STATE PUBLIC BOARD EXPIAIN (Continued from Page One) mer a comparatively easy. matter, The: evidence before the.commission shows that a number of men return- ing from Red Lake Fglls and Plum- mer in a drunken condition driving automobiles, have been killed and in- jured, and people having: a lawful right to pass along the same. 2 “In order that the commission - might be advised of the exact condi- tions existing in Red Lake county, Thomas D. O'Brien ‘was -appointed commissioner, with authority to take his conclusions. = Pursuant thereto, testimony and report the same, with public hearings were held and & large volume of testimony taken, which is now hefore the commission, with the report and recommendations.of Mr. O’Brien thereon. Saloon Interests Revresented. “‘At the hearings the saloon inter- ests were represented by F. A. Grady, who, in entering "his apearance on the first day of the hearing, said: ‘I appear for those who are opposed to the petitions, and associated with me is Charles E. Boughton of Red Lake Falls.” Mr. Boughton is the county attorney of Red Lake county. The counties of Polk, Pennington . and . Marshal appeared by their county attorneys, and the city of Crookston by its city attorney. “The principal showing made by those-opposed to the granting of the prayer of the varfous petitions was that made by the county attorney of Red Lake county, and was to the ef- fect that the county as'a county, and Red Lake Falls and Plummer as mu- nicipalitigs therein,” were and are peaceful and law-abiding communi- ties, and there was ap offer made to have this statement corroborated by other public officials .of the county and of the two municipalities men-|j tioned. Mr. 0’Brien’s Findings, “The testimony reported by Mr. O’Brien and his findings thereon sus- tain the charges made and he recom- mends ‘that in any event,’ an order be made similar, to that made in Mar- tin and Pipestone counties. “On Aug!'6, 1918, after notice to all. interested . parties, a public hear- ing was had. hefore the.commission at St, Paul, at which G. A. Young- quist, county attorney of Polk county, appeared and urged that the sale of intoxicating liquors -in Red Lake county be prohibited. At the same time F. A. Grady appeared in opposi- tion thereto. The matter was argued at length, Mr. Grady, expressing his personal, but not his professional opinion, stated that the proper rem- edy.-would be to limit the hours with- in which sales might be made, to the hours between 8 a. m. and 6 p. m. but with-no other restrictions. Closing Is Only Remedy. “On'- the- most careful = consid- eration of the testimony, we have reached the conclusion”that owing to the-location of Red Laké county, sur- roundéd as it is for hundreds of miles in évery direction by dry territory, the only remedy that will correct the evil s that prescribed in the attached order, - . ““With the present harvest in prog- ress, to be followeq by the thresh- ing season, and with the great short- age of man power for the work to be done, it is though that the presence of such large stocks of intoxicating * liquors in Red Lake Falls and Plum- mer would be a menace, and hence the provision made in the order for the removal of the same within ten “days from Red Lake county to some other part of the country in which the sale of intoxicating liquors, is.au- thorized by law.” i Good for Bemidii. " The new “order ‘of the commission is a good thing for Bemidji and will be a blessing to the community and also the entire county of Beltrami. It has been the custom for certain in- dividuals here to use high powered cars in transporting booze from Plum- ~mer to this city and vicinity, and to points throughout the country in de- fiance of all law, gnd it is current talk and gossip. Several arrests have been made for such practice but the game continued, nevertheless, and ‘‘plants” of booze are familiar, RIBECOURT. ON ROAD TO NOYON. CAPTURED Paris, Aug. 16.—The town of Ribe- court, on the road leading to Noyon, and six and a quarter miles south- west of that town, has been captured by the French, according to the of- fiicial statement issued last night. " MAKING A TOMMY OF A CAD IS A FINE PROCESS (By United Press.) London, Aug. 15.—One man is as good as another and some are a jolly sight better. This is one of the first lessons taught to the young “nut” when he ‘comes under the eagle eye of the ser- geant major. The boy fresh from home—idolized by mother, spoiled by sisters, in fact brought up to regard himself as be- ing not of common clay—he goes into the army and learns for the first time that he is not ““the whole cheese.” At school he mixed only with his own special crowd; here in the army he rubs shoulders with every variety in the social scale. It does not help him one whit to explain to his sol- dier companions that he went to the finest schools in England. The only thing his comrades are interested in is the finished article; and if it isn’t a man, a man’s man, they’ll take prompt steps to effect the desired de- velopment. The consequence has been 'that some who were first are distinctly last, and the last first. . Ayear or so of this life will help the young “nut” to find his feef. He will discover his true worth by compari- son with other men, and thus the boy's grit is tried and tempered. He becomes a finished article and in his turn helps “educate” the newly recruited “nut.” \ BOOZE ORDER | ‘I Diamond Point yesterday. It was an all-day celebration and dinner and sitpper was served.

Baugham, president of the Dixle Agricultural company of Wash- ington. Sergeant Baugham joined the Lafayette escadrille in 1917 when he was eighteen years old and won the Military medal, the highest French honor to noncommissioned men, The {ncident that earned the ser- geant the medal was described in a let- ter he wrote recently. Paying tribute to the wonderful spirit of his French comrades, Sergeant Baugham sald: “We had been sent out to patrol back of the German lines and to at- tack anything enemy we saw. Hayving {ncendiary balls in my gun, I was pre- pared to attack a German ‘sausage’ or observatory balloon. Just as I was beginning the descent to attack, I saw a Boche airplane going in the direction of our lines to do photographic work. I put on full speed and signaled to the ‘other planes to follow. They evident- 1y did not see my signal, for they didn’t go down with me. When I got 100 meters from the Boche I started firing. The enemy replied by turning loose both guns at me. I must have got him, however, with the first blast, for when I pulled up to make another dive he was silent. “Then something happened that would make the goodest man on earth cuss, and as I am not one of the best, you can imagine that I left little un- said. My - motor stopped absolutely dead. There was only one thing for me to do and that was to dive, lose the Boche and try to volplane to the French lines. As I went past the Ger- man machine it immediately came down and, putting some nice steel very close to him, I did all the acrobacy I had ever learned. When I had finished I found that I had come down from 10,000 to 1,000 feet and there was no Boche in sight. Alone in No Man’s Land. “] then looked around for a place to land. I saw a fairly good place off to the right and made it. I then stepped out of the machine—right on the face of a dead German: It took me a min- “ute to realize what was happening and I awoke to the sound of bullets whiz- zing past'my head. That didn’t disturb me much, beeause I was wondering why somebody hadn’t buried the Ger- man. Looking around, however, all 1 could sge was dead Germans. It sud- 1 "ron, has been; reported .

The kidneys filter this acid from the blood and pass it on to the bladder, where it often re- mains to irritate and inflame, causing' a burning, scalding sensatiom, -or setting up an irritation at the neck of the’bladder, obliging you to seek relief two or three times during the, night. The sufferer is in constant dread, the water passes sometimes? with a scalding sensation and is yery: profuse qgain, there is difficulty in} avoiding it. - Bladder weakness, most folks call it, because they can’t control urina-’ tion. While it is- extremely annoy- ing and sometimes very painful, this is really one of the most simple ail-: ments to overcome. Get about four ounces of Jad Salts from your phar- macist and take a’tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast, con- tinue this for two or three days. This will neutralize the acids in the urine so it no longer is a source of irrita- tion to the bladder and urinary or- gans which then act normally again. Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless, and is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and is used by thousands of folks who are subject to urinary disorders caused by uric acid irritation. Jad Salts is splendid for kidneys and causes no bad effects whatever. Here you have a pleasant, effer- vescent lithia-water drink, which quickly relieves bladder trouble.
