HERE LIES A MAN. Teach me that sixty minutes make

one hour, sixteen ounces one pound, and one hundred cents one dollar.

Help me to live so that I can lie down at night with a clear conscience without a gun under my pillow, and un-haunted by the faces of those to whom I have brought pain.

Grant, I beseech Thee, that I may earn my meal ticket on the square, and in the doing thereof I may not stick the gaff where it does not belong.

Deafen me to the jingle of tainted money and the rustle of unholy skirts. Blind me to the faults of the other fellow, but reveal to me my own.

Guide me so that each night when I look across the dinner table at my wife, who has been a blessing to me, I will have nothing to conceal.

Keep me young enough to laugh with niy children and to lose myself in their play.

And when comes the smell of flowers, and the tread of soft steps, and the crushing of the hearse's wheels in the gravel out in front of my place, make the ceremony short and the epitaph simple, "Here Lies A Man."

THE HIG WAR IN A NUTSHELL. The Allies' left is trying to move

around the Germans' right, but the Germans' right is also moving around the Allies' left. Now, if the left of the Germans' right moves around the right of the Allies' left, then what is left of the Germans' right must be right where the Allies left. But if the Germans' right left is left where the Allies' right was right before the Allies left, the left is left right where the right was right before the left's right left the right's left. Isn't that right? Or is it?

MINOT, N. D.

The Courier-News printed a big story about six Fargo maidens who swam the Red river and the reporter said they then sought a shady alcove to put on civilization again. Scores

of Minot young women have been swimming in the Mouse river this season and although some of them wear the latest fangled bathing suits, hardly any mention has been made of the fact.

Down in Fargo when a couple marries, the papers declare it's the culmination of a romance.

Mrs. Weinstein had just returned from the hospital where she underwent a very serious operation. A friend asked Mr. Weinstein if it had been expensive.

"Oxpensive?" said he, "Why, mine-frient, if der doctor had sent my wife home 'C. O. D.' I would haf had to send her back again."

FOSTER ADVISES FARMERS TO HOLD THEIR GRAIN.

Foster, the weather forecaster, advises farmers who can to hold on to their grain. In his last bulletin he says:

"Again we warn farmers that this is not the time to sell grain and cotton. Many will be compelled to sell but those who can hold should do so. All of Europe and many of our big speculators are getting grain and cotton at comparatively low prcies. The combinations for,those purposes never were so large and powerful. Drought will damage late cotton. Better hold it.

"We particularly advise all our American grain dealers to buy and hold all the grain they can. Europe must have grain and they will soon pay good prices. Cotton occupies the same position as grain. Europe must have both and will get them.

"There are no indications of an early closing of the European war. Americans should be absolutely neutral. We want our farmers and mechanics to sell their products to all the nations of Europe and therefore we should be scrupulously fair with all interests over there. It is not our fight. We have no right to meddle with their business. But we want to feed and clothe them and sell to them whatever they can pay for and transport for their own use. But do not sell farm products, particularly grain, at this time."

Responsibility for Accidents. Marmarth Mail: The Mail has

watched with interest the progress of a case involving responsibility for a road accident into which a rather new element has been officially introduced. In a western North Dakota county, when the roads were slippery after a rain, an auto skidded into the ditch, where it overturned, killing its two occupants, a local farmer and his hired man. There was no deep hole, broken culvert, or other obstruction of that character, but at the inquest it was stated that the road was in dangerous condition by reason of its having been made so high and so narrow'that careful driving was necessary to pass in safety even when the earth was dry. The coroner adjourned the inquest in order that he might make a personal inspection of the road at that spot, the presumption being that the findings would be influenced by what he found. There is thus introduced the principle, for the first time in this state, it is be-

Were You Cheated into believing that because a baking powder foamed up over the top of a glass when water was added, that it was a good, pure and strong baking powder?

It foams because it contains ALBUMEN (sometimes called the white of egg.)

ALBUMEN In baking powder is no help in the baking.

It does not make a stronger or better baking powder.

It deceives the consumer when she sees if loam in the glass.

State after state has ruled that baking powder mixed with ALBUMEN is illegal and has stopped the sale of the stuff\

United States Government authorities have declared that the water glass test is a fraud, and that albumen does not help the baking,

Food commissioners North, South, East and West have denounced the albumen fraud.

The manufacturers of K C BAKING Powder have never found it necessary to resort to such fraudulent methods.

K C BAKING POWDER Contains No Albumen

It is a pure food baking powder, sold at an honest price and no better can be bought at any price.
