Majority of Three to One Votes
Down All Propositions Of
Anti-Unionists.
tsY Assee,Arso pssss,

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi. May 40
The Norwegian Lutheran Synod
meeting here in extraordinary ses-
sion tonight adopted by vote Of
about three to one the constitution
providing for union with the United
Norwegian Lutheran church and the
Hague's Northern Lutheran synod
The union constitution was put to q
Anal vote after the minority. which
sought to make certain changes In
the constitution. had been defeated
by an Overwhelming vote in their eff
forts to prevent adoption OF the
majority report Of the special COM
mittee recommending acceptance OF
the constitution.
Anti-unionists entered vigorous
protest over restriction OF
debate, but the union faction forced
the issue to final action by voting
down all motions intended to bring
about further delay.
Heated argument between the OPP
posing factions preceded the final
vote.
The United Norwegian Lutheran
church already has adopted the con-
stitution and the Hague's synod
will vote on 1t at a meeting next
month and II adopted the three
bodies then will meet and effect q
permanent union. There are 150.-
900 members of the Norwegian Lu-
theran Synod, 285,0o0 members Of
the United Norwegian Lutheran
church and 10000 members Of
Hague's synod.

made by the anti-unionists. It was
declared by leaders OF both factions
tonight, that such was unlikely.

SIXTH CA VALRY IS
GOING TO BIG BEND
Where Its Announced Objective
is to Reinforce the Bor-
der Patrol.

Ell PASO, Tex. May 20.-Move-
ment of the Sixth cavalry from Co
lumbus, N. NJ, to the Big Bend dis
trict, where its announced objective
Is reinforcement of the bordor patrol,
was begun tonight.
The censorship was clasped tightly
down at Columbus, but from officials
of the Ell Paso and Southwestern
railroad 1t was learned that loading
Of the troopers and their mounts on
four specia1 trains began this after
noon.
The first train out of Columbus left
for the East about inghtfall.
From Ell Paso the Sixth will be
transported to Big Bend over the Gal
weston, Harrisburg and San Antonio
railroad. The entire detachment
should detrain at Marathon, Tex, by
Monday morning. From there It
faces a ninety-tive-mile ride to Bo-
quillas, its point Of destination.
The fresh activity of the Columbus
censor was not clearly understood
here. Military observers conjec-
tured that 1t might have connection
with further movements northward
Of units of General Pershing's expe-
dictionary force. This belief was
strengthened by the announcement
Of General Gabriel -Gavira, Carranza
commander in Juarez that he had
been informed that large bodies OF
American troops were marching
northward past Casas Grandes. For
the last day or two 1t has been ru-
mored here that the tenth cavalry
was to be withdrawn from Mexican
soil and 1t was believed possible that
this regiment constituted the troops
referred to in General Gayira's re-
ports. although no confrmatory in
formation was obtainable.
Army men profess to see in the
new movements an intent more far
reaching than the mere strengthen
| ing OF the border patrol. It Is point
ed out that all the troops now scat
tered south OF Columbus to Colonia
Dublan and Namiauipa, are needed
to insure the safety OF General Perish
ing's command, which has been great.

giving the Belgian story as against the German.
 Even a secret press bureau has been set up at Brussels, which issues typewriter sheets comparing favor ably with those from the official press bureau at Paris and London. The editing is well done, showing that there must be capable men to gather the material and put it in shape. The sheets, mechanically, are even better than those issued at Paris and Lon don, showing there must be a large and first class duplicating process somewhere beyond the power of the Germans to discover.
 The Belgian officials themselves do not know how this work is done, and it is simply incomprehensible how all this editing, publishing, printing, cir culating, getting the requisite white paper and ink, drawing cartoons, en- graving and lithographing, and all the innumerable details of getting out newspapers, weeklys, books and press service, can be accomplished in secret with the German police straining every nerve and offering prices on the heads of editors. It takes courage and ingenuity to be an editor in Belgium under these con- ditions.

BUILD UP YOUR BLOOD

It is hopeless task to try to restore your health while your blood is def- cient in quantity or quality.
 The blood circulates throughout every portion of the body except the hair and nails. 1t takes the nourishment from the food and distributes it to the various muscles and organs; it takes also any medication that is administer ed through the mouth. The blood is the only means by which medicine can reach the nerves. If the blood is thin it's carrying capacity is lessened because it is the red corpuscles in the blood that carry oxygen and other needed constitu- ents to the various parts of the body.
 Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People increase the red corpuscles in the blood. They enable it to absorb more oxygen, to carry moro life and strength to the weakened organs. In any disease in which the patient be- comes thin and pale Dr. Williams Pink Pills can be used successfully to con- bat the anemia and build up the health and strength.
 ''Building Up the Blood'' is book let, full of good information. Every mother and every growing girl should have one. It is sent free on request by the Dr. Williams Medicine Go. Schen- ectady, N. Y. Your own druggist sells Dr. Williams Pink Pills. Price 50 cents.

and grocery windows filled with food stuffs he had seen scarcely a sugges- tiOn of in Germany for many months, and the restaurant bills of fare also served as pleasant reminders of ante bellum days when the German restau- rants, as much as those of any couH- try, were prepared to supply a great variety of foods.
 Germany is not starving and there is no fear there that it will, but the people are doing without far more things than they realize, having be- come so gradually accustomed to the loss or curtailment of certain edlbles. Bacon-which the correspondent had not seen in Germany in months-is plentiful here, of course; butter lard and olive oil, seen in the grocery shops, offered a really irresistible ap- peal to one who had scarcely known them for so long. There were d1f- ferent cuts of pork; the correspond ent had had a small portion of pork twice in three months He found many kinds of bread, while the only kinds he recently knew were rye mixed with potatoes and wheat mixed with rye. There was real coffee, which one cannot obtain even in the best hotels or millionaires' homes In Germany.
 Real French-Fried Potatoes.
 The taste of French-fried potatoes was almost a new thing, for no Ger man household has enough fat to per init indulging in this luxury. With baskets of bread on the tables in ho- tels and restaurants, and no bread card required as a condition precedent to partaking 1t seemed almost 1r- regular and even wasteful. An or der for maccaroni brought quantity greater than household of two per sons can obtain in Berlin for a whole week. A single order of cold meats contained more than the amount al- lowed per capita in Germany for a week.
 What, then, it may be asked, are the Germans eating? The answer is: bread, potatoes and other vegetables one-half pound of meat weekly when it can be obtained, and fish, canned, fresh and smoked. The disappear ance of the egumes--lentils, peas and beans-has been especially felt by the poorer people. A few beans and peas are occasionally to be had, but
New Britain herald., 1916-10-06

only a negligible quantity. LentilS, of which the Germans were very fond, disappeared in the first weeks of the war.
 On this food, if it can be obtained, one cannot starve, but the poorer people, who either get nothing but potatoes and bread or who do not know how to make the most of what they do get, complain of the monotony of the fare and that they are continn- ally hungry. A number of women of this class, some weeks ago, made small demonstration in front of the city hall of one of the municipalities
