|KILLDEER TO HAVE

Killdeer, N. D., Feb. Is. - Nothing

half has already been requested by
several parties and there is demand
for practically all the available room.
The entire structure will be steam
heated and electric, lighted and
modern in every way. (
A stock company of the members
of the Odd Fellows lodge is promoting
the project. The shares are 500 each

: :... In Enforcing the Laws

Bismarck, N. D.. Feb 13.--Fargo
Forum: Considerable comment has
been made in the papers of the
change of heart Attorney General
LANCER has experienced, because he
paid for ride from Mandan to Bis
marck to attend the funeral Of rela-
tive on Sunday.
AS matter of fact Mr.. LANCER has
had no change of heart. He has
never said, and does not believe the
so-called blue laws" are good ones.
He believes they are not right and
should be changed, and the best way
to have them changed or removed
from our statutes is to enforce them
and so bring them directly before the
people, who will quickly see that they
are changed. He does believe, how
ever, that so long as they remain laws
they should be enforced.

ney for Morton county two years ago,

Most Effective Remedy
Mother Had EUer Used
Dr.. CaldOeRs Syrup PepSin
RelisOes Baby When Other
Medicines Failed

There is nothing so necessary to a
child's health and comfort as regular
ity OF the bowels. All children are espe-
cially susceptible to stomach trouble
and any overstrain of the sensitive or
gans has a tendency to obstruct eltmi-
nation. This condition is responsible for
much of the illness Of childhood.
To relieve constipation a mild laxa-
tive should be employed. Cathartics and
purgatives are violent in their action
and should be avoided. Mrs. Alfred Du
Bots, Mt. Holly, N. j., says DR.. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin is without doubt
the most effective remedy for consti-
patton she has ever used and that it is
the only remedy she cound find for her
baby. Little Earl was badly constipat-
ed during his first year and nothing
she tried seemed to help him until she
got a bottle OF DR.. Caldwelrs Syrup
Pepsin. Now he is a fine, strong,
healthy boy, and she thanks DR.. Cald-
well for it.
DR.. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin is a COM
bination Of simple laxative herbs with
pepsin free from opiates or narcotic
drugs; it acts gently without gripping
or other discomfort. and appeals to
children because Of its pleasant taste.

STAMPS

Bismarck. N. D.. Feb. 1e-At the
annual meeting here yesterday Of the
directors Of the North Dakota Retail
Merchants association. the following
resolution, opposing the trading stamp
game, was adopted:
Whereas practice consumers on GER
tain manufacturers and jobs and GER
tain corporations are given premiums,
trading stamps! and other articles free
of charge with the goods sold to the
retail merchants, who in turn give
them to their customers, free of
charge, with their purchases which
conveys the idea that they are getting
something for nothing which is erron-
eous ana false and in every instance
either adds to, the cost Of goods
bought by the farmer and consumer
in general, or Is taken from the quail
ty in same and said trading stamp CO.
operations are non taxpayers and are
leach upon the community in gen.
eral, }tf " S. ,.E.
Be it therefore resolved that the
North Dakota Retail Merchants assoc
citation go on record as opposed to such
practice, firmly believing that it would
be better and more honest business

abandoned.

RECORD LOSS OF
LIFE AT one time
tBy Associated Press.l

London, Feb. 16.-The heaviest loss
of life at sea in single naval casualty
since the war occurred was that in the
Sea of Marmora on May 10. 1915, when
the Turkish transport Gul Canal was
torpedoed by the British submarine E.
IA and sunk, with the loss of $500
lives. Particulars of the sinking were
given this week in the prize court.
The Gull Canal was formerly the
British ship Ottawa, and before that,
the Germania. She was bought by the
Turkish government some time before
the war and converted into a trans
port. At the time Of the sinking she
was carrying 5000 Turkish troops
from Galata to Gallipoli, together with
a field battery of six 75mm Krupp
guns.
The story was told in the prize court
owing to the application of the crew
of the Ella for the prize bounty OF
Ave pounds per head which the British
law allows to men of war who sink
enemy warships. The amount claimed
in this case is $1,000 pounds.
Counsel for the Ella, in Introducing
the case, said: This is large sum.
but a soldier Is worth hundreds of
pounds, and prize bounty at five
pounds per head for sinking 5000 OF
them is small in comparison. We con-
tend that the transport was an arm
ed ship within the meaning OF the
prize bounty act. She was a perman-
emit constituent Of the Turkish navy.
AS early as 1908. it was the practice
to arm permanently some OF the Turk
ish troopships. In this particular
case the Gull Canal had aboard field
artillery as well as men armed with
rifles, and she was therefore, a very
formidable opponent to submarine"

Favors Measure Giving
Reasonable Sunday Law
.(By STAFF Correspondent, !

10y SLdA SOITSSpOHQSnI.I
Bismarck, ". D., Feb. 16.-Senate
Bill No. 81. the famous Sunday lid
measure, was passed by the house
committee on state affairs without
amendment yesterday, and it was re-
ported for favorable action in the
house this afternoon. Unless an eff
fort Is made to amend the bill on the
floor, it is expected that 81 will pass
the house with but little opposition.
This bill takes the lid from Sunday
newspaper publishing, bakeries, boot
black stands, confectionery, cigar and
tobacco stores and drug stores. 1t
practically restores as legal features
of the Sabbath conditions which OBJ
tained by common consent under the
present laws before William LANCER
became attorney general and insisted
upon the enforcement of the laws as
they are now on the books.

Der Of the board and reducing the tax
for the guaranty fund from IA of one
percent of the deposits to 1-20 of one
per cent, the senate state affairs COM
mittee this morning passed Senator
browns bank deposits guarantee bill.
The bill, as amended, provides that
a special assessment may be levied at
any time to make up any deficit in the
guaranty fund, and it is believed to
fully meet North Dakota conditions. 1t
is predicted that the passage of, this
bill will bring into the state millions
of dollars of foreign capital.
The senate committee On state at
fairs will report out a number of joint
