". P. OWENS CALLED HOME
WELL KNOWN n DICKINSON

William P. Owens, one of the most
prominent and highly respected citizens
of the Slope country. died at his heme
in Manning shortly after the midniah,
hour of Sunday, February 10th. For
several months it was known that Mr..
Owens was suffering from cancer of the
atomach and that death was q matter
of q short time only. The final sum
mons found him ready to begin life in
another world in the same noble man
ner that characterized his every duty
in this world.
In the death of deceased, the slope
country. Dunn and Stark counties in
particular, is bereaved of one of its
most beloved and worthy citizens. w.
p. Owens was a brother to every man
in his county and they all loved him.
They loved him because he was ever
ready and willing to assist them. and
because he always had a square deal
and good word for everybody. He
was an influential man in the county
and will be greatly missed in business
circles.
His death was sad one but beauti-
ful, if such comparison can be made.
He was only a comparatively young
man and mad bright future before
him. He was especially devoted to his
faithful wife and two little daughters
and it was hard for him to leave them.
He had worked hard and was getting in
"a position to realize his many plans for
No happiness and comfort Of his FAM

$50, 10000 FOR DICKINSON
Federal BUILDING
City Should Have Congress Authorize Terms u S. Court for Dickinson
II Perfectly Feasible Things That Will Bring Another Railroad
and Make Dickinson the Great Distributing Point West Of
the Missouri River.

Dickinson has received q federal ap-
pzopfiation Of $50, 0O0.oo for the new
postofRce building. The bill was intro
duced by Congressman Heigeson for
500. 600. 90. and the committee recon-
amended its passage at $50. 10000.
This does not mean that work will
commence this year = perhaps not next
on the government building, the site
for which is alreadv purchased at an
expense Of $40, 600. previously provided
for BY congress. The work ON public
buildings is far behind and unless an
entirely new policy is adopted. the
Dickinson postofice will not be ready
for occupancy fF three or four years vet.
The plan for the Dickinson public
building will include not only the post
Office needed In a city of 10. 600 to Us, :
600. but a u. S. weather bureau and
land Office quarters as we'll.
During the present year the citizens
of Dickinson should esy ct buand secure
the enactment by congress of law au-
thorizing the holding of U. S. district
court terms in this city. Dickinson is
central in southwestern North Dakota
and there is no reason why terms of u.
S. court should not be held here within
q few years.
As soon as this is accomplished. an
emergency bill should be intEoduced in
congress asking for an additional ap-
propriation Tor our federal building.
One fourth OF the entire area Of North
Dakota is west and south of the Mis-
souri, river and Dickinson. on the main
line Of the Northern Pacific, is in about
the center of this Territory. Terms Of
federal court are now held al Fargo,
e Grand Faeksss Devils .tsaker lainoe alld
Bismarck. Litieants in ahe higher cour,
from southwestern North Dakota are q,
present compelled to travel hundreds oa
miles and it is not only expensive se

but to the government as we'll.

If Dickinson is to gain its proper su-

William P. Owens was born on a
farm a, Woodstock, Iowa. AZ years ago
last April. He graduated from the
high school at that place and was ma
circulated at Cornell College. Mt. ver-
non, Iowa. for three years. After this
he taught school for two years and was
with the State bank of Woodstock for an
other two years. He also served as de-
putty treasurer of Wright county, Iowa,
for one term. Recognizing the oppor-
tunities in the west he came in 1908 to
Dunn county. where he has since made
his home. He organized the Owens
Land & Live Stock Co. and purchased
a large tract of land on Knife river.
In 1908. when Dunn county was Or
eanized. W. p. Owens was appointed
treasurer and was elected to the same
Office at the gen eral election in Novem-
Der of the same year. He was director
and first cashier of the Dunn County
State bank of which W. {, Richards of
Dickinson is president and Robert Will
cox, vice president. He was succeeded
as cashier by his only brother, Harvey
N. Owens, who followed him
from Iowa several years ago. W. r.
Owens was closely associated with and
influential in the development of Man
ming and of Dunn county. He was in
terested in many enterprises and al
ways made good. He did not take a
homestead but with his brother farmed

were brought to Dickinson on Tuesday
and taken to the home of his father at
Eagle Grove, where funeral services
were to be held at one clock on Thurs
day and the body inferred at Webster
City beside the remains of his mother,
who died about two years ago.
Along with his other business affairs.
Mr.. Owens was great church worker
and organized the first Sunday school in
Dunn county. He was generous, SYM
pathetic and unselfish honest with
himself and with the world. He had q
noble character and will be rewarded

congress ended tonight with reception
at a local hotel.
According to papers read by eminent
authorities life in cells taken from liv-

under certain conditions for more than
four years after the animal from which
they were taken ceased to exist. The
speakers declared thats4t ultima tely would

is a great piece of humor, conscious
or unconscious that sex appeal was

Saturday. 1t becomes grim humor

This is the opening paragraph in an
authoritative statement from Mrs. A. J.
George of Boston, a famous anti-suf-
fragist, given out here this evening at
the Washington headquarters of the
National Association Opposed to Wom-
en- Suffrage.
1t is more than inconsistent" con-
tinues Mrs. George in her statement,
"for women to talk of bridling the
faults and vices of men and then to
conduct and dress themselves in such
manner that their preaching is de-
prived of any weight.
in the suffragist parade on Satur-
day there We're to be seen those things
which are commonly and rightfully de-
cried by all men and women who wish
to see society improved. The sheath
gown, the split skirt, the low necked
gown in the broad light of day, and
the general bizarre effect which could
be calculated to make to men a dis
tinctly woman's appeal. 1t all goes T.,
show that sex is at the bottom of the
suffrage disturbance as it is at the
bottom of other misguided movements
and fancies to which the uneasy and
dissatisfied women of the present day
devote themselves.

