PREJUDICE LEADS TO WRONG
Warps Our Judgment and Breeds IN
justice, Unkindness and Even
Cruelty, Says Writer.

Prejudice is an insidious thing. It
crecps into the soul unaware. 1t leads
us to say and do wrong things; it
warps our judgment and leads to in
Justice, unkindness and even cruelty,
says writer in the Milwaukee Jour-
nal. 1t paves the way for hatred and
malice. In proportion as we learn to
clear our minds of prejudice we be-
come better men and women; we win
friends and dissolve enmities; we are
more worthy Of respect and confidence.
No one wants to be Judged by false
standards that prejudice sets up. Be-
ware of judging others in such light.
Prejudice cramps the mind and the
heart; it stands in the way OF right
full growth of character.
It is wise to search your heart, and
If you find prejudice there to set about
to root it out wholly. Do not be sure
you of all men are unprecedented. That
is the danger; for prejudice is guarded
by vanity. Seek to be just in all things,
small as we'll as great. In all the re-
lations of life be sure you are not judy
ing another. not for his error but from
your prejudice. For the worst thing
about this weakness is that it breeds
Injustice and unkindness and malice.
It hurts innocent folk and makes no
one happier.

Mill City Man
Receives Bomb

Minneapolis, June 5.--An unsuccess-
full effort to assassinate John d.
Walker, with an internal machine, was
made early today. Attempts of the
assassins to allay suspicion probably
saved his life. The machine, equipped
with a timing device. which gave it
three chances to explode was taken
by the Minneapolis police.
A package neatly wrapped in paper
was left on Walkers desk. On it
was q tag with his name. Several
other tags and labels were pasted on
the package. One read: "A free
trial. and others bore names of hard
ware and oil companies. On remov-
ing the wrappers, Mr.. Walker found
box with spring protruding This
aroused his suspicious and he turned
it over to the police. When the box
was opened under water, it was found
to contain pint of giant powder.
Mr.. Walker said he'knew of no one
who would want to end his life, and
could not name any suspects.

registered here to cvade RESPONSE
bility."
Nowhere in the city was the least
vcstige of disorder or discord report
ed. The registrars had little oppOr-
tunity to rest from early morning I'M
til after the noon rush, but the men
who came to sign up for the selectivc
service had their answers ready and
did everything possible to expediatc
the work.
In number of cases men over the
age limit have insisted upon register
ing, believing that by so doing they
may have a chance OF being drafted.
Early this morning Adjutant General
Tharalson directed registrars to ac-
ccpt these registrations rather than
diSappOint any patriotic citizen who
desires to offer his services, but to not
include them with their regular re-
ports.
Federal Officer Here
A federal officer quietly slipped i'll
to Bismarck last evening to take a
census of registration. sentiment and
to observe whether the pro-Gelman-
ness of the capital city's name in any
wise affected its patriotism. At noon
he expressed the opinion that Bis
marck need not cosider the necessity
of changing its name to prove its 10y .
atty The registration here, he an
nounccd, is going splendid]y, with the
number in practically every precinct
exceeding expectations, and with no
sign of opposition, disorder or dissat-
isfaction.
Require Extra Supplies
AS early as noon requests for extra
supplies began coming in from Regain,
Mckenzie and the Sixth Ward in Bis
marck. All of these precincts had
been supplied with cards which the
registration board deemed sufficient
for normal demand. It is apparent
that everywhere the registration is
running we'll ahead of expectations.
The sheriff reported at 2 o'clock that
not a single complaint of disorder or
stacking" has come from any Bur
leigh county precinct, and any slight
which may have been an
ticipated have failed to matcrializc.
Women Not SIackers
= Bismarck women are not 5laCke"5.
Not a single capital city wife appear
ed at the registration booths today to
claim exemptions for her husband.

.AN7ID07ES FOR
BODILY P0|SONS
10y L. n. Smith, M. d.

The victims Of administration are
many thousand every day. BY reason
of the toxins, or pOisOns bred in the
intestines, these poisonous bacteria
are sent all through the blood chan
ncls and the victim feels tired, sleepy
and hcadachy, or the brain doesn't
work as usual. The best treatment
for this is to drink hot water before
breakfast-plenty of water all day and
procure simple laxative made of
May.apple, leaves of aloe, etc, with
no calomcl and entirely vegetable,
which can be obtained at any drug
store, known as DR.. Piercc's Pleasant
Pellets.
Equally important is it to cleanse
kidneys and bladder, and drinking
plentifully Of pure water will cleanse
them to a certain extent Then OBJ
tain at the drug store little Anuric,
which was first discovered by DR..
Pierce of Surgical Institute in Buff
falo, N. Y. Anuric double strength
should be taken before meals. 1t is
many times more potent than lithia
in throwing off the poisonous accu-
mutations of uric acid.
Through failure of kidneys to act,
through congestion, inflammation, any
persons condition is ripe for disease
to fasten it's hold upon the system.
Anuric has been tested for the past
few years for kidneys, bladder, uric
acid troubles, rheumatism, govt and
such ailments as follow, and so many
cases both acute and stubborn have
yielded to this wonderful remedy that
I do not hesitate to recommend it.

NJ EW YORK, Dec. 2e.-It Is easy
IN to fall back on q sleeve when one
cannot achieve an original touch
in any other part OF the frock, The
trick OF going to museums Of art for
inspiration In new sleeves has broad
ened the field OF endesvor In such an
extraordinary manner that the onlooker
feels inclined to believe that a red dan
ger signal should be put up,
IL Is oil very we'll to copy the sleeves
OF ancient days and races. but II ID not
wise to incorporate them without due
study OF their relation to the rest Of
the gown.
Sleeves belong to history. they are
part of its development They are also
racial. They are identical with certain
languages, climates and national tem-
peraments. II is simple enough to copy
a sleeve from the vast sstorehouse OF
canyases that present themselves to the
designer, but Il Is difficult task 10 CO.
ordinate that sleeve with the costume,
with the activities OF the woman OF the
hour and with the climate and tempera-
rnent Of the nation to which the women
belong.
History IN Ssgmsnts.
It is not wise to overlook one Of
life's most famous axiems, that a little
knowledge is dangerous thing To
know history in segments and to ap-
ply II in sections, is trodding in a peril
Gus path.
A vast amount OF enthusiasm Is
shown for museums these days by those
who wish to invent new apparel, or,
rather. apply what is old to new de-
mands; but one cannot rush into
museum, catch q sleeve on a notebook,
rush back to the workroom and have a
designer put II into gown that is be-
ing created on the spot for an after
noon wedding at a fashionable church
This has been done and the result was
disastrous
II one ID going to incorporate bits Of
history into modern apparel, II is best
to know more Of history than the bits.
Clothes, like architecture. are built as
a whole moi as Z part, and to put Ger
tain sleeves into the wrong gowns is
like taking q fragment Of the Tai
Mahal as an addition to the eighteenth
century Georgian house.
However, the fashion is here to in
corporate all kinds OF sleeves into
frocks, to give them an air Of novelty.
We are deadly afraid Of being com
monplace, and, therefore, we are lash
ing our wits to keep pace with our
patriotism and show the world that we
can still wear good looking clothes and
invent them, il necessary.
The Medieval Sleeve.
The French designers and their col
leagues here have given the world
great variety Of sleeves taken from the
middle ages, In which the predominant
Ing feature was the bell shaped flare at
the lower edge. Sometimes, these open
sleeves had tight ones that wrinkled
beneath and extended 70 the wrist. Il
