4 STRANGE FACT
 ABOUT CATHARTICS
Evidence Given by a Louisiana Lad. HescriheS HGW some Cathar- tie Drugs Do Net
 Always Act.

1 Che Of the disadvantages in the usa of many laxative and cathartic rema- dies is the fact that the svs tenn seems, after awhile, t0 beaome acus- toned to their use, when taken for Il considerable length ol time. Thed- ford's Black Draurat does not seem to possess this drawback. to judge from many letters written us by us CTS One of these came from Mrs. Cecile Bl&nchford of Crosse Tete, La, who writes: "I cannot express my thanks for the good your Black Draught has done for mo. I have been sufferer of constipation for ] years. since my baby was born, and left mo with this complaint have tried so many other remedies, but dhey) would act awhile, and it seemed as if they would get used to me; would not do any more good: had to change again.
 Finally, in August, 1913 I read the Ladies Birthday Almanac. and began at once using ackDraught l gained my health, and "am as fine as ever. I will not be without Black Draught as long as life lasts
 The above letter shows that Thed- lords Black-Draught does not pos sess the disadvantage mentioned-a fact which users should remember when purchasing a laxative or cath artic remedy for general family use.

North Dakota Is Patriotic
People Will Subscribe to Their Share
Of Two Billion War Bond Issue
Bankers Talk Over Plans

Members Of the executive committee
in charge Of disposing of North Da-
kota's quota of U. s. government Lib
erty Loans, visited Minot Wednesday
afternoon and appeared before nearly
seventy-five bankers Of northwestern
North Dakota at the Association of
Commerce rooms.
r. E. Barron, chairman of the Ward
county committee, presided at the
meeting.
Gov. L. B. Hanna, member of the
board Of the Federal Reserve bank in
the Ninth district, gave comprehen-
sive address pertaining to the govern
ment bonds which are now being dis
posed of and aroused great deal of
enthusiasm. The United States is dis
posing Of two billion dollars worth Of
these liberty loans and North Dakota
is expected to purchase from one to
two million dollars worth Of them. The
bonds draw IL per cent interest and
are redeemable in from Is to 80 years.
The governor explained that while one
might realize larger rate Of interest
from some other Investment, it is our
patriotic duty to take up these bonds.
Undoubtedly after these bonds are
subscribed there will be others sold.
The money is not given to the govern
ment, it is merely loaned to Uncle

Syttende Mai Fest
The Independence Day of Norway Gel
ebrated in Minot with Appropriate
Ceremonies.

Today was a great day in Norweg-
ian circles, as on May II is celebrated
the independence Day of the Norweg-
ian people turnout the world. In Mi
not the event was marked by approp-
riate ceremonies at the Sons of Nor
way Hall on Central avenue, the fes-
tivities being set for eight o'clock p.
M, and long before that hour arrived
the hall was packed by an enthusiastic
audience of Norwegians, native born
and those of Norsk parentage. Isaak
Mattson, prominent in the Norwegian
circles of the city, called the assem-
blage to order and introduced States
Attorney Herigstad as the chairman
of the evening.
The program was opened by singing
America, Mrs. Andrew Molstein pre-
siding at the piano. The singing Of
this song was particularly impressive
as sung in the solemn manner charac-
teristic Of the Norwegian people. John
K. Sveen, president of the local society
of the Sons of Norway, was introduced
as the first speaker His address was
in the Norwegian language and dealt
with the conditions prevalent at the
time when the Constitution of Norway
was signed at Eidsvold in 1914. The
speaker mentioned the difficulties
which confronted Norway at that time,
the powers allied against Napoleon be-
ing determined to present Norway to
Sweden in return for her support to
their cause. This was at a time i'm
mediately following the treaty of Kiel,
at which the union of Denmark and
Norway had been dissolved. To add to
their foreign trials, just at that time,
the Norwegian people were confronted
with domestic difficulties requiring the
utmost patience and fortitude. For
several years preceding this event
there had been crop failures thruout
the nation and both the navy and the
army were handicapped for lack of adj
equate supplies. The situation was
one of utmost gravity to these brave
people, but nothing daunted the stout
hearted Norwegians at this national
crisis. The Norwegian Constitution
was precious document, equally prec-
ious to these hardy people as the Am
erican Constitution is to the Ameri-

rooms next Tuesday evening at 6:3O
o'clock. Tuesday, May %, has been
set as ''Keep Business Going" day and
the theme which will be under discus
sion at the banquet will be along the
line Of methods and means by whcih
the business of the country and Minot
in particular may best be "kept going
during the present war. Men of prom
inence in their various lines will dis
cuss the issue and it is confidently
predicted that the Forthcoming ban
quet will be one Of the most memoir
able events as well as the most pro-
ductive of good for the betterment Of
the present conditions throughout this
section ever held in the city. A COM
mittee consisting of L. D. McGahan,
r. B. Thompson and Secretary of the
Association Of Commerce w. E. Hol-

We understand the subjects have all
been assigned and the Keep Business

sumo position of exceptional promi-
hence in Minot during the few days
intervening between now and the ev-
ening of May %.
A committee was appointed to draft

Friday evening of this week was
set for the time when the members,
provided with rakes, hoes, shovels and
other implements adapted to the pur-
pose to assemble at the Night Camp
site and proceed to get said grounds
in shape In addition to clearing the
site, workmen will install the cement
ovens and other such like conveniences
for the comfort of passing tourists. A
fright busy" time is predicted. The
Minot Town Criers are doing most
commendable work and every move
ment which the club champions has
the merit of being for the welfare OF
the city and surrounding country and
having practical value from the
standpoint of utility as well.
The 'Mystery" banquet which fol
lowed the regular session Tuesday
evening of the Town Criers was pro-
nounced one of the most enjoyable, not
to say satisfying "feeds" the boys
have ever held. Chef Crandall assist
ed by Messrs. Smallwood and Morgan
set forth an assortment Of viands that
would have graced the board Of a
feudal lord, and right heartily did the
boys fall to. 1t is needless to say that
subsequent meetings will be better at
tended in anticipation Of another just
such spread as this one proved to be
It has been suggested that the new
Night Camp be dedicated with appro-
pirate ceremonies followed by another
"Mystery" dinner or whatever sort OF
term they may select as fit to desig-
nate feeds such as the one on Tuesday
evening.

MRS. DUNN'S ASSASSIN HAS
MADE CONFESSION OF CRIME

Jos. L. Renedbaugh, confessed assas-
sin of Mrs. Alice M. Dunn, divorced
wife of ST. Paul contractor, is held
in San Francisco, where he was arrest
ed while on his honeymoon. He says
that Dunn hired himself and McCool,
who was arrested the other day in
Omaha for the murder of Officer Con-
merry. Dunn suggested that the men
strip off Mrs. Dunn's valuable dia-
mond rings before killing her, to make
lit appear that the murder had been
committed through robbery, but Red
enbaugh says that he bungled the job.
Redenbaugh says that he and McCool
were to be paid 5000 for the job, but
that Moore, the bartender, who is held,
threw only $4,000 down on the bed.
The arrest of these desperate Grimm
ais is the result Of some mighty effect
i've work on the part Of the St. Paul
police and detectives. Chief John j.
O'Connor had held from the start that
the murders of Mrs. Dunn and Con-
merry had been committed by the same
men,
