That women can wear low heel
shoes, retain their health, and yet

is Dame Fashions latest order. Some
women are yet a little slow to be-

a BILL was passed in the lower house
In Springfield, which if it shall be
sustained, will compel women to weas

AS to who should have credit for
this change of footwear, the wo-

that it is not likely that the shoe

Bulletin on Popular Malady

The State Board of Health has pre-
pared and had published for free
distribution bulletin on "Indiges-
tion-Its Cause, Prevention and
Treatment. In telling what indi-

says: "The tragedy with so many
people is that after few years Of
over-eating Or irregular eating, in
temperance, overwork, worry, decay
ed teeth, and other conditions, ma
ture begins to fail to perform it's
natural functions. The patient has
pain in the abdomen, sometimes be-
fore eating, sometimes after, some
times s/all the time" This is indi
gestion.
The plan Of treatment the bulletin
suggests is first to locate the cause.
This should be done by having
thorough examination by a capable
and careful physician. Some of the
things a careful physician will do"
says the bulletin, will be-

FOOD VERSUS MEDICINE

OF the hundred millions of people
in the United States probably
more than 100000 are habitu-
ally constipated and slaves to physics.
Why?
Constipation is peculiarly an ailment
of civilized races. Neither the lower
animals living in the wild state nor
the uncivilized races suffer from con
stipatiOn.
The cause, of course, is not just one
thing in all cases, but by far the great
est number of cases Of constipation
are due to faulty diet.

MAY LEVY S60,p0O FOR
WARD COUNTY ROADS
Commissioners VIII Have to Levy
Limit Of Five Mills to Take Care of
Road Construction Asked For.

A year ago, the Ward county COM
missioners levied $4,000 for road
building purposes. The money is be-
ing expended very judiciously and per-
manent roads are being built where
needed the most. The county has
eleven grading outfits at work at the
present time, including four big grad
ers and seven smaller outfits, working
in every section Of the county.
The commissioners are giving much
of their time to the personal supervis-
ion OF the work and are getting 100
cents worth of work done on every
dollar expended
The commissioners will make their
1918 levy at their July meeting. II
they levy the limit for road purposes,
five mills, they can spend about $780,
900 on Ward county roads next year.
1t is probable that they will do this
and if they keep up their good work,
which they will undoubtedly do, no
one will have reason to make COM

& Co., commission merchants, has an
nounced that the $4 a bushel potato
will be selling for it's former humble
price and may go as low as 10 cents
a bushel when the crop is harvested

for his opinion.
Every one planted potatoes and
there is every indication that the har-

supply. Two years ago when the mar

carload lots for seven cents. ,a f..
The allied countries have made a
special effort to raise large crops and
there is every reason to believe that
the returns will fulfill the hope of a
bumper crop. There have been mil

others wounded. The wounded will not
care to eat as much as well person
and the millions killed will not have to

w. H. Parker is Precariously Ill,

The venerable VIM. H. Parker is pre-
cariously i'll at DR.. Geo. Eiteps hospi-
tai in Minneapolis. Mr.. Parker, who
is in his S0th year, has been suffering
from chronic ailment which has be-
come so serious that surgeons say he
cannot possibly live but few weeks
without an operation, and even then
he will have but slight chance for
recovery. He was accompanied to Min
neapolis by his daughter, Mrs. M. T.
Dalquist, and the nurse.
Mr.. Parker is a remarkable man.
Until ten days age he had been work
ing out at his farm northeast of the
city. He has been as active as most
men half his age. He has spent the
greater part of his life out in the open
and has not missed long hunting trips
in years, when despite his advanced
years, he has been able to hold his
own with the best Of the nimrods. Mr.
Parker is one Of Minot's pioneers,
more than a quarter Of century ago
acquiring the Lelnd hotel, which has
been conducted by himself and family
ever. since. Many old friends trust
that he will soon regain his health.

the dance following. The following
day, trip was made to Fryburg, To-
Gated in the edge Of the Bad Lands.
