. PAGE SIX UST BE HANDED VOTERS (Special to The Pioneer) Minneapolis. Nov, 1.-~Judges of election must hand pink amendment pallots to the voters at the election November 5, according to an opinion just given to former Governor S. R. Van Sant, chairman of the Minnesota Dry Foderation, by Attorney General Clifford L. Hilton. “Phis will aid us materially,” said Mr. Van Sant today. ‘‘There had peen some question in certain quar- ters as to the duty of judges of elec- tion in this respect, but the opinion of the attorney general clears it up. “However, we must not slacken our efforts to see that everybody votes on the prohibition amend- ment. We have a hard fight in Min- nesota, but we are doing all we can to induce every dry voter to go to the polls on November 5 and surely vote the pink ballot,” The opinion of Attorney General Hilton follows: “In response to your inquiry, I have to advise you that it has been, and is now, my official opinion that it is the duty of judges of election to pass out the pink ballot, which contains the constitutional amend- ment, to all voters. The voters are not required to ask for the pink ballot. “In order for the amendment to earry, it must receive a majority of all votes cast at the election. . A ma- - jority of all votes cast’on the amend- ment will not be sufficient to carry it unless it also be a majority of all votes cast at the election.’” _HOW ‘MOTHER’ BURDICK HALTED YANK ARMY (United Press Corrspondent.) With the American army in France, Oct. 3. (By Mail.)— “Mother” Burdick, tlie little Texas woman who invented “‘shrapnel cake’ and won the heart of every doughboy who flocked into the little Salvation Army hut for cake and doughnuts and pie, has 2 new stunt which de- lights the soldiers. It is the “all night chocolate ser- wice'. _ Recently a new division appeared in “Mother” Burdick’s area, or rather the first units of it appeared. They were going to the front, the first doughboys told her. She was bus- iness at once. Calling “Pa’ Burdick and her other assistants, ‘‘Mother” Burdick got pots of chocolate on the stove at once. It was then fairly late at night. Then “Mother” Burdick went out to find the general commanding the division. In the dark it was pretty hard to locate the general, but she finally cornered him. He was sur- prised. Being a newcomer in France with a new division, he had never neard of the Salvation*Army Women. “Mother’ Burdick told him in a few words, ending with, “We've al- PROCEEDINGS OF BEMIDJE BOARD OF EDUCATION.

Those boys should never go to the front without each one having a cup of hot chocolate. I want to stop them in companies just long enough to fill their cups as they go by the hut down the road.” 4 The new general was not used to being talked to that way, and it was hardly within campaign orders to stop men in companies for choco- late. But the general had brought his men a long way already that evening, and they had farther to go before morning. He knew how hot chocolate would brace the boys. So he gave the order for groups to stop one by one for rest at the Salva- tion Army hut, as they passed through. Then the general stopped himself for a cup of chocolate. 'They worked all night at *‘Mother” Bur- dick’s hut, and two other huts near- by assisted so that more than 15,000 cups of chocolate were given to the boys that night. . |STOWAWAY NOW WORKS FOR FORMER COMRADES By a Red Cross Worker (Written for-the United Press.) Paris, Oct. 1. (By Mail.)—It was a young army doctor I met at a “gocial evening” who said to me: “T wonder if you Red Cross people couldn’t do something for a chap we've got down at the Hotel Ste. Anne? He’s managed to get on the THE BEMIDJI1 D duced him, and the sight of him warmed my heart. For anything more pure Yankee than his lean, keen kindly face would be hard to imagine. “The Red Cross needs a man in one of its military hospitals,”. I said, “a man who will tend fires and do odd jobs of plumbing.” “That’s me,” he said. So now the stowaway has his heart’s desire—working with ‘“the boys” and wearing his uniform un-: molested, and, also, incidently, {’.‘uel— ing that he, too, is “doing his bit.” Y’ ORDERS 200 TONS OF GUM FOR SOLDIERS (By United Press.) Paris, Oct. 3. (By Mail.)—The vo- racious appetite of the American Ex- peditionary Force for sweetmeats is shown by the orders of the F. M. C. A., for candy, sugar and chocolate for October delivery. The ‘Red Tri- angle”’ people will distribute. about 6, 664,000 pounds of sweets to Ameri- can soldiers during the month, or 3,332 tons. Included in the order are 200 tons of jam, 200 tons of chocolate bars, 175 tons of boxed candy, and many tons of other forms of candy. HOW TO FIGHT SPANISH INFLUENZA By Dr, L. W. Bowers. Avoid crowds, coughs and cowards, soft side of all af us, but there isn’t a thing we can do for him. You see, he had been ten or ‘fifteen years in the regular army, and when the out- fit was booked to go to France, they decided he was too old, and that there was something the matter with his heart. So they gave him his dis- charge. He was all broken up about it, because ever since our declara- tion of war, it appears he had just been living to get to France with ‘the boys.” Well, he found out when they were going and how, and stowed away on the transport, hoping they would relent when -they got over here. For 10 months he has been hanging about without a cent of pay. He takes on so when they try to send him back, that I guess the officials are letting things drag along in the hope the old boy will kick off before they can get him transportation home. He just can’t do enough for the boys who come in. from the front. The fellows pass him a bit of change now and then, of course, he gets his meals free at the army canteen. He has no right to the uniform, but no one has the heart to take it off him. Besides, it wouldn’t do, for he hasn't anything else to wear. We can't give him work in our hospitals, because he isn’t in the army, but there are lots of things he could do, and he’s crazy for a job with the soldiers.” A day or two later I dropped in at the Hotel Ste. Anne, and asked for but fear neither germs nor Germans! Keep the system in good order, take plenty of exercise in the fresh air and practice cleanliness. Remember a clean mouth, a clean skin, and clean bowels are a protecting armour against disease. To keep the liver and bowels regular and to carry away the poisons within, it is best to’take a vegetable pill every other day, made up of May-apple, aloes, jalap, and sugar-coated, to be had at most drug stores, known as Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets. If there is a sud- den onset of what appears like a hard cold, one should go to bed, wrap warm, take a hot mustard foot-bath and. drink copiously of hot lemonade. If pain develops in head or back, ask the druggist for Anuric (anti-uric) tablets. These will flush the bladder and kidneys and carry off poisonous germs. To control the pains and aches take one Anuric tablet every two hours, with frequent drinks of lemonade. The pneumonia appears in a most treacherous way, when the influenza victim is apparently recov- ering an anxious to leave his bed. In recovering from a bad attack of influenza or pneumonia the system should be built up with a good herbal tonie, such as Dr. Pierce’s Golden iMedical Discovery, made without al- cohol from the roots and barks of iAmefican forest trees, or his Irontic (iron tomic) tablets, which can be obtained at most drug stores, or send the man who had stowed away on the transport. - Presently they pro- 10c to Dr. Pierce’s Invalids’ Hotel, Buffalo, N.
