The Stomach Is the Man.

A weak stomach weakens the man,
because it cannot transform the food
he eats into nourishment. Health
and strength cannot be restored to
any sick man or weak woman without
first restoring health and strength to
the stomach. A weak stomach can
not digest enough food to feed the
tissues and revive the tired and run
down limbs and organs of the body.

A PROrHSING

One of the interesting things
about the Elkins law is that it
seems to please the railways as
we'll as the public, is the COM
ment of the Minneapolis Jour
nal. The railways are fastening
to comply with it's provisions
as rapidly as if it were a sub
sidy grant. They are with
drawing pa e s and other
inducements to shippers, and
are applying the published rate
to all shipments.
The logic of the situation
suggests no reason why rail
roads should not favor the
postage stamp rate, as Judge
Grosscup calls it. It certainly
means more revenue for the
railways and vastly less annoy
ance and difficulty in getting
it. Special rates and rebates
tend to reduce business and
also to make the railways the
easy prey of big shippers. The
handicap of rate discrimination
tends to drive the small and
unfavored producer and shipper
out of the business and to
cause the transfer of his share
of production to the larger
producer and shipper. But one
large business house with as
many orders as the ten small
houses it succeeds will not
create so much business for
the railways as the ten. The
consolidated company, having
a monopoly of the goods offered
for transport a tt o n in that
particular line, is in a strong
position to insist upon rates for
itself reduced to the verge Of
unproftableness for the rail
way company.
So obvious is it that the
of the railway com
oano lie with the many rather
than the few shippers that we
must conclude that nothing
out the fierce competition of
he past could have created the
rebate practice. which eventual
Ly became SO firmly established
hat it has even been engrafted
onto the big noncompetitive
.ailway combinations of the
present.
In view of the immense
powers given to the courts by
he Elkins law to root out
rebates, together with the
willingness of most railway
managers to comply with it,
he prospect is really hopeful
sor the coming of day when
all shippers will be free and
equal before the transportation
companies.

fairer sex, and after they are wed the
known to us and pay us with the root
of all evil for doing their counting and
wooing.
No wonder these men are oil bach
elors. When men degenerate to such
an extent that they are willing to do
their counting and wooing by proxy.
or through the medium of a cold ad-
vertisement inserted in a newspaper,
they are not worthy of a second
thought from any se~lf-respected
maiden. and deserve no better fate
than to live in single blessedness. And
again. if they are ashamed of their
names. what reason have they to sup
pose that any of womankind would
%condescend to share it with them.
We wouldn't mind doing the court
ing and woOing. too, for that matter,
but to drop out of the game at this
point and hand her over to a cold. in
different bachelor. and leave the des-
tiny of the fair creature in his hands
for the remainder of her days. Oh!
no. not us.
Therefore. we will not be a party to
this unnatural method of securing bet
ter halls, for in our opinion such mar
riages are failures, and we want to
retain the good will of our fellow man
and respect of the fairer sex, and
above all, we want to preserve the
good opinion we have of ourself. If
the bachelors" want a wife. let them
get one as the rest of us did. and then
if they ever have occasion to want a
second, We'll bet dollars to doughnuts
they won't do the wooing by proxy.

FIGHT HAS BEGUN.

RenviIIe County Supporters Lose the
First Round Of the Battle Before
Judge cowan.
Bottineau News: The News last
week reported the fact that Bottineau
county had won in Judge Cowan's
court, in the tax case. against Robert
Wright, of Antler. wherein Mr.. Wright
hoped to establish the legal existence
of Renville county. But the fact that
the case has been won in the lower
court is no particular reason for boast
fulness. The case will no doubt be
carried to the supreme court, as we
stated last week, and their decision
may be different. Then, too, new suits
may be instituted on some other
ground and new court decisions dug
up. so that the case may yet go
aginst Bottineau county. Those peo-
pie west of the river feel that they
v a grievance against this and
Ward counties and they will probably
fight a long time to get old Renville
county on the map again.

Agriculture Backbone Of Prosperity

New York. Sept. 23.-Special.-
Henry Clews' weekly review says: Re
ports of crop damage seem to have
been exaggerated as usual. Injuries
however were chiefly local and another
week OF freedom from general frost
will put corn and cotton out of danger.
Very likely some reports of damage
may be forthcoming. but the great bulk
Of the crops are already safe. and each
day materially lessons the possibility
of injury. Although the crops are late
it must be remembered that the last
few weeks have been almost ideal
crop weather, unusually so for Sep
TENDER, and railroad managers as a
rule are confident that the crops are
now safe from any important danger.
Having repeatedly dwelt upon the i'm
portant benefits of a satisfactory har-
vest to the country at large as well as
to Wall street, it is to
further enlarge upon this issue. Suf-
flee it to say that agriculture is still
the backbone of the country, and pros
perity to the farmers of the west and
south combined will accomplish more
towards maintaining our national pros
perity for another year than any other
single influence.

RUSSIAN FLAX CULTURE.
Existing in North Dakota and Flax
Belt Of America, Says Prof. Bolley.


Prof. Bolley of the State Agricultural
college. who was sent to Russia by
the government to study flax and if
possible obtain an immune seed.
writes from Russia that he has been
working. but has little TO say yet. al
though he will send in a regular re-
port soon. He says: From what |
nave eel in Holland, Belgium and in
Russia. North Dakc tans may we'll take
heart. Russian fax culture has few
points of excellence; and in many
ways. both a. to soil and labor, can in
tons of North Dakota. The average
Russian fibre crop of straw is shorter
than the straw of our common flax
grown for seed in North Dakota.
Intelligence and machinery in the
Dakotas. Minnesota, Michigan, Wis
consin. Oregon and Washington may
easily make us the first fiber as well as
the first seed producing country in the
world. With the exception of the small
areas around Iskoff and Vologda, Rus
sian fiber flax is all shorter than
North Dakota seed flax.
The Russian peasants and most Rus
sian estate owners seem to know little
of the value of a pure strain or variety,
and mix everything. and flax diseases
are worse here than with us.
The watchwords of the Dakota agri-
culturalist must be. pure varieties.
pure strains. clean seed. seed disinfec-
ton and crop rotation.

BABy'S FUTURE
Something for Mothers
to Think About.
Lives Of Suffering and

CutlcuraSoap, Ointment tand Pills
When All Else Fails.

Every child born into the world with
an inherited or early developed ten
dency to distressing, disfiguring hu-
mours Of the skin, scalp and blood, be-
comes an object of the most tender So
licltude, not only because of its suffer-
ing, but because of the dreadful fear
that the disfguration is to be lifelong
and mar its future happiness and pros
perity. Hence it becomes the duty of
mothers of such afflicted children to ac-
eisiut themselves with the best, the
pTost and most effective treatment
available, viz, The Cuticura Treatment.
Warm baths with Cuticura Soap to
cleanse the skin and scalp of crusts and
scales, gentle applications of Cuticura
Ointment, to allay itching, irritation
and Inflammation, and soothe and heal,
and mild doses of Cuticura Resolyent
Pills, to cool the blood In the severer
cases, are all that can be desired for the
alienation Of the suffering of skin tor
tured infants and children, and the COM
fort of worn-out parents.
Millions Of women use Cuticura Soap,
assisted by Cuticura Ointment, for pre-
serving, purifying and beautifying the
skin, for cleansing the scalp Of crusts,
scales and dandruff, and the stopping
Of falling hair, for softening, whitening
and soothing red, rough and sore hands,
for baby rashes, itchings and chafings,
In the form of washes for annoying
irritatioDs and inflammations, and for
many sanatiye, antiseptic purposes
which readily suggest themselves.
