EAGER TO WORK.
Health Regained by Right Food.

The average healthy man or woman
Is usually eager to be busy at some
useful task or employment.
But let dyspepsia or indigestion get
hold of one, and all endeavor becomes
a burden.
"a year ago, after recovering from
an operation" writes Michigan lady,
my stomach and nerves began to give
me much trouble.
Eat times my appetite was vora-
cious, but when INDUCED, indigestion
followed. Other times had no appe.
tite whatever. The food took did not
nourish me and grew weaker than
ever.
IT lost interest in everything and
wanted to be alone. had always had
good nerves, but now the merest trife
would upset me and bring on a violent
headache. Walking across the room
was an effort and prescribed exercise
was out of the question.

but did not believe what read at the
time. At last when it seemed as If
was literally starving, began to eat
Grape-Nuts.

Upstairs Clara wept and fretted.
To think, only to think-scarcely ten
months married and it had come to ths All,
If only she had known! Were all men so cruel,
so bitter? Did nobody care for her? She
would go to her mother-No (Clara's reflection
came refreshingly COOL like splash of cold
water), MCDOWELL, not quite that! For one
thing, She knew her mother; and Mrs. Muir
ray-Linklater would pack her back to her
husband" Clara heard her mother speak these
very words.

quite remember what. But, at any rate, 1t was
over. She could never forgive him-for saying
that-yes about dear Aunt Laetitia. Oh, yes,
she remembered, that he could never get her
q single night to himself without some stalking
old shepatriarch with a reticule coming in to
spoil everything"
Clara would not have her family spoken
against-not by score Of Henry Moores. She
had been educated carefully in the Murray
Linklater cult, and no We're de We're could be
prouder of her name.
Clara, in her bolted bedroom, was getting
out her plotting book and pad to write to her
poor wrOnged aunt She going to ask
refuge for the few remaining days of blasted
life Yes, that was the adjective she was using,
and (strange coincidenceD the villain below
stairs was also using it, though perhaps in a
more colloquial sense He had just knocked
over whole pile Of the neat notebooks in
which he stored away his literary material, and
was passing off his own clumsiness in invec
tive against inanimate things. This was his
mans way of biting his handkerchief.
But the strong arm of coincidence reached
yet further.
Stumbling and grumbling Harry gathered
up the fruit of his travel experiences and be-
gan restoring them in the little three-cornered
shelves where he kept such things for refer
ence. Work would not "go" tonight, somehow
One remained in his hand-a small pocket note
book with rounded corners, which served to
carry about him for the shortest personal jot-
tings. Usually it lay among his keys on the
dressing table, and when he shaved he was in
the habit of putting down word or two-oh
as brief and bald as possible.
But this particular stubby volume happened
to be his diary of two years ago, and he stood
there with one hand mechanically pushing the
notebooks into their places, while his eyes, en-
tangled by what he read, transported him to
the ragged carpet, the peremptorily furnished
lodgings, the solitary walks, hands deep in
pockets, overcoat collar up, cap pulled low

Clara doing?
She had got out her plotting book from un-

rack, bending the corners shamefully. And so,
when at last Clara had released the folio, lo!
a cascade Of solidly built volumes in red basil
clattered to the ground. She had just time
to spring back; for the volumes had solid brass
locks all opened with the same little gold key.

Watkins the Moores new maid, expert
enced some surprise (and not unnaturally)
when in the exercise of her vocation, she was
carrying a copper jug of hot water to Mrs.
Moore's dressing room before sounding the
first gong, she observed her master and mis-
tress approach each other from opposite ends
of the corridor both ntently reading, like
people on a stage-he in a small black book,

A still poorer opinion had Sarah Watkins
of her new place when she saw the readers
look up simultaneously suddenly and guiltily
close their books, turn on their several heels,
and eXeunt.
"And them SEE as what they has only been
married ten months!" she meditated. well
we'll see what's to come of this"
The family dinner that night was distin-
guished by extreme correctitude Of demeanor,
and an etiquette almost Spanish in its stateli-
ness. They were nothing If not polite-that is,
when Watkins was in the room. But Watkins

looking sideways at the pattern Of the carpet
as though she had never seen it before, while
at his end of the table Harry molding
bread pellets as If for wager. These things
do not vary.
But even Watkins the wise did not know

it's readers what real people do. So as soon
as Clara had escaped out of the dining room.

Harry sulkily sat down and felt for his cigar

drawing ROOM Yet he would not go for 1t.
He could hear Clara playing noisy jig, the
wriggle and stamp of which he particularly
loathed.

