hair whitened prematurely by a great
shock.

nothing better for Il severe cold than

as directed. Extreme IA should he
taken to keep the feet dry and warm,
the body well clothed and to avoid
exposure, especially when recovering
from the disease, and to keep up the

The surface is more undulating, be.

hills and broad valleys, with conical,
tlat.topped and rounded buttes pres

by the Coteau range, and the climate
in other respects is different from
that of eastern North Dakota. The
streams are open first to the north
and west, and the season begins at
Bismarck and Mandan Il little earlier
than in the same latitude east of the
James river. There is generally a
certain prospect for corn, which has
time to mature. In the West North

of German-American colonies, which
have proved thrifty and prosperous.
