TOWNSHIP Is CONSIDERING.

The proposition made by the City
Commission to the township board OF
the township of Crystal Falls that the
twp. contribute towards the main
tenance OF the city fire department In
return for the services of the truck
and the paid fremen Of the city was
taken up at meeting of the township
board held last Thursday.
Manager Sanders and Mayor Bridges
were present and talked the matter
over with the township board. The
truck and firemen have been at the
call OF the township in the past and
many thousands of dollars worth OF
property have been saved thereby. The
city has had practically no compensa-
ton for the use of the apparatus.
II looked to the commission that the
fairest way for both sides is for the
township to contribute about $1,000 a
year and have the right to call upon
the fire department for service.
The board members looked with ia
vor upon the proposition and referred
II to Mr.. Caswell, township attorney
for a legal opinion as to how to handle
the matter.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

DtAAVV1 49,
Before a large Iron River crowd,
but small home representation. the
Crystal Falls boys met defeat At the,
hands of the Iron River high school
football team in their first regular
game OF the season. last Saturday af
ternoon, to the tune OF 47-0.
Although interesting, the game was
far from being OF the spectacular
type. The local boys did not play
with the vim and dash necessary in l.
winning team.
! Only at one time was the home team
dangerously near their rivals goal
line. A series of good line plunges
carried the. ball steadily down the
field to within a few yards OF the COW
eted line, but an intercepted forward
pass spoiled all chances for touch
down.
Both teams fumbled much and 1t
was fumbles which cost the Crystal
Falls boys several points. The one
surprising feature OF the game was
the lack OF punting on either sid dur
ing the entire period OF play.
For the home team, Hollow, as cap
tain, and Aeschliman and Kieren de-
serve mention. for their good playing.
Kieren proved to be whale" in go
ing through the line on the hike"
plays. The visitors played poppy
and very clean game. Flanagan and
PEBBLES were easily the stars for the
Iron River team.
The weekly high school teachers
meeting was called Monday evening
after school. Only routine matters
were discussed. ii
Miss Lois Slagg, the penmanship
supervisor, has organized class OF
teachers for penmanship drill. 1t IL
presupposed that the greater part OF
the high school faculty will be reg
ular attendants.
Wednesday morning Evelyn Medler,
Ethel Croghan, and Astrid Benson,
three pupils of the Forest Park school,
gave their Four-Minute speeches TO
the high school, The speeches were
written by the pupils themselves and
were quite worthy Of praise
The local football team will play
Norway at Norway today. The same
lineup will be used as was used
against Iron River. We hope this
game will put the boys in condition
to make a credible showing when
Stambpugh is played next Saturday.
In keeping with the spirit OF the
day, and in honor OF Italy both as an
ally in the present war and as the

Small British Naval
 Expedition Does Good
 in South African District

London, May 10.-(Correspondence of the Associated Press.)-- account of the smallest and one of the most successful British naval expeditions sent out dur ing the present war-that which cleared the Germans from the district of the Lake Tanganyika in Africa-has just been published by the Colonial institute here.
 The expedition included only B men, and it went through the campaign wirh- out 4 single casualty. It's two boats were transported 5000 miles by sea and then 3500 miles by land before they reached the scene of their objective. They were dragged long distances through the push and over a range of mountains, some times in temperature of 100 degrees. The first ercounte with the enemy was when the German armed motor-boat Kingani sailed into the bay where the British ships lay, her commander un- aware that the British navy was on the spot. The Kingani was chased into the lake and, after being heavily shelied, surrendered. She then resumed her ca reer under the British flag as the Eff.
 Sometime, afterward. another German boat appeared. the Hedwiggvon Wiss- mann. The Eff and Mimi chased her 50 miles, until at $500 yards the Eff got the range with high-expIosive shells. In few minutes the Hedwig burst into flames, turned turtle and sank. Her en- sign was ricked up, and was the first en- emy ensign captured in any sea battle in the war.
 The remaining German boat, the Graf von Gotxen, stayed in harbor. A sea- plane flew over and reused her with few bombs. The Germans then filled her with concrete and sank her.

NOTED LECTURER ON TEMPERANCE
 |NDORSES TANLAC
Mrs. Martha Stone Was for Years Associated With
 Founder of w. c. T. U.

