Creel returned to Devils Lake

said he had received a great many
letters asking particulars about
the famous marriage qualification
bill he introduced in the last
session Of the legislature, among
them an inquiry from a London

German legislator. Many Of the
letters were from states, so ere

every decrepit man or woman to
get tangled up in matrimony to
the detriment Of future genera
tions and the greatest nation on
earth,' as the colonel expressed it.

The woman who is lovely in face
form and temper will always have
friends, but one who would be at
tractive must keep her health. If
she is weak, sickly and all run
down, she will be nervous and irri-

kidney trouble, her impure blood
will cause pimples, blotches, skin
eruptions and a wretched COM
plexion. Electric Bitters is the
best medicine in the world to regu-
late stomach, liver and kidneys
and to purify the blood. It gives
strong nerves, bright eyes, smooth,

liquor men that it was to train and
educate the young-but in a way
directly opposite to theirs.
