accountant to the old storekeeper.
The accountant sent the man a
bill for the cheese. The supposed

and never bought a cheese in his
life. The old man scratched his

back to the accountant he said, as

The need for disinfectants or fu-

the notices brought home from the
hygiene class by little Mollie Jones.
The list was compiled something
like this:
1-Standard solutions of washing,
cleaning and disinfecting closets,

ADVENTURE OF
THE TWINS
by OLIVE EOsERTS BARTON

Back came Nancy and Nick to the
Sour Old Woman's house under the
WATERFALL.
They had the sleepy sand with
them and all they had to do was to
get the Sand Man out of the Sour
Old Woman's cellar and start him
off to his home in Shut-Eye Town.
Nancy peeped in through the Sour
Old Woman's cellar window and
there lay the Sand Man still fast
{ asleep.
"St! ST." called Nick softly.
But it didn't do a bit of good for
the poor fellow was tired out.
So Nick took some little pebbles
and threw them and at that the Sand
Man sat up and stretched and
yawned and said sleepily, "Ho, hum!
Where am IY'
"Hush!" whispered Nancy. "You're
in the cellar of the Sour Old Wo-
mans house. See if you can get
up the stairs and slip out"
So the Sand Man peeped up
through the hole in the floor, and
seeing no one, slipped up the cellar
steps and was tip-toeing out through
the kitchen when the Sour Old
Woman popped out from behind the
stove and Eena Meena the Magician
stepped out of the cupboard.
II see we have company" said the
Sour Old Woman as pleasantly as
she could.
"Why, don't you remember!" said
the Sand Man in surprise. "You told
US to 60 to the cellar and then you
forgot and shut US in"
"Why so did," said the Sour Old
Woman. $50 did! My memory is
so short l can't count up to a dozen
any more. And your friends-where
are they?"
The poor Sand Man didn't know
what to say exactly. He didn't want
to say that the Twins had escaped,
for then the Sour Old Woman and
her friend, the Magician. would start
to hunt and they would be sure to
discover the Twins outside.
But Nancy and Nick had heard
every word and they knew there was
going to be some trouble.
"Quick, Nick" said Nancy. dump
all the magic sand out of the sack
into that hollow stump, and fill the
bag up with common sand"
So Nick dumped all of the Sand
Mans magic sleepy sand out Of the
sack and filled it up with common
sand that lay near the waterfall.
Then they went to the Sour Old
Woman's front door and knocked.
And just in time.
Because the Sand Man didn't know
what to say when the Sour Old
Woman asked him for the third
time where the Twins were.
"We had an errand to do so we
left" said Nancy. "You see it was
time for all the babies to have their
maps and someone just had to take
the sleepy sand around. The poor
Sand Man was all worn out with his
hay fever"
The Sour Old Woman made a wry
face. "Sleepy sand indeed!" said
she. "We'll soon fix that. Eena
Meena, say your charm.
So Eena Meena said:
"Slumber now you cannot make
Instead you'll keep folks wide.
awake"
And he waved his right hand over

my goodness! You can't do that,
gasped the poor Sand Man. "What
will the babies do?"
"They will have to do without

may go now"

MANDAN NEWS
SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA

There will be a meeting of all
those interested in the Mandan
symphony orchestra on Tuesday
evening Sept. 30 at 1880 at the Com
mercial club and good attendance
is urged. The effort made last spring
toward the organization Of the or
chestra was very satisfactory but
due to the lateness of the season it
was planned to start anew this fall.
There were close to thirty registered
at the spring meeting and several
musicians have moved to Mandan to
make their homes since and it is
expected that the orchestra will meet
with success right from the start.

White Fang. But the next moment
his footing would be lost and he
would be dragging around in the
whirl of one of White Fang's mad
gyrations. Cherokee identified him
self with his instinct. He knew that
he was doing the right thing by
holding on, and there came to him
certain blissful thrills Of satisfac-
ton. At such moments he even
closed his eyes and allowed his body
to be hurled hither and thither. willy
nilly. careless of any hurt that might
thereby come to it. That did not
count. The grip was the thing, and
the grip he kept.
White Fang ceased only when he
| had tired himself out. He could do
| nothing. and he could not understand.
Never, in all his fighting, had this
thing happened. The dogs he had
fought with did not fight that way.
With them it was snap and slash

he could feel the jaws shifting their
grip. slightly relaxing and coming

closer in to his, throat The bulldog s
method was to hold what he had. and

in for more. Opportunity favored
when White Fang remained quiet.
When White Fang struggled. Chero-
kee was content merely to hold on.
The bulging back of Cherokee's S

that White Fang's teeth could reach.
He got hold toward the base where
the neck comes out from the Shoul-
ders but he did not know the chew
ing method of fighting, nor were his
jaws adapted to it. He spaSmodically
ripped and tore with his fangs for
| a space. Then a change in their po-
Sition diverted him. The bulldog had
managed to roll him over on his
back, and, still hanging on to his
throat. was on top of him. Like a
cat, White Fang bowed his hind
quarters in. and. with the feet dig

of his neck and the thick fur that
covered it This served to form
large roll in Cherokee's mouth, the
FUR of which wellnigh detied his

chance offered, he was getting more
of the loose skin and fur in his
mouth. The result was that he was
slowly throttling White Fang. The
latter's breath was drawn with
greater and greater difficulty as the
moments went by.

battle were over The hackers of
Cherokee waxed jubilant and offered

The Value
Of Charcoal
Few People Know How Useful 1t is
in Preserving Health and Beauty
and Yet 1t is Not a DRUG


| Pure Willow Charcoal is the SAT-
est and most efficient disinfectant
and purifier in nature.

| better. 1t is not drug at all, but
| simply absorbs the injurious gases

! the stomach and intestineS and
carries them out of the system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath
after smoking or eating onions
and other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and
| improves the complexion, whitens
the teeth. disinfects the mouth and
| throat from the poison of catarrh,
and further acts as d natural and
eminently safe cathartic.
All druggists sell charcoal in
one form or another. but probably
the best and most for the money is
in Stuart's Absorbent LoZenges;

Willow Charcoal powdered to ex-
treme fineneSS, compressed in the
form of large, pleasant tasting
lozenges. sweetened to be smooth

Many physicians advise Stuart's
Absorbent Lozenges to patients
