theory Of the duty of reducing the
damages, If on no other. Is she pre-

1t Is the courts duty to locate and to

Is or should be the law. The ques-
ton rs to whether she unnecessarily
and unreasonably exerted herself is
certainly one which, under the circum-
stances Of the case, the jury, and not
the court, should have passed upon.
The farm was her home. Part of the
personal property and clothing in the
house must certainly have belonged
to her. The woman was alone On the
prairie with her little girl of some -
years Of age. She was In charge OF
the farm, even If she did not own It,.
1t was her home. If one lives in a
rented house, is he precluded from
fighting a fire which threatens it
merely because he does not own the
building. and has a married woman
who has homestead interest in her
husbands property any lesser rights?
Must and should the wife OF home
steader. who is left alone at home
with her children upon the prairie
while her husband is away earning his
daily bread. sit idly by and allow her
home and all that the family possesses
to be reduced to ashes, merely because
the fee title to the property is in the
name OF her husband? Was the poet

WHEN SHOULD ONE
STOP FIGHTING FIRE?
Question Of Over-exertlon IL Raised In
Decision by North Dakota
Court.

Are injuries from over-exertion in
quenching fire recoverable? A novel
question Is raised by the defense in
Wilson " Northern Pac. Ry. Co., re-
Gently decided by the supreme court
of North Dakota. Plaintiff was injured
in attempting to quench flre on
premises in which she had a home
stead interest. The defendant railroad
company sued for personal injuries.
claimed that plaintiffs injuries were
the result of over-exertion.
In holding that the question was
one for the jury, the court stated:
"A reasonable effort to save ones
property and to combat prairie fire
is certainly proximate result of such
fire and of the original negligence
which occasioned it. The
fighting OF the fire was therefore the
proximate result Of the fire. Was
over-exertion in so doing proximate
result Of such fighting, or did con-
tributory negligence necessarily in
tervene at the moment proper exer-
'tion ceased and over-exertion began ?
Plaintiff could certainly recover dam

WHlard's Size and Moran's Punch
About Offset Each Other In the
Eyes Of tho Fighting
Public.
THE SEAT SALE Is LARGE
Several Additional Thousand Pour
Into Golfers Of tho Promoters
Kid Mccoy Lamps
Champion.

United Press Leased Wire Service
NEW YORK, March 22.-With both
fighters practically ready for the bell,
the dopesters began to speculate in
earnest today on proper odds for the
Willard-Moran battle Saturday night.
When the fans note Wizards size
and speed he looks like prohibitive
favorite, but then comes the memory
of the well known kick Moran car
ries and with the possibility in mind
that he will make a cut and slash
fight of it, the Willard enthusiasm
wanes.
Willard, the fans figure, has little
to gain in the fight except the rich
stake and that Is guaranteed in adj
vance. The championship, however,
is worth real cash and with that at
stake they figure he g likely to be a
bit chary about mixing with Moran
and this reduces Franks chances of
getting over knockout.
Kid Mccoy watched the champion
work yesterday and at the finish pro-
nounced him one of the greatest
heavyweights the world has ever
seen. ihe seat sale, $115,000 at the
close of business last night, jumped
several additional thousand today,
practically assuring a capacity house.

Says Indigestion Results from an Ex-

Acid

Undigested food delayed In the

| says a noted authority. He also tells
us that Indigestion is caused by
Hyper-acidity. meaning, there is an
excess of hydrochloric acid in the
stomach which prevents complete d.
gestfon and starts food fermentation.
Thus everything eaten sours In the
stomach much like garbage sours in

which initiate the stomach like a toy
balloon Then we feel a heavy, lumpy
misery in the chest, we belch up gas,
we eructate sour food or have heart

He tells us to lay aside all digestive
aids and instead, get from any phar-
macy four ounces of Jad Salts and
take a tablespoonful in glass of
water before breakfast and drink
while it Is effervsscing and further
more, to continue this for q week
While relief follows the first dose, it
is important to neutraliZe the acidity.

Washing Won't Rid
Head OF Dandruff

The only sure way to get rid of dand-
ruff /. to dissolve it, then you destroy it
entirely. To do this, get about four
ounces of ordinary liquid arvon apply it
at night when retiring; use enough to
moisten the scalp and rub it in gently
with the finger tips.
Do this tonight, and by morning most
If not all of your dandruff will be gone,
and three or four more applications will
completely dissolve and entirely destroy,
every single sign and trace of it, no mat
ter how much dandruff you may have.
You will find, too, that all itching and
digging of the scalp will stop at once,
and your hair will be fluffy, lustrous,
glossy, silky and soft, and look and feel
a hundred times better.
You can get liquid arvon at any drug

LITTLE TALKS ON THRIFT
BY S. w. sTRAUs
Anraert dmeriean SoejGr for TArjf

schools Of Chicago have saved $780,
1920 in the last twenty months
Through these children the school
savings bank system has been
brought to higher stage of develop
ment In Chicago than in any other
city in the country. Since the first
bank was established in April, 1914.
until December 81, 1915, accounts
have been opened by WIS pupils.
There are now 7,S43 accounts, many
pupils having graduated. As soon a:
they have saved SIS in the school
banks they open a personal savings
account in a local bank. They have
$15,061 from the school
banks to regular banks in Chicago.
These pupils, it is safe to predict
having been taught how to save. al-
ways will save.
II is difficult for those to save who
have not been in the habit or saving.
Perhaps the best way TO teach thrift
to such as these is to induce them to
save for some special purpose. They
thus acquire the habit of saving.
The population of continental
United States is more than 100000.
| 900. If each of these 100000 would
save 10 cents a day for one year We
should have 5000. 100000. After the
war we will probably be the money
llending nation Of the world. There's
fore it will be wisdom on our part ia
get ready for the time when the rest
of the world will come to borrow.

When the schools teach the pupils
how to save money, time and health
as they teach other branches OF learn
ing, when the subject becomes a regu-
lar part of the school course. we shah
have started right.
Some one has said that when the
American people become as efficient
in saving money as they are in MAX
ing It, then indeed will this become
re-eminently the richest nation, per
capita, on the face of the earth.
Nothing would so benefit the whole
country as to bring up generation
of thrifty workers and savers. The
future then would take care of itself.
A beginning has been made in this
direction through the sch"~ savings

BERLIN. March 22.-The United
Press was authorized by high Ger
man official today to deny the rumOr
that German intrigues were respon-
sible for troubles OF the United States
in Mexico.
That report is quite untrue" the
official said. Germany recognized
Carranza because it was necessary to
have some one in Mexico to deal with
Your government. and think England
recognized him, so we had nothing
against such action.
I've have no interest in causing
trouble in Mexico, but because Ameri-
ca Is chiefly Interested there, we left
matters of policy to Washington
. "Germany's policy in Mexico is the
same as in other countries-peace
and ordar as soon rs possible"
