ANTI-sALooN TALK TO OdurEs.
Rev Mr.. Wark's Words Were Trans
lated Into Sign Language.

The last of the series of sermons to
deaf mutes was delivered at the First
Methodist church Sunday afternoon.
Rev. Mr.. Wark. pastor of the Walnut
Grove Methodist church, delivered the
sermon. which was translated to the
mute congregation by Miss Edith
Brummitt in the sign language.
The subject of Mr.. Wark's sermon
was Temperance. and he broke the
rule usually followed by local minis
tiers by stating that local conditions
might be worse
Fifty years ago" said Mr. Wark
drinking was common. Our fore
fathers drank in the winter to keep
warm, and in the summer to keep
cool 1t was considered no crime or
disgrace to drink even to excess. You
may easily see the difference At
present it is not only considered bad
form, but all the churches are against
the practice. which they were not at
the time when some ministers had to
take few drinks before services for
Inspirations At present, not only the
Protestant churches. which have all
declared against liquor drinking, but
the large business Institutions and
railroad companies are with US. They
viii not hire drinkers. and get rid of
their whisky drinking employees at the
first opportunity.
ct is generally believed among
PrOtestants that the Catholic church
is in favor of saloons and liquor drink
ing. 1 say that this belief is q mistaken
one A movement is now in progress
among the Roman Catholics which
Will, within ten years. result in the
church declaring against the saloon.
"As I said before, local conditions
might be worse. The people might be
in favor Of the joints. as we call them
condition is in general disfavor. it is
in a fair way to dissolution.

BRAVE FIRE LADIES
TAKE The TOWN
Twenty Third Annual T0urna=
ment Pulled Off in MinOt.

The 23rd annual convention Of
North Dakota fremen is being
held in this city this week, open
ing Tuesday and will end this
evening. Several hundred fire.
men are present, and to say that
the laddies are having a good
time is not half expressing it.
The Casselton and Devils Lake
boys arrived on Monday to get
in good trim for the occasion
and Cakes, next in number. were
on the ground early in the morn
ing OF the 10Th. Devils Lake
took up quarters at Hotel Nor
rill and have been plugging for
the convention next year. The
Devils Lake business men put up
$500 for their boys to be used
in landing the convention, but 1T
is believed that Cakes will win
out this year.
Three soldiers arrived from
Devils Lake Sunday with sixty
OF the tents belonging to the
State Militia and a number of
these were pitched in the school
house yard to be used by the
firemen.
The boys all came bedecked in
badges OF all descriptions.
The business men welcomed
the brave frelnen in royal style,
and many fine appropriate win
dow displays were arranged.
One of the most attractive was
P. P. Lees, in which a large guam
tity Of feathers were kept in a
continual state OF motion with
an electric tan. In the center ap-
peared dimly, two nozzles. A
sign read, "You will have to bur
~ like these feathers to keep up
with the n. D. Firemen.
The firemen all came for a
good time and are having it.
While riding in an automobile
about five o'clock Tuesday morn
ing, Barney Edwards, a Lari-
moure fireman, collided with an
otherautomobilist and both ma
chimes were badly damaged one
to the tune OF SO. Barney
landed in a heap out along the
side OF the street and injured his
arm.
One OF the fremen from Valley
City. w. F. DuVall, proprietor
OF a Job printing establishment,
| is here. He is brother to Du
Vail brothers, harnessmakers in
this city, whom he had not seen
for twelve years.

GOOD BLOOD
Bad Compilations Due to Catarrh 81
Catarrh Can Be Cured Only By
Rexall Mucu Tone Cos.
metics Prove Worthless
MlNOT, NO. OAK.

