a. Bold Step,

To overcome the well-grounded and
reasonable objections of the more intel
ligent to the use of secret, medicinal COM
pounds, DIR. r. V. Pierce, of Buffalo, N.
Y, some time ago, decided to make bold
departure from the usual course pursued
by the makers Of put-up medicines for do
nestle use, and, so has published broad
cast and openly to the whole world, full
and comphpte list of all the ingredients
entering insS~the composition OF his widely
celebrated tediches. Thus he has taken
his numeTS1s patrons and patients into
his full EOnfikence. Thus too he has re-
moved/his sfnedicines from @mong secret
nostrKTSo of doubtful merits, and made
themkf'emcdies Of Kno10n Composition.
BY this bold step Dr. Pierce has shown
tnaL-h his formulas are Of such -eXcellence

THE GRAIN EXCHANGES
inquiry and Report by a Joint
Committee of the Mime
sofa Legislature.
handling Of Grain Has Been Re-
duCed to Safe and Eco.
nomical Basis.

The chamber of commerce of Min
neapOlis and the board of trade of Du-
luth, the two grain exchanges of Min
nesota, were investigated during the
recent session of the legislature of
Minnesota by joint committee COM
posed Of two members of the senate
and three members Of the house Of
representatives. Criticisms of the two
organizations had been widely circu-
| lated through the Northwest and this
brought about the inquiry.
The committees investigation and
deliberations extended over a period
of several weeks and included the ex-
animation Of a large number of wit
nesses The conclusions reported to
the legislature were that the two or
CARNATIONS are benefit to the farmer
and grower of grain; that they have
SO facilitated the handling OF grain
that it is done at the minimum OF ex-
pense and the highest worlds price is
obtained; that the high standard of
business integrity required of mem
bers Of the exchanges is q protection
to the consignor Of grain, and, in gen.
eral, that the exchanges are entitled
to much of the credit Of building up
and developing the grain trade of the
Northwest The report in full follows:
Your committee begs to report that
pursuant to resolution adopted by the
house Of representatives and senate,
providing that a committee of fifteen
be appointed, that said committee OF
fifteen delegated to the undersigned
committee the work Of Investigating
the rules, methods, etc., Of the grain
exchanges as described above.
And your committee reports that,
pursuant to such resolution, this un-
dersigned subcommittee held various
sessions and called before them vari-
Gus witnesses from different parts of
the state Of Minnesota and have lis

The butchers smock was blue. It
looked much neater than the white
smocks of his friends, all smeared with

man, fought to wear a blue smock.
Why? Because dry blood won't show
on it. Dry blood turns blush, and on

CroutOnS.

To cut bread into dice before frying,
If it Is to be used as croutons. is not
the most approved method. When done
in this way it becomes very hard and
indigestible. The bread should rather
be cut into thin slices and then stamp
ed out in circles little larger than Il
quarter or cut into squares Of about
the same size or in oblongs two inches
long and over one-half inch thick.
These tossed into hot lard and taken
out almost instantly in the frying
basket are the most palatable

Queer MARRIAGES,

In southern India marriage with in
animate objects is not altogether IN
known. A man who has lost two
wives and wishes to marry another
will go through formal marriage
ceremony with a plantain tree. which
Is afterward cut down. This stands
for the third marriage. which is con-
sidered inauspicious. and the man feels
free to make fourth marriage with a
third woman
In 1860 Rev. Dr. Crane wrote Il
tract on popular amusements, in which
be said that novel reading has be-
come the vice Of the age and warned
his readers and listeners against so
evil habit, so soul destroying a recre-
alton as novel reading. His son was
Stephen Crane, the novelist.

An American Citizen

IAN American Citizen' is one
of the prettiest plays ever writ
ten. You may 20 to see it with the
assurance that you have never
seen it before, at least not in
North Dakota, for it has not yet
been played here. The story is
beautiful one. The scenes are
laid in New York city. Nice in
France and London, England.
One OF the firm of Bal bury,
Cruger and Brown, a law firm
of New York city, becomes a
defalter for many thousands of
dollars, and apparently does
away with himself. An uncle
of Cruger died some time prev
ious leaving him a large sum of
money, conditioned that he
change his name to Carew,
marry a lady of English birth
and become a subject of Great
Britain. At the time of the
opening of the play but two days
remain for Cruger to accept the
terms Of the uncle's will. The
story of the play tells what he
does and how he does it. Sew
eral other stories, each interest
ing in themselves are brought
out in the play and on the whole
the play promises to be one of
the most interesting ever seen
here. This is the eighth session
that the O'Callaghans have been
pleasing Devils Lake audiences,
and from the following names of
persons appearing in the cast it
will be seen that many of the
old timers are still with the
company, as among the cast are:
Frank Gum, Harry Kneeshaw,
Ed. F. Flynn, Robert Cairns,
Harold Connolly, Leland Cain,
Earl E. Mann, Leo Nelson, Flor
ence Connolly, Marie B. Mitchell
Marion Mitchell, Sue E. Flynn
and Emma Nelson.
Reserved seats will be on sale
at the Devils Lake Drug Co.,
Hodgkinsons old store, on and
after May 10Th. The Eagle
band will give a concert before
the play at the armory, and the
New Devils Lake Orchestra will
furnish the incidental music.

