GIVING THE BABY CASTOR OIL
This Is How It's Done, or Rather Not
Done, by Mamma,

This Is How It's Done, or Rather Not
Done, by Mamma.
To castor-oil a child from two to
seven years of age requires three or
four strong women, spoon, a mag.
mum of the fluid, lump of sugar, a
towel, jumping-jack, and a seraphic
temper. The first notion is to ring in
the medicine on the unsuspecting babe
thinly disguised in milk. The %manou
yer failing, you parley with the enemy,
and attempt to corrupt its infantile in
tegrity with brides of pas watch, i'm.
perial revenues Of small change, and
number of oranges.
After having tempted it, put the
spoon to it's lips; it refuses point-blank
to touch the nasty thing. Thereupon
your surcharged Indignation finds re.
lief in corporal chastisement of the
rebellious infant Peace being re-
stored, you bring up reinforcements,
and, strategy and diplomacy having
failed, determine to accept nothing
but unconditional surrender, and pre-
pare to march at once on the enemy's
works.
A grand combined attack is made.
The left wing firmly holds the child's
hands; the right wing pinches it's nose,
| so as to compel 1t to open it's mouth,
in which the center pours a deadly
| fire from the spoon. Meanwhile, the
reserves hold up lump Of sugar, com.
misseratively exclaiming:
Poor little tootsy-pootsy, was II
nasty stuff, them" and keeps the towel
ready
| The baby rolls and chokes The
young mother, afraid of killing it, lets
go it's nose; the infant, catching
breath, discharges the whole dose
upon her dress, and follows I'D this
advantage with SO heartbroken yell
that the attacking party surrenders al
| discretion, and calls it:
Poor injured mammie's own tootsy
and it sha'n't take any more nasty
castor oil If it don't want to-"
A treaty of peace is then ratified
| whereby the infant wins the day, to
gether with bountifdl supply Of
| sweets.

The Wisdom of Experienee.

The Wisdom Of Experience.
There was no doubt in the minds Of
the Hobart family that young James
had a remarkable gift. 1t remained
for an obscure uncle from the Cape to
drop word of caution and of worldly
wisdom
you say he's wonderful farseeing
and can tell folks just how things are
going to turn out?" he inquired.
Eyes, it seems so," said James ador-
ing mother.
well, now, if you want him to be the
most unpopular man anywhere round,
you just let him foretell and prophesy
and forecast" remarked the old uncle
grimly. IF you want him to keep a
few friends you must shunt him off on
to some other track. Let him work out
sums in his head. That's a harmless
practice
But why?" faltered the mother.
Just this" answered the authority
from down on the Cape. 'When he
prophesies things II go wrong and
they do go wrong the heft of the blame
will be laid straight on his shoulders.
When he says they'll 60 right and they
do folks III be too busy enjoying them
selves to remember your James. And
when he says they'll go wrong and
they go right they'll call him fool.
Now. I'm above seventy, and you mind
what tell ye"-Youth's Companion.

nate, Friday, May /, as Arbor day for
this state, as day set apart for the
planting of trees and shrubbery. /
recommend the planting OF trees and
shrubbery in school yards and public

EAT WHAT YOU WANT.
Science Now Has Found the True
Way to Cure Indigestion.

The first thing to do in the case OF
indigestion of stomach weakness is to
strengthen the muscular walls of the
stomach and intestines so that they
will care for the food that it seaten
In no other way can this be done as
well as by taking a Mona tablet be-
fore each meal. This restores the
strength to the stomach muscles and
stimulates the pouring out of gastric
juices, so that the food digests readily
and it's nourishment is retained in the
system to build up energy and vital
ity.
Use Mona and you will have nc
more sick headache, heartburn. bad
taste in the mouth, coated tongue
spots before the eyes, sleeplessness
and the many other symptoms that are
the direct result of indigestion.
Lenhart Drug Co. gives with every
5Ocent box of Mona a guarantee to
refund the money unless the remedy
cures.

ARsoR DAY PROCLAMATION

Inere mas never DeSn IN the history
of the world such widespread interest
in forest culture. To save their vine.
wards and orchards, France and Italy
are now reforesting their water sheds,
while in our own land the best au.
thorities claim that in 25 years our
forests will be exhausted. The rapidly
disappearing forests have caused our
government to set aside as national
forest reserves large tracts of timber
which are under the care and super
vision of the government.
Our state should not be behind the
times in this great movement. Ours
is prairie state, an agricultural
state, and the influence of trees and
forests in producing and conserving
moisture, in breaking winds and in
tempering the climate, is we'll known.
North Dakota does not need forests
for lumber and fuel alone, but it needs
forests also for the great benefit that
they are to agriculture.

reader would not run on to one Of
these in a hundred years, and if he did
he would run the other way.
1t is interesting to know that the
entire alphabet can be arranged in one
Ineligible sentence without the repe-
tition Of single letter-just twenty
six letters in tn following sentence,
and no two alike:
J. 9. Vandz struck my big fox whelp.
That simple sentence is the hardest
possible one to write on the typewriter.
So many of the letters in the alphabet
are used so seldom that even good
typist has to study out the combina-
ton before finding some of them. This
sentence is the only known one that
contains every letter in the alphabet
but once and makes sense.
Another interesting word group in
which the entire alphabet is put into
seven words and only thirty-two let
tiers are used is: Burst, fed, jingle,
quip, vim, hack, zyxomma." This is
the smallest number of words that the
alphabet can be included in.
Two ineligible sentences, however,
Of eight words and thirty-two letters
apiece have been found. They are:
Quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.
Pack my box with Ave dozen liquor jugs.
The first sentence is often used in
testing the types on typewriters on ac-
count of the shortness and the fact
that it includes every letter and has the
advantage of making sense.
Here is list Of the longest mono
syllables In English:
Seven letters, through; eight letters,
strength, thoughts, starched, thrilled,
straight, squalled, schnapps; nine let
ters, strengths, squelched, scratched,
splotched, stretched.
Probably the most interesting word
curiosity is the one made up Of the
greatest number of other words in the
regular sequence. That word is in
discrimination. In-disc-rim- in-at-i-on
contains seven words and is only six
teen letters long That is allowing a
fraction more than two letters to each
word, and only one word is repeated
Here are two that have six separate
words within the one:
Ass-ass-in-at-i-on-
Assassination.
In-fin-it-at-i-on-
Infinitation.
There do not seem to be any that can
be split up into five sensible parts, but
here are several quads:
In-sat-i-ate-
Insatiate.
ASS -sin-ate-
Assassinate.
In-vest-i-gate-
Investigate.
In-it-i-ate-
Initiate.
Two three-part words that make
sense when the parts are taken sepa-
rately are:
Together
Together.
Innocent
Innocent.

| curious things. This is only small
