Would.

Nearly every one, at one time or

conclusions upon which the doctors
agree is that regularity of the bowels
is an essential to good health.
In the family medicine chest OF
most wellordered households will be
found one or more OF the various
remedies recommended for the relief
of constipation. In the majority OF
homes today the combination Of sim
pie laxative herbs with pepsln known
as DR.. Caldwelis Syrup Pepsin is re-
cognized as the standard laxative.
Druggists everywhere report a con
stantly increasing demand for this
splendid ,remedy which is sold for
fifty cents a bottle.
Mr.. James Ash, 102 Green St, Cum.

constipation he had ever used ana
that he always Keeps a bottle OF il ON

STATE May PURCHASE
LIBERTY LOAN BONDS
Proposed That 100000 of North Da-
kota's School Fund be Used for
War Purposes.

Bismarck, N. D., May rs. - North
Dakota will purchase 100000 worth
of Liberty Loan bonds from the sur
plus which has accumulated in its
permanent university and school lands
fund. When North Dakota became g.
state, the government granted lands
for the perpetual benefit of the public
schools which will ultimately bring the
state $50,000,000. Former Governor
Hanna's suggestion that 500, 900 of the
surplus which has accumulated from
the sales and lease of these lands be
appropriated for the purchase of bonds
was considered at a meeting of the
board yesterday. One member-the
attorney general-was absent, and the
four present divided two and two on
the proposal.
The only argument advanced against
the purchase of the bonds was that
taking 100000 out of the fund might
discommode the farmer who probably
will be a heavy borrower from the
state this fall, when he will need large
sums for the harvesting of his bumper
crops. The state treasurer points out,
however, that only certain percent
age of the surplus can be put out in
farm loans, and that there already has
accumulated more than 100000 in ex-
cess Of this surplus.
Final action was deferred until next
Thursday, when 1t is believed ap-
plication for 100000 worth of bonds
will be made.
Uncle Sam gave us these lands to
begin WITH" said q member of the
board, land the least we can do Is to
loan our nation a paltry hundred thou
sand in its time Of need. ] do not
believe there is a farmer in North Da-
kota who would not favor such loan"

IS MEMBERS OF
ORCHARD FAMILY
SERVING In WAR
Remarkable Record Attain
ed-Several Fargo Men
Are In The List

Fifteen members from one family,
given to the military service OF two
representative nations, is a pretty fair
contribution in the fight for the democ-
ratizing Of the world.
Thirteen members Of the, Orchard
family in England are with the Brit
ish forces in France and Belgium, and
two OF the members of the Orchard
family at Dickinson, N. D., Welland
J., who is in the officers training camp
at Fort Smelling, and DIR. Norris G.,
who has just accepted lieutenancy
in the New York Medical corps, leav-
ing a profitable practice at Rochester,
N. Y, have given themselves in serv-
ice to the United States.
Both Welland and Norris are gradu-
ates of Fargo college, and the latter a
graduate Of Johns Hopkins university
at Baltimore. Both were prominent in
athletics while in Fargo. Welland is
owner of the largest drug store in
Dickinson.
The Orchards formerly resided in
Fargo.
The representation of the family in
military service may not stop with
fifteen. John Orchard, father of
Welland and Norris, present secretary
of the Dickinson Commercial club,
though too old for active service on
the firing line, is an aspirant for place
in the supply department of the Unit
ed States army. He was for several
years head of the supply department
of the Canadian Pacific Railway COM
pany, and, with his well known ability
for organizing. may win a place with
Uncle Sam.
Mr.. Orchard was formerly superin-
tendent of the North Dakota Sunday
School association, and was the main
push in the campaign for $4,000 for
the erection of the Red Trail bridge at
Medora.

CUT OFF SUPPLY
OF AMMUNITION.
Government Takes Action
To Conserve Supply OF
Material

Lieutenant F. B. Carrithers, military
instructor at the agricultural college,
has received information to the effect
that the government supply Of ammu-
milton for target practice for military
corps at educational institutions, city
and community rifle clubs and other
civilian organizations, has been cut off
by the war department in order to
conserve the supply.
To promote efficiency in the art Of
craftsmanship, the government has
been supplying the Fargo Rifle club
and other similar organizations with a
certain amount of ammunition free Of
charge. Another institution of Fargo
to receive these shipments was the
agricultural college, the supply being
distributed among the cadets.
1t has been suggested that some of
the Fargo patriotic organizations of
the city assume the responsibility for
furnishing ammunition to the civilian
organizations.
