WILL YOU ANSWER HERE" WHEN
THE PUZZLE ROLL is CALLED?

All the witchery of Halloween is al
ready with US, not just because The
Herald's Page for Every Woman was
given yesterday entirely to plans for
the mystic fete day, but because the
puzzle circle is already up to the ears
in thirty-one phrases. or words, pertain
| ing to the celebration of this night OF
magic that now lies but a week away.
I am just as glad as you are that the
queer enigma met with so splendid a
reception at its first appearance yester-
day. and I am republishing it to-day for
| the benefit of those who failed to get the
Sunday paper.
They need not feel discouraged that
some folks began their work on the
Halloween tangle yesterday. becauge as
matter of fact they just sat down and
looked the thing over.
1T is perfect withcraft" called one
puzzler to me as soon as she had gotten
good square look at the enigma.
1T is more Elusive than any hobgobhn
of the magic night to which its locoes
and descriptive numbers pertain said
another.
Delight Expressed.
But in each case delight with the puz-
ze work for the week was expressed in
no uncertain way. and 1 really believe
the Halloween puzzle is the most fas
cinatng bit Of work you have ever had
to do
So get TO work on 1t, you who have not
vet started, for surely no one would dare
fail 10 untangle the Corundrum after all
that was said to me last week in protest
lust because the baby contest took the
Mace If one DuZZle.
The usual prizes of g, g, and 81 are
offered and the contest doors will close
on Friday at noon. not TO be opened

ups will he awarded the first two prizes.
The third prize will he held for the
children. as has been customary for
many weeks, and all boys and girls un-
der fifteen years Of age are eligible for
this prize.
The subject of Halloween has a dis
tinctive charm all itc own, attractive to
both young and old, so that the new
puzzle will appeal strongly to the chill
dren as well as ,he grown-ups.

James chuCkled as if the whole thing
was great joke.
James Is a Sport.

he told his little companions. as if this
made up for everything, and my father
says look like a dead game sport in my

He was just as pleased with himself

Fur in New Millinery.
]. c. NJ.

While the aIl-fur hat is not met with
frequently enough to occasion any par
ticular comment, the fur-trimmed hat
has decided prestige. Bands OF the long
haired variety are the best liked for
trim ming. They sometimes, but not
always, are applied to the edge of the
brim, but more often band is intro
duced on, over, or around the crown.
This is true though of all trimmings
this season, the designers concentrating
their efforts on the crowns in almost
every instance.
There are to be many facings used, but
these. except in the case of some pokes,
are for the most rart plain. One finds
pokes faced quite as ornately as baby

The Non-Partisan convention to be

birthday, Feb. 20, is exciting a great
deal of interest and enthusiasm. The
students have taken hold and started
the ball rolling and the big event is an
assured success. Delegates can be
seen on every corner of the campus

The plans of the ar1nory have been
drawn up and each delegation has been
assigned the place it will occupy on

DR.. GATES MAKES
ANOTHER GREAT CURE
Joseph GaIIipo of Valley City Says
That Vital Science Has Done Sur
prising Things for Him-Suffered
For Years and Despaired of Cure.

One Of DR.. Gates achievements is
the cure of Joseph Gallipo, of Valley
City, N. D. Seen at DR.. Gates office,
Mr.. Gallipo said that for 20 years he
has suffered with rheumatism and for
the past three years had been an
acute sufferer with kidney trouble,
getting so bad that he was unable to
controI the urine, and suffered excru-
ciating pain in his back and limbs.
Last spring he had been told by his
physician that he was never to recover
and that he had best settle his af-
fairs. He owns large farm about ten
miles out from Valley City, and be-
coming convinced that his days of use
fulness were over, having doctored and
taken medicine without single sign
of help, he rented his farm and moved
into town, determined to spend the re-
mainder of his days as peacefully as
possible.
Mr.. Gallipo stated that he had en-
tirely given up hope of any relief from
medicine; he was satisfied that it held
no sign of benefit for him. Learning
through The Forum of a cure
obtained by neighbor at the hands of
DR.. Gates, his son urged him to come
ing that it could not be less success
full than another means had been he
came here and engaged treatments. He
was treated five times the first week
and went back home feeling greatly
improved; the next week he took five
more treatments and returned to his
home to spend Sunday, feeling that he
was as well as ever in his life. Every
sign of his trouble had disappeared, he
had no pain and began to pick up in
flesh and to have a fine appetite He
slept we'll and is apparently as we'll as
any man in the country of his age.
Mr.. Gallipo is one of the pioneer
residents of this state. He came here
soon after the war, during which, he
served with honor in the Eleventh
Vermont Volunteers, being one Of the
youngest men to enlist from that state.
He is a man of standing and SUBJ
stance. He is today, in his 9th year,
hale and hearty, restored from a sick
man to well one, from hopeless in
valid to man with new purpose
in life: from a man who for years
walked on crutches and was told he
would never get well to man who
does not look to be more than fifty
years Of age.
