Somethanq To Think About.

y A recent issue of Our Dumb Animals,
published monthly at Boston, Mass,
by the Massachusetts, Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals,
contained two timely editorials, one Of
which, under the caption What Do
You Think of Them?", forcibly calls
attention to the terrible aftermath of
the World war, even in the United
States, whose soil remained untarnish-
ed by the blood of countless victims
of the demon Mars, while the other,
entitled "The Madness of It," seeks
to awaken realiza ton of the sinister
dangers lurking in the billions-of-
dollars-appropriations of Congress for
military purposes.
The first of the editorials referred
to reads as follows:
"These chickens that have come
home from the war to roost. There
they are on the perch at last, and a
sorry-looking flock they make. Law
lessness ruffles its feathers and stares
at you with careless effrontery. Theft
is there indolently at rest. Having
been used to helping himself so long
to what was not his, he wonders how
he ever stood it in the old days to work
for living. Uncleanness watches
out of an evil eye for some victim of
his lust. Idleness, habits of industry
broken to pieces, disdains to settle
down to toll. Highway robbery makes
no effort to conceal his ugly head, and
looks the part he plays with increasing
boldness. Murder, too, is there. His
bloody beak betrays him. Killing
has dulled all sensitiveness to the
sacredness of life These are some of
the brood war matches out and fosters
under its foul wings. What loath-
some, buzzard-like bird it is!''
...,. Our Dumb Animals.
And here is the other article anent
militarism:
Look at these amazing figures!
They are the United States appropria-
tions for 1920. A government sup
posed to have been managed not very
we'll since 1776, but at least not by
fools: l. Past Wars, 1885, ,482, ,586

ridiculous to be true; if you don't want
any more such idiocy to triumph; il
you would like little, just a very
little, slowing up of the Juggernaut
car of taxation, write your Senators
and Representative at Washington

and naval appropriation and to back

DISTILLED RYE WHlSKEY IN
MILK CAN; DRAWS 30 DAYS

Deputies Sheriff Vandenoever and
jacobson found very unique whiskey
still at the home Of Russian farmer
named Rodack, two miles west and a
mile north of Benedict Friday. The
man was not at home, but the officers
left word with his wife to notify the
husband to report at the sheriff's Of
flee. He reported the following day
where he was placed under arrest.
He pleaded guilty before Judge Mar-
ray, who sentenced him to serve 80
days in the county Jail, with fine Of
5000 and $25 costs, with 30 days adj
ditional sentence if fine and costs are
not paid.
The officers contiscated a very crude
and exceedingly filthy and ill-smelling
still which Rodack had constructed
out of a ten-gallon milk can, with a
small copper pipe leading from the top
of the can, coiling thru an old wooden
bucket. The officers found half
gallon Of alcohol which had been dis
titled out of rye. Rodack had dug, a
hole under his house where he distilled
his product.

Lucy Gates Appeared at High School
Auditorium

Lucy Gates, favorite American col
oratura soprano, made her second APP
pearance in Minot, at the high school
auditorium Friday night before an
audience of 1900, her concert being up
to the high standard this popular sing
err set during her former appearance.
Lucy Gates is general favorite.
Not only is she one of the worlds
most remarkable singers, but her style
before her audience is easy and she is
so delightful in announcing her var
ious selections. Her program was
varied. Her group of songs Of child
hood, such as Little Orphant Annie;"
her Indian and Russian music were
all given generous applause. After
the close of the last number on the
printed program, the friends were SO
prone to part with the singer that
they called her back and she gracious
Ky responded with her famous Swiss
echo song, considered by many the
finest number of the evening. Edith
Mcmillan Robinson, as Miss Gates
accompanist, came in for her share
of applause.
Lucy Gates is second only to CALI
Curci, and many like her singing in
some ways even better than that of
the great prima donna.

DRoPsY TREATED FREE
ny Dr. Miles, the Great specialist, who
Sends = 93.75 Trial Treatment Free.


At first no disease Is apparently more
harmless than dropsy; a little swelling
of the eyelids, hands, feet, ankles or alb
domen. Finally great shortness of
breath, cough, faint spells, sometimes
nausea and vomiting. and a lingering
and wretched death if the dropsy is
not cured.
DR.. Miles has been known as a lead
ing specialist in these diseases for 30
years. His liberal offer of a 1913 Treat
ment free to all sufferers Is certainly
worthy of serious consideration. You
may never have such an opportunity
again.
The Grand Dropsy Treatment consists
of -four dropsy remedies in one, also
Tonic Tablets and Pura-LaXa for remov-
ing the water. This treatment is spe-
cially prescribed for each patient and
is three times as successful as that
of most physicians 1t usually relieves
the first day. and removes swelling in
six days in most cases. Delay is dam
