ment.
If you were to hack your finger or scald
your arm, you would apply some healing
remedy as soon as possible, wouldn't you ;;
That would be good common sense ana
it would bring the quickest relief. You
surely would never think OF drinking
medicine or doctoring the blood to cure
a surface affection. >,
It's Just the same principle with diseases
of the skin. Eczema, psoriasis, salt rheum
and BARRIERS itch can be cured and cured
easily if you strike right at the trouble as
YOU do with cut or burn. :.
The cause of itching, burning skin dis
eases according to modern science, IS a
germ which feeds upon the weaker parts
Of the skin. To kill these skin baciill
which produce the itching sores and ugly
red blotches, use the famous prescription
of oil of wintergreen, glycerlne and thymol
commonly known as ID. d. ID. Prescrlp-
ton. This mild liquid was advocated by
a prominent skin specialist, DIR. Dennis
of Chicago, long before it was adopted
generally. This liquid is called D. D. ID.
Prescription. 1t is positive specific for
all skin diseases.

pEAlh WATCH OVER NOAH

A Bismarck dispatch says that
death watch has been placed over Rob-
,ert 8. Noah of Kenmare, who is under
sentence of death at the state peniten-
tiary to be hanged on Oct. q.
When the proposition came up to de-
eide the constitutionality of the law re-
quiring hangings to occur at the peni-
tentiary, Noah is said to have been in
great hopes that the law would be set
aside and that he would be taken to
Minot to be executed. He wanted the
privilege of the trip back there and
have the chance to see some Of his ac-
quaintances in Ward county. But now
that the supreme court has held the
law valid and that his execution will
occur at the pen it has agitated him
somewhat. ta.&,:...,
;, 1t is also claimed as his time of life
shortens his brooding oyer the matter
has effected him to some extent and
that he does not display as much nerve
az he did while he was being tried for
the murder he committed when he
killed his neighbor3 farmer near Ken
mare. -7r5@ &E 49,.

ROADS PAY some $500

BY Enforcement Of Old Law Requiring
Railroads. to Pay License for Their
Ticket Agents at IS Per Head, Secre-
j tary Of State BIaisdelI Pulls Down 5000.
A Bismarck special says that some
time ago Sec. Blaisdell notified all of the
railroad companies operating in the
state that the law requiring ticket
agents to have q license would be en-
forced and that the railroads would be
compelled to comply with the provisions
of this law. which has been on the stat
ute books of the state for twelve years.
It was a law the railroads were in
strumental in having passed by the
legislature for the sake of keeping
scalpers from operating here. After
the law had been enacted the Northern
Pacific and Great Northern complied
with the law and saw to it that nearly
all their agents were supplied with the
required license issued by the secretary
Of state, but the 500 had never COM
piled with the law, and when notified

by Secretary Blaisdell replied that they
had never been notified that it was re-
quired that they should have license
for their ticket agents and didn't know
such a law was in force, but that they
would, however. comply promptly and
forthwith made application for a license
for every agent of their road in the
state. f.
The Milwaukee road until this year
never. operated in North Dakota very
extensively, but since their line through
the new counties in the western part Of
the state has been constructed several
new stations have been established.
Both the 500 and Milwaukee have now
complied with the request of the secre-
tary of state and as result nearly
$500 has been added to the treasury Of
the state through this one notice to the
companies, and from q law that had to
some extent been allowed to remain q
dead letter. |,

FUTURE PRICE OF WHEAT

President James J. hiu Of the Great
Northern Road Says the Staff Of Lie
Has Ceased to Be Cheap-Greater
Future for Good Wheat.
That 80 cents is to be the lowest
price for high grade wheat in this
country hereafter, says Crookston
special, was predicted by Chairman
James J. Hill of the Great Northern
railroad in speech here yesterday at
the dedication of the state secondary
high school for agricultural students.
Mr.. Hill donated the site upon which
the school was built and was the chief
speaker at the dedicatory exercises.
In his speech Mr.. Hill said:-"I be-
lieve we have seen the last day in the
history of this country when wheat
will be cheap. Hereafter No. l
Northern will bring 80 cents, which it
worth at present and even more If the
soil is properly cultivated"
Speaking of the needs of agricultural
education, Mr.. Hill declared the only
hope of this country is in the develop
ment of scientific farming as the soil
is so largely occupied that the plan of
merely adding new acres to farm to in
crease its output is no longer feasible.

death has been in the newspapers from
the Twin Cities to the coast.
y. Mr.. Coyle desired to serve a sum-
mons on Smuntean, and he was not
aware of the fact that he had been muir
dered. Smuntean was known by sew
eral different names. Some people
spelled his name Montan, and his name
was familiarly pronounced Mon tan

summons, Coyle never dreamed that he

Mr.. Kern's elaborate chin thicket, and
each of these hair bearing tails will go
some on his ticket.
The frost will paint the sassafrass a
deep and glowing red, and the farm
hand will resume his howl for blankets

rheumatic will put on his wind-proof
underwear, the southwark moving
ducks will quack upon the. reeded lakes,
and man will line himaelf inside with
buttered flannel cakes.
The women will parade beneath the
sky-scraper hats, and guy lines strung
to steady them will anchor in their rats;
and every time the wind blows brisk,
with many screams and squeals, they'll
all turn turtle and will fan the azure

The poor hay fever patient will return
from his retreat, and every time his
nose goes off and honks upon the street,
we'll scramble for the nearest curb as
fas: as we can dart, believing that his
lusty sneeze is some skidoodle cart.
The candidate will press his suit and
tell his little jokes while he is handing
out cigars they name for famous folks;
and notwithstanding all the harm this
sort of smoke has done us, we'll all
waltz up again and try his deadly Mrs.
