Arrangements have been completed by Captain Hallan L. Huffman whereby a post| will be established in Bemidji if not less than fifty world war participants make application to become charter members, | The future of this country will inevitably rest in the hands| of the great body of young Americans under thirty who partici- | pated in the war. The burden of the war has rested on them| and, on the other hand, from the war they have received the‘» greatest possible stimulus toward a sense of duty and organized patriotism. It is the purpose of the American Legion to try to keep alive and carry on in the times of peace that sense of patriotic unity and enthusiasm. These men have fought for| democracy and risked-their lives for that ideal. To them it has| acquired a new and precious value. They have seen with their own eyes the terrible evidences which have been produced upon innocent neighbors by an irresponsible autocracy. That lesson should never be allowed to fade in their minds. The American Legion is intended to not only serve as a| vehicle by which comradeship and love of country, aroused by | the war, shall be maintained ‘and kept alive, but intended also| to embody the democratic spirit in which the war has been| fought. It is to be opened to all men who have worn the uni-| form of either the military or naval service, whether officers or enlisted men, uniting them all upon a common basis of Ameri- can citizenship and American purpose. The purpose of the Legion is far from political. It will be a non-partisan organization in the true sense of the word, but| its huge vote is certain to be cast as a unit for men and for the| principles believed to be right. | Returned men should attend the meeting in the Bemidji Association quarters Tuesday night at which the local post will| be organized.

Their courage saved it for future| generations. | Most of the heroes who fought for our country then ar» dead, and tomorrow they will be honored and their wonderful services commemorated. Cemeteries throughout the land will be visited that the citizens of the United States may pay worthy tribute to their self-sacrifice. Those who fought and gave their lives for America during the Civil War held a vision of a united country, and if they could have seen it grow in resources and power and splendor, they would have said, “It was worth the price.” This in itself is a sufficient reason why Memorial Day means so much to the United States, but the people of our great country regard it this year with far greater significance than ever before, and rightly so. We have just passed through the blooded American boys responded to the call, ready to fight for the cause of democracy. They too had a vision—of a free world, delivered from the wickedness of arbitrary power. So tomorrow when we pay tribute to the older heroes, and and decorate their resting places, we will have in our minds the thought of the ten thousands of little markers which designate the graves in France of.the true Americans who gave their lives that their country might be restored to peace and returned to happiness and prosperity. And with our gratitude to them will come the hope that the world will be better as a result of their sacrifices and that in time it may be said “It was worth the price.” plays the part of Doris Parker, and although she is not well known to the picture patrons, her wonderful appealing ‘beauty in this story, will establish ler populdrity at once.

The contrast of city-bred selfish- ness and luxury-served passion with the self-abnegation of the outdoors and the simplicity of life in the northwoods is well brought out in Monroe Salisbury’s latest photoplay, “The Blinding Trail,” which will be shown at the Rex theatre tomorrow. Salisbury’s successor to ‘“Hugon,” “Lieutenant Blenton,” ‘‘The Eagle.” and “Allessandro,” is Big Jim Mec- Kenzie, boss of a lumber camp—one Wwho rules by power of physique no more than by fraternal understand- ing of his fellowmen.

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 sensation, ‘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 very profuse again, 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.
