PAIN WITH SEVERE WOUNDS
10 Comparatively Little, Says Eminent
Surgeon. and Much Of Our Pity
10 Wasted.

An eminent army surgeon has said
that much OF our pity for the victims
or severe wounds on the battlefield is
In reality wasted He adds that the
terribly wounded suffer comparatively
little pain, and that men who are
wounded unto death pass away with
out undergoing much suffering.
Surgeons who have experience on
the war fields ought to know definite
ly concerning the amount of pain suf-
Iered by the variously wounded 1t is
known. OF course, off the battle line
as well as on 1t, that a comparatively
slight injury which involves the tear
ing of the flesh and the disturbance
OF the nervous system causes acute
pain. Nature. 1t is said, makes pro-
vision that the terribly injured shall
not suffer the agonies which ordinarily
are considered as the necessary ac-
compartment Of apparently cruel
wounds.
IL does not seem, however. as II IL
were exactly human to say that pity
for the terribly injured is wasted. The
pity is as much for the wound and for
ANheiS Ol Iue
as 1t is for the present pain. Stories
which come from laymen bear out,
however. the surgeons word that the
terribly hurt do not suffer much. at
least at the time OF the infiiction Of
the injury
One of the firemen on the Lusitania
had his right arm blown OF at the
shoulder either by an explosion in the

He kept himself snoat for nearly half

He has recovered. and he says
that he was hardly conscious Of pain

Found Simple Remedy

Mild Laxative Compound Carrects
Stubborn Case of
Constipation.

An important duty that devolves
on parents is the regulation Of their
children's bowels. Health in later
life depends in large measure on early
training and child should be taught
from infancy to regular habits.
When from any cause the bowel be-
comes congested with stomach waste
a mild laxative should be employed
to open up the passage gently and
carry off the congested- d-mass. A most
effective remedy for this purpose is
the combination of simple laxative
herbs known as DR.. Caldwel's Syrup
Pepsin. Mrs. w. ID. Bulls, of Reed,

DO THE PEOPLE WANT
BETTER ROADS?

II am in favor of good of
roads, but
And then he proceeds to make
some kind of an objection to
tnything that is proposed. Do
you think such a man is really
in favor of better roads? We do
not.
This country is going to stand
absolutely still until it begins
some systematic road inn
provememnt plan. Nay, it will
not stand still, it will go back
ward.
A plan is now proposed that
will not add any appreciable
taxation and calls for no bond is-
sue. 1t is a farmers road law
in that it originated and has
been used in farming states with
great satisfaction. 1t proposes
to have a commission composed
of one man from each township,
and thus each township will have
as much weight as any other. 1t
would be of great benefit to the
townships that do not include
towns and railroads and other
corporation property, for now
the outside township gets no
benefit from these. Under the
new plan all townships would
share alike.
Outside of general indifference
the only objection we have heard
to the plan is that it~puts The
chain gang on The county" The
chain gang has dwindled down
SO much that it is only question
of time when it will be discontin-
ued. If the new road board should
decide that it would not pay to
continue it they can have it alb
olished by the next Legislature.
This plan was proposed by a
committee from the Farmers
Union. 1t is unquesionably the
best thing that can be had now.
If it is allowed to fail by general
Indifference there is no telling
when any one else will take
enough interest to try anything
else. The county can have much
more than they are now paying.
The only question is, does any
one really give a durn whether
we have better roads or the
same old freaks of mud.-Mon-
roe Journal.

ZEPPELIN DROPS THREE AND A HALF
TONS OF BOMBS ON CITY OF PARIS

Then in all parts of the city
could be heard the whir of num-
erous aeroplane propellers, while
everywhere people went upon the
balconies to watch for Zeppelins.
Few Parisians appeared to be-
lieve the raiders were likely to
come, as they had been turned
back many times previously. But
suddenly in one of the north
eastern parts of Paris there was
a great flare in the sky as the Zep
pelin dropped an illuminate so
that it might be seen by those on
the airship whether they were
over the city. Then a bomb fell
into a street, crushing through
the subway and tearing a hole Is
feet in diameter, but injuring no
one. Quickly a series of other
detonations occurred. sounding
throughout the city.
One of the missiles fell on an
isolated house occupied by a sin
gle family. The building was BIZ
sected, one end being demolished
and its occupants hurled far out
into an open lot and killed. The
other end of the house was cut
off sharply and a bedroom on the
second floor was left intact with
Its occupants uniniured. The
floor was carried away under the
head of the bed, leaving the bed
balanced on the Jagged edge of
the ruins, with nine-year old
boy in it unharmed.
1T took us many years to
save enough to build that home,

