To Buy Cows for Farmers.

Ito Buy Cows for Farmers.
Hettinger Headlight: The CONNER
cial club met in special session on
Wednesday evening and, as usual, &C
complished something that will ad-
vance the interests of Hettinger. The
proposition before the meeting> was
that OF furnishing money to the new
settlers Of this section with which to
purchase dairy COWS. It was pointed
out that with a creamery being es-
tablished in this city there should be
no opportunity lost to increase the
number of dairy COWS in the tributary
country and that while nearly ali of
our farmers are agreed that the
creamery is the stepping stone to
their prosperity that some of them
are not in position to invest in the
necessary number of COWS, just at
this time.
r.. Cashier o. 3. Severson of the
Adams County State bank and Vice
President Newman of the First Ma
tional were in attendance at the meet
Ing and after the matter had been pre-
scented to them they stated that any
farmer with reputation for honesty
and industry could secure funds for
the purchase Of cows. Other members
of the club also signified their will
ingness to assist financially in stock
Ing the farms of Adams and Perkins
county with good COWS and the club
as whole decided to correspond with
eastern parties with view to getting
several carlods Of cows shipped to
Hettinger.

PREVENTING PAINT TROUBLES.

It's easy enough to recognize the
symptoms of poor paint, after it has
been on. aWhile-afte Its inherent
tendency to crack, and peel and scale
and blister, etc., has developed into
trouble. You know these paint dis
eases" usually indicate adulteration
or substitution in the paint materials.
And you know the only remedy is re-
painting.
A little knowledge of paint and
painting requirements. and how to
make sure of the purity and quality
of materials, would prevent all trou-
BILE, and save the big extra expense OF
re-painting; just as proper knoWl-
edge of simple health-laws, and OBJ
servance of them, prevents sickness.
A complete painting guide, includ-
ing book of color schemes, speclf1-
cations for all kinds of painting work,
and an instrument for detecting adul-
teration in paint materials, with di-
rections for using it, can be had free
by writing National Lead Co., 1902

BILINGUAL IN GESTURES.

American Who Can't Speak Spanish,
Without the Help Of His Arms.
There is man who from a. very
early age has lived in countries
where Spanish is the almost universal
tongue. From force OF this training,
he speaks Spanish perfectly.
He has not the slightest trace Of
an English accent and persons who
do not know that he Is of American
parentage are willing to believe he
is a Spaniard, merely from hearing
him talk. He is so perfectly bilingual
that it shows even in his gestures.
When talking with English speak
Ing persons he sits quietly and does
his conyersing with his mouth alone
Only in case eff making a point most
emphatically does he use gesture.
But the moment he drops into
Spanish his every word is accom-.
panied by movement of the hands
Or arms. 1t is interesting to watch
the change from the English to the
Spanish side of him, because it comes
30 suddenly. He really can't speak
Spanish without gesturing. - New

LESS MEAT
Advice of Family Physician.

Formerly people thought meat nee
essary for strength and muscular
yigor.
The man who worked hard was
supposed to require meat two or
three times day. Science has found
out differently.
1t is now a common thing for the
family physician to order less meat,
as In the following letter from a N,
Y. man:
1 had suffered for years with dys-
pepsia and nervousness. My physi-
clan advised me to eat less meat and
greasy foods generally. l tried sew
eral things to take the place of my
usual breakfast of chops, fried pota-
toes, etc., but got no relief until
tried Grape-Nuts food.
After using Grape-Nuts for the
cereal part of my meals for two
years, l am now we'll man. Grape
Nuts benefited my health far more
than the $4,000 worth of medicine l
had taken before.
My wife and children are health
Ter than they had been for years, and
we are a very happy family, largely
due to Grape-Nuts.
We have been so much benefited
by Grape-Nuts that it would be un-
grateful not to acknowledge it."

She became afflicted by playing with chill

large sores which were irritating. Her
body was complete sore but it was worse
on her arms and back. We employed a
physician who left medicine but it did not
help her and tried several remedies but
without avail. Seeing the Cuticura Rene
