AIDS TO DIGESTION

Whatever improves bodily conditions
in general aids digestion.
Cheerfulness, exercise, fresh air
baths and good habits make your di.
gestion better able to take care of any
burdens you impose upon it. But the
greatest aid to good digestion is good
blood. Anemia, or thin blood, is a
common cause of Indigestion Normal
action of the stomach is impossible
without healthy. well-oxidzed blood
Dyspepsia which does not yield to
ordinary treatment may be quickly cor
rected when the blood is enriched.
Many people have secured relief from
chronic forms of indigestion by the
use of DIR. Williams Pink Pills which
make the blood rich and red, capable
of carrying an increased amount OF
oxygen, the great supporter of human
life
Have you ever seriously, considered
giving DR.. Williams Pink Pills a trial
to tone up your digestion, increase
your vitality and make life better
worth living? If your blood is thin
and your digestion weak you certainly
need them. Send for the booklet,
What to Eat and How to Eat" It
is free and will help you decide.
DR. Williams Pink Pills are sold by
all druggists or direct from the Dr.

Chance to Make 500.

A peculiar chance to make 5000
by an easy feat of memory is offered
the people of Estherville and its
vicinity. A woman signing herself
Mrs. NJ. J. Lane" Wrights, Calf,
writes that she was married at the
conrt house in Estherville, June list,
1855 in the presence of "alL the
town" Her husband, she alleges,
subsequently deserted her and dis
owned her, leaving her to bring up
the children. He is now dead. The
eldest daughter went to England and
married. She is now trying to get
possession of her fathers property
TO the exclusion of her mother,
whose martial rights depend upon the
proof of the wedding. The certificate
is lost and her only hope is that
somebody present at the ceremony
can recall the occurrence and estab-
lish her rights to her husbands
property.

Cresco Man Badly Injured.

John Stinson, employed by the

a narrow escape from death last
Saturday at the brick and tile
works. He was standing on a box
making some repairs when he lost
his balance and in falling struck the
back of his hand on a wire carrying
1890 volts of electricity. After the
accident he walked down town and
bad his injuries treated by DR.. Kes-
sci and later went home. After
reaching home he complained that
his feet felt queer and upon exami-
nation it was found that holes had
been burnt thru the bottoms of his
shoes and his feet were badly burn
ed.
The thumb on his left hand is 50

him up for some time. How he with

Esterberg was the only man in the

There was small quantity, of gaso-

lighting the cigaret, 1t is believed he
tossed the lighted match into the
hIuid on the floor which Immediately
caught fire.
The flames instantly spread to
where he was standing and his oil
saturated clothes caught fire. He
rushed outside and began rolling in
the grass. A man passing by in g

LIGHTNING KILLS CATTLE.
Twenty Eight Head Killed in Pas.
ture Near Hampton.

George Eustice, who resides on
one of the Kempthorne farms south
west of Hampton, had twenty eight
head of fine cattle killed by light
lining early last Sunday morning.
They were of the black Polled
breed, and all of them were except
ionally good individuals, mostly
two year old heifers and steers, and
worth at least SIS to $50 a head.
Mr.. Eustice carried insurance on
them to the amount of $50 per
lead. which will help some. The
loss will be considerably more
than the value would indicate, as
Mr.. Eustice has plenty of pasture
for them, and it will be difficult to
replace them at this time, as good
young stuff is hard to get just now.
The cattle were all found dead in
group, out near the middle of the
PASTURE, and away from any trees or
fences. 1t is evident that they hud-
died together and were "going with
the storm" when hit by the bolt of
lightning. All around the ground
near where they lay dead the light
Mig had torn up the ground in
ridges which resembled mole
track. 1t must have been a terrific
bolt which struck the herd.-Hamp-
ton Chronicle.

Where Profiteering Exists.

In the indignation felt by the peo-
pie against profiteering, they should
remember one thing, which is that
cxorbitant prices are most common
ly charged on luxuries. When YOU
lear OF shoe merchant charging
200 per cent more than he paid for
an article, it is probably on some
article made to appeal to people of
wealth The feeling exists that those
people can afford to pay high, that
they demand an excessive degree of
perfection. and are perfectly willing
TO pay almost any price to get it.
There is some fallacy in that
point of view. Yet the people who
pay fancy prices are not entitled to
any great amount of sympathy. They
can dodge unreasonable prices by
buying the ordinary run OF goods at
advertised stores.

SOLD FARMER BASE BALL STOCK
Remarkable Tale Told of Credulity
in Guthrie County.

Perry, lathe most remarkable
story Of "blue sky peddling ever
heard of here is that which comes
from the territory west of Perry,
just over the line in Guthrie county.
" neither it is true or not can not be
|sscertained but the information has
been given out by people presumed
to be reliable.
The report in circulation here is
that stock statesmen succeeded in
peddling to farmer of Guthrie
county, $4,000 worth of stock in the
National league.
The salesman is said to have con-
WINGED his victim that the stock was
exceedingly valuable now and would
be more valuable in a short time.
He pointed out that there was no
greater or more popular game in the
world than baseball, that millions of
people attended the game annually
ard that the National league stock
would always be above par.
According to reports received
here the farmer fell for the talk and
paid the salesman $4,000 In cash.
OF course there is no srch stock

At Columbus, o., 1000 business

Also prices of the staples would be
kept down.
These 1000 men will get something
more than any money they may earn
or than the sense of performing a

them make friends. They will make