the boy, "but it is all gone in

dirigible passed swiftly over a
section of Paris last night drop
ping about a dozen great bombs,
which killed "a persons and in
jured 27. Warnings were given
again tonight shortly before 10
o'clock and a second air attack
was momentarily expected by
the residents of the darkened
city.
The raid last night lasted
about one minute and half,
while in the first visit of Zeppe-
Inns to Paris on March 21, 1915,
four of these aircraft were over
or in the neighborhood of the
capital for nearly two hours
They came at that time under en-
tirely different atmospheric con-
ditions being plainly visible in a
clear sky. Last night the fog
seriously interferred with the
work of the Paris aerial guard.
The fact that only one German
machine appeared leads to the
belief that the Zeppelin was
making a reconnoitering trip and
the supposition is that the Ger
mans have in view similar oper-
alton on a larger scale.
Warnings of the presence of a
Zeppelin were hurriedly given
and lights Of Paris were dimmed.
At the hour of the raid theaters
and cafes were open and house
holders had hardly yet retired.
Almost all of the aeroplanes
guarding the city took the air
Immediately. These machines
fired 25 shots from a quick firer
at the invading craft which, pur-
sued by the little machines, sped
at top speed westward. Appar-
emily the bombs carried by the
Zeppelin were let loose indiscrim-
inately and without thought of
where they should strike.
One of the pursuing aviators
said the searchlights were use
less in the fog, he himself being
hardly able to see more than "a
feet above with the aid of his
light.
The Paris newspapers demand
that measures of retaliation be
taken Immediately.
Thirty French aeroplanes
searched the remote air regions
above Paris last night for a Yep
pelin raider, of whose appear
ance warning had been given. BY
the time it had reached the edge
of one of the old quarters of the
city, several of the airmen were
able to make out it's pale yellow

the numerous war planes rising
toward it, the Zeppelin wheeled

crowd at one time broke through
the police line and elbowed up to
the official car to get a near view
of the monster.
Altogeter a dozen bombs,
weighing about 600 pounds each,
were dropped.
None of the fatalities occurred
in the open streets, the majority
of the victims being killed in
their beds.
A fog of considerable density
hung over Paris at the time of
the raid.
President Poincare, who in
company with the military gov
ernor of Paris and prefect of po-

Discussing the defense against
the Zeppelin one Of the men who
participated said:
1T was not through lack of
foresight or lack of speed that
the aeroplanes were unable to
reach the hostile aircraft. The
fog was the real reason for the
German success. Last night it
covered Paris completely and the
searclights were unable to pierce
this wall. AS for the land artil-,
lery it was confronted with abso-
lutte invisibility, making it i'm
possible to fire.
"All the aeroplanes were put
into operation when the alarm
OF the presence of the Zeppelin
was given but only the aviators
OF the sector entered by the Zep.
plln were able to perceive it.
Even most of these got only a
glimpse as the Zeppelin was not
using searchlights. The avia-
tors in the other sectors were
able only to remain in the air and
guard their districts, which they
did for several hours"

EQUITY NEWS ITEMS

Mr.. R. w. Beighle of Velva, N. D.,
was on the South St. Paul market this
week with carload of hogs. Mr..
Beighle is stakeholder in the Equity
| Cooperative Exchange and is very
much pleased with the fact that the
farmers are going to handle their own
| livestock in the future. Mr.. Beighle's
next shipment will be handled by the
Equity Cooperative Exchange. Ac-
cording to Mr.. Beighle there are very
few hogs in the vicinity of Velva in
condition to market at this time, but
later in the fall there will be a num-
Der of shipments from that point.
After two-days' stay in St. Paul, Mr..
Beighle expresses himself as very

B. J. Carsten, secretary of the Equi-

prominent democrat from Ransom
county, North Dakota, were in St.
Paul Monday with livestock and while
here embraced the opportunity of
calling at the Equity Cooperative Ex-
change Office and visiting with the
general manager, J. G. Critics, and
cashier, Mr.. Blake, both Of whom are
old acquaintance and friends of
theirs. They both expressed them
selves very much in favor of the Live
Stock department which the Equity
Cooperative Exchange will open at
South St. Paul on October /, and Mr..
Prante made the prediction that his
next shipment Of stock would be
handled by the Equity.
On Monday, Sept. 10, the Equity
Cooperative Exchange had on track
at St. Paul 60 carloads Of grain. On
the same date year ago they had on
track but ten carloads. This is GER
tainly a great showing in the face Of
the poor crops in North Dakota, where
most of the shipments to the Equity
Cooperative Exchange have come
from in the past. Had the crop been
as large as it was last year, the Elk
change would have been swamped ir

it is, they are going to be able to care
for every bit of grain offered in very
