T. N. Vail For Chairman.

Congressman Frank l.. Greene is
not a candidate for election as dele
gate to the Republican national con-
vention. He says that while he recog-
nizes the fact that there may some
times be occasions when it would be
advisable to take some member of the
delegation at Washington who is par
ticularly fitted for such service, it
would still be wise general policy for
the state to make systematic bust
ness of making up such delegations
from men other than those represent
ing Vermont in congress. Accepting
Mr.. Green's position as correct We
would suggest T. N. Vail as chairman
of the Vermont delegation. Senator
Dillingham; and Senator Page have
both filled that position, and they
probably would not be averse to hay-
ing some other distinguished Vermont
er at the head of the states cohorts
this year-Brattleboro Reformer.

CHARITY WORK BEING =,
DONE IN BISMARCK

There are all kinds of charity
work and one kind that is not
being advertised is being done
in Bismarck by two young la
dies. They receive no pay and
spend from two to three hours
every night in the week doing
the good work. Their pay is til
enthusiasm and interest with
which their efforts are received.
These women conduct night
school at a private home and
eleven young. men between the
ages of Is and 81 are attending.
They have newer been able to
60 to school and could not now,
if. it were not, free. They are
learning the English. language
and may some day be counted
among the state 8 best citizens.
Ever though these women re-
ceive no compensation they
will never be forgotten by these
young men who realize that for
tune has knocked at their door.

Revival Probate
In Flax Industry
North Dakothn'a May Find,
Means To- Dispose of Flax
: Straw Profitably 7
THIS IS THE FLAX STATE
Considerable Straw was So1d
Here This Fall and Business
Will Grow

That there may be- a revival Of
the flax fiber industry in North
Dakota is indicated by the large
number of inquiries recently re-
ceived from different parts of
the East by Commissioner OF Ag-
ricultur Flint at Bismarck.
Some years ago there were a
number of flax mills established
in the state, the most pretent-
ious effort being at Fargo, where
it was planned to- convert flax
straw into fiber and ship the
latter to a central mill at Mia
CARA Falls for the manufacture
Of linen paper. Other plants
were established at Grafton, May
Vile, Wahpeton, FINLEY and else
where in the state. High freight
rates prevented the products
from being shipped East at a
profit.
North Dakota plants from
one-third to one-half the total
flax acreage Of the United States.
1t is planted exclusively for the
seed, hut the threshed straw
till POSSESSES many valuable
qualities. Whether finished
product for the manufacture of
linen goods or linen paper will
ever be- possible may depend on
future inventions for the hand
Ling Of these products, but the
straw, when converted into fiber,
does possess considerable value
Fer insulating and upholstery
materials and also for packing
purposes.
At present hundreds Of thou
sands of tons Of the straw are
entirely wasted. Commissioner
Flint believes the hyproducts will
some day become valuable as
he recently has had inquiries re-
garding flax &ber mills, requests.
for manufactured fiber and also
for straw. One car Of straw
recently was sent to European
country to te,t out a new inven-
ton by man who claims to be
able to manufacture flax thread
from threshed straw.

the lives and welfare Of every
citizen and child in this state.
If we can do for the farmer Of

that have been done to him; if
we can give him pay for what
he does; if we can secure legisla-
ton that will help him in dol
lars and cents; If we Gan help
him fight the battles that have
been unjustly waged against
him; if we can give him indust-
rial and political freedom, we
will be doing something that
will make North Dakota the.
banner state in the union, bring
settlers to our state without
cost, and assure them of de-
cent treatment and a fair chance
to make a living for themselves
nd their families. Government
has SO long been used for help
ing the few, that when it is
proposed to use the government
to help the many, it is thought
to be Socialism. Maybe. it, is.

The permanent regime in the Pam
anna Canal Zone, as compared with
the construction period, is we'll typi-
fled by the new administration build
ing on Balboa Heights. In the con-
struction days, everything was built
of frame, set on stills and Gagged in
wire screen. These houses were prac-
tical and comfortable for both office
and living purposes, but they were not
beautiful. Gradually, they are being
replaced by permanent structures of
concrete, finished in buff, with red
tiled roofs. This is the character of
the administration building. 1t is built
in the Italian Renaissance style, four
stories high, with a central portico
and two long LIS extending in either
direction.
1t is commandingly perched on a
lawn-covered hill, with a splendid view
of the blue green, tropical mountains,
reaching away to the misty distance
before it. But the view most favored
by old canal employees is from it's rear
entrance. There one may stand and
look across the busy shipping of Bal
boa docks and see the stacks and fun
nels of the great ocean-going vessels
as they steam through the canal to-
ward Pedro Miguel. To the men who
have labored through the years to see
this thing accomplished the sight is a
never-failing thrill.
Within the administration building
is as handsome as its exterior. There
are a number of mural paintings
which depict the more striking epi-
sodes of the construction period-the
days which form a glorious tradition
in the minds of all old canal employees.
If you would like to know all the
facts about the building and opera
tion of the great Ishmian waterway,

ment," both by Frederic J. Haskin.

DRESS WARM AND
KEEP FEET DRY
Tells Rheumatism Sufferers to
Take Salts and Get Rid
of Uric Acid.

Rheumatism is no respecter of age,
sex, color or rank. If not the most
dangerous of human Affections it is
one of the most painful. Those sub
ject to rheumatism should eat less
meat, dress as warmly as possible,
avoid any undue exposure and, above
all, drink lots of pure water
rheumatism is caused by uric acid
which is generated in the bowls and
absorbed into the blood. It is the
function of the kidneys to filter This
acid from the blood and cast it out in
the urine: the pores of the skin are
also a means of freeing, the blood of
this impurity. In damp and chilly,
cold weather the skin pores are closed
thus forcing the kidneys to do double
work, they become weak and sluggish
and fail to eliminate this uric acid
which keeps accommodating and circu-
lating through the system, eventually
settling in the joints and muscles
causing stiffness, soreness and pain
called rheumatism.
At the first twinge of rheumatism
get from any pharmacy about four
ounces of Jad Salts; put tablespoon
full in a glass of water and drink be-
fore breakfast each morning for
week. This is said to eliminate uric
acid by stimulating the kidneys to nor
NAL action, thus ridding the blood of
these impurities.
Jad Salts is inexpensive harmless
and is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon Juice, combined with lthia
and Is used with excellent results by
thousands of folks who are subject to
rheumatism. Here YOU have a pleas
ant, effervescent lithia- water drink
which overcomes uric acid and is bene-
fetal to your kidneys as well.-Adver-
tisement.
