J"'\ FRIDAY EVENING, JANUARY 30, 1920 ' ‘AGE-OLD BUILDING MATERIAL “Pise,” in Use for Many Centuries, s Merely a Simple Form of Concrete. What is pise? The word, which in its complete form is written pise de terre, betrays a French origin and, from its general appearance, might well suggest some affinity with the world of art. These preliminary im- pressions, however, will be found mis- Teading. There is nothing peculiarly French in pise dwellings, though they are common enough in some parts of France, and reference to them abounds in French literature of the eighteenth century. The word itself, traced to its Latin origin, apparently means nothing more' artistic than “battered.” Perhaps the simplest definition of pise is provided by Pliny the Elder, who calls it “earth battered between boards,” meaning by boards a form such as may be used for concrete in construction work. - . . The Roman sage adds that it was an old and well-tried system of building and remarks that Hanonibal used. this material for watch towers on the tops of hills in Spain during his campaign. Who knows whether it was. not also in use when Cheops built his Great Pyramid; for there are prehistoric pise buildings in New Mexico and Ari- zona which, some say, date back al- most to that period? Certainly history cannot trace the gystem to its origin, and the pise dwellings now visible in France, Spain, America, the British colonies and elsewhere may give no complete indi- cation of the extent to which this ma- terial was employed in other centuries. —Exchange. . About the Dead Sea. Swimming in the Dead sea is re- freshing sport, but swimmers have to be careful not to get water into their eyes.. In a ton of water from the Cas- plan séa there are 11 pounds’of salt, in & toh from the Atlantic ocean there are 81 pounds, from the Mediterranean, 85 pounds; but in a ton of the Dead sea there are 187 pounds. Contrary to a prevailing belief, there are plaing on the shores of the Dead sea that are so fertile and well watered that as soon as one crop is harvested anothe? can be planted; but as a whole, the * basin is a dresry reglon.—Youth's Comparion, Egg-E Snakes. A queer African species of snake, which lives on eggs, has a toothlike spike projecting downward from its backbone, just behind the head, which is tipped with enamel. When it swal- lows an egg the latter passes down the gullet until it encounters the spike. which: breaks the -shell. Thus: ng.part of the fluid contents is lost, as would: be the case if the snake were obliged to bite the egg with its mouth-fangs. Highly Diverting.

THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER INDIAN'S TRIBUTE TO MOTHER | COMB SAGE TEA Red-Skinned Fighter in World War Proves Worthy Descendant of * Race of Chiefs. ' Wounded-With-Many-Arrows is an Indian living in South Dakota. According to an Indian custom, the first thing an Indian iother sees or says after her child is born may be chosen as the infant’s name. The night of his birth, in April, 1891, the mother saw a warrior who had been wounded by many arrows; hence the name given to the new-born child. Entering the world war in the armies of the great white father at Washington, the first thought of this copper-skinned descendant of a race of chiefs was of his mother. whom he named as the beneficiary in his $10,- 000 government war risk insurance policy. The mother's name is Susan-Loves- the-War and she lives at Wakpola, S. D. She was proud that her son was among the first to respond to the call of the United States for soldiers to fight for their country; she was glad when he came back, unharmed, full of wonderful stories of the adventure through which he had passed. And she realized that he had, by allotment of pay and by his insurance policy, demonstrated that all he had was hers, as everything he was hé owed to her. Woun(led—\Vigh-Muuy-Arrows might be called Indian-Good-to-His-Mother. Big Money for Perfect Potatoes. The perfect potato, which resists blight and other “spud” diseases, has been developed, according to Samuel Ryder, head of a well-known English seed firm. He refused to give the name of the hybridist, but said he paid him $12,000 for seed potatoes which wouldn't fill a peck measure. “We have bought up all the bhy- bridized seed of this expert,” said Ryder. “The average potato vield in 1918 was four tons per acre in Eng- land. With the new seed. six pounds per root, or 33 tons per acre. can be produced. The full results of the per- fect potato may not be reaped for two or three years.” Marked End of Spanish Rule. In.1900, on December 21, the United States Philippine commission ordered that all the laws of the Philippine is- lands be printed in English and that English should be the official language of the islands. For 330 years the offi- clal language of the Philippines had been Spanish. ~ - Lepérs Live Fairly Well.

