The two sides Of a PERSONS face
are never alike. The eyes are out
of line in two cases out of five and
one eye is stronger than the other
in seven persons out of ten. The
right eye is also, as rule, higher
than the left. Only one person in
fifteen has perfect eyes, the larg-
est percentage of defects prevail
ing among fair-haired people.
The smallest vibration of sound
can be distinguished better with
one ear than both. The nails of
two fingers never grow with the
same rapidity, that of the middle
finger growing the fastest, while
that OF the thumb grows slowest.
In fifty-four cases out of one hum
dred the left leg is shorter than the
right.-lndianapolis News.

know, dear reader, how we love
that man. We don't think for a

get his neighbors into print just

That South Brsnch.

INtA
In speaking Of the proposed N. P
branch south from Mandan, the Re.
publican says among other things: aThe
engineers and surveyors are said to be
now at work laying gu the course of the
road, the material will be dumped along
the right of way this fall and the actual
work of building the track will com.
mence the first thing in the spring.
Such a road would certainly tap a rich
country, and would for all time head off
the scheme of Bismarck to make the
Little Heart Valley contributary, by
means of ferries, pontoon bridges, ice
bridges or any other scheme, to that
city. And then add your irrigation
project to the rich lands of this valley
and you have the garden spot Of the
state with the markets of the world at
its door," All OF this will be contribu-
tary to Bismarck's wholesale houses.

says the writer in closing, Stands 10 a
girl somewhat as a well.invested sum of

use the interest at any time to help her
over a difficult situation. When she
needs a few dollars extra, she can draw
on it, ever after the necessity of earning

Origin of n Phrase.

Many years ago the wild deer that
roamed through the forests of England
used to dig holes in the earth with
their forefeet. They paved it out
sometimes to the depth of several
inches, sometimes a foot or more.
These holes were called 'scrapes." and
travellers at dusk or night or those who
were careless about their footing often
tumbled into them. They were laughed
at for their heedlessness when they
came home covered with mud, and, as
this frequently occurred after they had
been imbibing a bit, they were said to
have "got into a scrape." Some Cam
bridge students took up this express
sion, and thus it came to be applied to
people who had got into difficulties of
various sorts.

n. D. Pure Food Law.

North Dakota Farmer: Time and
again there has been shown the neces-
sity for a national pure food law. Food
products manufactured in other states
are constantly being shipped into North
Dakota by box car merchants from
supply houses and other irresponsible
parties which are in direct violation of
the food law of this state and. yet the
parties cannot be reached because they
have transacted their entire business
outside of the state.
Let every reader Of this paper who is
interested in pure food write to his con
gresham and urge him to use his in
1uence to secure the passage OF the
McCumber bill ut the next session OF the.
national legislature.
Let me sight as an example the Red
Cross Vinegar Co., of St. Louis, who
have sold in North Dakota cherry cider.
an artificial product without a trace Of
cherry juice or cherry product in it,
made largely from organic acids and
other chemicals favored and colored a
bright red with coal tar dye; and yet it is
impossible to reach the manufacturers
of this class of beverages that are sold
throughout the state.
Many of the supply houses in Chicago
are selling goods direct to the consumer
which are in violation of the food law.
For exemple we recently examined
twelve samples Of food products sold
in this state by Sears, Roebuck & Co.,
and of these nine were found to be
adulterated. therefore, in direct violation
of the law Of this state. Let US work to-
gether for a national pure food law.
