ed, for his home was almost in sight.
He had to keep some distance from
the shore of the lake, for it was
reedy, with a soft, mud bottom.
Then he vaguely noted tn tracks
of a man who had been there only
recently. Following these tracks he
came to a place on the shore where
a canoe had landed-but it was no
longer there.
Retracing his steps he followed
the tracks inland.
At the foot of tree, resting on a
bed of moss, an infant, wrapped in a
tiny blanket, was lying asleep.
For moment Lorimer looked
duly at the baby, hardly seeming to
understand. Then the baby cried
feebly, as if weak from hunger.
Lorimer, still dazed, took the child
in his arms, hardly knowing what he
was doing.
An hour later Uapukun, the wife
of Atuk, Nascaupee, who was
camping on Many Beaver Lake, net
ting whitefish for the winters pro-
visions, opened her eyes in wonder.
A man clad in woful rags was
staggering toward her, yet he did
not appear 10 see nef. his lace was
rough with a beard of some weeks,
and he was soiled with the dirt of
many days, which cold water alone
had been unable to remove. In his
arms the man held a weeping child.
The woman called him and he lift
ed up his head as one suddenly awak-
ened from a dream. He rushed to-
ward her, stumbling, bent down,
placed the baby in her arms, and
rolled over on the ground, an inert
mass.
Uapukun then cried out and her
husband came running toward her
He FASTENED to prepare hot tea and
fish broth, and forced some between
Lorimer's teeth.
In a moment he swallowed the
food greedily. Then the Indians
dragged him into their tent and COW
cred him, with blankets.
Uapukun, who had little baby of
her own, took the newly arrived in
FAINT to her kindly bosom. In a short
time it was also sleeping in peace.

From the Jaws of Death.

Those who have used s. s. s. marvel
at the way it checks blood diseases. See
q man today with his skin all broken out !;
see him again in a week or two after using
s. s. S. and he is a wonder to behold, all
cleared up, skin healthy, eyes bright. q big
smile replaces the droop. What is s. S. S.
that can accomplish such wonderful re-
suits? First of all it is a natural medi-
cine. Like milk, eggs and other foods that
can not be initiated, S. S. S. owes 1t to
Nature for it's power to overcome disease
just as food prevents emaciation. S. S. S.
is not q combination of prescription drugs.
1t is a preparation direct from medicinal
plants that retains all the virile potency
of what we need, what we must have In
the blood to counteract those destructive
tendencies that assail us throughout life.
If It were not for our natural secrctions to
sustain US, aided by such known helps as
$. s. S. there would be small chance Of
any of us surviving childhood.
Get q bottle Of S. S. S. today from any
druggist but be careful to avoid the SUBJ
stitutes palmed off on the unwary. S. S. s.
is prepared only by The Swift Specific Co.,

vate medical advice write briefly your
symptoms ; to their medical department.
They will take excellent care Of you.

LONELY WOMAN
Los Angeles Woman Wants to In
terest Californians in Women
Of the Plains

Do you know the NEST homesick
woman in North Dakota? A woman
in Los Angeles seems to have taken
an interest in her, whoever she is and
has written a peculiar letter to Miss
Stearns. OF Madison, Wis. The letter
has been sem to Mrs. Budlong of the
library commission, in this city.
At the biennial convention of wo.
mems clubs held in Chicago this sum.
lner this woman was impressed with
an address made by Miss Stearns re-
garding the lonely women on the
western prairias, with a view to in
teresting the various wCmen's clubs
in assisting them and furnishing
them with literature, and in other
ways assisting them. Following is
the Letter written by this oma from
Los Angeles. She probably has ex,
aggerated ideas regarding the subject
as there are few such cases in North
Dakota today-at least no more, and
probably less than in other states.
The letter follows: ..-.
Dear Miss Standardization me for
writing you but | wish to inquire if
you have the anne of any lonely
women on the plains of Minnesota or
North Dakota. l heard you tell about
them at the biennial and ! returned

