The Minot league team, better
known as the "Why-Nots," will play
the league team from Warren, Mimi,
in this city on May 26, 27, % and 30.
Each game will be played at $3.50 o.
clock in the evening except the Sum
day game, which will be played at
2:30 p. m.
The Town Criers club of Minot has
prepared splendid camping grounds in
the shady woods adjoining Riverside
Park, where visitors can pitch their
tents if they desire to come to the city
for an outing during these games. 1t
is believed that hundreds of autoists
during the summer will take advan-
tage of this place, where there is plen-
ty of good water and many good
camping sites.

Mothers Doll Story
The Daisy Doll

Once upon time little bit of girl
had measles. Her name was Fanny,
and measles meant that she had to
stay in bed lot Of days, be read aloud
to and swallow all kinds of milk.
It also meant that Fanny got lots of
nice picture books, a new wax doll,
two sets Of teacups and a new dress.
Don't you wish every little sick girl
got as many presents?
One day in came Fanny's brother
with handful of daisies. Fanny was
almost well by this time, and her
brother had had measles. So he was
allowed to put his hand In the door
and throw the daisies right on to
Fanny's bed.
"Oh, look, mammal cried Fanny.
and she picked up all the daisies. It
was almost as much fun as picking
them in meadow.
Then Fanny's mamma did a clever
thing.
"How would you like a daisy doll,
Fanny?" she asked.
She then took pair of blunt scis-
sors and clipped the daisy petals, all
but two. These were left for cap
strings, and the cut petals made the
frill Of the cap. Then, with pen and
ink she made cute little face, right
on the middle Of the yellow center.
And soon Fanny had whole handful
of daisy dolls. If you don't believe it
try daisy and see for yourself.

10 GENT "CASCARETS"
FOR LIVER AND BOWELS
Cure Sick Headache, Constipation,
BilIousness, Sour Stomach, Bad
Breath-Candy Cathartlc.

No odds how bad your liver, stom-
ach or bowels: how much your head
aches, how miserable you are from
constipation. Indigestion. biliousness
and sluggish bowels-you always get
relief with Cascarets. They imme-
diately cleanse and regulate the stom-
ach, remove the sour, fermenting food
and foul gases; take the excess bile
from the liver and carry off the con-
stipated waste matter and poison
from the intestines and bowels. A
10-cent box from your druggist viii
keep your liver and bowels clean:
stomach sweet and head clear for
months. They work while you sleep.

1916 1t is said that General Nivelle.
whom he succeeds, is thoroughly salts
fed with the new conditions
Henri Philippe Petain is sixty-one
years old and is said to look fifty. Like
many another general in the present
war, he is a discovery of Marshal Jof
fire.. At the beginning of the war he
was a retired colonel, noted for his
virile character and his technical
knowledge. Joffre made him briga-
der general. With that rank he took
part in the terrible retreat from Char
leroi in the early weeks of the war.
He then passed rapidly through the
grades of divisional general, army
corps commander and finally army
commander.

At Sea on Land.

A clergyman who had neglected all
knowledge of nautical affairs was ask
ed to deliver an address before an
audience Of sailors. He was discours-
ing "on the stormy passages Of life.
Thinking he could make his remarks
more pertinent to his hearers by meta
phorically using sea expressions. he
said:
"Now, friends, you know that when
you are at sea in storm the thing
you do is anchor"
A half concealed smoker spread over
the room, and the clergyman knew that
be had made q mistake.
After the services one of his listeners
came to him and said, "Mr. -, have
you ever been at sea-"
The minister replied:
"No, unless it was while I was de-
livering that address,"
