District Game Warden South. The
officers came here to investigate.

that Glenwood, who had secured a
resident license, lived in Princeton,
III. He owns several farms here
and spends part Of each fall look
ing after his property. He evil
dently became frightened and turn
ed back his resident licence.,. The
officers learned he hunted last year
without a nonresident license and
prosecuted him on that charge, the
fine being in excess of what he
would have been compelled to, pay
for nonresident license. Just
because actual and bona fide resi-
dents can hunt on their own lands
without license, some of the non
residents feel they have the same
privilege.
For an early violation OF the
game laws one of the tenants Of
Glenwood's lands was fined and the

The supreme court OF the state
of North Dakota last week handed
down decision reversing the de-
cision of the district court in the
case of Thomas Braaten VS.. C. r.
Olson as county treasurer and the
cdHnay commissioners of Burke
county, It will be rem embered
that shortly after the county was
organized or in April, 1911 the
county commissioners employed
! Ralph. Abbott to transcribe some of
the Ward county records at a CIV
en- sum per day.. The amount of
the bill sent in was considerably
over 500 and it was paid by a
county warrant Later Mr..
Braaten, one of the heavy taxpay-
. ers of near Lignite. brought suit
to stop payment on the warrant for
the reason that the commissioners
had not advertised for bids for the
work as is required by law on con-
tracts where the amount is likely
to be over 500. The case was
tried in district court almost two
years ago and at that time was de-
cided against the treasurer and
commissioners. IAe SdoC was ap
pealed and the higher tribunal
held that the county board acted
within it's rights. Following is the
written opinion of the court:

We Have Faith in
This Stomach Remedy

A woman customer said to US the
other day, "Say, you ought to tell
everyone in town about Rexall Dyspep-
STA Tablets. would myself if could. !"
That set us to thinking. So many peo-
ple have used them and have so en-
Enthusiastically sounded their praises both
to us and to their friends, that we had
an idea you all knew about them. But
in the chance that some of you who
suffer from indigestion, heartburn, dys-
pepsia or other stomach complaint,
don't know about them-we are writing
this.
They contain Bismuth and Pepsin,
two of the greatest digestive aids known
to medical science. They sooth and
comfort the stomach, promote the Sc
erection of gastric juice, help to quickly
digest the food and convert it into rich,
red blood, and improve the action of
the bowels. We believe them to be the
best remedy made for indigestion and
dyspepsia. We certainly wouldn't offer
them to you entirely at our risk unless
we felt sure they would do you lot of
good. If Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets do
not relieve your indigestion, check the
heartburn and make it possible for you
to eat what you like whenever you like,
come back and get your money.
Sold only at the more than 1000 Rex
all stores, and in this town only at our

A Real Nerve and
Bodybuilding Medicine

We believe Rexall Olive Oil Emulsion
is the best remedy made for toning the
nerves, enriching the blood. building up
wasted tissues, renewing a ] h,
strength and energy-the best medi-
cine you can use if you are rundown,
tired-out, nervous and debilitated, no
matter what the cause. 1t doesn't de-
pend for it's good effect upon alcohol or
bit-forming drugs, because it con-
tains none. 1t may not make you feel
better in few hours, but it will make
you feel better, we are sure, just as
soon as the tonic and food properties it
contains have chance to get into the
blood and, through the blood, into the
rest of the system. Pure Olive Oil and
the Hypophosphites have long been en-
dorsed by successful physicians, but
here, for the first time, they are COM
bined into one preparation which, as a
nerve-food and builder of strength
and health, we believe, has no equal.
If you don't feel well, begin taking
Rexall Olive Oil Emulsion today and
build up your health and strengthen
your system against more serious ill
ness. To convalescents, old people,
puny children and all others who are
weak, run down or ailing, we offer Rex
all Olive Oil Emulsion with our per
sonal promise that, if it doesn't make
you strong and we'll again, it will cost
you nothing. If we didn't have the
utmost faith in it, we wouldn't offer it
with this guarantee, or even recommend
