STOP THAT DANDRUFF

before it kills your hair. You know
dandruff is a germ disease and it
leads slowly and surely to badness
and there is only one way to cure
dandruff and that is to kill the germ
that causes the trouble.
Greasy salves will never do this.
ZEMO and ZEMO SOAP kills the
germ and are guaranteed to cure
dandruff, itching scalp and all other
germ diseases of the skin and scalp.
ZEMO and ZEMO SOAP are the
true scientific remedies for these af-
fictlons. To show our faith in ZE-
MO and ZEMO SOAP we have in
structed the druggist selling them to
refund your money if you are not
satisfied with the results from the
very first bottle and the first cake of
soap.
We can afford to make this offer
because one bottle of Zemo and one
cake of soap are sufficient to show
their healing qualities and if used ac-
cording to directions, they will effect
a permanent cure.
Sold by druggists everywhere and
in Bemidji by City Drug Store.

Da Vjnci's Writings.

Although Leonardo da Vinci was a
voluminous writer. he never published
single line during his lifetime.
After the masters death in France
his manuscripts were taken back to
Italy. His heirs proved unworthy.
and the precious writings were grad
ually dispersed. Loose pages We're
often detached and were either given
away as relics or stolen. No attempt
was made to publish any of his
treatises. except that on painting, for
more than 300 years after his death.
This was partly owing to the great
difficulty of deciphering his handwrit
ing. Da Vinci was left handed and
always wrote in oriental fashion, from
right to left. Besides this, his orthog-
raphy is peculiar to himself. He alb
breviates some words and joins others
together and employs neither stops nor

End Of AItruism,

Because he was too soft hearted to
ask his poverty stricken landlady to
buy new rugs for his room the altru-
istic young man bought several small
rugs and spread them over the floor
Immediately after the next sweeping
day she presented a bill for the weeks
expenditures: Items-Room rent. brea k
fasts, laundry and beating rugs. 25
cents.
Hello" said the altruistic young
man. What does this mean?"
Just what it says" she returned.
If folks must cover their floor with
extra rugs they'll have to pay for
beating 'em. that's all. l can't afford
to do it for nothing"

are trying to lay up something for a
rainy day or saving small surplus to
pay for little home, but J. H. Selby
of Danville, ILL.,. is working for his
health. His left side paralyzed about
three years ago, the doctors told him
that he would be bedfast for the bal
ance of his days. One doctor, how
ever, gave him this advice: GAS soon
as you can, get up and do something,
however small, but something to keep
you busy; be careful not to get
fatigued-if you feel tired, sit down
wherever you happen to be. - He has
taken this advice and is gradually re-
gaining the use of his limbs. For two
years he has been travelling over the
country selling leadpencils, which occu-
patton keeps him busy earning enough
to pay his expenses. He travels on the
train, stops at the hotel and pushes his
business in business-like way, having
been business man prior to his
affliction. He canvassed Ladysmith
business houses couple Of days this

A GOOD "BEAR" STORY
HON. II. NE. THOMAS TENCoUNT-
ERS A LYNX
DRIVES ANIMAL FROM HIS DOOR
Incident Happened Two Weeks Ago
North of this City-"Cat" was
After the Sheep

Hon. T. M. Thomas of this city tells
story for which he vouches the truth
fulness, which is somewhat out of the
ordinary experience of humans with
wild animals. 1t happened at his farm
home on the bank of the Flambeau one
mile north of this city a couple of
weeks ago. The nights were very
warm then and he and Mrs. Thomas
were sleeping on their large screened
porch.
During the night he heard the dog
give yelp of pain, the sound coming
from the sheep fold. He called to the
dog and as it came toward the house
there was sound of scuff1ing. Mrs.
Thomas partially opened the screen
door to admit the dog, and as the
animal entered another animal sprang
against the screen above her head and
clung there snarling like cat Mr..
Thomas went after the gun and Mrs.
Thomas struck light. There, hang
ing on the screen, was an animal of the
lynx species, lashing it's long tail and
growing at them. Mr.. Thomas fired
and supposed he had killed the beast
which fell in a huddle to the ground,
but as he opened the door to take
another shot, it rolled down the bank
and scurried away in the darkness.
The next morning one of the lambs
appeared exhausted, as though it had
been worried or chased during the
night. On the ground near the porch
was some blood and fur.

Died for Want OF Members

The Rusk County Burial association
is thing of the past. The member
ship became Indifferent about paying
assessments so that at the last assess
ment less than $40 was paid in. 1t
was purely mutual affair and was
instituted about six years ago by
David Ingle, who was designated as
the associations undertaken. The
membership at one time was over 700,
so that about $40 funeral benefits were
paid, each member paying ten cents
an assessment. The membership was
not limited to adults, neither was there
any limit as to age and whole families
were insured in it. There were no
officers salaries or other expenses and
the plan was one of the most simple,
comprehensive and economical that
could be devised, but for lack of some
one to push it and keep new blood
coming in, it gradually lost in member
ship until the officers decided that it
was useless to perpetuate it longer.

VERDICT NOT GUILTY
OFFICERS OF DEFUNCT FIRST
NATIONAL BANK ACQUITTED
NOTORIUS CASE FINALLY ENDED
Affairs of the Bank Fully Aired Be-
fore the jury Verdict Returned
in Thirteen Minutes

The federal jury was out only thir-
seen minutes Tuesday morning before
returning a verdict of mot guilty. in
the case of the United States vs.. j. A.
Corbett, G. E. Newman and l.. +. Nc
Gill, officers of the defunct First Ma
tional Bank of Ladysmith. The trial
occupied four days of the session of
the federal court at EauClaire, Judge
A. L. Sanborn presiding. District
Attorney Gordon of Lacrosse repre-
3ented the government and Gill &
Barry of Milwaukee were attorneys
for the defense.
The jury were: w. S. Kelley,

Cadott; B. J. Dion, Park Falls; S. F.
Hewett, Neilsville; John B. Gruber,
Catawba; J. J. Fleming, Emerald;
John Buckley, Ceylon; John Kyle,
Menomonie.
This case has been the topic of much
bitter contention, which has proved
detrimental to Ladysmth. The First
National Bank was instituted in 1900,
year before the organization of this
county and the designation of Lacy
smith as the county seat. 1t passed
nto the hands of a receiver May 81,
1905, six years ago, 0. E. Peterson
having been succeeded few months
}efore it closed it's doors by G. E.
Newman, as president.
The grand jury indictment, under
which the three defendants were tried,
ontained six counts. Under the first
,ount it was alleged that the report
made to the comptroller of the curren-
on March 20, 1905, gave the amount
# bad notes held by the bank as $l00,
whereas the amount of bad paper was
n reality S799. .18. Under the second
count it was alleged that the report
gave the amount of overdue or sus-
pended paper held by the bank as
nothing whereas there was overdue at
hat time between 1900 and $4,000.
Under the third count it is alleged that
according to the report G. E. Newman,
president of the bank, was indebted to
the bank as indorser to the amount of
S427. % whereas he was indebted as
ndorser to twice that amount. Under
counts A, 5 and it was alleged that
the report showed that the bank had
