QUESTION ANSWERED.

Yes, August Flower, still has the
largest sale of any medicine in the
civilized world. Your mothers and
grandmothers' never thought of using
anything else for indigestion and
biliousness. Doctors were scarce, and
they eeldom heard Of appendicitis,
nervous prostration of heart failure,
etc. They used August Flower to clean
out he system and stop fermentation of
undigested food, regulate the action of
the liver, stimulate the nervous and
organic action of the system. and that
is all they took when feeling dull and
bad with headaches and other aches.
Yon only need few doses of Green's
August Flower, in liquid form, to make
you satisfied there is nothing serious the
matter with yuu. Get Green's Prize

LAND OFFICE REVERSED.

A Volunteer Homesteader Who Enlisted in
the Army Counts His Term Of Service as
Residence on Valuable Claim.
A decisi IN of much importance to vol
unteer soldiers Of the late war, just made
by the commissioner of the general land
Office at Washington was received at
De ills Lake last week in the matter OF
the homestead of Nels Peterson. who
fled on homestead just prior to enlist.
ing for service in the Spanish war.
Peterson left the states and went to tue
Philippine Islands without making any
improvements on his land. He served in
the army about fifteen months and after
his return built small house on the land
then submitted communication ns proof
on the land, only living thereon two or
three days. The register and receiver
of the Grand Forks land Office rejected
his proof. Peterson, through his attor-
ney appealed the case to the commissioner
at Washington, who holds that the re-
gistar ard receiver erred in holdiag that
Petersons's time OF service in the army
should not be allowed az residence and
cultivation on the land for the same time
that he had served even though he h.d
no house on the land. Peterson was q
corporal of the First North Dakota reQi-
ment OF volunteers. His oil sim is located
near the northern boundary line of Ram
sey county, close by the new townsite at
the terminal point Of tho Ct. Northern's
new extension that is being built north
from Lakota this summer, and is Therefore
figured as being quite valuable property.

OUR LIVE STOCK.

The jamestown Alert wisely OBJ
serves that ''the feature Of North
Dakota's resources which ought to
be specially, and fully shown at
Buffalo is the area, the value and
cheapness Of our native grass.
The live stock interests are by far
the most important of our undevel-
oped resources. Nearly every acre
of good grass land in the Red
river valley is in cultivation. The
world knows all about the big
farms, and the value of each acre
ie such that it is already beyond
the very poor man looking for q
home. But there are hundreds of
thousands of acres that grow grass
grain and vegetables, which are
open to settlement. Meat will
always continue to be a worlds
staple. It is the twin food with
bread for civilized races.
The grass of our state is the
greatest natural inheritance we
have, and the most valuable.
The attention of the young
farmers who visit the Buffalo ex-
position should be called by prac-
tical illustrations, by lectures, by
printed matter to the profits in
growing stock in North Dakota
and to the ease with which a man
with small capital can get a start
on a ranch. The other products
of a ranch in the way of grains
and vegetable crops ought to be
fully displayed, also to show how
a living can be assured while the
stock is growing into marketable
animals. The state commissioners
should pay special attention to the
resources of the central and vest
ern parts of the state. They are
less known than the Dalrymple
farm, and generally undervalued.
The exclusive wheat land country
is we'll enough advertised as it is,
but the great stock region west of
the James river is yet but compar-
atlvely little known or it's wealth
producing possibilities.
