How Forgetful!

Across the street at the postof1ice a
big bunch OF letters are accommodating
They bear two-cent stamps when &C
cording to the latest postal regulations
three cents are required. After all
The publicity about the matter in the
Times-Record (and everybody reads
the Times-Record) it seems strange
that people should forget to comply
with the rules and regulations of the
posto6lce department. This will cause
this mail to be sent back where it
bears return address, and in case
there is no return directions it must
be held. Not only will this cause de-
lay in transmission, but extra work in
large volume will be thrown upon
postoffice employees. All day so far
people have been bringing letters to
mail and asking for two-cent stamps.
The obliging clerks have headed off a
big lot Of thoughtless patrons, but
there seems to be large percentage
yet whose foresight is not as good as
their hindsight. II you are one Of the
forgetful stamp buyers, reform.

SOME READABLE VERSE
YESTERDAY AND TODAY

When was a boy I used to go
Across the fields, where an unseen FOE
Was waiting in amubsh to give me
fight
Oh, / was brave and my cause was
right. @
| carried gun that my daddy made,
And a sword as sharp as hero's
blade,
And deadly dagger that Bill Brown
found.
So I clattered away to- the battle
ground,
And i dreamed, as marched away tc
fame,
That the world would ring with my
d, mighty name!
My gun was made out of Whitfield
wood
That, take it, is understood
And had no bullets or powder flash
So to show the foe was a mans sized
task,
But the crouching enemy never knew
Twas a wooden gun with an aim I'M
true;
And when I'd march to the bloodless
fray,
He'd always scamper and hide away
You see, my name most took his
breath,
And he'd shudder and shake we'll nigh
to death:
Most every day would organize
A squad of soldiers about my size
Once there were five in my company
A goodly sight for the folks to see!
So did lead my daring band
To the hidden foes across the land
And Solly Wittig's old red drum
With a broken head-just made things
hum!
IT, there had been moving pictures
then,
Ere now you'd have seen by gallant
**
Today there marched along the street
Some bronze-faced boys with rhyth
mic feet;
1t took me back to the long ago,
When i marched to conquer bristline
fee,
And oh, wished I were marching, too
Under the brave Red, White and Blue!
l longed to go. But l had to stay
For my step is slow and my head is
gray, =.
So ! doffed my hat and sent forth a
prayer
For those stalwart boys who must do
- and dare.

ONE PRACTICAL WAY TO HELP

Duluth Herald: The two hundred
travelling men who at Bismarck have
voted not to patronize any hotel or
eating place that does not comply with
the directions of the food administra-
ton by having it's wheatless and meat
less days showed one very practical
way to help win the war.
If there is any hotel or eeating place
that refuses to do this simple duty,
the way to treat it is pointed out by
these loyal North Dakota travelling
men. .-.... .'..,.
We doubt very much if there is such
hotel or eating place; but it is very
certain that when this plan is gener.
ally adopted, as is should be, if there
are such places now there will not be
such places long.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

There is SO much that must be done
extra this year that one hardly knows
what to do first. But we must not for
get the needy work in our own land
and especially in our own city. If we
do not look after the poor in our own
bounds they will not be looked after.
This IS clearly our job.
The Associated Charities has been
organized to do this very thing. This
organization co-operates with all be.
neyolent societies in Valley City and
does away with neglect on the one
hand and duplication Of effort on the
other. AS the winter season approach

HELPING The KAISER


If you want TO kill more men.
Criticized!
If you want to kill more men
And prolong the war; why then
Knock the president again
Criticize!
II YOU hate humanity
Criticize!
Knock the plan to- build aircraft,
Start false rumors about graft,
Take a wallop at the draft
Criticize!
If you want Old Glory beaten
Criticize!
Give the war tax laws jar.
Howl about troops sent afar.
Be a coward, as you are
Criticize!
But if you're for the flag
Give yell!
Cheer the boys in khaki clad. d

TO smash the, kaiser, murder mad
Give him hell!

