THE RED CROSS.

Its Real Origin Dates to ,Nspoleon's
italian Campaign of 1859.
The Red Cross owes it's real origin to
the great and terrible campaign Of
1859, when Napoleon made it his boast
that he would free Italy from the
Aips to the Adriatic." AT the great
battle of Magenta 10000 A,striansand
some 5000 French soldiers were left
dead and dying on the fields.
A Swiss gentleman, named NJ. Henri
lDunant. made pilgrimage to that
battlefield and was an Involuntary
eyewitness of the awful carnage Of the
battle of SOlferinO. a battle which last
ed some sixteen hours and left some
10000 dead and wounded. Henri Du
nant realized that the medical service
of what was probably the greatest
army in the world was absolutely in,
adequate to cope with the casualties,
and he was at once compelled to take
some action 10 rectify the matter.
The result was that he wrote q
small book Cor private circulation. en-
titled I'm Souvenir de SOlferinO," and
this, with his private appeal, resulted
in Napoleon III. commanding Dunant
ITO his presence, where. With the great
Marshal MacMahan, they seriously
talked matters over
The result of this was ia conference
of the powers. called together by the
Swiss federal government. at which
Henri Dunant placed his proposals.
Out OF this Geneva conference OF 1854
resulted the Geneva convention. under
which all medical supplies and lpersen-
mel in war tine are protecbed.

Most folks forget that the kid

You simply must keep your kid

grapes and lemon juice, combined
with lithia, and is harmless to flush
clogged kidneys and stimulate
them to normal activity. It also
neutralizes the acids In the urine SO
It no longer irritates, thus ending
bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is harmless; fnexpen-

should take now and then to keep

he sells lots Of Jad Salts to folks

The State as a Land Dealer.

The State as a Land Dealer.
There are many signs that land
boom is imminent in Northern Min
nesOta. @-- .5
The tide of immi grafton that
crossed this state of opportunity to
Canada and to the semi arid regions
of the West for one reason and an
other has turned back upon Itself,
and seeks a location nearer home.
The tales of settlers who have made
good in Northern minnesota are the
best advertising material, and they
are doing their work. The inquiry
for Northern Minnesota lands never
was so great. and the tide of settle-
ment never was so strong.
Where us the state, the largest
landowner in Northern Minnesota,
to be in this coming boom? ..,.
It owns millions of acres Of good
land 1t sells this land on easy
terms. But it has no way of show
ing intending settlers the goods it
has to offer, its sale methods are
Anticipated, and it's land business is
crudely organized. .-
Moreover, it must sell these lands
largely as they stand, often without
roads or drainage, and always with
out Improvement. Yet the greater
part of it's lands are stump covered,
and the new settler often has a hard
time Of it while he is clearing a few
acres from which to raise living
for his family.
The time has come for the state Of
Minnesota to adopt a modern and
business like land policy, if it is to
compete with private land specula-
tors.
The recent Democratic mass meet
ing pointed the way in this para
graph from the resolutions it unan-
imously adopted: ,.....- -.
Our state should adopt a sys-
tematic and business-like plan
Of developing and settling it's
rich resource of public lands
now idle and fruitless through
state neglect. To this end, we
recommend the creation of a
state revolving fund, to be used
in improving state-owned lands
by draining submerged areas, by
building roads to inaccessible
areas, and by partial clearing of
stump-covered lands; the cost
of such improvements to he
charged to the lands benefited
and recovered into the revolving
fund when such lands are sold.
Wherever lands privately own
ed are benefited 10y such i'm
provements, they should be as
sessed their full share of the
cost. We urge this not only as
measure of true conservation
and development for. Northern
Minnesota, but as business
plan that will profit the entire
state.
Here is the states greatest need,
wildly outlined and a practicaR rem
edy cOncisely stated. --:...
This is a plank that should be in
the platform of every party and in
the statement of every candidate for
executive or legislative office.-Du-

proclaimed throughout this broad domain
that his imperial highness, C. E. Rice of

duced an entirely new line of "argu-
ments" to the candidates that are most
convincing and never fail to make a last
ing impression on them.
In honor of his visit David ]. Davis.
royal vizier of the local temple, has called

members of the order commanding them
to get busy and drum up a goodly
number of candidates for the OCCASION

following proclamation:
List little listen:
s 1t has been decreed (no not by the
Grand Vizier of Turkey, though tbs
said he has his hat in the ring) that
every votary arrange his affairs so that
he may be at Fraternal hall, Birming-
ham, on the 25th of November, at I
p. m. there to forget all sorrow and
sadness and revel in mrth and glad
ness. We already have a goodly number
of valuable documents called petitions
signed, sealed and delivered, which re-
pose in quiescent state in the desk of
the Industrious secretary, guaranteeing
goodly feast for the royal beast, but
we need more to make this ceremonial

called a ripsnorteD
To the votary bringing in the largest
number of tyros we will give a pound
of prunes, posy or pet megalausaurus.
The Right Honorable Charles Il. Rice,

Worlds fair at Chicago. when the Colum-
hian half dollars and quarter dollars werA
