PPAGE SIX ‘ORDERS TO FIGHT TO DEATH.” SAYS BELGIAN OFFICER IN INTERVIEW #Merely Followed Orders,” He Declared; Member of Albert’s Party By Don E. Chamberlain. (United Press Correspondent.) New York, October 20.—*We had orders to fight to the death. We merely followed orders. This was the terse explanation here today by Lieut. Gen. Baron Jac- ques, commander of the Third Bel- gian army division, and who toug'ht ut Liege, Antwerp, on the famous vic- tory of a single Belgian brigade of jnfantry which stopped the Germans at Dixmude, in October, 1914. “From October 19 to 26th we fought and held them without budg- ing an inch,” Jacques told the United Press. “The Germans were advanc- ing. The fighting was very, very mot. It was an inferno all the time. I was wounded twice. More bodies were strewn over the ground than there were effectives. The Germans were absolutely mad, charging, charging, charging, morning, noon and night. We had to keep our finger on the trigger all the time. We eouldn’t get forward even to relieve gur outposts, all 6t which but one held. This one had its men wiped out. We couldn’t even succor our wounded- “Bat in those seven days we held every inch of ground and stopped the German onrush. Finally after the battle we retired to the south gide of the river. The Germans didn’t enter Dixmude until Novem- ber. “We simply had been ordered to fight to the death. e merely fol- Jowed orders. “As an example of the terrific strain we were under: On the night af the 25th, a German battalion forced its way through Dixmude to the south bank of the river in our rear. 1 blew out my candle light. Some officers were Kkilled because their jights gave the Germans a tar- ®et o shoot at. Throughout the night we heard the Germans in our rear singing, shooting and killing. In front of us they were constantly charging our lines. “But our morale held. The Ger- mans finally stopped”and the battle was ours. The German battalion which had forced its way through our lines never returned. We killed ar captured the entire battalion.” MRS.

I had been suf- fering from stomach trouble, rheuma- tism and extreme nervousness for tive years. My liver was also in a very ®ad condition as my skin was as yel- Jow as a pumpkin. My food would sour on my stomach, causing gas, pains and spells of palpitation of the heart when it just seemed like my Breath would stop.

IS NOT EXPENSIVE TO BUILD Design Shown Suits Needs of Average Family and Provides House That Is Readily Saleable. By WM. A. RADFORD. Mr. William A.

On account of his wide experience as Editor, Author and Manufacturer, he s, without doubt, the highest authority on all these subjects. Address all inquiri to Willlam A.

Many builders in selecting the de- sign for & home pick one of a house that will suit the need of the aver- age family. The house is of either six or seven rooms, of frame construction and arranged in its interior so that| it will provide a confortable, modern home for the ordinary family. There is nothing about the house that is ‘“freakish;” it is a good, common-sense home. This sort of house is what will appeal to the greatest number of buy- ers; consequently, it can readily be turned into cash should the bullder so desire. \ The house shown in the accompany- ing illustration is the sort of a home described. It is of frame construction, set on a concrete foundation and has a full basement. There are three good rooms on the first floor, and | three bedrooms and bath on the sec- ond. The attic is large—large enough, in fact, so that it can be atilized for an extra bedroom, a playroom for | the children and at the same time pro- vide a considerable amount of storage spuce. From an exterior viewpoint, this de- sizn is excellent. The wide poreh with brick plers; the shingled siding above the second floor sill and the inset at- tiec window all combine to give it an attractive appearance. The size is 22 by 26 feet, so that it will go on a mar- row lot, keeping down the total eest of the home. The argp shown by the floor plans. ngement of the six rooms is On the first brp Room 11-0410-6' few bottles of Tanlac. My husband Rad been trying to get me to try, Tan- tac Yor sometime, but I refused to do 0 because 1 thought it was like other things I had taken and would do me mo good. But I kept on suffering and getting worse until one day he ®brought home a bottle and insisted &0 that I began taking it. Well, it wasn’t long until I found Tanlac was altogether different from any other medicine I had ever used, for soon at- ter starting on my second bottle there was a wonderful change in my feelings. I am now eating just any- thing T want .and am never troubled the least bit with gas on my stomach, paipitation of the heart or any un- comfortable feeling afterwards. My eomplexion has cleared up until it is ¥ike new. The rheumatic pain has disappeared from my limbs and my merves have quieted down until I can sleep just like a baby. I am really anid truly feeling like a new person and owe it all to Tanlac.” Tarlac .ig sold in Bemidji by_the, City Drug Store, in Kelliher by Mrs. R.

This house is not expensive to build. The walls all are straight, which cuts the construction cost. Still it will make a comfortable, convenient and attractive home for the average-sized family. What it will cost can be de- termined by consulting the local build- ing contractor and material dealer. Costs differ in different localities, be- ing controlled by the distance from sources of supply and the consequent LIVING RooM 21-0x i1-6 First Fioor Plan, difference in freight rates, and the cost of labor. By consulting the con- tractor and material dealer, also, the prospective builder can learn many ways to cut costs without cutting the size and convenience of his home. There are hundreds of thousands of Americans now building their owp homes ; many other thousands are' con templating securing a place of their own in which to live. No nation- wide movement has gained such a hold on every one as the “Own Your Home” campafgn. But the best way to get the home that you want is to build it. Building a home, in a majority of cases, means that the builder has to borrow meney with which to build. This is an easy thing to do. Bankers, building and loan associations, many employers, real estate men and con- tractors all are ever ready to help the head of a family secure a home for himself and his family. If the prospective builder owns a lot, he can get the money to build either on a straight mortgage or on a contract, which provides for monthly payments, the same as rent. If he has some cash, real estate dealers will help him secure his home. The first step in building is to se- cure the plan of the house that the owner wants—one that is large enough to provide for the needs of his family, and one that he can pay Sfor without embarrassment. Assum- ing the obligation to pay for a home is one of the greatest incentives to save. Payments are due at a certain time, and the owner will meet them. And when the last payment is made, the builder has an asset that not only protects him in his old age, but can be turned into cash more readily than any other thing, with the powsible ex- ception of government bonds. But what is most valuable to the home owner is the feeling that the place in which he lives is his—his to fix up as he sees fit; to beautify with trees, and shrubs and flowers, and to add to as he can afford it. He is a responsible member of the commun- ity in which he lives; he is a fixture, not a transient, and is accepted as a desirable person to know. He gets ad- vancement in business because it is reasonably certain that he will stick to his job, and not leave his employer. And when the opportunity comes in a business way he has, or can easily obtain, capital to take advantage of the opportunity that presents itself. Owning a home i8 what makes a man a real citizen. And by building 1 home he owns one that he wants; <e that his family will be proud of, nd one that means more to him tham ¢+ n place in which to eat and fleep. ENTERPRISE AUTO (0.
