OLD-TIME COLD CURE
DRINK HOT TEA!

Get a small package of Hamburg
Breast Tea, or as the German folks
call it, Hamburger Brust Thee" at any
pharmacy. Take a tablespoonful of the
tea, put a cup of boiling water upon
it, pour through sieve and drink a
teacup full at any time during the
day or before retiring. 1t is the most
effective way to break cold and cure
grip, as it opens the pores of the skin,
relieving congestion. Also loosens the
bowels, thus breaking up cold.
Try it the next time you suffer from
q cold or the grip. It is inexpensive
and entirely vegetable, therefore safe
and harmless.

TWO Big
CASES ON
BOARDS
Jury Term of Federal Court
Opens Tomorrow-Mor-
ris to Preside
IMPROVEMENT AFFAIRS UP
Will Be Aired in Prosecu-
ton of Former Officials
of the Company
IMPROVEMENT AFFAIRS UP

A jury term Of the U. s. district
court will be opened in Fargo tomor-
row, two Of the most important cases
that have been In the court for some
time heading the calendar. These are
the cases known as the North Dakota
Improvement case and the Kittel cases
from Casselton. .,z....
The North Dakota Improvement
Co.'s case will be the first one called
for trial and the selection Of jury
for this hearing will be started to-
morrow. This case is the outgrowth of
the failure of the North Dakota I'm
provement Co., which went into the
hands of a receiver and was later
reorganized as the Western Realty
Co. The North Dakota Improvement
Co. owned a large amount of proper
ties in Fargo, Valley City, Grand
Forks and Devils Lake.
AS a result of the failure of the
company action was brought against
M. A. Baldwin, e. A. Wilson and w.
III. Farmer as officers Of the company,
in which they were charged with
fraudulent methods in the conduct Of
the business and Of having conducted
a portion of this business through the
mails.
The second case scheduled for trial
before the federal jury here is the
case against r. C. and F. w. Kittel,
formerly president and cashier of the
First National bank Of Casselton, both
of whom are charged with the mis-
appropriation Of funds, embezzlement
and false report as officers of the
bank. ,-
This case has been the outgrowth Of
the closing Of the doors Of the Cas-
selton bank for q short time. This
bank failed to open on the morning of
December 6, 1915 as a result Of an in
vestigation of its condition and on the
afternoon Of the same day the Messrs.
Kittei were arrested and brought be-
fore u. S. S.acommissioner In this city
They gave bonds and were indicted
before q grand Jury called shortly
afterwa.rd to consider this and other
cases then demanding attention.
It is expected that these two cases
will occupy considerable time in the
court as in both there will be vast
amount Of evidence to present to the
jury There are other criminal cases tc
be brought up at the term and some
civil actions are also on the calendar
M. A. Hildreth, u. s. district at
torney, and his assistant, Judge John
Carmody, have been very busy for
many weeks getting ready for this
term Of the court. Today their office
is a very busy place arranging the
final details before beginning the
prosecution Of the several cases sched-
uled for trial. ~--~ ..
