How She Fooled the Doctor

Three years ago my little girl. Angela,
later dropsy set in; her face and limbs
swclled and her eyes pulled. A leading
physician, here at the time. treated her
without .hc slightest success. A sample
Of your swamp Root having been left at
the house at the time. resolved to try
Il. and as IL agreed with her stomach
continued using il with grateful results.
The inflammation began TO subside after
she had taken the first ffty-cent bottle.
and after she took two large bottles she
was pronounced cured by the doctor and
has been in good health ever since. The
doctor came TO see her every day and cx.
amined her every second day until he pro.
nounced her kidneys in perfect condition.
Now. then. the doctor was under the
impression that I was giving my girl his
medicine, but as his medicine had failed
to do . bit Of good. and desiring not
to offend him. ] did not tell him was
giving her Swamp Root and he did not
know the difference. ] did not use one
drop Of his medicine after I started my
girl on Swamp Root. and have always
felt that DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root saved
my Rirl's life, for which ] am grateful.

A National Gain

Of all the candidates for office in the
late primaries probably none was more
bitterly and personally attacked than
P. D. Norton, who won the nomination
for congress in the Third district. In
spite of all the vituperation heaped upon
him, Mr.. Norton won by a neat plural
ity in very mixed and uncertain fight
and in district where every available
vote was got out by his adversaries, SO
no claim can be made that he is not
representative of the district.
Mr.. Norton is very positive man.
He has very decided views and the cou-
rage to advocate and press them. All
such men make enemies readily, espec-
tally when the views expressed go con-
trary to the old order which has OBJ
tained from the earliest times of our
statehood. But there is one thing the
voters of the Third district may be sure
of and that is that in Mr.. Norton they
will have representative at Washing
ton who is living force and who will
be able to do things of advantage to
the district and the state. He has lived
in several parts Of the state and knows
the needs of all, and while patriotically
enthusiastic over the advantages of the
trans Missouri country, every section
of North Dakota may feel assured of
an able representative in Mr.. Norton.
In of kLo 1nko ~
Norton writes:
"While l do not consider my nomina-
tion as anything of personal victory,
l must confess that l do feel mighty
we'll pleased that have to some extent
at least been the means of securing in
the Third Congressional district de-
cisive victory for progressive republi-
canism and for those republicans who
have in the past stood for the principles
of clean politics and government truly
representative of the people. l feel
certain that the people of our district
will, before the November election, be
better acquainted with the actual polit-
ical problems now being fought out in.
the nation and that in consequence we
shall be able to secure at the general
election even more pronounced victory
for progressive republicanism than was
won at the recent primaries.
Mr.. Norton belongs to the new order
of politics. He is a militant progress
sive, and with Messrs. Helgesen and
Young representing the other districts,
all of the same political school, North
Dakota is indeed fortunate in the Sc
lections made for congress, and the
whole country will feel the effect Of
the election of three staunch progress
sive votes for those things which make
for the greater benefit of all the people.

Better Farming

There is no getting away from the
fact that farming is of vital Importance
to all the people-whether they live in
the city or country, says an exchange.
It is problem as to how all the mouths
are to be fed in the future, There is a
steady increase in population which will
continue for an indefinite period. With
the growth of population Increases the
demand for food. 1t follows that either
more land must be cultivated or. the
quantity produced on each acre must
be increased.
The improved methods of farming
that are being employed-and the OBJ
vious demand for more food-will bring
about two very desirable things. They
will not only force the cultivation of
more soil, but likewise cause more
thorough cultivation, increasing the ag-
ricultural products in two ways. There
will be more land cultivated and more
products to thea This will be nec-
OoSoAy OCSoNSC Va Il4O 1uSl00SNlk RVPue
lation, with its increasing demands. As
it became evident that farming will
become more inviting as the years go
by, the cry of ''back to the soil" will
be needed by large class of people.
In the future, land that is now unused
and profitless will be cultivated. Land,
which is now under cultivation, will be
made to yield more than it does
now. Necessity will bring these things
about.
While there has been great progress
in farming during the past fifty years,
there will be greater progress in the
fifty years to come.
Big farms in North Dakota have been
gradually breaking up, and going in
small bodies into the hands of those
who have been making the business
pay.
The dividing up of large tracts of
land will continue, as it should do, until
all the land is made to produce some
thing.

The Plan in Small Cities

The information that the majority of
cities under the commission form of gov
ernment are of less than 5000 popula-
tion, suggests that the commission plan
idea has undergone a wide extension Of
the purposes for which it was created.
The originators of the plan acted on
the theory that great city was an or
ganization too unwieldy to be properly
controlled by large board Of aldermen.
The immediate exigency which gave
birth to the commission plan was the
Galveston flood disaster. Whatever
the theories as to the shortcomings of
the old aldermanic system, it was diff
cult to secure sentiment for change.
Great need supplied the incentive in
Galveston, and Galveston has supplied
the precedent and example that has
brought &bout the change elsewhere. {
There has been some doubt as to the
propriety Of small towns adopting q
plan which was designed to meet the
needs of big city, but the doubt has
been removed by practical experiment.
Fifteen towns in South Dakota
are under the commission plan. Most
Of them are under 5000 population and
some have as low as 1900. They are
doing very well under the plan, and
none propose to return to former con-
ditions. The commission governed city,
whether large or small has evidently
come to stay. Forum.