Thousands of women are using toilet
preparations unsuccessfully.
Cosmetics fail to improve their thick,
muddy compilations or to Danish the
pimples, blackheads and crows -feet.
No wonder. Their trouble lies far
deeper than the skin. They have bad
blood, and bad blood in 90 per cent Of
the cases arises from Inflammation of the
mucous membrane. Their blood is filled
with poison which is certain to break out
in unsightly humors and botches,- while
pale, drawn faces, deep circled eyes.
STOPPING shoulders and weak backs COM
plete the story of suffering and despair.
Inflammation Of the mucous membrane
Is catarrh. Danish catarrh and complex
ions will clear as if by magic, pain vanish,
eyes will brighten, faces become plump
and shoulders erect. Perfect beauty goes
only with perfect health, and perfect
health for women can only be obtained
through Rexall Mucu-T Tone, the one posi-
tive and permanent cure for catarrh.
Nine. Swift, the most famous beauty
specialist in the world and an accepted
authority on all relating thereto, has thie
to say of Mucu-Tone:
can strongly endorse the claims made for
Rexall Mucu-TOne as cure for systemic catarrh.
Its tonic effects are remarkable. 1t builds up
the strength and restores the vitality. II women
who are tired and run down. lacking in energy
and vitality. will use Mucu-Tone, they will
praise it as do for it, strengthening and heal
ing qualities.

BEWARE OF PIE
rAND SlNKERS
Hursy-Up Lunches Pave the Way Fot
YeAfs Of Suffering.

Doctors have preached against it, Bril-
ishers have written scathing articles about
it, wives and mothers have crusaded
against it-and yet the deadly hurry.
up lunch marches on.
The fascinating doughnut, the alluring
''sinker," the irresistible triangle Of
foundry pie, washed down by gulps Of
cold milk or hot coffee or iced water.
continue on their deadly way to the
stomachs of thousands and thousands of
Americas hustling, capable, world.con
quering business men.
In all probability we will be unable to
wipe out the "hurry-up' lunch for many
years to come, but we can at least combat
the evils wrought by the practice. Our
recipe is simple, economical and effective.
Buy q package of Rexall Dyspepsia
Tablets; carry thern in your pocket; and
as the last gulp of milk chases the last
chunk of refractory pie down your
@sophagus. swallow one tablet.
Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets prevent and.
cure stomach trouble by supplying the
one element, the absence of which in
the gastric juices, causes indigestion and
dyspepsia. They enable the stomach to
digest all kinds of food and to quickly
convert it into rich, red blood.
Our proposition is not merely to sell
you dyspepsia tablets, but to sell you
cure for your dyspepsia and indigestion.
If Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets do not
effect this cure, we give you back your
money. That shows how much conf
dence we have in this new remedy
Price Is cents per large package,
Sold only at our store or by mail.

DEATH BY INDIGESTION
A Long Train OF Fetal Ills is The
Direct Result OF Undigssted Tosi

Undigested food, by fermenting, forms
poison in the stomach and this is abb
sorbed in the blood. Il this goes on very
long. and your heart happens to be weak,
you'll be found some morning dead. in
bed. or you may fall back down the
stairs about an hour and half after
dinner and the doctor wal call it heart
disease. Yes. that may be the result,
but not the cause. The cause Is indiges-
tion. Indigestion is a simple, common
word, but it has terrible import.
And so you may get apoplexy, and
die suddenly while you're standing.
If you have weak liver, the poison
of undigested food will attack it and you
viii get jaundiee. If you have weak
diabetes. from which there is no rescue
for any man.
It was a learned physician who said
that the progress of a race depended up
on the stomachs of its members
And you have at some time in your
life eaten a heavy meal or eaten in a
hurry. and felt that lump of Lead i'm
mediately afterward. That lump of lead
is a hard ball of undigested food The
stomach can't digest it, and finds it hard
to throw it out. And so it sours. and it
makes you sour and everybody sour who
talks with you. 1t gives you a bad
breath and is building for you the road
to dyspepsia and death, unless you stop
it.
Stop it with Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets. just think. these little tablets are
every bit as powerful as the gastric juice
in your stomach. One grain will digest
5000 grains of food Isn't this wonder
full? And it is true, just try it. and
prove it.
If you have any brash, gas on the
stomach. fermentation, burning, bloaty
feeling, indigestion, dyspepsia or heart
burn, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will
make it disappear before it can do any
harm to your heart or other organs.
They will invigorate the stomach, re-
heve the stomach of two-thirds OF its
work and give it a chance to rest. They
will increase the flow of gastric juice,
and if you will ever ''hye" in your life
time, it will be after you have eaten
good, hearty meal, and taken one of these
little tablets Immediately afterward
You'll just feel fine.
Take Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets after
your next meal to-day and you will use
Them ever afterward. You will be cheer
full, vigorous and your mind will be
clear; you'll have snap and vim, and add
many a day to your life.
You can get these wonderful little tab
lets at any druggists for SOC. package.