One of the features that distinguishes Tanlac from all other proprietary med fcines is the large number of pronli- nent people who everywhere are giving it their unqualified indorsement Among the statements recently re- ceived at the Tanlac office is one in particular that is sure to arouse wide spread interest throughout the coun- try, having been made by Mrs. Martha R. Stone. of 7225 Third avenue, north west Seattle, Wash, noted temperance lecturer who for many years was as- sociated with the late Frances F. Willard, founder of the w. C. T. U. In relating her experience with Tanlac Mrs. Stone said:
 T think it is the duty of everyone who has been relieved as I have, to do what they can to help others; therefore it gives me much pleasure to tell of the benefits I have derived from the use of Tanlac.
 T was a great sufferer for many years with nervous trouble, which be- came so bad that had to take to my bed, where I lay for six weeks en- tirely helpless and unable to move. The least little noise would upset me and I was not allowed to see anyone for fear 1t would excite me. and was told that my entire nervous sys tenn had suffered total collapse. You see, I had passed through tine great San Francisco fire, in which I lost everything I possessed, and the experience was a severe shock to my already overwrought nerves. When at last was able to get out Of bed would have such an awful dizzy sfell that everything in my room seemed to spin around as though was in the center of whirlpool My stomach was so weak and my appetite so poor that I hardly ate anything, and what little I forced down soured and formed gas that pressed up into my throat and in my chest and made me so hoarse that it was an effort for ne to speak. I also suffered much pain in the lower part of my body from this same gas pressure. My liver, too. was all out of order and my Kidneys gave mo no end of trouble.
 When my son-in-law saw that the medicines I was taking were doing me no good, he induced me to try Tanlac, as he said it had done him so much good he believed it would help me, too. To oblige him. got me a bottle and the first few doses soon con- vinced me that it was just what I needed, and my first bottle put me right on my feet I am new on my second bottle, and am in splendid shape, for my nerves, are practically lin a normal state for the first time in all these years, which consider 8 re- markab1e thing. I have fine appe- tite and can eat most anything I want without suffering any unpleasanrness afterward. Tanlac is fast helping me to overcome my troubles, and l feel that I am getting on just fine c
 since I began taking it."

British War Bread Indorsed by Committee of Scientists
 Following Thorough Tests

London, May 17.-(Correspondenc of the Associated Press. )-The British war bread" has been vindicated and indorsed by committee of scientists after series of tests conducted in the labora- tories of Cambridge, Glasgow and Lon- don universities and in a number of fac tories and hospitals
 The committee finds that bread com posed Of whole wheat flour mixed with 20 per cent of other cereals is not only suited to all ages and digestions, but also gives a higher percentage of en- ergy."
 The ioaves used in the experiments were baked from flour milled under the personal supervision of A. E. Humphries, president of the National Association ot British and Irish millers. No precau- tion was omitted to make the experi- ments complete, and every result was worked out in series of tables.
 At one factory in Yorkshire, the tests were applied to a group of 20 men, nine women and two children. It was their sole bread supply for period of two months and they were under medical su- pervision throughout. In no case did it cause digestion trouble and in certain cases health seemed to improve during it's use.
 When the mixed bread was tried on % patients suffering from tuberculosis it was found that the bread was preferred by the majority of the patients all of whom had more or less impaired diges- tion. Most of the patients gained weight during the period they were under op- servation.
 report of the committee says:
 "Thc main fact established is that the human body can make better use of the parts cf the wheat grain which have itherto teen discarded than the pigs and poultry to which these rich and nutrient by-products of milling ave been given in the past. The country has gained enormously in food and energy from the compulsory inclusion in the loaf of these by-prcducts. The gain can be expressed in definite terms as an increase of 100 billion calories of energy on the wheat milled each year in this country, or enough to extend the cereal supply of en- ergy for more than a month"

CAUSE OF SPECULATION

It is no longer secret that the United States is preparing to play big card In Italy. On the last anniversary of Italys entrance into the European war Secretary Baker, in an address in New York, declared that very soon the United States would be standing on the Italian front, man for man with the sons of Italy.
 It may have been the original intention of the WAT department and the Presi- dent to gove this big command to Gen. eral Wood. Perhaps it was judged un- wise to notify Wood in advance. At any rate, his Friends thought that he was ''shelved," and his friends made con1- plaint. It iS still matter of specula- ton as to whether Pershing loves Wood or vice versa, or whether or not the Italian assignment resulted from the in tention of the administration to prove that in time of war politics is ad- journ' in every sense of that term.

THE ROOSEYELT BOOST

General Wood, at the beginning of the Spanish-American war, was a physician. He served in that war as a soldier and a very excellent soldier. During the F'ili- pino campaign he attracted the atten- ton of the nation by his fine work, and Was rewarded by President Roosevelt. Over the heads of thousands of officers, he was promoted to very high rank. Roosevelt was bitterly criticised for thus complinenting one admittedly favorite of his. President Wilson is making Dr. Cary Grayson an admiral-promoting him over the heads of hundreds of others --has since followed in the footsteps oI his predecessors.
 When the United States entered the European war General Wood was put in command of the southern division. Pop ulariy, this assignment was regarded in the nature of a positive demoticn. It was said by Woods friends that the ad- n1inistraton was playing politics" with a protege of Colonel Roosevelt. But whan correspondents inquired of the gen eral. he declared his satisfaction in that he was destined to have the honor of having trained southern men for battle. He declared southerners the greatest soldiers in the world

WOUNDED IN FRANCE

He went south. Some months later he was sent to Europe as an inspection officer. While in Europe he sustained a wound through the accidental explosion of artillery. It was then thought by tiie war department that he should be examined in Washington in order that his Physical condition might be accu- rately ascertained. He was returned to the United States, and examined. His condition was found to be perfect.
 He was then assigned to a division in training for actual service abroad. It is known that he entered into the whip ping into shape of that division with great enthusiasm, for he thought that he would he sent again to the firing line. Soon the division was prepared for foreign service. And then Wood was ordered to Washington and assigned to the Pacific coast.
 It is known that General Wood repre- senied to the war department his desire for actual service. It is said that Secre- tary Baker gave him little encourage ment. It is known that later he carried his story to the President. And then came the announcement that Wood would be put in command of American troops in Italy.
