RELIABLE REMEDY
RESTORES KIDNEYS

For many years druggists have watched
with much interest the remarkable record
maintained by DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root,
the great kidney, liver and bladder rem
edy.
1t is a physicians prescription.
Swamp-Root is strengthening medi-
cine. DR.. Kilmer used it for years in his
private practice. 1t helps the kidneys,
liver and bladder do the work nature in
tended they should do.
SwampRoot has stood the test of years.
1t is sold by all druggists on its merit and
it will help you. No other remedy can
successfully take its place.
Be sure to get SwampsR0Jt and start
treatment at once.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..
Kilmer 4 Co.. Binghamton, N. Y, for
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper.-Adv.

The waist sets nicely and is bloused
over the top of the skirt very little.
Hemstitching serves to join the two
colors in crepe, together.
The blouse possesses two style fea-
lures that are new ard especially in
teresting. The neck IS round and fin
ished with narrow band of white
crepe. The collar, of blue crepe, Is
cut circular and in two pieces, making
II narrow crescent-shaped cape at the
back and front. 1t fastens on the left
shoulder and is edged with very fine
point venice lace.
The deep cuffs of blue are smart
and very practical, as they do not
soil as easily as white. Fragile and
dainty as crepe looks, 1t is In reality
durable material If given the care
it deserves. The light colors wash
well and may be retinted when they
begin to fade.

One of those new blouses in which
georgette crepe in two colors Is COM
bined has several points of interest
for the seeker after new things in
waists. The two-color idea was sue
cessfully introduced in the spring and
has the Endorsement of women OF fash
ion. 1t gives designers n chance to eX-
ercise a great amount of cleverness in
embodylng both colors in the body of
the garment, and in carrying out the
color scheme In embroideries, buttons
and ornaments.
The blouse shown Is of white and
navy blue georgette crepe. A band
of the navy blue crepe is set i'm about
the arm'seye and it is used to make
the wide cuffs and the collar.
Small pendant silk-covered buttons
are placed down each side Of the front,
and they are sewed to plait near the
arm'seye. They are in navy blue silk,
suspended by small white silk cord.

CLUB SHOULD BE SATISFIED
Organization That Persistently Fought
for Shorter Skirts Might as
Wei. Disband.

Twenty years ago an organization
TO influence women to wear shorter
skirts. The organization was known
rs the Rainy Day club, and branches
Of ii We're formed throughout the cOun-
try. Mrs. A. M. Palmer, who has
been president Of the organization
since its birth, has just announced that
the fight has been won with VEN
geance, and that the organization may
us well disband, unless 1t should de-
side to reverse its bylaws and begin
crusade for longer garments.
When the Rainy Day club was or
ganized, the style for women was to
wear long trailing skirts that did a
portion of the work now paid for by
the STRENGTHENING department. Cru
saders for short skirts produced vol.
umes of testimony from physicians
that the long, dragging, heavy skirts
were wrecking the health of women,
carrying disease germs and causing
many kinds of grief. The rainy dais-
les, as they were then called. pleaded
for skirts at least four inches from
the ground. The fight was stubborn.
For some time Fashion would not yield
an inch. Then the bicycle fad came
along and helped Il little. Finally the
shortening process gained Roadway,
and even CASUAL glance skirtward

Hard Ideal.

"The new ideal of patriotitsm-pa-
triotism and preparedness-is hard
ideal to reach up to-"
The speaker was Representative
Gardner of Massachusetts. He con-
tinued:
"Yes, before this splendid ideal the
soft and selfish citizen is like the farm
boarder.
81 guess the farmer said to his
new boarder from the city, Il guess We
won't want to get up very early in
the morning, hey?"
No. by heck! said the city chap
with laugh; 1 think I'd prefer to
sleep late

