SUNDAY THIS WEEK..

Billy Sunday, the evangelist, is to be

his past experiences are repeated there

Aegreat deal of energy will be used UP.
a lot Of Fargo people may be roasted

Grand a great many hundreds Of Wis
'tors will be brought to Fargo through
their curiosity to see Sunday.
The Forum has never been enthused
owe the coming Of the evangelist-not
because it felt that Fargo was sancti-
ied-but rather a it doubted the
permanency Of the results attained.
Sentiment is largely divided as to
whether Sunday does cities permanent
good or permanent injury. In many
places, where he has been. the testi-
mony is largely in favor of the evan
geist. In other cities many claims
NAS maui LAaL 4lS WOLh was SSuSdIlOu-
al and hysterical-and that the evil
effects frequently offset the good.
The results of his campaign in Far
go will no doubt depend largely on the
people of this city. themselves. Now
that he is coming, Sunday is entitled
to every cooperation and considera-
ton. Judgment should be suspended
till he has time to prove what he can
do.
II the results are beneficial to Far
go-al fair minded people will readily
concede it. If harmful effects are
proven beyond a doubt-the deserved
condemnation will be forthcoming.
The Forum bespeaks a fair and re-
specttuI hearing for che evangelist and

at least, entertaining.

OWN YOUR OWN HOME.

Do you own your own home? If
you don't whose fault is it? The odds
are that you are to blame for your
homeless condition.
II you don't own a home now is the
time to acquire one. Not for years
has Fargo offered such opportunities
as this season. If you have a vacant
lot, that's a sufficient start. If you
have no lot you can purchase one
cheapIy. There is no reason why you
can't secure a homeland it need not
be a shack or a shanty. Show that
you mean business and a comfortable
cottage or bungalow will be yours.
There are many methods of secur-
ing the homes. All hat is needed is a
little start-to show hat you are in
earnest and will make regular MONTH
ly payments.
Does it pay to own a home of your
own? Ask any one who does. Ask
them if it is worth while to work a
little harder. practice economy to have
the proud consciousness of being in
YOU own home?
Buy a home, don't purchase blindly,
foolishly. Don't make unreasonable
contracts that you can't meet. Take
nothing for granted. Investigate. See
that the abstract is all right. Deal
through honest agents, Don't take
any mans unsupported word. A little
information from the neighbors may
prove helpful and prevent a lot of
grief.
Take your time, use common sense,
don't be stampeded-but buy a home.
Do it this spring.
Buy it in Fargo.

SWAT THE FLIES.

The fly swatting time will soon ar
rive. The annoying pests are not
here yet, but history n flies repeat
themselves and the latter are more
certain.
The time to effectively swat flies is
before they arrive. The way to do
this is to destroy every possible breed
ing place. Every livery stable, every
back yard, private vault, every un-
slightly pile of filth, every untidy and
ilkempt kitchen-should be removed
or renovated. These furnish the breed
ing ground for the pests-and if there
are no such places there will be no an
moving and pestilential flies. The
dread disease of typhoid and other
sickness will be less easily communi-
cable.
Get busy and swat the unmatched
millions of fiies-now.

Homesteaders Returning.

Aberdeen, s. p, April Hundreds
of South Dakota homesteaders are re-
turning to their claims weekly, after
spending the winter elsewhere to Sc
cure employment to tide them over The
winter season and the poor crop season
last year. Not a day goes by that If
teen o. twenty cars of immigrants
moveables do not pass through Aber-
deem on the Milwaukee road, bound for
the homestead country in northwestern
South Dakota. Many of the returning
homesteaders take relatives or friends
with them who contemplate filing on
lane or purchasing decided land in that
section of the state. The returning
homesteaders all express confidence in
the future of the region, and none of
them regard the short crop of last
year as a serious drawback to the
country.

Press Comment

Kenmare News: Hells poppin' in
the democratic rankes since the results
OF the first primaries have been made
known. 1t is known to many through
out the state, that the present execu-
tive a been quietly urging the demo-
Gratis in many quarters to vote for the
mar of his choice. John Burke has a
machine of his own. The m~anoeuvres
manipulated by Burke, Collins and Nc
Arthur have disguised many of the
old war horses who are now more on
playing them. While it is conceded
that Hellstrom will be Burke's choice
for governor, many believe that even
though. Hellstrom should receive the
democratic nomination, he will be UNI
der the absolute dictation of Burke,
which means that should the oppor-
tunity be ripe. Hellstrom will lay down
like a poisoned pup" and make way
for Honest John for a fourth term.
Steele Ozone: The Billy Sunday
travesty on religion gets its grip on
Fargo, after Sunday had wired that
his pie had been soured by DIR. Boards
refusal to personally join in the feast.
There is no doubt a lot of sincere
church people are deluded into the no
ton that a man who tears around the
country like a kind of hypnotic irri-
tant is doing religious work Of real
value on a big scale, but to a good
many Sunday seems a fakir Of the
worst kind. He goes only to places
that will raise him thousands of dol
lars, and his advance agent. Gill,
adopted the policy Of trying to emove
opposition to that style OF evangeliz-
ing by OBTAINING and bully-ragging
men like DR.. Beard, and denouncing
all who agreed with him as hypocrites
and aiders of the devil. 1t seems
strange that even after the low taste
exhibited by Gill citizens of standing
should be found in Fargo who would
tolerate, not to say seek, the presence
Of Sunday In the city as a religious
teacher"

Cripples and persons with infamma-

We are so positive that our remedy
will permanently relieve constipation.
no matter how chronic 1t may be, that
we offer to furnish the medicine at our
expense should It fail to produce sat
isfactory results.
It is worse than useless to attempt
to cure constipation with cathartic
drugs. Laxatives or cathartics do
much harm. They cause a reaction,
i%rritate, and weaken the bowels and
tend to make constipation more chron-
ic. Besides, their use becomes a hab-
1t that is dangerous.
Constipation Is caused by a weak
ness Of the nerves and muscles of the
large intestine or descending colon.
To expect permanent relief you must
therefore tone up and strengthen these
organs and restore them to a healthier
activity.
We want you to try Rexall Orderlies
on our recommendation. They are
exceedingly pleasant to take, being
eaten like candy, and are ideal for
children, delicate persons, and old
folks, as we'll as for the robust. They
act directly on the nerves and muscles
of the bowels. They apparently have
a neutral action on other associate
organs or glands. They do not purge,
cause excessive Iooseness, nor create
any Inconvenience whatever. They
may be taken at any time, day or
night. They will positively relieve
chronic or habitual constipation, If not
of surgical variety, and the myriads
of associate or dependent chronic all
ments, IL taken with regularity for a
reasonable length Of time. IL tablets,

PAVING THE ALLEYS.

Last fall a start was made at paw
ing the alleys. Work was stopped
when it was learned there was some
thing wrong with the contract. A
glance at the alleys along the business
streets, at this time, will convince the
most sceptical of the necessity for paw
ing them.
They are cesspools. The filth and
mud carried out of them makes the
paved streets even worse than they
would normally be. 1t is hoped the
alleys in the business districts can all
be paved during the coming summer.
