Stupid Prudery,
Some time ago Chicago selected a.
committee of representative men and
women to probe the vice of the city
with a view to curing it so far as pos
sible. The committee made report,
which has been published, describing
conditions as it found them. The
postoffice department has barred that
report from the mails as obscene.
This, surely, is about the limit of
stupid prudery.-Duluth Herald.
Listen. You Farmers

to run their farms. How strikingly
we are reminded every now and then
OF the obligations 'we farmers" owe
the city. What would our farms be-
anyway, if it we're not for the wisdom
we get from Minneapolis and St.
Paul? They send US advice in
chunks, in sacks, in carload lots.
They write it, telegraph it, talk it,
shout it. Oh, we get it all right, all
right. But, say, did any of those fell
lows ever come out here, come out to
the dear farmer, the "honest tiller of
the soil," the man behind the pros
perity of the country, etc., etc-you

ing conveyance for hauling voters

practice is a rapidly growing evil.
and It is getting 20 that man

by so doing. we are simply inviting
officials whom we elect. to in some
ways try to reimburse themselves
for the money which they are out

Now. believe that we can hold
an election in Lamar. without pro-
viding a single automobile. either
private or public, to convey voters

q lot of workers were to convey
them to the voting places. as though
they had bought and paid for them.

the voters who intelligently con-
slider the questions upon which
they are voting, and honestly cast
their ballot for what they think
Is best have come to believe that
II Is a reflection on their intelli-
gence and honesty. to permit any
one to convey them to the voting
place in an automobile. and march
them up to the voting place. as
though they did not have sense
enough to go alone. There Is not
voter in the town that has to
go to exceed ten blocks to his

add something to the reputation of
Lamar to inaugurate this reform.
and permit everyone to go to the
voting place by themselves. and
cast their vote as they may pre-
fer, and as chairman of the Citi-
zens committee. urge upon. not
alone those who are supporting our
ticket. but our citizens generally.
to unite for the suppression of
this practice. which Is growing
worse and worse each year. and

blank disk and draw it forward to the
die fail to spring away. In this case

An Effective Alarm,

Flanagan had been discharged from
the artillery and went to live in a cot
tage in his native village. One day he
left on a weeks visit to some distant
relatives, and a day later the village
constable was standing at his door
when he heard the sudden boom of
the rusty cannon Flanagan had
mounted on his front hedge.
An instant later a brick whizzed
past the constable's ear and smashed
his door to smithereens.
The indignant officer, followed by
the populace, rushed to Flannigan's
cottage and found it still tenantless,
but showing signs Of recent burgling.
When Flanagan returned the next
week he heard the news and was de-
lighted.
"Oi prepared for burglars afore Oi
wint away" he said, "by thrainin' the
gun on yer front door, constable, and
connicting it by sacret wires to the
doors and windies and loading it wild

cure consumption. nor typhoid. nor
any one of a hundred common dis
eases. 1t simply purifies the blood.
but 1t does that very thoroughly"
What are the symptoms Of poisoned,
impure blood? They range all the way
from the dreadful syphilis to muddy
complexion. They include inflamma-
tory rheumatism, catarrh, scrofula, &C.
zema, erysipelas, pimples, boils, run

SENSE OF HEARING.
Sound Waves and the Way They Act
Upon the Ears.

upon tne ears.
The detection Of the direction Of a
sound by the sense Of hearing is. like
the rapid focusing Of the eye on OBJ
jects ut different distances. one Of
those instructive operations which are
continually done without any conscious
method.
Sound waves traverse the air as rip
pies stir the water. and the ear by ex-
perience acquires some slight power of
detecting the direction In one case. rs
the eye does with far greater accuracy
In the other. Usually We unconscious
" receive assistance from other senses
as well. Often we fail to locate at
once some hidden source Of sound.
such as singing bird. and then our
instructive ingenuity displays itself.
The intensity Of sound is. Of course.
by no means so great behind a screen
as in front Of It. and every one carries
with him the screen of his own head
which may prevent q particular sound
from being heard 50 well by one ear
as by the other. II. then. the head is
turned until this inequality disappears
and both ears hear equally we'll we
know that We must be directly facing
or turned from the source Of sound.
and our previous rough idea Of its
whereabouts generally prompts US to
face 1t.
