ONE MILLION DOLLARS FOR A

Every Man and Woman.

This Offer Should 20 a Warning to
Every Man and Woman.
The newspapers and medical jour
nails recently have had much to say
relative to famous millionaire's offer
of million dollars for new stomach
This great multi-millionaire was too
busy to worry about the condition Of
his stomach. He allowed his dyspep
sia to run from bad to worse until in
the end it became incurable.
His misfortune serves as warning
to others.
Every one who suffers with dyspep-
sia for few years will give every
thing he owns for new stomach.
: Dyspepsia Is commonly caused by an
abnormal state Of the gastric juices.
or by lack of tone in the walls Of the
stomach. The result is that the stom-
ach loses its power to digest food.
We are now able to supply certain
missing elements-to help to restore
to the gastric juices their digestive
power. and to aid in making the stom-
ach strong and well.
We know that Rexall Dyspepsia
Tablets are a most dependable rem
edy for disordered stomachs, indiges-
tion. and dyspepsia.
We want you to try them and will
return your money If you are not
more than satisfied with the result.

WOULD
SWEEP THE WEST
After Careful Survey Frances j.
Heney Makes the Author
lied Statement.
Direct Primaries Would Give
Him Every State West
of Mississippi.

Washington, D. c., January 22nd.-
The LaFollette boom is punctured only
in the minds of those administration
followers who are most anxious to
puncture it but who failed to accomplish
their purpose.
This is the opinion expressed by
Francis j. Heney, of San Francisco,
who arrived in Washington today, after
an extensive lecture tour of the
country. While travelling through many
states Mr.. Heney has made it his busi-
ness to observe political conditions, and
his observations led him to believe that
Senator LaFollette is the strongest
presidential candidate before the people.
"Senator Toilette could carry every
state west of the Mississippi River by
ten to one," said Mr.. Heney. ''it the
voters had an opportunity to express
their choice. l have been lecturing
since last summer and have made it
a point to test public sentiment in every
city I visited. While Senator LaFol-
lette is the overwhelming favorite in
the west he is also tremendously strong
in the east, Notwithstanding efforts to
convince the country that such is not
the case. l am confident that the
presidents own state of Ohio will be
for LaFollette, as will also Illinois. If
the nomination were left to the people
on direct vote many other eastern
states would be for him. If Senator
LaFollette gets the nomination he will
poll tremendous vote. In addition to
carrying every state west of the Mis-
sissippi he would also carry New York
and Pennsylvania.
"What is your opinion as to the state
ments that the LaFollette boom is on
the wane?" Mr.. Heney was asked.
Certain men are trying to convince
themselves that such is the case," re-
piled Mr.. Heney, land they are like
wise trying to convince others on the
same subject. The fact of the matter
is that Senator LaFollette is mighty
prominent factor in the race for the
presidential nomination at Chicago and
his chance of getting the nomination is
good. LaFollette would make an ex-
cellent candidate and he would be
elected. The people are demanding the
election of president who believes in
the things LaFoIlette has always stood
for -

Fun Galore.

lneTe was Iun galore at the opera
house last Friday night. Basket ball
games between boys and girls teams
from Kuhn against like teams from
Oakes were advertise |, but only the
girls team from Kuhn put in an ap-
pearance.
From the first of the game between
the girls teams it could be seen that
Kuhn had the advantage. They had
better team work and were better
trained in throwing baskets. The
score ended 26 to in favor of Kuhn.
The. boys team played against a
picked team, and had a strenuous game
from start to finish. The school boys
showed better practice and the game
ended II to 8 in their favor.
The excitement of the evening was
in the ball game between the high
school team and the board of education
team. Indoor baseball is something
new in Oakes, but it proves just as ex-
citing to the ball enthusiasts as on the
larger outdoor diamond. Addison Dem
ming and Clarence Scott were at the
points for the school team and Coulter
and Zieglemann formed the t'board"
battery. The game was so even
throughout it created lots of excite
ment, and ives really won in ''last half
of the NINTH" when that champion of
the pigskin, frankie Root, ran in the
winning score. The "board" won II
to 10. His Jumps Prof. Sutton, was
in extreme danger at times, but his
supreme nerve saved his life.

SURROUNDING HIM.

when a question is up says
nominee Woodrow Wilson, Il listen
10 all the arguments and then argue
in my own mind"
We imagine that these few words
describe Wilson's character pretty
thoroughly. And why isn't his plan
a pretty good one for all of us who
haven't such a big thing as the presi-
dency staring US in the face, but who
are apt to decide our little personal
analysts of facts and conditions.
It means to think before we act.
But most of US pass upon the small
details, which really go to make up
life, without consideration OF circun.-
stances or results. A fellow may be
a person whom we dearly love, sayS
something that we. do not like and
we at once try to give him worse
than he sent A business associate
seems to take some advantage Of US
and we resolve to clay for him" ev-
err after. Things go wrong in our
house and instead of trying to set
them right, We storm and cuss.
Nothing Is much truer than the say
ing that most of our troubles never
happen. Yet, we forget that life Is
pretty much all contention and that
the best way to contend with things
or people is with calmness and sense.
The fellow who hears all the argu-
ments, chews them over III MS L4.4u
and decides as conscience dictates
feels satisfied even If he sometimes
has to feel uncomfortable.
Undoubtedly candidate Wilson will
be surrounded by lot of big, argu-
mentative gentlemaa who know just
what they want. He will turn the
light of analysis upon their claims
and their motives. consult his own
heart and head and then decide for
himself He will make mistakes, for
the Lord never made mere man
so perfect that he was above making
mistakes. But Wilson will know
that he decided in accord with what
he believed to be the right and the
fellow who does that can afford to
let the selfish crowd which surrounds
him feel dissatisfed.-Des Mones
