General Lon@street used to tell good
many stories to show that the men of

Union soldiers with as much considera-

his orders OH this point were very

plain how proud he was of the record
of his men on this point listener en-

Young Plants

Every farmer knows that
some plants grow better than
others. Soil may be the same
and seed may seem the same
but some plants are weak and
others strong.
And that's the way with
children. They are like young
plants. Same food, same home,
same care but some grow big
and strong while others stay
small and weak.
SCOTS Emulsion offers an
easy way out of the difficulty.
Child weakness often means
starvation, not because of lack
of food, but because the food
does not feed.
SCOTS Emulsion reallyfeeds
and gives the child growing
strength.

ness and failure to grow

Difficult HOraehack Eeaf

There are no better horsemen in the
world than the cavalry officers of the
Italian army, yet even among them
there are very few who could perform
the feat recently achieved by one of
them.
To run an ordinary foot race is easy
enough. but to run at full speed for
several hundred yards holding in one
hand spoon on which rests an egg
and to reach the goal without dropping
the egg is feat which must be prac-
ticed carefully a long time before 1t
can be performed successfully. and as
Il result there are not many who can
be sure of accomplishing it whenever
they try. Great. therefore was the
surprise when an Italian officer mount
ed on horseback performed this dill
cult feat. Moreover, he selected q
course in which there were two or
three high fences. and these lie cleared
at full gallop without losing the egg.

Improve the Town Property

We.are all interested in the pros
perity of our town. We can contrib
ute to it materially, and give it far
more prosperous look at the same
time.
Perhaps the public property needs
a good coat of paint.
Devoe will supply that coat with
two thirds of the number of gallons
required by any other. Devoe is all
paint and full-measure. Devoe is the
strongest paint known. Devoe will
take care of the property, in the long
run, for half the money required by
any other.
The reason is stated above: Devoe
is all paint and full-measure: the
strongest paint known.
E. d. Jewell, CORY, Pa, painted
his house years ago with mixed
paint; took IA gallons. Last spring
he repainted with Devoe; bought IA
gallons and had 4 left. Saved $15 to
$40, as painting costs two or three
times as much as the paint.

1t is gratifying to know that the
mayor and council are taking the
necessary action looking to the estab-
fishing and building of sewer system
for the city of Bismarck. The city
and conditions have reached that
point where sewer system is q
necessity. Consideration of the public
health demands it, and the compare
tive responsiveness of a system in
Bismarck thwarts all opposition. No
bonds are necessary, no burden is in
CURED. A sewer district is estab-
lished and the benefits are determined
and assessed against each lot and the
payments can be extended over a
period of twenty years, if desired.
Only property owners on streets,
where the majority consent, need have
the benefits of sewer system, but it
is doubtful if there will be any oppo-
sitiOn whatever even on streets where
much of the property is vacant and
owned by outside parties. However
the district it is proposed to establish
at this time, comprises the built up
portion Of the city where the sewer
system is most needed and where the
large proportion of the residents have
already petitioned for the improve
ments. In establishing this system
the procedure Of other cities under the
same law is being followed as nearly
as practicable because of the fact that
most questions likely to come up have
in those cities been tested in the
courts and the following of such pro-
cedure is likely to steer us clear Of
the greatest number of breakers. It
is hoped no unnecessary obstacles or
delays will be met with in the com.
pletion Of a sewer systematic most
urgent improvement for the city of
Bismarck.
