PROPER FOOD FOR
WEAK SToMAcHS

The proper food for one man may be
all wrong for another. Every one
should adopt diet suitable TO his age
and occupation. Those who have
weak stomachs need to be especial
careful and should eat slowly and
masticate their food thoroughly. 1t is
also important that they keep their
bowels regular. When they become
constipated or when they feel dull and
stupid after eating, they should take
Chamberlain's Tablets to strengthen
the stomach and move the bowels.
They are easy TO take and pleasant in
effect.

NORTHERN FIRE AND
MARINE INSURANCE
TROUBLES NOT OVER
Question of Right of Company to
Cancel Reinsurance It AS
..~ .-.--. sumed Now Up -

The troubles of the defunct North
ern Fire & Marine Insurance com
pany of Grand Forks continue to oc
cupy the attention of the state insur.
ance commission. The business of
the Northern Fire G Marine for the
protection of policyholders was rein.
sured in the Bankers & Merchants
Insurance company of Minneapolis,
the contract running to October 20,
1917. At that time the Northern con-
tends it contracted with the Bankers
& Merchants for continuous reinsur'
ance. Now the Minneapolis company
has cancelled this business, arguing
that it's agreement with the Northern
Fire & Marine was merely verbal
understanding which never was rati-
fled.
"A hearing before the state insur-
ance commission was held this week,
when the Bankers & Merchants pre-
scented it's side of the controversy.
What the Northern Fire g. Marine has
to say about. the matter will be learn
ed later, when Assistant Attorney
General H. A. Bronson pays visit
to Grand Forks Thefattorney gener-
ais Office holds that the Bankers e.
Merchants has no right to cancel. At
torneys for the company contend they
have every night, inasmuch as they
found it impossible to collect pre-
NUNS on the business covered.

New York, June: 7.-Freight from as
far west as Duluth, Minn., can now be
carried all: the way TO- New York j,
water, with the completion Of the New
York state barge. canal, rival Of the
Panama as one Of the greatest en-.
ginccring feats In the world,
The canal, from Buffalo to ALBANY
is built over the route of the old Erie
canal and links the lakes with the
Hudson river. 1t is said to afford
easier, cheaper and swifter transporta-
ton than the railroad.
1t cost the people of New Yorl,
$154, 100000 to build it, but authorities
expect this will be repaid soon BY
the increased transportation Of grain
and ore to New York, at low rates,
making New York city the greatest
grain and ore export center in the
country. ,.....S
Traffic from the lakes will be divert
ed from the Canada route, through the
Welland canal and the St. Lawrence
to the new canal at about 100000
tons a season.
Large canal boats, driven by elec-
tricity, will be adapted to sail the
lakes and the. Hudson river, So the
route from Duluth to New York would
be direct. 1t is estimated the sail of
500 miles, from. Buffalo to New York
will take about three days and a half.
BY rail the run for freight takes about
five. days. .:$. ~.

COUNTY
REGISTRATION
WAS COMPLETE
Few Instances Reported Where
Men Failed to Sign Up Tues
day for Service

Linton, N. D., June 7.-Reports yes
terday from the various registrars in.
dictate that there are only rare in
stances OF men refusing to register
or failing to show up. In Emmons
burg it is believed one man failed to
appear because his father would not
let him go, Exeter reports four who
failed. Marie is said to have had a
couple who answered the questions
but. refused to sign the card. They
were given no receipts.
Lists of the few who failed are be.
ing prepared by the auditor, and
these men will soon hear from the
authorities.
For some days past there has been
much discussion as to what the de-
velopments would be locally when
registration day rolled, around. On
every corner one could hear fellows
telling about how many wouldn't obey
the law, men who would rather serve
time in Jail than in the army, etc.
However, it seems in nearly every in
stance that it was the other fellow"
that intended not to present himself.
In Linton every available man who
resides here presented himself before
Registrar Chas. b. Carley for regis
trati0n, except II. c. Lynn and A. d.
Tough, who went to Canada some
days before conscription went into eff
feet. And, in Linton, practically cv-
cry man was registered by the middle
of the afternoon.
Many precincts ran shy of cards
and makeshift blanks were fixed up
by the registrars in every instance.
The registry of persons aged Il to
30, inclusive, in Linton of the selec-
tive draft showed go. The returns
from the county today shows S43 with
Hague to hear from.

Tact in Conversation.

