* '§TATES HELP DISABLED MEN Leuisiana and Texas Are Prominent in the Work of Assisting the Unfortunates. { Much encouragement has come to @e district officers of the federal (beard for vocational education, as lo- ‘eal interest has been displayed in the ywork of re-education for disabled sol- '@ers. The building in which men in “tryout” courses are taught at Tulane wniversity was donated for the pur- pose. It is a modern, up-to-date build- fng, spacious enough to accomodate the men who will need this type of ‘tralning in this district. The shops at ‘Tulane university will still be utilized, as will the automobile instruction, and related subjects in English and fn simple arthmetic will be given in this building, In addition, it may be used as: a Mfoclal center for the men. An organization has been perfected among the disabled men in training, and other social organizations in the city have shown interest in planning entertainment for them. A splendid spirit has developed among the men and they seem much interested In their work. A similarly satisfactory arrange- ment has been made in Texas at the Grubb school. Ten thousand dollars * have been appropriated by the state for use in this school in connection with the work done by the board. The < school receives pupils at any time, and 1 mo tuition is charged. Barracks are B being built by the authorities to house B the men, and a special mess hall is being prepared for them. WAS PIONEER IN WIRELESS 1 e s James Bowman Lindsay, Scottish En. gineer, Has Mot Bsen Given the Credit He Deserves. Little Is heard about James Bowman Lindsay, and much about wireless te- Jegraphy, yet the career of the one and the history of the osther are insepara- ®le, says the Christian Science Moni. s tor. Upwards of sixty years ago Bow- man Lindsay operated a system across the River Tay, a distance of one and a half miles, just above the bridge the eonstruction of which ranks as one of the most notable feats in engineering. His efforts failed to attract attention at the time, however, because of his wetiring disposition, but the history of electrical research records few names more deserving of respect than his. He was a pioneer in the application ot electricity for heating and lighting parposes and bespoke a great future for it. Apropos of Bowman Lindsay, as he ‘was famillarly known, it is interesting % mote that his energies were not wholly directed to the advancement of the mechanjcal arts. He was a lin- guist and as such started out to trans late the Bible into many different lan- guages. Seven years’ labor was ex- pended on the task, and the work was far {rom being finished when it had to be abandoned. .The Bible, in incom- plete form, may still be seen in the Albert fnstitute, Dundee, Scotjand. It lies open in a glass case and shows that the method employed was to di- il I g § 1 it i ) i ¢ wide the book into the requisite aum: Lol ‘ber of columns and in each coluinn e place the words in English and thek ( 4 eguivalent in each language into which they were translated.

Pioneell"l Stationery ‘Wholesalers KNEES TOO FAT. As every one knows, most of the boy scout executives adopt a very unconventianal uniform which ex- hibits their knees much like the kil- ties of the Scots. Recently in one of the Indiana towns a new troop was being formed and the executive was hunting for some business men to make the scout committee. He turned to one of the youngsters, whose father was one of the town’s leading men, and said, “Do you sup- pose we could get your father?” The youngster was very doubtful. Later he confided to his chum. “Oh, I don’t want dad to be on that com- mittee. His knees are too fat for people to see in a uniform like that man has on.” Origin of Popular Flavor.

After Taking Tanlac DI, S T | l THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER “] have gained exactly thirteen pounds since I commenced taking Tanlac, and the. troubles that have been making life miserable for me during the past three years, have been completely overcome,” said I A. Anderson, a well known employee of the Washburn-Crosby Co., and who lives at 71 Western Ave., Min- neapolis, Minn., recently. “] had suffered so much from rheumatism all through my body,” he eontinued, “that I was just about all in when I commenced taking Tan- lac. This trouble was so bad in my arms that I couldn’t raise my hands above my head. Both of my legs were badly affected, too, and I had to lose a lot of time from my work. In addition to this, I had a bad case of stomach trouble, and every time I ate anything I would be all bloated up with gas for several hours after- wards. Some times I would get so dizzy that I would have to brace my- self against something to keep from falling. When time came to get up every morning, my leaders and mus- cles ached so that I could hardly get out of bed and dress myself. I was living in Seattle while all this was going on, and I finally gave up my work and came to Minneapolis, my old home. . “] was in pretty bad shape when I got back home, and was very much discouraged, as I had failed to get relief from any of the medicines and treatments I had been taking. Then, I commenced to read about Tanlac, and I heard a good many people talk- ing about the good this medicine had done them, so I made up my mind to give it a trial. Well, sir, the very first bottle made a big change in my condition, and from that time on I just kept on improving until I had gotten completely rid of my troubles, and am now as well and strong as I ever was in my life. No more rheu- matism, and no more stomach trou- bles. My appetite was never better, and everything I eat agrees with me all right. I have gotten back my strength, and can do as much hard work in a day as I ever could. In fact, I just feel fine all the time, and am glad to give Tanlac credit for it all.” Tanlac is sold in Bemidji by the City Drug Store, in Kelliher by Mrs. R. Sterling, in Blackduck by French & Moon, and in Baudette by J. Williams. L N LR Qur Engineers at *Cambrai Behind the British advance near Cambrai during No- vember, 1917, American engineers were building rail- roads. When that advance suddenly became a retreat, the Americans dropped their tools, grabbed rifles and helped to stem the onrush of the enemy’s assault. The U. S. engineers proved their_ adaptability; they could work or fight with equal facility. Many who could only stay home and work found MOTHER’S BREAD at once a nourishing and delicious food during those days of strain. But they will find it an even better loaf today. *The first fight in which an American unit participated.
