If You Need a Medicine
 You Should Have the Best

Have you ever stopped to reason why it is that so many products that are ex- tensively advertised, all at once drop out of sight and are soon forgotten? The reason is plain-the article did not fulfill the promises of the manufacturer. This applies more particularly to medicine. A medicinal preparation that has real curative value almost sells itself, as like an endless chain system the remedy is recommended by those who have been benefited, to those who are in need of it.
 A prominent druggist says "Take for example Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, a preparation I have sold for many years and never hesitate to recommend, for in almost every case it shows excellent re- suits, as many of my customers testify. No other kidney remedy has so large a sale"
 According to sworn statements and verified testimony of thousands who have used the preparation, the success of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is due to the fact, SO many people claim, that it fulills al most every wish in overcoming kidney, liver and bladder ailments; corrects uri- nary troubles and neutralizes the uric acid which causes rheumatism.
 You may receive a sample bottle Of Swamp-Root by Parcels Post. Address Dr. Kilmer & Co.,, Binghamton, N. Y., and enclose ten cents; also mention this paper. Large and medium size bottles for sale at all drug stores.-Adv.

Beyond Restraint.

After trying in vain for months to get house Brown set out one day with find-a-house-or-di look on his face. He wandered about all day with out being successful, till at last his steps led him to the river.
 "Ah!" he said ia utter despair, ..how tempting it looks?" He was almost inclined to plunge in and end it all.
 All of a sudden he heard a splash and, looking around, he saw his friend Green struggling in the water. With out attempting to save him he rushed off to the local house agent.
 "Quick !'' he gasped. Green has fallen in the river. Can I have his house?'
 Sorry" said the house agent. i've already let it to the man who pushed him in."-London Ideas.

A SUMMER COLD

cold in the summer time, as every body knows, is the hardest kind of a cold to get rid of. The best and quick est way is to go to bed and stay there if you can, with bottle of "Boschee's Syrup" handy to insure a good nights rest, free from coughing, with easy ex- pectoration in. the morning.
 - But if you can't stay in bed you must keep out of draugfts, avoid sudden changes. eat sparingly of simple food and take occasional doses of Boschee's Syrup, which you can buy at any store where medicine is sold, safe and eff cient remedy, made in America for more than fifty years. Keep it handy.-Adv.

 There are many other ways. Existing law is inadequate There are many per- government can exercise restraint and guidance.
 Let me urge, in the first place, that the present foodstuf control act should be extended both as to the period of time during which it shall remain in operatio and to the commodities to which it shall apply.
 Its provision against hoarding should be made to apply not only to food but also to feed stuffsr to fuel, to clothing, and to many other commodities which are in disputably necessaries of life. As it stands it is limited in operation to the period of the war and becomes in operative upon the formal proclamation of peace. But should judge that it was clearly within the constitutional power of the congress to make similar permanent provisions and regulations with regard to all goods destined for interstate com- merce and to exclude them from inter state shipment if the requirements of the law are not complied with.
 Some such regulation is imperatively necessary.
 The abuses that have grown up in the manipulation of prices by the with holding of foodStuffS and other neceSSarieS of life cannot otherwise be effectively pre- vented. There can be no doubt of either thhe necessity or the legitimacy of such measures. May I not call attention to the fact, also, that, although the present act prohibits profteering, the prohibition is accompanied by penalty. It is clear ly in the public interest that a penalty should be provided which will be persua- sive

TO BE BURIED
HERE FRIDAY
Details as to Shoo oting Seem
To Indicate Crime Was
Prerneditated.

Funeral services for Elmer Dezell,
Emerado farmer killed last Sunday
by Joe Throndson, a man employed
on his farm, who then tried to kill
himself. will probably be held at En-
erado Friday and the body will then
burial.
Further arrangements are still in
complete pending the arrival of rela-
uves from the east.
Mrs. Dezell, wife of the deceased
was in Grand Forks Monday night
and conferred with T.. B. Elton,
states attorney, returning to Emer-
panied by a, brother of the deceased,
Michael Dezell. also of Emerado.
Mr.. Dezell is also survived by two
brothers and one sister living in New
York state, and one sister living in
Rochester, MINI.
Await Recovery.
States Attorney Elton said today
that Throndson would be arraigned
on a charge of murder in the first
degree as soon as his physical condi-
ton rendered this possible. Thrond-
son, who attempted to shoot himself
after killing Dezell, is in local hos
pital recovering from his self in
ficted wound. He is being closely
guarded, and it will probably be sew
eral days before he is in condition
to be taken before the court.
Silent As to Cause.
The states attorney declined to
comment today on the reports that
are current regarding the cause of
the quarrel between Dezell and
Throndson. although frankly stating
that Throndson had made a confess
sion.
ITO make any statement as to the
cause of the trouble at this time
would jeopradize the states case"
said Mr.. Elton.
For this reason the Herald does
not fell justified at present in giving
publicity to the reports as to the
cause Of the shooting which are gen
orally current in Grand Forks today.
Killing Prcmctlitated:
Mr.. Elton said, however. that the
evidence in the possession of the state
meditated.
It now appears according to the
states attorney that the quarrel be-
tween Throndson and Dezell Sunday
morning occurred before the latter
left the farm. While Dezell was
gone, Throndson, is said to have load
ed the rife (which was the joint prop
rety of the two. The shooting then
occurred Immediately on Dezell's re-
turn without any further quarrel taxi
ing place.
Throndson has not arranged as yet
for any legal counsel SO far as could
be learned today, and it is not known
whether or not he will plead guilty.
Coroner Robert Mclean stated to-
day that no formal inquest would be
held.
Two brothers of Joe Throndson.
Andrew and Herman Throndson ar
