FEURIE e Sy ity FLa S e~ e PAGE FOUR By FRANK FOX, Author of “The British War.” (Written for the United States.) London, Sept. 16.—Amid the meas- ureless waste and loss caused by the war it is of interest and of comfort to note the discussion in all quarters of the world on methods of economy and of higher efficiency in industry. The industrial life of any one of the civilized nations will provide a score of instances where wise and fruitful economies have sprung out of war searcity. Every city used to waste the major part of its used paper. i Nowadays spoiled paper is almost universally collected and utilized again. . Old newspapers and torn wrapping papers are collected for the mills, whence they reappear as cart- ridge paper. In the happy coming times of peace they will reappear as packing paper, and the forests of the . world will be spared part of the old tax on them by the economy which the war has taught us. In the United States, a country of} such great natural wealth that lav- ishness is almost inevitable, there is a movement afoot to utilize the im-- mense heaps of ‘“‘slack” coal. It is pointed out that countries poorer in coal make this slack into fuel bri- quettes. The United States is learn- ing now to do likewise. ‘ The utilization of rice-waste, of old tins, of old leather, of flax-waste, are instances in point. In another direc- tion the world is winning great ad- vantaged from the superior organiza- tion and concentration of industrial undertakings. A current proposal in Great Britain is far an effective re- _organization of the business of elec- tric supply, by which, it is estimated, millions of tons of coal can be saved annually. The proposal i§ a direct outcome of research in the problems of production due to the war. There are many similar ones. Humanity is going to benefit one day from some or all of them. But on the whale we have derived no greater economic benefit from the re-examination of our industrial life induced by the war, than that which has come from the better understanding of the land question. In a spirit of wild waste, which is only now coming to be un- derstood and deplored, the older coun- tries were’ gradually allowing their lands to pass out of cultivation, trust- ing to make up their food supplies from the exploitation of virgin lands. Before the war the effect of this was becoming felt by the general ad- vances of bond prices, especially of meat. Now, as a consequence of the war, the land is beginning to be more wisely regarded. Even in the United States a comparatively new counfry, the land has begun to pass out of cultivation; but it is now knowing the plow again because of war needs. ‘Wihile war continues the benefit of this movement towards economy and re-organization are being consumed in the furnace of the world-wide cam- paign. They have to go into the bal- ance against German destructiveness. But when peace comes these benefits will continue to operate, and they will be the meaus of & higher stand-| ard of human comfort than was ever before realized. TOWNLEY 1S MAKING APPEAL, FUNDS LOV: CAMPAIGN IS COMING Minneapolis, Sept. 16.—A. C. Townley is beginning to discount the future in an attempt to raise funds to keep lis expensive organization going in Minnesota through the cam- paign of 1918. An appeal has gone out to Minnesota members of the league through the Minnesota Lead- er, the official organ, asking them to Army at send in their $16 now to cover mem- berships for the two year period be- ginning next January. Though paid up three and a half months ahead, members are asked to pay an- otaer membership fee now. The money evidently is wanted to use in the fall campaign. The memberships to b paid for now are to run through 1920, and the leaguye heads do not say how they expect to finance a 1920 campaign. ‘ Costs $16 to Get $16. Stories have been current that the league treasury is low, in spite of Townley's enormous revenue. This is practically admitted in the lea- gue's appeal to its members. “After the cost of publishing the Nonpartisan Leader and the Minne- sota Leader is taken out,” the Min- nesota Leader says, ‘“and after the percentage of post dated checks that members are unable to pay, is de- ducted, if we still have to. pay the salary and expense of organizers to do the reorganization work, hardly any money is left for campaign ex- penses. In some places it takes more than $16 to pay the actual cost of securing members. The more mem- bers there are who will voluntarily reorganize, the more money will be saved for campaign purposes. 50.000 Members: $16 Each. “If the organizers have the back- ing of the 50,000 Minnesota farmers who are already members, they will succeed,” says the appeal made through the Leader. At $16 each, the 50,000 members must have paid $800,000 into the the league treasury in two years, The appeal does not attempt to ex- plain where this unprecedented cam- paign fund has gone, or how it has been spent.

