Several public welfare movements that have been gitated in many of the states be came accomplished facts in North Da kota today; with the putting-into ef fect of the measures enacted at the last session of the -legislature. One of the most important is the new mar riage law which provides that a wo man, unless she be over 45 years old. and a man, except he marry a woman over that age, cannot be married if either be a common drunkard, a crim inal, an imbecile, an epileptic or in sane. The law requires that each appli cant for a marriage license shall sub mit a certificate from a physician certifying that the applicant is physi cally fit for marriage. A heavy pen alty is to be imposed upon clergymen or civil officers performing marriage ceremonies in violation of the law. The Skin and Not the Blood. Until recently it has been a generally accepted theory that eczema was a disease of the blood. Scientific in vestigations have taught us that eczema is positively a skin disease and curable through the skin alone. Mieritol Eczema Remedy is applied di rectly to the diseased skin, the effect is marvelous and its results perma nent. Do not delay . trying - Meritol Eczema Remedy.

All . of our truly ambitious students those who think more about the increased salaries their studies will qualify them to earn, than of the imaginary discomforts of summer study- devote a part of - each week to their studies all summer. A student who will only study in cold weather punishes himself. Why? Because' he takes two or three times as- long, in preparing him self to earn more money, as the student who studies from a half hour to an hour per day all the year round. We have enough letters on file to make several very large books, tha general purport of which is: "Oh, if I had only taken up that Course when I first wrote you about it! I have just missed a fine position, at largely increased wages, be cause I wasn't prepared to fill it I lacked just the special knowledge I could have had from the Course." The writers of these letters never have to be coaxed to study in summer NOW. They knew what delay costs. Why not profit by THEIR experience, instead of taking the same bitter medicine yourself? Persons that suffer most from the heat are those that have noth ing else to occupy their thoughts. A man who is interested in his studies doesn't know how hot it is. He has no time to fret about the weather. He is looking ahead a few months to the time when he can demand advancement in position and salary, because his special educa tion will have made his services of more value to his employer. It is no harder to read an Instruction Paper in summer than to read a news paper. How many summer days are hot enough to prevent you from reading the daily news? - The man who ' promises himself that he will enroll next fall is only trying to deceive his conscience. He may not know it, but he is weakening his will-power, and it is will-power power to do what one knows he must do to succeed that makes the man. A man of weak will one who will study some day, but not now will always be down in the world; always in "hard luck," frequently out of work,, and when employed, it will always be at low wages. He knows that .a knowledge of certain subjects will fit him to earn more; yet he stills his conscience by promising to start later. Such a man isn't truly am bitious. He is one of the kind that always does the hard, menial work, and draws small pay all his life. - Are YOU one of that kind. Are YOU truly ambitious to earn more and make something of yourself? If you wont study in summer you are NOT. If you prefer to fret about hot weather, rather than forget it by studying, you are NOT. The dangerous habit of "putting off" has ruined the lives of more promising young men than drunkenness. It is so easy to say "yes, it's what I need; I'll start tomorrow next week some other time." The difference between the man that makes a failure of life and the man that succeeds is simply this: The failure is- going to begin "tomor row;" the success begins today. ' The men who "get there'' are those that study for self-improve-. ment in summer, or whenever they have time. They don't let the weather keep them in inferior posiions, at small wages. They don't make excuses to themselves when they ought to be up- and doing. They don't work for wages barely enough to keep soul and body to gether either. k Which Kind of a Man Are You?

LONG AGO. Glrolamo Savonarola-was the John the Baptist of the reformation. He was a republican before the world knew any true republics. ' Savonarola preached in the end of the fifteenth century. At the very time Columbus was discovering a new world this Dominican monk was gaining his great hold on Florence. For eight years be was the bead of the priory of San Marco and virtual ruler of the city. Yet he never held a secular of fice and scarcely ever went outside of his pulpit to give his political message. He found Florence In the hands of the powerful Medici family. Lorenzo tha Magnificent was then at tha height of his power. The fearless preacher would have none of him, although Lorenzo made advances. Savonarola uttered hla denunciation of tyrants, and hla description of a tyrant left ne one in doubt aa to whom he meant At LorauBo'a death the Dominica, friar proved the only safety of the city during the French Invasion. Peo ple In a fury turned against the young er scion of the Medlds and drove him from Florence. Then Savonarola be came supreme. He announced to the people that Christ was the bead of the city and that they should seek no other ruler. He- broucht back the old re public. He wrote essays on govern ment that are good reading today. He drove out- corruption and caused the people to turn from their vanities. ' The whole city was swept by a religious re vival. The fearless preacher wae offer ed the red bat of a cardinal, but refus ed. He desired to be Independent, and his independence at last caneed his downfall. In the end be was tortured, hanged, and afterward hia body was burned and hla asbee scattered In the river, but hia influence was felt not only in Florence, but throughout Eu rope. Luther heard of him before be preaehed the reformation, and today the name of the fearleaa Italian preach er has become the synonym for those who combine the political and spiritual vision and In eloquent speech advocate reform and proclaim God's kingdom on earth. Yet In hie early days Bavonarela spoke to empty benches in Florence. Hie congreeaHeM dwindled te not more t'iBa twanty-flve bearers, and it was set until he bad gone forth lute ether parts of Italy and eatablishet a name that Florence would near him at all. Although Intensely Chrletian, tkia re ligious and political reformer was ne meek saint He prophesied the award, and the swortf name.

