A Startling
Statement.
New York Medical Au-
thorities Claim Dyspep-
sia to be a Pre-Dispos-
ing Cause of Con-
sumption.

The post mortem statistics Of the big
New York hospitals show that some cases
OF consumption are due, at least indirect
ly, to unchecked dyspepsia, especially
when the victim was predisposed to tuber-
culosis.
Dyspepsia wears out the body and
brain. The weakened, irritable stomach
being unable to digest food, the body does
not receive the required nourishment, and
the victim becomes thin, weak and hag-
gard. As result, the body becomes q
fertile field in which the germs OF disease
may lodge and flourish.
There fore, the person who permits dys-
pepsia to progress unhindered is guilty OF
contributing toward the development OF
one of the most insidious and fatal dis
eases known to mankind.
Dyspepsia may be completely ersdicated
II properly treated. We sell remedy
that we positively guarantee will COM
pletely relieve indigestion or dyspepsia, or
the medicine used during the trial will
cost the user nothing.
This remedy has been named Rexall
Dyspepsia Tablets. Certainly no offer
could be more fair, and our offer should
BE- proof positive that Rexall Dyspepsia
Tablets are dependable remedy.
Inasmuch as the medicine will cost you
nothing If it does not benefit you, we
urge you who are suffering with indiees-
tion or dyspepsia to try RexalI Dyspepsia
Tablets. A 25-cent box contains enough
medicine for fifteen days treatment. For
chronic cases we have two larger sizes, 20
cents and 100. Remember you can OBJ

Why does Great Britain buy
its oatmeal of US?

Certainly it seems like carrying
Goals TO Newcastle to speak OF export
ing oatmeal TO Scotland and yet, every
year the Quaker Oats Company sends
hundreds OF thousands of cases of
Quaker Oats to Great Britain and
Europe.
The reason is simple; while the
English and Scotch have for centuries
eaten oatmeal in quantities and with a
regularity that has made them the
most rugged physically, and active
mentally of all people, the American
has been eating oatmeal and trying all
the time to improve the methods of
manufacture so that he might get that
desirable foreign trade.
How well he has succeeded would
be seen at glance at the export re.
ports on Quaker Oats. This hand ;s

would be willing to accept a nomina-
tion at the hands of convention, who
would not care tn place themselves in
the position of seeking such nomina-
tion before the people and even if they
did would still hesitate long time
before they would risk time, labor,
money and above all the chagrin of
public defeat. Just at this moment
there are score of good men in this
county who would like to get position
in county office for the ensuing two
years, who would be willing to, ask
their own neighbors to endorse them
at a county convention, and if defeated
there would go home and never think
more about it and il nominated would
be elected and fill the position with
credit. But under the present primary
system of nomination no one will ev,
know that they were candidates even
in their own minds.

Postmaster Leighton of Cavalier has
had his share of family trouble all
come at once. Mrs. Leighton went to
see after her daughter whu was at the
Valley City Normal and the ph hyslcian

waiting over for the train at Fargo,
Mrs. L. fell and broke her ankle. Mean

The Chronicle got very angry with
the Independent because it
called some of it's county. seat
removal stuff "Balderdash." But the
Chronicle this week says that it pur-
posely printed "fairy tales" and "bub.
bles". Now it would seem to be up to
the Chronicle to define the distinction
between fairy tales and balderdash.
Anyway unless he puts label on them
how are people to know the whichness
of his editorial matter.
Editor falrchild had something to
say about "a fluffy editor of the Chron-
otype"a 'sThe little rosewater essayist
but recent emigrant from Cactus
Center, Manitoba, the gum chewing
rendezvous of the Kings domain n'-and
other things like that. The Chrome
type mildly acknowledges the "luffy"
but says ''it is better to be fluffy and
young in experience than to be hardened
in error. We can get over what ails us,
but there is no hope for the editor of
the Chronicle' there YOU are.

A SIGNATURE is A VOTE.

Sometimes good method of settling
the right or wrong of question is to
carry it to extremes and then see what
the answer might be.
For instance, suppose number of
interested people objected for certain
reasons of their own to the present pen
alties for horse stealing. Suppose these
people should get up petition to the
legislature to submit the question to
the people at large as to whether such
penalties should not be abolished and
the business of horse stealing be made
an honorable profession.
We know from experience that such
a petition would be signed by many
persons without thought, simply be-
cause somebody asked them to.
Others might sign it ON the ground
that it would do no harm to have a
vote on as 1t would certainly be voted
down. Others though opposed might
say, "it is only fair to give them a
chance to vote. This petition does not
settle anything in itself.'
But, this sort of sophistry, would
deceive but very few-when it was a
question of horse stealing-though we
fear that many who would not sign a
petition to vote on the question of max
ing horse stealing legitimate will de.
ceive themselves or allow others to
deceive them with exactly the same
sort of arguments when it comes to
signing petition for the removal of the
county seat.
If you are opposed to horse stealing,
If you are opposed to the removal of
the county seat at this time, then for
identical reasons you should refuse to
sign either petition.
It takes two different votes from the
taxpayers to move the county seat, one
on petition and one at the polls.
Really the most effective vote is made
in the first instance. But one is Just as
much vote as tho other.

