The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages. n
that Is catarrh. Catarrh being greatly

Ill. "Last winter our little boy two
years of age had a severe cold that set
tied on his lungs and W. were greatly
worried over his condition. He had

How to Avoid Stomach Troubles.

Digestion begins in the mouth.
Food should be thoroughly masticated.
Your food should be suited to your age
and occupation. People of ~sedentary
habits should eat little meat, but
should drink an abundance Of water,
especially when they first get up in
the morning and between meals. When
you feel dull and stupid after eating,
that shows that you have eaten too
much. The bowels should be kept
regular. When needed take a dose OF
Chamberlain's Tablets. They will i'm
prove your digestion and move the
bowels.-Adv.

administrator. The labor supply at

distribution, it has been impossible to
handel the coal. This situation is rap

within the last few weeks the weekly
tonnage brought into the state has
been increased from 1000 tonus to g.
600, and still furthed advances are in
prospect. ~ =: -
Consumers of anthracite under the
federal fuel administration ruling for
North Dakota are permitted to ltore
not more than 2-3 of the amount of
fuel which they consumed during the
last year. Users Of other grades Of
coal may store enough to meet their
requirements up to March 81, 1919.
Anthracite coal will be distributed on
a pro rata basis. No consumer will
be permitted to fill his bins to % ca

recommends that dealers use care in

WHAT RUSSIA FACES.

Poor Russia!

suppressing the German outlaw, it has time to
sympathize with the appalling plight of the af-
f!lcted people of Russia, and it should take time
to help them so far as it can. ,>"
1t IS clear-so clear that the last apolopist for
the Trotzky-Lenine regime of hate, terrorism and
murder has been silenced-that the Bolshevist
government" of Russia is an anarchistic minor
ity, subsidized by Germany, which holds its power
over betrayed, distracted, disappointed and
ruined people only by a reign of terrorism, en-.
forced by wholesale MURDER such as the world
never saw before
Everybody who has or used to have two dollars
is suspect: He is potential enemy of Bolshevist
rule, and therefore must be put out of the way.
Everybody who has brains or can read is suspect
and marked for slaughter unless he joins the Boil
sheviki rulers in their reckless destruction Of
human life.
Meanwhile, Russia is parayzed It is produc-
ing nothing It is giving little or no employment,
paying little wages. There is little to eat or
to wear or to do with, and what there is can be
obtained only at impossible prices. Potentially

A SOP TO THE PEOPLE.

If rulers of the German federated states are
seriously considering suffrage reforms as press
dispatches out of Germany indicate, some real
light is thrown on the internal affairs of the en-
pire.
There is not a German ruler, from the kaiser
down to the most insignificant princeling who
would relinquish one iota of his power if HE WAS
NOT FORCED TO IT.
BY throwing sop Of suffrage to the people
these rulers hope to override the discomfort which
is sweeping Germany from the Baltic to the Aus
trian border
They hope to gain the confidence of the people
to counterbaance the internal revulsion caused by
the DETECTION of Bulgaria and the defeats on the
west front
They hope to save their tottering thrones from
the wave of democracy which will be born of mill
tary defeat So.
1t is the beginning of the end, the downfall of
militaristic autocracy in Germany and the Ger:
man federated states