future the physician who allows
those under his care to get sick will
be called upon to explain Just as the
master mechanics are called upon to-
day to explain IL their engines are
not in order. e
This is an entirely new way of
looking at the work of physician.
but the new facts of PREVENTIVE
SCIENCE make 1t possible for him
TO do this work, and he must do il.
We already have this practice in
dealing with PUBLIC HEALTH offh
oials and epidemic diseases IA an
epidemic OF smallpox Is threatened,
the mayor, the press and the public
demand an explanation Immediately.
We know that these diseases can be
prevented, and If they are not pre-
vented we must know who is at fault.
The individual in the future will as
sumo this same attitude toward the
physician in whose hands he has
placed the keeping of his health and
the health of his wife and children.
The individual will know that disease
can be prevented, and if 1t Is not
prevented lie will demand an explana-
tion of the physician in charge.
In this new field. the physician will
not be able to look after as many
families as he does today but he
will do vastly more for those he does
take charge of. lie will study tho
breathing the diet the exercise. +
etc, of each Individual under his
care, examine each one frequently,
tracing out all the nerves, both motor
and sensor, and by so doing he wilt
prevent FIRST WEAKNESS of the
heart. lungs, bowels, kidneys, etc,
which is the first step toward disease
"a weakness which so many have
without knowing it.
The physician will do all this work,
and without any reference to the
question of pain. For as pain In a
tooth comes frequently only after
much damage is done, and the tooth
is greatly decayed, so pain in the
body, especially in vital organ, Is
often the signal of a disease far ad-
yanceG.
PREVENTIVE SCIENCE now goes
beyond the sensation of pain, and not
only prevents it, but prevents the
disasters which would follow It, as
we'll as those other and greater dis
asters which develop without warm
ing In the half of your nerves which
does not feel-the half which has no
pain.

Nerve Energy and Health
(Articlc Three-Continued)

The PREPARATION STAGE of
disease therefore is stage of weak
ness-a stage where, owing to an
obstruction on the nerve connecting
"a certain part with the brain, that
part receives 80, so, 20, or 80 units
of electric power instead of its full
100 units, and thereby becomes
weakened and liable to diseases to
which 1t is not subject so long as 1t
receives it's normal quantity of power.
Now the point to remember in this
connection Is. that the nerves which
run from the brain TO a part are mo-
>tor nerves-the kind that do not feel
and this process of squeezing them
and reducing the electric power of a
part is. therefore. as mentioned,
painless. While sensor nerves may
be involved, the condition of re-
ducing the power of a part must
take place in the currents OUTGofAG
from the brain, and OUTGOING cur
rents flow through that half of the
nerves which does not feel.
Hence it Is. that you may be In the
PREPARATORY STAGE of disease.
and this stage may advance through
months and even years and finally
result in instant death without you
ever having had the slightest pain.
Sudden death from heart disease or
apoplexy is now found to be only the
climax of the PREPARATORY
STAGE, which in most cases has
been gradually coming on in the mo-
tor nerves for years. Death in these
cases is sudden, but the condition
which results in death is not sudden
Not only in heart disease and apo
plexy, but in many diseases, the
first stage is painless. Paralysis is
rarely attended by pain. The first
stages of nearly all diseases of the
kidneys are painless. The first stages
of consumption are PAINLESS. The be-
ginning of tumors and growths of all
kinds is painless. Tumors and growths
are generally of some size before
they are noticed. and when they
are noticed nine times out of ten
it Is the result of accident. The rea-
son of this is that they begin In the
motor nerves.
Hence, it is seen that pain is in
deed an imperfect Indicator Of bodily
conditions. Preventive Science does
not trust to it. 1t has developed a
method of examination and treat
ment which goes beyond the pain
signal.
Where pain exists, 1t does not al
low itself to be missed as to its true
at distant point from where the
pain Is felt, as we have seen. And,
what Is OF greatest Importance is that
the new method of examination and
treatment extends to the motor
nerves-to those nerves which do not
feel-detecting and correcting those
slight imperfections in them, which
are the cause Of that FIRST STAGE
OF weakness without which no disease
is possible.
These new discoveries of PREVEN-,
TIVE SCIENCE will soon change our
habits and methods of life, and also
the work OF the physician. Instead
of giving our body no attention un-
til we suffer pain and are taken
down with disease, and then sending
for doctor to cure us, every one
Will undergo a careful physical ex-
animation frequently, from the
standpoint Of these new discoveries
Every physician must master the new
method of examination and treat
ment, and II will become his work to
keep his patients we'll
