STORM CLAIMS
THREE VICTIMS
NORTH DAKOTANS MEET DEATH
IN STORMS SATURDAY AND
SUNDAY

Grand Forks, June 28.-Four per-
sons were killed in Saturdays storms
in North Dakota-two at Bismarck,
one at Jamestown, and one in Grand
Forks.
Heavy property damage was done
in several districts in both North Da-
kota and Minnesota.
The rainfall, which was 2.15 inches
in Grand Forks Saturday, and which
reached nearly three inches at some
points, was the greatest in many
years. :,
Flood conditions have been created
in many small rivers, and the Red
river at Grand Forks is rising at the
rate of four inches an hour.
At Thief River Pals, Minn., dam
was partially dynamited that the re-
mainder of the structure might be
saved.
At Hitterdal, Minn., nelevator was
blown down last night by fierce wind

was open between Grand Forks and
Minneapolis, the Tri-State having no
service, and the Northwestern but one
wire.
Telegraph service north of Crooks
ton is impaired seriously, while tele-
phone service south of there is out.
The Red Lake river reached flood
proportions today at several points as
a result of heavy rains during the
past three weeks, the situation being
made acute at Thief River Falls where
the Kretzschnar dam. providing power
for the city's electric plant and the
big Hanson & Barren flour mill, was
partially dynamited to remove the pos
sibility of the dam washing out.
The upper portion of the dam when
blown out permitted rush of water
that washed out the mill race at the
Hanson 4 Barren dam. The dynamit-
ing, however, reduced the tension on
the big dam to such extent that no
further damage is anticipated. The
river still is going up, waters pour
ing into the Red Lake river from
Thief river and several other sources.
At Red Lake Falls the big dam
owned bv the Bvllesby interests of
Chicago is withstanding the enormous
strain laid upon it. The water there
is flooding over the dam to depth Of
two feet.

DAINTY FOOD.
Turns Pale Checks to Pink

Our best physicians of the present
day seek to cure patients by the use
of food and right living, rather than
heavy drugs, and this is the true me-
thod, for only from food can the
body be rebuilt
Many people,, after living on poor
" selected or badly cooked food for
a long time, and when their ailments
become chronic, expect the doctor
with some magic potency, to instant

This is not possible. The only true
method is to turn as quickly as can
be. from poor food to good A young
lady in Ohio says:

nervous, stomach, lungs. ETC., but
none of the treatments gave me relief.
About year ago when my APP
petite failed completely and began
to have sinking spells similar to
fainting, | took all manner of tonics
and stimulants, but they were of no
effect. I had been brought to quit
drinking coffee and taking Postum

food so dainty, delicious, and appe-

Shortly after commencing this
diet, the wretched pain in my side was
greatly relieved, and now. a year la
ter, it has gone entirely, also the
sinking spells; in fact my pale
cheeks have changed to pink, I have

old Indian chief, who was very remi-

No American Killed by Allies.
The Morning Post points out that

the allies have killed no Americans
nor sunk any American ships
The Daily Chronicles says the Ger

In that sense, because It is more def
mite and final, the new note is even
more unsatisfactory than IT'S predeces-
sor.
Most Astonishing Utterance.
The Daily Telegraph characterized
the note as the most astonishing utter
sence of the mind of Berlin made in
the last twelve months
The Times says: THE note liz a

diplomacy could have brewed, and Il

sIronical Coincidence..

with an attempt to make the United
