was a rather queer fact, also, that
the leaders of the prohibitionists of
the state were generally in favor of
the maintenance of the drug permit
system, and were largely responsible
for the passage of the present law,
placing the issuance of permits in
the hands of district judges. In sew
eral of the districts of the state no
permits for the sale of liquor have
geen granted under the new law, or
since July /. We have had no tes-
timony pro and con, but the newspa-
pers of these districts do not bring
us news of many sudden deaths, COL
lapses, or critical illnesses and slow
convalescenses because of the impos-
sibility of obtaining liquor as medi-
cine. 1t may be of course that per-
sons have been critically i'll and have
died because of the failure to issue
permits, but nothing has been pub
licly recorded. Is it possible, after
all, that the use of liquor as medi-
cine is not necessary and that the
drug permit law is superfous?

LIVES LOST ..27
An Awful Toll Collected by consump-
tion.. Many Unnecessary Deaths
From This Disease g.
LIVES LOST

If people could only understand that
systemic catarrh is an internal di-
sease that external applications can
not cure, they would not need to be
warned so often about this malady,
which, when neglected, paves the way
oftentimes for consumption, at the
cost of millions of lives every year.
Yet catarrh may be cured, if the right
treatment is employed.
Catarrh is caused by general d.
seased state of the system which
leads commonly to annoying and per
haps serious local conditions, which
may prove a fertile breeding ground
for germs of consumption. External
remedies give but temporary ease.
The only way to successfully treat
catarrh is by employing medicine
which is absorbed and carried by
the blood to all parts OF the system.
SO that the mucous membrane or in
ternal lining of the body is toned up
and made capable of resisting the in
lection of consumption and other
diseases.
:, We have a remedy prepared from
the prescription of a physician who
for thirty years studied and made
catarrh a specially and whose record
was a patient restored to health in
every case where his treatment was
followed as prescribed. That remedy
Is Rexall Mucu-Tone. We are so posi-
tive that it will completely overcome
catarrh in all its various forms, whe-
Their acute or chronic, that we promise
to return every penny paid us for
the medicine, In every case where 1t
fails or for any reason does not salts
fy the user. .
We want you to try Rexall Mucu-
Tone on our recommendation and
guarantee. We are right here where
you live, and you do not contract any
obligation or risk when you try Rex
all Mucu-Tone on our guarantee. We
have Rexall Mucu-Tone in two sizes,
so cents and $500. Very often the
taking of one so cent bottle is suffi-
cient to make a marked impression
upon the case. OF course in chronic
cases longer treatment is necessary.
The average in such instances is
three $500 bottles. Remember YOU
can obtain Rexall Remedies in Bis
marck only at our store--The Rexall
Store. Lenhart Drug Co. =. (.

USE FOR THE NORTH POLE.
Z. c. Pickering Suggests a Weather
Bureau Station There.

Professor Edward G. Pickering, d.
rector of the Harvard college observa-
tory at Cambridge, Mass. says that
or Cook actually reached the pole it.
self and suggests using the north pole
rs q United States weather bureau.
Professor Pickering says:
Z, whether both Commander Peary
and Dr. Cook have actually stood on
the spot that represents the northern
end of the earth's axis is of no real
importance to science. With the In
btruments they carried the best that
could be expected is that they have
been approximately at the north pole
or, say. a mile or so from the spot.
THE delicate observations and cal
citations necessary to determine the
exact position of the pole can never be
made until a meteorological station Of
some sort is established near the pole,
and think the United States govern
sfnent could best take full advantage of
the splendid work of these two ex-
plorers by sending up into the north a
floating meteorological station aboard
a ship equipped like Nansen's Fran
that could enter the arctic ice pack and
In three years drift across the region,
while body Of scientists on board
made the observations and collected
data. - ...
.E More than this, think that now
that the public interest Is aroused Il
would be well to remember that the
United States government could keep
"a floating station Of the weather bu-
reau always In the polar region b.
sending two or three ships out ut In.
