HAVE YOU A
BAD BACK?
If You Have, the Statement Of this
Willmar Resident Will Inter-
est You.

Does your back ache, night and day;
Hinder work; destroy your rest?
Does it stab you through and through
When you stoop or lift or bend?
Then your kidneys may be weak.
Often backache is the clue.
Just to give you further proof,
The kidney action may be wrong.
If attention is not paid
More distress will soon appear.
Headaches, dizzy spells and nerves.
Uric acid and it's ills
Make the burden worse and worse.
Liniments and plasters can't
Reach the inward cause at all;
Help the kidneys-use the pills
Wil1mar folks have tried and proved.
What they say you can believe.

Use OF SEALING Wax.

The use of wax for the sealing Of
letters and parcels did not become gen
eral until the middle ages. Beeswax.
rendered yellow by time, was the first
material used. Then came sealing
wax mixed with white substance
Red wax began with Louis VI, in 1113,
and green wax made its appearance
about the year 1853. In the thirteenth
century, yellow, brown, rose. black and
blue were added to the foregoing COL
ors. Black wax was generally met
with in the seals of the military and
religious orders. Finally gummed en-
velopes gradually began to replace seal
ing wax. The first envelopes, which
were manufactured in England. date
back to 1910.

Life and LAUGHTER,

If we would dispel gloom or fore
holdings, and most of us really wish
to, we must give up the foolish habit
Of keeping tabs on troubles that are
beyond our control. We will find in
the scrap book, if we set about COM
piling one, splendid means to this
end. If we cannot interest ourselves
In the ''funnies" that thrill all our
small neighbors, let US scan the pages
that sparkle with happy sayings
those gripping, clean jOkes-"laugh
makers, that will rout the bluest Of
blue moods and cause our troubles to
completely dWindle away as we read
them. If we begin the fascinating task
Of collecting material of this stamp,
before we know it our book will prove
q treasure not only to ourselves, but to
whoever opens 1t.

Develop Character.

Character like cement must be al
lowed to harden before It's At for hard
things. Intentions are good things,
but they can never take the place of
tested and tried habits. They make
conduct second nature. When they
are right no difficulty Is too great to
master, no encouragement too grave to
change. Youth is the time to lay the
ribs Of reinforcement. Then as time
adds experience they become embed
ded in staying qualities that make the
life resistless. Every day has it's test
Ing. The result is stalwart character
Character Is the product of develop
ment. You can make it what you
want 1t to be If you begin early enough
and keep at 1t. Begin now to re-en-
force your life for the strenuous days
that are to be.

he has had word from his two sons,
Herbert and Robert, who left for the

MRS. MARTHA HANSON.


Mrs. Martha Hanson Of Minneapolis,
late of New London, passed to her
eternal reward on Dec. 18th, 1918 after
an illness of but ten days, the cause
of her death being pneumonia, follow
ing an attack OF Influenza. Mrs. Han
son, formerly Martha Larson, was born
In Bolnas, Sweden, Nov. 6, 1872; and
at fifteen years was. confirmed into
the Swedish Lutheran faith On
March Is, 1898, she, with her parents,
one sister and one brother came to
this country. to make their future
home. On April 18th, 1896, she was
married to Lars Hanson whose untime-
ly demise preceded hers by only nine
months. To the union have been born
five children, Eunice Melvina, the cid.
est, died at six months Of age, Arthur,
Lawrence and Reynold survive the
mother, while Gladys Linnea Hide
garde, aged IL years, the second
daughter, the pride and sunshine of
the home, was priviledged to make
the. long last journey into the Great
Beyond just a day later than her be-
loved mother. The daughter was SINH.
larly afflicted, was sick little over
a week, and both patients were remov.
ed at the same time to the Minneapo-
lis City Hospital for treatment. The
mother had a presentiment that God
would permit her to take the little girl
of tender years, on the journey heav-
onward with her, and it must have
comforted her in deaths hour to know
that the sweet and .timid daughter
| would not be buffeted by the harsh
| world, motherless and alone. The
| brothers Arthur and Lawrence are
employed in the Cities, and it was to
make home for them that the mother
and two little ones left New London
last fall to live in Minneapolis indie
fnitely. The tragedy of the home
broken up, falls heavily on these
young men whose mother was a most
exemplary Christian woman and a
woman of untiring energy, in caring
| for her home and loved ones there.
| Modest and unassuming, she truly fol-
| lowed in the Masters footsteps. The
youngest son Reynold will make his
home with Mr. and Mrs. Ole Hanson
of New London, Arthur and Lawrence
will return on Thursday to their EN-.
ployment in the city. The remains of
the mother and daughter were brought
to Lebanon Cemetery Saturday, Dec
ember 21st for interment together
Friends gathered at the grave for the
short but impressive service by Rev
IA. F. Almer. Besides the three sons
| there are left to mourn the loss, an
aged father, Lars Larson, two sisters
Mrs. Ole Hanson of New London and
Mrs Hans Hanson of Malm0, Mime
sofa, and one brother, Lars Larson OF
Minneapolis, all of whom were pres

Peppercorns and India.

The rise in the prices Of spices re-
calls that it was similar attempt In
the time Of Queen Elizabeth, says the
London Chronicle, which led to the es-
tablishment of the British empire in
India. The Dutch then held the mo-
nopoly of trade with India. At one
fell swoop they raised the price Of
pepper from SIS to IS pound.
Thereupon a meeting Of merchants
in London was called to protest
against "the most unchristian price
of pepper" with the result that there
was formed in 1899 the famous old
East India company which from sup
plying English cruets with pepper
passed insensbly to the conquest and
government of a sub continent.

