Fargo, Aug. 25.-The state conVen-
ton of the Prohibition party assem-
bled in Cass county court house this
morning and turned down motion
tc indorse John BuLe for governor.
The motion to indorse Burke
brought out lively discussion. M. Fl.
Kiff led the discussion in opposition
to any such move, and stated that he
believed that at the present time the
wisest move would be to simply in
dorse the national ticket, name presi-
Dental electors SO that the voters of
the state would have an opportunity
to cast their ballots for the Profibi-
ton candidate. @,
The nomination of presidential cleo
tors was the cause of considerable dis
cussion, and the convention was nat
sure that they would be able to get
the names recognized by the state,
officials. II
| The men namel above were nomi--
mated without opposition, and the Off
cials of the party will take the steps
necessary to get them recognized and
the name of their candidate on the;
state ticket. 1t is believed that they
can do this by petition.
Chain Gives Short Talk.
Eugene w. Chain, the presidential
candidate of the Prohibition party,
was present, and he was called upon
for a few remarks. He gave the con-
vention a short heart to heart talk, in
which he spoke very plainly.
Bryan Woul Quit.
He said that if the five Prohibition
states of the south would come out to-
morrow and show that they would
cast their electoral votes for the Pre-
hibition candidate this fall, that Bry-
an would withdraw from the race in
side of ten days, because without
those five states he would know that
he'was defeated. He said further that
if it was certain that the three Prohi-
; bition states, 1000 Prohibition coun.
ties and 10000 Prohibition towns in
the north would declare for the Pro
hibition candidate also that he would
be elected. He said that it was the
t Prohibitionists of the Prohibition
: states that elected the whiskey tickle:
as he calls everything but the Prohi
: b,tion party.

The Proper Care + the Hair

A luxuriant head Of hair well kept is
glory to any woman. Whether dark or
light, it has ever captivated the hearts of
men. To secure and maintain such
charm is a worthy ambition.
The crowning glory appears at times
to be the crowning sorrow. Probably
there is no point of her beauty that wor-
ries the average woman more than does
the care and culture OF the hair. This
rushing age is literally wearing it out
turning it gray and causing 1t to fall at
an alarming rate. Just because the spirit
of the time keeps nerves at so high
pressure that the hair suffers in conse-
ouence, as a rule very nervous people
have little hair, while their phlegmatlc
neghbors are blessed with masses. The
stolid, simple living European peasants
derive considerable income from selling
the uxuriant tresses of their daughters.
A poor profit there would be in disposing
of the scant locks of highstrung Ameri-
can girls. Now as long as you will be
highs strung and will be American, and
nobody would have you anything but
what you are, you must needs care for
your hair all the time. This is burden,
but il is the only way out of the difficulty.
You must fight falling and gray hairs
persstently and wisely. These afflictions,
as well as excessive dandruff, are the
fruits Of an unhealthy condition Of the
scalp and are usually caused by defective
circulation and want of nutrition. Dry
brittle. lifeless hair needs full, free circu-
laton Of the blood, through which it re-
ceives nourshment.
Senile caluits (baldness) is caused from
a general loss of power in the scalp, the
hair follicles participating in the general
weakening of the nutritive functions.
Badness may be caused by debility or
acute disease, the organs which secrete
the hair usually remaining entire, though
inactive or dormant. Thus the nutritiye
functions Of the hair follcles becoming
weakened, it becomes necessary to excite
the capillary circulation through the scalp
n order to restore new strength and vigor
To accomplish this the scalp should be
heated with good tonics and electric mas
sage.
Is your hair falling9 Are you suffering
from dandruff9 Just as sure as you have
dandruff, itching Of the scalp, just so sure
is your hair coming out and eventually
you will be bald. If you are having any
kind Of trouble with your scalp, come tc
us and we will help you out Of your trou-
BILE. All work strictly confidential.

steadily gaining until there are more than

Of the population of Michigan, are living

degree of strictness.
The latest states to pass prohibtory
laws affecting the entire state are Ala

In an article-"Llquor Legislation All
Over the World" the American Review
of Review says: Questions of domestic
economic interest that are of particular
concern to Englishmen are the old age
pension proposals of the Liberal govern
ment and the liquor legislation, which the
administration has promised to bring
about. The provisions of the licensing
bill, under consideration by the Liberia
government, have not been made public
but are said to mark an advance IN legis-
lation of this kind
1t is worth while noting the progress
made during the year just passed through
out the entire world in the matter Of lega
restrictions upon the traffic in intoxicants.
First it mentions Chinas opium edict
next, French legislation against alcohol
ism; then the Roumanian regulation Law
and the severe legislation on the SAME
subject by the Spanish Cortes.

There were about thirty members Of
the high school classes of 10000 came
together in an annual banquet at Hotel

young people in their best attire, on their
best behavior and with their store OF wit
and humor, which bubbled over all the
time, surrounded with fine decoration
and the class colors much in evidence.
presented a scene of beauty and JOY
forever.
1t was the seniors reception to the jun
iors and the latter we're never received so
we'll in all their lives. The stairway lead
ing to the parlors and the rooms were
beautifully decorated, the class colors
predominatlng The red carnation was
the class flower The Juniors coors were
maize and blue and the seniors green and
white.
There was something doing all the time,
for what a merry lot of bright, active
young people can't think of there isn't
much use for others to try.
When the banquet was announced there
was grand march to the tables and
prettier picture was never seen in the
dining room when the company were all
seated. The service of the most excellent
menu was followed by the toasts. Miss
Ona Wright was introduced as toastmis-

in delightful manner Leonard Howe's

slow in showing how to set right one in
all lines.
Vivian Smith responded to the toast,
Rocks and Snags," and told in very
neat way how to avoid the many we en-
counter along the way Of life.
Earl Schlegel made fine little talk on
"Hlt and Miss" and he didn't miss hitting
the mark every time nor missing hit at
every turn.
Dean Face made more out of the toast
"If" than many an older head could; If he
didn't keep his classmates guessing It
was certainly caution Norma Loewe
in her class romance, gave the members
fine write-up in a very romantic and
appropriate way. The last toast on the
program. but not least by any means
was given by Thomas Bracken, jr., on
High School Sports and there was nc
one in the crowd who could have done the
toast to better brown than he. He hit
some of the boys every time, not making
miss, and his jabs were very witty. max

share Of the roasting and toasting.
Every one of the speakers was roundly
applauded for their efforts. 1t was q

Attorney George Bardon, Judge West

the hunting in the vicinity of Miller
is the best that it has been for years,
and that the ducks have been driven
off of the lake in the past few days
and onto the swamps. The old time
sportsmen say that the recent cold

that 1t has been years. Nearly half
the town of Miller yesterday donned
their hunting Jackets, and enjoyed the
sport. 1t is said that there were so
many ducks that they could be pur-
