FIRE MARSHAL ISSUES CAUTION.

State Fire Marshal w. n. VanCamp
has sent out the following to the people
of the state
Every city and town in South Dakota
is menaced by the imminent possibility
of general conhagration. Recent Sc
we're cold weather has produced condi-
ton of gravest menace. Several fires in
the state have disclosed the fact that the
water hydrants we're frozen and little
could be done to combat the flames. 1t
Is imperative that hydrants near grain
elevators be ready at all times to give a
good account of themselves. Many win
ter fires are caused by ill.advised at
tempts to thaw frozen water pipes.
Never use a blow torch. To wrap oil
soaked rags around frozen water pipe
and set them on fire is worse than folly.
1t is incendiarism. Instead, wrap the
frozen section of pipe with cotton cloth
and saturate with boiling water. If this
don't bring relief, send for the plumber,
Every fire department should be sure
that every hydrant is ready to do its
duty. Hose, nozzles and chemicals
should all be ready for instant use. Re-
member that the deep snow through
which you will have to make your run
puts you at big disadvantage in the
battle that the fire bell heralds. BE
prepared"

HEATING WRITES
Extracts From Letter Written by Elmer
Heating to His Father Telling
of Trip to France.

Here is an extract from a letter writ
ten by Elmer Heating to his father B.
T. Heating, dated January 2Sth, and
postmarked Hoboken, n. j.:
"Will now try and write you a long
letter and tell you all about my trip to
France. Have been very busy since we
came back so have not had much chance
to write. We have been coaling ship at
Newport News, Va, and are just about
finished. Have been up all night work
ing and have to 90 to work again at S
O'Clock this morning as we leave here
some time today for Hoboken, New
Jersey, again and do not know whether
We will 60 into dry dock for repairs or
not. l hope we do.
"We left the States either the 18th or
l4th of December and arrived in France
the 2Sth of December. On the noon of
the 2Sth when about two hours off the
coast of France a submarine came up
amongst us and fired three shots, one
which missed this ship by about ten
feet. We had convoy of six destroy.
ers, so one of them went after it and
sank it in very few minutes. The bat
tie did not last over 10 minutes.
There were five other ships beside
this one which went with u.s. When
we entered the danger zone three left us
for some other port in France, so the
day when we sank the submarine there
were only three transports in the bunch.
81 did not like France very well any
way. The port we were in no man in
the service is allowed on the streets after
nine o'clock at night. Every other place
of business is place they sell wine and
liquor and call cafe, where they have
the bar maids. Bread cannot be bought
in France and coal is $500 a ton, and
they wear wooden shoes, you can hear
them coming for mile.
"Oh yes, you remember Valentine
who cut wood at the Cuyahoga last win
ter, well he went over to France on this
ship. If you see Joe Lane in Custer tell
him his brother also went over They
belonged to some Wyoming regiment.
"We are now on our way to EoDoken
and it is raining and disagreeable out
side"

any of the various lines of work in
volved, with names and addresses OF
employers.

will consist of lumberjacks, sawmill
workers, and men experienced in build
ing and operating logging railroads. The
other three thousand will make up three
road and bridge-building battalions
which will serve as auxiliary to the log
ging and sawmil units. For these road.
building battalions, men who are fam
iliar with the operation of rock crushers,
road rollers, scrapers and graders, motor
truck drivers, and laborers experienced
in road work are required.

 Rheumatism is caused by poisonous toxin, called uric acid. which is zen erated in the bowels and absorbed in- to the blood. It is the function of ,i.s kidneys to filter this acid from the blood and cast it out in the urine. The pores of the skin are also a means of freeing the blood of this impurity. In damp and chilly. cold weather the skin pores are closed. thus forcing the kidneys to do double work. they be- come weak and sluggish and fail to eliminate this uric acid, which keeps accommodating and circulating through the system. eventually settling in the joints and muscles. causing stiffness, soreness and pain called rheumatism.
