 branches of the service have decided to request an increase in wages. The reasons therefore. are the increased earning abilities of each en1ploye: the difference, in higher wages paid to other occupations wherein scon-para- tive responsibility. extra hazard and length of the work day do not enter: the constant demand made on the mental and physical health of the em- ploye: the employment of young men. with the certainty that none of them can expect employment if he loses his position after he has reached the age of thirty-hve; the exacting physical uemands nade on men enf erfng the service. which equals those of the army or navy; the right to be paid wages sufficient to allow the empioye to save something each year to compen- sate him for the depreciation of his mental and physical machinery; the right to maintain his customary stan dards Of living with the increased costs thereof and the belief that the railroad companies can afford to pay their employees better wages because. according to reports. they are earn ing more money for the companies.
 The earning capacity of each tran and yard employe has been increased. just how much is difficult to esti- mate, for conditions vary on different systems But if Is safe to say that each employe in America Is handling three times more tonnage in a given time than he did fifteen years ago. while the comparative number of train and yard men has been reduced about have not increased in any such pro- portion

CHILD KILLED IN
A TRAGIC MANNER
SEVEN-YEAR-oLD GIRL AT SAN
BORN MEETS DEATH ON A
REVOLVING SHAFT.

Valley City, N. D., Oct. ia very
sad accident occurred at Sanborn,
when a little 7-year- girl of L. B.
Sutten a painter at that place, was
killed by whirling about a revolving
shaft and beaten to death. In the
course of some changes on one of the
local elevators a shaft was left pro
jecting about three feet from the
ground. The little girl and several
companions were riding the revolv-
ing shaft. The wind blew her skirts
about the shaft when 1t became her
turn to ride and the rapidly revolving
piece of steel beat her against the
ground with fatal results before the
engine could be stopped. When she
whirled under tho shaft on each revo-
luton, her head and shoulders struck
the ground and many of her bones
were broken and she was injured in
ternally. She died about ten hours
after the accident and was buried
today.

Kidneys Cured by This Simple
Treatment

Get your druggist to mix the follow
ing Ingredients: One-half ounce fluid
extract Buchu, one ounce of compound
fluid Balmwort and two ounces of syr-
up SarsarpariIla compound. Shake
well and take a teaspoonful after each
meal and one when retiring. Drink
plenty Of water, but little of any liquid
at meal times.
The great urinary specialist, Gaut,
whose single fees range from $500 to
$1,000, acknowledges in his latest re-
ports that this simple mixture is most
reliable and will cure all but the most
complicated and aggravated kidney
and bladder affections and rheuma-
tism; therefore, 1t is well worth try
ing.
Putting under the eyes, backache,
headache and dizziness, burning of the
eyes, blurred vision extreme nervous
ness, and insomnia all indicate urinary
trouble. Many more symptoms could be
named, but the reader will surely rec
ognize them.

ADVICE. TO WOMEN
A Message from q Famous Beauty
Specialist to Women Lacking in
Energy and Vitality.

Thousands of women vainly attempt
to improve their compilations and to
remove blaekheads, crows feet and
other blemishes, through the use of
cosmetics. This treatment fails be-
cause the trouble lies far deeper than
the skin. They are suffering from
impure and impoverished blood. This
condition is in many cases due to
catarrhal condition Of the whole sys-
tenn which finds its expression in
sallow, muddy complexion, dark
circled eyes, general weakness of the
system, and perhaps most plainly in
the weeping of mucous membranes
that Is commonly called catarrh.
In fact this whole tendency is, prop
erly speaking, Catarrn Danish this
catarrh. and the complexion will clear
as If by magic, eyes will brighten.
faces become rosy and shoulders erect
Perfect beauty goes only with perfect
health, and perfect health for women
can only be obtained through one cer-
tain treatment-that which will cure
catarrh.
Nine. Swift, New York. the famous
beauty specialist known throughout
the WUEuQf anu OH dICGpAc0 dulAlOIity
on all relating thereto, states that the
one positive and permanent relief for
catarrh is Rexall Mucu- Tone. Here is
her letter:
II can strongly endorse the claims
made for Rexall Muco- Tone as cure
for systematic catarrh. Its tonic eff
fects are remarkable. 1t builds up
the strength and restores vitality. If
women who are tired and run down
lacking in energy, and vitality. Will
use Rexall Muco-Tone, they will
praise as / do its strengthening and
healing qualities"
Rexall Muco- Tone works through
the blood, acting thus upon the mu-
cous cells--the congestion and in
flammation OF which causes local ca
tarrh. This remedy causes poison to
be expelled from the system, and the
blood Ii purified and revitalized Thus
the natural functions of the mucous
cells are restored, and the membranes
are cleansed and made strong. We
know that RexaIl Muco Tone does re-
lieve catarrh We positively guaran-
tee to refund the money paid us for
this remedy in every case where the
user is dissatisfied. 1t is a builder

RUNAWAY BOYS
ARE ROUNDED UP
PAIR OF LAKOTA YOUNGSTERS
CAPTURED AT DEVILS LAKE
AND SENT TO THEIR
HOMES,

Devils Lake, N. D., Oct. 19.-Yester-
day afternoon Chief of Police Barnes
sent two boys, Adolph Sandlie and
Ross Ordway, to Lakota, from where
they had ran away from their homes
the night before. Chief Barnes had
been phoned to- soon after the boys
left home to watch out for them and
send them back. The boys are only
IL and IA years old and when Mr..
Barnes found them on the street Sun
day morning they were only too glad
to let him send them back and could
hardly wait for the train for Lakota
which was due at A o'clock.
The boys had an idea they were
being misused at home and thought
they could do better for themselves,
but when picked up the next morning
they had already arrived at the con-
clusion that they were mistaken.

PRESBYTERIANS
AFTER GUILD HALL
BIG ENDOWMENT FUND WILL BE
RAISED TO SUPPORT INsTI-
TUITION AT STATE UNI
VERSITY.

Grand Forks, N. D., Oct. 19.-At the
Presbyterian synod of North Dakota
which has been in session in James
town the past few days, the plan of
constructing a guild at the state uni
versity in Grand Forks was approved
and committee appointed to take the
work in charge. The plan calls for
the construction of a $4,000 dormi-
tory building with chapel or church
as one of its features. In addition
the institution is to have an endow-
ment fund of $4,000. The work pro-
posed is much the same as that of
the Baptists of North Dakota.
Rev. w. II. Matthews OF Grand
Forks, Prof Brannon Of the university
and Rev. d. M. Mcintosh of Park
River are the members of the COM
mittee and they have been given the
power of increasing the membership.
They were in Grand Forks yesterday
looking over the ground for the pur-
pose of making arrangements to pur-
chase lot for the structure.
Internationally, the North Dakota
Presbyterians have taken d big for
ward step. Conditions at the James,
town college, which opened this year.
are very favorable and the prospects
are that it will be very successful. The
trustees of the institution were named.
This movement has been contem-
plated for some little time Ait the
recent meeting OF the Pembina Pres
bytery in this city the proposition was
approved and went before the state
synod with that recommendation. The
plan is much the same as that adopted
by the Baptists recently although for
the present, the work of instruction
has not been determined upon.
