MRS. H0FEDlFZ
SLEEPS fine AT
NIGHT SHE SAYS
Sioux Falls Woman States
Way Tanlac Restored Her
Beats Anything She Ever
Saw.

1.-THE way Tanlac has relieved my
troubles and built me up beats any
thing l eve saw" said Mrs. ANNA
Hefeditz, Sis North Phillips ST., Sioux
Falls. S. D., recently.
For years my stomach was so out
Of order everything I ate soured and
caused me- hours Of pain and distress
after every. meal. My appetite was
very poor, and 1 could hardly digest
anything. My liver was very sluggish,
often 1 was so dizzy I could hardly
stand on my feet, Inc I suffered from
constipation and a terrible headache
nearly all the time. 1 couldn't get any
restful sleep at night. and always had
that tired, weak. III down feeling. :.
i"But before l had finished my first
bottle Of Tanlac my appetite had COM
menced to pick Up, and now It is simp-
ly fine and I can eat and digest just
anything.I want. l sleep well and en-
Joy my rest every night, and always
feel good, for my health has been
built up wonderfully in every way.
My son Is now taking Tanlac with
good results, and we just think there's
nothing like it,"

INDIANS OBJECT TO
LONG TIME LOAN BILL
OF N. d. CONGRESSMAN

FIT. Yates, N. D., Feb. 15.-Resolu-
tons protesting against the bill which
Congressman Sinclair has introduced
in congress extending the time Of
payments Of homcsteaders or the
Standing Rock reservation, and also
the action taken by the state legis-
lature recommending that congress
pass some such bill, WAS unanimously
adopted at a meeting of the tribal
business committee of the Standing
Rock Indians.
There are two distinct views on the
question of extending the time of pay
ments On this land for the home
steader. The Indians feel that too
much attention has been paid the
white mans side, without considering
how much an extension would affect
the Indian. Just as,the white man
is hard pressed for money, so is the
Indian. The government, in selling
this land to the homesteaders at an
appraised value of from sev%enty-ive
cents to five dollars an acre, merely
acted as an agent for the Indians. The
land sold did not belong to the gov
eminent. but to the Indians.
In discussing this matter, the men,
bers of the committee stated that. at
an average price of two dollars and a
half an acre, the cost of a quarter
section would not be over s400. The
h~omesteader has five years to pay for
this at the rate of $50 a year The
committee was of the opinion that $50
a year for each quarter section was
not an impossible or exorbitant sum
for any bona fde homesteader to pay
each year.
AT this meeting much time was de-
voted to the discussion of the various
phases Of the Black Hills claim. Ben
White, who was a delegate to the last
Grow Greek council, gave a detailed
account Of that conference, followed
by an address in which he stated his
views on the matter.
Officers were elected for the ensu-
ing year. They are: Chairman,
Thomas Frosted; vice chairman, NJ
r. Tomahawk; secretaries. John Dis
tribute, Ben White and Francis Red
Tomahawk, who will serve m two
and three years, respectively. :,
Various, other matters Of interest to
the Indians on the reservation were
considered at this meeting.

BANK LOANS
ARE SECURED

With Double Amount
Out, He Maintains

Bismarck. N. D., Feb. 14-The loans
made by the Bank of North Dakota
are secured by collateral of approxi-
mately n and one-half and twice
the amount of the loans, F. w. Cathro,
director general of the bank. testified
tonight before the North Dakota sen
ate committee Investigating the audit
of the state industries. -
The loans are secured by the best
security of the borrowing banks, he
testified. while the deposits of the
Bank of North Dakota are guaranteed
under a state law, the double liability
of stockholders and the assets of the
bank.
Mr.. Cathro told the committee that
only sixteen per cent of the bills pay
able in the 80 suspended banks in the
state is owed to the bank of North
Dakota. He testified that this amount
ed to s224.250.72.- A total of s463,-
666.24 is deposited in these banks by
cent, he said, adding that the obliga-
tons of these banks to Twin Cities,
Fargo, Grand Forks and other banks
are five to six times as much as the
obligations Of these banks to the Bank
of North Dakota.
He cited a number of examples.
|, "~Proceedings Like a, TRAP
Es Regarding his recent appearance be-
fore the house investigating commit
tee, Mr.. Cathro said, the house pro-
ceedings have been like a trial, not an
investigation
Il was assured I would be given an
opportunity to explain my testimony
by the HOUSE, committee" he said,
but after they had questioned me,
they prevented my explaining the r
conditions and ordered part of the
statement of explanation expunged
from the records. 1 wanted to clear
up the impressions left but was pre-
vented from doing so.
esprit OF Destruction
mo bank could withstand the pitt
less. publicity hat the house COM
mittee has given the Bank OF North
Dakota. 1t has been conducted in a
spirit of destruction rather than on
struction. The Bank of North Dakota
always has played squarely n lived
up to the law"
Mr.. Cathro was questioned regard
ing the charge of J. w. Brinton, FORM
erly private secretary to A. c. Town
ley, president of the Nonpartisan
League, that there was an agreement
whereby the Bank of North Dakota
was to supply funds to the Scandina-
vian-American Bank OF Fargo to be
loaned to league. Cathro said he re-
jected the security offered and that
it was not Brinton who. had, done so,
as Brinton claimed. ,c .t- 70 -;a f"

Prisoner Took French Leave.

Edward Gillant, serving sentence OF
eight months in the county jail for
breaking and entering, got away from
that institution about II O'Clock Sunday.
he was in one of the corridors of the
building in charge of the janitor, Vern
Walton. While the latter was tempora.
rily out of his sight, Gallant skipped"
going up over the hill back of the county
buildings, and into the woods which are
not far distant.
His absence was quickly discovered,
giving him only few minutes start. A
posse were ont searching for him in
short time, and kept up the hunt through
the day and into the night. He was
easily followed for some distance by
tracks in the snow. Two Of James 8.
Records boys were found at little
camp in the woods on the back side OF
the ridge, who had seen the man and
talked with him. he was traced north
ward across the road leading up to Elm
Hill and TO the next cross road, and
thence to the Grand Trunk Railway
track near the gravel pit, about two
miles north of South Paris. BE was seen
in this vicinity by Arthur Tyler. The
ground being bare on the railroad, there
was no chance to track him farther.
Towns on the railroad were notified, but
up to the time of going to press he had
not been found.
Gillant was sentenced in October last
to eight months for breaking and enter
ing ut Bethel, and had about three
months and half more to serve. He is
supposed to have been the same one who
broke into the house Of Miss Efie Swan
and other places In Paris last fall. he is
about twenty-five years OF age, short,
