This Reason
a Good One
PRAISE
THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY

The reason many people throughout
the country are praising Root Juice is
because it is a medicine of great merit
and has done and is doing so much
good for those who have and are TAX
ing it for troubles of the stomach, liver.
Kidneys and bowels. It seems to clean
the system of uric acid and cure the
most stubborn cases of rheumatism. 1t
soon creates a good appetite and causes
the food to be digested in a natural
way by removing diseased conditions
from the digestive organs. 1t removes
the cause of many troubles and gives
nature chance. That is why so many
people get well after taking the Juice
a while. All nervous, weak, debilitated
people should take Root Juice, as its
tonic properties are unsurpassed. They
are glad to sell it at Arnold drug store,
523 Kansas avenue, because of it's great
merit.

chips and Swiss and Cream cheese.
Two young fellows met in our
store the other day. Each seemed
surprised to see the other.
Hello, Frank, what are you do
ing down here" said the taller one.
tOh, I came down after a coffee
CAKE said Frank.
''But what are YOU doing way
down here ?''
ooh, I came down after a loaf of
Weston" said the taller one.
Seems to me you could have
found a bakery without coming out
of your way" said Frank.
That's all right, but I can't get
coffee cakes anywhere else like
they make them here. Why didn't
you get your bread at. the bakery
up the street 2''
''It would be a good deal Closer
said the taller one," but our folks
will eat nothing else but Weston"
The two of them went out the
door, still talking and we felt graf
flied in knowing that our efforts in
making the BEST Bread and the
BEST coffee cakes were appreciat-
ed, although such conversations
are common among our patrons.

ADAMS0N GOES
TO MAGIC CITY
FORMER DEVILS LAKE ATroR.
NEY BUYS PRACTICE FROM
ARTHUR L'SUEUR.

The local friends of Attorney j. G.
Adamson, of Bottineau, formerly of
this city, will be interested in know
ing that the firm Of Noble, Blood &
Adamson have purchased the legal
practice of Arthur LeSueur, president
of the Minot Board of Commissioners
and formerly senior partner of the firm
of LeSueur & Bradfrod.
The Minot Optic has the following
to say regarding the change:
After working hard for the past ten
years in Minot and building up large
law practice and devoting his time
strenuously to municipal affairs, Arthur
LeSueur, President Of the City Commits
sion announces that he has disposed of
his law practice in this city and that
on or about May LIST he will leave the
city to take vacation for at least
six months and possibly longer. Before
leaving the Magic City Mr.. Lesueur
is very desiruos that recall bill be
passed through the legislature and that
he have test of it here.
The firm taking over Mr.. LeSueur's
law business is Noble, Blood and Ad-
amson Of Bottineau. All three Of the
gentlemen have been in the city for the
past few days and are now engaged in
practice here. AS quickly as. they can
arrange their affairs at Bottineau, it
is more than likely that at least Messrs.
Noble and Blood will establish their
homes here. Mr.. Adamson, it is under
stood, will divide his time between TIE
practice here and that at Bottineau,
where the offices will be retained. All
three Of the lawyers are we'll and favor
ably known in this section of the
country and they will be welcomed by
the fraternity here. Mr.. Vic Noble,
the head of the firm, is president of the
Northern Telephone company, and has
spent a portion Of his time here regu
lar1y. The name Of the new firm has
not been decided upon, but Mr.. lie
Sueur will continue with it until his
departure from the city. There will
be- no change in the Office force for thu
present at least.

BEER SHIPMENTS
ARE THE CHEAPER
STATE LAUNDRYMEN COMPLAIN
OVER RATES CHARGED BY
EXPRESS COMPANIES.

A. l.. johnson, Of the Sevilla laun.
dry was one Of the representatives Of
the State Laundrymen s Association
who appeared before the railroad COM
mission at Fargo last week and entered
complaint regarding the rates charg-
ed by the express companies.
The laundrymen contended among
other things that the express compan-
les were carrying empty beer cases
cheaper than they We're expressing the
laundry baskets.
The laundry men claim that they
pay fully one-third express charges for
what is dead weight.
They also contend that bread bas-
kets full are sent over the state at
merchandise rates and that the bas-
kets are returned at nominal charge
and that in the long run, if the laund-
rvmen rate was fixed at merchandise
rates with the same charge on baskets
as given the breadmakers they would
be winners.
Each of the laundrymen had some
thing to say and during the discussion
the statement was made that beer cases
were shipped from Moorehead to as
far west as Dickinson, distance OF
nearly 80 miles and that the empties
were sent back at cost of 10 cents
each.
The laundrymen eontended that dry
cleaned clothing came under the head
of laundry and that the charge for
that should be the same as laundry
work. 1t was stated that bread bas-
kets which weigh about the same as
the laundry baskets were shipped back
empty at very small cost, but that
laundry baskets which were being
shipped to the laundry filed with soil
ed clothes were charged for at the
same price as the finished articles. It
was also shown that the baskets weigh
ed about one-third Of the entire ship.
ment and that the laundrymen were
therefore paying onc-third of the en-
tire charges coming and going for dead
weight. AS one of them said: 'It
looks as though the railroad was get
ting two bitesNoff our cherry until there
was nothing left for us but the stone. -
The laundrymen are getting a reduc-
ton of about 90 per cent under the
regular prices charged by the express
companies for merchandise, and they
are now objecting to having to pay
full price for the baskets that are re.
turned full of soiled clothing. It was
stated that if they paid the full mer-
chandise price and received the same
terms that were given the bread MAX
ers they would still be winners over
the present prices.
Each Of the laundrymen who ap-
peared before the commission was
questioned by the representatives of
the express companies and at the close
it was suggested that Judge Corliss
prepare a brief Of the laundrymen IS
idea and that each of the express com
panies be furnished with copies there
Of.
