To PREVENT CONGESTION

Constipation is always accompanied by
Indigestion, either as the cause or as 3
result. In correcting constipation it is
very important to restore the stomach,
intestines and other digestive organs to a
healthful condition.
It is here that Pinklets, the new laxa-
tive, have an exceptional value. One OF
these little pink granules taken after the
principal meal each day will promote d.
gestion and stimulate the appetite. Pink
lets clear away waste material, prevent
congestion and with a little persistence
really correct constipation.
Write today to the DR.. Williams Medi-
cine Co., Schenectady, N. Y, for the
free booklet, Constipation, It's Causes
and Treatment and free sample of
Pinklets, or get full-size 25-cent bottle
from your druggist.

Years ago, Sunday was the day for
visiting. Father, mother and the
youngsters would be up bright and
early, do the chores and the house
work, the Riddles would be scrubbed
within an inch of their lives, and off
they would drive to church behind
Doll and Nell. After church, as a
matter of course, they'd accompany
some other family home from church
to spend the day. The women folks
would roll up their sleeves and pre-
pare one of those sumptuous country
dinners that the city folks used to
read about, while the men would sit
about and swap yarns and inspect the
crops and stock. These conditions
have been somewhat changed. The
city cousins now own automobiles and
they usually make tracks for the
country before the country folks can
get away. The city lady sits around
in her late styled dress while the poor
tired country woman prepares the
meal. These automobiles have chang
ed conditions. About the only way
for the country folks to get even with
their city cousins is to invest in a
car themselves and turn the tables on
them.

There appears to be no question but
what q sufficient number of names will
he secured to the petitions providing
for the referendum on twelve bills
passed by the legislature. Only 5000
names are required and nearly this
many have already been secured. This
means. of course, that the governor
will call a special session of the legis-
lature and if that is the case, very
likely two or three of the bills in que:ss..
ton may be killed, but the others will
be re-enacted. It seems shame that
we must be put to this additional ex-
pense. One Of the bills in question is
the immigration law, providing for a
100000 appropriation to be expended
in bringing new settlers into the state.
Some farmers are against the bill be-
cause they fear that if land seekers
are brot here, they may be compelled
to give up their homes. which are quite
heavily mortgaged. Should they look
at the question from broader sense
of view, they should realize that the
more people we get into the state, the
more valuable will be their holdings.

A NEW WAR HORROR.

The national Red Cross headquar.
tiers would not sound so terrible q
warning as that which it has just is.
sued if the peril which it points out
were not real. The Red Cross sees
the possibility of such plague in
Europe as the world has never wit
messed before. It's warning is one to
make humanity shudder, to bring pal
lor to the cheek, to create new and
keener realization of the horror Of this
unspeakable nightmare of war.
There is the eloquence of deep ear
nestness in it's description of the men,
ace: "With much of continental Eu-
rope in a highly unsettled state; with
fields and trenches drenched with
blood; with shallow graves of thous-
ands of dead scattered throughout the
war zone; with vermin and filth on
every hand; with hundreds of thous-
ands of wounded being cared for in a
pitifully inadequate way, a vast num-
Der of them having infectious wounds,
and with the approach of warm
weather and attending flies and mos
quitoes, Europe may we'll be gravely
apprehensive-fearfu that an unpre-
cedented plague will sweep the old
world"
That is not mere hysteria--a ghast-
ly phantom which can have no reality.
The Red Cross experts are we'll quail
fed to estimate the peril of which they
speak; and when they say that it is
real and imminent, there can be no
discrediting their judgment. 1t is
gravely doubtful whether even the
most admirably scientific sanitation
methods can hold disease in check
when summer comes to the vast char
mel house into which Europe is being
converted. Serbia is an example of
what may presently be witnessed on a
much larger scale.
Serbia is in the grip of typhus and
of typhoid. Already the deaths from
typhus have reached a total of $4,000
and the disease is spreading rapidly in
spite of the heroic efforts of surgeons
and nurses, many of whom are Ameri-
cans who have volunteered for this
perilous service.

The iourneyman BARRIERS of Minot
are asking that their day be shorten
ed one hour. Several of the shops have
granted the request and it appears to
the independent that all of them
should. The BARRIERS life is hard
enough at best. He begins work at 8
o'clock in the morning, and if bust
ness is good, he works out on his
various patrons all dav long, rushing
home to eat hurried lunch. and then
there's the steady grind until six o.
clock, when he hurries home again, to
be back at his chair again at seven. At
eight the shop closes, but perhaps he
has to work until nine and his evening
is spoiled. On Saturday nights the
shop remains open until eleven and he
seldom gets away until midnight. Sun
day morning he is too tired to 20 to
church and it's noon before he feels
like leaving his virtuous couch. All
they want is to quit work at seven
o'clock and at ten o'clock on Saturday
nights. The public can all be served
nicely during those working hours.
What's the use of their shaving their
lives away?