Tact is an important quality in con-
versation. This subtle instinct is not
possessed by everyone. 1t may be at
tanned by quick judgment and intelli-
gence, by observing the mistakes OF
others and profiting by them, by seeing
small changes of manner, or the pass
ing expression of face. 1T tells one
what subjects will he agreeable ana
what must be observation-disclosures.

Cost Of transportation between
these two points by rail is 5 cents
Il buslel Of grain. BY canal it
will be ? or ? IL cents.
The most remarkable piece of en-
cheering on the canal is series of
locks near Waterford. Here boats
are lifted 1863 feets by five locks, a
distance only one foot less than twice
the total lift of the Panama canal
locks.
The whole canal is worked by cleo
tricity. 1t has been estimated the
time saved in lockage by electricity,
the increased speed of the boats and
their larger size will increase the ca
pacity of the canal Is times.
The Erie canal was begun. in 1925,
under Gov. De Witt Clinton, and call
ed in derision "Clinton's Big Ditch"
Towns sprang up along it's route, set
tiers. moved west and prOspercd
through increased transportation ia
cilities brought by the canal. 1t
made New York the commercial cent
err of the country.
Construction ofthe arilrOad was a
blow to canal traffic. but the canal
still brought in a fair-siZed revenue
to the state and profit to the shippers.
Although the new canal is expected
to draw to it freight from the Canada
route and the railroads, authorities
say transportation by rail will be
maintained without loss to the roads.

TAX ON VALUE, LANES PLAN
TOT CATCH WEALTHY SLACk[RS
No One Entitled What He Doesn't USE His Slogan Drastic
Measures Required to Meet U. s Demand for Money

These are not the chief reasons,
however, which have turned attention
of congress to. unused lands.
Just now it is a question of making
speculative land values bear their
share of the war burden. .. ...
Incomes and war profits are being
taxed, transportation is being taxed,
housing, clothing and food-every-
thing that enters into the cost of liv-
ing-is being taxed
And still government revenues are
not enough to meet the interest and
sinking fund to pay off the 1000 ,000,-
900 war bond issue.
More money must be had. Why
not tap the greatest reserve in the
world, the speculative value Of UNI
used land?
There is no question as to the right
Of the government for war purposes
to go after this source of revenue. A
nation struggling to continue exist
ence as a nation may do things which
could not be done in normal peace
times. e. -,< 49, i~ =
During the civil war income taxes
were levied with publicity feature)
and no case ever was taken to the
supreme court. Congress could tax
unused land values at this time with
out fear of legal controversy.
1t probably will be, necessary to
frame such a tax as this in order to
induce capital to take its share of the
liberty loan issues
At present surplus wealth is show
ing a disposition to avoid the low rate
investments of the patriotic war bonds
and seek higher profits by putting
money into land holdings in the be-
lief that the sale value 10 or 20 years
hence will be the equivalent of
much higher rate Of interest than the
3 or 4 per cent to be earned by loan
ing the money to the government.
A tax on such investment would tend
to drive capital into more patriotic
uses.

Washington, June S.-'That the land
Spectator should bear his, share Of
the war tax burden is an opinion grow
ing in administration circles. Frank.

has come out flat.fOOtediy for putting
q tux on their speculative value. So
has Carl vroomaI, assistant secretary
Of agriculture.
mo one is entitled to that which
lie does not use"
This statement by Secretary Lane is
becoming a popular slogan. Lane has
tried to- force into use the privately
owned land in the various reclama-
ton projects
"These lands" said Lane, "are not
public lands, they belong to private
owners, but if the latter do not utilize
their property the time may not be
far off when national needs will re-
quire confiscation and government
cultivation"
This idea has been formally en-
dorsed by c. V. Kegley, master of the
Washington State grange and by farm
ers' organizations lin North and South
Dakota, Montana and Minnesota in
Guiding the Farmers Non-partisan
league.
The patriotic campaign to raise
enough crops to win this war has
brought out the fact in the United
States nearly half the available land is
unused because it Is held by private
owners for speculative purposes.
Speculation keeps out Of use, b.
not only city l1tS, but growing
land on the continent. There are
approximately d billion acres Of
land which can he cultivated In :
the United States. OF this amount
43O, OOO. 900 acres held in private
ownership are regularly left bar. =
rem and untitled.
If this were public land, open to use
by any man willing to work it, much
OF it would be worked there would
be less unemployment and the pro-
ducts of land would be cheaper.

Lehman is in Jail and is being watch
