made all the more tragic because Of
the splendid ideals that led to its &C.
Establishment. :
The great Norwegian violinist. al
ways an admirer of America, wished
to obtain location for q model colony
Of his countrymen. He bought thou
sand acres Of a Arm of land dealers
and soon afterward brought to this
country several hundred Norwegians.
A clearing was made, the village Of
Oleana built and, in an address to the
tOwnspeople, Ole Bull set forth the
hopes that had inspired his mission.
The address follows:
Brothers of Norway From the
cline where the north wind has its
where the aurora for half the year
takes the place of the genial sun, we
have come to find home. When we
were among our mountains, and war
was bringing want and famine upon
us, we heard there was a country in a
miider climate where liberty dwelt and
plenty reigned. Upon looking over our
records, we found that our country
men, under Thorfin, had discovered
years ago. but that they were met by
cruel and savage Indians, and had left
no record of themselves, except some
traces of their sad history engraven
in the rocks of Fall river, and one tenn
pie which they raised to God on an
island at the mouth of Narragansett
bay. All other record of them had
passed away.
How different is our reception from
that which ThOrfin and his followers
received. No savage Indian startles us
with his war whoop, but kind friends
meet US on every side, taking us by the
hand and giving us welcome to our
new home.
Brothers of Norway! We must not
disappolnt this confidence, but by
lives of industry and honesty show to

misplaced their friendship.
"And now, to these gentlemen of
New York and Pennsylvania. who have
SO kindly assisted by their counsel and
advice in this work, return my most
sincere and heartfelt thanks, and cast
ing ourselves upon the goodness Of our
heavenly Father, resting secure upon
his promise, let us go on in the daily
performance Of every duty. and he
will bless u.s."
There was q pathetic aftermath.
Hardly had the pioneers got well un-
der way with their BODYBUILDING when
1t was discovered that the violinist had
been victimized. The company that
sold him the land had no valid title to
it. The people Of Oleana scattered,
some Of them penniless and with few
friends in the new country. Ole Bull,
with splendid loyalty to those he had
brought to this pass, gave public con-
certs to raise money for their relief.

Salts in Hot Water
Clears Pimply Skin
Says we must make kIdneyo

pies disappear.

Pimples, sores and boils usually re-
suit from toxins, poisons and impuri-
ties which are generated in the bowels
and then absorbed into the blood
through the very ducts which should
absorb only nourishment to sustain
the body.
It is the function Of the kidneys to
filter impurities from the blood and
cast them out in the form Of urine.
but in many instances the bowels
create more toxins and impurities than
the kidneys can eliminate, then the
blood uses the skin pores as the next
best means of getting rid of these i'm
purities which often break out all
over the skin in the form Of pimples.
The surest way to clear the skin Of
these eruptions, says noted authority,
is to get from any pharmacy about
four ounces of Jad Salts and take a
tablespoonful in a glass of hot water
each morning before breakfast for one
week. This will prevent the formation
Of toxins in the bowels. It also stimu.
lates the kidneys to normal activity,
thus coaxing them to filter the blood
OF Impurities and clearing the skin OF
pimples.
Jad Salts Is inexpensive, harmless
and is made from the acid Of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with nthia.
Here you have a pleasant, effervescent
drink which usually makes pimpdes dis.
appear; cleanses the blood, and Is ex.
cellent for the kidneys as welL-Adv.
