BOWEL COMPLAINTS IN INDIA.

In a lecture atone Of the DesMoines
Iowa, churches a missionary from In.
dia told of going into the interior of
India, where he was taken sick, that
he had a bottle Of Chamberlain's Collie
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy with
him and believed that II saved his
life. This remedy is used successfully
in India both as a preventive and cure
for cholera. You may know from this
that it can be. depended upon for the
milder forms of bowel complaint that
occur in this country. Obtainable
everywhere. ADV. 52-3

North Dakota new constitution at
the earliest possible moment that the
program of the nonpartisan league
may be carried out without delay. In
order for the state to engage in the
business of operating state-owned
-four mills, packing plants, etc., it will
be necessary to adopt new constitu-
ton. If the present legislature does,
not act as a constitutional convention,
it will be two years or longer before
the program can be carried out. The
house is favorable to the arrangement
but it is said that the senate is twen-
ty-eight to twenty-one against it. If
the petitions do not have the desired
effect, it is said that thousands of
farmers from all over North Dakota
will visit Bismarck in one of the great
est demonstrations the state will have
ever seen. Senator Mostad from Mi
not is favorable to the program but it
is said that Senator Englund Of Ken
mare is opposed to it on the grounds
that matter of such importance
should be adopted only after more ma
ture thought. Enemies to the plan
claim that the tax limit Of the state
will be raised to an enormous rate and
say that the state is apt to be bonded
for vast sums. The farmers are GER

NORTH DAKOTA A WILD?
pACK ITD1

We sometimes wonder why people
of eastern states are so easily deceiv-
ed into believing North Dakota to be
among the wilds, uncivilized and pop
ulated by frontiersmen, savages and
outlaws. The days of the pioneering
with it's hardships have passed in our
state and the metropolitan appearance
of our cities is unsurpassed in any
state of the Union. The entire coun-
try is dotted with school houses I'M
der the instruction of competent
teachers, the majority of them univer-
sity and normal school graduates. Our
state university and our normal
schools are second to none, while
many UNCONVENTIONAL institutions OF
learning are to be found in our vari-
Gus cities.
The farmers of the state make their
trips to buy groceries in six-cylinder
touring cars; their homes, barns and
granaries are lighted by electricity;
their residences are heated by the lat
est approved heating plants and hot
and cold water systems make them
palatial in their accommodations.

make fine living for any family. Five
or ten acres is enough to keep a man
very busy growing garden truck, and
our fertile North Dakota soil produces
the very finest garden Sass" in the
world. A walk through any well titled
North Dakota garden with it's rows OF
immense solid heads Of cabbage, to-
matoes, beets, carrots, onions, rad
ishes, beans, and anything else that
can be named in the line of vegetables,
will convince anyone that there is no
more favorable section in the United
States for growing anything of this
nature Potatoes are receiving the
attention of great many of our farm
ers who are producing them on a large
scale. Potatoes frequently are grown
at the rate Of four or five hundred
bushels to the acre and remember "a
potato is worth more than an apple"
Gardeners near Minot frequently sell
two or three hundred dollars worth Of
cabbage from an acre and do fully as
well with onions or beans. Our whole
sale houses afford excellent markets
for all kinds of garden truck and then
scores of gardeners bring loads of
fresh vegetables to Minot daily in the
summer time and leave with empty
wagon but pockets full of money. An
acre of sweet corn will produce more
than enough roasting ears in a season
to pay for the land that produces it..
Don't overlook North Dakota as gar
dening state.

The senate has returned to Governor
Frazier the names of the five new ap-
pointees on the board Of regents on
the grounds that the terms of but two
members of the board have expired.
The governor apparently interprets
the law differently and has returned
to the senate the same names. The
senate will not ratify the appoint
ments, it is said. The old board has
engaged counsel and the matter will
be threshed out in the supreme court

and if that is the case, the new board
will be installed within short time.
This is one of the most important
boards. 1t has supervision over all
of the state normal schools, the uni
versity, agricultural college, school of
forestry, school Of sciences, etc. The
board has the hiring of the presidents
of the various institutions and the fac
ulty. If the new board is eventually in
stalled, it is believed that there will be
no change in the Minot Normal school
inasmuch as the president and faculty
have earned the confidence and very
highest esteem of every citizen living
within the vast district served.

THE SUNSHINE STATE

North Dakota by many is called
"The Sunshine State because on the
average throughout the year we have
more hours of sunshine than any of
the states further south. For in
stance, at Minot, N. D., you will find
more hours of sunshine during the
year than at St. Louis, Mo. During
the summer we have the long days
when the sun rises at four a. m. and
sets at nine and in the twilight one
often sits out on his porch and reads
until ten.

The Secretary Of the Treasury,
William G. McAdoo, issued a state
ment that the German-owned mer-
chant ships which have been in
termed in our harbors since the be-
ginning of the war had been seized
"for the purpose Of protecting the
vessels from further injury, and
until decision can be reached as to
their proper disposition" It is taken
for granted by many Cabinet MEM
bers that these ships will be put into
condition for use as rapidly as pos
sible, and that those which are not
destroyed by submarines during the
war may be paid for after the war.
The Attorney General announced
that orders had been sent to United
States marshals all over the coun-
try to arrest and hold without bail
between sixty and sixty-fve Ger
mans, suspected Of being spies. Some
Of these men are already under In
dictment and out on bail. Others
have not yet been arrested.
Instructions prepared several days
ago were sent to the Treasury De-
partment TO cease transmitting de-
tails of the armament and armed
guards on merchantmen entering
American harbors on the ground
that henceforth no restrictions will
be placed on such vessels.
1t was announced that the govern
ment will close all wireless stations
except those required for its own Of

Washington, April s. Methods OF

Indications are that the first years
demands upon the financial resources OF
the country will run far in excess OF

were discussed. These total S474.

tary McAdoo as to the details OF one

hours.
Financial and other cooperation with
Entente governments is one of the
chief topics under consideration by the
Council Of National Defence and plans

Of the first loan vary between $5OOOOO,-

Allies TO Send Agents Here
An Official deputation from Great
Britain, probably one from France and
possibly others from other Allied gov
ernmentS, will visit the United States
shortly to assist in formulating def

most pressing needs Of the Allies and
al the same time imposing as llgnt q

House Ways and Means Committee, and

II is estimated that the war budget
the first year may require the enor-
nous sum of $4,000, 100000. For the
purpose of raising funds plans are
under consideration which would re-
quire private incomes down to 81 900
a year to be taxed. That would
reach wages.
The Senate voted a unanimous
