THE TESTIMONY.

Of your own stomach is the best of all
testimony. But faith comes by hearing,
and to stimulate your faith SO you will
try Digestum we will tell few facts
A late Judge Of the Supreme Court who
had trouble with his stomach FOR years
was greeted by some ladies in the Cap.
itol City with "Why Judge, how well
you are 10 king" "Yes," said he "and
am feeling better than have for years,
and it's Gairison's DIGEoTUM that has
done it,"
The wife OF one of the largest loggers
in the country had doctored for yeats.
She had the best medical advice that
money could buy and had just returned
from sanitarium without relief. She
took two bottles OF Dtgestum and has not
had any trouble with her stomach since
she took the first dose
We have hundreds Of other testmoni-
ais but we give those of prominent peo-
pie to demonstrate that money can buy

An exchange has the following to
say regarding the institutions of
learning in this state: North Dakota
schools take rank with the best in the
United States. Recently there has
been a wedding out of incompetent
teachers. and a higher standard adopt
ed, resulting in over 1000 applicants
for license to teach being rejected.
Teachers certificates can only be
granted by the state superintendent of
schools. The change has raised the
salaries of district school teachers,
brought in many high grade instruc-
tors from outside states and sent
prospective teachers to the normal
schools for more training. ALI told,
the effect has been most beneficial on
the scnool system Of the state. The
average salary paid female teachers Of
| North Dakota is $38. so a month, and
male teachers $45 a month. This is
about the best average shown by any
state in the union, and is much high
er than before the law went into
effect.

Grand Forks Herald: 1t has been
stated sometimes that the movemelt
from this side Of the line to the Cana
dian lands of the far northwest had
temporarily destroyed the demand for
lands in the Red River valley. 1t
will BIZ noted that the other day at
the sale Of the remaining lands be-
longing to the old reservation at Fort
Pembina, every piece offered for sale
was bid up to $50 an acre. These
pieces of land are the least valuable
for agricultural purposes of any on
the reservation, being in most cases
somewhat low and liable to floods.
At the sale a year ago all the other
lands of the reservation were sold,
but there were ne bidders for these
particular parcels, though they could
have been bought for $40 to $12 an
acre. This year they bring $50 OIL
over. This does not look as if there
was great falling off in the demand
for lands in this section.

RNSY MAN.

Washington correspondence to Grand
Forks Herald: Senator R%ansbrough
is one Of the busiest men in congress
and just now is wrestling with the
matter of public lands, BE being
chairman of that committee. Their
is a bill before the senate repeating
the right to commute honlesteads
proofs and the senator is vigorously
opposing the measure. He says he
knows the hardships a settler has to
go through to get a claim and thinks
it an injustice to repeal a law that
will give a man a chance to prove up
and raise some money on his land be-
fore he has lived there five years as
would be required in all cases if the
bill should become a law.

North Dakota Farmer and Sanitary
Home: One Of the pleasing signs in
North Dakota is the amount of inter
est being manifested in all matters
pertaining to dairyman. Creamery
organizations are being generally
formed and factories being built.
But of all the creameries that have
been built within the past few years
all seem to be doing a prosperous
business. More than all, about a
fourishing creamery will be found a
prosperous community Of farmers for
the dairy COW is a great mortgage
litter. Where you find the creamery
you find diversified agriculture and
the problem of soil humus and avail
able plant food is rapidly being solved.

The Dakota Farmer: Dairying is
the leading American industry of our
country at the present time, and this
must continue for the reason that the
COW is the most economical producer
Of food for man. A good dairy COW
will yield in n year 2S5 pounds Of
fat, 376 pounds of milk sugar, 900
pounds Of casein and albumen, and AZ
pounds of solids, about equal to he1
own weight. The above substances
are practically all digestible. A good
COW will yield six to eight times he,
own weight in milk. Is this not
remarkable? If you have not taker
up the study Of the COW, commence a
once; it is surely interesting.

Mrs. Mower was affected for several

hours at a time she would lie in a
comat0se state, the aid Of physician
often being required to revive her
After the death Of Mrs. Mower the
family was given to understand that
the body would be very much appreci-
ated in medical circles. This hint
aroused a fear that an attempt'would
be made to despoil the grave.
