Nature Cures, The Doctor Takes the
Fee,

There is an old saying that Mature
cures, the doctor takes the fee," but
as everyone knows you can help Ma
ture very much and thereby enable it
to effect cure in much less time than
is usually required. This is particu-
larly true of colds. Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy relieves the lungs, liq-
uifies the tough mucus and aids in its
expectoration, allays the cough and
aids Nature in restoring the system
to healthy condition.

IN street lights was held Tuesday
evening and it was decided to
order lights Immediately. There
will be six suspension lights, five

die. The strongest light will be
hung at the railroad crossing and
the balance on the most import
ant corners. Carl Miller was ap-
pointed to confer with the Cen
eral Electric Company of Clo-
quet and. see that we get SER
vice as quick as possible. The
lights will be on all night SO
there will be no going home in
the dark, in Askov, and the ex-
pense will be borne by all users
of current in and about town,
which will amount to about 35c
apiece. With an Incorporated
village this expense would be
borne by the village and the cost
would be proportionately accord
ing to property. However no
trouble was encountered in Sc
curing current users to foot the
bills. All are progressive enough
to want the light and to pay for
it. Askov is going right ahead.
Cooperation, willingness, deter
mination and progressiveness is
what is putting Askov on the
map. Boosting, not knocking, is
what we like.

May 18th is the Norwegian Con-
stitutional Day, it was planned
to give the festivities a national
character. Several ministers
from Montana, Washington, Ore
gon, and South Dakota had been
invited as speakers. The pro
gram had been arranged after
conferences between representa-
tives of the three Norwegian
Churches in the Montana Dis
trict.
The Minnesota Conference of
the Swedish Lutheran Augustana
Synod was held last week at Cen
ter City, MINI. The treasurer
reported a deficit in the mission
treasury of about $4,000, most
of it bcin" old Indebtedness to
the Augustana Synod of Ameri-
ca; in order to liquidate this
debt, the conference voted to
levy an extra assessment of ten
cents per capita on the $1,000
members during the next two
years. The conference expressed
in series of resolutions the 10y
alty of its members to the Ma
ton.
What may prove to be a very
important invention has been
made by Frants Djorup, a Dane
in Chicago, who has succeeded in
constructing a device by which it
is possible to produce a concrete
foundation for heavy guns; this
new material will dry up in q
few hours whereas the material
hitherto in use requires several
days. The inventor is negotiat-
ing with the War Department in
Washington, and it is reported
that the construction experts
have become much impressed
with the new invention which
may solve a difficult problem.
Cable dispatches from DEN
MARK agree that the food situa-
ton is very serious, although it
is too early to say that the coun-
try actually is on the verge Of
starvation. All kinds of govern
mcnt restrictions are imposed on
the consumption of home pro-
ducts, much to the annoyance of
the population. 1t is the con-
census of opinion that America S
entering the ranks of the Allies
means a prolonged war, and even
TIE most optimistic among Danes
fear the future. The possibili-
ties of war and starvation are
not as remote as they formerly
were.-In NORWAY nothing
worth cabling has happened dur
ing the last few days, but mail
advices, dated Apr. 18th, report
increasing Indignation toward
Germany. The land of the Morse
men is now being freely lien
toned as one Of the first addi-
tional states to cast their lots
with Cermany's enemies.-The
situation in SWEDEN is still
fraught with dangers and diff
ficulties, and new hunger riots
have taken place in Stockholm,
Gothenburg, and Malmo. A
strenuous political fight between
the people and their monarch is
in progress, and the final out
come cannot be foreseen.
