Do You Sleep Well?

To be at his best a man must have
sound, refreshing sleep. When wake
ful and restless at night he is in no
condition for work or business during
the day. Wakefulness is often caus-
ed by indigestion and constipation, and
is quickly relieved by Chamberlain's
Tablets. Try a dose of these tablets
and see how much better you feel with
a clear head and good digestion.

FIRST WAR ORPHAN

Collection receipts received Christ
mas eve, and New Years Day, have
raised the French War Orphan Fund
for the Fatherless Children of France,
Inc, to the sum of $42.34, or more
than enough for the adoption of Val
ley City's first little child.
He is number No. 52546, and his
name is Francois Ranlan.. H e lives
with his mother at Rue du Bey, in
Blida Algerie. Thirty-six dollars and
fifty cents keeps this little boy under
his mothers love and guidance for a
whole year. The remaining 1884, will
go towards Valley City's second
adopted child. Everyone is entitled to
write to Francois, his letters will be
most appreciative and he will tell
much that will be of interest to boys
and girls, as we'll as grown folks,
alike. Some letters will be published,
that all may enjoy them.

WANT "HAPPY BINDINGS"

Why the unhappy ending is the
stock weakness of the beginner at
story writing is easy to explain. Stor-
les with unhappy endings are easier
to write The human mind is natural
ly subjective and sad: vocuplarles IN
every language have many more ad-
jectives, verbs and adverbs to express
sorrow and gloom than to express
happiness and light-heartedness.
This subject lends itself nicely to a
debate, but as far as the men IN the
war hospitals are concerned the argu-
ment has only one side: "Give us
happy endings!
A Red Cross nurse tells of serial
story that had been read by two OF
her patients, one Of whom was de-
pressed for whole day because the
heroine died.
Il wish I'd never read it," he com
planned. II fell in love with that girl:
If ever found one exactly like her Ia
certainly ask her to marry mel"
One very sick man in a Canadian
hospital had started an adventure SER
ial on the ship that brought nm TO
America. The story was such lur!d
affair that it actually increased ms
fever. He died the morning tie next
installnen was received.
Books with happy endings, books
that will entertain and help pass away
the weary weeks of convalescence, are
needed at once for our wounded men
in hospitals. Send your gifts to your
public library. They will get to the
soldiers without delay.

ROCK HELP SURGEONS

1T was in hospital ward in the
Neuiily Hospital that a man told me
that he passed around his wife's letter
to the other men in the ward until it
was illegible from handling Their long
ing for something to read he said, ~
ing there listless and idle, made him
feel selfish in keeping it's CHEEKY, in

It was an American girl who had
gone over to be nurses aid in a hos
pital in France, who spoke. During 6
long, irksome convalescent to keep (
mans mind occupied she had learnt
was a pretty difficult task. In this she
said she found books were the biggest
sort of help. "Men SO Respondent and
depressed by their condition that they
refused to cooperate with the d2ca
tors and nurses, would block their ON
progress again and again because
their interest in life was gone," she
explained. "Often the only way we
could arouse them would be through
finding out what job or occupation
they were in before they enlisted: 1t
nearly always proved to be the thing
they were most interested in. The
next step would be an interesting book
on it whatever it was--salesmanship
bee culture or electricity. And very
often pretty soon the patient would
be musing over instances of his work
and telling us about it or asking for
other things to read. And of course
this renewed interest never failed to
mean improvement in his condition.

