Remarkable Rescue.

Mrs. Michael Curtain, Plain6eld,
ILL.,, makes the statement, that she
caught cold, which settled on her
lungs; she was treated for a month
by her family physician, but grew
worse. He told her she was q
hopeless victim of consumption
and that no medicine could cure
her. Her druggist suggested DR..

sumption; she bought a bottle and

benefited from first dose. She

leads us to hope that the day may
yet dawn when the Interpolation,
which now broods over our town
like an incubus, will be lifted and
Devils Lake will take her place
beside the cleanest, most law-abid-
ing town in the state. No town in
the state can boast of more WIDE
awake, progressive, and liberal
business men and citizens than we
possess, and because of this and in
spite of the lawlessness of the rum
element, our town is progressing,
but not as she ought to progress.
and would progress were condi-
tions different. No town in the
state can compare with Fargo in
the phenomenal growth which she
is now making. One of her chief
boasts is that she has not a saloon,
not a blind pig, not a drugstore(?)
within her precincts. People are
attracted by their afinities. The
kind of citizens attracted to a town
depends upon the kind of induce
ments it holds forth. The better
class of our citizens know this and
would hail improvement, but the
tendency is to conclude that they
are in the minority and struggles
are useless. Persistence counts,
not numbers, and we can at least,
as individuals and collectively en-
courage every effort which tends
towards the betterment of our town
and we can frown upon all acts
which injure the prosperity of ou1
town by detracting from her good
name. This is patriotism-true
patriotism.

5th was a success and proved q
great benefit to all Epworthions
present. The chapters united were
viz: Cando, Churchs Ferry,
Devils Lake, Leeds, Maza, Rolla

present from all with the exception
of Rolla and Willow City. After
the transaction Of the business

mention a paper given by Mrs.

also a paper. by Mrs. Garry, of
Leeds, upon The Preparation of

were thoughtfully prepared and
were followed by discussions.

HEALTH MATTERS.
State Board of Health Takes Action
with Reference to Matters of
Public Health.

Bismarck Tribune.
The state board of health, Attor-
nsy General Cowan, president. DR..
Musgrove of Grafton, vice presi-
dent, and DR.. Quarry of Grand
Forks, superintendent, has been in
session at the capitol for several
days and will take action with re-
ference to matters of public inter-
est and Importance. DR.. Quarry,
the new superintendent, is earnest
in his desire for such action as
will result in the best conditions
possible in the state, and his
energy with the active co-opera-
ton Of the other members of the
board, promises to result to the
material good of the state in mat
tiers of health.
The last legislature enacted a
vital statistics law, and the mem
beers of the board have prepared
and will take steps to put the law
in operation. The coming of the
census, and the operation of the
new law, the board hopes to make
of material advantage to the state.
The state board will also promul-
gate rules and regulations, with
reference to the transportation of
bodies, and will adopt the laws
now in force in the northwestern
and central states. The board
will also require examination Of
undertakes, embalmers and
funeral directors as is being done
in advanced states, and will pro.
badly call for examination in Sep.
tember of this year, at several
cities in the state, in order that all
engaged in the business may have
an opportunity to prepare them.
selves.
The board will also promulgate
a statement with reference to con.
tagious diseases, having especial
reference to d%iphtheria, smallpox
and scarlet fever, and will probably
take steps looking othe vaccination
of children.

patronage of the local borrowers

First, it is a home institution,

Second, every other association,
operating in this state, compels
every investor who wishes to with

loan at any time he can raise the
money and will be given credit for
the full cash value of his stock.
Third, the Fargo Loan associa-
ton charges a fiat rate of over
fourteen per cent. per annum, while
the average for the Devils Lake
Building and Loan association for
the past three years has been
twelve per cent. per annum.
Fourth, when you invest in the
stock Of a foreign Building and

What We Should Read.

MI. EDITOR: It is q significant
fact that no matter how good a
literary entertainment is prepared
in our town, unless there is dane
ing or q pie-counter attachment,
the majority of our people stay at
home-in other words, our people
can be appealed to through their
HEELS, they can be reached through
their sToMAoHs, but an attempt to
"get next" to them through their
MINDS is invariably more or less of
q failure. Some will say: ooh,
we are all crude out here! That
is true; and "pity it's, it's true"
But how came we 80? We all lived
in the east before coming here.
Were we crude there and simply
brought along our crudness with
our Lares and Penates? Or have
we become SO through dominating
influences since coming here? II
the latter, there is still hope for us.
We heartily endorse the resolution
of the XIXth Century club to
start the nucleus of a library here.
We believe they will not take il
amiss if we venture to express the
hope that they will not invest in
any books which have not an
established reputation for worth

number on the program was
good-so the audience declared.
The music left nothing to be de-
sired. We wish to thank Miss
Prindeville, the male qnartette
and the orchestra whose music
added 30 much to the occasion.
It is a pity that, instead of being
obliged to send to eastern cities
for musical talent, we could not
secure our own musical talent for
the Chautauqua. We thank the
judges who so satisfactorily per-
formed their part and the Rev. Mr..
Turner who SO charmingly pre-
sented the medal to Number Three.
Number Three was the ladies plat
form designation. In everyday
life, she is known as Mrs. Goozee.
She will compete at the district
convention, for a gold medal, and
we predict that she will bring it
home with her,
We also wish to acknowledge
our obligations to the editors of
the Free Press and of the Inter
Ocean. The knowledge that these
editors are willing to "lend a hand

Husbands For All His Girls
Uncle Sam Has a Million and a Half
More Nephews Than Nieces.

"The number of male infants born
yearly exceeds that Of female by
one to four per cent, the proportion
varying slightly from year to year."
writes Professor D. r. McAnally of
"The American Girls Chances of
of Marriage" in the March Ladies'
Home Journal. "The mishaps Of
boyhood, however, reduce the num-
ber of boys to some extent, but not
so much as to make the adult
females outnumber the males. For
every American woman, therefore,
there ought to be husband in
posse If not in esse, and the fact
that there is H large percentage of
unmarried adult women in the
country, and greater proportion.
ate number in some sections than
in others, is attributable to causes
which have disturbed the balance
ofpopulation. En- all new countries
and compared with Europe the
United States is a new country
there is larger proportion of males
than of females. The aggregate
population of the United States, 80
far as the latest official figures
show is 62,622.25O, of which S2,O67,-
$50 are males and 3O,554,37O are
females. Thus the preponderance
of males over females would seem
to make it comparatively easy for
the American girl to secure a hus-
band, but in certain sections this is
evidently not the case, else the
proportion of adult unmarried
women would not be so large. If
men would remain in the neigh
borhoods where they we've born the
proportion of men and women
would be nearly equal all over the
country, but men find work hard
to get in the older and more popu-
lous communities, and go to the
newer States. The young women
are left behind. and the young men,
after settling in their new homes,
forget the companions of their
youth, and contract alliances
among their new friends in the
West, hence some of the Eastern
States show surplus of females"