settlement OF disputes; of providing
rules under which business shall be
transacted, etc.; that neither Of these
grain exchanges Is engaged in any
way In the purchase or sale of grain
or any commodity. the object Of their
work being simply that Of furnishing
facilities to their various members
and surrounding these members with
various safe methods and to establish
rules governing business transactions
It has systematized it's business SO
umes Of grain readily and convert it
into money with less amount of fric-
ton and expense than ever before.
Your committee feels that the de-
velopment of the grain business has
been materially helped by the organ
1zation of these exchanges and that
they have been one of the causes that
has greatly developed the whole North
west. These exchanges provide a
place where grain can be bought and
sold; it gathers together at these
places the buyers and sellers and
among these buyers and sellers are
those whose scope of prices extends
beyond the confines of this country;
among the facilities offered by each OF
these exchanges Is the information
openly given to all members, of the
conditions Of the various markets Of
the world at all times The competi-
ton OF these exchanges is open and
keen. The membership Of each of the
exchanges includes millers, elevator
owners, grain commission merchants,
linseed oil manufacturers, bankers,
cereal manufacturers, etc: many of
the members of each of these ex-
changes residing at other points than
at the terminal markets; the competi-
fion in the purchase and sale of all
grain in each Of these exchanges is so
open. the interests represented in the
exchange itself are SO varied, the rules
making the transactions so certain
and the high standard of business in
tegrity maintained by each of these ex-
changes, that it seems to this commit
tee that the result of the existence
and work Of these exchanges has a
very small possibility Of being hostile
to the best interests of the producers
of grain in this state
Your committee report that there
are $50 memberships in the chamber
of commerce of Minneapolis, and that
there are zoe memberships in the
board of trade of Duluth and that all
these memberships are issued. That
In order to obtain admission to either
Of these exchanges, membership GER
tiicate must first be bought and an
application be made to the exchange
for membership, which application Is
finally passed upon by the board of
directors, it requiring a majority (not
less than seven affirmative votes) to
entitlc the applicant to admission.
1T appears clearly to your commit
tee that while among some of our cit
liens there is a prevalent contention
that IT, re-. w market IS n sense
controlled by these ;wo exchanges, yet
t is evident that the reason for such
spin:on Is based upcn the fact that
rlese exchanges Ga;Eer together the
buyers and sellers Of all grains and
that therefore anyone having grain to
sell naturally goes 10 these exchanges,
simply because, if for no other reason,
that ali the buyers and sellers OF grain

in information which Is disseminated
among its members advising them OF
the various facts and situations of the
markets throughout the world, thus
enabling the producer of grain to keep
thoroughly posted as to the market
conditions Of the entire globe.
1T appears that the grain trade Of
the chamber of commerce Of Minneap-
oils has grown from 100000 bushels
In 1881 to 10000, 900 bushels Of grain
in 1906 and the board of trade Of Du-
luth has seen its grain business grow
from 3,500,000 in 1881 to 80,000,OO0 in
1906 Thus it can readily be seen that
since the organization Of these grain
exchanges the grain trade has devel-
oped greatly in the Northwest.
Your committee feels that, while
perhaps they have not had the time
to infinitely investigate all the phases
and charges that have been made
against these different exchanges, yet
they feel sufficiently we'll informed on
the subject now under investigation
to add the following as the deduction
Of the evidence by the different par
ties who have been summoned to tes-
tify before this committee.
"A copy Of all of this evidence Of
fered and all Of the rules, regulations
and bylaws, together with the articles
of incorporation of both of these ex-
changes ia hereto attached and made
q part of this report.
"Your committee, however although
being satisfied that these grain ex-
changes have been In their operation,
and arc now, productive of great benz
efits, yet your committee Is inclined
to believe, in respect to the matter OF
admission to membership of applt-
cants. that the methods Of election of
such applicant should be broadened
and 80 enlarged that 1t should be de-
pendent upon a vote Of larger pro-
portion Of the members Of the OK
change than al the present time, SO
that the question of refusing or re-
ceiving an applicant for membership
would be passed upon by larger
number of the members than is now
required by the rules of the exchange.
Your committee is also of the opin-
Ion that it might be wise and desir-
able for these exchanges to so enlarge
their authorized membership so tina;
they could lie more readily purchased
by any possible applicant

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion Of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inf1amed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
inflamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed, deafness is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to it's nor
NAL condition. hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by catarrh, which is moth
ing but an inflamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.
