OLD FOLKS

Can Live Longer, Doctor Says.
zone reason old people do not live
to be older" says a famous physician,
lis because they do not keep up their
interest in life. They ought not to
let co.
But when they are weakened
through poor appetite and loss of
sleep, you can't expect them to be so
much Interested in current events.
Let them first regain most Of their
former vigor. by using yinol, our de-
licious cod liver and iron preparation,
on which so many elderly people de-
pend for good health.
According to f. r. Schoen, Justice
OF the Peace, Elk Mountain, Wyo,
This neighbor, Chas. T. Bourk, 81 years
old was very sick and ready to give
up, but vinol put him on his feet
again and now he says: Nothing
ever helped me like Who'll could
not do without 1t.
Vinol is sure to do you good If you
are run down and weak-we guaran-
tee this. and will pay back your mon
ey if you are not satisfied. Fout &

WAS
ALMOST FATAL
DICKINSON MAN is SERIOUSLY
HURT WHEN MIXTURE.
ExPLoDEs.

Dickinson; N. D., Feb. 26.-While
operating a new device for brazing,
with which he and others have beer
experimenting, E. e. Coar Of Dickin-
son was severely injured at his shop
In this city by an explosion of a COM
bination of a~cetylene and other gases
being used in the apparatus.
Coar will lose a thumb and per-
haps the index fingers of his left hand,
and both of his limbs were lacerated
by flying pieces of metal and debris,
as a result of the explosion, which
took place in his shop In the rear of
his residence just north of the Smith
hospital.
That the explosion was a terrific
one is evidenced by the fact that a
number OF tools which were lying on
Coar's work bench, were thrown
against the walls of the shop with such
force that some of them were found
sticking to the boards the next morn
ing.
The cause of the explosion is said
to be back firing thus igniting the
gas stored in the generator used in
connection with the brazing device; it
had been used a number of times prev
iously without apparent danger.
Mrs. Coar had left the shop but a
few moments before the disaster and
luckily escaped injury, which she
would undoubtedly have sustained
should she have been in the shop at
the time of the explosion.
That Coar was not instantly killed
is a wonder in view of the condition
of the shop after the disaster. He
is now in a local hospital and in the
opinion of the physician attending him,
his wounds will rapidly heal, unless
complications result.
Immediately after the explosion a
fire alarm was sounded, u rs the
building did not take fire the depart
ment was not required.

FOR BENEFIT
OF Settlers
Hanna Would Have Ignite
Ruling Modified

washington, Feb. 26-Representative
Hanna is making an effort to have the
officials of the general landoffice and
the United States geological survey
modify the ruling hat settlers can get
only title to the surface of public land
when it is underlain with a vein of
Ignite 80 inches thick at a depth of
500 feet or less,
THE interior department has ruled
that settlers a obtain only surface
title to lands hat are underlaid with
Ignite 80 inches or more in thickness"
said Mr.. Hanna. MY proposition is
that the minimum be increased to so
inches. In the anthracite and bitumi-
nous fields the minimum thickness is
IA inches and the depth 1000 feet or
less.
The North Dakota Ignite has 10
slate or rock roof, and in consequence
miners are obliged to leave from IL to
is inches of coal to serve as a roof
If the minimum were increased to so
inches a roof of IL to Is inches could
be provided and enough Ignite left
for a good working mine. 3D.
IL Inc IiilSliI Ol'lSi"lS va Ia
my view of the matter, 100000 acres
of land in North Dakota would be re-
leased to the settlers who now have
only surface title. The proposed
change would give them full title. 1t
also would permit a large number of
settlers to commute. who now are re-
strained from doing so because of the
presence of a 30-inch vein of Ignite
under their holdings"
