Positive Relief
For Constipation

The progress Of modern medical
science is, perhaps, no more force
fully evident than in the simplify
ing of many OF the old time re-led-
les of past generations. For in
stance, the harsh cathartics and
violent purgatives used by our fore
fathers to relieve constipation are
now known to be not only unneces-
sary but really harmful. COnstipa-
ton can be more effectively relieved
without the discomfort and pain
these O1d-time remedies occasion.

some interesting figures in regard to
the movement initiated by the rail-
roads to get Scent fares legalized
The Northwestern in 1909, the last
wear under 3-cent fares earned sS95.7s
while in 1914, under 2-cents It earned
81. 423.74. The South Shore IN 1909
earned S1,S97.63 while in 1914, IL
earned $2,45S.2S per mile. The North
western increased 20 per cent and the
South Shore 80 per cent in the i've
years. The operating expenses IN
creased also but the railroads do not
want to separate their passenger ex-
penses from their freight, claiming
that II can't be done The Pere Mar

LOOKING BETTER ALL THE TIME
To-day was the biggest day that we
have had in the bank for over two
years., said Cashier Gaffney of the
Iron County National Bank last Mon
day night. 1--WE did more business In
every line, in exchange, in cashing
checks and receiving deposits
That statement gives one an idea
of how business is in Crystal Falls.
All we have to do to keep the wheels
moving is to stand up to the rack and
make the best of what is going. With
the very good feeling over the placing
at work of 800 men in this city, the
people are loosening up. II has been
significant during all these trying
months that there was a great deal
OF money in circulation The long
period of prosperity that preceded
the dull times gave people an oppor-
tunity to husband few resources
for rainy day and they evidently
did so.

show that the charge is false or TO

THAT coMMIssIoNERsHIP

Since our issue of last week we
have been informed that John Mason
IS to have opposition. His opposi-
ton is Mrs. Robinson, a teacher in
the Iron River schools. We have
no rocks to throw at Mrs. Robinson
or any other person who seeks pub
lie Office; that is privilege that is
accorded every citizen and far be 1t
from our purpose TO abridge that pri-
vilege.
We cannot, however, refrain from
saying that we are extremely sorry
that Mr.. Mason IS to be opposed for a
second term. He deserves IT, Some
one may say that this is not Mr.. Ma
sons second term and literally they
would be correct in their state
ment but in its most important sense
IL is his second term; the second one
In which he will devote his entire
time to the Office and be paid in pro-
portion
The Office of county commissioners
Of shcools should be no sinecure. IL
is an important one and when a man
is found who fits well into the office
the people should hesitate to change
MIR. Mason is heart and soul in tine
work. His work with the boys; his
rural school efforts, all OF these things
go to stamp him as the proper man for
Iron county to keep In the school
work just as long as he will consent
to put so much personal work and sc
much personality into the Office
Think well. voters, before you mon
key with our schools.

pears the list OF words which County
Commissioner Mason has picked out
as the basis OF a good spoilers stock

words and the proper use and spelling
OF each constitutes a pretty fair edu-
cation. BE sure to cut them out and
save them for reference. Try and see
II you can spell them all correctly.

Improvement of education and educa-
tional facilities in this county. Give
him a hand.

years ago TO make the run for con-

Conditions in Crystal Falls have
been a talking point for outsiders
Agents claim that they do the best
business in Crystal Falls of any place
in the peninsula. The Iron River
stambaugh Reporter in its last issue
points out the difference between
this city and Iron River II says:
"The Diamond Drill last week
preached a sermon to Crystal Falls
merchants on combating the evil OF
the mail order business. The fault
was laid at the door of local mer-
chants who have apparently shown
no disposition to go after the business
and help themselves. The Diamond
Drill points out that merchants Of
Iron River advertise what they have
for sale and offer leaders and induce
ments for people to trade at home by
quoting prices on goods of quality that
no mail order house can compete
with.
In this isue of the Reporter the
readers will note the big double page

tains enough bargains for any eco
nomic householder.

arrangement will enable the teachers