Intricate Naval Signals.

Those who have read Cooper's novel,
1.-THE Pilot" will remember how the
American officer instructed his ladylove
to communicate with him by little flags
Of varied colors. Cooper, with nov

ply a system which had already been
extensively experimental with in the
British and French nayies For after
much experimenting combinations Of
flags Of various shapes and colors were
gradually developed into what we call
a code" today. Probably the most
famous flag signal ever flown was Mel
sons at Trafalgar. but it required a
great number of combina tons of flags
(hoists, they are technically called) to
spell out: England expects that every
man win do his duty"

Board Of Control You'd Increase
Capacity Of State Hospital at
:.. Willmar. E &

f. The State Board Of Control has re-
commended appropriations for the
Willmar State Asylum for the next
two years to the amount Of $488,200,
$308, 200 of which would be for build
Ieings and $3.50, 600 for. maintenance.
The number of patients in the insti-
tutions=for the insane on July 81, was
$3.50, an increase of 6.S per cent in
two years, and it is estimated that by
JAM, 1922, the earliest time when
buildings for which appropriations are
now asked might be completed, will
be JOG. The total capacity Of pres
ent buildings, including those now I'M
der construction, is $3.50 patients. g.
~ The following are the recommenda-
| tons of the Board of Control for the
+ Willmar Hospital i'm detail: - - ~-~'~
Three cottages for insane, $780, 900,
to provide additional accommodations
for the chronic insane. Will increase
the capacity: of the institution from
300 to SOL. The Board believes it bet
ter policy to provide additional &C
comnodation at Willmar than to erect
more cottages at the other two asy.
| lums at present.
Service building and assembly hall,
$4,000. A service building is abso-
lutely essential if the capacity of this
| institution is to be increased, as pres
| ent facilities will not care for any ad-
| ditional patients. It will contain a
central kitchen, dining room, bakery,
cold storage and dairy room. The Sec
ond floor would provide an assembly
hall where patients may gather for
entertainments and religious services.
The assembly hall can be built in con-
junction with the service building at
a lower cost than in any other way.
Barn for young stock, $500, to care
for young stock and provide room in
present dairy barn for additional COWS
which will be required on account OF
increased population
Milk house and equipment, $780,
to provide place and equipment for
the sanitary handling of milk.
| Equipment dairy barn, $1,000, stan.
chions and cement floor.
Repairs and betterments, $4,000;
$1,000 a year for the general upkeep
Special repairs, $4,000. Metal wealth
er strips for all windows, plastering
store-room in basement, painting ex
terror woodwork, restraining shingles
new floor in engine room and repairs
to tunnels.
Current expense, $1S0,0O0; $4,000
for 1920 and 100000 for 1921. The
average population for the year 1915
was 88. The institution now has &C
commodations for 300 and additional
cottages, for which appropriation is
recommended, will increase the capa
city of the asylum to SCI patients.

SHORTAGE IN DRUGS
LAID TO PORT TIEUP
Situation Causes Alarm as
Epidemic Would Mean
Serious Results.

Drugs, oils and chemicals valued at
millions Of dollars are tied up in this
port as a result Of the dock strike, and
the situation is said to be serious in
some quarters of the wholesale market
due to the scarcity of certain products.
Available supplies OF qulnine are run
ming low, and because OF the possibility
OF an epidemic of influenza the situation
Is viewed by some with alarm. One OF
the largest manufacturers OF quinine has
had a cargo Of cinchona bark held up in
New York Harbor for weeks, with small
prospect of its release for weeks to come
Many other crude drugs are extremely
scarce and the trade Is anticipating high
err prices on this account
1t Is estimated that more than SO, 000,-
900 worth OF essential oils is tied UP,
Drug and Chemical Markets reports
Prices of some oils have started to move
upward, oil of lemon, oil Of cloves. oil
OF citronella, oil or orange and others
being higher.
Coal tar intermediates are in good de-
mand. especially stocks for spo. deliv-
cry, but very little business for 1920 is
being closed owing to the uncertain con-
ditions. Colors are in demand, many
important types being scarce.
Orders for vegetable oils and animal
oils are limited but first hands are hold
ing prices firm, second hands offering
material more freely and shading prices
IN efforts to unload. Producers say
stocks arc not large and with renewed
demand they expect higher levels for
many products.

Sole Leather Market Strong.

Boston, Oct. 29.--Buyers of leather
who were the most confident that there
would be a general decline in prices are
beginning to realize the inherent strength
of the market. the Shoe aud Leather Re
porter states this week. Sole leather has
held strong all along for the reason that
during the big boom in hides the tanners
were unable to work their product up to
replacement values. with the result that
when hides declined the parity was re-
stored without any reduction in sole
leather quotations.
+. The position OF upper leather was not
quite the same. The chrome tannage Is
much quicker than the bark process.
hence 1t is more nearly possible on a
fuctuating raw material market to keep
upper stock somewhere near the replace
ment basis. The rapid slump In hides
affected the upper leather market. but
the quick recovery of the raw material
has stiffened the views OF tanners who
were inclined to make concessions.
The most serious problems Of the shoe
trade centre around the volume OF pro-
duction. and the question now Is not one
Of selling but Of making the shoes. Re
ports indicate that manufacturers, job
bers and retailers realize that not
enough shoes are being made to give the
trade the number OF pairs required