A FAIRY BUBBLE.
Cavalier Chronicle.


In it's last weeks issue the Chronicle,
gave the amount of the total assessment
Of Pembina comnty for 1909, following
which we wrapped up few meaningless
figures as to the tax cost for proposed
new court house and dropped them IN
to the column as bait for the Pioneer
Express Editor. OF course these figures
we're of the fairy kind, sent out to
bring forth something original and pos
siblely sincere from Editor Wardwell on
the additional tax per cent question
connected with county seat removal, be.
fore any real shots on the subject should
be fred from this quarter. We expect
this fairy bubble will serve it's purpose.
In the commets of the Pioneer Ex.
press on Editor Fairchild's figures on
the cost to each taxpayer for the build
ing of the new court house IN Brynjolf-
son & Laxdal's Addition to Cavalier we
were charitable enough 10 think that
he had made an error in his arithmetic,
but after the above cool confession that
it was not mistake but deliberate
falsehood uttered purposely to deceive
We are certainly astonished. Hereafter,
when you read it in the Chronicle you
must remember that he acknowledges
that he deliberately writes ''fairy tales
as he calls them-but which can more
easily be spelled in three letters land
give them credence accordingly.
In this connection, we who have
been reading Editor Fairchild's stuff
for more than score Of years. give it as
our positive opinion that Editor Fair
child never wrote the original article
anyway, excegt possibly from dictation
or others manuscript.

overlooked. Some very interesting
things took place throughout the
game. Reed says that it wasn't the

They Dassn't Trust Her.

This story going the round of the
press relates a lack of confidence
not applicable to the fair sex in the
lake country: A young man out
motoring with his girl came to a
stream and both got out to gather
flowers. Presently small boy
came up to the man and said in a
low voice, "Is that your girl?" 81
guess it is" was the reply. ''Well,"
said the boy, tell her to go home. Z"
What for?" Cos, us boys want to
go in swimming" The young man
stated the case to the girl, who re-
piled, Il must pick a bouquet first;
tell the boy / won't look The
girls message was delivered and
after long consultation among the
boys, the messenger returned and
said: 'The fellers say they dassen't
trust er."-Spirit Lake Beacon.

A Domestic God.

When economy becomes the chief
end and aim of existence, a sort of
domestic god, before which all must
bow down, the happiness of the
home is likely to be sacrificed.
Every expenditure that would give
pleasure is held in allegiance until
such time as the family feel that
they "can afford it," and as a rule,
this time never comes and the pleas
ure is relinquished.
Mr.. Taft's method of a long and
strong pull altogether seems to get
more progress in a given direction
than some folks dynamite bombs,
which merely elevate the obstacle
up in the air against the scenery.

ball, only it made him feel kind of
stiff. Mr.. Winch, who in former
years was a champion ball player
in that neck of the woods, showed
up in good shape, although being
somewhat out of practice, and be-
ing famed twice by Brickner he
managed to bag two scores for Burr
Oak, which was the average. He
says Brickner is some" pitcher
and he wouldn't mind batting but
hated to get hit every inning.
Brickner says hitting MIN was easy
and he somehow or other couldn't
resist the temptation to do so. Burr
Oak had five different pitchers
throughout the game, while DEBORAH
kept Brickner and Qualley as their
battery. Brickner pitched good
game and was a veritable second
Mathewson, winding up the game
with plenty of smoke to spare.
With Mart Karman of Harmony,
Mimi, E. r. Haines of North Da-
kota, SheetZ of Freeport, all of
whom were local Odd Fellows, and
the rest of the team being home
boys, we managed to pick out nine
of the best players in the order, five
of whom were court house rats"
In spite Of the high scores on both
sides and the errors made. the game
was interesting and no kicks were
made at any time, not even on the
umpire.
After the game was over every
one went to the hall where another
bountiful spread was set before us.
An hour or SO was then taken UP in
card playing, visiting, ETC., before
the dance took place. About 8
O'Clock the floor was cleared and the
majority of those present enjoyed
themselves in dancing until nearly
IL O'Clock, when the DEBORAH dele
cation was invited upstairs to par
ticipate in another luncheon. After
this, another hour or so was passed
in dancing and then ended our pic
mic and social gathering. Good or
der was kept throughout the day
and evening by the appearance of
Messrs. Mizener, Qualley and
Blaess, all local Odd Fellows. The
DEBORAH delegation voted the Burr
Oakers royal entertainers and many
thanks for the fine treatment.
