THEY INIuRE
cathartios and Pills and Harsh Ply
sizes May Cause Distressing
COMPLAINTS

You cannot be o~ver-careful in the
selection of medicine for children.
Only the very gentlest bowel medicine
should ever be given. Ordinary Pills,
cathartics, ana purgatives are too apt
to do more harm than good. They
sometimes aus gripping, nausea, and
distressing after-effects; and may ac-
tually injure the health, thus estab-
fishing a ife-lasting annoyance.
We personally recommend and guar
antee Rexall Orderlies as a safe and
dependable remedy for constipation
n such faith in the virtues of this
remedy that We sell it on our guar
antee Of money back in every instance
where it fails to give entiEe satisfac-
ton, and we urge all in need Of such
medicine to try it at u risk.
Rexall Orderlies are eaten just like
candy, are particularly prompt and
agreeable in action, may be taken at
any time, day or night; do not cause
diarrhoea, nausea, gripping, excessive
~looseness, or other undesirable effects.
They have a very mild but positive
action upon the organs with which
they come in contact, apparently act
ing as a regulative tonic upon the re-
Taxed muscular coat Of the bowel,
thus overcoming weakness, and aiding
to restore the bowels to more Wig
orous and healthy activity.
Rexall Orderlies not only relieve
constipation, but help to remove the
cause Of this ailment. They also fire.
quently overcome the necessity Of
constantly taking laxatives to keep
the bowels in normal condition.
There is really, in our opinion, no
similar medicine so good as Rexall
Orderlies for the purpose to which it
is directed, especially for children,
aged and delicate persons. They are
prepared in tablet form and in two
sizes of packages; IL tablets, IOc, IS
tablets, 25c., and so tablets, soc. Re-
member, you can obtain Rexall Rem
edies in this community only at our
stores-The Rexall Stores. Fargo

END IN SIGHT.


North Dakotans have experienced
some cold weather this winter. The
storms have not been Of unusual Sc
verify but the cold was extreme at
times-and long drawn out. In other
parts of the country-especially in
some sections which were wont to
boast Of the mildness Of the climate
the winter has been even more severe.
than here. Few sound and healthy
people kick much about the low tenn
perature. The protest is against the
long continued cold.
The indications are sever weather
will soon be a thing of the past, That
there are likely to be some real cold
days between now and spring is a
certainty-but the sun is climbing too
high for any long cold spells.
With the milder weather will also
come other changes which will glad
den the hearts Of the people. The
fuel bills will be reduced. Eggs and
butter will be cheaper-and the cost of
living will be visibly reduced. Vege
tables will soon be on the market and
less meat will be required. At the
same time work will be more abundant
and outdoor life more general and
pleasant.
With the approach of spring bust
ness will become more active. There
will be a quickened movement of all
Industries. More large enterprises
will be undertaken. The confidence of
the country in the general prosperity
of the American people will be strong
Grand have more effect upon trade.
The longer days and brighter sun
shine are typical of the changed con-
ditions at hand-which NEAR much to
the millions of men and women of the
United States.

DRYING sPuDs.

The Germans dry potatoes and use
them to a great advantage. BY a proc
ess that costs only $3.50 per ton,
three-fourths of the water is removed
from the spuds. The dry product
doesn't rot or spoil like the natural
potato and is kept for a long period.
1t is used for both human and stock
foed-with splendid results.
North Dakota is a great potato
growing center. Why couldn't the
drying process be carried into effect in
this state? 1t would be a much cas-
Ter method of saving the potatoes than
the present plans and those shipped
commercially could be handled SO
much more cheaply that the cost of
drying would easily be overcome.

FOR HOUSE
ON PATRIOTIC GROUNDS.

Cogswell, N. d., FEB. Ito The
Forum: Every citizen is or should
be interested in the political affairs Of
the state in which he lives. and
in the political welfare Of the nation.
] profess to come UP to this measure
of a citizens duty. / am interested
IN who shall be the incumbent Of each
Of the several elective offices of North
Dakota.
However, my interest in these things
is not Of the selfserving sort. ! am
satisfied with the station in life which
] have the honor to fill and ask no
office in the gift OF my country. But
as a private citizen I have my views
on this subject and my preference,
which, by your leave. l beg the OPP
~portunity to express,
Would it not be fine, If for once
North Dakota should drop all politics
as to governor and kindly ask all other
candidates to politely step aside-all
parties ! mean-and give clear track
to Hon. Smith Stimmel of Casselton?
is it not time that North Dakota
should have its old servants OF the
republic, who placed their lives on
their country's altar in the days OF
peril?
Would it be 0 much to kindly ask
all candidates for secretary OF state
to respectfully decline the race in
favor of Hon. VIM. NJ. House. the
sage Of Wyndmere? Mr.. House is al
SO a representative Of that noble army
OF the republic. whose ranks are be-
ing rapidly decirnated by the ravages
of time.
The elevation of these noble men to
those places of honor and trust, would
make a proud record for this genera
ton that would illustrate the age in
which we live, and would be a SPLEEN
did example Of practical patriotism.
Will we do it? or is our patriotism
of the firecracker brand?
This writer's love to see deserving
men suitably recognized, is the sole
motive in writing these lines. ! have
asked counsel Of only my own heart
and my head approves Of the deed.

WASHINGTON
GEORGES BODY sERvANTs.
BY ROY K. MoULTON
Copyright 1911, by North American Press syndicate.


of a standpat congressman making a
speech in his home district.
"Ah, ha! If you are old enough to
have been George Washington,s body
servant how could your name be Abra-
ham Lincoln?"
Well, boss, you see it's dis yere way.
| iherited it from my fathah and he
'herited it from my gran'father, SO /
have got de job now. / am Washing
toms body servant. My fathah done
tole me so. Ny gran'fathah he thought
of ii first and held de job till he die,
den he turn it over to my fathah an he
turn it owe to me. My son will be de
personal body servant OF Marse Wash
ington in a few yeahs now"
There was no argument to be used
against that. 1t runs In the family like
caulifower ears, pug noses or wooden
legs, and the only thing to do is to
hand over the price. When we see a
personal body servant Of George
Washington loom up on the horizon
now we simply dig and ask no ques-
tons.
The Washington monument is. $50
feet in height. The top Of this monu-
nnent is the only point In Washington
from which it lis possible to overlook
the sins Of the United States senate.
You get to the top of the monument
by means OF an elevator, and you can
come back any way you want. II you
are in b hurry it is better to jump, for
BY doing so you can get back to Wash
ington in an incredibly short space
of time. From the top OF the monu-
ment an ordinary citizen on the ground
looks to be about as small as a flea.
some of the statesmen look a great
deal smaller than that, especially since
the recent election.
The monument Is heated by steam
and lighted by electricity inside, but
would not care 10 use it as a place ot
residence. The ceiling lis too high, and
it requires a lot of wall paper to cover
1t IN the spring. Tbe monument Is
about fifty feet square at the bottom
and IS sharp at the top. They probably
~sharpened it at the top 70 that no loaf
ers would sit ON Il. ! am going ul
