of what she said and as I had heard
so much about Tanlac I decided to
try it as a last resort and stopped at

bottle. Of course I had lost heart and
had no faith in the medicine, but to

to take it and oh, what a happy day
that was for me!
ri never returned for the operation,

The medicine seemed to take hold at

for a million members and a million
dollars, we are pleased to say that
Bottineau has gone "over the top" in
both, and we thank those friends who
contributed to this fund. Many whom
we thought might not be in sympathy
with us, were generous in their dona-
TONS.
This is the first time we have ever
solicited funds outside our organiza-
ton, but the needs of the work made
it imperative.
Our state president is DESTROYS that
North Dakota should be the first to
pay her quota, and we have adopted
as our slogan, .'......
Jubilee! happy day,
North Dakota, first to pay!
This fund will be used first for
World Prohibition. We would be trait
ors to the boys who today lie on Fland-
ers fields that the world may be safe
for Democracy, if after securing the
blessings Of prohibition for ourselves
we fail, to take the message to other
countries, and without protest permit
the American brewers to take their
products and equipment to South
America, Mexico, China and other
countries of the Orient.
Already in a number of large cities
workers from the Woman's Christian
Temperance Union are visiting the
foreign speaking homes, organizing
groups of young people of different
nationalities who are doing effective
temperance work among their own
people. Two hundred thousand dollars
of this fund will place paid workers in
fifty foreign speaking centres to work
especially among the women and
children of the home. These teachers
will combine the teaching of English
and the care of the child with the prin-
ciples of good government and good
citizenship. 4
Mothers from the first line Of de-
tense for the welfare Of their child

of varying abilities from all circles

are organized as great mother hearts
to protect child life and the home, and
to put the great moral force of Chris
tian womanhood back Of every great
issue in this country.
Our organization born Of God,
could not do otherwise than make big
plans. We are gatheding this fund that
we may do part in the great re-
construction work. We r gathering
this fund to help win prohibition for
the world. We are gathering this fund
that we may continue our work Tor

MORE TAGS ISSUED FOR
SMALL THAN FOR BIG CARS

Over 100000 has already been. col
1ectsd by the state for use in making
better roads by the tax on automo-
biles. Though the work this year did
not start until April because of the
new motor vehicle license law passed
BY the legislature, $4,000 tags have
been sent out.
It is interesting to note that two
thirds Of the cars which have applied
for licenses are Fords. The license
clerk says that most Of the Applicants
thus far have been farmers, and that
there seems to be a lack of enthusiasm
ON the part of big car owners to secure
licenses, because Of the heavier taxes
on them.
It IN estimated that $3.50, 900 will be
taken in from the sale Of automobile
tags. After deducting the cost of the
department, which is not very much in
comparison to the money it brings in,
half Of the remaining money is sent
back to the counties from which it
came, to be used for the building of
roads; and the other half is used by
the state highway commission to build
and maintain roads. For example, if
a county sent in $4,000 for auto tags,
it would receive back from the state
to use for goods roads, a little more
than $14,00O.
The highway commission announces
that the report that has been spread
that motorcycles were tax free, Is
false, and that every motorcycle IL
taxed q. ..'
