SUBSCRIPTION---$5.00 PER ANNUM There is much that is true in the following from the Mandan Pioneer: “A newspaper may boom a town through its editorial columns, but a critical investor looks at the adver- tising columns for substantial evi- dence of push and life. To him they are the thermometers measuring the intensity of public warmth. They are the pulse which indicates the healthy condition of the collective body of the people. They tell him whether the community is up to the times in business matters.” e —— OBSERVATIONS. [By “Doc"] If you feel asif you were losing your grip you probably have got it.

If you are a steady smoker don't throw away your old tobacco bags. By saving them until he had a trunk- ful a resident of Sixty-second street got busy with a needle and made .one of the oddest rugs one would find in a day’s walk. Of course this economical genius is an incessant smoker. Often he smoked two bags of tobacco in a day. Then, too, he changed his brand often and in this way got a more high- ly colored assortment. He told his friends about the rug he had in mind, and they got busy collecting. As a re- gult Mr. Smoker got a big crop each week. In less than six months he had gathered 108 square feet of tobacco | bags, which was a nice 9 by 12 rug. He used a plece of thick flannel as a foundation and sewed the bags to it each night on returning from work. On several occasions some of the fel- lows from the office helped him do the “sewing.” It was Interesting work. For some unknown reason many of the helpers sewed the bags on back- ‘ward, but all were finally straightened vut, and when the rug was finally laid there was a little celebration in the genius’ room. Now as he looks at the rug In silence he prides himself upon hls economy. And yet the refresh- ments that he supplied to keep the workers in good humor and on the night of the “rug laying” cost him $24.50.—Philadelphia Record. The First Tezcups. Even after tea wus introduced into Hurope and had come into general use teacups were scarce. At the samé time coffee was introduced; but, apart from Constantinople, the first coffee cups in Europe date back only as far as 1645 in Venice, 1659 in Paris, 1652 in Lon- don and 1694 in Leipsic. " From the first, however, the conventional orien- tal coffee cup, without stem or handle, ‘was little used, and In Germany not at all. The Chinese teacup was used for tea, coffee and chocolate as well. Speci- mens of porcelain were undoubtedly Introduced into Europe in the middle ages, yet not till the sixteenth century ‘were cnps Imported from China in any great quantities, and even then it was as articles of vertu. Most of those found their way back into China again, as collecting porcelain is a lasting fad there, and high prices are paid for | good specimens. The collection of Chinese porcelain, if only the genuine specimens are desired, requires im- mense study and knowledge, as the Chinese are skillful imitators and put numerovs falsifications on the market.

Said she to his excellency: | ‘““Are you acquainted with any of the Birches?” “Ob, yes!" replied Lord Lytton. “I knew several of them most intimately while at Eton—indeed, more intimate- ly than I cared to.” “My lord,” replied the lady, “you forget the RBirches are relatives of mine.” “And they cut me,” said the viceroy, “but,” and he smiled his wonted smile, | “I have never felt more inclined to kiss the rod than I do now.” Sad to say. Mrs. Birch did not see the point and told her husband his ex- cellency had insulted her. A Dumas Story.

Certain period- icals interested in patent medicine reform have declared that the formulas of many patent medi- cines will have to be changed before the manu- facturers will dare conform with this law. These periodicals also declare that the public will never know of these changes, and never know what these reémedies _formerly contained. This suspicion, however, cannot rest upon Rex- all Remedies. You have absolute proof that Rexall Remedies have 7ot been changed to con- form with the new Pure Food Law, éecause you knew the formulas of theseremedizs four years ago! The Rexall formulas were never secret. The thousand Rexall druggists have always known all the Rexall formulas and given them to every cus- tomer who asked for them. ) No one Rexall Remedy was ever claimed to be a “curc-all"—each of the 300 remedies is de- signed to cure a certain human ill—and does 72 These 300 remedies were selected from among thousands because they were the most reliable and successful cures in the world. Far from wishing to conceal the formulas of these remedies, we are proud to tell just what they are, and al- ways have been. That's where the Rexall plan goes further to safeguard you than does the Pure Food Law. Even now youll only know the dangerous drugs in other patent medicines, while you have always been able to know the complete formulas of Rex- all Remedies! ‘ The Rexall guarantce has been the greatest evidence of the sincerity back of the Rexall Rem- edies. For four years Rexall druggists have offered to return the money to any one who brought back an empty Rexall bottle or package and said they were not satisfied. We, as one of the Rexall druggists, feel a gen- uine satisfaction in having been able to supply this community for four years with oze line of medicines which the United States Govern- ment by its new Pure Food Law shows were always made vight and sold right, and have de- served every bit of the faith you have had in them. The Pure Food Law may necessitate changes in other medicines, but it only endorses Rexall Remedies.
