scribed by an Arab correspondent Of

To the Farmers of Winneshiek COun-
ty and Others Interested in
Good Farm Lands.

The Bayfield, Investment Associa.
ton of Mason, Wisconsin, own a
large tract of cutOver timber land
in Bayfield, County, Wisconsin, which
is being sold on easy terms
prices ranging from $500 to $4,000
an acre.
Mr.. ii. t. Ramlo OF DEBORAH. Iowa
has inspected these lands and states
that the district has the possibilities
of being one of the best regions for
general farming, fruit growing and
dairying that he has ever seen.
The lands are widely known for
their abundant growth of clover and
timothy which is usually cut twice
"a year. The soil is well adapted to
the growth of all kinds of grain
corn, wheat, oats rye, flax and bar
ley, while potatoes and other root
crops are exceptionally profitable.
Mr.. Ramlo will be glad TO tell any
one regarding the possibilities OF
Upper Wisconsin cutover lands. A
talk with him and trip to Bayfield,
County, Wisconsin will convince you
that the day of buying good land, at
Il reasonable price, is not past.

BEADS BEFORE BREAD
 IN CITIES OF LEVANT

CONSTANTlNOpLE, July 31. - Beads are more necessary to the Levantine than bread. Men. women and children wear and carry beads to ward off ill luck. Even horses and dOnkeys have strands of beads about their necks Ito baffle the evil eye and the long horns of the work oxen are decorated with blue and white beads to keep them from falling prey to diseases.
 In Athens, Constantinople, Tiflis, Smyrna and other cities of the Le- want, men of all classes carry short strands of fidget beads which they play with while walking in the street, riding in the street cars or trains, just as nervous men in the West finger their watch chains. Bead shops abound everywhere in the larger cities and general stores and market stalls sell them in the small CT places. Peddlers hawk them in the streets everywhere
 Light colored beads of large size are the latest thing in beads for women. Meerschaum beads are also popular and for the moment plain beads of all sorts have displaced highly ornate carved beads of the type which Syrians produce in great quantities for exportaeion.

Look and Feel Clean, Sweet and
 Fresh Every Day
Drink . glass of real hot water
 before breakfast to wash v out polsons

Life is not merely to live, but to live well. eat well, digest well, work well. sleep well, look well. What ] gorious condition to attain, ana yet how very easy it is if one will only adopt the morning inside bath
 Folks who are accustomed to feel aull and heavy when they arise splitting headache, stuffy from a cold, foul tongue, nasty breath, acid stomach, can, instead, feel as fresh as daisy by opening the sluicos of the system each morning and flushing out the whole of the inter- nal poisonous stagnant matter
 Everyone, whether ailing, sick or well, should, each morning, before breakfast, drink glass of real hot water with teaspoonful of lime stone phosphate in 1t to wash from the stomach, liver, kidneys and bow els the previous days indigestible waste. sour bile and poisonous tox- ins; thus cleansing, sweetening and purifying the entire alimentary can al before putting more food into the stomach. The action of hot water and limestone phosphate on an emp ty stomach is wonderfully invigor- ating. It cleans out all the sour gases, waste and ac- idity and gives one a splendid ap- petite for breakfast. While you are enjoying your breakfast the water and phosphate is quietly extracting a large volume of water from the blood and getting ready for thor Dugh flushing of all the inside or gans.
 The millions of people who are bothered with constipation, bilious spells, stomach trouble, rheumatism; others who have sallow skins. blood disorders and sickly complexions are urged to get a quarter pound of limestone phosphate from the drug store which will cost very little. l put is sufficient to make anyone | l pronounced crank on the subject If internal sanitation.

 BY PROHIBITION,
 DECLARES GARY
Head of Steel Corporation Says Dry Laws Benefiting
 Nation Economic Life

NEW YORK, July 31-Prohibition has been beneficial to the nations industrial and economic life, in the opinion of Ebert H. Gary, head Of the United States Steel Corporation, who issued a statement here on the eve of departure for Europe, giving his views on the business outlook generally.
 "The prohibition laws have had marked effect" he said. 'Tn nearly newspaper one will read of fewer inmates of prisons, almshouses and hospitals, and large balances in say ings institutions and better, cleaner and healthier conditions in the dwell ings, all on account of prohibition Testimony on this subject is accumu- lated day by day. From an economic pecuniary standpoint, I think larger majority of the people of this country are in favor of prohibition and it is pleasing to note that the large num- Der of workmen, so far as I am in formed, subscribe to this view.
 ouSiHCSo SdI'ot0SSOty
 Business conditions should be considered satisfactory Mr. Gary said, although there has been a lack of prudence in business man agement since the armistice, as re- gards prices.
 There seems to have been a dis position on the part of the larg> numbers" he added, ito ask and accept the highest prices which could be obtained. Consequently there has been added to going prices the amount which the producer had been obliged to pay, with the profit on the whole, and the purchaser has been obliged to charge an increased price to his customers"
 The disposition to work and pro duce has been materially diminished according to MT. Gary. He cites an instance by which, he said, in order to remove and replace headlight on a locomotive, "it has been necess- ary to employ four different men because of labor regulations, where one man heretofore, performed the same service in less time.
 Labor More Efficient "The rule has prevailed" he said, Of doing as little work as possible and of securing az large pecuniary results as could be obtained. How. ever, somewhat to my surprise, have ascertained upon inquiry in the

100000 PRISONERS IN
 RUSSIA, YET, ESTIMATE

LONDON, July 31.-Dr. Fridtjof Nansen, explorer, who has just been here on a mission for the repatria ton of prisoners of war now in Rus- sia. estimates that there are still some 100000 prisoners or all nation alities in that country and Siberia Although the lot of the prisoners in Siberia and Turkestan was ter rible, he said. the Russians were not treating them badly.
 Considering the very bad condi tions existing in Siberia and other parts,' said Dr. Nansen, "the men are, practically speaking, very little worse off than the majority of the population"
 Dr. Nansen said the great difficulty in getting the prisoners home was transportation.
 He hoped through the League of Nations, to raise a loan among the nations, neutrals as well as late belligerents, for the purpose of de- fraying the cost of bringing the men home.
 America has been helping splen- didly in this humanitarian work" he said. "Only a short time ago I re- ceived a lresent of $3,000,000 for charitable work among the prisoners, and besides this the American Red Cross and Y M c. A. is providing workers and comforts for the men

 Professor Sedgwick: Tn Amer ica, religion is becoming a depart ment of practical business. Many churches vie with one another in advertising goods which are all ma tcrial benefits-'F Follow me and you will get rich; Follow me and you will get well; Follow me, and you will be cheerful. prosperous, sue cessful happy" The most popu- lar hymns are subjective, not ob- jective-based on self, not on God express what one wants-our own comfort, happiness, help. peace. Those that set forth the glory of God, and make some demand on us for adoration, worship. thanks giving, are not so popular.
