HIS SON KILLED IN FRANCE
Prophetic Words of George F. Weeks

George F. Weeks of Occur d'Alene
who delivered a patriotic address
here early in the Red Cross member
ship drive in which he referred feel
ingly to his son who was with the
Canadian troops in France, has re
ceived word that his son, Major
Forest Weeks, was killed at Vimy
Ridge June 6, while in action. The
report states that a bullet entered
his forehead, killing him instantly.
He was buried at Villiers station,
the military cemetery in France.
Major Weeks was 80 years of age
and had resided in Canada several
years, engaged in farming. He en-
listed early in the war.
Those who heard Mr.. Weeks pa
triotic address here will recall his
tribute to his son and the cause for
which he laid down his life. The
father said:

Have Public Service Reserve

Harley S. Cave, county engineer,
is a member of the United States
Public Service Reserve and is subject
to the call of the organization Tor
service either in the United States or
abroad in the war zone whenever
such services may be needed.
The U. S. Public Service Reserve
is composed of men in all callings
of life who have been specially
trained for the work they are doing.
In most cases the names of these
men are obtained from the alumni
lists of the colleges of the United
States. Members are requested TO
give complete information of what
work they have done and the amount
of experience gained since they grad
uated from college and they are also
required to pledge themselves to re-
spond to any call made for their
services.
Through the U. S. Public Service
Reserve the government will be able
to get a line on any class of skilled
labor or professional services in the
shortest possible time. Just at this
time when so many men of the engi-
neering profession are in Eurone the
government is finding itself handi-
capped to get sufficient men for SER
vice in the United States. The Pub
lie Service Reserve will, in the fut-
ure, eliminate this difficulty.

Chamberlain's Tablets

When you are troubled with indi-
gestion or constipation, take Cham
berlain's Tablets. They strengthen
the stomach and enable it to perform
its functions naturally. Indigestion
is usually accompanied by constipa-
ton and is aggravated by it. Cham
berlain's Tablets cause a gentle
movement of the bowels, relieving
the constipated condition.
