The SECRET Of SUCCESS
Genuine Merit Required to. Win the
Peoples Confidence. :.

Have you ever stopped to reason
why it is that so many products that
are extensively advertised, all at once
drop out of sight and are soon forgot
ten? The reason is plain-the article
did not fulfil the promises of the
manufacturer. This applies more par
ticularly to medicine. A medicinal
preparation that has real curative
value almost sells itself, as like an
endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
cured, to those who are in need of it.
In an interview on the subject a
prominent local druggist says "Take
for. example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root, preparation 1 have sold for
many years and never hesitate to rec
Commend, for in almost every case 1t
shows immediate results, as many of
my customers testify. No other kid
9ney remedy that I know of has SO
large SALE"
The success of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root is due to the fact that it fulfils
every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder diseases, corrects
urinary troubles and neutralizes the
uric acid which causes rheumatism.

Power Accorded Municipality.
A municipality has power to fix by
ordinance the weight of the standard
loaf Of bread to be sold, under a de-
cision by the Supreme court of the
United States in a suit to test the
constitutionality of an ordinance of
Chicago. The law prohibits the sale
Of bread not up to the standard weight
Of loaf or. Of a specified fractional
part Of loaf, although 1t may pro-
duce some Inconvenience, and the ST.
preme court decides that this is not
an arbitrary or unreasonable exercise
of the police power. The court held
further that a considerable demand
for bread of sizes other than those
fixed by the ordinance does not rem.
der the ordinance invalid.

conformation OF its mouth the
housefiy carrot bite. In the
minds Of most persons, how
ever. no impression is stronger
than that the housefiy does oe-
casionalIy bite. This impression
is due to the rather frequent
presence in houses of another
fly. This, the SO called stable
fly" closely resembles the house
fly. Its mouth parts are formed
for piercing skin. Virtually all
flies breed in horse manure, COW
manure and warm, decaying
vegetable matter, including old
straw and grass.
The fly begins life as an egg.
It passes through the larvai
stage, whereof is known as
magsot. Il passes then through
the pupaI stage, emerging as tho
winged pest we all know. Tho
periods Of development are
about as follows: Eggs from
deposition to Matching, one
third of day; Matching Of lar
vac to first mott, one day; first
to second mott, one day; second
mott to pupation, three days;
to- pupation to issuing Of adult,
five days; total life round, ap-
proximately ten days.
The eggs are always laid on
some organic matter, on which
7 tho larvae or maggots may feed
after Matching. Horse manure
is tho favorite breeding place for
the fly.

Would It Pay?

many or the states OF the United
States and portions of Canada have
established publicity bureaus, who
send out live, spicy news, facts and
figures of their respective communi-
ties through which many inquiries
for property are received and a large
number of new settlers thus acquired.
Western Canada has been particular
ly strong along this line and keeps
the whole country in touch with ad-
vertising they do. They have mailing
lists of all the live newspapers in
practically all the states of the Unit
ed States, and forward them from day
to day interesting news matter gratis.
Much of it is reprinted in our news
papers, thus giving publicity to the
doings in Canadian territory. The
states have been organized such pub
licity bureaus report to have met with
much success. The secretary of the
Missoula Chambers of Commerce,
Missoula, Montana, reports that 90
per cent OF their inquiries for Mon
tana property came from territory ex-
tending not more than 500 miles from
Minneapolis.
With the opportunities Minnesota
affords, what could not be accom-
plished by the maintenance of such
a bureau for this state? There is no
question but that Minnesota could
picture the opportunities afforded to
exceed any that can possibly be Of
fered in Canada and many of our own
Western states. Not: only can. these
opportunities be pictured in desir-
able form but can be backed by facts
and figures without misrepresentation
in the slightest degree. Minnesota
needs only to tell the truth of it's
wonderful opportunities and re-
Sources, andAwe predict that, if given
theproper publicity the results would
be astounding. ..
:. To bring about such an organiza-
ton every interest in the state should
be appealed to-. First of all the news

the manufacturers associations would

front for such a cause The maehin-

Do Animals Reason ?

Incidents reported from the New

indicate that certain animals can rea-

Hamburg animal trainer, visited the
zoo not long ago he suddenly appear
ed near the cage Of the big lion Sui
tan. This lion formerly lived in Ham
burg. but Mr. Hagenbeck had not seen
aim for more than year. Sultan
was taking a nap. but when Mr..
Hagenback pronounced his name in
German the lion leaped up as if he
had been aroused by blow and rec
ognized his former trainer, and licked
his hand. That the big orang-outang
in the park has reasoning powers
has been demonstrated. One day a
rope was lowered into the cage. The
animal seized it and tied it into a
knot and fastened himself with it to
his swing. The knot was as dexter
ously and as well tied as IL done by
human hands.

HOW TO MAKE a SCOUT KNAPP
SACK

One OF the finest achievements OF
the Boy Scout movement is the in
terest it has awakened in hikes to
the fields and woods among city boys
who have spent most of their lives sur
rounded by paved streets, with little
or no opportunity of visiting natures
workshops.
The best hikes" usually require a
days time, so the lunch proposition
must be taken care of or the mixers
will be pretty we'll starved out before
the tramp is over. Of course boy
can't carry bag OF lunch in his hand,
for he needs both hands for other
purposes. and a coat pocket is too
full Of other things = permit OF
crowding it in Therefore, food must
be packed" in some otner way, and
the best scheme is to have a regu-
lar knapsack that can be strapped
upon the back army fashion in which
to carry it. A knapsack is not diff
cult to make, as you will see by the
illustrations, and if you can get your
mother or sister to do the sewing
on the sewing machine, that will be
the biggest part of the job. Any
handy boy viii not find the sewing diff
ticult to do himself, however.
A brown or white canvas, khaki or
denim should be used for the material.
Fig. l shows the front of the KNAPP
sack, Fig. 2 the back and Fig. the
pattern of the front, back, ends, and
flap, all laid OUT In one piece, with
all of the necessary dimensions given.
The dotted lines indicate where the
cloth is to be folded In cutting the
cloth about one-fourth inch should be
allowed all around for the making of
seams. All sewing must be done with
very stout linen thread, and TO pre-
vent the fraying of edges it is best
TO bind them with tape or braid. The
pocket upon the inside of the flap
may be divided into three compart-
