Scientists Say It Can Be Done
"Old age is simply a disease" say
some of the European scientists now.
They hold that with proper attention
to diet people should live $50 years.
We don't know how true that is.
But we do known that great numbers
of elderly and aged people feel and
look younger than they are because
they build up it'll Vinol, our delicious
cod liver and iron remedy without oil.
Mrs. Michael Bloom Of Lewiston,
Pa, 80 years Of age, had to be wheeled
around in an invaid's chair before
she began taking Vinol, and after US
ing few bottles was able to 60 out
walking alone, and do most Of her
too. That shows how Vinol
strengthens feeble people.
It sharpens the appetite, makes the
blood rich and causes 1t to circulate
better. You feel the good effects of
Vlnol very soon. We guarantee that
Vinol will please you and pay back

BRANCH WORK IS
ADVANCING RAPIDLY

WILTON, N. D., May g.
r z. Krumm, resident engineer OF
the Pingree.Wilton branch of the
Northern Pacific with headquarters
at Pingree, was in Wilton. He made
the trip over the road on a freight
ain which brought lumber and other
building supplies for the construction
of the various buildings which are to
be erected.
A crew of railroad carpenters are
already at work putting up section
house, tool house, and a cottage for
the section crew.
Material for the new depot and 9TH
er buildings will be rushed to Wilton
with all possible speed and it will
not be long before the Wilton term
inal will be the scene of increased
activity.
The water we'll has been sunk to a
depth of 1856 feet and a good flow OF
water has been secured. A three-inch
bore was put dow firsl and at present
the we'll machine crew is roaming out
the width to six inches. This will give
the company an ample supply OF wa
ter for their needs at this end of the
road
A force of nearly 100 men is at
work between Wing and Wilton sur
facing the road bed and is completing
the task at the rate of a mile per day.
Contractor Smith and his men who
are on the work of construction have
moved a large amount Of earth during
the past two weeks and the work is
going rapidly forward without hitch.
While no regular train service will
be maintained at this time, freight and
material crews will make frequent
trips with supplies for the Wilton ter
minal
No definite time has been set for
the completion of the road and the
running of regular trains but in all
probability by July first the road will
be finished and ready for business.

BISMARCK indian SCHOOL
Makes fine Progress
Report of Supervisor for 1911 Shows Inter-
esting Facts

Residents of Bismarck may not be
aware of the progress. made by the
Indian school at this place, and ex-,
cerpts from the report of the super
visor of this district for 1911 will be
read with interest.
The annual report for the Fifth
district, which last year included
North Dakota, shows that there was
scholastic population of 1852 pupils
physically eligible to enrolment in
some schools. OF this number 1921
pupils were enrolled in the govern
ment schools of various characters
1925 were in the public schools, and
S59 in mission schools. In addition
to this number were 1887 Indian child
rem who were not enrolled in any
school, although they were Of proper
age and physicall'' eligible. These
children were out of school for the
simple reason that the government
and mission schools were crowded to
the limit, and that there were no
public schools within reach. An
effort is being made to get a still
greater number of pupils into the pub
lie schools this year, in order that
the number of children unprovided
for can be reduced
This in itself is certainly a good
reason why we should brand as fall
lacious any attempt to close the
school at Bismarck.
I~ ~ al
classes, reservation and nonreserva-
ton, there are found 1872 buildings.
North Dakota leads with 147, and
Wisconsin follows with 1913. This
number includes structures of all
kinds from the thoroughly modern
dormitory, with steam heat, electric
lights, hot and cold water systems,
ventilating systems, etc., to the old
fashioned "dormitory," with wood
stoves, oil lamps and nothing modern.
This latter class of buildings is being
done away with as fast as possible,
modern structures taking their place
wherever needed, as funds will per-
NIT.
To carry On the extensive work of
education of the pupils of the Indian
schools of the district during the year
1911 there were 526 employees on the
regular pay rolls. This number in
cludes all grdes. from the $240

tendent. About 30 per cent of the
employees were Indians. At the Bis
marck school over so per cent were
Indians, and their services were in
general well rendered.
Practically all positions are under
the Civil Service rules, and appoint
ments were made by the Civil Service
Commission as vacancies were re-
ported. Owing to the fact that
salaries in the Indian school Service
have not advanced with those in
other avocations, it has been at times
difficult to obtain properly qualified
employees to fill the various positions
At the Bismarck school the super
intendent and matron were the only
ones having previous experience
The total amount of salaries paid
in the district was $32O,S45. The
school in the state Of Pennsylvania
paid the highest wages. $740O6 per
employe, while North Dakota paid
re lowest, $565.S5. The average
salary in the Bismarck school is $685.
90. The average for the entire dis
trict is $610 per employe.
The work during the past year has
been encouraging in many respects
and great results were accomplished.

Can We Have Baseball?

Is it lack of money, lack of enthus7
iasm, or both, which prevents an en-
thusiastic gathering in this city for
the purpose of organizing a baseball
team for the summer season? This
is a question many of the business
mn and the baseball fans are asking
themselves, after the failure of two
specified meeting times to draw a
crowd. There are few who are Gag
er for a team, but their ardor is damp
ened by the backwardness of the ma
jority, which is absolutely necessary
to make a success of a public organi-
cation of such a nature as a baseball
team. Next Saturday night has been
named as the third time for a meet.

Alumni Minstrel vas Bio Success.

Y BY far the most successful home
talent entertainment seen in this city
for some time was the minstrel show
given Friday evening under the aus
pieces of the Alumni Association of
the local high school, in which some
thirty artists took part. The show
was divided into three parts, with
several special numbers, during the
whole two hours of the performance,
there was something funny doing all
the time. The curtain went up to
the tune of Alexander's Rag Time
Band, sung by the whole chorus
formed in a double semi-circle on the
stage, with the Steinbreuck five.piece
orchestra in the rear. Between sew
eral excellent song numbers, solos,
duets, quartettes and chorouses in
which everyone acquitted himself or
herself very creditably, numerous
jokes and local hits were sprung,
every one of which succeeded in
bringing down the house. The Sec
ond part consisted of drills and songs

close to 500, So the affair was a
grand success in every sense Of the

entertainment.

years of field service with the flag,
under the command of a regularly

The state board of health of Mchi-

his local paper the following notice:
I'VE wish to call the attention of
