i / PAGE FIGHT H. BRANDES, of Des Moines, Iowa, who de- clares ee. gained twenty pounds in thirty Mage afte: taking Tan- lac and now“eels like a differ- ent man. “Thirty days ago or a little more, I only weighed 125 pounds, but now I balance hte scales at 145 pounds and Tanlac did it,” declared W. H. Brandes, a well-known and ‘highly respected citizen of Des Moines, Ia. Mr. Brandes has been looking after the plumbing work of the Des Moines Public Schools for the past nineteen years. “And many of the teachers and scholars can tell you how different I look since I began taking Tanlac,” he said. “I suffered from indigestion of the worst kind for the past year or more and was often so weak and dizzy I couldn't stand up, let alone walk. Nothing helped me. I finally had to take my bed and stay there for several weeks. Finally a friend persuaded me to try Tanlac and I have never seen or heard of anything to equal it. It relieved me entirely of indigestion and put me right back on my feet. I have not only gained twenty pounds in weight, but I feel like a new man in every way. just think Tanlac is the finest thing ever sold in a drug store.” Tanlac is sold in Bismarck by Jos. Breslow, in Driscoll by N. D. .and Decline and Rise in Wheat and Flour The Northwestern Miller, in’ its weekly review ' of the flour trade. says: : After a week of rapidly declining wheat prices, cash wheat suddenly stiffened on Tuesday, Aug. 3, with an advance of 8@10c. The result was a distinct change in the tone of the flour market. During the period of rapid decline, buyers had shown prac- tically no interest, evidenly believing that the bottom had not been reached, but the revival on Tuesday brought a renewal of inquiry, indicating that buying on a large scale is to be ex- pected just as soon as wheat prices show any sign of stability. " Sensational Drop. The decline in cash wheat last week was sensational in its sharpness and extent. No. 2 northern, which on July 28 was selling in Minneapolis at $2.60 was quoted on Aug. 2 at $2.20, while the next day it had gone back to $2.30. Aug. 3 reports showed No. 2 hard winter quoted in the Kansas_ City market at $2.32@2.35, and in Chicago at $2.33, while No. 2 soft in Kansas City was $2.21@2.32, and in Chicago $2.29@2.30. The flour market followed the de- cline rapidly, although mills were naturally far apart in their quotations and the absence of actual business made most of the.prices merely nom- inal. Reports on Tuesday did not in- dicate any’ real reaction upward in sympathy with wheat, but showed simply a_ tendency to stabilize flour prices at or near the low levels reach- ed the preceding Saturday. All types of patents went down anywhere from $1 to $2 per bbl, while feeds like- wise showed a marked decline, bran averaging about $3 per ton lower than the week before. Quotations Mislead. Until wheat ‘prices are more stable, an average of flour quotations is bound to be somewhat misleading, on account of the wide spreads existing between the quotations of different mills. While flour stocks are cer- tainly not large, most of the bigger { buyers appear still able to hold off for a while if they have reason to_be- lieve that wheat is going lower. Once J. H. Barrette, in Wing by H. P. Homan. and in Strausburg by Straus- | nrices is reached, however, the trade | burg Drug Co. —advt. ‘something like a solid level for wheat has every reason to expect very heavy tioun-buying. . ——ee—————————————eeeEee——————————————— EVERY CITIZEN’S DUTY TO STAND BE- ver HIND FUSION TICKET, PACKARD SAYS| °°“ "22: dial | ; Ball Now on Five-yard Line and Must Be Carried Across the Goal Line in the Fall, He » Said.

DEPOSITS, ATTORNEY HOLDS ‘Can the state of North Dakota con- stitutionally guarantee the deypsits ot the ‘Bank of ‘North Dakota? This question has been propounded to some of the best legal minds,in the state. These attorneys reason that a de- posit is an obligation—a debt of the bank which, if a bank should fail to pay, would be come an obligation of the state. In brief, in law it amounts to a debt of the state and is in direct conflict with the constitution, they hold. The new constitution provides for a two million dollar unsecured debt limit—without security the state may not obligate itself to pay more than two millions of dollars. This limit was reached by the execution of the bonds for the capital of the Bank of North Dakota, and since a large part of these bonds have been placed as security for a loan from a Chicago in- stitution, there can be no question direct primary, a workable. intiative, | about the state’s obligation, they say. referendum and recall, soldier bonus. parallel to that of North Dakota and government ownership of railroads. It naturally follows that the state may not incur any further unsecured debt.

ROOSEVELT IS GIVEN WELCOME BISMARCK DAILY TRIBU: WILL USE NO RIVETS Ship of Future to Be Entirely Ing to Plans. Worked Out by Research Engineers. ws Philadelphia.—The ship of the fu- ture will be entirely electric welded and eléctrie powered, according to de- signs and plans worked out by re- Search engineers. No rivets, no angle irons, a saving in cost of construction and material, and greater safety and efficiency are among the claims of ito designers, For nearly two years research engt- neering experts have been working out a design for a 9,800-ton freighter, single-screw, with a speed of eleven knots per hour and a crulsing radius of 7,000 miles. In planning,a ship which could most successfully meet the exacting ;de- mands of post-war merchant ‘marine shipping it was deemed necessary to utilize the great economies ‘not only of electric welding but of electric propul- sion, electric-driven auxiliaries and electric-driven ship and deck machin- ery. The hull ts electric welded through- out, and therefore wholly without riv- ets in its construction. All plates are abutted without lapping straps or angles, and then are welded with a joint which the engineers claim will be 95 per cent or 100 per cent as strong as the steel members themselves. This eliminates all overlapping steel in plat- ing, angle irons or rivets. The saving of steel from this elimination on one ship, according to the designers, will be distributed as follows: Overlapping of plates at joints....203 tons Angle irons uniting structural parts if 160 tons Liners 29 tons \] Baxgt heads . 68 tons © Total yageeeesevensesees seeeeceeeees! 450 tons In order that electric welders may work with thé.greatest ease, speed, efficiency and reliability, most of the welding is to be doné on a flat horizon- BY HOME FOLKS (Continued from Page One) fication of the service, by the payment of adequate compensation and by the rigid elimination of those who fajl to measure up to a high standard.” Mr. Roosevelt said that “a greater America is our objective” .in conclud- ing Dis speech. “The coming years are laden with | significance,” he said, “and much will depend on the immediate decision of America.

Aug. 9.—Official an- nouncement that the ‘Nonpartisan league will take no part in the presi- dential campaign this year was made. in a pronuncilamento signed by A.C. Townley, H.'B. Wood and William Lemke, the “big three,” /or executive committee of the, league. They veto any agitation for a convention to line up with the “farmer-labor” party, and thus reject the overtures of the Com- mittee of 48 and others for co-opera-j tion in the campaign. The executive committee, they say, would have to call a national meeting before the league could take a hand in the prest- dential campaign, and “the time is not yet ripe” to break its precedent of noninterfeyence.
