The incoming Mayor and Board
and Commissioners were elected
on last Tuesday by the largest
vote ever been polled in a NUM-
cipal election in the town of Roa-
noke Rapids. This was, of
course, due to the fact that an
opposition ticket appeared in the
field, but the result is none the
less satisfactory in that many
voters realized for the first time
that they had privileges and
duties inherent in them as citi-
zens Of the town. Apathy on
the part of the public is the worst
enemy of good government
everywhere and the fact that
through the use of the ballot SO
many voters have become identi-
fled with and responsible for the
incoming administration is both
hopeful and encouraging.
The logical deduction from
these premises certainly presages
the most alert and responsive
municipal administration we
have VIZ had.

With greatly increased freight
rates, Governmental operation of
railroads has shown a total for
the fifteen months it has been in
effect of S418, 900, 100000. Gov
ernmental operation of the Amer
lean Railway Express shows a
loss of S14, 500, 100000 in eight
months. The worst part of it is
that as Government operation
gets more accustomed to hand

ger. Return to private owner

The latest triumph of modern
pharmacy is the new nausealess
calomel known to the drug trade
as "Calotabs. /" Calomel, the most
generally useful of all medicines
thus enters upon a wider field of
popularity purified and refined
from those Objectionable quail
ties which have heretofore linn
tied its use.
In biliousness, constipation,
headache, and Indigestion, and
in a great variety of liver,
stomach and kidney troubles cal
omel was the only successful
remedy but its use was often
neglected on account of its sick
ening qualities. Now it is the
easiest and most pleasant of all
medicines to take. One Calotab
on the tongue at bedtime, with a
swallow of water, that's all.
No salts, no gripping, no nausea,
no danger of salvation. A good
nights sleep and the next morn
ing you are feeling fine, with a
clean liver and a big appetite.
Eat what you please.
Calotabs are sold only in origi-
nal, sealed packages, price thir-
ty-fve cents. Your druggist
offers to refund the price as a
guarantee that you will be thor
oughly delighted with Calotabs.

Don't Blame the Child

Don't scold your children for lack of
control over the kidney secretions. 1t
is not always the children's fault---in
many cases it means weak kidneys and
can be readily righted. Read this Roa-
aoke Rapids mothers advice.
Mrs. M. A. Bowen, says: my boy
was pretty bad off some years ago with
weak kidneys. He didn't seem to have
any control over these organs, what
ever. This caused me whole lot of
annoyance and he didn't look well; he
had that sallow look. He always SEEM
ed tired and irritable. The different
remedies he took seemed to do no good
and finally began giving him Doan's
Kidney Pills. Doan's entirely cured
him and he hasn't been bothered since.

Due, perhaps, to misunderstanding
or mis-apprehension as to the use Of
funds at division headquarters, state
ments are made or publicity is given
to features of Red Cross work that
are contrary to Red Cross principles
and plans. 1t seems to be wise, tE,re-
fore that a statement outlining Red
Cross work today and plans that have
thus far been outlined for the future,
together with a statement of purpose
for which moneys may be used, is a
thing that should be in the hands of
all chapter chairmen and officials in
case the need arises for it's use.

Volumes could be written about our
work today. Our war obligations are
not completed by any means. The work
of our foreign commissions in reliev-
ing suffering among refugees is tre-
mendous. There are some fifteen of
these commissions working in every
country affected by the war, with the
exception of the central empires, Tur-
key and Bulgaria. The public health
work and infant welfare work that
these commissions are doing is ire
m%endous. They are distributing sup
plies and clothing to these people in
order that they may be speedily put
upon their feet. The food problem
is being handled, as is we'll known, by
Mr.. Hoover for the allied governments
There are still three-quarters of a
million men under arms and the Red
Cross is looking out for their vel.

personnel are caring for the patients

DECORATION AWARDED
TO HEROIC MONTANAN

Salt Lake, June before an audi
nee composed Of officers, nurses and
patients of the U. S. army general
hospital No. ~, formed in a hollow
square at Fort Douglas, Captain A.
F. Graham, pinned on the breast of
Sergeant Nels W. Christensen a Croix
de Guerre with bronze star, awarded
by order of Marshal Foch of France,
through Marshal Petain.
Award Of the medal, with it's bronze
star typifying special service, was
made in recognition of the brave SER
vices rendered by Sergeant Christian
sen in action at St. Etienne a Arnes,
during the period Of heavy fighting
from October 3 to 9, 1918. The SER
geant had been advancing steadily
with F company, 23rd infantry, a part
of the famous Second division, under
a hail of artillery and machine gun
fire which was steadily causing gaps
in the ranks. All officers of F COM
pany were killed during the advance
and Sergeant Christensen was left
as senior officer of the company.
He took charge of the scattered
remnant of men and led them steadily
forward, keeping the advance on a
line with that of other organizations
on both flanks. It was his bravery
and undaunted spirit Of courage which
kept the morale of the company from
falling to pieces from the terrific
strain which they were undergoing
and which enabled the company tc
leave the line as an organized unit
when they were finally relieved late
one night.
His bravery was not unnoticed al
though ommon enough on the battle.
fields, and he vas recommended by
French officers with the organization
for the Croix de Guerre.
This was the history of his deeds
which was read to Sergeant Christian.

Graham, who himself bears an en-.
viable record for services rendered
during the war. Captain Graham spent
II months overseas and was in actor
almost continuously.
Sergeant Christensen, whose home
is in Sidney, Montana, has spent three
years in the army, enlisting with the
Montana national guard. He spent
more than IA months overseas ane
served in the battles of Chateau-Thier
ry, Scissors, st. Mihiel, Champagne
Argonne and other minor engage
ments. On November 4, Sergean'
Christensen was wounded in the arm
with a piece Of high explosive shell
He was sent back to the dressing sta
ton, and it being discovered Their,
that his wound was serious, he wa
ordered back to the base hospital. HI
spent several months recuperating il
American hospitals in France and wa
finally invalided back to America. o.
March 10, he was admitted to the For
Douglas hospital and has rapidly re
covered. He is now expecting a dis
charge for disability, and he will re
