STAYS WITH TASK
An Idaho Sailors Sense OF
Duty.

Congressman Burton l.. French
was asked for statement on the
Importance OF the Fifth Victory loan
He has just returned from six
weeks trip to the war zone and has
interviewed many Of our soldiers in
the army and the navy.
He said: "On the Levlathan l met
young Idaho boy who is in the navy
Tbs young man has crossed the
ocean repeatedly and is now engaged
in assisting to bring home our boys
from France.
1.-The young man said, OF course
| want to go home but when / look
around 10 the Leviathan and see 80
soldiers 10 the she'll shock ward, see
$50 soldiers 10 the t. b. ward, see the
many boys who have lost an arm or
have been desperately wounded or
who are going around with crutches.
and think that nearly IS, 900 of our
soldier boys will never return,-I feel
that | have had only small part,
since l have escaped uninjured, in
winning the war, and 1 do not pro.
pose asking to be released from
service till the last soldier shall be
returned home. ="
1.-The name of this young man is
Norman O'Donnell, of St. Maries,
Idaho. l was proud of Norman when
he made those remarks and it is the
best appeal / can think of for the
Fifth Victory Loan.
"Those who are asked to subscribe
to it have done little In comparison
with the service of our dear boys who
have given two years out Of the best
part of their lives, who have gwen a
limb, and health, and even life itself.
OF course, we must over-Subscribe
the Fifth Victory Loan, and we will
do it,"

GROTON LEADS STATE
Grammar School Has Largest Per
Capita Sale of War Savings
Stamps in State

Following is an extract from Il let
ter by the Groton chairman from
Miss Lena E. Hamilton, Vermont
Publicity director for the National
War Savings committe:
81 am glad to be able to tell you
that the Grammar school at Groton
had the largest per capita sales of
War Savings. stamps Of any school in
the state last year"
The sale Of War Savings stamps in
Vermont during the month of April
was $25 ,978.15, as announced by Mrs.
F. L. Higginson, Savings director for
New England. The sales in the va
rious states Of the district for the
month were as follows:
Maine, $3O,102.86; New Hampshire,
$33,963.95; Vermont, $25,978.15;
Massachusetts,, $399,452.95; Rhode
Island, $295,658.S6; Connecticut,
$142,4S9.83. Total for April, $907,-
1860; from Jan. list to April 30,
1919, $4,362, 960.41, a per capita aver
age of GO cents.
The apparent falling off in the sale
of stamps in April was due largely to
partial cessation Of effort because
of the Victory loan. Mrs. Higginson
expresses satisfaction with the move
ment thus far, and with clear field
feels assured that the end of the year
will show satisfactory results.
The increase in the number of War
Savings societies from February LIST
to May 8th in Maine, New Hamp-
shire, Massachusetts and Rhode IS
land from 1875 to 1860, is encourag-
ing, especially as labor conditions in
some localities are still unsettled.
Following the closing Of the school
for. secretaries which has been in ses-
sion during the past month at Bos-
ton University, and the placing in the
field of considerable number of
trained workers, a marked gain will
be seen.

HAPPY MESSAGE
Suffered From Constipation
Since Childhood-Has Taken
Great Quantity of Pills and
Calomel-NOw Advises the
Use of Dreco, the Herbal Rem
edy.

Every night before going to bed
have taken pills, calomel or some such
medicine, for a long time; in fact, l
have suffered since childhood from
constipation" states Mrs. Adjutant
Cuthbert of the Salvation Army, now
stationed in Montgomery, Ala.
IT also have a very lazy liver and
have taken enough calomel TO almost
kill a person, but the old trouble al
ways returned. 1 continually had a
bad taste in my mouth, foul breath,
dizzy spells, headaches and my food di-
gested poorly.
"Since taking Dreco I am fully con-
WINGED that It is great medicine, for
oil my troubles are about gone. L
heartily recommend this splendid med
icine for believe it will overcome the
troubles for which 1t is recommend"
When one takes pills, calomel, or
any harsh purgative, it simply blasts
a way through, then the old condition
returns Compare the difference when
one takes Dreco, the new herbal RENE
dy. Drco acts gently day after day,
gradually removing the cause OF the
trouble and at the same time acts as a
tonic to the organs and restores them
to healthy action as intended by ma
ture, therefore, results obtained from
Dire CO are lasting. rDeco is pleasant
to -tslze@gEEcK IN scion, and absolutely
harmless even to children and elderly
persons.
Mr.. Stout, the known Dreco ex-
per-, has headquarters at the Balkcom
Drug Co., to meet the local public and
explain the merits OF this great remedy.

URGENT NECESSITY
FOR ELECTRICAL
BILL EMPHASIZED

The fact that several fires were
caused during the electrical storm early
yesterday morning has increased local
interest in the Electrical Safety Bill.
known as Senate Bill No. 2SS, which is
now before the lower house Of the leg
islature, having passed the senate last
week.
William f. Storey of the Electrical
Workers Local, in speaking of the fires
last evening, said that there never was
a time when an electrical safety law
was needed so much as at present. He
mentioned an instance where a man
was electrocuted in a bath tub due to
improper house wiring. The man
reached up to turn on a light and be-
cause the wire was not properly
grounded, the full voltage OF the line
passed through his body
The Electrical Safety Bill embodies
the rules of the National Electric code
and the Bureau of Standards. 1t pro-
vides for stricter inspection system
and gives the inspector greater pow
ers. The bill is intended to protect the
users of electricity from the danger
of faulty insulation and installation
Mr.. Storey expressed the hope last
night that those who are interested will
urge their representatives to see that
the bill is passed.
While the measure has passed the
senate alright. it is evident that there
is great liability of its being lost in the
batch of several hundred bills now
stacked up in the house. many of which
1t is sure will not be reached before
the time for adjournment Friday at
noon.