irons of the bank. In the rear end is
the vault room which is one of the
most modern contrivances of present
day banking. The gates leading to
the vault lock automatically and only
the officials can get into the same.
When a gate is opened bell rings
giving warning all over the bank.
From the upper vault there is a spiral
stairway leading to the fire and bur
glar proof vault below. Then at the
rear of the bank main building comes
what is the most interesting and i'm
portant room Of ala rest room-for
the use Of the public in general,
equipped with toilet and lavatories for
men and ladies and easy chairs, etc.,
for them to rest at will. In this room
can be held directors meetings of the
bank Or any other outside corporation
who desire to use the same. 1t is
finely lighted and arranged and is
modern room that is to be free for
those who desire to use it for business
purposes OF for a rest room.
On the upper floor of the building
are some very fine Office rooms. In the
front end is suite of three rooms now
occupied by M. j. Englert, attorney.
He certainly has fine. we'll lighted
rooms, thoroughly modern in every
particular, and if his legal mind does
not work we'll under such favorable
conditions we do not know what could
move him to greater deeds in his study
Of law. Then next door we find the
Dakota Construction and Engineering
Company domiciled in q suite of fine
rooms and then adjoining this COM
pany is Eugene Mcfarland, architect.
There is another set of rooms back Of
these not yet rented. The entire
building is finished in oak with hard
wood floors, the halls being Of ter
raza the same as the main building be-
low, the stairway being of the same
material and all absolutely freproof.
! We do not want to forget the light
ing and heating system of this insti-
tuition, the credit for which is due our
local firm, the Valley City Heating
and Plumbing Company. The cleo
trical work and fixtures in this bank
are certainly fine, all being on two
| way switches and lights everywhere:
Each officers desk is equipped with
individual telephone connection as we'll
as light and every arran cement for
telephoning and lighting has been put
i in so that convenience is che Of the
main words Of completeness in this
institution. The heating plant is a
fine one and our local fr1'1 is entitled
to much credit for the splendid work
! done in this building. There are many
details we have omitted in this write
up but we have covered most of them.
When business institution in this
city puts up such a magnificent and
up-to-date modern structure it is
worth the space to tell Of it and we
can promise any who follow the same

with no small degree of pride that
this institution looks back into the

great share Of the credit for the sue
cess attained by this company.
In j. E. Jones Mr.. Lee has had a
most capable and efficient assistant.
He is one of the pleasantest of men,
unassumlng and business like and
has made for the institution many
warm friends. Mr.. Jones, like his
chief, is always on the job, early and
late, and is always to be got when he
is wanted and he is ever ready to
serve. With such bunch Of officials
the institution is bound to be success
full. Then we must give Elsie Schulze
and Miss Gracia Amundson, who are
associated with the Office force, much
credit for able work accomplished
When the chiefs were sick with the
"fu" these helpers kept the institu-
ton going in good shape, showing
their efficiency for the positions they
hold. The force as whole is a very
good one and well organized, working
together for the good of the institu-
ton in perfect harmony.
Something over a year ago the Of
ficers of the company decided that
they would build fine, modern bank
ing home for themselves and the ma
chinery for doing so was put in mo-
ton. First came the selection of a
location, and after looking around the
institution decided on a corner occu-
pied by the Myhro, Aldahl Mercantile
Co. A deal was made and the cor
ner passed into the hands of the Mid
dlewest Trust Company. Then came
the selecting of plans for the building.
This was a job that required much
thought and figuring but finally this
was done and the contract was let to

buke, she got at the polls at the pri-
maries Miss Rankin joined the non
partisan league and ran as candl-
date for United States senator and OF
course got properly trimmed up as she
should have been. This shows that 1t
was not the fact that Miss Rankin
was woman that she was beaten
but it was because of the attitude she
took at the time of a declaration OF
war. Nearly every senator and con-
gresham who took the same kind OF
a stand was defeated on the grounds
Of service and principle just the same

For long time the Masonic breth-
rem of this city have been considering
the building Of a temple in this city
suitable for their needs and at re-
cent meeting Of the Masons it was the
opinion that move in that direction
should be started and a committee was
appointed to look up locations and re-
port to the lodge. DR.. C. E. Spicer,
presiding officer Of the Masonic lodge
would like to have those who have
suitable lots to submit their PROPOSE
ton to him not later than January
10th at which time the matter will
again be taken up. The Masons GER
tainly need a home of their own and
if they decide to go ahead and build
the city can rest assured, that a fine
structure will be built. The loca-
tions needed must be not less than
5Ox14O nor more than 100x140 and
must be in a suitable location, not
necessarily right in the heart of the
city, but convenient to the main part
of the city. If any of our people have
lots they want to dispose Of that would
be suitable for this purpose they
should get busy at once and list them
with DR.. Spicer. It might be we'll to
state that inflated values will not be
considered. The lodge will want to
pay a fair and legitimate value for
whatever lots it buys, but it will not
and does not have to pay any excess
sive prices as is sometimes put on
real estate when public building
needs location.

- One lone woman has been elected to

the recent election. She will be a
mighty lonesome member among the
several hundred Of the male sex. Two
years ago we elected one woman to
the United States congress but she
failed to be reelected and now we
have none. This is not disparaging
the women folks at all. We really
think that in the very near future
many of them will be elected to the
congress because universal suffrage is
going to be reality in this country
before very long and naturally there
are many bright women who will be
candidates for office and who will be
elected. The reason our only woman
congressman was defeated was be-
cause she took the wrong stand when
