(Wahpeton Globe.>
With the renewal of the report
that the Northern Pacific will con.
struet Z new mail line through
North Dakota, lying about thirty
miles south Of the present main line
Wahpeton is becoming unusually
interested BY reason Of the fact tina,
such construction work would very
likely result in the operation Of
many Of the fast trains through this
city.
10 North Dakota the completion
Of this project. which has been un.
der consideration several years,
would mean the construction Of
about $50 miles more Of railroad.
The connecting links in the line
across this state would be from Edge.
ley. in L. Moure county. to Cannon
Ball. 10 Norton county. while the
second link would be from Mott, the
present terminus Of the Cannon Ball
line. to the western boundary line OF
the state.
The first Of these links would be
approximately ninety miles long,
and would cross the counties OF
Logan and Emmons. with about
twelve miles Of work in LaMoure
county. Forty-two miles of that
line would be in Logan county and
the remainder in Emmons. This
link would make necessary the con.
struction OF . new bridge across the
Missouri river, soundings for which
have already been made.
In the western district the line
would 60 through 4 part Of Hetting.

ty. thirty miles being in Hettinger
and the remainder in Billings county
The line would join the main North.

From the Twin Cities to the coast
this line would mean shorter hauI
of about forty miles, and Wahpeton
sees visions Of being on the main
line Of the road in the event the
construction work is done.
Territory in North Dakota that
would be tapped by this line is in
itself no little inducement. In Logan
county only the 500 line operates at
present; SO the Northern Pacific
would be dealing its business riva]
q blow. Emmons county has twenty.
five miles Of Northern Pacific line

ably short distance north of Linton,

Pacific would cross about thirty mi Ii
south OF its present main line. and
twenty miles north Of the Milwaukee
railroad. Through Hettinger count,
the new main line would PRACTICAL,
parallel the Milwaukee for a dis
tance Of about thirty miles.
An easier grade and a shorter
route are the objects that would be
attained by the construction of thi.
road.
On the new main line the mos,
important points in North Dakots
would be Wahpeton, Edgeley. La

BUSINESS WOMEN
A Lunch Fit for q King.

An active and successful young
lady tells her food experience:
Some years ago suffered from
nervous prostration, induced by con.
tinuous brain strain and improper
food. added to great grief.
II was ordered to give up my work.
a. there was great danger Of my mind
failing me altogether. MY stomach
was in bad condition (nervous dyspep-
sia, think now) and when Grape
Nuts food was recommended to me, I
had no faith in 1t. However, tried
1t. and soon there was q marked i'm
provement in my condition.
II had been troubled with faint
spells. and had used a stimulant to
revive me. found that by eating
Grape-Nuts at such times 1 was re-
lieved and suffered no bad effects.
which was great gain. AS to my
other roubles-nervous prostration,
dyspepsia, etc.-on the Grape-Nuts diet
they soon disappeared.
II wish especially to call the atten.
ton Of Office girls to the great benefit
l derived from the use of Grape-Nuts
a. noon luncheon. I was thoroughly
tired Of cheap restaurants and ordin-
ary lunches, and so made the expert.
ment of taking package of Grape.
Nuts food with me, and then slipping
out at noon and getting nickel's
worth Of sweet cream to add to 1t.
II found that this simple dish, fin
ished of with an apple, peach, orange,
or bunch Of grapes made lunch At
for king, and one that agreed with
me perfectly.
II throve so on my Grape-Nuts diet
that did not have to give up my work
at all, and in the two years have had
only four lost days charged up against
me.
