British imports OF shoes from Swltzer-

ILOiLU III NV
BADGER DOG LAW

The last legislature passed law
making it misdemeanor for man to
own dog which is caught worrying
sheep or any domestic animals, punish
able by fine or imprisonment. The
first case under this law was tried Fri
day in the justice court Of H. L. Hal
sted when Gilbert Horton, who lives
two miles east of the city on the Prai-
RE road, swore out a warrant for John
Alexander whose farm joins his, charg-
ing Mr.. Alexander with being the own
or of a dog which Horton alleged
chased his sheep. The case was tried
By jury consisting of VIM. Mann, M.
Hoover, Samuel Welch, Frank Parrish,
and Thomas Moran, who found the de-
PENDANT not guilty. The case was tried
by D. Ruggles, attorney for the COM
plaintant, and F. R. Bentley attorney
for the defendant. One unusual fea-
ture Of the case was that Mr.. Bentley
stated to the jury that he was legal ad-
visor to Governor Philip when the bill
was passed by the legislature and that
he had filed written opinion that the
bill was unconstitutional and he argued
that matter TO the jury.

GRIP And NEURASTHENIA

There is form of neurasthenia that
follows the grip. Doctors call it post
grippal'' neurasthenia. One OF the
foremost medical authorities of New
York city in lecture in the interna-
tional clinics, said:
Broadly speaking, every victim OF
the grip will suffer from post-grlppal
neurasthenia also. Lowering of ner-
vous tone with increased irritability is
the most striking effect of the disease,
languor of mind and body, disturbed
fitf1l sleep and vague pains in the head
and elsewhere. The treatment calls
for rest and a tonic.
DIR. Williams Pink Pills, a non-alco-
holic tonic, are particularly suited for
building up the blood and strengthen
ing the nerves after an attack OF the
grip. The rich, red blood expels the
lingering germs from the system and
transforms respondent grip victims in
to cheerful, healthy, happy men and
women.
If you have had the grip get a box
Of DR.. Williams Pink Pills now from
the nearest drug store and begin the
treatment at once.
On request we will send you a free
pamphlet, Building Up the; Blood"
which contains chapter on the grip.

Mrs. J. P. Tester passed to the
Great Beyond at the home of her
daughter Sunday noon after five
months illness. Mrs. Tester was
born in Switzerland 70 years ago.
She leaves five children and several
grandchildren to mourn the loss of
a kind Christian mother. They are
John of Medora, Felix of Chelan,
Wash, Willie of Douglas, Arizona,
Christ of Brookston, MIMI, and Mrs.
Kruger, with whom she made her
home since the death of her husband
five years ago. We have been unable
to get particulars about the funeral.
The remains will likely be taken to
Cameron, Wis, and placed beside
those of her husband. She asked that
this be done, shortly before she died.
Sleep on, beloved mother take thy rest,
Forver on thy gentle Savior's breast.
W. loved thee well, but Jesus loveo
thee best.
