The Kaiser's Workroom.

In the workroom of the kaiser
are the following sentences so ar
ranged that he has them always be-
fore him when sitting at his
desk:
BE strong in pain"
"To wish for anything that is
unattainable is worthless
Rejoice in nature and people,
and take them as they are."
BE content with the day as it is;
look for the good in everything"
For thousand bitter hours con-
sole yourself with one that is beau
tiful."
IF something damages us, hurts
us, who can tell if that is not nec-
essary to the welfare Of creation?"
"As everything is, so it has to be
in this world; and, however it may
be, should always seem good to the
mind of the creature. +"
I'm everything of this world,
whether dead or alive. lives the
mighty wise will Of the Almighty
and All-knowing Creator; we little
people only lack the reason to com
prehend it."
1T is our duty to believe every
one to be good as long as we have
not the proof to the contrary; the
world is SO large and we ourselves
SO small that everything can not re-
volve around u.s."
Give from your heart and mind
always the best, even if you do not
receive thanks. He who can learn
and practice this is indeed a happy,
free, and proud one; his life will
always be beautiful. He who is
mistrusting, wrongs others and
harms himself"
These sentences give one an in
sight into the thoughts of the kais-
er.--Pittsburg Christian Adyo-

Irritating noises can be avoided by

CONFIDENCE
Back Up Our Statements With Our
Personal Reputation

We are so positive that we can relieve
constipation, no matter how chronic it
may be, that we offer to furnish the
medicine free of all cost if we fail.
We think that it is worse than useless
to attempt to cure constipation with
cathartic drugs. Cathartics may do
much harm. They may cause re-
action, irritate and weaken the bowels
and make constipation more chronic.
Constipation is often accompanied and
may be caused by weakness of the
nerves and muscles of the large intes-
tine or colon. To expect cure you
must therefore tone up and strengthen
those parts and restore them to health
ier activity.
This discovery of the active principle
of our remedy involved the labor of our
skillful research chemists. This remedy
produces results such as are expected
from the best of the best known intes-
final tonics, and it is particularly
prompt in its results.
We want you to try Rexall Orderlies
on; our guarantee. They are exceedingly
pleasant to take and are ideal for chill
dren. They apparently act directly on
the nerves and muscles of the bowels,
having, it would seem, neutral action
on other organs or glands. They do
not purge or cause inconvenience If
they do not positively cure chronic or
habitual constipation and thus relieve
the myriads of associate or dependent
chronic ailments, your money will 5e
refunded. Try Rexall Orderlies at our
risk Three sizes of packages, 10c., 25c.,
and SOC. Remember, you can obtain
Rexal Remedies in this community
only at our store-The Rexall Store.

COOLEST MONTH
IN TWENTY YEARS
Interesting Record and Data of How
January 1912 Holds the Cold
Weather Record.

The month of January 1912, has proven
itself to be the coloest January on record
IN North Dakota covering a period of
twenty years. This interesting fact has
been authentically established by the
United States weather bureau station at
the state university in Grand Forks.
The normal, or what is known as the
average mean temperature, for the month
was 80 below zero, which is 15o lower
than the mean average for January as
shown by record covering the past
twenty years. The record for extreme
low temperature of 46o below zero on
Thursday, january II, 1912, is only
broken in one instance, by that of Feb
ruary LIST, 1893, when the absolute mini
mum temperature recorded by govern.
ment thermometers was 48o below zero,

CENSUS FIGURES
Population of Cavalier County
Officially Given With Compari
son of Ten Years Ago.

Cavalier county census statistics as
given in the detailed ,abulated state
ment below show some interesting com.
parsons with the figures of the census
of ten years ago. Naturally the big in
crease in population is found in the
vest and southwestern portions Of the
county, while the north and eastern por-
tions where density of population was
found ten years ago have naturally not
shown the same rate of increase but have
steadily held their own in spite ofthe in
roads made by the migration to North
western Canada. There has been CEN
tralization in population in several new
towns that have sprung up in the county
and general gain over the entire county
that is highly satisfactory when CON-
pared with the adjoining counties of
Pembina and Walsh, which show quite a
preceptible decrease in population since
the census of ten years ago was taken
The following table shows the popula.
tion in each subdivision of Cavalier
county in 1900 and 1910:
