draft could do that.
7th. Because it does much to destroy
the happiness of some Of our homes.
9th. Because it is destroying the
credit of some of our citizens and
farmers.
9th. Because booze selling impover-
ishes our community and robs our mer-
chants. One man discovered that
nearly all his bad accounts were against
the booze-drinking customers, and he
as a merchant was unconsciously the
chief supporter of the booze-selling
druggist. The cash he should have had
was going there. Our merchants will
be far better off without the trade of
any and all who may stay away from
Lansford because it is a clean dry
town.
10th. Because it is demoralizing to
our drug business and ruinous to the
character of our druggists. Our drug
gists, because of their education and
intelligence ought to be best citizens;
but because of this business they are
becoming to be ostracised by the best
society. Soon they will be considered
no better than saloon keepers or even
worse because of the prejury their
business leads to.
18th. Because according to the in
tent of our law, it makes druggists
criminals. They cannot help knowing
that most of the booze they sell is for
beverage purposes. All they would sell
for medicine wouldn't be worth the
effort and expense to get permit.
18th. Because our men and women
are asked to become partners in these
moral crimes by signing these permits,
and then they are given no share in
the profits. This they do not want,
but it is preposterous for men to think
that citizens will take the moral respon-
sibility and then turn all the gains into
the pockets of another.
18th. Because the druggists permit
does nothing to lessen the blind big
business. Liquor is known to be of such
a nature that the more men get the
more they want and so the drug bust.
ness in liquors only feeds the blind pig
business.
18th. Because the whole business as
carried on is SINFUL, runious, parasite.
cal growth on our communities.
i Yours truly and kindly,
T. ]. WATTS.

WHAT Do YOU SAY!

A few Of the msny reasons why we
are agitating against druggists per-
mits are:
LIST. Because we have reason to be-
lieve that by far the greater part of
liquor is sold for beverage purposes,
contrary to the intent Of the law.
End. Because we see the evil effects
Of the drug store permit.
3nd. Because alcoholic drinks have
no real value and therefore the business
is a graft. Even its medical value is
disputed by the best Of physicians.
When buy Of my merchant I get value
received for my money.
4th. Because alcoholic drinks as such
are positively harmful to body, mind
and soul.
5th. Because we do not believe in
two or three men enriching themselves
at the expense Of the many.
9Th. Because on the principal o1
equality. liberty and justice, one mar
has "a much right to sell as another
It does not require . druggists educa
ton to be able to dispense liquor.

B. S. Hodges, candidate for commits
sioner.
The following committeeman were
present: Alex. Arthur, Ada; j. c.
Craft, Port Emma; J. E. Schermer-
horn; H. Dinsmore, VanMeter; G. L.
Ward, A. L. Beggs and e. F. Bodle,
Glendale; ]. H. Nagel, Forbes; L. B.

c. B. Andrus, James River Valley;
l.. N. Puffer, Hudson; Alva Brown.
Riverdale; ]. w. Bush, G. A. Moore
and H. c. Mccartney, Oakes.
As decided at the former meeting
Chairman Bodle announced the execu-
tive committee as follows: First dis
trict, E. F. Bodle; Second district,
R. E. Griffin; Third district, H. c.
McC cCartney; Fourth district. L. B.
Green; Fifth district, j. E. Schermer-
horn.
The plan of campaign was discussed
at some length, and the sentiment was
that the republicans would stick by
their ticket this fall and elect every
man from top to bottom. While the
democrats were pricking up their ears
and talking glibly about the election
Of Bryan and Burke, the very best
they could hope for was the reelection
of Burke as governor. and they realized
with a united republican party it
would be hard thing even to re-elect
Burke.
A Taft and Sherman Club was dis.
cussed and it was decided to make it 9
county organization. H. G. Mccartney
was elected president and w. S.
Wickersham secretary of the club, anc
were instructed to prepare the neces'
sary blanks and send to each precinct
committeeman. It was also though,
best to organize local clubs in each pre-
cinct.
After the meeting at the lodge hal
the visitors went to Hotel Home wher,
the local committee treated them II
a luncheon and smoker. Mine Hos
Stevens never fails to please on sucl
occasions and all enjoyed the socia
session.

