In small bed surrounded by ferns and
delicate mountain plants stood some spe-
cimens of the papyrus, several Of them
very hardy and apparently in flourish
ing condition.
TT was the papyrus, you know" said
Mr. Smith. MASKING one Of the delicate
leaves in his hands, and exhibiting the
long fibrous strings. that paper was
made from. 1t possesses a splendid fiber
and 1t is used yet for making the thin
paper for cigarette wrapping"
Probably the most varied and SNOWY
exhibit of the gardens is that of the
palms. They are arranged on either side
Of the central walk running east and
west and from gate to gate. About 200
varieties OF the palm are exhibited out
of between $50 to 500 known specimens
The palm collection represents specimens
contributed from practically every corner
of the globe where the palm will thrive
Some of them are exceedingly rare. In
fact. several plants pointed out as palms
seemed quite like miniature pine trees or
evergreen bushes.

in them?' Ma Smith was asked.
It's the eccentrictty OF the species

In an equity case tried and ap
pealed under the provisions of R. G
section 1929, statement of the case
is not required to enable this court
to review questions appearing on the
record proper.
The sole question which the ap

lates to the rate of interest which
plaintiffs are entitled to recover.
Held, that the findings Of fact o
the trial court discloses that plain
tiffs had no cause Of action at thu
time this action was commenced ant
that in any event the rate allowed
by the Judgment below exceeds the
amount called for by the contract be

MISSIONARY WIFE:
PRAISES CUT|CURA
Daughters Head Encrusted with
Dandruff- she Would Lose
her Hair-many Treatments were
Futile Baby had miIk-Crust.
BOTH CHILDREN CURED y.
BY FAMOUS REMEDIES

For several years my husband was
a missionary in the Southwest, and we
were living on the edge Of the desert at
an elevation Of nearly five thousand
feet. Every ono in that high and dry
atmosphere has moro or lem trouble
with dandruf and my daughter's scalp
became 20 encrusted with It that was
alarmed for fear she would lose ill her
hair, which was very heavy. After
spending between five and ok dollars
for various remedies, in desperation I
bought cake Of Cuticura Soap and Z
box Of Cuticura Ointment. After rub
bling the Cuticura Ointment thoroughly
combed the crust Of dandrl6 free from
thorough shampoo with the Cuticurs
clean and free from dandruff, and after
the hair was dry: again rubbed the
into the roots, and I am happy to say
that the Cuticura Remedies were .
complete success. My troubles with
dandruf were over. although for long
time afterward used the Cuticura
Ointment as at first, after shampooing,
which kept the scalp and roots Of the
hair moist. I have used successfully
the Cuticura Remedies for so-called
'milk-crust' on baby's head, and have
never found anything to equal them.
You are at liberty to publish this letter,
for do sincerely believe that the Cuti-
cura Remedies are a blessing to man.

simple CURE FOR
STOMACH TROUBLE

If what you just ate is souring on
your stomach or lies like lump OF
lead, refusing to digest, or you Deicn
gas and eructate sour, und!gested
food or have a feeling of dizziness,
heartburn, fullness, nausea, bad taste
in the mouth and stomach heaaache-
this is indigestion.
A full ease of Pape's Diapepsi1 costs
only so cents and will thoroughly
cure the worst case of dyspepsia, and
leave sufficient about the house in
case some one else in the family may
suffer from stomach trouble Or indi-
gestion.
Ask your pharmacist to snow :ou
the formula plainly printed on these
50-cent cases, then you will IEder-
stand why dyspepsia trouble Of all
kinds must go, and why they usually
relieve q sour stomach or indigestion
in i've minutes. Get a case now nd
eat one Triangule after your ,lext
meal. They are harmless and taste
like candy, though each contains pow
er sufficient to digest and prepare for
assimilation into the blood all the
food you eat; besides, it makes you
go to the table with hearty, healthy
appetite; but, what will please you
most is that you will feel that your
stomach and intestines are clean ind
fresh, and you will not need to resort
to laxatives or liver pills for bilious
ness or constipation.
This city will have many Diape9sl1
cranks, as some people will call them,
but you will be cranky about this
splendid stomach prescription, ton, II
you ever have indigestion or gast:itis
or any other stomach misery, and .ai
just one Triangule of Diapepsin.

KEEP THE KIDNEYS WE'LL.
Health is Worth Saving, and Some
Bismarck People Know How to
SavA II

Save 1t.
Many Bismarck people take their
lives in their hands by neglecting the
kidneys when they know these or
gans need help Sick kidneys are
responsible for vast amount of
suffering and i'll health, but there is
no need to suffer nor to remain in
danger when all diseases and aches
and pains due to weak kidneys can
be quickly and permanently cured
by the use Of Doan's Kidney Pills.
Here is a Bismarck citizens recon-
mendation:
Mrs. James Wallace, sos Third st.,
Bismarck, N. D., says: my husband
had occasion to use Doan's Kidney
Pills two months ago and the good
results he obtained, warrant me in
recommending them. For some
months he suffered from a severe
pain through his back which at
times radiated to all parts of his
body. Finally he learned Of Doan's
Kidney Pills and procured a box at
Lenhart Drug Co. The results were
very gratifying and in short time
he received a complete cure"

SHOULD HAVE TWO
Rock Island County Farmers Depriv.
ing Themselves in Matter
Of Institutes.
HENRY SETS GOOD EXAMPLE
Enterprise of Neighbors Suggests An
nual Meetings in Both North
and South Ends.

The Henry county farmers institute
session. There are four institutes held
annually in Henry county, and the
county institute is alternated among
the four separate organizations. That
is, the state aid given for institutes is
taken advantage of at one of four
points in the county annually. The
other three organizations hold insti-
tutes also, paying their own expenses
This is the plan which should be fol
lowed in Rock Island county. AS The
Argus has repeatedly pointed out, the
farmers of this county are virtually
given an institute but once in two
years, the meetings being held alter
nately in each end of the county in
alternate winters. Owing to distance
and lack of transportation facilities, it
is virtually impossible for residents of
either end of the county to go to the
other end, and practically none but
the officers do so.
Should BE Two Organizations.
A complete organization should be
maintained in each end of the county
and each should have at least one in
stitute every year. The state fund
could be used alternately. The ex
pense of such meetings is small, com
pared with the benefits derived. I'm
der present conditions interest natur
ally Tags during the interim of two
years. Should each end of the county
have an annual institute, each would
without doubt be better attended thar
| the one meeting now held is, and the
corn and other contests would be more
generally participated in.
There is no good reason why Henr,
county farmers should be more pro
gressiye than those of this county
Now is a good time to meet and tall