A CRAZY CURRENCY China Has a Monetary System That Borders on the Chaotic. UNIT OF VALUE IS THE TAEL Yet the Tael Is Neither a Coin Nor an Ingot, but Merely an Abstract Term, and Signifies a Unit of WeightSil ver Shoes and Cash on a String. . Of the many strange things in China not the least strange is ita currency. To the foreigner it seems a - miracle that any business can be transacted successfully with such a medium of exchange. It has been described as chaotic. Nevertheless business and trade flourish in China, which speaks volumes for the business acumen of the Chinese. Perhaps the fact that trade flourished In China long before such a thing as currency was known accounts for the fact that the Chinese, with sucb a lax system aa they now possess, still stand in the front rank of commercial nations. In China all forms of exchange from barter up are in use A very large part of tbe country's buaineea la dene against tbe actual delivery ef weighed silver. For convenience silver U melt ed into rough ingots having the nape of , tbe Chinese shoe. - These silver shoes have stamped upon them their fineness and weight The omit ef weight la tbe tael. which la equal to a quantity of silver weighing SSO grain troy and la worto about 00 cents in our money. ' . Tbe tael is not an ingot uer a coin, but simply an abstract terra signifying a unit of weight such ae a "pound ef butter or an "ounce" ef gold. Tneogh an abstract term; U te the measure of wealth and the unit of value through out the length and breadth ef China. A man buys a business for ae many taels of silver.' Hia profits are com puted In taels. When be makes pay ment he weighs out the silver accord ing to this unit't- The silver shoes vary in weight from one to seventy-five taels. All silver shops and banks have forges, where the silver is melted In Iron ladles and poured into molds. The ameltera with their ladlea and molds remind one ef cooks. They stir the silver with a pair of metal chopsticka. To one net aware of what they were doing it weald be natural to suppose that they wee en gaged In concocting aemethlng apod to eat In tbe process ef recasting th ingots their fineness la often changed, being either Improved er debased, whichever beat ault the intereaan of the ah Bankers and money oha.Bg era are able to determine th ajoallty of tbe allvar by the tense as tench. Tbe sellers r depositor are always at their mercy and must often scbas.lt to the operation of having their silver discounted en account of "had touch." In the interior of China amall pnr cbasea are made with copper oetns with square boles In tbe center. Thee are called "cash?, and are threaded on strings so that they : may be carried across one shoulder er on a pole. A string of 1.000 of thee cash I worth about 60 cents In our money. Some times bits nf silver are chipped from tbe silver shoes and used for amall purchases. When traveling In the In terior one must -take with him a large amount of silver shoes, exchanging them for strings of cash at the various shops. Tbe-money changers have two sets of scales, one to be used in tbe purchase of silver and the other in the selling of It In an attempt some years ago to In troduce a currency based on western models the Chinese government pur chased and put into circulation several million Mexican dollars. Tbe people took to tbe new coins and called for more. The provincial governments then set up mints and began to -coin Chinese dollars of approximately the same weight and fineness as tbe Mexi can dollars. They also coined anenor moiiR amount of subsidiary items in tbe shape of small silver coins and copper pennies. Soon it was discovered that the new currency was as unstable as "the old. The value of the dollar In relation to the subsidiary coinage vnrled from day to day. The cent was never worth the hundredth part of a dollar. Some days 110 cents were required to make up $1. and on other days it took 130 cents. Similarly the value of the .dollar as com pn red with the tael was continual ly fluctuating. Sometimes $100 would bring 70 taels and at other times only 65. It was sickening to the people, but very profitable to the money changers. Harper's Weekly. The Mozart Cycle.

There is no fixed height for any kind of cloud. Some remarkably interesting measures of the height of clouds have been made at Vienna by an ingenious method. Advantage was taken of the extremely brilliant light furnished for a great illuminated fountain erected in that city. By means of a projector it was found that a beam of light, could be. sent up to tbe clouds, producing upon them a luminous spot capable of being observed simultaneously from points on the earth two or three miles apart By such observations the height of certain clouds of the cirrus variety was found to be as much as 10,000 me ters, or nearly 33,000 feet New Telephone Directory Any changes or for at least five In the directory.