In a very interesting and instructive
discourse on the great value of plenty Of
iron in the blood, Dr.. Howard James, late
of the United States Public Health
Service, said:
"A patient of mine remarked to- me
CATER having been on a six weeks course
of Nuxated Iron):
Essay, Doctor, that there stun Is like
magic
Previous to using Nuxated Iron, 1 had
been prescribing the various mineral
salts Of iron for years, only to meet
complaints of discolored teeth, disturbed
digestion, tied up, hardened secretions,
ETC., when l came across Nuxated Iron,
an elegant ingenious preparation con-
tanning organic iron, which has no de-
structive action on the teeth-no cor
rosive effect on the stomach, and which
is readily assimilated into the blood and
quickly makes its presence felt by in
creased vigor, snap and staying power.
Iron Is absolutely neceSAry to enable
your blood to change fmHT into living
tissue. Without 1t. no matter how much
or what you eat, your food merely
passes through you without doing you
any good. You don't get the strength
out of 1t, and as consequence you be-
come weak, pale and sickly looking, just
like plant trying to grow in soil de-
f1cient in iron.
"As have said a hundred times over.
organic iron is the greatest Of all
take Nuxated Iron when they feel weak
or rundown, instead of dosing them
selves with habit-forming drugs, stimu-
lants and alcoholic beverages l am con-
WINGED that in this way they could ward
off disease, preventing 1t becoming or
ganic in thousands of cases and thereby
the lives Of thousands might be saved who
now die every year from pneumonia,
grippe, kidney, liver, heart trouble and
other dangerous maladies. The real and
true cause which started their diseases
was nothing more nor less than a weak
ened condition brought on by lack of iron
I'm the blood.
Thousands of people suffer from iron
deficiency and do not know II.
IF you are not strong or well, you
owe II to yourself to make the following
test: See how long you can work or how
far you can walk without becoming tired.
Next take two fve-grain tablets of Nux-
ated Iron three times per day after
meals for two weeks. Then test your
strength again and see how much you
have gained. From my own experience
with Nuxated Iron I feel 1t is such a
valuable remedy that 1T should be kept in
every hospital and prescribed by every
physician in this country"
DR.. e. Sauer, a Boston physician, who
has studied both in this country and
great European medical institutions,
was asked what he thought of Dr.
James remarks. In reply, he said: II

known throughout the north and the
south as "the granary of the Confeder-
acy." Throughout the war Georgia
practically fed the Confederacy. 1t
produced more corn. more oats more hay
and more meat-more foodstuffs, in fact,
for both man and beasr-than any other
state of the south. We had the great
est and most productive corn fields with
in our borders that were to be found in
the south. If in proportion with the
opportunity and present condition Of
Georgia, as compared with the Georgia
Of the Civil war period, we could take
rank as food producing state, our own
people would be enriched and the name
and fame Of Georgia would spread
throughout the nation as 1t did during
the trying times Of the Civil war.
The problem of foodcrops production
is not one to be dealt with by the farm
ers alone, but every business interest is
directly and vitality concerned; and the
business men of the state should get to-
gether with the Georgia chamber of
commerce and work out a plan Of CO.
operation between the farmers and tho
business interests Of the state that will
insure an abundant food crop this year.
Georgia should not only feed itself, but
out of bounteous harvest should help
to feed the rest of the nation"

BLACK-DRAUGHT
A SPLENDID REMEDY
Georgia Lady Says 1t Is Best
Remedy For Indigestion and

F. D. 2, this place, tells Of her expert
ence with Thedford's Black-Draught, as
follows: my mother and family have
always used Black-Draught as a liver
medicine, and believe it the best liver
medicine on the market.
We keep it in our family now, and
have ever since I can remember. 1t IS
splendid for sour stomach, torpid liver
and indigestion. I gladly recommend it
to my friends, as I feel it has saved me
doctors bills by using in time"
Thedford's Black-Draught has been n
use for seventy years in the treatment
Of stomach. liver and bowel troubles
and the popularity which it now en-
joys is proof of It's merit.
If your liver is not acting properly,
you may suffer from such symptoms a s
headache, biliousness, constipation, in
digestion, etc. and unless relief is OBJ
tanned. serious trouble may result.
Black-Draught has been found val
liable remedy in many OF such cases. 1t
is purely vegetable, and acts in a prompt
and natural way. helping to regulate the

there be a lawful search without a
search warrant? Is there any pro-
vision in the Georgia laws for the is
suance of a search warrant for any
other purpose than to authorize a
search for stolen goods?"
To this telegram Governor Harris
sent the following reply:
'Act just approved gives no power Of
search to officers in addition to that
prescribed in the general law. Know
of no other.
Sections 1925. 1926. 1927. 1929 and
1929 of the Georgia code all deal with
search warrants, but the warrants are
confined strictly to search for stolen
goods"
Before sending the telegram to Gov
ernor Harris, Sheriff Hicks held a con-
ference with Judge H. A. Mathews, of
the superior court, and Solicitor Gener-
al John P. Ross. of the Macon circuit,
and they both expressed the opinion
that officers would have no right to. en-
ter and search a place of business or a
residence without search warrant for
stolen goods.
