A weman's Complexion

1t is rank foolishness to attempt
to remove sallowness or greKsiness

by the beauty doctors" The only

improve her complexion is by purify

can only be accomplished by keeping
the liver healthy and active. The
liver is the seat Of disease and blood
pollution. Green's August Flow er

THE EXTRA TOUCH.
II Ia Fasci mating, but 1T Is the En-
envy OF the Simple Life.

envy OF the Simple Life.
A business man Of great promise
failed in spite of it in one Of our sub
urban towns lately. & snrewd friend
OF the family thus diagnosed the bank
ruptcy: Jack made enough to live on
and could have kept on making it right
along. but Louise wanted the extra
touch. She knew just how to put it
on, and III the end she put it on Jacks
financial difficulties"
Other women have done the same
The extra touch is the most delightful
thing in the world when it can be af-
forded. 1t gives distinction to the com
m0npl&ce novelty, to routine things,
grace to life. Yet, like other extras, it
has the trick OF running up accounts
out Of all proportion. If it does not
cost money its expenses in time and
vital force are equally great The ex-
ira touch in dress means either a great
deal of money spent or a great deal of
time expended, and few women can at
ford either unless they stint in more
important directions.
The extra touch in social affairs of
ten costs beyond all proportion. The
exquisite nicely of table service at
tanned by some hostesses means con-
tinual trouble with servants and enOr-
nous laundry bills, to say nothing of
fret of mind. Distinctive entertain
ments involve money, brains, time or
all three The extra touch is the enc
my of the simple life. The average
household is much better off without it.
Yet it's destinations are such that those
of us who cannot reach it still sigh for
it, and those who can are seldom wise
enough to refrain from its temptations

Children and Money.

Training in responsibility and judg-

reach of every family, even the poorest

not to have spending money. To be

July 3. 1904. under the mysterious and
inscrutable permission of divine Provi-
dence. it seemed wise to lay upon our
commonwealth. our friendship and one

darkness of separation from among us

answering the call of his democratic
party to its representative convention

taking away of Jacob P. Birder, high
citizen of such noble character, high
personal worth, patriotic and devoted
impulse. the commonwealth of North
Dakota and City of Park River sustain
a keen and irreparable loss. To his
family we tender our heartfelt SYM
pathy and coincidence upon whom falls
that shadow of light obscured of a
personal virtue of love, kindness, con-
sideration. and loyalty TO all with whom
he came in contact and wish to hereby

SINCE it was first established last sum-
mer the state officials have operated the
trolley line from the city of Bismarck
to the capitol building at the expense
of the state and the state employees
have been supplied with dead head
tickets. A week ago an order was
made that everybody pay-possibly in
order to establish record that would
hush up talk of administration extrava-
pance at the expense Of the dear peo
ple. And henceforth it requires a
nickel to satisfy the demands of the
conductor of the only trolley car owned
by any of the state governments. The
Bismarck trolley line was put in by .
state appropriation BY the legislature at
its last session when the state was too
moor to give its needy institutions the
funds necessary for their support
