Suffrage or Race Suicide.

Mrs. Catherine Wayie McCullogh.
lawyer and a Justice of the Peace in
Chicago, asserts that women are justi-
fed in refusing to bear children un-
til they have equal rights in the
guardianship OF their offspring, She
told the girl students in Downer Col
lege that it took the women of Illinois
thirty years to have the laws OF that
State changed so that mother and
father have an equal right to their
children, and pointed out that only
by the same kind of hard and unceas-
ing effort could women hope to gain
equal suffrage. She expressed her
self as against the militant methods
of the English Suffragettes until IL is
seen that other means have failed.
Her plan is publicity and work. She
would food the stage with suffragist
plays, the newspapers with vote for
women" articles, editorials and poems,
the mails with postcards calling for
the ballot and public meetings and dis
cussions at all times,

Instead it swallows up what slight

KEEP YOUR BOWELS
REGULAR
in NATURES WAY.

If your bowels did not move for week
or ten days you would be down sick. It's
the same result, differing only in degree,
when your bowels do not move regularly
at least once every day. You become con-
stipated, your blood gets bad, and you feel
sick all over. To avoid such serious con-
ditions take Smiths Pineapple and Butter
nut Pills. They will drive bowel poison
out of your system and establish regularity.
These little pills are purely vegetable and
work wonderful results in one night.
Remember that bowel poison is tn edirect
cause of slow, wasting fevers, loss of mem
ory, female weakness, nervous prostration
and general debility Bowel poison leads
on to misery and death as surely as consti-
patton or heart disease; the well-advised
use of Smiths Pineapple and Butternut
Pills will cure and establish bowel, stomach
and liver health. Sick at night, well in the
morning. Physicians use and recommend.
They form no habit You should always
keep them on hand. These little Vegeta-
Bile Pills will ward off many ills.

N. DAKOTA'S
OPPORTUNITY
States Leadership In Popula-
ton Gain Big Thing
Commercial Clubs Should Get
Together and Boost

Washington, Dec. 16.--North Dakota
has been getting some mighty good adj
vertising of late-advertising that
money cannot buy. In short practi-
cally every newspaper in the country
within the past few days has chron-'
icled the fact that North Dakota is
among the first Ave states to lead In
population gains during the past ten
years also that the state now ranks
thirty-six in population and within
few thousand Of edging South Dakota
out Of thirty-five position. Nevada
also is included in the first five but
no one pays any attention to Nevada
and for that reason North Dakota
really stands fourth.
Needless to say North Dakota's rise
has caused no end Of comment
throughout the country and of course
nothing but good should come to the
state as a result. Much, however, will
depend on the way the business men
and especially commercial clubs take
hold Of the proposition of still further
advertising the great inducements
North Dakota offers to the farmer, and
business man not to mention the man.
ufacturer
1t would seem that now is the time
for federated commercial clubs of the
state to begin their publicity campaign
throughout the United States. They
should strike while the iron is still hot
and If they do the prediction is made
that they will reap a rich harvest in
the way of foreign capital and i'm
migration.
Perhaps the state will cooperate
with the business men in the move
ment to stimulate a greater develop
ment of the commonwealth. Perhaps
the legislature can be induced to make
an appropriation to be used In furth-
erance of this campaign for foreign
capital and immigration and every
thing that goes toward the building
Of a greater community.
Other states have carried on cam
paigns of this kind and have extended
their work into Europe always being
careful to solicit only the best class
Of immigrants. What has been the re-
suit? Not only have thousands of i'm
migrants been induced to answer the
call but capital has followed in the
wake and two birds have been killed
with one stone.
Let the people take advantage of the
opportunity that is thus afforded them.

HOW TO DESTROY The
DANDRUFF GERM
BY a Specialist.

