SAVED BY STRANGE DOG.
Canine Hero Battles With Bovine That
Is TrampIing Victim.

Canine Hero Battles With Bovine That
Is TrampIing Victim.
But for the interposition of a
strange dog, which suddenly appeared
upon the scene, Cora Kastella undoubt-
eddy would have been killed by a mad
bull which attacked her as she was
crossing pasture on the farm of
Jacob Ask, near Hatton.
The bull attacked the young woman
without warning, lunging at her and
striking her just above the heart. She
fell senseless to the ground and the
savage animal then proceeded to kick
and paw at her PROSTATE body. A
strange dog suddenly appeared in the
pasture and attacked the bull from
behind. This diverted its attention
from the young woman, and while the
dog and bull were engaged in terrific
battle, she, having meanwhile regained
consciousness, managed to crawl out
of the field.
An examination by a physician dis
closed the fact that Miss Kastella sus-
tanned fractures of two ribs and was
badly lacerated and bruised about the
body. 1t is not yet determined whether
she sustained internal injuries. If
she did not, her recovery is antici.

DEMAND SPRAYERS IN NORTH DAKOTA
Professor Boey Says Proper Machinery Used at Right Time
will Kill Off Weeds Of Various Kinds Machinery
Men Should Stock Up.

Convinced that the experiments in
killing weeds by chemical spraying
which he and Professor Pritchard
have made in various parts of the
state during the past few weeks have
demonstrated the success and prac-
ticability of this method, Professor
H. L. Bolley intends in the near fu-
ture to issue bulletin explaining in
full the methods of attacking the vari-
GUS weeds in the grain fields.
In discussing the weed killing this
morning he said:
Il think it is safe to predict that
this spraying method will meet with
entire success in the hands of farmers
when they provide themselves with
suitable machinery for the work. The
chemicals used are of such a nature
that their price will fall as soon as
they go into general use Most of
those we used can be easily made in
large quantities, but as yet they are
only used in limited way, much as
formaldehyde was once used.
Proper machinery used at the right
time will dispose of kinghead, mus
tard, wild buckwheat, rag weed and
many minor weeds in cereal grain
fields without checking the growth or
lessening the yield of grain. In fact.
there will be an increase in yield suf-
ficient to cover all cost"
Professor Bolley emphasized the
necessity of the machinery dealers
putting in a stock of sprayers of vari-
Gus kinds SO that they may be easily
secured by the farmers of the state.
There should he an agency estab.
lished for good traction sprayer in
every large town in the state" he said.
"There are many good machines. but
machinery dealers should be careful
to select cart which has the follow
ing important features: Heavy as,
wide tires (3k to inches). sturdy or
rigid iron wheels. fitted to two-horse
team, 100 to 120-gallon tank capacity
There should be force pump worked
by traction gear which will give an
even pressure of 100 pounds to the
square inch; a nozzle arranged so that
the spray will hit the entire ground
surface and large air pressure tank
are necessity. Good hand sprayers
Of the three to four gallon type will
also be in demand in the Canada this
tie and dandelion work.
'The field sprayers should be in
stock and ready for delivery by April

San Francisco, July 21.-After be-

orators in the Oakland and San Fran.
cisco Offices of the Western Union and
Postal Telegraph companies, settled
their strike yesterday afternoon. The
operators unanimously voted to return

4 CAR SHORTAGE is INEVITABLE
Lack Of Cars Will Be Greater During

Lack Of Cars Will Be Greater During
Approaching Fall Than Last Winter.
There will be shortage of cars on
the railroads of North Dakota during
the coming fall greater than that ex-
perienced last winter, and, unless the
small dealers and consumers take the
precaution to lay in a good stock of
coal during the summer months, there
Is likely to be serious fuel famine in
the state next winter. This is the
opinion expressed by o. M. Gudmun-
son of Mayville, an officer of the Bed
ler-Robinson Lumber Co.
Il anticipate big shortage of cars
this fall. The shortage will probably
be even greater than it was last year,
for the shipments of grain will be
equally as heavy, and the railroads
have not the cars to handle everything
at once. The people make mistake
In not stocking up with it now when
the railroads are ready to handle it
and the dock people at the head of the
lakes are anxious to dispose of it.
IN some places the people are pro-
fitting by the experience of last year,
as at Hope, where they are stocking
up heavily and piling many tons of
coal OH the open prairies, so as to
have a good supply on hand.
I'VE would be unloading great
deal more of it ourselves if it were not
for the fact that it is so hard to get
men to do the work."
When asked regarding the rumor
emanating from the twin cities to the
effect that many of the towns in the
state were short in their supplies of
fuel, Mr.. Gudmunson stated that he
had not heard anything of the kind,
on the contrary more coal is being
shipped than is usual at this time of
year.
H. E. Magill expressed himself in
similar fashion, stating that he had no
difficulty in securing all the coal he
needed and more. and he had not
heard of any trouble anywhere, the
shipments of coal to different parts of
the state being as heavy as usual at
this time of year.

MEAT OR CEREALS.
A Question Of Interest to All Care.
full Persons.

Arguments on food are interesting
Many persons adopt a vegetarian diet
on the ground that they do not like to
feel that life has been taken to feed
them, nor do they fancy the thought
Of eating dead meat.
On the other hand, too great con-
sumption of partly cooked, starchy
oats and wheat or white bread. pastry,
ETC., produces serious bowel troubles,
because the bowel digestive organs
(where starch is digested), are over
taxed and the food ferments, produc-
ing gas, and microbes generate in the
decayed food, frequently bringing on
peritonitis and appendicitis.
Starchy food is absolutely essential
to the human body. Its best form is
shown in the food "Grape.Nuts," where
the starch is changed into form Of
sugar during the process of it's manu-
facture. In this way, the required
food is presented to the system in a
pre-digested form and is Immediately
made into blood and tissue, without
taxing the digestive organs.
A remarkable result in nourishment
Is obtained; the person using Grape.
Nuts gains quickly in physical and
mental strength. Why in mental?
Because the food contains delicate
particles of Phosphate of Potash OBJ
tanned from the grains, and this unites
with the albumen of all food and the
combination is what nature uses to re-
build worn out cells in the brain.
This is a scientific fact that can be

The noise Of the shooting and the

that he regretted that his abdication

The company's payments TO policy

interesting to note that this amount
