CUP OF SORROW
is OVERLOOKING
Sickness and Death Visits Family
of Peter Wick
Grief Stricken Family Have More Sorrow
Than They Are Able
TO Bear.

Troubles do not come singly
and alone but in battalions.'
The family of Mr. and Mrs
Peter Wick of this city know
this-saying to be more than true
and their cup of sorrow is over
flowing as the result of death
and sickness which has visited
their home during the past few
months. Their case is a most
pitiful one and the sympathy of
the entire community goes out
to them in their sorrow and
afiiction.
The second death in the Wick
family occurred on Wednesday
morning of this week when their
daughter Mrs. Milda Burns of
Duluth, passed away at their
home in this city. Mrs. Burns
had been here from Duluth and
was intending to spend the
winter with her parents. Her
death was very sudden, occurring
Wednesday morning at nine.oA
clock, after but a few hours
illness, the cause Of death being
ia paralytief stroke.
Mrs. Burns, who is -3S years of
age, took sick suddenly early.
Wednesday morning and sx97tl
passed into Inconsistencies and
passed away. Mrs. Burns was
in good health up untiIathe time
she retired Tuesday evening.
She had prepared supper that
night and remained with the
family during the evening hours
conversing on different subjects.
At no time did she complain of
illness until taken suddenly ill.
Her death was due to paralysis.
Mrs. Burns was born in Nor
way and came to this city with
her parents when small girl.
She lived here with her parents
until about twelve years ago
when she was married and
moved to Duluth where she has
since resided.
The funeral will be held on
Friday afternoon of this week
from the Wick residence, SER
vices being in charge of Rev.
Christensen Of the Norwegian
Lutheran church. Interment
will be in Woodland cemetery.
Martin Wick, a son, passed
away on November 9Th, from
influenza, followed by pneu-
monia. Another daughter Mrs.
Herbert Borggren is seriously i'll
at the hospital at Ashland where
her recovery is very doubtful.
Wilma, a daughter Is years of
age, is i'll with heart trouble and
nervous disorders, at the home
of her parents in this city, and
a son Elmer, who is in the United
States army, is seriously i'll at
Camp Holibird, Mass.
In addition to all of the above
trouble Mr.. Wick was one Of the
men recently laid off at the plant |
of the Dupont company because
of the shortage of business.
During the past few years this
family has been visited by sick
ness time and again and they |
and they are beginning to think |
that their cup of sorrow is more
than overfowing.
It their trouble and affiiction
this family have the sympathy |
of all.

Lieutenant Beal and myself made
the trip together. We left Bar-Sur
Aube an noon Monday and went up
as far as Signy En- Barrois, where we
put up for the night. The next
morning we went up to Bar -Le-Duc
and thru some fold hunting grounds.
We went all over the hill. ST.
Roman where the hardest fought
battles of the war were fought and it
sure was a sight to see. 1t is just
outside of st. Mihiel.
The old !. stone fortress, on the
crest OF the hill was all blown to
atoms. The hill itself, although as
smooth as prairie and very steep,
was covered with lines of trenches
and dugouts, and acres and acres of
barbed wire entanglements. This
territory was fought over for four
years
Then we went on into St. Mihiel
and over to Rearicourt where we
spent the night. Wednesday morn
ing we started for Verdun and ar
rived there about nine clock. Part
of the city is entirely demolished and
there is not a building in the entire
place but what has been hit by at
least one shell.
There are wonderful Notifications
around Verdun. Immense concrete
walls with deep moats in between
and the usual big fortress at the top
of the hill. All the large cities of
France are fortified in this manner.
We passed one town between St.
Mihiel and Verdun, that looked as
though it might be quarry, where
they crush rocks for roads. There

pile of rock.
Our company was attached to the
First army, just as the 3and Division
moved up into this territory, and
the area we were assigned to, was
not quite as close to the lines, as it
would have been had we remained
with them.

ACTION BY SENATE
SURPRISES COUNCIL
OF SUPREME BOARD
Members Decline to Comment
on Failure to Ratify
Peace Treaty

Paris, Nov. 22.-The adjournment
of the United States senate for the
session without ratification or the
United States senate for the session
without ratification of the peace
treaty created much surprise IN
peace conference circles, as dis
patches from Washington had sug-
gested that some compromise was
probable. The members Of the SUI
preme council withheld comment.
In French official circles, however,
although there was disappointment
over the senate's adjournment with
the treaty situation still unsettled,
no surprise was expressed. Appar-
emily the situation had been dis
cussed and measures taken in ad-
vance to meet the eventualfty, as
Foreign Minister Pichon, who pre-
sided over the supreme council, to-
day urged that the Versailles treaty
be put into force not later than De-
cember /.
His view seems to have prevailed,
the council expressing the opinion
that it would be desirable to put the
treaty into effect on December /. In
this connection the French foreign
office was aware of the probability
that the American senate would not
meet again before the first week in
December.
While the failure of the Ameri-
can senate to ratify the German
treaty has apparently alarmed the
French, it seemingly is not agitating
the average Frenchman so much as
the fear that the United States may
not ratify the joint agreement with
England for the defense Of France,
which is uppermost in the minds OF
all French people.

FOR TWO YEARS
HE COULDN'T WORK
Has Now Accepted a Position
and Will Go to Work
in a Few Days

"Just give me Tanlac and you may
have all the other medicines said
Robert M. Sexton, of 504 G. Avenue,
East, Cedar Rapids, Iowa, while dis
cussing his case, recently.
In relating his experience Mr.. Sex
ton made the remarkable statement
that a few bottles Of Tanlac has done
him more good than all other treat
ment and medicines he has taken IN
ten years combined. But let Mr..
Sexton tell his own story. Here is
his statement.
at the time I began taking this
Tanlac had not been able. to hit
lick Of work in two long years, but
am now on my feet and am going
to accept a position in just few
days. My stomach commenced
torubling me about twelve years ago
and although just tried everything
kept getting worse until l had
complete nervous break down and got
to where 1 was of little use to my
self or anyone else. I suffered from
indigestion after eating and the gas
on my stomach made my heart pal
pitate firightfully. I could not rest
or sleep at night and would often
get up away in the night and walk
about town until day.
II was beginning to think there
was no relief for me, but Tanlac is
fast making new man of me. l had
taken but a few doses Of this medd-
cine until began to straighten
right up, and while it may sound un-
reasonable it's the truth, a few bot
ties has done me more good than
everything else have taken in ten
years put together. I can now eat
anything I want and have no more
gas, bloating or palpitation of the
heart. My nerves have Quoted down
and I can lie down and sleep like
child until morning. There's no
getting around it, Tanlac is the
grandest medicine hape ever seen
or heard of and it is nothing less
than remarkable how it has brought
me out in so short time"
Tanlac is sold in Bemidji by the
City Drug Store, in Kelliher by Mrs.
R. Sterling, in Blackjack by French
& Moon, and in Baudette by j.
Williams.

accomplished fact in Sweden, where
the shortage Of rubber has caused

on the rim by springs, the combination
being said to give results comparable
