since 2 o'clock she had run away to
visit Mrs. Gilbert. her favorite neigh

crimes by detention in the house.
At s her father returned and sat on
the porch reading his evening paper.
To him in few minutes Margaret
sauntered out, her mind intent On car

gested: .nl.

Daddy agreed on condition that 1t

Cross Seals in the paper, but didn't
know just what it was all about. So
it was up to Ellen to explain.
"Oh," said the seven-year-old proud
ly, don't you know? They use the
money to take care of sick folks with
sick folks that haven't got any mon.
ey to take care of 'emselves. The
money they get from the Sanity Claus

folks. And they pay doctors and
nurses to teach people how to get

Then Ellen's mother read the fold
er that small daughter had brought
home telling how often tuberculosis
can be prevented, and when she had
finished she signed the card for a lib

TOBACCO" IS =" SNUFF

w. B. chewing tobasso comes un-
der the provisions Of the North Da-
kota anti-snuff law and it cannot be
legally sold in his state. Pure Food
Commissioner Ladd has issued the
following warning:
Notice is hereby given that this de-
partments holds that the sale, or Of
fering for sale. or, having for sale,
the so-called W. B. Cut chewing to-
bacco, is in violation of the law Of
North Dakota in that the preparation
comes under the provisions of the
statute namely:
Snuff is defined as any tobacco
that has been fermented, or dried, or
Favored, or pulverized, or cut, or
scented, or otherwise treated, or any
substitute therefor, or imitation
thereof, intended to be taken by the
mouth or nose"
That said preparation comes with
in the provisions of the statute and
not within that Of the proviso, name
ly:
Tobacco, as now commonly known
to the trade of this state, shall not
be included in such definition"
The attorney generals Office, when
asked for an Interpretation, stated:
II should say from the analysis that
w. B. Cut chewing is snuff and comes
within the law passed in 1913, and if
any person or persons are selling it, it
seems to me they are selling it con-
trary to law and should be prosecuted
and the matter should be brought to
the attention of the states attorney
of the county" -.
The department, therefore, pur-
suant with the decision from the at
torney generals Office, issues the fore
going notice to all persons interest
ed, and warns the public that the
further sale of said product is held to
be in violation of the provisions Of the
laws of North Dakota.

MCDOWELL IS
BURNHAM'S MOST
FAV0RITE COMPOSER
TO TAKE PLACE WITH SCHUBERT
CHOPIN AND MOZART ON PRO.
GRAM HERE THURSDAY.

The late Edward Mcdowell, said
to rank as Americas greatest COM
poser, is Thuel Burnham's favorite. In
his artists recital in the Normal
school auditorium here Thursday ev-
ening he will play no less than four
Mcdowell numbers. In this respect,
the program will in all probability be
the most american" of any to be CIV
en- here this year.
But no artists piano recital would
be complete without including Chopin,
Mozart, Schubert, List and Schuman,
and these find their places also on Mr..
Burnham's program. And if he played
no other than the Chopin numbers, his
program would still be all that could
be desired, for he has made his repu-
tation as an Interpreter Of Chopin. OF
him London critic has said:

Ts. OF the American pianists, We are
inclined to consider Burnham the best
of any we have heard from the other
side of the Atlantic. Already at this
early age he has completely mastered
the technical side of his are. His
reading of the Beethoven Sonata was
artistic and intellectual, while his
playing of the Erl-Konig was much ad-
mired for its freedom and dramatic
expression. One of the greatest sue
cesses was the A Flat Polonaise of
Chopin, which so pleased the audience
that they recalled the young artist
with much enthusiasm"

Sailor Unintentionally Delivers In
fair Blow in Sixth Round
Of Fight.

London, July 16.---Georges Car
pentier, the young French char pon
was awarded the decision tonight
over "Gunboat" Smith on a foll in
the sixth round of their scheduled
20-round contest.
To Smith and his supporters the
finish was a tragedy, for the blow
for which the American was disqual-
flied was neither studied nor inten-
tional, 1t was launched in the heat
of the whirlwind fighting when the
Frenchman had slipped to his knees
and the spectators saw the sailor re-
coil and attempt to draw back, al.
most as his arm flew ont. Smiths
hight shot forward. He drew back
and plainly would have withdrawn
the blow on second thought. Then
he steppedaback and waited 70 the
FTenchman to rise.
Just what happened to can.
boats right is likely to be an ever
lasting cause of controversy. The

tiers spine at the back of the neck,
some say it just grazed the nec,. ana
Others say it missed it entirely.
Popular judgment awarded Car
pentier the fight on its merits Fitted
against such powerful altaP 3nist
as Smith it was evident that the
frenchman's speed had not beel eX-
aggerated He showed a left lead
like flash of lightning and a pow
