GAVE HIM A
YEAR TO LIVE
But Allentown Veteran Fooled the
Doctors and Got Back His
Health

Herbert A. Snyder, 1912 Turner
ST., Allentown, Pa, went to war q
healthy man. He came back gassed,
nervous, run down and depressed. His
ondition became worse and worse.
Soon he despaired of ever being well
again. Doctors doubted whether he
would live whole year,
Today Mr.. Snyder is a changed
man. He has regained his health.
He has added fourteen pounds to his
weight. His appetite is unusually
good. His nervousness and depression
are gone. He sleeps we'll and has
plenty of energy and ambition.
What caused this wonderful
change? What brought back the joy
of living to this war veteran, cast
away his dependency and gave him
health and happiness? Ask Mr..
Snyder and he will tell you he owes
the change to the marvellous effects
of Munyon's Paw Paw Tonic, the
national strength-builder.
81 can recommend Paw Paw
Tonic to any one who is run down.
says Mr.. Snyder, "or for any one
who is nervous, depressed, sleepless
and lacking in appetite as l was. Ny
doctors and friends thought / would
not live year. But took Paw Paw
and the result is / have gained IA
pounds, sleep like baby, feel good
all over, have more pep and ambition.
| think Paw Paw is a wonderful
tonic.o
Munyon's Paw Paw Tonic creates
physical strength. 1t is probably the
one thing that can do YOU worlds of
good. Try it! 1t costs only 81 a
bottle. Only 81 for health that
many would pay thousands of dollars

DAY! There's Munyon Pill for

h. L. BeeCher Is
Eagle President
ELECTED TO HIGHEST OFFICE
OF BIG CONCERN AT AN
NUAL MEETING.

H. L. Beecher, a former resident of
Redwood Falls, under whose able
management and untiring efforts the
Eagle Roller Mill Co. of New Ulm
has made such excellent progress in
spite of the disastrous stress period
following the World war, was elected
president of New Ulm's largest and
most extensive industry, at the an
nual stockholders meeting, held Tu-
esday. His election was unanimous,
which indicates the implicit confidence
the owners of the mill repose in him.
In view of Mr.. Beecher's splendid past
accomplishments as general manag-
er of the large concern, this conf
dence is, indeed, well-merited.
In speaking Of Mr.. Beecher's cleo
ton the Brown County journal says;
"When Mr. Beecher entered the en-
ploy of the Eagle Roller Mill Co
December 49,, 1905, as correspon-
dent under the management of the
late Charles Silverson, who was its
president at that time, he. brought
with him, above all, an indefatigable
ambition to climb the ladder of sue
cess. In early boyhood, he had learn
ed to meet and overcome obstacles,
and during his long railroad eperi-
ence, he acquired an intimate execu-
tive knowledge, in addition to pain
stalking detail. From the outset, Mr..
Beecher took an active interest in
the affairs of the milling company.
"Mr. Beecher's first promotion came
after three years of hard work, whel.
he was elected as one of the five di-
rectors of the company, as well as
its treasurer, January 1, 1909. This
advancement served as an added i'm
petus to his activity, and when he
became general manager, upon the
death of the late Charles Vogtel, No
vember 8, 1920, he continued inau-
gurating improved systems in every
department of the extensive enter
prise. These systems have been
gradually perfected until now they
rank second to none in the country,
so far as the milling industry is con-
cerned.
"Mr. Beecher has imbued his assist
ants and co-workers with an enthu-
siasm that has resulted in the build
ing up of an organization such as any
concern of magnitude might well feel
proud of. This fact was forcibly
brought out during the. convention Of
the company's large and efficient
sales force, held in this city last
month. There is remarkable spirit
of cooperation and harmony extani
among all of the many employees, and
this factor has proved an important
item in the wonderful progress made
during recent years, while other large
concerns throughout the country were
struggling against oblivion threat
ened by the trying postwar times.
"Mr Beecher is the first active
president of the Eagle Roller Mill Co

Tourists Like Us

Tourist visitors to Redwood Falls
have expressed themselves as greatly
pleased with the city as we'll as with
the camp in Ramsey Park. A towns
man, making a casual visit among
them one evening last week, was high
ly3 gratified to hear both men and wo-
men speak in the highest terms Of
the treatment. accorded them by the
business people with whom they have
had dealings. They spoke of the
fairness of the prices charged for
groceries meat and other supplies and
of the courtesy shown them by the
tradespeople. This, so they stated,
is quite different from the attitude of
many other towns towards the tourist
trade and Redwood Falls is getting
some highly favorable advertising
because of it.
The beauty of the park and the
peacefulness and attractiveness of the
tourist camp also excites much fav-
orable comment A Methodist min
lister, a resident of Iowa, recently
pronounced it the ~quietest and most
refined camp he had encountered in
all his many miles of touring through
the northwest, and stated that the
beauties of the Park were worth
travelling far to see. Another gentle
men who has recently travelled twelve
hundred miles in northern Minnesota
states that nowhere else did he find
so much concentrated natural beauty
with the possible exception of Man
itou Falls. He points out however, that
like the majority of tourist camps, the
local tenting spot leaves something
to be desired in the way of sanitation
and sewage disposal.
