It I-** as. Minneapolis has been the scene of numerous pioneer gatherings and dinners in the past, but the Northern Pacific pioneers' dinner to be held at the Minneapolis club tonight will be uniqne in the list of such affairs. The dinner was to have held at the West hotel, but on account of the fire will be held at the Minneapolis club. The men who will gather about the board are men to whom the entire northwest and even the entire United States has reason to be grateful. They are all men. who in the vigor and prime of youth and middle age went out to conquer the vast free west, the great est source of the country's wealth to day. Thee pioneers were most of them young men thirty-three years ago, when they participated in the building of the Northern Pacific railway from tho twin cities west into the almost unknown, undeveloped west. Civil ization and capital followed them and led to the complete development of a new empire in the northwest. These men who opened the rich granary to the world are still leaders. A few who were active in those busy days have passed away, but they all left a record of accomplishments. They have ever been workers and leaders.

Among the men who will be present tonight are those who have been lead ers in every line of business and are still in the front rank as captains of the commercial world. About fifty in vitations have been sent out to all parts of the United States. About hirijy-drve^ of these have been able- to lecypt and will be present* It is keen regretted by those most active in the work that G-eneral T. li. Rosser, the soldier pioneer who led the con struction work, cannot be present. He 'is helpless from a paralytic stroke at his home in Charlottesville, Va. The arrangements for the dinner have been made by George A. Brack. ett, M, C. Kimberly, F. G-. Winston, H. E. Stevens, E. T. Winston, J. M. Hannaford and O. C. Greene. Four members of the committee are still officials of the Northern Pacific and have been identified with the road from its beginning. They are J. M. Hannaford, vice president M. C. Kim berly, assistant general manager O. C. Greene, superintendent of telegraph and N. P. Martin, auditor at Seattle. The affair will be entirely informal, beginning at 6 o'clock. The commit tee has been working constantly on arrangements in the limited time al lowed since the project was started, but everything is complete. Those who are unable to be present will be heard from by letter or telegram. The Invited Guests.

You'll wonder, perhaps, why Scott's Emulsion costs more than some other kind in as large ^a bottle. Hearing only on* side of l&e question you may be led into buying the just as good as Scott's" at the lower price. That's false economy. Scott's Emulsion costs more because its more 'expensive to make. Every /ingredient is tested andguar anteed of the purest quality. No adulteration, no shaving of quality. There's no econ omy in bargain medicine. If iyou can afford to experiment [with your health, substitutes may satisfy you. We take it, however, that you want a "jupure preparation, a reliable "remedy and something that's & Agoing to help you. That's *||what you get in Scott's tff Emulsion. Thirty years the ^standard.

WHY NOT? Because the continual drinking in the past has weakened the nerve cells of the Human system until tho crav ing for drink has fastened itself so strongly that temptation cannot be resisted. This is far too practical ___ an age for "faith cure" fal lacies. It will not now be contended by many sane per sons that organic diseases can? be cured by mental processes. The medical profession has long since recognized the fal lacy of attempting to cure a drinking man of his intem perate habits by moral sua sion. Drunkenness is a dis ease and no disease is more common and so seldom rec ognized. A victim of the drink habit can no more re sist liquor than a man with ague can resist shivering. m***m**0+*mmmi0*m m*0*0mm**m0mmm0mi**0*im**m The Magic Modem Surgefyl? by Dr. Qeorge.F.