LAST YEAR’S RECORD BROKEN IN CHICAGO Persons Weak and Run-down Are Easy Vittims. Fortify Against Attack by Taking Tanlac. According_ to late press reports jssued by state and city health au- . thorities, Influenza is again becoming epidemic in many sections, and much alarm is now felt that it may become general over the entire country. The disease has made its greatest progress in Chicago and vicinity, where thousands of mnew cases are reported daily. Recently 2,514 cases were reported in Chicago in one day, breaking last year’s record when the epidemic was at its height. Reports from - other sections are also alarm- ing, and the disease is gaining head- way in some sections of Texas, Vir- ginia, the Middle-West, and on the Pacific Coast. It has also appeared in other communities, although it has not as yet reached the epidemic stage. . Owing to the lateness of the sea- son it is not thought possible that the disease can become the great and terrifying scourge that it was last year, when it swept the entire country and claimed its victims by the hundreds of thousands. The dan- ger is too great, however, to take any chances, and everything possible should be done to ward it off. ‘Medical authorities agree that peo- ple who are weak and run-down are the earliest victims of Influenza. If you find yourself tired (and nervous), weak, and losing flesh, or if you are ve Paae in a generally run-down condition or catch cold easily, this warning should be heeded promptly. You are really in danger if exposed to the disease, because it is generally believed to be -very contagious, and you are apt to fall an easy victim if you come in contagt with the germs. People who are well and strong are not likely to contract the disease because they are able to throw it off. The common-sense way to keep from taking it is to fortify the system against attack by building up the constitution, in other words, begin immediately to build up your powers of resistance. To accomplish this it has been dem- onstrated that nothing on earth will strengthen you and build you up like Tanlac, the powerful reconstructive tonic which contains the very ele- ments needed to build up the system and give you fighting strength to ward off the Influenza germ. First of all, Tanlac begins its work by creating a good, healthy appgtite for wholesome, nourishing food, and assists every organ of the body to perform its natural function, thus helping to build up health and strength in the natural way. Tanlac is also an ideal strengthen- ing tonic for persons who are suffer- ing from the after-effects of Influ- enza, Grippe, and bronchial troubles, and hundreds of thousands are using it daily with the most gratifying re- sults. In connection with the Tanlac treatment it is necessary to keep the bowels open by taking Tanlac Laxa- tive Tablets, samples of which are enclosed with every bottle of Tanlac. It is also important that the every- day rules of hygiene be observed, that is, sleep in well-ventilated rooms, get plenty of fresh air and exercise, and keep away from crowds. . Tanlac is sold in Bemidji by_the City Drug Store, in Kelliher by Mrs, R. Sterling, in Blackduck by French & Moon, in Baudette by J. Williams, and in Thorhult by P. M. Swanson.

Not one that cures some particular cough, but coughs in general. It must be a cough remedy that can be relied upon for all the different coughs that are so prevalent. While the causes of all ; coughs are primarily the same, yet the condition of the patient | is what makes the difference in the nature of the cough itself. Coughs of healthy persons are easier to cure than the coughs of = invalids. The powerful convulsive cough of a large man is . harder to cure than the cough of a baby. If you get a remedy | that will cure a large man's cough and yet not be too powerful ‘ for the baby, you have a good cough remedy. - Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy is just this kind of remedy. It is good for any member of the family. It relieves coughs of all kinds. It is the product of much thought and study to produce an ideal cough remedy. It is com- posed of things which cure easily and soothingly without harm- ing the most delicate tissues of the throat. It acts as easily and safely on the young as on the old, and is the ideal remedy,for coughs, colds, croup, influenza, whooping cough and bronchitis.” S Qfouns o Paltl —Geamsj Qoo borlusins | | | | | i | 3 Siszey ¥
