QUA|T IS SOL0IST
FOR WOMEN'S CLUB

With the announcement Of the first
fall meeting of the Richmond Women's
Club comes an announcement of the
years first open meeting.
Mrs. Fred Bartel, chairman Of the
music department, is sponsoring the
meeting, on October 81. Robert Quait,
a successful young American tenor,
will appear as the soloist. The con-
cert will be free to all members Of
the Women's Club and tickets will be
sold to non-members.
The appearance here Of Quait Is con-
sidered especially fortunate. Mrs. Bar

qua, New York, where she met him
two years ago and says that he was
one of the most successful artists
there.
Seven other open meetings will be
held. Each of the four departments
of the club will sponsor, two, as we'll
as holding two membership meetings

OLD ENGLISH RECIPE FOR CA.
TARRH, CATARRHAL DEAFNESS
AND HEAD NOISES

II you know of some one who is
troubled with Catarrhal Deafness,
head noises or ordinary catarrh cut
out this formula and hand it to them
and you may have been the means
of saving some poor sufferer perhaps
from total deafness. In England
scientists for a long time past have
recognized that catarrh is a constitu-
tional disease and necessarily requires
constitutional treatment.
Sprays, inhalers and nose douches
are liable to irritate the delicate air
passages and force the disease into
the middle ear which frequently
means total deafness, or else the dis
ease may be driven down the air
passages towards the lungs which is
equally as dangerous. The following
formula which is used extensively in
the damp English climate is a consti-
tutional treatment and should prove
especially efficacious to sufferers here
who live under more favorable climate
conditions.
Secure from your druggist l ounce
of Parmint Double strength. Take
this home and add to it u pint of hot
water and a little granulated sugar;
stir until dissolved. Take one table
spoonful four times a day. This will
often bring quick relief from distress
ing head noises. Clogged nostrils
should open, breathing become easy
and hearing improve as the inflamma-
ton in the eustachiIn tubes is reduc-
ed Parmint used in this way acts
directly upon the blood and mucous
surfaces of the system and has tonic
action that helps to obtain the desired
results. The preparation is easy to
make. costs little and is pleasant to
take. Every person who has catarrh
or head noises or is hard of hearing
| should give this treatment a trial.

Early Settlers Recall Days When
Deer Lived in Mouse River Woods


J. N. Johnson, one of the pioneer
farmers Of Ward county, related some
incidents Of the early days that are
very interesting. Mr.. Johnson resides
on farm of nearly 300 acres in the
Mouse river valley two miles west of
Minot. He has lived continuously on
this place since 1886 and there is
probably but one farmer in this dis
trict who has continued to live on his
land for longer period. He is Mr..
Johnson's neighbour, Peter E. Peter
son, who settled on his farm two years
prior, or in 1884. This is the same
year that John Wallin settled on his
homestead up the river.
Mr.. johnson says that in those days
no one lived on the prairie. If one
CHANGED to meet another man on the
prairie, it proved to be quite a sur
prise for each. There were plenty Of
deer in the woods along Mouse river
in those days and many Of the settlers
shot one whenever they wanted lit
tie venison. The deer would come to
the water holes in Mouse river, which
were cut by the settlers for their cows.
The buffalo had all disappeared by
the time Mr. johnson came here, but
their bones lay scattered everywhere
over the prairie. He says for many
years after that he could see the
tracks of the buffalo in the soft
ground about the springs where they
would come for water. The buffalo
had been killed by the Indians and
white hunters, who killed them for
their hides. Buffalo coats were so
cheap in those days that the best coats
could be bought for S25 to $35. Now
they cannot be bought for any price.
