Peisoninn a, q Diversion.

Poisoning is never likely again to be-.
come a fashionable diversion, asst was
from time to time IN ancient Rome. In
B. G. 331, for instance, there was q
mysterious pestilence, which seemed
to be particularly fatal to leading men.
At last slave girl gave information
to the authorities, and a consequent
police raid resulted In the discovery
Of about twenty matrons, some Of
them OF high patrician families, busily
preparing drugs over d IRE. They in
sisted that the drugs were not poison
GUS, but, being compelled to drink
them publicly In the forum as q guar
antee OF good faith, persisted missr-
ably. Further informations followed,
and ITO matrons in all were condemn
ed. But this record was soundly beaten
in h. G. 1874, when four months in
quiry by the praetor is said to have led
to the condemnation Of 1000 persons

A Early A;r.h;;p.

We are told by Peter Farley. who
wrote as an eyewitness. that in Au-
gust, 1885, the airship Eagle was Of
ticially advertised to sail from London
with government dispatches and pas
sengers for Paris and to establish di-
rect communication between the capt.
tails Of Europe. This early tyne Of air.
ship was 16O feet long. fifty feet high
and forty feet wide. and she lay in
the dockyard OF the Aeronautical so.
zciety in Victoria road. near Kensing-
ton gardens. then quite a rural spot.
Built to hold an abundant supply OF
gas. she was covered with oiled lawn
and carried a frame seventy five feet
long and seven feet high. with cabin
secured by ropes to the balloon. An
immense rudder and wings or fms on,
each side for purposes of propulsion
completed her fittings. The deck was
guarded By netting. After all this
preparation and advertisement the Ea-
gle never got beyond Victoria road, for
Count Lennox and his assistants fail
ed to provide the necessary motive

WELL WORTH WATCHING.

) Pulling stumps and draining
swamps may sound like very ordinary
topics but when you know that the
state has authorized three men to
make practicaEdemonstration as to
just how cheaply such work can be
done and what the effect of clearing
ten acre tracts in different, counties
will have on intending settlers, you
have a question of direct interest to
every person dependent upon the
prosperity of the North.
This is just what the newly created
reclamation board of which w. r.
Mackenzie of Bemidji is president
and w. J. Brown of Warren and A.
j. Mcclure of Grand Rapids mem
bers, will do. The state has placed
$4,000 at the disposal of this board.
: 1t is a simple experiment with
Wonderful possibilities behind it.
The work is to be done on 40 acre
state owned tracts, already selected.
The board is now to clear ten acres
on each tract, keeping careful ac-
count as to the cost of. such clearing,
wi u
is to be sold at it's appraised value,
plus the cost of putting it into shape
for cultivation.
One of the things bound to be ac-
complished by the reclamation board
is that the statement made in the
legislature that land in northern
Minnesota could not be cleared for
less than $3.50 was untrue, as persons
familiar with the country already
knew was untrue when the state
ment was made.
1t will establish the fact that the
fertile soil of the North; soil ths.:
has grown forests, will yield up rich
harvests to the man who cares to
work it, and the records which will
be made for the state will give the
lie to those men who seek, for sell
fish reasons, to spread the report that
"the North is timber country and
nothing more'
And if Representative Clinton
Robertson of Winona county, who
on the floor of the House said there
amt farm within 40 miles of Axe
ley" thinks this is personal, he is
welcome to do so.

A Dream and liz Raault.

In 1920 terrible epidemic decimated
Marseilles and Provence, and Sardinia
owed Its escape to a dream. At this
period the viceroy of Sardinia dreamed
that the disease had Invaded Sardinia
and that the ravages were frightful.
When the viceroy awoke he was deeply
impressed BY his dream, and a little
later merchantmen put In its. ap-
pearance at Cagliari and demanded a
place to berth. The Sardinia refused,
and when 1t was limited that the mer-
chairman wanted to land some sick
the viceroy threatened to train the
guns Of the forts upon the vessel If
the captain did not depart instantly.
The people of Cagliart thought that the
vtceroy was mad, but great was their
Joy later when they learned that this
very ship, which went on to Marseilles,
was responsible for Introducing the
plague into the famous port. -..,.....

