These pleasant little tablets do the
good that calomel does, but have no bad
after effects. They don't iniure the

They take hold of the trouble and
quickly correct it. Why cure the liver
at the expense of the teeth? Calomel
sometimes plays havoc with the gums.
So do strong liquids. II is best not t.

when the kidneys are deranged tn,
blood is filed with poisonous uric

. It is just as necessary to keep the
kidneys acting properly as to keep the

The very best possible way to take

OFFICERS WANTED
FOR REGULAR ARMY

J. w. Jackson has been notified
that the Fort Smelling Training camp
will open May 8 and that Williston
men who desire training for reserve
officers should apply at once.
Mr.. Jackson has the blanks now
and will be glad to supply them to
any one interested.
The course will last three months.
At each camp it is planned to train
officers for full division and one ad-
ditional cavalry regiment. The maxi
mum number of attendants at each
camp will be $500. The students will
be required to take an enlistment oath
for the three months course only, but
NUT agree to accept such appoint
ment in the officers reserve corps as
may be rendered them by the secre-
tary Of war.
The oath imposes no obligation to
serve beyond the three months period
except as a commissioned officer of
the officers reserve corps. Pay or Of
fcers depends upon future action of
congress.

HOMES FOR BIRDS

A great deal of commentator was
given the boys who entered the bird
house contest recently, on the splen-
did workmanship used in the con-
struction of the various houses. The
boys really showed skill and the task
was not an easy one when the judges
came to award the prizes. However
after much deliberation the prizes
were awarded the following contes-
tants:
1st prize of $4.OO to Charles Merk-
lien.
End prize of $500 to George Shi-
kany.
3rd prize of $500 to George Wanka.
4th prize of $1.00 to Harold Bar
ker.
Honorable mention was given the
sparrow trap made by Joe Thank.
The houses are on display at Hutchin-
sons store.
This idea of bird conservation is a
most excellent one for it not only
gives joy to the individual, but en-
hances the value of our homes, our
city and our state. 1t is to be hoped
then that the work just begun will
bring wonderful results for even the
little birds appreciate our every ef-
fort as they greet us with their little
songs of cheer.

W|LL|ST0N LAUNDRY
MAKES BIG PROGRESS
F. E. BECKER HAS CHANGED IT
FROM HAND BUSINESS TO
WIDELY KNOWN CONCERN

One of the biggest little institutions
Williston holds today is the Willis
ton steam laundry which, to use their
own slogan, "washes for Western
North Dakota and Eastern Montana" ."
In the three years in which he has
had the business F. E. Becker has
turned it from a hand laundry to a
modern machine institution with a
pay roll that is equalled by few of
the mercantile institutions of the city.
Recently there has been installed
several new machines and in the past
year almost $4,000 has been put into
machinery for the place. One more
machine which is coming soon, which
is drying machine for fine work
will make the place absolutely the
best equipped in this section of the
state. Rough dry machines which
were unknown here Wien Mr.. Becker
took the place now turn out thous-
ands of pounds Of work each week
and nearly every hotel and restaur-
ant within reach have the Williston
Laundry do their work.
The Williston laundry is just an
other instance of the Preaching out"
of Williston business and it is good
thing for live city to have institu-
tions of this sort always willing to
20 ahead and thus make its city big
ger and better.

Using the impressive services pre-
scribed by the Episcopal church
Bishop J. Poyntz Tyler of Fargo ad-
ministered the sacrament of con-
firmation at the Williston Episcopal
church Sunday evening.
The services were the more beau
tiful because of the simplicity and
the excellent music rendered by the
choir made the program of the even
ing memorable one for the congre-
CATION Robert J. Murphy who ex-
poets to enter Seabury Divinity
school this fall, and Miss Zorah
Kousah received the sacrament.
Following the confirmation cere-
mony Bishop Tyler spoke few words
of exhortation to the two young peo-
pie who were admitted into full men,
bership in the church. He empha-
sized the Importance of the sacra-
ment along religious lines and also
brought out the fact that it must
strengthen their entire lives-in NOR
ality, and with especial reference to
a steadfast patriotism.
Following this ceremony in which
the Bishop was assisted by the pas
tor Rev. N. E. Ellsworth, the bishop
preached short sermon his theme
being the spirit Of the Easter time
"This is the greatest Easter time
that the world has ever known" he
