Kodol supplies the same digestive
Juices that are found in healthy
stomach. Being liquid, 1t starts
digestion at once.
Kodol not only digests your food,
but helps you enjoy every mouth1ul
you eat.
You need sufficient amount OF
good, wholesome food to maintain
strength and health.
But, this food must be digested
thoroughly, otherwise the pains OF
Indigestion and dyspepsia are the
result.
When your stomach cannot do its
work properly, take something to
help your stomach. Kodol Is the
only thing that will give the stom-
ach complete rest.
WhyP Because Kodol does the
same work as a strong stomach, and
does it in natural way.

For Dyspepsia and Indigestion

So, don't neglect your stomach.
Don't become . chronic dyspeptic.
Keep your stomach healthy and

POULTRY YARD
Getting Ready For Winter. Care
of Chickens and Other
Poultry.

This is the time Of the year when
every good poultry keeper is planning
for winter. BY November, at the
latest, the winter quarters for the
hens should be- prepared and the fowls
made thoroughly comfortable for
their five months confinement. This
will in many cases mean a cleaning
out and renovating of the old hen
house, the battening up of cracks,
replacing OF broken windows, the re-
moval Of all filth, and the application
of disinfectant is necessary and ex-
pedient. Most poultry houses in our
North Dakota climate should be we'll
banked with stable manure and
many OF them in addition should re-
ceive a coat Of tar paper to keep out
the piercing winds that sweep across
our prairies.
Culling the flock to it's proper size
so that it may be accommodated in
the poultry house is a task requiring
much thought and care. The flock
has been greatly augmented in num-
bers by the years crop of chicks. A
severe yet careful selection should be
practiced as only the best birds de-
serve places in the laying pens. Too
many farmers are in the habit of re-
tanning the old stock and letting
most Of the young pullets go. Such
a course may insure good breeding
flock but from the standpoint of egg
production it is poor practice. Only
the best of the two and three year
old hens should be reserved for breed
ers. The most profitable year for the
hen is her first one and as many of
the best pullets as there is rot m for
should be kept for winter laying.
The older hens cannot be depended
upon to lay during the winter
months when egg prices are high and
egg production is at low ebb. Over
cro"ding in the pens. however,
should be guarded against as each
laying hen should have approximate
ly five square feet of room. Given
dry well-lighted, roomy quarters with
plenty of clean wholesome food and
the hen will show her appreciation
with an ever ready cackle and regu-
lar contribution to the egg sket.

HOW IT WORKS IN MISSOURI,

In Missouri the primary election
law was tested this year and the r.
suit was unexpected The majt rity
party had factional fight the sane
as in North Dakota. In Nj sLu.i
the republican candidate won owing
to the i'll feelings in the democratic
party. Commenting on this the Far
90 Forum says:
In this state, G. A. johnson, the
successful republican nominee, got
more votes than the combined total
of his opponents-bothi in and out Of
his party-but was defeated at the
general election.
In both North Dakota and Miss
ouri it must be conceded there is
some weakness IN the primary law
under the provisions of which the
dominant parties nominate candi-
dates for governors by large majori-
ties-but can not elect them at the
polls.

BULL, BONES
Indians Superstitions Keep Old
Warrior S Remains in Fl.
Yates Grave.

