RULE HURTS IOWA BARS
Supreme Court Decision DepriVes
Many Towns of Saloons.

Des Moines. Iowa. Sept 29.-Many
cities and towns in Iowa will lose their
saloons as a result of the action OF the
supreme court in refusing to rehear
the Winneshiek county saloon case
The case involved the question Of the
effect Of the withdrawal OF a name
from a general consent TO sell liquors.
At the June term the supreme court
ruled that such withdrawal OF a with

drawal did not operate TO restore the
original name TO the consent. The
court this morning refused TO grant
the request of the saloon men that
they be given another hearing on the
merits of the controversy. Sixteen
towns in Iowa are said to be operating
saloons on the theory that withdraw
al of a withdrawal restored the origi-
nal name TO the general consent.

pressed Mrs. S. Ella Wood Dean,
millionaire widow of John e.
Dean, so very much.
Give me an American husband
or give me none!" she said while
denying the report that she was
engaged to a Russian nobleman
of formidable name and title.
my love, for Europe has not
-weaned me from our grand coun-
try, splendid people and freedom.
When my choice is finally made, 1t
will settle upon some splendid,
fine American. He would be my
king, for court life Is merely an
excuse for wearing more gold en-
broidery, but not any more real
happiness.
I'VE may laugh at love, but II
is still the shrine before which
many women libate their penates,
and I will lbe one who will join
that happy throng Until then,
no engagement.
Mrs. Dean, as the author of a
famous diary on love, ought to
know when she gives such an ul-
timatum to Cupid.

Stop Experimenting!
Take a 'Cascaret'
Nearly all our ills come through
inactive liver and bowels.
Millions of folks keep
feeling good with
Cascarets.

One must keep the bowels clean.
Do it just the same as you keep
your skin clean. Not by severe
applications, applied at rare in
tervals. But by gentle and regu-
lar efforts. 1t pays immensely.
Many people dread physic. They
think of castor oil, of salts and
cathartics. The shrink from the
after effects-griping and weak
ness. So they postpone the dose
until they are costive or bilious.
Then they do the cleaning in a
heroic way. That Is all wrong.
Cascarets are gentle laxative.
They are just as effective as any
thing else, and more natural and
they are pleasant - a candy.
They are made to carry with you.
Take one just as soon as you need
it. You'll know. The result is
your bowels are always active.
You always feel at your best. Try
a 10 cent box of Cascarets. You'll
never again go without them.

W0MAN's CLUB SUCCESSFUL
Report for the Year Shows They Have
Accomplished a Good Deal

The members of the Woman's 8
Club of Bottineau assembled
Tuesday evening at the home
of Mrs. Andy Johnston to hear
reports from the federation
meeting and to transact the
usual business. The ladies are
enthusiastic about the work
that has been accomplished in
various parts OF the state and
when one considers what the
local organization has done
during the past year it will be
seen that they are not behind
the procession. Besides the
literary and study work, the
primary object of the club, they
have paid in $58. 60 to the work
of improving the cemetery,
So. 90 to the Federation endow-
ment fund, $500 towards the
Sakakawea statute and did a
lot of things where civic spirit
and Willingness to work count
ed more than money.

On the evening of Tuesday.

These statements are to be

University News

The idea of a university do
ing it's part toward developing
the material resources of a
commonwealth is a compara-
lively new one in this state, but
visitors at the Industrial Ex-
position at Bismarck, which
closed last Saturday, have car
ried away with them some very
definite ideas on this score.
The showing of Ignite bri-
quittes, made at the university
mining station at Hebron, and
of the many different useful
products that may be develop
ed from North Dakota clay has
has been revelation to many
people. From a financial stand
point, the briquetting process,
which has been worked out by
the university, when the peo-
pie of the state have been fully
awakened to the possibilities
that are thus opened, will fully
justify every cent that has been
spent for the maintenance of
the university in the past for
many years to come. The work
of experimentation has now
progressed so far that there is
now no longer any doubt about
the practical phases Of the work
and it remains now for men
possessed of sufficient capital
to take hold of the manufacture
of these briquettes a d the
fuel problem of this region will
be solved. @
Equipment is being added to
that already in place in the
school of mines at the univer-
sity, so that this process can be
taught to the students there.
This together with the work
already done in the teaching
OF how to make the clays of
the state into articles of use
and beauty, represents a phase
of mining engineering that is
very practical indeed for this
state, and in these times of
effort, young men who have a
taste and adaptability for such
work may we'll find abundant
opportunities for advancement.
