Proper Food for Weak stomachs.

The proper food for one man may be
all wrong for another. Every one
should odopt diet suited to his age
and occupation. Those who have weak
stomaches need to be especially careful
and should eat slowly and masticate
their food thoroughly. 1t is also i'm
portant that they keep their bowels
regular. When they become consti-
pated or when they feel dull and stupid
after eating, they should take Cham
berlain's Tablets to strengthen the
stomach and move the bowels. They
are easy to take and pleasant in effect.

Hon. Archie R. Anderson, of
Houston, Texas. Ex-Sheriff of
Harrison County, recently.
Mr.. Anderson needs no intro
duction to the people of Texas,
as he is unquestionably, not only
one of the best known, but one
of the most popular men that
ever held public office in 1.-The
Lone Star" state. After serv-
ing Deputy Sheriff of Harrison
County for twelve years, Mr..
Anderson was elected Chief of
Police of the city of Houston.
He had occupied this office but a
short time when the Sheriff of
Harrison County died. Mr.. An
dcrson's friends pursuaded him
to make the race for the unex-
pired term of Sheriff to which he
was easily elected. He was hon
ored with reelection seven diff
ferent times and served the
people in this important office
for fifteen consecutive years.
Four years ago Mr.. Anderson
declined reelection and retired
to private life. He cast his lot
among the people of Houston
and is a large property owner
and formost citizen of this in
teresting and prosperous city.

wareheim was awarded $2,250 for in
juries received at the Husebye & Eli
thorpe coal mine by the verdict of the
jury = @ q. q. -r
The case was the most interesting so
far tried at this term of district court.
The trial consumed more than four
days and was contested with all the
cleverness possessed by the attorneys
Sinkler of Minot, were attorneys for
the plaintiff, and T. F. Craven, of Pal
mer, Craven & Burns, and U. L. Bur
dick for the defendants.
The accident happened in 1915 when
the plaintiff, Wareheim, assisted In dis
engaging the cable that held the cage
and fell with the cage and a car of coal
about seventy feet to the bottom of the
shaft Besides broken bones, Ware
helm claimed that his sight and hear
ing were impaired and that he is still
incapacitated for work. The total dam
ages claimed in the suit was $4,000:
The courtroom was packed with IN
terested spectators during the taking
of evidence and especially when the
attorneys pleaded the case before. the

WED with each other in tossing pro-
fessional bouquets and heaping encomi-
ums upon each Others heads. Each
vowed eternal friendship and endless
admiration for the other but warned
the jury against being unduly sWayed
by the eloquent sophistries of the other.
AS Is usual in such cases, the verdict
was undoubtedly a compromise.

ward they are entitled for starting the
concern.

president; J. H. Newton, vice presi-
dent; L. A. Tavis, vice president. Jos.

$4,000. FIRE
AT MANDAN

Mandan, n D., Jan. IA FIRE which
started in the rear of the Peerless bak-
cry caused a financial loss of approx
mately $4,000, and a municipal gain OF
two less shacks.
When Jack Mcdonald, proprietor of
of business, he found the bake shop in
flames. 1t was impossible to save any
of the stock, but he managed to secure
his books, papers, etc.
The fire quickly spread to the build
ing adjoining to the east, owned by
Mrs. e. g. Rice. and proved a stub
born blaze, which was not finally ex-
to prevent the flames spreading to 9th
err frame buildings adjoining, 1t was
necessary to tear out the fronts of the
Rice and bakery buildings. Both are
a total loss.
M. Rosen, of the Rosen Bargain store,
had but recently taken lease on the
81 900 instailing new axtures and max
ing repairs. This was uninsured. Err
nest Roderick, barber, who recently
moved his shop from the place, had a
stove, bath tubs, and other things
stored in the place, which he had not
had time to move, and his loss will be
about $500.
Mcdonald says that his loss is $1,000,
and this is partially covered by $4,000
Insurance..
The building occupied by the bakery
is owned by, Levi Romeo, and was In
sured for $500 with the Ellis agency.
The Rice building was insured with
the Tavis agency.
About $50 damage from water was
caused to the Champion Shoe shop, Mu-
shik & Son, proprietors; and perhaps
800 damage to the Killand confection-
cry store.

BUSY time FOR
TAX ASSESSORS
(By staff Correspondent. }

Bismarck, N. D., Jan. 17.-Under
the provisions of S. B. No. So, intro
duced by Senators Ettestad and Nell
son, high treason and anarchy will be
tame crimes as compared with that
committed by the property holder who
neglects to properly cross a "T'h when
filing out his property schedule. This
schedule goes to the assessor, who lie
to be allowed expenses in addition ia
his present stipend, but this official
isn't allowed to take the taxpayers
word for it--not by long shot. HaT-
ing read the funny papers, we know
all about the pernicious influence OF
taxes, which makes liars and thieves
out of otherwise yeracious and honest
citizens. Therefore, after he receives
this schedule, Mr.. Assessor is requir-
ed to drop around and verify every
item and then, and only then, is the
property owner permitted to take his
oath that the list is correct.
The taxpayer has just one chance
TO even things with the assessor. For
no matter how much or how little the
assessor may find in neighbor Jones
cellar. he must not breathe word OF
it. even to his wife.
