great deal from pain in my back and
was always tired and languid / had
little ambition and felt all worn-out.
Doan's Kidney Pills were highly

the distress in my back and acted as a

WOMEN TAKE BIG PART IN
EXPOSITION,

The following is taken from
Wednesdays Bismarck Tribune:
No great achievement can be
carried through and brought to
success without the help of the
women. and the committees in
charge of North Dakota's expo
sitios did not forget this fact,
when they planned the exposi-
ton this year.
The women are well represent
ed, and their influence is pres
ent in the ways which cannot be
seen by he eye. A prominent
Rurleigh county farmer made
the statement yesterday that the
help of the women was essential
in putting I'D the artistic agri-
cultural exhibits.

SAUCE FOR THE GANDER.

They say if mother had vote,
The same as father, why,
She couldn't be a lady, quite,
No matter how she'd try,
Because she'd have, day after day,
To be a-thinking how
She then would run the government
The same as pa does now.
Yet, though my father casts a vote
Once every year to me
He seems as nice and kind and good
AS any man can be.
Yet if the ballot, as hey say,
Would work my mother ill,
Perhaps without it father, too,
Would be lots nicer still.

Would Benefit Healdton Field.

Ringing, Okla, Dec 5.-The con,
struction OF new pipe line from st.
Louis to the Atlantic seaboard by the
recently organized Illinois Pipe Line
Company, with $20,O00,O00 capital, will
eventually benefit the Healdton field
very materially, according to produc-
ers. They say that additional outlets
eastward from other fields will in
crease the demand for Healdton crude
on the Gulf coast, Work on the new

FOG ENWRAPS NEW YORK
INTERFERES WITH TRAFFIC

New York, Dec. 5.-A fleet of fifteen
ocean liners rocked at anchor in a
heavy sea today at the entrance to
New York harbor, fogbound in the
thickest mist that has mantled this
section of the seacoast in fifteen years.
The hosts of commuters who come
daily from New Jersey, Long Island
and nearby New York state points
were delayed from half an hour to an
hour and a-half. Trains crawled slow
ly past almost hidden semaphores. Fer
ryboats plying to New Jersey and
Brooklyn crept through a cloak of
mist so dense that one could not see
boats length ahead. Hardly half the
ferryboats were operated.
The local weather bureau said the
fog extended over a wider area of
country than was ever covered by
single fog before and placed its west
ern boundary at the Mississippi river.
