= Among the more important meas

the holding of elections biennially in
stead of yearly; for establishing a
state constabulary to enforce the pro-

equal suffrage amendment to the con-
stitution; for establishing an insurance
department, and for requiring all
couples to produce a physicians certi-
ficate as to their fitness before obtain
ing a license to marry.
The latter is unquestionably the
most radical innovation proposed by
the members Of the legislature. 1t is
fathered by the Iowa Society for the
Suppression Of Degeneracy and is
known as ''Bayer's Amendment to the
Marriage Laws of Iowa.
The bill, as drafted, requires that
the prospective bride and groom pre-
sent themselves to a physician of re-
pute, who shall examine into their
moral and physical fitness for matri-
mony and instruct them carefully. Its
promoters have issued a pamphlet in
which the necessity Of the reform is
set forth. 1t is contended that the in
creasing number Of degenerates is due
to causes that could be avoided by in
struction of young couples.

MANDAN, N. D.-The stockmen of
this region are exercised over the
prevalence of scab in some punches
of cattle. Efforts are being made to
have the governor oppoint inspectors
whose duty 1t will be to make per-

the state, and where animals are
found suffering with this disease, ar
range to have it treated and -eradi-
Gated. The disease is: easy to- COM

Irrigation measures are still being
discussed. John Fisher and brother
Of Stark county come out with a let
ter to the secretary of. the irrigation
congress, asserting that experience
has convinced them beyond all ques-
tion that it is a money-making bust
ness to use Ignite coal for pumping
water on land for irrigation purposes
west of the Missouri river. This firm
has used an engine for this purpose
for years.
Business men in Mandan report
that business has not been as good as
it was last year, but except for last
year, which was a record breaker. it
is away ahead of any previous season.

An Eternal Bore
How to Get Rid of Him.

We most Of us know him. It's not
possible to be in his neighborhood for
any length Of time and not hear about
it. He forces 1T on you. He tells you
how he feels He insists on letting
you know all his symptoms, his fail
ures and his hopes He has become a
by-word, q terror, a nightmare to his
friends-one to be stunned and
avoided more than sympathized with.
The dyspeptic is always with us
and amongst us, and the worst fea-
ture of it all is that he is becoming
more frequent, more numerous and
the necessity for his suppression is
becoming stronger
When everything is said and donep
there is no excuse for the existence Of
the dyspeptic. He can be cured and
he owes it to his friends, relatives and
acquaintances to be cured. What's
more. he can cure himself and he can
have no good excuse under the canopy
for not being cured.
Dyspepsia Is simply a diseased con-
dition of the lining of the stomach
which, from number of causes, be-
come sore, infiamed and irritated. I'm

inside of steam boilers which hardens
and corrodes the iron, and unless re-
moved soon, brings the boiler to a
