BUSINESS EXCELLFN1lN
NORTHWEST REVIEW
BANKER REPORT TAKES
CHEERFUL TONE OVER SEA
SONS GOOD SHOWING.

Minneapolis, Mimi, Dec. 25.-An
optimistic view Of business conditions
is contained in the current number
of the Northwestern National Bank
Review. Minneapolis and it's tribu.
tary territory have been more FORUM
ate in this respect than the country
generally, says the editor.
Excerpts from the business summa,
ry follow:
Sales Bigger Than Usual.
Retail merchants III Minneapolis
report unusually large sales this fall,
especially during the month of gOc.
tober. 1t is gratifying to note that
large sales have been accompanied by
a satisfactory volume of collections.
"The warm weather which has pre-
vailed throughout the northwest for
the last month has had a slightly de
pressing effect upon both wholesale
and retail sales. Many people have
put off buying winter supplies, and
should this period of unreasonable
weather be greatly prolonged it will
undoubtedly have an appreciable ef-
feet upon the years total sales.
Reports of bank clearings in 1913
indicate a large volume of business.
In Minneapolis the estimate of the
probably total of 1918 is $1,316. O0O,-
900. This figure has been estimated
as far as the last tree weeks Of De-
cember are concerned and is undoubt-
eddy nearly accurate. The increase
owe last years total exchanges will
be about II IL per cent. The clear
ing house figures for the country at
large are not as favorable as those OF
Minneapolis and a few other forum
ate cities.

LIGHTING PROBLEM
Up AT nAzEL1ON

Hazelton, n. D., Dec. 25.-Another
meeting was held Monday evening at
Zirbes' hall, to further discuss the
question as to whether or not Hazel
ton citizens would put in an electric
light plant.
From the report of the committee
one would infer that the general opin-
ion was that the plant as outlined at
the last meeting-a 800 light outfit,
at a cost of 81, 500-was a little more
than citizens cared to expend at this
time, and at Monday nights meeting
J. |. Wilson, a representative of the
Fairbanks-Morse company, stated that
in about two weeks time his COM
pany would have for disposal a sec
ond-hand 300 light plant, guaranteed
to be as good as new, which they
would sell for $3.50. After estimating
the cost Of Installations freight, poles
and wiring. the figures on the outfit
were $1,131. Working out the cost
on the cooperative plan, 1t would
cost each shareholder about 81 per
light to install the plant.
This plant, while rather small,
would take care of all the business
district and all the residences that
would perhaps are to go into the
venture at this time.

Now Up to President, Who
May Veto the
Measure
SUBSTITUTED FOR
KENYON BILL
Bill Prohibits Shipments of
Intoxicating Liquors from
One State to Another

Washington, Feb. 1.-THE Senate last
night passed the Webb liquor bill, which
had already passed the House, as a sub
stitute for the Kenyon Sheppard bill.
The bill prohibits shipments of in
toxicating liquors from one state to an
other when intended to be received oil
sold in violation of the law OF state to
which the shipment is made.
This bill, if enacted into law, would
permit the state officers, under such cir.
eumstances, to seize liquor under a
proper warrant and try it upon the
questions of whether it was intended To
be used in violation of the laws of the
state, and if the jury should find that
il was so intended, the delivery to the
consignee would be prevented and the
liquor confscated. Surely there can be
no objection to such law. This bill
might well be styled local option act
to give the various states the power to
control the liquor traffic as to them
may seem best. 1t would remove the
shackles of interstate commerce law
from the atcion of the states and diseon-
tinue the handicap under which they
now labor, in enforcing their police reg
ulations, and leave them freer to break
up the blind tigers" and "bootleggers"
that infest many "dry" states.
Some doubt is felt as to President
Taft's action on the bill.

Present Price System Wrong

That the present price system is wrong
is easily seen by comparing prices which
we pay for articles at the store with
their actual manufacturing cost, when
the latter can be learned. Usually the
store price is nearly double the manu-
facturer's price, namely, you pay twice
as much for an article as it is really
worth. Thousands of women through
out the country have found remedy
for this. They buy their soaps, teas,
spices and other foodstuffs and house
hold supplies direct from the Larkin
Co., and thus get the benefit of factory
prices on everything. This saves them
fully one-half with every purchase. If
in one month, for instance, they usually
buy $40 worth of household supplies
from stores, they can get these same
supplies from Larkin Co. for $40. In
a short time such saving as this be-
comes great. Write to-day to Larkin
Co., Buffalo, n. ", and ask them for
copy of their large catalog R 81. This
explains their plan to you in detail.
and describes the five hundred household
supplies which they supply you at such
big savings.-Advt.

THIS is GOOD NEWS
If YOU WANT CORN
Cereal Products Are Lower in Price but
Meat Is Still on the
Jump.

Washington, Feb. 1.-THE "high cost
of living judging from figures issued
yesterday by the department of agri-
culture, apparently is solving itself az
the result of lower prices for agricul-
tural products.
The department announces that on
February the prices paid for staple
crops averaged nearly 20 per cent. lower
than in 1911, and nearly 10 per cent.
below those paid in February, 1910. This
decline was made in spite of the fact
that the prices increased Is per cent.
between the first of the year and the
first of the present month.
Corn, wheat, potatoes, eggs, together
with a number of oth-r commodities,
are lower, although chickens are com
handing somewhat higher price than
this time last year. The increase ex-
tends virtually to all other meats, pork
beef, veal, mutton and lamb all COM
manding higher prices. The prices of
staple vegetables, however, have fallen.

An alarm of fire was sounded at about
l0:30 o'clock Friday night, and the tre
company found that blaze had been
kindled by some defect in the chimney
at what is known as the Sylvester house
on Main street. The fire was prompt
ly extinguished, but the damage from
water amounted to as much as the fire.
Sunday night at about o'clock anoth-
er alarm was sounded, and this time
the fire was located in what was for
merly the A. l., Stearns house on Main
street. The fire originated on the roof,
or near it, and after vigorous measures,
this, too, was put out before serious
damage resulted. Both of the places
are so situated that if fire should
get good start great damage must
follow as the result.

while. We need tonic. We need
a laxative.
Pe-ru-na combines these two very
commonly needed remedies. Pe-ru-na is
tonic. A very efficient one, too. 1t
operates at once to increase the appe-
tite and stimulate digestion. Pe-ru-na
is also laxative. 1t sets the sluggish
bowels to work Instead of the bowels
allowing their contents to accumulate,
decompose and poison the whole system,
the bowels are invigorated by Pe-ru-na
to do their work thoroughly.
With tonic to increase the appetite
and digestion, and laxative to encour-
age excretion and secretion, we have a
remedy par excellence. A remedy that
the best of us will need occasionally.
A remedy that careless ones need con-
tinually.
The laws of nature are trampled on
every day by the majority of people.
The appetite becomes dull, digestion dis
turbed, bowels sluggish. This produces
condition of the system which makes
the victim prey to pneumonia, typhoid
fever, and other acute diseases. But to
keep clean inside and out, a vigorous APP
petite, good digestion, regular bowels, in
short to take Pe-ru-na, is to fortify the
system against climatic diseases and
acute diseases of various kinds.
The day will come when we will all
live so correctly that we will not need
either laxative nor a tonic. But that
day is far off yet. We need these two
remedies. Two remedies in one bottle.
Pe-ru-na. A laxative tonic. Everybody
needs it occasionally. Most people need
