An Old Mans Stomach

AS we grow older and less active.
less and less food is required to meet
the demands of our bodies. If too
much is habitually taken, the stom-
ach Will rebel. When man reaches
the average age of So or so, you will
find that he is a light eater. Be as
careful as you will, however, you will
occasionally eat more than you
should and you will feel the need of
Chamberlain's Tablets to correct the
disorder. These tablets do not CON
tain pepsin, but strengthen the stom-
ach and enable it to perform its Sunc-
tons naturally. They also cause n

Mr.. Averill had not yet returned An
alarm was given and searching par
ties were sent out in all directions.
His skis, which he had abandoned,
were first found and day or two lat
er the remains were found about two
miles from the home Of the deceased.
The remains were taken to Hins-
dale, Mont, reaching there Wednes-
day morning, and were taken to the
Hinsdale undertaking establishment.
The remains will arrive in this city
Sunday evening and they will be ac-
companied to the old home, Ravenna,
Mich, by Mrs. Falconer, where they
will be laid to rest in the Slocum
Grove cemetery beside the remains of
the father and mother, who died many
years ago.
Emmett D. Averill was born on the
old Michigan homestead near Slocum
Grove, Muskegon county, forty-four
years ago. He resided there until Is
years ago, when he went to Chicago,
remaining for ten years. About four
years ago he came to North Dakota
and resided at Donnybrook for year,
when he went to Barr, Mont, filing on
his homestead. He spent considerable

Mr.. Averill was Of a retiring dispo-

a great reader and thinker. Mr.. Az
Grill was musician Of more than or
binary ability, and nothing gave him
greater pleasure than to entertain his
friends with the sweet harmonics Of
his violin.
He will ever be remembered by his

bereaved members Of the family have
the sincerest sympathy of their many

Mr.. Averill, who had been living on
his 320-acre homestead, four or five
miles from Barr, Mont, a postoffice
located off the main line of the G. N.
35 miles north of Hinsdale, Mont, had
gone to Barr on skis that afternoon

Dor. He made his purchases and the
weather appearing favorable, he
started for home about four o'clock.
He could not have made much pro-
gress over the deep SHOWS, when the
storm broke in all it's fury. That he
made a brave fight for life is evident
from circumstances determined by
the searchers. Neighbors presumed
that Mr.. Averill, who lived alone in his
house on the homestead, had returned
safely, but the neighbor who had sent
for the groceries, seeing nothing of
him after several days, visited the
Averill home and found the house
empty. 1t was seen at glance that

j. :. SOLDIERS
TO LEARN THRIFT
M'AdOO Bill Providing For Al
Iotment From Mems Pay
Approved by Wilson.
IrternatlonaI News Service .

AfltIudlluudl news ccfNlce.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 10. .- Com
pulsory thrift is TO be taught the
American soldier if Sec'y Of the
Treas. McAdoo has his way. The
plan of the secretary, which pro
vides for allotment of at least SIS
a month by members Of the Amer
lean army for the benefit of en-
dorsements. has been officially ap-
proved by Pres't Wilson.
The MoAdoo plan has been draft
ed into bill and will be presented
to congress shortly.
II provides for a minimum allot-
ment of SIS per month by each sol
dier with So a month additional for
each child.
In addition TO this allotment out
of the soldiers pay, the government
would give allowances ranging from
IS 10 $50 according TO the extent Of
the soldiers allotment and the num-
Der of children or dependent
parents. A private making a SIS
a month allotment will be further
aided by an allowance Of $3.50 per
months from the government, max
ing the total amount received by the
dependent family S4750. The al
lotments and the allowances scale
upwards in proportion.
Deposit With Government.
There is a provision under which
the soldier who does not allot half
OF his pay can be compelled 10 de-
posit the difference between what is
allotted and a full half with the gov
ernment. This deposit would bear
interest at four per cent and be
compounded semi-annually- The
purpose Of this is 10 enable the sol
dier to build up a fund for paying
insurance premiums and other obli-
cations.
The plan also includes compen-
satfon system in event OF total dis
ability amounting 20 from $40 TO So
per month. according TO size OF
family for the private soldier, up 20
5000 a month for officers. Partial
disability compensation is worked
out OF a percentage basis.
Pensions for dependents In the
event Of death are provided under
the plan. Sec'y McAdoo figures that
law providing these features would
cost the government for the first
year sI76.15O,O0O and S2S0. 10000
the second year.
