NAPOLEON LOVED SINGING.

Napoleon has been described as al

and taking up the cello he tried to

Iona Lived Apple Tree.

How Oil can an apple tree grow I
have few of the trees planted by
Sconond1ai, the Oneida chief, with
Dominic Kirkland the missionary, in
1871. These trees, now considerably
more than 100 years old. still bear ali
abundance of fi;.,t. The wood is in
good condition notwithstanding many
years Of neglect.
The average age Of an orchard as
generally planted and cared for rarely
exceeds fifty years. l am inclined to
think ,lat the more sturdy sorts can
be made to exceed $50 years. In or.
der to attain such age there must be
a selection of varieties, and they must
be grated high up on tough stock.
Our fathers apple trees were grated
in the tops, but the apples planted in
these days are grated in the roots.
However, Gre must not cling too long
to an old tiee.

Let Kodol
Digest What You Eat. Then You Can Eat What
You Like

You once could eat anything you
wanted, and your stomach would
digest it.
But now there's some things which
your stomach won't digest. Your
stomach absolutely refuses to accom-
modate you when you eat certain
food-so you have been forced by your
stomach to eat food which YOU de-
tested. and pass up those delicacies
that you would have really enjoyed.
There is now a way to eat any
thing YOU like, if you will let
kodol digest it.
Kodol will do this, too. It won't
talk back or command, but will go
right ahead with its work and digest
all the food you eat. Kodol will let
you eat anything you like.
Kodol will do exactly what your
stomach does, when your stomach is
we'll and strong, and more, when it
is tired or out Of order.
Kodol is composed of exactly the
came juices as found in q healthy

GRADE WORKERS NUMEROUS.

The police department reports that
An unusual number of grade workers
aave been arriving in the city during
the past week, drawn here by the an
nouncement that the Northern Pa
cific will double track its line between
Billings and Huntley and the promise
of winters work. 1t is estimated
that over 200 men who follow the
grading camps are in the city, al
though the contract for the work has
not been let, and many of them are
penniless and are having hard work in
finding quarters to occupy before the
work begins. Every night some OF
them come to the police station, where
they are allowed to sleep, and the bit
ter cold of the past few nights has
been conducive in bringing many to
headquarters who might otherwise
have delayed their arrival until es-
corted there by an officer.

WILL UNITE TO
BUILD HOSPITAL
Joint Meeting of Boards of Health Of
City and County to BE Called
Soon.
LOCATE ON POOR FARM
Much Discussed Question of Location
of Contagious Hospital Is Settled by
Purchase of Clark Farm by the
County.

For the purpose of discussing the
erection of joint city and county
hospital for the treatment of conta-
gious diseases, meeting of the city
and county boards of health will prob
ably be called in the near future. 1t
is expected by the city officers that
there will be little trouble in coming
to an amicable agreement with the
county commissioners in regard to
the erection of the much needed build
ing, and that the structure can be put
up during the coming spring and will
be ready for use early next summer.
The fortunate freedom of the city
from any smallpox cases during the
past few months has tended to allow
the matter of the building OF con-
tagion hospital to replace the tempo
rary pesthouse destroyed in April to
lag, but it will soon be taken up by
the council, and it is expected that
theer will be no further hitch in the
matter until the hospital is built and
ready for service.
The purchase of the Clark farm, the
deed and abstract for which are being
prepared, by the county for poor
farm has brought about a happy So
luton of the location problem, and, in
case the county and city can reach an
agreement, the HOSPITAL will be erected
in some remote corner of the poor
farm, which is situated about two
miles east of this city. The exact To-
cation has not been determined.
Prior to the burning of the old pest
house the council secretly had plans
prepared for a contagion hospital, and
! it is likely that these plans, with some
slight alterations, will be adopted for
| the new building. The hospital will
/ be of thoroughly substantial nature,
of brick and two stories in height
and will be fitted up with the latest
appliances for the treatment of con-
giOuS diseases.
