POISON ATTEMPT AT
HAWLEY IS SUSPECTED
Reported Action of Mysterious Man
Takes sheriff 10 Eastern Clay
County Town for Inquiry.

Report of an attempt to poison the
water supply at Ulen reached Sheriff
Dan w. Mcdonald at 9 o'clock Thurs
day night. After several deputies and
several people OF Ulen had run down
the reports, there appears to be little
reason for the poison scare. To be
certain that there was no poison used,
a sample of water from the stockyard
we'll was sent to the chemist of tce
North Dakota Agricultural college for
analysis.
The report came from two lads, Roy
Colewell and Oscar Hellum, each
about II years OF age. They were
Playing near the M2Ethern h PafihS
o'clock yesterday afternoon. and saw
a strange man in the yards. They
claimed that he drew the water from
the troughs in the yard and took
in the well. 1t is also reported that
someone went down into the woods,
at the edge of the village, where
there was a camp fire, and a strange
man ran away. The boys did not say
anything about the things they claim
to have observed until o'clock last
evening.
The strange man was reported to
have left for the south, and a man
answering the description was re-
ported to have been seen at Hitterdal
about 6 o'clock last night. The man
is reported to be of medium build,
about 80 years old and dressed in
blue serge coat, khaki pants and
brown cap.
Dep. Sheriff George Mcdonald went
to Hawley as soon as the report was
received, and Dep. Henry Asleson,
Ulen, followed the mans trail to Hit
terdal. Several searching parties were
out during the night and the best in
formation obtainable is that the man
who answered the description came
west on delayed No. from Manitoba
Junction yesterday afternoon.

A DREAM WITHIN A DREAM.

And, in parting from you now,
Thus much let me avow-
You are not wrong, who deem
That my days have been a dream;
Yet If hope has flown away
In a night, or in a day,
In a vision, or in none.
Is 1t therefore the less gone?
All that we see or seem
Is but a dream within a dream.
/ stand amid the roar
OF a surf tormented shore.
And / hold within my hand
Grain of the golden sand
How fewl yet how they creep
Through my fingers to the deep.
While / weep-while / weep!
o God! can not grasp
Them with a tighter clasp?
o God! can / not save
One from the pitiless wave?
Is all that we see or seem
But a dream within a dream?

Red Cross Makes Appro-
priation for Relief of
Armenians and Syrians

Washington, Sept. 7.-Acting upon
the recommendation Of the Red
Cross committee on cooperation,
headed by G. A. Conn, the Red Cross
War Council has appropriated $780,
coo for relief work in the near east,
through the American committee for
the Armenian and Syrian relief. This
is the second appropriation Of $780,
600 to the Armenian relief commit
tee.
Owing to the position taken by the
Turkish government, the American
committee for Armenian and Syrian
relief is the only American organize
ton authorized to carry on any kind
of relief activities in the Ottoman
empire. In no theatre. of the war
have populations experienced greater
suffering than in Armenia, Palestine
and the Caucasus.
The American committee has been
able to carry succor to the stricken
people in these territories through
the efforts of American, Swiss,
Swedish and Danish missionaries.
Nearly 100 of these men are now
stationed throughout Asia Minor
supervising the distribution of sup
plies. Three commissioners super
wise the work, serving without pay
and bearing their own expenses
abroad. .#5.
One of the main branches Of the
committees activities, to which the
Red Cross is lending its support, is
the training of women and children
among the refugees to be self-sup-
porting. Boys are being taught
handicraft and building trades, while
many of the women are being sup
piled with wool and taught how to
fashion it into garments for the chill
dren.
Estimates laid before the Red
Cross by the American committee,
show that there are more than. two
million people in western Asia whose
death can be prevented by direct and
continued help from America. The

WAR CREDIT
BILL PASSED
BY THE HOUSE
No Material Amendments
Have Been Added To
That Measure
FUTILE FIGHT FOR
WAR COMMITTEE
Authorizes Bonds and Ger
tiicates To The Amount
of $11,538, 945, AGO
(By Associated Press.)