BEATS MAIL ORDER HOUSE.

Darlington Independents: About the
livest and most result getting adver-
Using now appearing in the 1ndepen-
dent is that from three live lumber
frms-T. N. Putnam at Darlington,
the Powers company at Barlow and
the Salzer company at Bordulac.
These advertisements are splendidly
written, fresh each issue, and are do
ing the business. To find out from a
farmer Saturday, that the lumber
prices and service these firms are CIV
ing are fully worthy of the snappy ad-
vertising they are doing, was real
pleasure and source of qualification to
the Independent man. In a talk with
one of our most substantial and closest
figuring farmers, he stated that he
was about ready to give a house and
barn bill to local dealer. He had
figured with the firms who zip in
black type that the local dealer is a
highway man through the columns Of
farm journals, and had found out that
they could not compete with the local
lumber merchant He found such
things as these, for instance:
The mail order lumber house sent
four inch cheap lumber to be put four
inches apart for the barn roof, where
as the local dealer figured good ship
lap laid tight together; the mail order
people gave him only one studding
around door, the local dealer rein
forced it with another 2x4. And so on
throughout the building. The mail or
der bill was figured skinny through
out, the local dealer gave first class
stock and plenty of it-and then put
in the best price as matter of good
measure.

When Henry ]. Linde of Stanley
was elected attorney general of North
Dakota, those who opposed his cleo
ton declared that they believed if
elected, he would play in with the
liquor element. It appears that they
did not know what they were talking
about. Mr.. Linde started an action
against the Northern Pacific last week
which may prevent that road from
accepting shipments of Intoxicating
liquor into the state of North Dakota.
A to~~~orary injunction was issued in
Faro Saturday out of Judge Pollock's
court. The attorney general and his
assistant, Francis J. Murphy, appear
ed before Judge Pollock, under provis-
ions of the Webb law. The Northern
Pacific is continuing to receive ship
ments and the matter will be carried
to the Supreme court Of the United
States before it is definitely settled.
If successful, other roads will be re-
strained. The Webb law withdraws
the protection heretofore afforded by
the laws of the United States to Ger
tain specific articles of commerce and
permits the state laws to become op-
erative in all respects as to those artl-
cles.

What has become of the cid fashion

out to the straw stack each spring and

Prof. Bolley is urging the farmers
to SOW flax early so that it will be in
blossom and in boil before the hot dry
weather of midsummer. May, ne
says, sow the seed between May 10
and May 20, after other seed is in the
ground. This may be all right some
years, providing the flax gets a good
start, but in his opinion, flax ought to
be sown just as early as the ground
can be prepared. The young plants
are able to stand quite severe weather,
while in the fall, frost will often cut
down the yield great deal. Flax is
receiving considerable attention by the
western farmers, who find the crop a
paying one. Experiments have proved
that it can even be sown on corn
ground with almost as good results as
when seeded on the virgin soil.

The Supreme Court of the United
States refused to release him on writ
of habeas corpus, deciding that Frank
has received due consideration from
the courts Of Georgia. Two of the
Justices, Holmes and Hughes, dissent

United States is that negro and not
Frank is guilty of the crime, and
that it would be grave miscarriage

each year and we are striving hard
to make the Independent little better
with each succeeding year. We know
that we must either progress or go
backward and we are determined to
keep apace with our developing city
and state. Looking back over the
years since the Independent came into
existence, we see where we have made
some mistakes, but we have tried to
profit by them. We realize, however,
that we have been headed in the right
direction during all of these years and
there is satisfaction in that. 1t has
ever been the policy of the Indepen-
dent to build up-never tear down.
and we hope that we may be given
some of the credit for the upbuilding
of this section of the best state in the
Union. We have explicit faith in the
future of Minot. We have seen this
city grow from a village of thous-
and souls to fine city of more than
10000 population. We have seen her
develop from a very mediocre town
to the third largest city in North Da-
kota. We like the spirit of her bust
nessmen, who deserve to succeed. We
have watched businessmen and farm
ers prosper alike and we have taken
pleasure in prospering to degree
along with you. We thank one and all
for the support you have given the
Independent and we only hope that we
deserve a continuance of your patron
age.
