SERATHOL FOR

Owing to the great variety of

would give substantial and lasting
benefits: even granting that the Sc

stomach irregularities buying and
trying ;irst one cure" then an
other, In a vain endeayor TO obtain
relief Recent Investigations Of the
treatment OF large number Of cases
OF indigestion, dyspepsia. Rastritis
and conditions arising from hyper
acidity OF the stomach, prove that
there Ia nothing more effective in
the treatment Of these ailments than
ordinary serathoi. which can be oh
falreu from any good druggist at
trifling cost. Many a sufferer from
these complaints has been ngreeably
surprised at the almost instanta-

cases OF hyper-acidity. a single dose
OF serathol produces almost magic

.CANVASSINC
BOARD MUST
MAKE ANSWER
Contest Will Be Launched
in Supreme Court Against
Recent Action of Board.

Fargo, N. D., Dec. ga contest
will be launched in the supreme court
Of North Dakota against the action Of
the state canvassing board in declar-
ing passed the group of five constitu-
tional amendments initiated by the
Nonpartisan league that failed to OBJ
tain "a majority of all votes cast in
the election" as provided by the con-
stitution, but which were declared
passed because they had a majority
of the votes cast on each individual
amendment.
The exact form the action will take
on has not been definitely announced,
according to information that became
available in Fargo today.
Ever since the .canvassing board
declared the amendments passed, on
the strength Of an opinion signed by
William LANCER, as attorney general,
who held that the clause in the cor
%stitution requiring that ar initiated
amendment to pass must have "a ma
jority of all the votes cast in the cleo
. tion," meant a majority of the votes
cast for and against each amendment,
1t has been regarded as certain that
a test would be started.
There are four Nonpartisan league
members of the state supreme court,
one of whom has already publicly an
nounced that the ~canvassing boards
action was unlawful. One member of
the court was elected before the
judiciary was thrown into politics by
the Nonpartisan league.
