Ole Den, who owns nearly a thous-
and acre farm six miles southwest of
Minot, has one Of the very best farms
in Ward county. We understand that
he would not care to sell his land for
less than $75 an acre, and we doubt if
he would really let it 60 at that figure
Land near by can be bought for halt
that price, but there is a reason fol
his holding the land at that figure. He
has an immense lot of fine trees, good
buildings, fields of bronze grass, etc
A nice grove on a farm adds several
dollars an acre to the value Of the
farm. Mr.. Farmer, don't overlook this
fact, in case you should ever want stc

Charm of Ginger Beer.

Spies don't always have to sneak
their information: ii is sometimes
presented TO them. Major General
Tulloch, who gave Lord Kitchener his
first start in Egypt, relates IA story
told Lin by German naval attache.
The lords of the admiralty We're TO
visit some forts in the Portsmouth
district, and they thought they would
dispense with the attaches company.
He seemed very slightly distressed,
and said that as matter OF fact he
had gone over the most important
part of the defenses His method
lacked method. Sailing one day near
these works and feeling thirsty, he
had landed and asked the first man he
met where ginger beer could be OBJ
tanned Chance made this man the
canteen contractor for the men erect
ing the fort and he not only sold him
some ginger beer, but conducted his
customer all over the works. He was
an excellent guide with a most inter
ested visitor.-London Cb"snlcle.

DEFENDS POPULAR REMEDIES
Speaker Says Newspapers Should In

fore Barring Advertisements.

That an organized attempt has been
made to bIaCken the reputation Of the
popular family remedies of this coun-
try, and to misleGd the newspaper
publishers into rejecting the adver'
Using Of such medicines, was the
charge made by Carl j. Balliett. OF
Buffalo, n. Y, at the convention Of the
Advertising AfllIation at Detroit.
Mr.. Balliett is a director of the Pro-
prietary Association Of America, which
includes in its membership two hun
dred firms which make the popular
prepared medicines of America.
Mr. Balliett pointed out that 1t Is
the duty of the newspaper publisher
to refuse the advertising OF any fake
o. fraudulent medicine, just as 1t is
his duty 10 refuse any fake or fraudu-
lent advertising, but it is not right to
shut down on all medical advertising
because there have been some takers,
any more than II would be right to
refuse to publish all department store
advertising because certain stores
have made practice of lying about

they laugh again and again over the

cure whether it be at the hands OF a

path, a Christian Scientist or patent

Mr.. Balliett refuted the idea sought
to be spread about that patent medi-
cines are unpopular by showing that
from 1900 TO 1912 the amount of pre-
pared medicines consumed in America
increased from $l00,000,O00 to $l60..

eXterminate so.called patent medt-
cines, the family doctor, Individually
is not fighting them but prescribing
them. lie estimated that 1919 OF the
prescriptions written by doctors today
include proprietary medicines.
The writings OF DR.. Harvey W. WI
ley, he said, have also aimed to de-
stroy confidence In proprietary medi'
cines; but that DR.. Wiley's ideas are
not infallible is shown by cases wher9
his analyses were entirely wrong. Mr..
Balliett mentioned case where. with
all the power OF the Government, he
fought a preparation as being danger
Gus to health. and was ingloTiously
walloped.
There has been spread the idea THAI
a clever faker can mix few useless
ingredients and. by smart advertising,
sell tons OF 1t and win sudden wealth;
whereas. as a matter of fact. the meds-
cine business is notoriously diff
and, where there has been one success
at il, there have been hundred fail
ures. Any medicine which has no
merit cannot live, because persons
who are duped into buying it once will
not buy it again. and the profit from
advertising a medicine can only come
from repeat sales to the same, salts
fed people. Therefore, any medicine
which has been on the market for a
number Of years. and is still adyer'
tised. must have merit behind il TO ac-
count for its success.
In concrlsion Mr.. Balhett declared
that no newspaper is dong justice to
its readers in the matter of medical
or other advertising, unless it lnvesu-
vertisement offered for publication
but the merits of the article aaver.
tised He pointed out that the few
new spapers who have been deiudec
into the policy of barring out medical
advertising have adopted this general
policy, rather than to form an nyes-
tigation bureau of this kind which,
could. in constructive and useful eff
fort, investigate and decide what 10
good product and what is fraud.
In not only the medicine business, bus
in every other business which adyer-
tises its wares to the public.
