A DIFFERENCE.
II Paid This Man to Change Food.

What is called good living eventu-
ally brought me to a condition quite
the reverse Of good health writes a
n. Y. merchant.
Improper eating told on me till my
stomach became SO weak that food
nauseated me, even the lightest and
simplest lunch, and l was much de-
pressed after a night of uneasy slum-
Der, uniting me for business.
This condition was discouraging,
as / could find no way to improve II.
Then l say the advertisement of
Grape-Nuts food, and decided to try
IT, and became delighted with the re-
suit.
For the past three years / have
used Grape-Nuts and nothing else for
my breakfast and for lunch before re-
firing. 1t speedily set my stomach right
and I congratulate myself that / have
regained my health. There Is no great.
er comfort for a tired man than a
lunch of Grape-Nuts. 1t insures restful
sleep, and an awakening in the morn

and hopefulness.

FulIer's Earth.

Fuller's earth, so named from its
earliest use in fulling wool, is a
rather rare, soft, friable rock whose
value depends altogether on it's tex
ture and it's fltering and absorbent
properties. 1t has no definite compo-
sition, mineralogically, its physical
properties rather than a chemical an
alysis determining it's commercial
value. Fuller's earth was first pro.
duced In the United States in the
early 'nineties.

o RATES FIXED.
Mitchell Council Adopts an Ordinance
Which Will Start Fight.

VHtSb WIN Htk
Mitchell.-By the adoption of a new
telephone ordinance the city council
OF this city has precipitated what is
believed will result in the biggest tele-
phone war ever witnessed in the state,
and which without doubt will be
fought out in the courts. With the
installation of the automatic tele-
phone, the Dakota Central company
will ask for a higher rate at the end
of their franchise which expires May
IL. Anticipating this, the city council
adopted a new ordinance which defines
the new rates, and they are on an av-
/ erage of so cents lower than the tele-
phone company insists they must have
to make the business pay. The rates
adopted by the council are $3.50 for
a business phone, $3.50 for residence
ana SIPS and s1.00 for two and -four
party lines. The ordinance does not
become effective until May IL, when IL
will be published, and a copy of the
same will be sen out to the company
at Aberdeen. One of the features of
the ordinance is that if it is not ac-
cepted in writing by the company
within thirty days after it is published,
the acceptance to be accompanied by
a written waiver or surrender of all
rights granted by previous ordinances
or resolutions of the council, then the
same becomes null and void. This is
taken to NEAR if the company fails to
accept the conditions of the new fran
chise within the prescribed time, there
will be no franchise after May II, and
the city will take steps to ~disconnect
all phoaes in the city. 1t is predicted
by several members of the council
this action will be taken, for ii is not
believed the company will accept the
provisions of the ordinance. With the
city council standing pat on It's action,
il is believed the company will take
the case to the courts for adjustment,
which has been its rule in several diff
ferences with the city over franchise
matters in the past. There is a strong
probability that the city will be with
out a telephone system after May II.
The city has been forced to sue the
company for the recovery of between
$4,000 and $1,000 due it under the pres
ent franchise, which requires a pay
ment of a certain per cent of its gross
receipts, and has won its case.

II appears that this year vouchers

Corson and Haney retiring up to noon

general holds that these warrants
should not have been issued. and that
act cannot reduce the amount due the

OF a state officer is to be paid by cal
endar months and not run over to

will be a double header with Doug

exceptionally strong team. Douglas
has been getting in plenty of practice
while the locals have been idle on
account of quarantine regulations.
The smelter bunch is particularly
strong in pitching.
There is no doubling the local team
has a strong line up. The players
represent some of the best diamond
skill in the southwest. They have
not had much practice but will get in
as much as possible this week. IN
the opening game of the season both
teams will get their first try out. and
although the seasoned ball of mid
season will not be witnessed. the
game bids fair to an excellent attrac-
ton. Many Douglas fans win ac-
company their team and the whole
bunch may come in special car.
Negotiations for games with out