MEETING OF
The W. c. 7. U.
Lecture by Rev. Ogden ol
Wheaton
Many Useful Suggestions We're Presented
General Business Transacted
Interesting Program

The district institute Of the w. G. T. U.
was held in the Presbyterian church,
Sept. 2. The meeting was called to
order by District President Mrs. Nc
Crory, of Cogswell. After the devot-
ional service. Mrs. McCrory called for
the reading of the Declaration of Prin-
ciples of the organization, by Mrs.
Heinbaugh of Glendale, secretary of
the organization. This was followed
by drill by the president on the pur-
poses and possibilities Of w. c. T. U.
Discussion, was led by Mrs. Thibbets Of
Glendale. Many useful suggestions
were presented and all were deeply
interested and greatly benefited. In
the afternoon officers were elected and
general business transacted. Rev.
Ogden and Rev. James Opie made
short addresses. The officers were
all reelected and the work Of re-
ports, etc. was necessarily shortened.
A social session followed which lasted
until five o'clock. The evening session
was very. interesting and profitable.
Mrs. Waterman, the local president,
presided. She welcomed the visitors in
a few well chosen words and called for
a song Of welcome by the children of
the L. T. L. This was followed by a
reading by Miss Sunie Smith, which
was given in her own sweet way.
More singing and the rally call by the
children, who had been trained by Mrs.
Andrews, was followed by lecture by
Rev. Ogden of Wheaton. Mr.. Ogden
is fearless, forcible speaker. He is
a strong North Dakota man and his ad-
dress was greatly enjoyed by a rather
select audience. We hope the ladies
will come again.
It was moved that the article "What
do You say?" taken from the Lansfort
Times be endorsed and that the Oaka,
papers be requested to publish thu
same.

OPENING OF
new DRUG STORE
Store a Credit to the City
: and Owner
5. l. Harris Opened His New Drug Stor'
Saturday, Aug. 29-0ne Of the
Finest IN The State

S. L. Harris opened his new drug
store to the public Saturday. And a
busy afternoon it was. Free ice cream
and sodas were served from two to five
and it kept the whole push. busy as
bees all the time to wait on the throng
of customers that came in to enjoy
quaff from the fountain that has be-
come so popular for its quality of car
donated drinks and for its ice cream.
Mr.. Harris has always endeavored to
serve his customers with the very best.
The public taste is very sensitive along
this line, but the Harris Drug Store
never fails to satisfy.
The Harris Drug and Book store is one
of the very finest in the state. We
doubt if any city the size of Oakes can
show better one. The building
is 25x9O, full basement and two stories.
The pressed brick is from our. native
state, being from the kilns Of the
Hebron Fire & Pressed Brick Company
and the fine stone trimmings are from
the quarries of the Kettle River Stone
Company of Minnesota. The glass
front is the handsomest in the city and
is different from any yet put in Oakes.
The building was built by our pioneer
builders and contractors, Ritterbush &
Son, and is being finished by our pioneer
painters and decorators, Marsh & Son.
It is q good piece of work throughout.
On stepping inside you behold an
entire new set of store fixtures. Ma
hogany finish cases and shelving, floor
show cases with white marble trimming
fine marble tiled floor with its fancy
dots of green, yellow and red, mirrors on
every side present an appearance not
heretofore exhibited in an Oakes drug
store. A new American Jr. lighting
plant has been installed and the entire
building will be haated with hot water.
The building Is also wired ready fol
electricity when that up-to-the-min'
ute system is inaugurated in Oakes.
The rooms upstairs are being finished
for living rooms for the family. DR.
B. E. Ryder has purchased the Harris
residence at the corner Of Union ant
Fourth streets.
The new drug store is = credit to th.
city and Mr.. Harris is to be congratu
lated in the completion Of such place
in which to conduct his business. Hi
sons-in-law, DR.. Ryder and w. H. Boyt
have had much to do with planning an,
directing the work and take just prid'
in the completed work. They too ar
to be congratulated.

Science.
Science has taken another long step
ahead in the discovery Of veroforE:.
an antseptic that is nonpoisonous. Dut
more potent than carbOllc acid or cor.
rosive sublimate In destroying all
forms Of disease germs. IT was n
great day in warfare when the torpe-
do boat was invented. but 1t was II
greater day when the torpedo boat de-
stroyer was introduced. SO In med
ical science, while It was triumph
when the germ theory of disease was
discovered, this triumph went into to-
tai eclipse when germicides powerful
enough to annihilate the germ armies
were found.
Formaldehyde largely superseded 9th
er antiseptics and disinfectants be-
cause Of its greater destructive effect
and safety. Like carbolic acid and
corrosive sublimate, however, it causes
intense irritation owing to the pres.
ence of formic acid. Veroform IL q
solution of formaldehyde gas freed
from formic acid by process of sa.
ponlfication.
The Pasteur institute. whose voice Is
that of final authority in such matters,
In a report ON this discovery says that
''veroform is perfect antiseptic. 1t
exerts powerful bactericidal action
on the most obstinate forms of bac-
terra, such as those of tuberculosis"
Records of suicides and accidental
poisonings show that carbolic acid Is
responsible for more fatalities than all
other poisons put together Veroform
will end this menace by providing
against the ravages of disease germs.
