WHEN PRIDE IS JUSTIFIED.

| Far too many mortals are vain and sell
satisfied because of some temporary mer-
cenary advantage; and in their eagerness
to display that advantage at every oppOr-
tunity often destroy their greatest bless
ing, the physical counterpart of sunshine,
which is their own health. Neglected
colds, irregular meals, overloaded stom-
achs and night revelry result in shattered
nerves, depressed vigor and fatigue, all
Of which invite decline and disease.
Each person stands sentinel at the por-
tails of his own health and he who guards,
protects, strengthens and builds up a
rugged constitution is justified in pride
and finds therein his own recompense-
the capacity to enjoy the fullness of life.
The strain of modern commercial and
social living taxes strength and energy
and in maintaining the highest self-eif
cheney we should not only cultivate deep
breathing, out of door exercise, regularity
and temperance in all things, but study
the greatest of all physical power creators
which is body nourishment. In this, al
coholic preparations should be carefully
Stunned and such pre-digested nourish-
ment as SCOTS Emulsion which enriches
the blood and creates vitality by building,
healing and strengthening, should be Sc
lected
Scotts Emulsion is scientifically pre-
pared and is good for teething babies,
nursing mothers, growing children, the
aged and infrm. 1t contains no wine or
stimulant, but is wholesome and pure
and has helped millions to regain health
and sustain it. Worthless substitutes are |
offered, but Scott's Emulsion
S the genuine pure food-medicine.

Addresses were made by nearly
all those present to which the
Mayor feelingly responded. Alder

and during the evening in neat
address presented Mr.. Knutson
with valuable fountain pen as a
remembrance and token of ap-
probation. During the evening

Prospects, BRIGHT

That the prospects for this city
are looming up exceptionally bright
for the coming season is source
of much qualification. With the
work already planned and the new
concerns coming in, labor promises
to be we'll taken care of.
: The Pioneer, Zenith and Savoy
will employ their usual quota of
miners
The Chandler is putting on adj
ditional forces every day or as fast
as the development work warrants.
The Lucky Boy mine is forging
rapidly ahead and with the new
pump at present being installed
will make it possible for consider
able more work.
A. H. Overman was in the city
this week and informed Us that his
mining firm would put in crew
Monday morning sinking shaft
on section 2 adjoining the White
Iron works. The company has
much ore running high in iron
right on the surface. Five men
will be put at work and the crew
increased as development pro-
crosses.
The White Iron company have a
large force at work getting out ore
and sinking shafts on their pro-
perty on section 2. There is strong
prospects of the installation of a
Jones furnace at this mine this
summer providing the furnace now
being tested proves success and
the White Iron ore can be handled
therein. ...
w. T. Mccarthy the Duluth
diamond drill man was in the city
several days this week making ar
rangements for doing some drilling
east of here. Mr.. Mccarthy is
now working for the Banner-Ver-
million company in 26. 63-13.
Numerous other places will be
worked this season and the prospects
are that several mines will be
shown up.

showing the length of the portage,

SWAT'THE FLY
Do it at Once And Save
Lives and Trouble

Every house fly killed now
means one million less by August
/, according to the medical health
officer, DR.. Hastings, who recon-
mends that this dangerous little
germ carrier cannot be overlooked
during the spring house cleaning
operations. DIR. Hastings claims
that if proper precautions were
taken to destroy all the breeding
places for flies, and that if the half
dozen which Turk in the kitchen
were killed at this time of the year,
the house fly would be practically
banished from the city.
The doctor points out that there
will be less disease, less worry and
bother in the summer time, and
there would be less expense, since
there would be saving on doctor
bills and fly paper. If the people
of Alexandria would wage war on
the house fly at once without wait
ing till they multiply and become
real pests in the summer time. He
pointed out that in Baltimore and
Washington and in other cities the
school children had waged cam
paign encouraged by a prize offered
for the largest number of dead
flies, and excellent results were Sc
cured in this way.
In Washington, D. G.. news
paper offered cash prizes for the
largest number of flies caught by
school children, and the result was
the keenest rivalry. In less than
two weeks seven million flies were
killed. The winner was 13-year
old boy, who submitted no less
than 3S3, 400 dead flies. On public
spirited citizen undertook to supply
all the boxes in which the flies
were delivered daily to the Offices
of the associated charities. From
these stations they were collected
by transfer company and con-
veyed to the medical health de-
partment, under those auspices the
campaign was run. Here they
were counted and this work was
no easy task.-Toronto World.

ORE SALES
Large Tonnage Sold Says
Iron Trade Review

A very large tonnage OF ore has
been sold. Including ore which
has been allotted by selling agencies
to allied and constituent companies,
probably 100000 to 10000, goo
tons have been disposed of. Sales
already made indicate that about a
million tons will go to eastern con-
sumers, very large increase over
the ore taken by eastern consumers
for a number of years. On ac-
count of the reduction in prices,
some mines will not be operated
this year, but it is expected that
independent companies will show
an increase of about 80 per cent
over last years shipments, and
that the Steel Corporation will ship
from 100000 to 100000 tons
more than it did last year, making
the total shipment exceed 100000
900 tons. Some ore may be loaded
this month, but it is not expected
that any considerable tonnage will
be shipped before May /.
Additional vessel tonnage has
been chartered at 20 cents net from
the head of the lakes, and it is be,
leved that fully million tons have
been covered at this rate. Although
a large tonnage has also been
chartered at rs cents, the 40 cent
rate seems to be pretty we'll
established. In some cases, the
chartering at 40 cents covers several
years.
The announcement made few
days ago that the ore unloaning
charge would probably be 10 cents.
a reduction of only S cents from
last year, was received with vigor-
Gus protests from some vessel and
ore interests. A considerable ton
mage of ore has been sold with the
understanding that the unloading
charge would be 7 cents and ore
men say that if a 1O-cent rate is
made, the 8 cents will come out of
their pockets. While it is con-
ceded that the most modern ore
handling plants would make a
large profit at 7 cents, if fully en-
ployed, operators of docks which
are not so modern in equipment
declare they cannot make any
money at that figure Shipments
of ore from lower lake docks to
furnaces last month amounted to
9O2,OO7 tons, and it is expected
that there will be good movement
this month, so that the ore on
