~ Like a LAIRD SO1o
Never has anything produced such
wonderful results as the new flesh
builder, Protone. Thin. anaemic, pale

men and women take on a most re-
markable new lease of life.
J The hollow places fill out, the nerve
are sheathed with healthy covering,
the eyes lose that hungry pleading ex-
preston, and o feel better and
stronger in every part of the body. The
secret is in the fact that Protone cor.
reefs the faults Of assimilation. Your
food is converted into the kind Of
blood that makes solid flesh. Your en-
tire system becomes greedy for this
new, rich, red material.
Thin people are often hearty eaters.
but the blood is watery. The substan.
tial elements don't get into the circu-
!ation, but pass along without being
aassimilated. But Protone has the
most remarkable effect Of ~arousing
Intestinal absorption of food elements
and it is nothing unusual for thin men
n women to gain weight a pound a
day until normal is reached. Nature
takes care of this, for when the ma
tural weight has been attained. the
surplus is converted into waste and
thrown out through the emunctories
Of the body.
. The regular s1.oO size of Protone is
for sale by all druggists, or will be
mailed direct, upon receipt Of price, by
The Protone Co, 1879 Protone Bldg.
Detroit. Mich.
By all means get the free .50-cent
package Of Protone for it will positive

of health. but you feel it. Fill out the

The sheriff and his deputy had been
up with Lundy two nights, and were
pretty well worn out. The deputy
was in the sleeper getting some much
needed rest. and the sheriff was in
the coach with his prisoner. when he,
too. dozed OFF. The negro opened the
sheriffs grip. extracted the warrant
and other papers, which he tore up,
and then slipped out Of the car and
dropped from the train two miles
south Of Redield.
The sheriff was aroused by the con-
|ductor almost Immediately. and drop
ped off the train a mile further north,
but could get no trace Of the fugitive.
Two automobiles loaded with sherifs'
posses were sent out from Redieid
and towards dark found the negro ten
miles from Hitchcock. and brought
him back to Redfeld. The sheriff
and his deputy and the prisoner were
brought to Aberdeen and the negro

N|N0T men TO
Make PROTEST
Proposed Increase in Insur-
ance Rates is Not Look
ed on Favorably.

.Minot. n. D., Feb. ia determin.
ed protest will probably be made by
the business men of Minot against the
proposed increase in insurance rates
on property in the city. which will
probably go into effect March /.
The increase II put into effect will
mean an increase OF approximately
$4,000 per year in the amount paid
by the citizens Of Minot yearly in In
this increase Is not justified by tho
present conditions.
II Is probable that q petition will
be sent to the insurance companies
asking the reason for the increase,
and setting forth the willingness OF
the citizens Of Minot to do all in their
power to reduce insurance risks
around the city.
+. L. Sherman. secretary Of the
Commercial club. said that he believed
that such a petition would stand an
excellent chance Of favorable consid-
GRAFTON by the companies.
1t Is pointed out h a during the
last twelve years the companies have
been making a good profit nde the
old rates. During a large part Of this
time moreover the fire risks on much
OF the property in the city were much
greater than they are at present.
Inc clty q recently put IN a $SOV.-
900 water system which it was hoped
when it would be installed. would
tend to lower the insurance rates
rather than increase them.
1t Is also pointed out that a num-
her of strictly modern buildings have
recently been erected in the city AID
it is difficult to see why the rates on
these should be increased.
On the Fair store building for ex-
ample. it is proposed to raise the
rate from 81 to $3.50 per 800 Of in
surance. in spite Of the fact that the
Fair Is one Of the most modern and
fire proof buildings in the city.
Many other buildings on which 1t
Is proposed to raise the rates have
also been improved until they are
much better risks than was the case
formerly.
Taking all Of these facts into con-
sheraton. it is generally felt that
the increase at this int is not justi-
fed by the conditions in h city and
a determined protest should be
made.
It is possible that a mass meeting
may be called to consider the ques-
ton more thoroughly.

OLYMPIA. Wash. Jan. 25.-ln
an effort 10 smooth over the rough
shod work of Speaker Taylor in his
obvious attempt 10 squelch the
Houser resolution to investigate
the monopoly conditions of the
harbor cities OF the state. the Sum
ner hush" committee has decided
to investigate in the open and even
to call upon Rep. Houser to give
testimony.
That this open investigation is
but another blind. calculated to
give the "unholy alliance an OPP
portunity to crawl out of the tight
hole It got itself in, is evidenced
sufficiently by the fact that the
Sumner committee was never ere
ated to get at the bottom OF the
llouser charges.
IL was merely TO investigate
whether another committee shall
be appointed To investigate"
But talk of an open investiga-
tion" sounds good after the steam
roller paved the way to stifle a
real investigation. Sumner himself
admitted In debate a bona fide in
vestigation could not be made in
one week. That is all his dummy
committee will last.
The only chance for real inves
tigation of the Houser charges j.
that democrats, possibly to avoid
embarrassing tho democratic nd

approval of the hush committee

have committed a tactical blunder
