Proprietary Medicines Described by
Doctors

Examination of the formulary de-
partments of leading drug stores
throughout the country has proved
that a very large percentage of the
prescriptions filled for doctors are
proprietary medicines.
This is because the aveage doctor
of today is unable to devise prescrlp-
tions equally as efficacious.
Such standard remedies as Lydia
f. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
are prescribed over and over again
by fair-minded physicians through
out the country.

AN APPEAL FOR
CLEANLINESS

.Wahpeton is by no means
tie dirtiest City in the Coun-
try-lt has in fact a reputation
for being a city of "Homes''
and it has numerous beautiful
spots within it's limits, but
there is an opportunity to
greatly improve on the present
conditions. and the purpose of
this article is to appeal to the
property owners and citizens
in general to make it their dutv
(Which should be a pleasure)
to clean up and beautify the
city. The Civic Improvement
League and the Commercial
Club are working with the City
Council toward that end.
Alley, back yards. front yards
and the street adjoining your
property or the property you
are living in should be cleaned
up without delay and kept
clean throughout the year. The
City Council will give more at
tention this year than hereto.
fore toward cleaning up the
City. Tut the finances of the
City will not permit of great
expenditure for this purpose,
tor the reason that the expense
thus incurred would be chare-
ed back to the Citizens in taxes
and under any circumstances,
it is to individual an effort of
the Citizens, that we must look
for a cleaner and more beauti-
full Wahpeton.
SUGGESTIONS
Keep street abutting your
property clean from weeds bv
use of sharp spade, get at the
work early and it wont prove a
difficult task.
Keep lawns and trees about
your property neatly trimmed.
Fix up boulevards to conform
to city ordinances.
Keep street cutters opened
up in good shape to prevent
pools of water about your pro.
perty.
If you cannot burn your gar
bage, then provide suitable
covered can or barrel, and have
same hauled away at intervals.

BY the construction of this
road, Portland and Columbia
River basin, in connection with
the Northern Pacific Railway,
are placed in much closer touch
with Spokane, the center of the
Inland Empire; with the Pal
ouse Walla Walla regions, and
with Lewiston and the country
tributary to the Snake and
Clearwater Rivers.
This part of the United
States lies between the Cas-
cade Mountains on the west,
and the Bitter Root Mountains
on the east, and is a great area
where 5o,o3o,C0O bushels pf
wheat are produced annually,
and where they are manye&-

and opportunity for more.
When Lewis and Clark made
their trip from the Mississippi
Valley to the Pacific coast, they
tried to follow the lines of the
least resistance by way of the
Missouri River to it's headwat-
ere, thence over the Rocky
Mountains by the last trails
known to the native Indians;
to the headwaters of streams
that are tributaries of the Co.
lutnbia River; thence down the
Clearwater and Snake Rivers
to the mouth of the miehty.Co-
lumbia.
The Northern Pacific Rail
way, in it's original plans, con.
templated a line to Puget
Sound over the Cascade range,
which was built, and also a
line down the Columbia River
about where the new Spokane
Portland & Seattle road now
goes. In the year 1905. the con.
struction of that part of the
new road from near Pasco to
Vancouver was begun, and this
road has been constructed with
a maximum grade of only 2 OF
per cent between Pasco and
Portland. The same grade i.
used eastwardly from Pasco
O.O9 miles, from which point
the line to Spokane diverges,
and on this the maximum
grade is only A of 1 per cent.
The maximum curvature on
the line is only 8 degrees and
the road is built in the mos,
modern. first class manner
with IS pound steel rails, heavy
ballast and adequate facilities
of all kinds, 80 that as the coun.
try grows, the road will be in

and sometimes show We generally
have a pretty good time.
One day it rained pretty hard, and
then stopped and the sun came out.
There is ditch about 100 feet from the
school house and several of us boys
went out to the creek, and there were
a lot of oranges coming down with the
current. This creek comes through an
orange grove and some of the oranges
had washed down. Nearly all of us got
our feet wet trying to get the oranges
out Of the creek. There was one boy
fell in up to his waist, and the teacher
had him go home. When we got
oranges out we would take them up
stream Always and throw them in
again, and then follow them down and
try to get them again.
When it rains on Saturday I gener-
ally stay in the house and read or help
mamma. One day mamma said could
make lemon pie. So 1 got the recipe
down and began making the pie. Once
or twice I had to ask mamma some
thing, but at last 1 got through with
it, and when I took it out of the oven
all the frosting was dried off, but we
ate it anyway. RAY LAMAR.

: Aunt Laurie

Dear Aunt Laurie:
When it is raining very hard l have
to stay in the house. My brother and
/ have some books to read. The name
of my book is Uncle Bob. 1t is a very
good book. The name of my brothers
book is Terry. 1t is very good book,
too.
If it is not raining my brother and I
go down to the barn and get upon the
hay. We play hide and seek and chase
each other all around till we are very
tired.
Then we go up to the house again.
Sometimes when it is raining very
hard my brother and play marbles on
the floor.
I like to see the water run down the
ditch. The water is SO deep that we
can't get across it with a horse and
buggy. The water runs down across
the road by our house. If it is raining
very hard sometimes we can't go to
school. I have very good times on
rainy days. FRANK HUNT,

Learning to Cook


Dear Aunt Laurie:
A rainy day is always the best time
for studying lessons, for then there
are no visitors to disturb me.
The many rainy days in the past few
weeks have given me a chance to put
all of my things in order. 1 have
burned up and thrown away every
thing useless and have provided place
for everything and intend to keep
everything in its place. 1 won't have
to turn things topsy-turvy, for when L
want something 1 know in a moment
just where to find it.
/ like best to sit by the crate fire
and read story books WI IN it storms
outdoors, for it is so comfortable in
doors. am sorry for the poor animals
that must stand in the rain day and
night, but am glad that the rain
means horn of plenty for all the peo-
pie of California.
During the rainy days / have spent
good part of my time in the kitchen
learning to bake and cook Your loving
niece, MAUDE EDWARDS.
