A rH,RTY.DAY DRouTH.

North Dakota Seems to Sc in for 1t
Under the Provisions Of the Shieis
Bill.
it has lust been discovered that pc
cuiar condition of affairs will exist
eHccting the druggists OF the state IN
connection with the Shiels bill passed
at the last session of the legislature.
The law goes into effect July 1. All
permits to sell liquor must be renewed
at that tine. The applications for re-
newal cannot be made before that
date. and the law provides that pub
lshed notice of thirty days must pre-
cede the hearing before the county
court before the application can be
acted upon.
This will leave the druggists fol
thirty days without authority to sell
drop of liquor for any purpose what
ever. AS $50 reward is offered for
evidence that will convict druggist
OF a violation of the law. this state Will
without doubt be practically liquor
less for thirty days.
The peculiar situation has aroused
mEcn interest, but legal lights can DIS
cover no way around the difficulty.

Indians the TalIest People.

In comparative table of stature,
arranged according to nationalities,
the United States Indian stands higher
than any other race of the world,
though the Patagonian runs him very
close. The white citizen comes next.
The United States negro ranks four
teenth in the scale. and of all the
countries of the world considered the
Portuguese are found to be the short
est. 1t has always been proverbial
among anatomists that blonde nations
are greater than their darker neigh
bors. This is due TO the geological
positions of the blonde races. They
are characteristic of the North. and on
account of the lower degree of tenn
perature are induced to take more eX-
ercise, which throws them more in the
open air. At the top of the list Of

ALAsT RESORT.

Pure Food Should Be the First.
When the human machine goes
wrong it's ten to one that the trouble
began with the stomach and can
therefore be removed by the use of
proper food. A lady we'll known in
Bristol, Ontario county. N. Y. tells
of the experience she had curing her
only child by the use of scientific food:
"My little daughter, the only child and
for that .eason doubly dear, inherited
nervous dyspepsia. We tried all kinds
of remedies and soft foods. At FAST,
when patience was about exhausted
and the chjId's condition had grown so
bad the whole family was aroused, we
tried Grape-Nuts
ga friend recommended the food as
one which her own delicate children
had grown strong upon SO purchased
a box-as a last resort. In a very
short time a marked change in both
health and disposition was seen.
What made our case easy was that
she liked it at once and it's crisp,
putty flavor has made 1t an immediate
favorite with the most fastidious in
our family.
ats use seems to be thoroughly
established in western New York
where many friends use it regularly.
I have noticed its fine effects upon the
intellects as we'll as the bodies Of
those who use it. We owe 1t much"

A TANGLE IN BONDS
State Treasurer Mcmillan Will Not Honor the War;
rants of the Board of Public Lands for State
Institution Bonds Until Mandamused.

For several days there have been
rumors concerning the institutional
bonds authorized by the legislature
for the erection of buildings needed
for educational and other purposes.
Investigation shows that these reports
are based on fact, and the probability
is that the state treasurer will refuse
to take these bonds as an Investment
of the permanent school fund unless
the supreme court rules that he may
do so. State Treasurer Mcmillan holds
that if these bonds are state bonds
they are beyond the limit of indebted
ness authorized by the constitution,
and therefore not proper investment
of the permanent school fund, and if
they are not state bonds he has no au-
thority to take them under the con-
stitution, as that does not mention
such securities as one of the classes in
which these funds may be invested.
The state treasurer is out of the
state and the deputy has been instruct
ed not to take any of these bonds until
the courts have passed upon the ques-
tons raised. In support of his opin-
ion he has secured the opinion of some
of the best attorneys in the state. 1t
is held that no action Of the board of
university and school lands will re.
lease him from his liability under his
bond for the proper care of the COM
mon school funds, neither will an opin-
ion from the attorney general be of
avail. He regrets to raise the ques-
ton. as most if not all of this money is
needed for buildings imperatively
called for, and this may hinder their
construction, but some of these bonds
can undoubtedly be disposed of to
other parties, especially if they are de-
clared to be institutional bonds.
Section 1872 Of the constitution pre-
scribes that the debt of the state shall
not exceed 100000, besides the in
debtedness at the time of the adoption
of the constitution. The report of the
state treasurer of June 80, 1902.
showed bonded debt of $6l6,3OO, in ad-
dition to the 100000 of bonds funding
the territorial debt, making total of
$722,3OO of bonded debt, part of
which may be classed as institutional
debt, is such classification is allowa-
BILE. The total of bonds provided for
by the late legislature reaches 1851,
900.
Section 1862 of the constitution pre-
scribes that "the moneys of the per-
manent school fund and other educa-
tional funds NAV he invested Only in
bonds of school corporations within
the state, bonds of the United States,
bonds of the State of North Dakota, or
in first mortgages on farm lands in the
state"
Section 1G5 provides that any unlaw-
full transfer of these funds shall con
stitute embezzlement.
1t is under these sections that the
treasurer has concluded to hold up

A Tioht Squeeze.

Brazils. Ark. May 11th.-To be
snatched from the very brink of tf1s
grave is somewhat thrilling ex-
perience and one which Mrs. M. O.
Carrot of this place has Just passed
through.
Mrs. Garrett suffered with a Cere-
oro-Spinal affection, and had been
treated by the best physicians, but
without the slightest Improvement.
For the last twelve months two
doctors We're in constant attendance,
but sne could only grow worse and
worse, till she could not walk. and
did not have any power to move at
all.
She was so low that for the greater
part of the time she was perfectly
unconscious of what was going on
about her. and her heart-brollen hus-
pecting her death.
The doctors had given up all hope
and no one thought She could pos
sibly live.
In this extremity Mr. Garrett sent
for a box of Dodd's Kidney Pills. 1t
was 4 last hope, but happily it did not
fail.
Mrs. Garrett used in all six boxes of
the remedy and is completely cured.
She says:
81 am doing my own work now and
feel as we'll as ever l did. Dodd's
kidney Pills certainly saved me IRON
Ceath."
