Published POT AND KETTLE. Excellent is the motive which animates the periodical agi- tations anent the morals of the members of our fighting forces. There is a hardy tradition that soldiers and 'sailors are licen@- ious, and neither novelists, poets nor dramatists would have it otherwise. Since Virgil sang the sack of Troy the epic and t}me ro- mance have always depicted victorious soldiers as ravishers, leechers and libertines. War stories would lose half their pep and punch if these elegant characteristics were removed from the legonaries that people the pages. And more of us get our ideas from story-books than from compiled statis?ics. Statistics, however, have recently ghown that disease result- ing from immortality is not as prevalent in the army as among men in civil life. It will, therefore, be more logical to start worrying about the morals of the soldiers now that the armis- tice has been signed and the armies disband. The members will then be scattered among dissolute civilians like ourselves,; and will learn all our bad habits. Or they might—and quite justifiably—decline to associate with vicious reprobates like us until we promise to reform. Nothing is more necessary to the effectiveness of our forces than the maintenance of high moral standards, and: phe authorities, aided by the Y. M. C. A. and other stalwart institu- tions, are devoting ceasless vigilance to this essential. It is therefore incumbent upon those of us who are not with the colors to keep our house clean, and to avoid the scandal of standing disgraced by comparison with those whom we would presume to edify by ponifical attitudes and apostolic posturing. . ——O————— POLICIES MAKES US A BIT RESTIVE. (Fort Wayne, Ind., News.) The American people are pretty well agreed as to the vital necessity of pushing the war with all their power, but they are very far from being agreed on the Washington administra- tion’s socialistic program whereby the government takes charge of every business activity in the country and proceet}s tp regu- late to an amazing degree the home life of the individual. “Drawing the socialistic black cap over our heads as a “‘war measure” makes some of us a bit restive. -0 This will be the greatest Thanksgiving since the days of the Pilgrim Fathers. causes for thankfullness.

CIVILIAN RELIEF IS ASKING CO-OPERATION IN ITS NOBLE WORK To the citizens of Beltrami county: The Civilian Relief committee of the Beltrami county chapter, Ameri- can Red Cross, desires to call your attention to the fact that the families and relatives of the soldiers and sail~ ors will continue to need the same asstistance from our committee and the Red Cross as when the country was participating in the war. In the interval between now and the final discharge of the men from the service, which will be a period of many months, these families and rela- tives will need our assistance just as much as before. It is our duty and our pleasure to return to the scldie or the sailor his family or his reistives in good health and spirits and in order to do this we must put forth every effort to aid, care for and assist those left behind. The return of the soldier or sailor to his family and relatives will be one of the great events in the family life and we should see to it that nothing in the condition of the family may exist that will cause the soldier or sailor to regret having served his country. In order that the work of your Civilian Relief committee may be more effective in the accomplishment of this end, we ask the active and h.eqrty co-operation of every loyal citizen of this county. This assist- ance may be given by imparting in- formation as to the condition, the surroundings and necessities of the family or relatives of the soldier or sailor, You must remember that many of the relatives are not in- clined to make known their condition or wants and it is your duty to com- municate the information you may receive to our committee at the earliest possible moment. This is not a work of charity, it is a simple duty we owe to those that are left behind and should be performed without de- lay, notriety or ostentation. The period from now until the return of the soldier to the bosom of his family may seem to them a long one and we should endeavor to make it as pleas- ant as possible. The work of our com- mittee may be heavy, but with your assistance it can be better and more easily performed. With the election of officers of the Beltrami county chapter, Americnn] Red Cross, November 20th, will come a new committee and I ask for that committee the active assistance and support- of every citizen in the county.

