articles taken in said robbery may
be found where we hid them, and
also the n ames of witnesses wholive
in that vicinity, who will testify
that my self and gang were in that

The fact that these men are in

make this confession. While you

is little red in the blood.
The red in the blood is
the oxygen-carrier. Better to
breath with half Of one lung
than not have enough red in
the blood.
The blood is full Of digested
food; but it can't build muscle
and nerve and bone without
oxygen.
SCOTS emulsion of cod-liver
oil puts red in the blood: the
oxygen-carrier. It's like build
ing a railroad into a famine
stricken country.
Well send you little to try, il you like.

looks forward toward something;
philosophers in the history of all
ages have tried to solve it, some
have figured out future destiny
shrouded in mystery, while others
have ignored any future whatever.

trying to solve the problem now to
live and have happiness, the man
Of wealth is striving to obtain
greater wealth, the working man

that his family may have more

Peacock. His Opponent. Leaves Tor
More ConEenial Chimes.
William Sandy has made good his
allegation in the district court al
Jamestown that by a conspiracy he
was compelled to pay a judgment OF
s1,70O to. Richard Peacock. Two years
ago Peacock started suit against
Sandy, who is Wimbledon collector
for damages for alleged injuries in
f1icted on his person. After the trla
Sandy did some talking. This talk
reached the ears of Peacock, who
year ago started suit for $4,000, alleging
that Sandy's talk had a bad effect on
his standing in the community.
Peacock's complaint was answered
by Sandy, who admitted he said there
was a conspiracy, that Peacock's wit
nesses swore falsely and that the tes-
timony was fixed up" Further. he
put in a counter claim for $4,000 fol
damages sustained to his business and
reputation by reason of the suit.
When the suit came on for trial Pea
cock was missing, having quietly left
North Dakota for Alberta, Canada,
where he will make his residence
Sandy had an array Of witnesses, how
ever, and succeeded in securing judg-
ment. The judgment is worthless, but
the collector is satisfied, as he has been
indicated.

GREAT HELP TO FARMERS.
Creameries an Important Industl
in North Dakota.

Creameries an Important Industry
i'm North Dakota.
Creameries are becoming an import'
ant addition to the wealth of the farm
ers of North Dakota. In Morton county
a creamery that has been in operation
for several years pays out to the farm
ers in the vicinity $1,500 to $1,700 a
month for milk. This is q valuable ad.
dition to the incomes of the farmers
especially at time when there has
been partial crop failure. The state
department of agriculture is making
an effort to- engage the attention of
communities in the matter of creamer-
les and attention is called to the fact
that thousands Of dollars worth Of
butter is annually shipped into the
state, while the reigning price of good
butter during the winter season is 30
cents a pound and the supply is made
quate to the demand. at that figure.
One creamery west of the Missouri
river ships butter as far east as Chi
cago and obtains the highest market
price,. Notwithstanding the abundance
of grass and feed in this state the
dairy industry is to a great extent neg
lected.

Experts Report on Work in the In.
sane Hospitals.

The state commission appointed to
investigate and report on the condition
of the state asylurns and hospitals for
the insane is heartily in favor Of the
plan now being pursued in the new in
situations at Anoka and Hastings. In
a report submitted to the governor and
signed by DR.. c. E. Riggs and DR.. W..
F. Milligan, especial mention is made
of the benefits received by patients in
smaller Institutions, with especially IA
vorable comment on the work of DR..
Carmichael at Hastings and DR.. Cole
man at Anoka.
The report states that patients in
smaller hospitals come in personal con-
tact with their superintendent, are less
crowded, have more open-air exercise
and better environment, all of which is
advanta geous.
Recommendations made are that the
nurses and other attending patients be
quartered in separate cottages; that
isolated wards or cottages be. furnished
for contagious diseases, and for the es-
tablishment of colony for epileptics.
Special care of insane criminals is pro-
posed. Employment for all insane pa
tients is strongly advocated. Attention
is also called to the need of a patholo-
gist and a pathological laboratory at
the state university.

For some years there have been eff.

Mrs. Thompson of Jamestown; secre-
tary, e. j. Moore of Fargo; treasurer,
Mrs. Anna McNeely of Fargo. A con-
stitution was adopted and another

rotary; Seth, Wright, treasurer. The
capital stock was placed at 100000 and
$4,000 Of that. was taken by men in

the former owners and manufactured
the machines in Crookston. Secretary
Welton appreciated the advantage OF
the enterprise and interested himself
in the transfer to Fargo. The old Mil
