GUARD TO PROTECT
Line, SAYS WILSON

Washington, Aug. 7~.-President VIII
son has informed Democratic senators
he intends to leave the national guard
On the Mexican border until CarranZa
proves his ability to protect the Unit.
ed States against aggression from Vii.
lista or other bandits.
The president told the senators the
guard had been called out to meet an
emergency in the relations with Car.
rama, but now that the emergency no
longer existed he had found it neces.
sary to put the militia to work as a
supplementary force to the regular
army, to protect the border against
raiders.
One or two of the senators suggest.
ed that if the army is too small con.
gress should increase it to the re.
quired strength. The president said
he was opposed to this plan because
he believed that within a few weeks
or months at the most Carranza will
have sufficient power to do the work.
Republicans, when they heard of
the presidents position with respect
to the maintenance of the guard on
the border, said it vas outrageous.

the driver, was thrown forty feet but
he escaped serious injury by a
miracle. The wagon was backed up
to the 500 freight car at the blind
siding under the viaduct when the
switch engine without warning struck
the car. The rear end of the wagon
was caught by the moving car and
the wagon demolished.
A very distressing accident &C.
Cured to Mrs. p. H. Mccormick of
Rawson as she and her son were
driving in an auto to the funeral of
Mr.. Lindback. In attempting to
change the gears Of the car on a
steep hill, the brakes failed to work,
with the result that the car started
backing downwards and Mrs. Nc
Cormick, becoming excited, attempted
to get out and had just reached the
running board when the machine
shot alongside a barbed wire fence
and she, being wedged between the
two, received a number of deep and
painful decorations.
A young son of Thorval Christian
son, a prominent farmer residing neal
Linstad, met with a serious accident
which might easily have cost the lad
his life. 1t seems he had been rak-
ing hay and had returned to the barn
to put in the team. He had I'M
hitchcd the team, he thought, and
started one horse to the barn, when
the other followed with one trace still
attached to the rake. The boy was
caught in the rake and rolled over
several times when the rake, which
kept dumping, finally missed him and
left him free. Upon examination one
of his arms was found broken in two
places above the elbow.
The Missouri river will be SPAWNED
by a new pontoon bridge uniting for
the first time the counties of Will

announcement by R. NJ. Calderwood.
Pontoons for the new bridge are now
being constructed in yards which have
been fitted up on the river bank neal
the city and already a third Of the
% big p%ontoons needed for the main
river span are completed and in the
water. At the same time work is
going forward on the 80-foot towers,
one on each side of the river, which
will carry the big overhead cable to
which the bridge will be anchored.

ARE YOUR KIDNEYS WELL?
Many Dickinson People Know the Inn
p%Ortance of Healthy Kidneys.

The kidneys filter the blood.
They work night and day.
Well kidneys remove impurities.
Weak kidneys allow impurities to
multiply.
No kidney ill should be neglected.
There is possible danger in delay.
If you have backache,
If you are nervous, dizzy or worn
out,
Begin treating your kidneys at
once;
Use a proven kidney remedy.
None endorsed like Doan's Kidney
Pills.
Recommended by thousands.
Proved by Mandan testimony.
W. P. Reynolds, Main St., Mandan,
N. D., says: "Severe pains across
my back, frequent headaches and
dizzy spells and irregular action of
my kidneys caused me much annoy
ance. I came to the conclusion that
my kidneys needed attention and
after using Doan's Kidney Pills a
short time, I was cured"

simply ask for a kidney remedy-get

AUTO FATALITIES
-.- SHOW DECREASE
Government Report Based on Census
Figures Says Ratio of Acct
dents Has Grown Smaller.

During the five years from 1909
to 1914 the number Of automobiles
in use increased more than twice as
rapidly as the number Of fatalities
caused by them" says report issued
by the United States department of
commerce.
Comparing mortality figures given
In preliminary report by the bu-
reau of the census. with figures show
ing the number Of automobiles in use,
the department Of commerce shows
that, while the number of automobiles
registered increased from 100000 in
1909 to 1,750,000 at the end Of 1914,
or IT'S per cent, the number of deaths
from 632 in 1909 to 1928 in 1914, or
315 per cent, in an area containing
Sc percent of the population of the
country. Thus, automobiles have in
creased more than two and one-third
times as much in the five years as
the automobile fatalities.
A comparison based on the increase
in the rate of automobile fatalities
per 100000 poulation, which the re-
port states is a more reliable basis,
because the accidents in given area
of population will tend to be proper
tional to the number Of machines In
that area, shows that the increase Of
IT'S per cent in number of automo-
biles has been accompanied by an
increase of 258 per cent in deaths.
On this basis. the fatalities have in
creased only one-third as much as
the number Of vehicles.

ample justification for the conclusion
that the automobile today is being
driven with greater cars and more
regard for public safety than 1t was
