Washington, Nov. 30.-Brewing OF
beer and other malt beverages will

the United States.
Washington. Nov. 30.-Whether thu
brewing Of beer shall stop tomorrow
was taken up today by a special presi-
Dental committee under resolution
adopted several weeks ago that the
manufacture of beer be stopped Decem-
Der /. With the signing Of the arms
tice came clamor for removing the
ban from beer but it is impossible to
say what action the majority of the
committee will take. The action Of the
committee in Sllspending brewing was
taken to save fuel transportation ami
food products.
Fuel Administrator Garfield now is
ready to lift the ban as to fuel, and the
demands on the transportation systems
no longer are such as to make further
conservation necessary in that direc-
ton. The matter now resolves itself
entirely into a question Of food. Food
administration officials hold that to
permit continuation Of brewing a new
proclamation will be necessary.

TO REOPEN FOR
WORK MONDAY

The surgical dressing rooms of the
Burleigh county Red Cross chapter
will reopen in the Masonic temple
Monday, when it is requested that all

FARMER PLANTS
SAY THEY GET
& WORST OF IT

North Dakota farmers elevators see
something radically wrong in the ma.
tional railway administrators sys.
TEN Of distributing grain cars. Farm
ers' elevators, in complaining to the
state railway commission, declare that
they are dong the bulk of the business
in their territory and that their plants
are loaded to the caves with grain. In
spite Of this fact, the farmers C. in.
old line elevators with comparatively
little grain to ship, receive ar equai
number of cars. The result has been.
say the farmers, the closing of their
houses while awaiting cars, with an
incidental loss Of business alih the
discommOding ct their customers.
,,The state railway commission il re.
forringatall these complaints through
the usual channels. but it. isgpac'
ommending that the old plan Of adis
tributing cars according to grain
available for shipment zoe reinstatel to
overcome this abuse.

l have hip boots, four pairs of
shoes, five suits of underwear,
three suits, overcoat and heavy
raincoat; nice place to sleep; have
a sheetiron stove right beside my
cot. 1t does not look as if they
had much winter here; grass is
green. 1 get paid in French money

this sheet of paper. They have l.
cent, 2-cent, and scent pieces; the
5-cent pieces have square hole in
the center; then they have 20-cent
and Accent pieces. When I receive
my pay, which is due in few days,
l will send you an Xmas present Of

I will close. Hope hear from you
soon. AS ever,
Your loving brother,

CHURCH UNITY OCTAVE


The Catholic church will observe
again this. year, as she has in past
years, the Octave beginning January
18, The Feast of the establishment of
the Chair of St. Peter at Rome, and
closing January 25, the Feast of the
Conversion Of St. Paul, as an octave
of prayer, pleading with Almighty
God to reunite the Christians through
out the whole world. This year many
Protestant denominations are uniting
their petitions with ours during this
octave Of prayer for Church Unity as
we learn from the following words of
a letter to our Rt. Rev. Bishop
Schrembs from Mr.. Robert H. Gar
diner, General Secretary of the Prot
estant World Conference on Faith and
Order:
al take this occasion to inform
your Lordship that we are trying to
secure the observance of the Octave
from January 18, the Feast of St. Pc
ter's Chair at Rome, to January rs,
the Feast of the Conversion of st.
Paul, as a season of special prayer
for unity. We have selected this oc-
tave because His Holiness had COM
mended it to Roman Catholics last
year, and we have addressed an Off
cial communication to the Secretary
of State of TIE fap&l See asking for
! the renewal of the commendation
From the deep interest of His Holi-
ness in Christian Unity and his earn
est belief in the efficacy of prayer
we are confident of a favorable an
swer. We are urging the observance
of this Octave upon the Anglican
Eastern Orthodox and Protestant
Communions throughout the world
and have already received many
pledges of earnest cooperation"
l earnestly urge each member OF
St. Caspar's congregation to be faith
ful in the observance Of this Octave
The special prayers recommended tc
be said during each day of the Octave
are: The Litany of the Sacred Heart

Pains and Aches
Caused by Kidneys

Many women attribute ailments
and suffering to some disease pecu-
liar to their sex, when often the
pain and misery is caused by weak
or deranged kidneys. Housework,
office work or factory work may
start the trouble, and dizzy spells,
pufhness under eyes, sore muscles,
stiff joints, disco1ored or scanty urine,
sleep distur bing bladder ailments,
rheumatism or diabetes may result.
When the kidneys are strong and
healthy they filter out from the blood
the poisonous waste matter. When
they are sluggish or overworked they
need a medicine to clean them out
and invigorate action. Foley Kidney
Pills are prepared expressly fo- the
purpose of dissolving all poisonous
substances and uric acid that lodge
in the joints and muscles and to
cleanse and strengthen stopped-up.
inactive kidneys. Thousands of men
and women in all parts of the county
testify to the wonderfully satisfac-
tory results they have had from take
ing Foley Kidney Pills,
