Percival S. Ridsdale, secretary of
the American Forestry association, re-
Gently sailed for France, where he will
offer the help of the United States in
reforesting devastated territories. He
will confer with officials of the French

He took over quantity of Douglas
fir seed, which is believed TO be suited
to French climate and soil conditions.
Mr.. Ridsdale explained that a million

ing brush or rubbish, where in most
cases water is not available, an or
ganized neighborhood fire company
equipped with chemical cart would
be of the greatest utility.
The Office of farm management of
the United States department of agri-
culture has for some time urged the
use of chemical apparatus as more
effective than water against fires on
the farm, especially where kerosene,
gasoline or other oil is involved, and
as an indispensable reinforcement to
the use of water in all cases. That is
secured in the California plan together
with an even more effective thing, the
organization of the men of the COM
munity in such way that they can
make their efforts almost Immediately
effective against any fire.

St. PAUL WOMAN.
WAS SURPRISED .
AT BIG CHANGE
So Rundown Was About to
Give Up But Is Now
Well and Happy

II had just about reached the point
OF giving up entirely when 1 began
taking Tanlac but it has built me up
SO wonderfully am now n we'll and
happy woman" said Mrs. s. G.. Hill,
l622 Jefferson Ave. st. Paul, Mimi,
VIE OF well-known railroad man.
IT had been in a nervous. run down
condition for over year, had lost
weight until was down to 1O5
pounds, and my household duties
were burden to me" continued Mrs.
Hill. II had headache spells SO bad
that the pain would almost drive me
distracted, and I would get so dizzy
that would have to hold on to
something to keep from falling. I
had such bad case of indigestion
that had about lost my appetite and
what l did eat would sour and keep
me in distress for hours. I was so
was. poor and l would get up just as
tired and worn-out as on retiring at
night. 1t just looked like a waste of
money every time took treatment
or bought medicine for in spite of
everything l could do my condition
gradually became worse.
II started taking Tanlac after read
ing so much about it in the papers and
now I know what they said about it is
SVSAS VIZ IIIC tIuNIl lol ~ 40 SAi PA 1o4AA6
how I have been SO wonderfully built
up and have gained in weight. I have
a. fine appetite and everything eat
agrees with me perfectly. Headaches
and dizzy spells left me and my nerves
are in such fine condition that I can
sleep like a child every night. 1t has
been several weeks since I>took my
last dose of Tanlac but am still fell
ing as we'll as ever did in my life
and haven't felt sign Of my old
troubles. When 1 weighed several
weeks ago had gained eight pounds
then, but know I have gained a lot
since for I can tell from the way my
clothes fit. I am pleased to recon-
mend Tanlac for I am in perfect
health. and would like to see others
take this medicine and be restored to
the same happy condition"

FEW CRIMINAL CASES
ARE DUE FOR TRIAL

Apparently there will be only one
or two criminal cases for trial when
the Grand Forks county district court
convenes January for it's regular
term, according to T. B. Elton, states
attorney.
One of these is the case of George
Miller now at large under bonds on
charge of stealing an automobile.
1t is also possible that the case Of
William Hoffas, who is being held
on a forgery charge, will be tried
during the term.
There are, however. quite a number
of civil cases. Judge p. M. Cole Of
Fargo will preside during the session.
