MOST severe COLD
IS EASILY BROKEN
In Just Few Hours All Misery From
a Bad Cold or the Grippe Will
BE Overcome.

Pape's Cold Compound is the re-
suit Of three years research at a cost
of more than fifty thousand dollars,
and contains no quinine, which we
have conclusively demonstrated is not
effective in the treatment Of colds or
grippe
1t is a positive fact that a dose of
Pape's Cold Compound taken every
two hours until three consecutive
doses are taken, will end the Grippe
and break up the most severe cold.
either in the head, chest, back, stom-
ach, limbs or any part of the body.
1t promptly relieves the most rniser-
able neuralgia pains, headache, dull
ness, head and nose stuffed up, fever
ishness, sneezing, sore throat, running
of the nose, mucous catarrhal dis
charges, soreness, stiffness and rheu-
matte twinges.
Take this harmless Compound as
directed, with the knowledge that
there is no other medicine, made any
where else in the world. which will
cure your cold or end Grippe misery
as promptly and without any other
assistance or bad after effects, as a
25 cent package of Pape's Cold Com
pound, which any druggist In the
world can supply.

MUNICIPAL COAL MINE.


Fargo may go into the Ignite coal
mining business. It would be a profit
able vestment-especially If the city
decides to use producer gas for power
: for the new filtration plant and pump
ing station.
1t seems archaic TO construct new
plant and use steam power. when pro-
gressive cities elsewhere are throwing
out steam and substituting producer
gas.
One OF the objections made against
producer gas plants is that they are In
the experimental stage, This Is
scarcely true. They have been sue
icsssfuIly operated for years. Many
i have been established not only in
Minnesota and South Dakota, but some
In North Dakota. They can be ope-
rated more cheaply on large than on
n small scale.
/ Some Of the producer gas plants can
use snly anthracite coal because of the
volume Of tar in Ignite and soft Goals,
But there are others which use any
kind OF coal
With the unlimited supply Of Ignite
coal In North Dakotar-Fargo should
not be using Minnesota wood. eastern
hard or soft Goals. Under the new
process producer gas can be secured
from Ignite coal as recent machinery
eliminates the tar, which has been the
chief trouble with former experiments
with soft and Ignite Goals.
Fargo should establish a producer
gas plant and be up-to-date. 1t would
show the enterprise Of the city and-if
the experts are to be believed--it would
be more economical than wood or coal
used for steam power.
If Fargo establishes a producer gas
plant there is no reason why it should
not purchase a Ignite mine Of it's own
In addition to the coal that would be
required for the water plant there is
an immense amount of fuel required
in the school buildings. BY drying the
coal at the mines a great reduction
could be made in freight rates and the
value of Ignite in heat units could be
increased so to 60 per cent.

congress can rightly prescribe the con-

as to make it a benefit to the public,

enable the inventor to secure a fair

MONOPOLY BY PATENTS.

There is a great deal of antagonistic
sentiment to the present patent sys-
tenn, because Of some glaring weak
nesses in the existing laws. The fol-
lowing from The New York Journal Of
. Commerce is a typical editorial ex-
preston:
1t is stated in dispatch from Boston
on what is said to be good authority"
that when the United Shoe Machinery
Co. strengthened it's monopoly in
mechanical devices for the process of
shoe manufacture, whereby it exacts
tribute from the entire industry in the
east 1t did not buy out the shoemaking
business of the concern which had es-
tabIshed competition with it by MAX
Ing complete set of new patented
machinery. 1t only bought from 1t
all the patents on the new machines.
and then the president and his "as-
sociates" bought a majority of the
stock OF the shoemaking company
from the man who owned il ana con-
trolled the company. This appears to
have been an inducement to this gem
tleman to sell his patents, while It
gave into the hands of officers of the
machinery company control of the
only concern that was equipped with
the new machines.
This made the machinery MONOPOLY
complete, and it could continue the
operation of the factory using the new
machines or not, as it pleased, and It
could do as 1t pleased about permitting
their use elsewhere Whether il makes
and supplies these machines under it's
system Of leasing instead Of selling. is
not stated, but as the law stands II is
in its power, now that it holds the
patents, to suppress their use alto
gether II 1t finds it more profitable to
adhere to the plan of furnishing only
the old ones, however superior the new
ones may be. Therein is one OF the
vital defects of our patent laws. They
permit an inventor or an assignee of
his rights the power to delay the is
sue Of a patent as long as he likes and
then to keep it out of use as long as he
likes, to prevent it's competition with
others previously issued. He may be
paid for doing this or his rights may
be bought by any monopolist in the
field.

gress to grant copyrights and patents is

should be kept in mind in making

Travellers Tales

Long Jack Nicholson, the hotel clerk,
is a bachelor. He is also modest one.
The milk of human kindness runs
pretty strong through his system, but
he couldn't stand for the eloquence of
medicine vender a night or two
ago, and yet he had to.
The vender was aged, he also wore
very long growth Of whiskers. That
he hadn't made a success of peddling
his medicines about the city was evil
dent from the fact that he wanted
Jack to receive medicine for his bill
at the hotel.
He suffered some as he approached
the man with the diamond in his
shirtfront.
"Say, w-w-w-wish you'd take medi-
cine for m-m-m-my bill"
Cant do it, there's nothing the

Jack shook his head.
Can can-can cu-cu- cu-cure colds,

IT tell you there amt a darned

exasperated clerk, and he drew his pen
from behind his ear and motioned for
the hotel reporter to quench his sto-
gle.

look k-k-k-kind of white about the
g-g-g- gills."
Feel so fine don't know I've got a
stomach, and l don't want to be
bothered any more"
But the old man was putting out a
dozen bottles of dark mixture on the
counter, and then he reached for an
other and continued as he placed that
one and two more on the counter:
you'd better take these and ca-ca-
ca-call it square, young m-m man."

N. o. INVESTMENTS.

North Dakota is offering the eastern
investors some great opportunities this
year in first mortgages on real estate.
Realty in North Dakota will never be
cheaper than at present. Mortgages
based on half the market value of
North Dakota farm land is as secure
an investment as could be found.
Fasteners are recognizing this.
Many big concerns have for years found
this fertile field-and more are coming
this way. The big insurance COM
panies are planning to invade North
Dakota. One of them wants 100000
worth of first mortgages on North Da-
kota farm lands.
1t is not a good plan to mortgage
your farm. But If absolutely necessary
to do so-it is rather pleasing to know
there are people anxious to buy the
paper.

In Utah, wyoming, Colorado, Idaho
and Washington women vote for
president, members of congress, gov

and all municipal officers.

Women who pay taxes can vote on
questions of local taxation in Louisi-
ana, Montana and Michigan, and in
New York, outside the large cities.
In Iowa women, whether they pay
taxes or not, may vote on bonding
propositions.
No woman has ever been elected to