AMERICAN HOSPITAL AMAZES FORMER FRENCH WAR NURSE (Continued from Page One) after first treatments, and during their '« convalescence. Everywhere there was an air of contentment, and aven the worst patient seemed to feel at home. Men of all nationalities were enjoying themselves at the hos- pital. She saw them eating, and not- ed the quantity and the quality of the food. She did not wonder they ate it with relish, she said. The instruments used by doctors and nurses were a source of amaze- ment for “Madame.” ‘It makes everythiig certain,” she declared, “We did not have such instruments and had to guess. You cannot make a mistake, can you? Your wounded are certain to get well.” Wonderful Food. “Madame,” though the hospital food was remarkable, and asked some Trench patients how they liked it. “They say tbey want to stay in an American hospital all the time,” she stated, “They have not had such food since the war started as they are eat- ing here. Look, they all getting fat on it."” The fact that all the American nurses had completed long training courses to prepare for ‘their work was amazing to “Madame.” Her as- sistants had no training. ‘‘Your nurses are ready for the war. They know all abont medical work. Then you will not lose the men that France has lost, for we were not ready for the war. 4 “It is marvelous to have nothing to worry-about. And it is doubly amaz- ing to us French people, when:you come thousands of miles. and do things so well and so carefully about it. It makes us happy too, you see. We have much to learn from your young American ways.” % Just as coal, when-it burns, leaves behind a certain amount of incom- bustible material in the form'of ashes. so the.food and drink taken day after day leaves in the alimentary canal a certain amount of indigestible ma- terial, which it not completely elim- inated from the system each day, be- comes food for the millions of bac- teria which infest the bowels. From this mass of left-over waste, toxins and ptoimain-like poisons are formed and sucked into the blood. Men and women who can’t get feel- ing right must begin to take inside baths, Before eatng breakfast each morning drink a glass of real hot water with a teaspoonful of lime. stone phosphate in it to wash out of the thirty feet of bowels the previous day’s accumulation of poisons and toxins and to keep the entire alimen- tary canal clean, pure and fresh. Those who are subject to sick head- ache, colds, biliousness, comstipation, others who wake up with bad taste, foul breathe, backache, rheumatic stiffness, or have a sour, gassy stom- ach after meals, are urged to get a quarter pound of limestone phosphate from the drug store, and begin prac- ticing’internal sanitation. This will cost very little, but is sufficient to make anyone an enthusiast on the subject. Remember inside bathing is more important than outside bathing, be- cause the skin pores do not absorb impurities into . the blood, causing poor health, while the bowel pores do. Just as soap and hot water cleanses, sweetens and freshens the skin, -0 hot water and limestone phosphate act on the stomach, liver, Sigvid The State of Minnesota to the above kidneys and bowels. i — —_— STATE OF MINNESOTA, COUNTY OF Beltrami. ss. District Court, Fif- teenth Judicial District. Blas Skarsberg, Plaintiff, - vs. Defendant. JUDGE HALLAM REPORTS PLEASED WITH TOUR (Special to Plonéer.) St. Paul, Sept. 16.—Rain and cold weatlier does not prevent loyal Min- nesotans from attending meetings of the America First Association im Northern Minnesota. Justice Oscar Hallam of the Min- nesota Supreme court, and Dr. Fritz Osten-Sacken, both of whom have been speaking for the association in northern counties in Minnegota dur- ing the past week report large crowds despite inclement weather. In a telegram to Robert W. Harda- dine, St. Paul, secretary of the asso- ciation, Justice Hallam said that en- thusiastic meetings were held at Kel- liher, Black Duck, Bemidji. Cass Lake and Walker. “These communities are thoroughly loyal,” he said, “and are aroused to thie utmost. ~ All predict that the Fourth Liberty Loan will be well taken cere of. The demands of these loans as we!l as the Red Cross have heen over sub bed.” Dr. Osten-Sacken wiring from Park Rapids said that meetings in Wadena and Hubbard counties were ‘‘wonder- ful demonstrations of loyalty and en- thusiasm. Farmers came from a dis- tance of twenty miles despite rain and cold. Meetings were held twice a day in school houses and halls, and these two counties are among the most loyal in the state.” Rl e L U, PRO-GERMAN MICE NO DOUBT (By United Press.) London, Aug, 19.—(By Mail.)— The war has proven yei another sim- ilarity between mice and men. The mouse who fully realizes his responsibilities toward his family will build his home where plenty of food is available. Hundreds of mice decided that hotels made the most comfort- able quarters. Then Sir Alfred Mond commandeer- ed nearly all the best hotels for gov- ernment purposes—so Mr. and Mrs. Mouse are feeling the pinch of war, However, like real Britains they have decided that if they can’t get what they want they must take what they can get. So, to the concern of the staff, they have taken to nib- bling the ledgers. In one of the government depart- ments they have so mutilated the fig- ures that it is doubtful whether we'll ever really know how much the war has cost us! : Skarsberg, named defendants: You are hereby summoned and re- quired to answer the complaint of the plaintiff in_the: above: entitled . action which complaint has been filed in the of- fice of the Clerk of said District Court at the City of Bemidji, Beltrami County apd State of Minnesota, and to serve a copy of your answer to the sald com- plaint on the subscriber at his office in the City of Bemidjl in the County of Beltrami, within thirty days aftér serv- jce; and if.you fail’ to answer the said |- pomplaint within the time aforesald thes blaintiff inthis action will Applyi to the | Sourt for”the relief demanded 'fn sald complaint together with. plaintiffis costs and disbursements herein. £ Dated this 9th day of September, 1918, CHARLES W.