Washington, Sept. THE great
war credits bill authorizing $685.
945,46O in bonds and certificates
passed the house last night unani-
mously. Action by the senate as soon
as the pending war tax bill is dis
posed of, is planned by administra-
ton leaders. Not a material amend
ment was added to the bill by the
house.
Representative Moore of Pennsyl-
vania led a group OF Republicans in
a futile fight for war expendi-
lures committee.
Every effort of Republicans to
limit the control the bill would
give Secretary McAdoo over the
bonds and certificates resulted in
failure.
The last fight made by Represen-
tative Johnson of Washing ION to di-
rect the secretary to spend at least
$2,500,000 for. newspaper advertising
in disposing of the bonds was defeat
ed overwhelmingly.
If the secretary desires, under the
measure, he may use in newspaper
publicity some of the SIT, 100000 ap-
propriated for disposing of all the
bonds and certificates.
Representative Cannon of Illinois
obtained adoption of a compromise
amendment to exempt from taxation
forever interest on bonds not in ex-
cess of $4,000. He wanted to make it
$4,000 but Democratic Leader
Kitchin would not agree.
The bill authorizes the issuance of
$,538, 945, AGO wolff of convertible
four per cent bonds subjC ct to super
taxes and war profits taxes, and to
terminate at the discretion of the
secretary of the treasury. OF this to-
tai $4,000, 100000 worth is for a new
allied loan; $4,000. 100000 worth to
take over a three and a half per
cent issue already authorized and
the remainder for converting GER
tain outstanding bonds, including
the Danish West Indies, Alaskan
railway, Panama canal and naval
construction issues.
Issuance also is authorized of not
more than 100000, QUO worth of
certificates of indebtedness and war
savings certificates to run not more
than one year and five years, re-
spectively at rates of interest to be
fixed by the secretary of the treas
ury. These issues are to be subject
to the same taxes as the bonds.
The bill provides that foreign
bonds, taken in exchange for loans,
shall not be sold at less than the
purchase price.

Keeping Your Bows Fit.
BY DIR. LORNE A. SUMMERS.

Director or Armour Gymnasium.
1t should be the desire of every
mother to have her children grow up
to be strong and healthy, for without
Health one cannot enjoy the best
there is in life. The Ladder of Sue
cess can be climbed much easier with
a strong, healthy, robust body.
The greatest factor in the building
Of a boys character is the home in
fiuence and guidance Of his mother
in the early period of his life. There
fore, it is the duty of every mother
to devote time to the question OF how
she can better the conditions and
environment which surrounds the
boy in his early life. Nature has
provided every one with the essen
tials necessary to build vigorous man
hood and these natural elements are
food, air., sunshine, water and exer-
else.
After examining a large number Of
boys l have come to the conclusion
that there is an urgent need on the
knowledge Of the proper preparation
and selection of the food necessary
for the growing boy. 1t has been my
pleasure to train boys and men of
all ages and l have paid particular
attention to the subject of diet, not
from the theoretical, but from the
practical get results" standpoint.
A diet for the growing boy should
be one which supplies all the neces-
sary food elements, at the same time
placing the least possible strain on
the digestive organs. The habiJual
eating of indigestible food will lead
to almost any disease. The safeguard
Of the body against disease is the
vitality. The constant eating of ~
digestible foods is one of the quick
est ways of reducing the vitality.
Great care should be taken by the
mother to serve the food in the prop
er combinations not from the stand
point of how they look but rather how
they will affect the stomach. For in
stance, / have found that a large
number of mothers are trying to build
healthy boys on a diet Of white rolls
and coffee for breakfast. These boys
on examination show general run
down condition and lack the red
blooded spirit boy should have. An
other case was a young man who
was suddenly taken i'll from what was
first thought to be epilepsy, but on
careful examination was found to be
an acute affection Of the central ner-
vous system, caused by trying to
build health on a diet, such as fried
pork, pie and coffee for breakfast.
Now, while the mother dearly loved
her boy, she certainly was the means
of paving the way for this boys flu
ture sickness, as her knowledge of a
strong, vigorous boy was practically
nil.

To the undisturbed pillow and
