say will be the best map ever publish
ed of Minnesota for the use of auto
mobile tourists, road officials and
others, is in course of preparation by
engineers of the Minnesota Highway

For the convenience of roadmakers
the map will show the location of the
various sand and gravel pits and stone
quarries. The commission has on
hand thousands Of requests for such
map.

MORE MEN THAN WOMEN

Surgeons state men are slightly
more subject to appendicitis than
women. Sank Centre people should
know that a few doses of simple buck
thorn bark, glycerine, etc., as mixed
in Adler-i-ka, often relieve or pre-
vent appendicitis. This mixture re-
moves such foul matter that ONE
SPOONFUL relieves almost ANY
CASE constipation, sour stomach or
gas. The INSTANT, easy action of
Adler-i-ka is surprising. Chas. Fies-

piillion dollars for buildings and en-
dowment. A little more than two

Peasant and Pics,

a clever smuggling trick was
played on a customs officer on the
Eusso-Gcrman frontier. An inno-
cent looking peasant reported to
the officer a plot that was on foot
Tor getting a large number of pigs
across the frontier. The method.
he said, would be to drive across at
intervals of half an hour, 3. 6, 10
and 200 pigs, the smugglers arguing
that if the first three lots could be
sent ovcr there would be no trouble
with the 200.
The officer was naturally on the
alert. In accordance with the peas
ant statement three pigs were driv-
en- over, then six, followed by
twelve. All were allowed to pass,
and preparations were made to re-
cclve the 200. But no more pigs
appeared, and the twcnty-onc ami
mails admitted had in the meantime
been lodged in safety.
