for long time she was very close to the bor

by two good physicians, who did all they
could for her, but in spite of everything she
grew worse right alang. One day saw an
advertisement of Or. Miles Nervine and

The Grange Helps Farmers to Keep
Ont of the Ruts.
The grange should be great help to
the man or woman who is trying to ex-
tend his or her horizon, and it is just
such people who leave their impress
upon the world. The people who do
not strive to broaden themselves get
into a rut. The world has little use
for these who stop growing. no matter
what their age may be. 1t is the fuller
life, the broader experience, the deeper
culture, which enrich civilization, and
these we get in our association togeth-
er. Every occupation is crowded with
men who have stopped growing, and
agriculture is no excepion-men who
have got into ruts and cannot get out
Such men do not benefit the world
much and are not missed when they
retire from active life. 1t is the men
who learn the secret of wise living
men who are broader than the bread
and butter question, that the world
wants, and the grange is striving to
make more such men.

Religion satisfies because it enriches
life. 1t opens the way into a new kind
of joy. 1t brings into play new
range OF activity. Thus Jesus said
that he came that we might have life
and that we might have it more abun-

pose of religion thus considered Is akin

to teach new truth, to awaken new

The mysterious popularity Of Judge
Parker of this state as prospective
presidential candidate is the visible
emblem of Democratic hopelessness
and dissension. An empty honor is to
be bestowed on a barren record. if not
an empty name. We have called him
the Democratic John Doe, and the
phrase Is good enough. How much the
party fears even to take up its old
shiboleth, free trade, Is evidenced by
the Chicago speech Of the astute Ed
ward NJ. Shepard. He decries "a gen

widespread popular belief in protec-

Prompt Action Necessary.

Several of the 500 officials and
the Standard Oil officials were in
this city Monday and decided to
transfer the oil tanks from the
Great Northern to d small lot
lust east of the 500 elevator. 1t
is the intention of the officials to
make this Il pe11nanentplace and
hayebarnserected near the tanks.
The 500 may think that they
are doing the right thing in this
matter, but they are putting the
tanks in just the wrong place.
They are to be right along the
railroad, where fire is easily
started, and the city is likely to
be burned up at any time should
one explode. The Great North
ern has offered to give the COM
pany a lot east of the mill, and
would be out OF the way. We
believe, as many OF the citizens
OF Minot, that the council should
take this matter up and restrain
the company from removing
those tanks to theproposed spot.
Minot is bound to grow and will
undoubtedly beextended east. In
the course Of a couple OF years,
the tanks would be located in
the center Of the city.
