HONOR TO JAMES J. HILL.

st. Paul, Mimi, Sept. 16-Seldom
If ever before in her history has st.
Paul entertained at one time so many
noted figures from the world of fl
nance, industry and railroads as
gathered here today to attend the
complimentary banquet to James ].
Hill. president of the Great Northern
railway. The banquet marks the
seventy-fourth birthday anniversary
of Mr.. Hill and his retirement from
active management of the affairs of
the great railroad system with which
he has gridironed the Northwest and
which has been perhaps the leading
factor in the development of the
northern country stretching from the
Twin Cities to the Pacific coast.
James J. Hill was born on a farm
near Guelph, Ont, Sept. 16, 1888, of
Scotch-1rish parents. His fathers
death when he was IA years of age
made it necessary for him to go to
work as a clerk in the village store,
where it is said, his first wage was
but 81 cents a week.
In 1856 he set out for California,
but within the year found himself on
the steamboat docks at st. Paul,
where he obtained employment as a
shipping clerk. He thus became iden-
titled upon his first arrival in the
Northwest with transportation there
and he also from the first manifested
the keenest interest in all that per.
tanned to commerce and agriculture.
After serving two years as general
manager, Mr.. Hill became president
of the st. Paul, Minneapolis and Mani
toba railway in 1883 and continued as
such until 1891. He was chosen presl-
dent of the Great Northern railway
Sept. 11,1SS9. In 1907 he gave up the
presidency and became chairman of
the board of directors. Last June
he severed the last link connecting
him with active railroad work by re-
firing from his position as head OF
the board Of directors of the Great
Northern.

VALUE OF ADVERTISING.

This week man called at The Her
aid office and stopped his paper be-
cause it had too much advertising in
it, though he liked the paper in every
other way. Perhaps he didn't stop to
think that there is no reading matter
on earth so valuable to the man who
must make every penny count as ad-
vertisements wherein he is shown bar
gains that give double duty power
to each dollar he spends. He should
remember that no man pays good
money for liberal amount of adver-
Using space unless he knows that the
inducements he offers therein to the
public will take hold of them, to the
mutual advantage of both buyer and
seller. It's plain, practical common
sense proposition, and the man who
doesn't realize that he can save many
times the price of his paper by study
ing the advertisements and taking adj
vantage of the best bargains offered, is
the man whose business bump is yet
undeveloped.-Springfeld Herald.

Are you keeping your bowels clean
with Cascarets, or merely forcing a
passageway every few days with
salts, cathartic pills or castor oil?
This is important.
Cascarets work while you sleep;
cleanse and regulate the stomach,
remove the sour, undigested and fer
menting food and foul gases; take the
excess bile from the liver and carry
out of the system all the constipated
waste matter and poison in the intes-
tines and bowels.
A Cascaret tonight will straighten
you out by morning. 10-cent box
from any drug store will keep your
stomach sweet; liver and bowels reg

forget the children. They love Cas-
carets because they taste good-do
good-never grippe or sicken.

Interest
DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL COMMIT.
TEES UNIQUE SHOW MAKES
CONVERTS OF PARTY.

New York, Sept. 16.-New Workers
are focking to big, free show these
days in crowds that are making all
the theatrical managers green with
envy. The new attraction is the Tariff
Exhibit or Tariff Chamber of Horrors
opened in big store on Union Square
under the auspices of the Democratic
National Committee. On the first day
of the exhibit nearly 10000 persons
crowded in and since then a steady
throng has filed in and out of the
place.
1t has been a cosmopolitan crowd.
There are Jews and Italians from the
East Side. an army of clerks and sal
aried men, and women by the score.
Now and then an automobile runs up
and some prosperous looking folks
pile out and mingle with the throng.
The center of attraction is the model
fat, fully equipped, with it's kitchen,
dining-room and bedroom. The
crowds linger about the fiat and study
the different articles in common use,
each of which is labeled with its price
and the tariff tax which shows why
the article costs more than it should
On the household articles the tariff
taxes range from % to IS per cent,
and on the clothing displayed-for the
fat is inhabited by a small family of
wax dummies-from so to 80 per cent
But the things that attract most at
tention ore a baby carriage and a
crib, on which the tariff tax Is as per
cent, and some baby clothes, on which
the consumer gets stung with tariff
tax of 80 per cent. The women are
particularly struck with these arti-
cles and express great indignation at
what they call putting a shameful
tax on the babies"
IL don't know much about politics."
declared one woman, after studying
the model fiat for half an hour, "but
Pm going right home to my husband,
who Is a Republican. and tell him he
must vote for Wilson or the babies
and l will go on strike"
Another article that attracts much
attention is dotted swiss dress. The
material, made in New England, costs
$2.75 in the United States and only
$1.S7 in England. because of the high
tariff.
Congressman William c. Redfield,
the Democratic tariff expert, made a
big hit at one of the MONDAY meet
ings at the Exhibit, with basket of
potatoes. After pointing out that the
tariff tax -ou potatoes was "a times
the tax on real estate in New York
City, the Congressman showed that
during the first three months of this
year. When the crop shortage made
necessary large importations of pota-
toes from Scotland. Americans paid
$18,733 in tariff taxes on potatoes