Dandruff now-bald later. The
same Is true of scalp diseases. In
fact badness is q scalp disease. The
trouble with the greasy salves and
lotions, the so-called dandruff and
scalp cures. YOU have tried so far is.
that they don't do anything but tenn
porarily relieve the itching and cake
the dandruff so 1t doesn't fall until
Its dried out again. Nothing can
urereally cure such troubles but
a real scalp medicine that will kill.
the germs causing dandruff and scalp
disease.
Learning from leading fellow
druggists throughout America that
they had found a whirlwind cure for
dandruff, eczema and all diseases of
the skin and scalp the City Drug
Store on proving to the laboratories
compromising the treatment that it
is the most prominent drug store in
this city secured the agency for the
remedy. This remedy is ZEMO, the

Does Advertising Pay J?
(By E. H. Denu.)

The man who conducts his bust
ness on the theory that advertising
doesn't pay and that he can't afford
it, sets up his judgment in direct
opposition to that of all the best
business men Of the world.
An experienced authority on this
subject once said: with a few
years experience in conducting a
small business on a few thousand
dollars capital, he assumes to know
more than those whose hourly trans
actions aggregate more than his do
In a year, and who have made their
millions by pursuing a course that
he says doesn't pay
II advertising doesn't pay, why is
it that the most successful merchants
OF every town, large or small, are the
heaviest advertisers? II it does not
pay, why do the largest business
firms in the world spend millions in
that way? Is it because they want
to donate those millions to the news
paper and magazine publishers or be-
cause they don't know as much about
business as the six-for-a-dollar mer-
chant who says money spent in adj
vertising is thrown away or donated
to the man to whom 1t is paid?
Such talk is simply ridiculous,
says the American Stationer, and it
requires more than the average pa
thence to discuss the proposition of
whether advertising pays or not with
that kind of man.
1t will be the endeavor of the Pho
neer to publish from time to time
helpful hints on ad writing and ad
reading. The public at large loses
more by not reading the ADVERTISE
ments of Bemidji merchants than do
the merchants. ...-

A Snake Story.

This story is told of the late DR..
Emil Reich. One day when travelling
he lay down to rest in the shadow Of
a bush and fell asleep. He awoke with
a start to find that night was coming
on and that rain had begun to fall.
Quickly snatching up his umbrella, he
tried to open it and. finding it worked
stiff1y. he pressed the spring vigorous
~. Suddenly there was sound Of
ripping and tearing and snake fell to
the ground split in two. The reptile
had apparently swallowed the umbrel-
la as far as it could.

cOrding to the entertaining grammarian
referred to, a town in Greece under
stress of evil circumstances borrowed
money from a rich man. who took as
security for the loan mortgage on the
handsome portico which surrounded
the market place. He was not an un-
generous creditor for when it rained
he caused the town criers to announce
that the citizens had permission to
take refuge under the colonnade.
Strangers visiting the town who fail

told when to come In out of the wet.

Roads of the Qldan Iima,

A curious Illustration Of the lack Of
any systematic authority over the
roads in England, even as late as the
fifteenth century, is preserved in the
records Of the manor of Aylesbury.
A local miller, named Richard Boose,
needed some ramming clay for the re-:
pair Of his mill Accordingly-we learn
from "Old Country Inns"-his servants
dug great pit in the middle Of the
road, ten feet wide and eight feet deep,
and 80 left it to become filled with
water from the winter rains. A glow
er from Leighton Buzzard, on his way
home from market, fell in and was
drowned. Charged with manslaugh-
ter, the miller pleaded that he had no
place wherein to get the kind Of clay
be required except on the highroad.
He was acquitted. a
