ouRvM WHEAT.
Grows Where Other Kinds Won't
Makes Lots Of Muscle.


Makes Lots Of MuscIe.
There is steadily increasing pro
duction Of durum wheat in Northern
Minnesota and North Dakota and in
the arid or semi-arid sections Of other
states.
The big Touring mills have not as
yet adapted their machinery to it's
proper grinding, says the Minneapolis
Tribune. They find it too rich in
gluten and too hard for their present
installment of rollers. The elevator
men don't handle 1t freely because It
necessitates special bins. But the
exporters take it eagerly.
1t is sometimes called macaroni
wheat because its main use up to this
time has been for the manufacture
of macaroni. The French, however,
who are accounted the best cooks in
the world, have employed it quite .ex.
tensively In bread making, and It is
asserted that the bread made from It
Is most nutritious as we'll as light and
appetizing.
There is no reason why it should
not be. Gluten is a muscle former.
In 100 ounces of lean beefsteak there
are eighteen parts of muscle form.
ers. In 100 ounces of ordinary bread
there are seven to eight ounces of
muscle formers. in 100 ounces of DO.
tatoes two ounces. in 100 ounces OF
milk four, but in 100 ounces Of maca.
roni or bread made from durum wheat
there are said to be from eighteen to
twenty ounces of muscle forming ma
terial.
Admitting the food value of this va
riety, the temptation to the farmer
whose land is adapted to it to plant
it is almost irresistible. 1t is a plant
| that stands drought much better thar
other wheat plants. 1t is SO hardy
and thrifty that it is usually exempt
from rust and smut and bugs.
The average yield is high-often
from so to 100 per cent greater than
that of the old varieties of wheat
grown in the same district. 1t seems
certain that durum is destined to
prove blessing to the farmers in
sections where the rainfall is de
ficient or unreliable. 1t makes a
most nutritious feed for domestic ami
mails. upon which they will thrive and
attain degree of health that will
make them command high prices
eiter from butchers or stock fanciers

Bushes. Men pfs Bismarck Arc After
ITrads.
Through the efforts Of the Bismarck
Commercial club all that territory
south and west Of the river will be
brought into close touch and made
tributary to Bismarck.
This has been brought about by the
establishment of ferry across the
Missouri river at point about eight
miles south of the city.
For number of months the Com.
mercial club has been working on this
project, and it is now an established
fact. and the people of Bismarck will
fully appreciate this good work on the
part of this business mems associa-
ton.
The announcement of the successful.
issue of this matter was made at the
Commercial club meeting held last
week. An arrangement has been
made with Capt. Grant Marsh to run
the ferry. which will be traction
ferry, augmented by his gasoline
launch on windy days. The CONNER.
cial club has built house boat for
living quarters for the captain, and
the ferry will be placed in operation
as soon as the ice goes out.
The ferry will be at the old cross
ing until such time as the farmers on
the other side of the river can grade
an approach to the new crossing. To-
day President Conklin and Secretary
Young will make trip into the south.
ern part of Morton county and advise
the farmers Of the new ferry and
otherwise push the matter.
A committee of three members OF
the club was appointed to wait upon
the capitol commission and urge the
parking Of the capitol grounds along
lines, taken up with the last admins
tration, but which have been lying
dormant since then.
The matter of resuming the mark.
ct days was taken up and fully dis.
cussed, with the result that commit
tee will be appointed to take hold of
the proposition and arrange for
series of market days during the war
months. A number of conveniences
for farmers and their wives who will
bring in produce for sale will be pro.
vided and cash prizes offered for the
best in all lines Of agricultural and
dairy products SO that not only will
the good wife Of the farmer be able
to sell her farm wares at good price,
but will have a chance to compete for
a substantial piece Of money with
others and the farmers will compete
in the same way for the genuine long
green. The club is very much in
earnest in this matter, and the mer-
chants present expressed a determina-
ton to enter into the scheme and
help with special bargains ON those
days to the end that eventually the
market days will be bright spots in
each month to the farmer and the
trad asman.

A GOOD REASON
Bcnnettsville People Can Tell You
Why 1t Is So.

Doan's Kidney Pills cure the
cause of disease, and that is why
the cures are always lasting. This
remedy strengthens and tones up
the kidneys, helping them to drive
out of the body the liquid p%oisons
that cause backace, headache and
distressing kidney and urinary
complaints. Bcnnettsville people
testify to permanent cures.
II Goodwin, Broad ST., Ben
~ncttsville, S c., says: Several
months ago | strained myself while
lifting and soon after l began to
suffer from backache. If | stopped
quickly Or did any lifting, sharp
pains would dart through my back
and loins and force me to cry Oft.
At night | could not assume any
position that was comfortable and
therefore could not rest we'll. I was
bothered during the night by the
too frequent action of the kidney
sccrctions which | also noticed
contained q heavy sediment. The
use of n box of Doan's Kidney
Pills, procured from j r Douglas
drug store cured me Of these annoy
ances and / have not been bother
cd in any way since. I do not
hesitate to recommend such a
valuable remedy"

This committee was instructed to
80 direct to President Roosevelt,
If possible, and it was thought
best not to annoy our congress-
men with the mater as he was al
ready said to be working through
routine channels in conjunction
with the citizens COMMITTEES and,
also, as he was understood to be
under certain obligations that
might cause embarrassment. The
expenses Of the committee were to
be borne by the gentlemen taking
part in tho conference. made a
m ton that Messrs j w Rags

ger should be the members of this
committee. These gentlemen we're
chosen ard my name was added.
1t was useless for the committee
to 90 to Washington us a whole
without knowing when the Presi-
dent would see us or whether we
could obtain audience at all; there
fore we decided to send
one man to arrange for an inter
view and Mr. Rags d a e
was asked to 90, the others hold
ing themselves in readiness to- an
swer his summons. Before lcav-
ING Florence on the night of Jan
uary 10th, he had a conversation
with me in which he stated that he
thought courtesy demanded recog-
milton Of III representative in this
matter and that he would see both
Mr. Ellerbe and Senator Tillman
and would wire or write as soon rs
any decision was reached. On the
morning of the 18th Saturday |
received a letter from MIR Ragsdalc
dated January. 18th, stating that
he had talked with Congressman
Ellcrbc, Findlev and Lever and
their judgement was that an inter
view with the President was mex
pcdient and asking me to see DR.

in search Of DR. Hicks and found
that he had received telegram
from Mr. Ragsdale on Friday in

bearing on the case. In a CONVEX
sation during the next week-af-
ter his return from Washington
DR. Hicks told me that he, in com
nanv With Senator TiIlman and

that he took them personally in
