Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect It
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is
soon realized. It stands the highest for
it's remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview on the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
so many applicants for insurance are re-
iected is because kidney trouble is SO
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applica-
tions are declined do not even suspect
that they have the disease. It is on sale
at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes,
medium and large.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper.-Adv.

RASCALS
Biliousness, Headache, Colds
Constipation. driven out
with "CascaretS"

Why take nasty cathartics, sickening

poison which is keeping your head
dizzy, your tongue coated, your skin
salIow, your breath offensive, and your
stomach sour. Get a box of Cascarets
at the drug store and rid your liver,

poisons, and waste which are keeping
you miserable. Cascarets never grippe,
never sicken, never inconvenience.
They cost so little and work while you

arrangements and posting no

lated in the three districts by
Andrew J. Larsen and Fl. r.
Buck. the signature of about 50
citizen freeholders being Sc
cured. Only one-fourth of the
citizen freeholders is required

lcaveway. The men who circu-
lated the petition said they had
no difficulty in securing the SO.
The election will be held on
Saturday, August 23 at the Jack.

SUCCESSFUL TELEPHONE
MEETING

A meeting for the purpose of
discussing the installation of
telephone service in Askov was
held in the town hall Monday
evening. The committee ap-
pointed at the meeting held July
% reported that their efforts in
trying to interest the North
western Telephone Co. to put in
an exchange here had been a TO-
tai failure inasmuch as the COM
pany had not even answered the
two letters written them. The
committee had, however, had an
interview with N. C. Roos. own
er and manager Of the telephone
exchange at Finlayson, who ap-
parently was willing to put in an
exchange at Askov. Mr.. Roos at
tended the meeting Monday eve
ming and addressed the large
number that had gathered. Mr..
Roos offered to put in telephone
service here and commence work
on same at once if 125 subscrib-
ers could be secured. A brief
discussion followed and several
questions were asked as to SER
vice which Mr.. Roos answered to
the apparent satisfaction of all.
The cost Of getting a telephone
will be nothing more than the
regular monthly rent Of $3.50 for
residences and $1.75 for business
phones per month, which. in the
face Of present high prices, is
cheap. A list was prepared fol-
signatures for telephone service
and 81 signed the list that eve

ming; since then the list has in
creased to over 100, so the re-
quired amount of 125 will easily
be reached. Mr.. Roos and rep
resentative from the st. Paul
Electric Co., St. Paul, were here
again yesterday checking up the
amount of wire, poles, etc, that
would be required.
N. c. Bendiks has the list of
subscribers and anyone wanting
phone service should see him as
soon as possible and get. their
name on the list. 1t is urgent
that all who expect to have tele-
phones installed, sign the list at
once, so material can be ordered
and plans laid accordingly. If,
for instance, 18 farmers live on
a 3 mile stretch and only IL of
them sign up for phones then on
ly one line will be run out there.
Later when l, e, 3 or more of
them want service then the line
Mas to be overloaded and perhaps
have ID or Is subscribers on it at
one time until there are enough
to warrant 2 lines, whereas If
all of them would sign up at
once there would be 2 lines right
away with only 8 subscribers on
each line.
The construction of the system
can be rushed considerably if the
subscribers will cooperate with
the management. But the first
thing is to get the total number
Of subscribers, SO il, you want
phone service this fall, get your
name on the list. The list will
be turned over to Mr.. Roos the
first of next week and he will
then lay his plans according to
that.
Mr.. Roos stated that il mater.
ial and labor could be secured as
fast as he anticipated, some
phones should be connected up
in about go days and nearly. all
of them before Christmas.
While here yesterday, Mr.. Roos
was making arrangements to
have the central office in one or
two rooms on the second floor OF
the hotel.
The two wire, or metallic sys-
tenn, will be installed, which is
known as being the best.

COOPERATIVE FEED
STORE BURNED
Saturday Forenoon Blaze Causes
Excitement in AskOv--Other
Buildings Saved.

The village of Askov expert
enced it's first fire in nearly three
years Saturday. when the Askov
Cooperative Association feed
store was completely destroyed.
The fire, nearly three years ago,
was when the saw mill was de-
stroyed day before Thanksgiving.
The fire Saturday came on sud-
denly without any warning at
about $50 in the forenoon and is
thought to have been caused by
a dust explosion. presumably
from a hot box. N. c. Bendiks,
manager Of the feed store, had
been grinding feed that morning
and had sold feed to several GUS
toners. when about $50 he went
up town on an errand. He had
been gone less than FIVE minutes
when several men in the vicinity
Of the feed store noted the fire
and gave out the alarm. When
Mr.. Bendiks returned, as above
noted. in less than Ave minutes.
the entire inside Of the building
was one mass of flames. The
flames broke through the roof
Immediately and the entire
building was envefoped. Any
attempt to save some of the ma
chinery and feed was futile.
For fear that the fire might
spread and burn all the potato

man in the village and every

cal engines were not needed A
few men from Sandstone were on
their way up here before word
reached there that the danger
was past. one automobile max
ing the trip in Is minutes.
The loss Of the building Is not
considered very great q IL was
= wooden structure and not very
expensive. but there was 1 good
new motor and grinder--the to-
tai value of building and ma
chinery being about $500. The
feed stored ii the building
amounted to more. being little
over $1,000. A carload Of feed
had been received just two days
before the FIRE. The loss 10 near

would cost more than that to re-
place it today. The amount Of
insurance carried on building
and stock was $500. The in
surance adjuster was here yes
terday to look over the ruins and
make report to the company.
Settlement has as yet not been
made. but it is estimated that
the direct loss to the Askov Co

the neiRhborhood Of $1,000.