" SOLDIERS-SAILORS INTERESTING LETTER. First Lieut. Roy Leibsle of Be- midji, commanding troops in the engineers, ninth = division, T. S. A, writes the editor of The Pioneer a letter which will - be of much interest to many in Bemidji, as Mr. Leibsle was a member of the architectural and engineering firm of, Geib & Leibsle, Bemidji, when both joined the military. In part the letter, dated November 13, says: “It was just a year ago tomorrow that I donned the kahki of the army, for on that day it was that I en- listed as a buck -private at Camp Dodge. During the year just closed I have had some hair-breadth escapes and now that the danger is all over I heave a sigh of relief to know, that 1 am no lenger in dapger of acci- dental discharge of revolyer, rifle or the ever threatening automobile ac- cident so horrible in war. (Note— Captain Geib, Leibsie’s business part- ner, wag a captain and shot himself in a leg during practice. While the leg was near soundness he was on the rear of a motorcycle and turned out for an ambulance on a slippery pavement. The motorcycle skidded and Captain Geib threw out a foot to save himself and companion from a nasty fall. It so happened, the in- jured leg was broken where he had shot himself. He is now command- ing negro engineers in France.) “During the hard fought battles of Camp Lee, Va.; Camp Humphreys, Va.; Camp Forrest, Ga.; Camp Sheri- dan, Ala.; Camp Mills, N. Y., and Camp Dodge, Iowa, the troops fought valiently and never once did I give ground to the attack of mosquitos, flies, Spanish influenza or pneumonia. “Two weeks ago a detachment of 84 officers and 86 enlisted men left Camp 8heridan, ordered to a port of embarkation and thence to schools in | France. The division was to follow several weeks later and we were to be prepared to carry on instructions there when the division came over. It seems, though, that those schools have been very efficient and that the pupils became proficient enough to instruct the former divisions on how to give the kaiser hell, because they did the job before we had a chance. Hence we are held here and will probably retrace our steps back to Alabama. “I was in fond hopes of getting over there and to see some of the trenches and dugouts. However, Cap- tain Geib is making a very careful study of all designs and after the war is over we hops to reopen our office and to show some of the very latest designs of dugouts, palaces de luxe, which ought to prove very popular as residences after the war. “Wilbur Lycan and myself have a hobby of running into each other at the most unusual places. ‘Last even- fng I was having dinner in a very quiet French restaurant and upon leaving heard someone call my name and upon turning around there stood Wilbur. If I had acted upon the im- pulse of the people around us I would have cried, "‘Ah, la, 1a, la, la,” and embraced him, whiech T felt like do- ing, as I was so glad to see him. ‘“The last time I saw Jhim was in Richmond, Va., last April or May./| Am to meet him tonight at the Mec- Alpine.” ¥ BEMIDJIITES FACETIOUS. The sprightly letter from Lieut. Leibsle, recalls others in the same vein, one beéing that of Lee LaBaw, who went ovér seas from the ma- rines to act as confidential clerk to a high military official. LaBaw wrote lLome that someone ‘“tipped’” the Germans off that he was coming for soon after he landed the Ger- mans quit. Dr. G. M. Palmer, who went over for the Y. M. C. A, was as ‘“‘sick as a dog”’ while on board the trans- port and said he had no fear of sub- marines, not even if there had been a thousand submarines around the ship. He also said that throughout the ship were signs which read, “Conserve Food,” and that when he would lean over the side of the vessel |. one of those ‘“Conserve Food’ signs would always stare him in the face.

He will show an’s Fur Factory and Ailing of Acid-5t There are any number of people who for years have been sick and ailing, weak, run down and in & poor physical condition who will be surprised— even dumbfounded-- to learn that their trouble has just been an acid-stomach, which is merely another name for what doctors call superacidity. Yet it is now positively known that acid-stomach is the cause of a very large number of diseases, Excess acid in the stomach prevents proper digestion and assimiliation, thus causing the blood to become thin and impoverished as a result of which people become sallow-skinned, emaciated and anemic. Excesa acid causes irritation all along the intes- tinal tract—irritation so severe and aggravating as to frequently result in catarrh and even cancer of the stomach. 3 Excess acid causes stomach and intestinal fer- mentation, producing poisons which, absorbed into the biood and carried throughout the system, cause auto-intoxication, insornia, nervousness, irritabil- ity, menta! depression, melancholia, dizziness, vertigo and, often times, valvular heart trouble and e Yaay pachli. will be greas ised to es, many people atly surprise learn that sucmong train of S;;ionl ailments can be directly to an acid-stomach, But there is no need for surprise. Think what acid mouth does to the teeth. "The acid eats right through the enamel—the hardest substance in the human body. And that is exactly what makes teeth rot and de- cay. No wonder, then, that excess acid in the stomach plays such havoe; causes so much ill- health and misery—makes so many ple weak snd ailing--unfit for either work or pleasure and brings on premature old age. So often you have heard the remark: “I've taken all soris of tonics and medicines and tried many different doctors but nothing seems to help me.” Nine times out of fen the person makin such & remark has an acid-stomach. And unti the excess acid is removed, nothing WILL heip. Remove that excess acid and the results are truly wonderful. . Health and strength return almost like magic.
