sought to Impress the people
with these facts, but it was like
trying to shoe off a plague of grass
hoppers with palm-leaf fan. To
Glenwood City's and Glenwood and
Forest towns everlasting credit,
they stood by the big-hearted,
kindly, democratic man who was
ever ready to do good turn to his
fellow men, but they were the only
towns in stretch of fifty miles
which turned in Jenkins maiorities.
True indeed, is the statement that
John j. Jenkins was always true to
his constituents; but hardly true
would be the reverse statement that
his constituents were always true
to him. But that, as Hamlet said,
is common Aye, madam, it is
common. fleetwood Tribune.

Prohibition Campaigner
Coming

George G. Pendell of New York,
recently business manager of the
National Prohibitionist, the
greatest of all Prohibition papers,
is putting in two months field work
in Wisconsin, under the direction of
the Prohibition State Committee.
Pendell is one of the strongest men
connected with the "dry fight" and
has made great record for himself
as political leader and strategist.
1t was largely through his assist
ance that Oliver w. Stewart was
elected to the State legislature of
Illinois in 1902. Pendell has had
a great deal of experience in all
lines as an editor, writer, lecturer,
and campaign manager. He has a
lot of ideas that he will leave with
the people on the occasion of his
visit to Pierce County. Mr.. Pendell
is to visit Maiden Rock on Wednes-
day, July 26, Prescott on July 81,
River Falls on Monday, July 81 and
Tuesday, August 1, and Ellsworth
on Wednesday, August 2.
At River Falls arrangements will
be made for School of Politics.
to be conducted by Mr.. Pendell, in
which he will conduct a series OF
lessons in practical politics and
prohibition propaganda.

The Skin and Not the Blood

Until recently it has been gen
orally accepted proposition that &C.
zema was a disease of the blood,
and that in order to cure it, the
blood must be purified and enriched.
Careful experiments and scientific
Investigations have taught us that
eczema is purely skin disease, and
cureable through the skin alone. A
great majority of persons afflicted
with eczema have no other ailment,
which is accepted as positive proof
that it is purely skin disease. Hav-
ing established this fact, the chem
lists of the Americad Drug and Press
Association set about to compound
a prescription that would successful
ly cope with this disease, and after
much investigating brought out
Meritol Eczema Remedy, the effect
of which is marvellous. If you are
afflicted with this loathsome disease,
do not delay trying Meritol Eczema
Remedy. You will be surprised at
its prompt action, its soothing effect
and its permanent results. Tag
CARTS Drug Store is commissioned
by the association to sell it in River
Falls.
