new RHEUMATIC CURE.
IT'S Said Genuine Bee Sting Will Ease
Pain From This Malady-
Try It.

Mosquitoes, rheumatism and bees
they are all here and the nature faker
and home prepared medicine pest are
in their glory with these three pests
operating in force at one and the
same time, says the Minneapolis
Tribune.
just what brought so many more
mosquitoes than Minneapolis has
known in the memory of the oldest
resident is mere conjecture, but the
nature faker claims that the mosqui-
toes are the cause of the prevalence
of rheumatism, and that the bees are
here to cure the rheumatism.
Any of the old timers will swear
that bee sting will cure rheuma-
tism, but it is rather a new one to
set forth that the mosquito is respon-
sible for the rheumatism.
DR.. P. M. Hall, always agreeable,
was willing to admit that all these
claims are true.
'The mosquito causes our populace
to twist into all sorts Of shapes Take
a girl with waist cut low in. the
back, one Of those W shaped
things" said the doctor. "Along
comes a mosquito and bites her at
the apex of the v in her back. 1t
takes some contortion for her to
reach around and slam that mosqtito,
and then some more contortion to
scatch it afterward, And while she
is scratching this particular bite with
one hand she is reaching for her left
ankle with the other, and just
because her muscles are sore the next
day she says she has rheumatism.
"And a bee sting is a certain cure
| for rheumatism. So are tight boots
think this idea springs from the
fact that If q bee stings > rheumatic

FREE LUNCH
Insurgent WO0dmen Will Serve Coffee
and Doughnuts Free Every Day at
the Minneaota State Fair

Minnesota Woodmen will serve free
coffee and doughnuts at their State
Fair Tent. Leading members will be
in attendance to give information and
advice.
Recent Developments have convinced
the committee that those who join
the state order may remain in the
parent order if they like. The insur-
ance department is expected to rule
that way. A former contrary ruling
was made at the eime section three
was left out of the bill but since the
return of section three the situation
has changed and the Commissioner
has agreed TO give new ruling when
the petitions signed by $4,000 mem
bers are filed. Tie committee now
has no doubt about the final decision
that members may hold both certifl-
Gates. The statement in the applica
ton that the members intend to quit

This will greatly increase the mem
