AGAINST THE PUBLIC INTEREST.
overzealous Reformers Work for Law
Against Proprietary Medicines.


Schemes to diminish or destroy
the sale of proprietary medicines are
constantly being devised by interested
parties. Every now and then some
Jealous reformer comes to the front
with the demand for law to require
every package of proprietary medi-
cine to be labeled with a printed
statement of the formula showing
just how it is manufactured. The mil
lions of people who use proprietary
medicines seem to be satisfied; but
the man with mania for regulating
the affairs of other people or who has
some personal interest to serve is
the one who agitateS the proposition.
To a person who has never taken
time to consider it. such a proposition
may seem reasonable enough; yet 1T
is in fact nothing more nor less than
a scheme to compel the manufacture
ers to put their trade throughout the
entire country at the mercy OF every
commercial pirate who might choose
to flood the market with limitations of
their goods.
"Under such conditions the incen-
tive for the original manufacturer to
advertise his goods would be practi-
cally destroyed, for the money spent
on advertising would inure mainly to
the benefit of the pirates and imita-
tors. Without advertising, the public
would receive little information in
regard to the medicine, and all future
sales would be greatly impaired If
not wholly destroyed 1t is mainly by
judicious advertising that the knowl-
edge of proprietary medicines is
brought to the public. Nothing is
more certain than that millions of peo-
pie have found relief at a compare
lively small expense by the use OF
some remedy first called to their
notice through newspaper advertising
Why, then, should the manufacturer
of mertorious proprietary remedy
be compelled by law to practically
destroy his business as condition of
being allowed to carry it on? Yet
that is exactly what these formula
bills mean.-EXchange

AWFUL NEURALGIA
W. Porter Thought He Should Go Mad

Cured Him.

1t seems like miracle that DR..
Williams Pink Pills should have cured
my neuralgia" said Mr.. Porter. "They
are certainly a marvellous medicine and
! am always glad to recommend them.
''For two years." he continued, az had
suffered almost uncomfortable pains in my
head. They would start over my ewes
and shoot upward most frequently, but
they often spread over my tace, aud at
times every part of my head and face
would be full of agony. Sometimes the
pains were SO intense that | actually
feared they would drive mo mad
My eyes ached constantly anc there
was always burning sensation oven my

sometimes they were acute, and AGAIN

complete and has lasted ever since"
Mr.. Charles II. Porter lives at Ray
mond, N. III. He is one of many grateful
people who have found that DIR. Williams
Pink Pills will cure diseases of the nerves
that have stubbornly resisted every other
remedy tried. Not only neuralgia, but
sciatica, partial paralysis and locomotor
htaxia yield to them. They are sold by
all druggists, or may be obtained directly

The bandits secured 500 in cash and
$500 in stamps, which, with nitro

Bank of Wild Rose, but were fright
ened away before reaching the money

Damaged by Explosion
The blast that wrecked the door Of

Miller S. D., Oct. 1o-By prairie
fire twenty-five miles southwest of

wheat and lot of hay. Considerable
grazing land was burned over. The
lack of help during the season caused
many frebreaks to be abandoned and
neglected. They are now mass of
weeds, and with the big growth of
grass and vegetation on the ground
everywhere there is great danger this

Grand Forks, n. D., Oct. 10. - The
entire funds of the State Bank of Hen
sci, Pembina county, were stolen early
Saturday morning by cracksmen. More
than $4,000 was secured. and checks
and notes valued at a much larger
amount were torn and scattered by the
explosion. The robbers took nothing
but cash, $3.50 in silver and the re-
mainder in currency.
The bank is capitalized at $4,000.
F. A. Halliday is president and j. o.
Mills cashier.
Clues Are Few.
The only clues found seem to indi-
cate that the burglars were the same
that robbed the Clifford bank last fall.
A revolver and several shotgun shells
found in the bank are of Canadian
manufacture, and the soap used to
hold the nitroglycerin is like that used
at Clifford.
Hensel, like all North Dakota towns,
is crowded with strangers, and that
fact makes it difficult to trace the
robbers.
May Mean Death.
If the large number of men engaged
in the hunt is successful in their
search it is probable that the criminals
will be given the alternative of sur
rendering or of being shot down.

Thomas Barton of this city. commit
ted suicide at the home of his grand
mother, Mrs. Elizabeth Donant, about
four miles south of Wabasha. He was
a student Of the high school here. and
was an exceptionally bright boy. He
left school apparently in good spirits
and went directly home, riding BIZ
cycle. On reaching home he went di-
rect to his room, took off his shoe and
stocking, and with his toe set off the
fatal charge that ended his life almost
instantly. Coroner Gengnagle was
called and summoned jury which
brought in verdict of suicide. No
motive for the act can be learned.
