There are several forms of seasick-

generation, wayy hair is held as the
most beautiful, so every woman de-

If you must curl your hair, don't
use hot iron. BY the time the iron

the hair and draw it into curl, it is
hot enough to hurt the hair itself. Use

THE PROPER SPIRIT

An Ely writer in "The Forum" OF
the Duluth News-Tribune Wednesday
had the following to say Of the Ely
Grand Marais road now assuming
shape. This writer is in strange con-
trast to several of our citizens who
see in every move something to hurt
their individual pockets. No name
was signed to the article, a fact to be
deplored as this sort of stuff shows
the proper spirit of which no man
need be ashamed. The article said:
From time to time / have read
where they were surveying a road
through the bush from Ely to Gun
flint and so on to Grand Marais. l
wonder if any of you people in Du-
luth realize how much this road, once
established, will mean not only to the
whole north country but to all of
you who love the outdoors and all of
you summer visitors who come up
this way in automobiles?
"There is now an excellent road
all the way from Duluth to Port Ar
thur and another all the way from
Duluth to Ely. The highway from
Ely to Grand Marais, connecting with
the former road, would complete a
triangular trip which would enclose
as well as traverse some of the finest
scenery and most notable country in
America.
81 have in mind in the first place
Duluth itself, which is unique among
cities. Then comes the region be-
tween Duluth and the iron ranges,
then Lake Vermiion and Ely. Sup
pose now it becomes possible for one
to drive along this route to Ely, then
turn gradually southeastward
through the magnificent interior
lake country which few but prospec-
tors, surveyors, engineers and trap
pers have ever seen, to the beautiful
hills of Saganaga, Knife Lake, Gun
flint, thence through broken but a
remarkable land of clear, sparkling
lakes to Grand Marais; and ''home"
to Duluth, if you will, along the high
way which almost everywhere is with
in little distance of Lake Superior
Excuse me, Mr.. Editor, if / seem
to grow poetic, but / know that few
people have been fortunate enough
to see even both sides of this triangle
and that those who have viewed the
country through which the third side
passes can be numbered inside a few
hundreds. / hope the Ely-Gunflint-
Grand Marais road will become fact
and that it will prove a decided as
set to the "Ten Thousand Lakes As
ISOLATION and the Minnesota Scenic
Highway association in their grand
work for the state"

the remainder will be divided be-
tween the state and national organi-

campaigns.
'This sale, conducted for the first
time by the County Health associa-

any single campaign heretofore" DR..
Laird said.

Peter Swanson of Tower was in

took occasion to call on the Miner
force. Mr.. Swanson has been the re-
cipient of considerable "spoofing"
lately on account of an item appear

that "Peter Swenson of Tower came

Of the judge who dismissed his ap-
plication for citizenship with the
statement that the applicant is not
a proper person to be admitted to
citizenship as he had not one single
thing to his credit in favor Of AM
erica" Mr.. Swanson has been en-
ployed as car repairer for the D. &
l. R. for years and has been a citizen
of this country for over 25 years.
The Swenson spoken of in the item
was not the same name, neither is
he relative or even an acquaintance
of the Peter Swanson who is with the
railroad and one of Towers best cit
liens. The play on names on the part
OF the jokesmiths is however very
disconcerting to Mr.. Swanson.

was a dreamer, an opium eater and a
man of curious moods and lenses.
One time he visited Germany and after

of Cologne. He corrOborated the an

certain Inhabitants thereof exploited
its imperfections by inyenting a per-
fume of the cheap and lingering sort.
by means of which the lives of the in
habitants were made more tolerable
since it furnished them with a pal
