Railway Officials Pledge AS

Development.

Bismarck, N. D., Jan. 16.-Presi-
dent ]. NJ. Hannaford, federal mana
ger of the Northern Pacific railway at
St. Paul. Mimi. has written the fed
eral fuel administration for North
Dakota pledging the cooperation of
his company in the prompt distribu-
ton Of Ignite and c"omplimenting the
Flickertail fuel board on what, it has
accomplished along the lines of IA
the virtues of their native fuel. In
response, Attorney Benton Baker, as
sistant fuel administrator, in a letter
to Mr.. Hannaford, says:
please accept III hanks for your
letter Of the 26th inst, relative to the
movement of North Dakota Ignite.
Your interest therein is greatly appre-
ciated. 1t is gratifying, indeed, to
know hat there is an adequate car
supply.
1.-THE Ignite mines in North Dakota
have done very well during the cur
rent season, insofar as they have
been able to overcome the shortage of
labor. The influenza epidemic has
been quite severe in the rural districts
Of North Dakota, and the Ignite
mines have suffered greatly there
from. The larger. Ignite mines pro-
duced more than the usual summer
tonnage, but they might have pro-
duced J.. greater tonnage had the or
ders been forthcoming.
This office has conducted a cam
paign of education to the limit Of its
ability to encourage the production
and consumption of Ignite in North
Dakota and in adjoining states. With

LADD EXPLAINS
DROWN'S GRAIN
GRADING BILL
Agricultural College Presi.
dent Addresses Legisla-
ture on New Bill.

Bismarck, Md, Jan. 16.-Dr. u. r.
Ladd, president of the state agricul-
tural college and chief inspector CT
grains and grading, appeared before
the committee or warehouse and
grain grading of the senate Tuesday
afternoon to explain Senator Drow1's
new grain grading bill, of which DR..
Ladd is h instigator.
DR.. Ladd explained that the only
purpose he had in including 2 pro-,
vision that a member. of the college
faculty be employed as chief inspec-
tor, under the new law, which u sal
airy of $1,000 per annum, was to show
a proper respect for the state bo2rd
of regents, in whose employ al! men,
bers of the agricultural college facul-
ty were. He stated the salary proviso
was not essential, that 1t was included
in the old bill, but never had been
drawn, and hat it was not considered
as a possible increase for the menu
Der of the faculty chosen to be chief
inspector of grains, grades, weights
and measures. but to be made a por-
him, thus relieving the college of so
much expense.
Senator Gibbons suggested that in
asmuch as the personnel Of the board
of regents was constantly changing,
the clause giving it a supervisory ca
pacity might embarrass some future
administration. DR.. Ladd was dis
posed to believe that the clause
should remain, and the committee
passed this point.
I'VE now have two separate de-
Tense Of the Drown bill. zone of
these is doing work under tho rail-
way commission and the other under
the grain inspection bureau. There
cannot be the close cooperation
which would result were both of these
departments under n head. One in
spection should include elevator ac-
counts and grain at the same time,
thus effecting economy and promoting
efficiency.
1.-The new bill calls for a continual
ton of quarterly reports. Elevate,
men have protested making reports
SO often. 1 sympathize with them
but if we are to have a constant check
over these elevators. we must have
frequent reports. It would do us nc
good if we were to learn after a year
had passed that an elevator was ir
bad shape. We should have regular
reports quarterly and special reports
whenever we call for them.

DAILY HEALTH TALKS
URIC ACID IN THE SYSTEM
BY LEE H. SMITH, M. d.

OASAo fAA1A AN Ax1C 0AS1 EN-
BY LEE H. SMITH, M. d.
Uric acid is now generally ecogn-
lied as the cause Of more diseases
was heretofore believed. When
the kidneys are out Of order uric acid
accumulates within the body in super
abundance. The disordered kidneys
do not filter the poisons out of the
blood, as they ought to do, and so the
poisons remain in the blood and float
around until they find a place to lodge
in form of urate salts. The thing to
remember is that you may have rheu-
matism in any part Of the body-you
may have pains anywhere-.your back
may ache and your head may be dizzy
the trouble is not where the
pain appears. The trouble is in the
kidneys, and what is the first thing to
do? You must get that excess uric
acid out of your system, which can be
done by taking Anuric Tablets, the
splendid remedy which DR.. Pierce, of
Buffalo, N. Y, has put on sale in the
drug stores at a low price. Anuric
Tablets (made double strength), when
taken into the system as medicine.
have the peculiar power of %dissolving
the uric acid deposited there. Drop a
bit of sugar or salt into hot water, and
it will disappear. In precisely the
same way do these Anuric Tablets dis
solve uric acid. OF course, after
Kidding the system of uric acid, it
may return again unless you a the
right foods and live the right kind of
life, but DR.. Pierce will advise you
fully IN proper food and correct living
if you write and ask him. He makes
no charge for such advice. Take
! Anuric Tablets today, by all means
and get that uric acid out of your sys-
tenn. Don't. don't, don't, put the mat
ter off.

Through the patriotic activities Of
the North Dakota fuel administration
Ignite has been introduced and is
now established in many a home
which prior to the war regarded this
native fuel as mor or less-of a Joke.
No one who has eve given Ignite a
thorough test in any suitable furnace
or heating stove wishes to return to
any other fuel. The North Dakota
coal is comparatively clean to handle,
is almost entirely free from SCOT, has
a very small sulphur content, does
not as a rule clinker, burns to a very
fine ash and produces little free gas.
1t is equally ~serviceable in a kitchen
range, in a hot air, hot water or steam
furnace or in an old fashioned box
stove. 1t takes fire quickly, burns
freely, and will hold fire indefinitely
when the drafts are closed, and, ex
cept when a quantity of fine dust Is
heaped on the fire, there is practically
no danger of explosion. Compared
with Illinois, Indiana or Iowa blum
inous, with its high content of slate
and other foreign matter, its heavy
percentage of sulphur, it's proneness
to explode, it's general dirtiness ant
soot-making ~proclivities, Ignite would
be the more desirable fuel, even If i
cost more. while as a matter Of fact