BAD SMASbUP ON

Several Had Narrow Escap
When Engineer Dropped

fatally to several persons occurred

on the engine next to the disc was
running hot, and while Fred Hodg-
man, the engineer, was loosening the

freely, the wrench slipped out of his
hand and dropped into a hole in the
disc and was struck against the heat
err with such tremendous force that
the whole side OF the engine was bad
ly wrecked. The disc was split
%squarely in two which loosened the
piston which flew back blowing out
the cylinder head, which barely miss
ed Sherman Painter, fireman, who
stood almost directly back of it. Sew
eral steam pipes were broken and the
noise of escaping steam together
with the racket Of broken machinery,
made a deafening noise and it is said
that every team on the place ran
away, scattering grain bundles in ev-
cry direction. Frank Snyder, separ-
ator tender, was standing on the side
steps of the engine when the smash
occurred and it is a wonder he was
not killed outright. He escaped with
the loss of the second finger of his
left hand. The only injury sustained
by Fred Hodgman was a bruised face.
Several persons were in the immed-
late vicinity at the time and it is
a miracle that no fatalities resulted.
Some of them may thank their lucky
stars that they are still alive. The
damage to the engine was consider
able and the cost OF repairs will
amount to about 5000 or $500, besides
a lawn of several DAYS.

RAILROADS EXPECTING
FAVORABLE DECISION
|. c. c. to Give Greater Relief Than
in First Rate Decision, 1t
Is Believed.

Denial was made at the Interstate Com
mercc Commission yesterday that the
commission has taken a final vote on the
advance rate case. There is little doubt.
though. that the decision will be decided
ly favorable to the railroad, although the
road will not get all of the increases that
have been asked
The understanding in Washington IS
that the commission will give the rail-
roads greater relief than that given in
the first decision. In the first decision
in the advance rate case the commission
indicated some rates which might he
increased even beyond the 5 per cent re-
Quested by the railroads, and the proba-
bility is that the commission will Iiberalize
this list.
There are other rates on important
commodities. however, which the COM
mission has held TO be reasonable within
the last year and the commission will
deny the application of the railroads for
increase on these commodities.
The railroads estimated that a flat in
crease of ; per cent requested by them
would yield &JO,OO0OOO additional revenues,
The increases which the commission
granted in its first decision amounted
only to about $l2 OOOO00

WAR TAX WILL CAUSE
Discomfort, HE SAYS
Former Vice President Fairbanks Be
lieves Assessment on Current Busi-

''To throw away millions OF dollars
in revenue at the customs houses of the
country and make up the deficiency by
a system of stamp taxes upon the cur
rent business of the people will inten-
sify popular discomfort"
This is the opinion of Charles War
rem Fairbanks, former Vice President
of the United States. who is in Wash
ington for a few days for the purpose
of attending meetings of the board OF
regents OF the Smithsonian Institution.
He now is practicing law in Indiana.
Mr.. Fairbanks expressed himself as de-
lighted at being back in the Capital and
at having an opportunity to renew old
friendships.
In speaking Of the recent election and
its relation to the administrators policy
in regard to Federal revenues, he said:
''The effort of our friends in opposition
to shift responsibility for the stamp tax
to the necessities growing out OF the Eu-
ropean war did not satisfy the people,
and as they are obliged to pay it from
day to day in the future they will con-
denim its authors for imposing upon them
an unnecessary burden

DANIELS AND BOARD
SPLIT ON PROGRAM
Two Reports Present Striking Diff

for Navy.

The report OF Secretary of the Navy
Daniels this year is one Of the longest
and most varieagted ever presented by
the Navy Department.
The Secretary's conclusions are that the
navy never was in better condition In
regard to the building program and in
creased personnel. the Secretary indicates
he would ask more Of Congress, but that
he has regard for the straitened condi-
tions of the national fiance, due to the
war in Europe.
Presented with the Secretady's report,
however, is that Of the general board
of the navy, signed by Admiral Dewey.
Comparison Of the general boards report
with that of the Secretary is the most
interesting feature of the joint review of
the navy's needs. Mr.. Daniels has great
ly reduced the program outlined by the
