No More
Hemorrhoids
All Pile Agony Ended without Cut
ting or Salves.

If you think a surgical operation is
the only way to get rid of Piles, it's
because you haven't heard of the harm
less internal medicine discovered by a
prominent western physician.
After years of study, DR.. J. S. Leon
hardt found the cause of Piles to be
internal-congestion of blood in the
lower bowel-the hemorrhoidal veins
flabby; the bowel walls weak; the
parts almost dead. Right away the
doctor set to work to find a real in
ternal remedy. He succeeded, and aft
er prescribing it for 1000 patients, with
success in over 900 cases, he named his
prescription HEM ROID.
The doctor wants every Pile suf-
ferer to benefit by his discovery, and
so there will be no doubling or delay
Hooks Dependable Drug Stores and
druggists everywhere are authorized to
sell HEM ROID with guarantee of
money back if it does not end Piles in
any form.
SO why waste time on external treat
ments or think of an operation when
HEM ROID tablets are guaranteed

Son Crieved Over Death
Of Mother, Takes Life
Goodbye Until We Meet in
Heaven" Scrawled On
Paper on Lamp

Grief over the death of his mother
several weeks ago, prompted Roland
Willard, 17-year-old-youth who lives
six miles south of Sanborn to shoot
himself with shotgun in his bed
room recently.
A note which heard, Goodbye until
we meet in Heaven" assured au-
thorities that it was plain suicide and
no inquest was held. The boy was a
son of A. L. Willard.
Roland's mother died six weeks ago
and ever since that the boy had been
depressed and melancholy. He came
to the house about II a. m. Monday of
last week and for little time he
played with his little sister. He then
went upstairs to his room, a habit
that he had acquired since his moth
er's death.
In the meantime, A. G. Groves, the
boys grandfather prepared the noon
meal. When the boy failed to appear
at the table they finally went upstairs
to find him. They found his body
lying on the floor. Over on the lamp
on the dresser was the scrap of paper
on which he had scrawled the note.
Brown County Coroner j. H. Dud-
ley was called at once. Mr.. Groves
said that they had not heard the shot
and recognized it as such, but he
might have heard it and thought it
horse kicking in the barn, or some
other sound common to farm life.

TOURIST BUSINESS
DECLINE IN STATE
ABOUT Is PER CENT
Million Tourists Visited Mime
sofa Despite Depression,
Report Shows

DESPITE nation wide depression
nearly a million tourists visited MIN
nesota during 1882 and spent $751;
785,75O according to H. c. Hotallng
secretary of the Ten Thousand Lakes
Greater Minnesota association.
The number of tourists estimated
by Mr.. Hotaling for the year is 1884,
759.
The report shows that the tourist
business throughout Minnesota this
year declined about 33 per cent as
compared with 1881. The greatest
loss was sustained by tourist camps,
the decrease at resorts being only ~
per cent. The report of the Minneso-
ia Highway department shows that
at the time the traffic census was
taken in August there were appro-
ximately "a per cent less foreign cars
than year ago.
Statistics submitted by Mr.. Hotal-
ing also show that despite the de-
preston many farms were transfer
red in Minnesota during 1882, From
realtors, bankers and registers OF
deeds came reports of 1885 farms be-
ing sold. These farms represented
an area of approximately 217,o5o
acres. Last year 2,512 sales includ-
ed 264,873 acres were reported to the
association. These reports do not in
clude all the farm sales in Mime
sofa, but give basis for comparison
between the two years which would
indicate that the number of farms
sold during 1882 dropped 27 per cent
as compared with 1881 while the
amount of acreage sold dropped IL
per cent.
AS the result of the associations
advertising campaign 14,672 inquiries
were received through the mails from
all lands asking for information con-
corning M;nnesota's vacation advan-
tages. The farm advertising cam
paign brought inquiries from 4,725
persons who were DESTROYS of secur-
ING farm homes in Minnesota.
Mr.. Hotaling's report shows that
there are now 1872 resorts in the
state as compared with 600 in 1926.
The present values of these resorts
according to survey conducted by
the association and the Minnesota
Hotel Inspection department is $780,
4O9,472 1t is estimated that the re-
sorts of Minnesota employ about
$4,000 persons during the summer.
In addition many are employed IN
business places in the resort sections
to take care of the tourist trade.
