need OK such "a law. Following too
rigldly the lines laid down by the com

old theory OF the law was that since
the commission Of suicide could not be
punished no attempt TO commit it
could be punished There are economic
and moral considerations which out
weigh thar theory and require an anti
suicidal attempt law The man who
tries to XIII himself is JUST as guilty Of
murderous attempt as the man who

GET YOUR MONEY BACK
If This Medicine Does Not satisfae-
toriiy Benefit You.

Practising physicians making a spe-
cialty of stomach troubles are really
responsible for the formula from
which Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets are
made. We have simply profited by
the experience of experts.
Our experience with Rexall Dyspep-
sia Tablets leads us to believe them to
be an excellent remedy for the relief
of acute indigestion and chronic dys-
pepsia. Their ingredients are sooth-
ing and healing to the infianaed mem
branes Of the stomach. They are rich
in pepsin. one of the greatest digestive
aids known to medicine. The relief
they afford is almost immediate Their
use with persistency and regularity
for short time helps to bring about
a cessation of the pains caused BY
stomach disorders.
Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets aid to in
sure healthy appetite, aid digestion
ami promote nutrition. AS evidence
of our sincere faith in Rexall Dyspep-
sia Tablets, we ask you to try them
at our risk. If they do not give you
entire satisfaction we will return you
the money you paid Us for them,
without question or formaIity. They
come in three sizes, prices IS cents,
SO cents, and $500. Remember, you
can obtain them only at our stores

roo MUCH KICKING.

This age is likely to be known as the
kicking period of the worlds history.
Just now. as never before, there are
people who seem TO think the chief aim
of mankind is to kick at everything.
Kicking has it's legitimate uses.
There are occasions when healthy,
lusty Kick is highly beneficial. If it
were not for kicking good ma
ture would be abused. An occasional
well directed kick is sane and healthy.
It's the petty, fault-finding kicks
that disgust the average man. The
kicking privileges--like many other
good things--are abused.
There seems to be a disposition in
North Dakota and in Fargo on the part
of some people to kick and pick flaws
on every opportunity-and where there
is no opportunity-to create one. This
system does not help the individual
the city--or the state.
Life is too short for this Time and
energy can be devoted to better things.
Kick like the proverbial bay steer
when a kick is necessary-but don't de-
generate into the whiny. chronic kind
--and above all don't go rummaging
around looking for chance to kick.

SALUTARY EFFECT.

Few men are so cold blooded as to
rejoice over the taking of human life
but the recent execution of four
y y-ung murderers in Chicago does not
cause great deal of grief. These four
thugs held up an honest and innocent
farmer. After taking his money--they
brutally told their victim how they in
tended killing him. The unfortunate
man pleaded piteously-but was slain.
The members Of the quartette no
doubt supposed they would never be
caught. Even if they felt they might
be captured they regarded the possi-
bility of hanging as remote. They
had noted the infrequency with which
murderers are hanged. They had also
learned of the clemency extended by
the boards of pardon.
Their execution should have deter
ent effect on future criminals. A wide
circulation of the facts of their exc
cution might TO some degree offset the
evil effects of the wholesale pardons-
granted by the North Dakota state
board.

THE CENTRAL MARKET.

Fargoans should not lose sight of
the central market proposition It's a
good thing and worthy of being boost
ed. There are many people who are
convinced the central market idea will,
in measure. solve the problem of the
high cost of living. .
Indianapolis is just now in the lime
light in relation to central markets.
The splendid fight made by Mayor
Shank against the eXorbitant price of
groceries resulted in the establishment
of market. This is said to have
made a noticeable reduction in the
price of most things that supply the
family table.
If the plan was a success in a large
city like the Indiana metropolis-why
could4.'t it win in city the size of
this? Fargo is surrounded by the fin
est farming section on earth--where
everything can be raised in great
ahnndan@e If there is any one place
on t',e map where central market
could secure supplies Fargo is that
spot.

HUNTER POTATO CROP
Minnesota Potato Firm Will Build
Branch House at Hunter, NJ. d.
Warehouse to Be Erected.

The w. H. Ferrill Co, Of Princeton,
Mimi, one of the large potato houses
of the northwest. has decided to estab-
lish branch house at Hunter, N. ID.
this spring and in the very near future
fine new warehouse will be erected at
that place.
1t is reported that this firm, which
has been in the potato business for
many years and made a success of it,
is capitalized at 100000 and win
launch the Hunter branch with the best
equipment possible. The Hunter branch
will be in position to buy large share
of the crop in this vicinity next fall.
Yesterday Pres. Harry M. Weiser of
the Farmers & Merchants bank of
Hunter was in the city and stated that
he felt sure the business would be a
large one and would encourage potato
growing in this section of North Da-
kota.

THE PARCELS POST.

The following is the view taken of
the parcels post by The Chicago Rec
ora Herald, in a recent editorial:
II is gratifying to learn that the
house postal committee has. with prac-
tieal unanimity voted to make an app
preparation for limited and expert
mental parcels post The experiment
would be made on the rural mail deiiy-
cry routes between July |, 1918 and
June 80. 1914. Meantime a commits

would be studying the question OF a
general parcels post and preparing data
Eor congressional guidance at the exS
piratior OF the two-year period.
The action of the house committee is
in line with repeated recommendation
Of the postmaster general and the
president. Some of the arguments that
have been advanced pro and con q gen
eraI parcels post can be tested only by
actual practice. The strongest objec-
tipzis made to a parcels post in the
UDsted states do not apply to rural de-
iTery routes. The rural merchants anc
stArekeepers, as well as the business
men OF the smaller towns, should ac-

LOAN SHARKS.

With the recurrence of spring the
periodical attacks on the loan sharks
are appearing in the press. In time
t,7ng may be effective. But much de-
pends on the good sense of the VIC
Tins.
Just now there is more bitterness
against 80 loan sharks than in other
seasons. People are frequently COM
PEELED by the increased expenses of the
winter-and by illness and for other
reasons-to patronize the sharks.
When spring comes the victims feel
their burdens worse.
There are occasions when loan
sharks are beneficial. There are times
when some people need money badly
and it is cheap-even at the usurious
rats charged by the sharks. But gem
orally speaking the men in that busi-
ness grind down their victims to the
last notch and exact the last pound Of
flesh.
If any unfortunate victims are
ground down too mercilessly-there is
recourse. Consult an honorable at
torney. H, can straighten out the
matter=--for few of the sharks dare go
into the courts and expose their exor-
bitant rates of interest and other meth
ods of graft.
