whooping cough prove fatal This per-
centage gradually declines from year to
year, when at the age OF ten years and
over the tendency to fatal termination
is reduced TO the minimum. The periods
OF greatest contagion are during the in
vasion Of the disease and during the ca
tarrhal stage. The risk OF injecting
others is somewhat reduced when the
paroxysInal stage is reached, and the
danger OF infection becomes more re-
mote as the disease progresses toward
recovery. Treatment under open air con-
ditions is recommended by many ply
sicians. but IL the patient be permitted
to 20 out, this must be done without ex-
posing others to infection who have not
already had the disease
Diphtheria cases decreased from seyen-
teen to fifteen, and the number OF scarlet
fever cases was reduced from thirty
seven to thirty-six. Chickenpox cases
Increased from l35 to AZ, and measles
from 70 to log. Tuberculosis cases ad-
vanoed from !. .s0 to 1884
There were 1H deaths during the week.
There were four homicides and rfve sui
cides. Pneumonia caused twenty-rour
deaths, and pulmonary tuberculosis nine
teen. Diseases of the heart claimed
fourteen victims, apoplexy caused thir-
teen deaths, and eight persons died from
malignant growths.

Daddy Bedtime
Brave Dickie.
,SfOTU The Would Be
Lion Hunter

~ GOD nights had been said to the folks downstairs, and Jack and Eve
ln climbed the stairs with daddy.
Lets have a real jolly story tonight" said Jack
"Dickte said he was going to be a hunter when he grew up" be-
gan daddy. Then he could go away of to the Jungle where fierce wild ami
mas are found and shoot them with his gun.
"a bright afternoon Dicks grandpa took Dickie and Alice to the ZOO,
Wheret tn wild animals ire kept in cages for folks to look at
y course Dickie wished to go at once to the cages of the lions and tigers
They're the kind I'm going to shoot when I'm grown up he sale.
My, / think you'd be afraidr Alice murmured as they stopped In front
OF the cage of the fierce eyed tiger
Their grandfather just then looked around and saw a friend.
An, said grandfather, i must have a few words with himl Dick and
AIce stay here, and III be back in a minute Don't go close to the cages
They stepped along to the lions cage, and Dick exclaimed: There, now;
the lion. I'm going to hunt lions when I'm grown ND.
Alice shrank farther away from the iron cage, but the mention of eating
made her think of the bag OF cookies which they had brought with them.
I'm hungry said Alice So Dickie gave her a cookie and took out
for himself.
These lions. he told Alice, are awful cross. They sleep in caves all
day, and at night they come down to the rivers or the lakes in the Jungle
Then I'd be waiting for them behind the bushes, and I'd have a big gun and
shoot them
The old lion, who sat yawning in the cage didn't pay the least attention
what Dche said, but he noticed the big cookie which Dickie ws eating.
With a swift thrust he reached his paw through the bas of the cage
and grabbed Dickies cookie.
"Dtckie yelled, and grandpa, his friend and a keeper came running to see
what was the matter
%od Leo wouldn't hurt a n.y. the keeper said, but he does love cookies
"Dackte hadn't been hurt a bit for old Leo had brushed the cookie out OF
his hand OF the tip OF a claw.

GRAY HAIRS
QUICKLY vanish
A HARMLESS REMEDY, MADE
FROM GARDEN SAGE, RESTORES
COLOR TO GRAY HAIR.

A feeling of sadness accompanies
he discovery of the first gray hairs
which unfortunately are looked upon
as heralds OF advancing age. Gray
hair, however handsome it may be,
makes a person look old. We all know
the advantages of being young. Aside
from the good impression a youthful
appearance makes on others, simply
knowing that you are looking fit"
gives one courage to undertake and
accomplish things. So why suffer the
handicap of looking old on account of
gray hairs. when a simple remedy will
give our hair youthful color and
beauty in a few days time?
Most people know that common gar
den sage acts as a color restorer and
scalp tonic as well. Our grandmothers
used a Sage Tea" for keeping their
hair dark, soft and luxuriant. In
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Rem
edy we have an ideal preparation Of
Sage. combined with Sulphur and other
ing scalp and thin, weak hair that
is split al the ends or constantly com
ing out. A few applications of this
valuable remedy will bring back the
color, and in a short time it will re-
move every trace of dandruff and
greatly improve the growth n APP
pearance of the hair.
Get a fifty cen bottle from your
druggist today, and notice the differ
ence in your hair after a few days
treatment. All druggists sell 1t, under
guarantee that the money will ha re-
funded If the remedy is not exactly as
represented. Agents, Fout & Porter

FREAK ELECTION BETS.

Fargo had some freak election bets,
but the people of this city, fortu-
nately INDUCED in this form Of idiocy
less than some other sections of the
country. All kinds of stunts have been
pulled off over the country by people
who preferred something freakish to
putting up real money on the results.
Among the election losers in Wash
1ngton was a nan who had to walk
along Pennsylvania avenue for several
blocks on his hands, having previous
ly had his mustache shaved from one
side of his face. Another man pushed
a peanut with a crowbar from the
White House along Pennsylvania ave-
nue-until the crowd following him
grew so large that the police inter-
fered. A Wilson man sat In a car
riage while a Roosevelt enthusiast
hauled him from Georgetown to the
White House-the occupant of the car
riage using a horn and rattle in his
triumphant march. A Taft man
donned knee trousers, rode on a bicycle
to the White House and yelled through
a megaphOne, I'm glad Wilson won."
Another loser tried to carry an egg
on a fork UP the steps Of the Wash
ington monument-but dropped it and
had to mop up the steps. A Wilkes
barre, Pa, man is to pull an express
wagon from New York to Washington,
having made the bet that Roosevelt
would win.
Though humiliating to the loser
the paying of the penalties will be a
lesson to the danger of disregarding
the signs Of the political horizon. The
losers can be crassed as horrible ex-
amples of the "bummest" guessing ever
done on the winning of a presidential

FALL WORK..

North Dakota is a large state and
naturally there is considerable diff
terence in the methods and progress
Of farm work in different counties. In
the Red river valley, especially the
lower counties, and in all the southern
counties, fall work is much further
advanced than in other sections Of the
state.
The communities are older. The
larger farmers had their own thresh-
ing machinery. Many of the smaller
farmers stacked their grain. Being in
the gateway Of the state, they were
able to secure a full supply of transient
labor-and had the harvesting, shock
ing and t%hreshing lone at a reason
ably early period. In this way they
were able to do a great deal of plow-
ing.
There is a notable contrast the far
Their west and northwest one goes.
The crops in those sections were
just as large, the threshing machines
and transient labor were less numer-
Gus, and stacking grain almost un-
heard of. The wet weather caused a
congestion and the result was there
was not a great deal OF land available
Tor blowing during the early fall.
Recent good weather mas notably
improved conditions and the farmers
are hoping for it's continuance. While
the blowing at this late date is not
nearly so beneficial as early in the
fall, when the weeds are green and
before the seed have ripened. it is
still a great deal more effective than
spring plowing-in that it will enable
the farmers to seed earlier and
get their crops in more promptly. Wet
weather and unplowed fields in the
spring make an unfortunate condi-
tion-which leads to the grain being
stubbled in-probably the most shift
less method Of farming ever prac-
ticed in any country.
If North Dakota can have some more
Indian SUMMERTIME more the better
the farmers in the newer sections of
the state will get caught up-despite
adverse conditions earlier in the sea-
son.
There are many fields in the newer
counties that have been plowed early
but the general progress of fall work
has been delayed the farther west one
goes.