In speaking Of the removal of the
dead from Fort Yates old cemetery,
and the reason that Sitting Bulls
remains were not taken with the
other bodies of reds and whites, the
St. Paul Dispatch says:
The white undertaKers of St. Paul,
who have been moving the bones of
dead Indians from Fort Yates, N.
D., an abandoned military post, to
Keokuk, Ia, will not disturb the re-
mains of famous Sitting Bull, war
chief of the Sioux, and an uprising
of the tribe has been averted by the
tactful handling of the situation by
army officers and special agents of
the Indian service. The remains of
fourteen braves have been transfer
red to Keokuk. The bones Of those
remaining will be left where they
are, and the keen superstitions
the Indians has proven of such great
weight. that the white man will not
touch what is mortal of Sitting
Bull.
A portion of the remaining braves
Of tire Sioux have suggested in nego-
tiations which have been in progress
for ten days, that ultimately they
desire that Sitting Bulls remains be
transferred from Fort Yates to a
spot on the Grand river in the heart
of the ancient range of the Sioux,
where the war chief was killed. The
place where he fell has been marked
by the Indians and is held to be
sacred ground. The consent of all
the Sioux has to be obtained before
this can be done. since the govern
ment's experience recently has con-
vinced army officers that bloodshed
will follow any action with reference
to the remains of the chief, which
does not meet the approval Of the
braves still living.
The Smithsonian Institute and the
historical societies OF both North
and South Dakota have asked the
government for the remains of Sit.
ting Bull. No action viii be taken
on these requests in view of the re-
cent troubles with the Indians, who
believe that white interference will
be followed by tribual calamaties and
the vepgence of evil spirits upon
their braves.

THE pLowE LAND CASE DECIDED

A case Of considerable interest to
the older residents of the county has
been decided by the Fargo Land
Office in favor of the claimant, Mrs.
Laura M. Plowe, heir of Elzie D.
Strong. deceased, who made final
proof for a quarter section of land
situated in "a l43 81 In "the hills. :"
The case has been contested by the
government on complaint of some
one not known, who alleged that le-
gal final proof had not been made on
the land. Testimony was taken some
weeks ago in this city, the testimony
being very voluminous and covering
details running back to 1895 when
the original claimant. Mr.. Strong
began to occupy the land. The unus-
ual feature Of the case was that Mr..
Strong failed to file on the land as a
homestead until four years after he
frs: took possession of the claim, and
this feature seems to have caused the
government to doubt the validity of
the proof.
The evidence that had great weight
in determining the case was the re-
cord of q dairy kept by Mrs. Plowe
during the years involved in the res
idence required to make final proof.
This diary noted times when Mr..
Strong had gone to the farm, and
showed evidence Of good faith in his
taking the land as a homestead, and
not as ranch, which the govern
ment maintained.
Final receivers receipt will be is
sued for the claim. Jas. A. Murphy
was the attorney for Mrs. Plowe.
There were 81 pages of testimony
taken in the case.

MinOt Man Writes Letter and
Discusses Causes of
Defeat.

Hon. u. A. johnson OF M1nOC, IN q
personal letter to number OF friends
through the state, expresses his
thanks for their support through
the campaign and his qualification
at their loyalty and confidence. He
feels that he. did his best to bring
about Republican success in the mat
ter of the governorship and says that
his chief regret is in the disappoint-
ment the result of the election brings
to the thousands of friends, who
stood by him in the campaign just
closed. Mr.. johnson says in his let
ter:
"The election returns indicate that
I am few thousand votes short of
being elected governor of this great
state. AS devoted all the time, en-
ergy and means l could command to
bring about republican success. and
feel that 1 could do no more, the on
ly regret have is the disappointment
that my defeat will bring to the
thousands of friends v no stood loyal
ly by me during the entire campaign.
"The campaign just ended vas
without doubt the most intense and
sensational in the history of the
state The democrats, encouraged
by the victory of two years ago, CEN
tered their entire fight on retaining
the governorship, and in this they
have succeeded.
81 might mention few of the
causes which I consider might have
contributed to my defeat. The dem
ocrats had we'll organized and dis
ciplined Committee in nearly every
county Of the state, while the repub
licans due to recent factional differ
ences, we're in many instances disor-
ganized and distrustful of one an
other. Tie senatorial fight was one
of the greatest factors in keeping Up
discord within the ranks of the re-
publican party, and during the last
week of the"campaign, became to- a
large extent the paramount issue.
This ~as taken advantage of by the
democrats, Who only had one fight to
make, and that vas to re-elect the
governor. One great obstacle 10
overcome was the feeling on the part
of many republicans who became in
terested in the present governor two
years ago, that having made good he
was entitled to another term.
"1n my home county of Ward there
were four new county propositions to
vote on. All ambitious little towns