THAT the dandruff germ is respon-
sible for nearly all the diseases to
which the scalp is heir, as well as for
badness and premature gray hair. Is
a we'll known fact, but when we rea-
lie that 1t is also indirectly respon-
sible for many OF the worst cases of
'catarrh and consumption. we appreci-
ate the Importance of any agent that
will destroy It's power. We are, there
fore, particularly pleased to give here
with the prescription which an emil
nent scientist and specialist states he
has found, after repeated tests, to
completely destroy tho dandruff germ
In from one to- three applications. This
prescription can be made UP ct home,
or any druggist will put it up for you:
8 ozs Bay Rum, 2 ozs Lavona de Com
posee', " Dir. Menthol Crystals, Mix
thoroughly, and after standing half an
hour 1t is ready for use. Apply night
and morning. rubbing into the scalp
with the finger tips. If you wish II
perfulned, add half a. teaspoonful OF
ToKalon Perfume. which unites per-
fectly with the other ingredients. This
preparation is not a dye, but In nm
equalled for promoting . growth OF
new hair, and for restoring gray hair
to it's original color.
CAUTION: DO not apply where hair
ID not deslred, and be sure to avoid
tonics containing poisonous wood alec
hol.

Two COUNTIES
ARE ESTIMATED
BURKE AND RENvILLE coUN.
TIES EVENLY DIVIDED AS
TO POPULATION.

Bismarck, N. d., Dec. 16.-State
Auditor BrightbiIl and Commissioner
Of Agriculture GiIbreath have made
some estimates OF the new counties of
Burke and Renville and have esti-
mated the population at 1854 for
Burke county and S,032 for Renville.
The estimate is made up from the
school census which was recently talk
en- and then comparisons made with
the government census which has just
been announced. With the subtrac-
ton Of Renville and Burke counties
from old Ward it leaves that county
with 25,36S.
The census for Divide county il
being figured out now and Messrs
Brightbill and Gilbreath think they
will be ready to announce that in a
few days
1t will require a different basis to
figure on that county as there has
not been a school census taken YET,
but it will probably be worked out
from the census that has been taken
of the Williams county schools.
The census as pronounced will prob
ably be Incorporated in some new
maps being published by the commits
sioner and for use in some diagrams
being prepared by the state auditor.

N. D. CENTENARIAN
BREATHED HISLAST
PERE LARIVIERE, WHO RoAMEp
PRAIRIEs OF NJ. .. IN PIo-
NEER DAYS, DIED THIS
WEEK.

Langdon, N. D., Dec. 16.-Louis La
riviere, the Olga centenarian, whose
Tooth anniversary of his birthday was
most flttingly celebrated by the people
OF that vicinity last March, died this
week at the home of his grandson,
Alex. Lariviere, with whom he has
made his home for some years past.
Grandpa Lariviere had roamed the
virgin prairie of the northwest from
Minnesota west to the Rocky noun
tains in his younger days and was
one Of the party Of French voyageurs
sent by the Hudson Bay Co. into the
then unexplored farthest north of
Alaska half a century ago.
His passing away was entirely due
to the decay of an advanced old age,
as during his long life of hardship and
exposure he was proud to claim free
dom from sickness and disease.
He was born at st. Philippe, Man,
March 6, 1910. Six of his nine sons
and daughters survive him, residing in
North Dakota and Manitoba, and 1t
is recalled that at the celebration of
his one hundredth, birthday at Olga
LIST March, there sat with him at the
banquet table over one hundred of his
direct descendants to the fourth gen
Grafton. Had he lived until Thursday
of next week he would have been en-
abled to make final proof upon a
homestead upon which he filed few
years ago in the western part of this
county near Clyde. Last week when
his approaching dissolution became
apparent his ante-mortem statement
regarding the making of proof on the
claim and disposition Of his other
earthly affairs were attended to in
legal form by his friend Judge Dorval
The funeral held yesterday at 10
O'Clock was attended by a large num-
Der as a mark of respect to the high
regard in which Grandpa Lariviere
was held by the people among whom
he had lived during the greater part
OF the last half century.

toes, onions and similar vegetables are
wanted in the place of grain, it having
been shown conclusively that these
products can be raised with success
here. To promote the proposition the
city council has granted a franchise
for right Of way rights to the proposed
