(By Mail).The Portuguese committee tor the Olym pic games is working hard so that this country will be well represented at Antwerp. Among others, the shooting team is enthusiastically training, On ac count of the severe control which is made, it is certain that the team se lected out of all the candidates will be constituted by the moat excellent men Portugal now has. There will be six tests before the final selection. .After the first test, there will be twenty shooters taken in, this number being reduced after each of the five tests, to keep seven who will form the team. In the provinces, the shooters are training hard,' too, and some results already known are satisfactory. It is very likely that the team for Ant werp will include mni of Lisbon and Mafra. The various tests are for rifle and pistol shooting. It seems that the men chosen for rifle shooting will also be taken for pistol shooting, Judging from the results obtained so far. HEROES OF'60 OUT WITH FACTS Want Public to .Know How Much Good Tanlac Has Done at Old Sol- So many of the old"Veta" out at the Soldiers' Home in Leavenworth hayte been benefited Tanlac lately. Onvfctna is Watchful WaUU$ theyNdlecided thbyfact ought to oe made public. The call for volunteers to report the matter was quickly answered by J. F. Johnson and H. Ostrander, each seventy-four years of age, and David M. Cain, who is now in his eightieth year. Their statements, which, were re ceived at the Tanlac offices a few days ago, all seem to have been signed with a steady hand and tell in no results these old heroes of the "sixties" have obtained from the Master Medicine. David MWard Cain, corporal, pany "L,,h ofofcom- 1 the older the trio) says: "I have lived a long time and have had lots of experience with medicines, but I have never come across the equal of Tanlac. It has not only rid me of a case of nervous in digestion' of eight years 'standing, but I have, actually gained Sixteen pounds in weight by taking it. Be fore taking Tanlac I had no appetite and what little I did eat would sour on my stomach and I would swell uj with gas until I could hardly breathe.1. My heart would palpitate at a'terri-Si* ble rate and I also had raging head-/ aches,jand often got so disay I coutfd' scarcely stand on my feet. I had pains .all through my body and was so weak jt: was difficult for me tofi get around at all. "But Tanlac has done away with all my miserable feelings and put me in better shape than I have been for eight or. ten years. I can ,eat just anything I want and my appetite is a caution. And sleep, why, I just sleep like a log every night, feel good and strong, and have more energy than I have had in years. I have recommended Tanlac to many of my comrades, who have also taken it with fine results. It certainly is the right medicine for old folks." "At the time I began taking Tan- lac," said. J. F. Johnson, "I couldnt eat or slee.p to~do much good and just felt miserable all the time. I suffered from indigestion, dizziness, pains* in my back, and about alL my strength had left me. I had just about come. to the conclusion that I would never be well again, but I am now in better physical shape than I have been for a long time. In fact, I don't think I ever felt much better, even when I was a young man, than I do-since taking Tanlac." C. H. Ostrander says: "I believe I hau about all the miserable feelings anybody with indigestion can have, and I was so weak and nervous 1 could hardly drag around. I had been battling with this condition for three years and was ready to give up the fight. But by the help of Tanlac I am now feeling fine. I'd like te tell all the soldiers every where how Tanlac is helping us here in Leavenworth." Tanlac is sold in Bemidji by City Drug Store and by the leading drug gists in every town. ~5.V THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER How Wit Helps Legislation. It is sometimes said that a reputa tion tor wit is fatal to a serious leg islative career.' But the statement is not altogether true, for more than once a bit of wit has prevented legis lative /oily. It IS a "tradition in Philadelphia that during the constitutional conven tion it was proposed to incorporate In the Constitution a provision that the United 'States army should never ex ceed. ,3$*? ,ihen. According to, the tradition the debate, which Was pos sibly informal and outside the regu lar sitting, was abruptly cut Short when Benjamin Franklin solemnly suggested that there be incorporated another clause making it part of the organic law of the land thafc no for eign nation should ever invade the country with an army of more than 3,000. A somewhat similar point was scored In the state legislature a few years ago when, during a discussion hot over well based, it was, proposed by a shrewd Yankee from the hills of Sunderland, P. L. Whitmore, that law should be enacted providing that no one should be obliged to work be tween meals.Springfield (Mass.) Re publican. Imitation Pearls.

Weighing lee at Home. A dcJse iestimate of the weight of Ice can be reached by multiplying to gether the length breadth and' thick ness of the block in Inches, and divid ing the product by 30. This will be very closely the weight In pound*. Thus, if a block is 10 by 10 by 9, the product is 900 and this divided by 30 gives, 30 pounds, as correct weight. A block 10 by 10 by 6 weighs 20 pounds*. This simple method can be easily ap plied, and It may serve to remove un just suspicions, or to detect short weight. iniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiHiiiinHiiiiiiiiMiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiim Occasionally a maker of one or more of these products de cides that other folks would enjoy the merits of his goods, if they could hear of them.
