NO REASON FOR IT

When Bemidji Citizens Show A Way
There can be no reason why any
reader of this who suffers the tor
lures of urinary disorders, the pains
and dangers of kidney ills will fail to
heed the words of a neighbor who
has found relief. Read what a Benz
idji citizen says:
Mrs. P. schoendeman, S14 Bemidji
Ave., Bemidji, MIMI, says: Zone of
the family had trouble from his
back and kidneys, caused by hard
work. He suffered badly from lame
ness across his loins. Whenever he
stopped he could hardly get up
again. Two years ago, while living
in Brainerd, he was having so much
trouble that he knew he had to do
something. Doan's Kidney Pills were
recommended to him as the best
remedy for kidney disorders and he
began taking them. In a short time
he was rid of the trouble. Since then
he has taken Doan's Kidney Pills
occasionally and has always had
quick relief: We have great faith in
this remedy
Price soc, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy
get Doan'ss Kidney Pills the same
that Mrs. Schoendeman recommends

To prevent what promises to be- an
unusual amount of "country DAM
age" to cotton this year, the cotton
marketing specialists of the Depart
ment of Agriculture are urging grow
ers to warehouse their cotton, or, if
this is impossible, to build temporary
sheds to protect it. They state that
even under normal conditions of dol
lars from what is commonly called
country damage" :!
Owing to the war in Europe the
present crop cannot be marketed
readily, and an unusual large amount
Of cotton, they point out, is lying I'M
protected around gins and on the pro-
ducers' premises. The aggregate
amount of country damage, therefore,
they say, is likely this year to be far
greater than usual, and in view of
the fact that there il such large
surplus, spinners and exporters will
unquestionably discriminate sharply
and exporters will against damaged
cotton. Al - g.. Z
1T is generally believed" sayTthe
experts, that many new warehouses
should be built to house the crop, but
a careful investigation by the Office
of Markets indicates that if all the
warehouses at the ports in the in
terror and belonging to the cotton
mills were used, every bale of cotton
produced this year could be stored
without the erection of additional
buildings
Emphasizing the Importance of
housing cotton, the specialists say:
Few individuals and and very few
banks are willing to advance money
on cotton when it is not properly
housed and insured. Those who do
so are taking certain amount of
risk and almost invariably charge
higher rates of interest than the
owner of the cotton need pay if his
cotton is properly stored. It is also
understood that no part of the $685.
100000 subscribed by the bankers
of the country to be loaned on cotton
at six per cent will be advanced on
cotton which is not properly housed
and stored"

In yesterdays issue of the Interna-
tional Falls Daily Journal, the fol-
lowing complimentary comment con-
corning Judge Marshall A. Spooner
of this city, appears: Judge NJ. A.
Spooner of Bemidji is spending the
day in town. The judge has not
been here for several months on &C
count of the demand elsewhere upon
his time, and while he has been so
busy with professional matters his
friends in Bemidji (the entire citizen
ship have about succeeded in drag
ging him into politics. He is want
ed for mayor of that city and &C
cording to Bemidji resident he has
been selected as one of few men who
could unite the factions of the town
and leave the officials free from petty
matters to work for a greater Be-
midi. From a distance it would ap-
pear that Bemidji would be fortunate
if she can induce Judge Spooner to
assume the duties of the office of
mayor, as he is eminently fitted for
the place both by reason of his knowl-
edge of public affairs and by tenn
permanent.

Washington, Jan. 20. That the
quality of milk sold in our large
cities depends largely upon the sort
of treatment it receives from the
time the farmer leaves it at the way
station until it has been received at
the big city milk distributing mar
ket, has been clearly established by
a recent Federal investigation of the
milk supply of Pittsburgh, says the
Department Of Agriculture in bull
letin just issued.
It was also made clear that the
excellence of city's milk supply de-

refrigeration of the cans after they
are delivered for transit. AS a re-
suit of the investigation, Pittsburgh,

express or freight car got so warm
in an eight or nine hours trip from
the country to the city that cans fire.
quently blew up or "geysered," is
now getting a product that is put
into a modern refrigerator car at the
country station and is kept chilled
until it is delivered to the home.
After some controversy, refereed by
the Department of Agriculture, be-
tween shippers and dealers, a 20 per
cent advance in the traffic rates on
milk in the Pittsburgh district was
agreed to, with approval of the In
terstate Commerce commission with
the proviso that rapid .refrigera-
ton service be provided by the rail-
roads in the transportation of milk.
The case of Pittsburgh is fairly typi-
cal of the milk situation of all the
large cities of the United States, says
the department, and it urges au-
thorities to begin movements in their
prospective districts.

LONDON, May 1.-THE Daily

sends an account of an engagement be
tween Zeppelin and squadron Of
allied aeroplanes in Belgium IN which
the Zeppelin and two of the allied

ed and attacked by the aeroplane
squadron. Many persons counted q
machines in the allied feet. The Yep
pelin made spirited fight with its
machine guns and tried to escape by
soaring, but the aeroplanes manoeu-
vered skilfully and quickly gave the
dirgible no chance to get away. The
Zeppelin was disabled in less than Is
minutes and it fell between Brussels
and Client. Several explosions accom-
panied its fall and all the crew of so
are believed to have been killed. Two
of the aeroplanes were destroy

was at that time the Baptist parsonage and
