CLAIMS FORTUNE FROM FRANCE
North Dakota Citizen Seeks to Re
cover Forty Million
Francs.

BARLOW, N. D., Jan. Hole Baade
Tausen, manager Of an elevator here, is a
claimant for 40, 900, 900 francs from the
French government, as the chief heir of
General La Lande. a Norwegian, who emil
grated to France in 1920 and served as
general in the French army in Algeria in
1881. He died in France, leaving a large
fortune to be cared for by the state for
forty years and then to be turned over to
his heirs in Norway.
In 1871, when the estate should have
been turned over, France was in the throes
of the franco Prussian war and It is sup
posed the money was used In paying the
war indemnity. The heirs in Norway have
spent much money trying to secure a set
Element, but in vain.
MIR. Tausen has enlisted the aid OF United
States Senator Knute Nelson, himself Of
Norwegian birth, and a former neighbor,
and also OF Senator Hansbrough. They
have promised to have the State depart
ment make inquiry of the French govern
ment as to the claim, and to push it IL we'll

BIGGEST GUN PROVES SUCCESS
Three shots Fired from Monster
Cannon All Prove Estimates
Accurate.

NEW YORK, Jan. 17.-The most power
full gun ever built in America, a huge six
teen-inch coast defense rife, was success
fully tested at the government proving
ground, Sandy Hook, today. The gun was
fired three times in the presence of sew
eral hundred army officers, a few civilians
and one representative of the legislative
branch Of the government, Congressman
Gillette Of Massachusetts,.
Among the officers present we're Gen
eral Chaffee, who was received with a
salute, as commander of the department Of
the east; General Crozier, chief of ord
nance; Colonel Greenough, Major Pratt,
General Burlington. retired; Colonel Thomas
H. Parry, Colonel G. p. Parry, Colonel T.
]. Mansfield of the Army Board of Engi-
neers, and Colonel Farley of the ordnance
department. who superintendent the con-
struction of the gun at Waterville, L. l.,
arsenal.
The three tests were marked by the
wonderful accuracy with which they full
filled the mathematical calculations of the
army experts who had charge of the con-
struction. The three shots also proved
tina the special smokeless powder, madl
for sixteen-inch guns had been accurately
prepared.
aAS AAek JAW V1o - sCA VI V1A AAASAH
The charge was 800 pounds Of smokeless
powder. and the velocity of the ~2,4OO-pound
projectile when 1t left the muzzle was
2,003 feet a second. The pressure in ex~
ploding was 25 1000 pounds to the square
inch. For the second shot the full charge
Of $40 pounds was used and the velocity
was 1905, or six feet more than calculated.
The pressure was 5000 pounds to the
square inch. The elevation Of the muzzle
for the first and second shots was ~ de,
grees and the ranges were 5000 and $500
yards.
For the final shot the muzzle was ele,
waited to Az degrees, increasing the range
to 1000 yards. The velocity of this sho,
was not taken. The charge was $40 pounds
OF smokeless powder and the pressure was
$500 pounds to the square inch. All the
shots recocheted two or three times on
the water. sending up great fountains OF
spray.
General Crozier said that the tests showed
that the gun was an absolute success and
proved that sixteen-inch guns could be
furnished whenever the country wanted
them. Congressman Gillette doubted tina
any more would be built, a number OF
smaller guns being considered more et,
fective than one big weapon.
General Crozier said while its range al
its highest elevation was about twenty
miles, 1t could be used to hit objects only
at a distance of four or FIVE miles, as OBJ
jeets further away could not be seen.

AN OBJECT s s
In a Restaurant.

A physician puts the query; Have you
never noticed in any large restaurant at
lunch or dinner time the large number OF
hearty, vigorous old men at the tables; men
whose ages run from GO to so years., many
Of them bald and all perhaps gray, but none
of them feeble or senile?
Perhaps the spectacle is so common as TO
have escaped your observation or comment,
but nevertheless it is an object lesson which
means something.
II you will notice what these hearty old
fellows are eating you will observe that they
are not munching bran crackers nor gingerly
picking their way through a menu card OF
new tangled health foods; on the contrary,
they seem to prefer a juicy roast OF beef, a
properly turned loin of mutton and even
the deadly broiled lobster is not altogether
ignored.
The point OF all this Is that a vigorous
old age depends upon good digestion aud
plenty of wholesome food and not upon
dieting and an endeavor I. live upon bran
crackers.
There is a certain class of food cranks
who seem to believe that meat, coffee and
many other good things are rank ~poisons,
but these cadavercus, sickly looking in
dividuals are a walking condemnation of
their own theories.
The matter In a nutshell is that II the
stomach secretes the natural digestive
juices in sufficient quantity any wholesome
food will be promptly digested; II the
stomach does not do so, and certain foods
cause distress, one or two of Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets after each meal will re-
move all difficulty because they supply Just
what every weak stomach lacks, pepsin,
hydro-chloric acid, diastase and nux.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets do not act
upon the bowels and in fact are not strictly
a medicine, as they act almost entirely
upon the food eaten, digesting IT thoroughly
and thus gives a much needed rest and
giving an appetite for the next meal.
OF people who travel nine out OF ten use
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets, knowing them
to be perfectly safe to use at any time and
also having found out by experience that
they are a safeguard against indigestion in
any form, and, eating as they have to at
all hours and all kinds of food, the travel
ing public for years have pinned their
faith to Stuart's Tablets.
All druggists sell them at so cents for
full sized packages and any druggist from
Maine to California, II his opinion were
asked, will say that Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets is the most popular and successful
remedy for any stomach trouble.

VALUE OF TESTIMONY

There is none of us so hardened but that
when we have been able to aid our fellow
creatures by comforting a benefit OF bring
ing n little comfort into their lives we like
to have appreciation shown. This generally
affords more pleasure than the performance
Of the act itself, and in this connection tho
following letter from a Texas lady is OF
moro than usual interest:
'Dear Friends: l address you as such.
for you have been such to me. l suffered
for three years of and on with piles. l was
treated at the hospital, and the new and
elegant hospital OF Memphis; they only
gave me temporary relief. l came west
thinking the change of air and water would
bench me; i've months ago the bleeding
piles came back on me and bled so much
that l thought l would die.
II have had four Of the finest doctors in
his section OF Texas; all they did
was TO finally nearly let me go to my grave
all they wanted was e big sum Of money
from me and to operate on me. l said no,
no surgeons knife would enter me; II II
was my time to die God knew II, and when
] died l would die all together.
II began hearing about your medicine.

Testimony like this (foT the genuineness

The grounds upon which it is sought to
set aside the will are that the amount of
the bequest will increase the college prop
erty to a larger amount than is allowed by
law, that it seeks to create a trust which
is invalid and void because it does not

our employees suspended work, not by rea-