They sat long silent that night in their own
home, near each other, and happy Harrys
heart was softened. He was in the mood for
concessions.

Laeti.ta to come and stay with us month"
ooh, bother Aunt Laetitia!" exclaimed Mrs.

And thus did Clara Murray-Lnklater deny

To straighten out paper that has
been rolled, open it with the inner
curve away from you and run it over
the sharp-not the curved or beveled
edge of a table.

Mr.. w. M. Ayers. clerk 20
Grand View district, in Char
lotte township, was in last week
and reported that the board ont
there contemplstes making
improvements Ia and around The
school house this sumner. This
is one OF the best buildings IN
the county and they are going
to keep il so. The work how
ever, should be done before time
for school in the fall. This
school won the flag last spring
in the county graduation. There
is no mere wide awake pupils to
be found than in this school
Edwards school had q well
drilled but failed to obtain a sur
ply Of water. 1t is to be regret
ed that they bad to give up so
important a thing as this. This
water question is one Of the most
serious one, we have to contend
with it in the country schools.
They have a new modern build
ing and it was to be hoped and
they could get a supply Of good
water.
CORTLAND is progressing nicely
with their improvement on the
school house. They are going
TO remove the old one 10 the ex-
tent of almost making a new one
OF it. They are finding out one
thing, too, and that is, that it
costs almost as much to put up
a new building. They have the
new foundation completed and
ready to gin on the frame.
From the district clerks re-
ports we find that Hume leods in
the county on the number Of
volumes in the library, having
seven hundred. Freeze Out, in
Spruce, leads among the country
schools With one hundred ninety
Uolumes. Fifteen districts In
the country are reported are re-
ported as hot having any library
at all but we feel that some Of
these are not reported as not

feel that some Of these are not

Good Housemaids Rewarded.

New York Times: The German
Housewives society, which consists of
about $50 housewives who employ
help, met in Tuxedo hall and gloated
over their success in solving the serv-
ant problem, as they handed prizes to
tie good character maids" who had
held down a single situation for the
longest time.
There was cocoa or tea, as you pre-
ferred, with cakes in each case for all
the girls, and prizes for forty-two.
Miss Anna Hahn had a 14-year rec
ord. The prizes consisted of brace
let's, rings, and stickpins. After four
years in one situation a $40 gold piece
Is regular prize.
Mrs F. Won Oertzen- Barber, the
president of the society, remarked, as
she was awarding the prizes, "A good
houseworker or cook never has any
trouble in getting good husband"
The organization is mutually bene-
fetal. The girls are cared for free
when they are i'll, they are placed in
homes with mistresses who are COM
genial they are protected when they
come to this country ignorant of the
language, and good records entit1e
them to demand increases in salary at
stated intervals.

OPEN YOUR EYES TO IT
See the Evidence Of Prosperity and
Growth in North Dakota--Invest
at Home.

One OF the salient features of the
plan of the Northwestern Mutual In.
vestment co. Is the fact that all their
investments are made at home, in the
fast developing sections of North Da-
kota, where property values are not
only stable, but rapidly increasing in
value, and bound to still more rapidly
Increase with the coming of greater
population.
With the concrete evidences of pros
perity that this growing financial in
stitution IL able to show you will sure
ly be convinced of the fact that they
have an absolutely safe plan that the
returns of their investments must be
unusually profitable If you are a
certificate holder in The Northwestern
Mutual Investment co. you will share
lE the prosperity Of the present and
the unexampled prosperity that is sure
to come.
The Northwestern Mutual Invest
ment Co. Of Fargo will be pleased to
send any interested party full parts
culars of their plan upon request. Do
not fail to look into their proposition.

zen had, or would, better attend to his
own affairs and let the politicians at
tend to theirs. This is sound adj
vice.
If there is anything more certain
than another to transform politics and
the vital questions" into an ineHtri-
cable tangle it is the egotistic inter-
ference of the voter. 1t is his business
to vote, not to muddle around about
causes and platforms and reforms. See
what mess this new obsession of the
voters has made of current politics!
Everything is at loose ends; lifelong
PARTY men are deserving to tn 5ther
side; tickets are sliced up into 1nince-
meat, and all this because the voter
has developed a notion that he can
decide vital questions for himself can,
In fact, do his own thinking.
The absurdity Of the proposition is
manifest. Politicians make their liv-
ing by attending to these things for
the voters, they are experts at the
business, their decisions should be
final. 1t is highly presumptuous for
the voter to "butt in" Mr. Mason's
has the genuine ring of
homely common sense.