There are many pretty frocks on dis
play for members of the primary class
in the school of social wisdom, and
they are calculated to develop her
taste. by the time she arrives at the
"flapper" stage, with mind Of her
own as to clothes, she will know some
thing about party frocks, anyway.
There are many dresses for the little
miss, made Of plain and changeable
taffeta In light coiors. And there are
others of crepe of chiffon much beruf-
fed. Some of them are short-waisted
some of them are long-waisted, and
others have no waist at all. All OF
thcm barely reach to the knees and
their sleeves are as brief as their
skirts. Necks are round or square,
and little sleeveless body in several
good designs is worn over dainty
underbody with sleeves, made of tulle
or lace, I'm narrow rufiles, set close to-
gether on a net foundation.
A new idea is successfully carried
out when taffeta is the material used.
Short-wasted dresses, or slips without
waistline, are trimmed with several
rows of narrow ruflles of the silk
about the bottom Of the skirt and on
the sleeves. These rufIles are sewed
to the frock along their lower edge
that is, they are upside down.
Other styles may come and go, but

Real Hospital Assured
To Wllhston Territory
Great Campaign Closed Last Night - $4,000.
Mark Passed by Actual Cash and Pledges s-
Surrounding Territory Supported the Cause
Literally $780, 900 From the City.

It is plumb up to the top-the red
streak on the big white thermometer.
When the campaign closed at Mid
night Wednesday night, the $4,000
goal nd been reached and passed. At
suppertime when the reports of the
day were made ut Library hall the
figures stood at between $38, 900 and
$S9, 900. The managers Of the CAM
paign agreed that it would never do
to let the hour set for closing the
campaign arrive without the full OBJ
ject achieved.
A parade headed by the band and
including many Of the active workers
riding in cars and marching in col.
umns, and an emblematic hospital
hoat, marched through the principal
streets, while solicitors made final
effort to raise the amount necessary.
Returning to the library, the team
captains and workers again reckoned
results and struck . total which
proved to be little over 500 short
of the 100000. This was Immediate
ly made up by additinal subscriptions
from the workers themselves.
A few workers who are out on
branch lines failed to reach home in
time to report last night and it is
probable that their efforts have not
been fruitless. Also available forthe
hospital fund is about $400 that was
deposited in local bank at the time
the first effort was made TO raise q
fund for a hospital. A fraternity day
was held and the fraternal bodies and
the secret societies united in a tag
sale that made up the above sum.
The property Of the Wittenberg
hospital association will also be con-
verted to the purpose of erecting the
new building. This will amount to
several thousand dollars, SO that al
together the total funds that will be
available at the time the new hospital
is completed will approximate $5OOC0.
Feat Accomplished by Organization
The splendid result of the hospital
campaign is attributed by the cam
paign managers to organization and
cooperation. These were absolutely
necessary in addition to the magnifi-
cent liberality of the people # viii
liston and the territory surrounding.
The workers say that too much can
not be said in praise of the generous
raising Of such sum in such short
cine III community WlCH 1ne pOpu-
lation of this, was possible only thru
practically everyone's doing his part.
With few exceptions the surround
ing country and towns helped the
fund literally. In round numbers
10000 was raised in the city Of Will
liston. The other $4,000 was sub
scribed by the nearby towns and
country.
Great credit for the thorough or
ganization and faithful work Of the
campaign is due to Reverend Johan-
son, Mr.. and Mrs. Currier, the team
captains and the army of individual
workers.

Orange and Black
Clans Gathered

The evening of November II will
long be remembered by the 1916 high
school football squad and it's friends.
As guests of Mr.. and Mrs. Joe
Cutting, amid surroundings that
breathed football tradition and foot
ball inspiration, the defenders of the
Orange and Black enjoyed feast Of
things good for both the body and
the mind The close of the local foot
ball season has frequently been mark
ed by banquet given by the school
for the coach but this year the coach
got the jump on the boys and beat
them to it. It has been remarked that
it is hard to get ahead of one of those
old time Minnesota U men.
The hostess, assisted by Mrs. L. O.
Yonker, had filled the pretty home
with appropriate decorations, using
orange and black as the color scheme.
A pair of goals adorned each table
and real football (the kind the Will
liston high boys play) rested in the
center of the field of action-and the
last word is selected advisedly. Nina
ture footballs were found at each
plate and made neat souvenirs of the
occasion. When opened the tiny
"pigskins" revealed slips with foot
ball questions and conumdrums to be
ask of some other guest who came
back in kind, thus making an ex-
change of punts that was interesting
and brain tickling.
After the delicious four course tur-
key dinner Toast Master Vettle gave
the signals that brought number of
the guests to their feet to talk on any
topic they might choose.
After the repast the company spent
most enjoyable season in athletic
discourse and in discussion Of "Joe's"
fine collection of football books, pic
lures and clippings. Those so for
tunate as to be present were:

an Executive Committee was elected

1t was decided, after general discus
sion, to follow suggestions coming
from different sections of the state,
and to set this years "Big Week. at
a later date than was named last year.
The week of January 81 to 81 was
named as the next North Dakota APP
probation Week.
BY holding it later, it is believed
that more effective work and publicity
will result as farmers in other sec
tions of the country who might be in
terested in our advertising matter
have more time in January and our
own people will also be able to give
more attention to the work in the be-
ginning of the new year instead of in
November, which is our busiest sea-
son in North Dakota.

Churches and schools in all parts OF
the state will be asked to cooperate

Railreads Accept Battle

"
New York, Nov. 1.-The New
York General railroad has filed In the
federal district court here the first in
junction suit to be brought by an
eastern road to test the constitutions
atty Of the Adamson law, it was an
nounced by Albert H. I. Harriss, gen.
eral counsel for the New York Gen.
tral today.
The action is directed against Uni
ted States States District Attorney
Snowden here, and several local ofi-
GERS of the four trainmen's brother
hoods. A temporary stay will be
sought, which will enjoin the defen-
dants from instituting prosecutions
against the road to compel it carry
out the law.
5000 Suits Are Likely
Railway managers comprising the
national conference committee con-
tinued today the consideration of
whether wholesale legal action to de-
feat the Adamson eight-hour law will
be taken or whether a limited series
of injunctions will be filed. The con-
census of opinion favored the former
course, which would result in approx
imately 5000 actions, covering the
entire railroad territory Of the Uni
ted States. Whichever method is Sc
lected, the cases are expected to be
in the courts within a few days.
The Railroads Stand
Williston graphic. (Williston, Williams County, N.D.) 1895-1919, 1916-11-16

The attitude Of the railways was
summarized in a statement issued by
Elisha Lee at the close Of an all-day
meeting of the railroad representa-
tives. The statement follows:
eve are all agreed to fight to the
end. The means to be employed were
opinion was that it was necessary to
file suits questioning the constitution
atty of the law in every federal dis
trict court in which the affected rail
roads operate"
Leave it Up to Wilson
4 Warren S. Stone, president Of the
Brotherhood Of Locomotive Engi-
neers, summarized the brotherhood's
side of the case just before boarding
a train for Cleveland. a'
y Mr.. Stone said: s
"The situation is closed in 50 far ~
we are concerned. We are not at all
alarmed. We know what President
Wilson intended we should have. We
know the explanation he made to our
six hundred chaiEmen in the White
House. We feel confident that II the
present law does not give us the
eight-hour day, the president will
give us law that willx
4 1--WE can't understand the attitude
Of the railroad managers. They did
not file their first suits until the day
after election, believing that Mr..
Hughes had been elected. Personal
'ly, believe they are either whistling
to keep up their courage or they are
trying to scare the public into sympa-
thizing with them"

Great Northern Files Suit

] St. Paul, Minn., Nov. 15-The Great
Northern railroad has asked the fed
eral district court here for an order
to prevent the enforcement of the
Adamson law. The suit is the first
filed by a road in this territory and is
similar to suits filed by the Louisville
and Nashville, the Athcison, Topeka
and Santa Fe and the Union Pacific.
Named as defendants are Alfred
Jacques of Duluth, United States dis
trict attorney; F. A. Mallen, local
chairman of the Order of Railway
Conductors; A. K. Rowe, local chair
man of the Brotherhood of Locomo-
tive Engineers; T. Olson, local chair
man of the Firemen and Enginemen,
and P. A. Porter, local chairman of
Sshe Trainmen.
The enforcement Of the Adamson
law will result in great financial loss
to the railroad, according to the petit
ton.
