Has Interesting Plot.

The plot of "The Rivers End"
the picture to be sponsored by the
Rock Island Woman's club, April
Is and IA at the Spencer Square
theatre, is an interesting one. The
picture is the dramatization of the
book by James Oliver Curwood. It
is a story of love and adventure,
portraying the life of the northern
woods. John Keith, wanted for
murder, is captured after two
years chase by Commission of the
royal mounted police. While bring
ing his prisoner back Commission
dies. Commission and Keith bear a
striking resemblance, so Keith i'm
personates Commission and returns
to the post to report the death of
the outlaw.
Shan Tung. Chinaman, recog-
nizes Keith, but keeps his identity
secret. Shan Tung is in love with
a white girl and holds a strange
influence over her. Conniston's sis
ter arrives after a seven years
search. He falls in love with her.
After a battle in the opium den in
which Keith kills the Chinaman and
frees the white girl from his speel,
he tells COnniston's sister all. Then
he fees back to the north country.
But she learns of the whole past
mystery, and what she does is
something you want to learn.

National Week of Song Feb. 22-28.
Next to the peace celebration, the
observance of the National Week Of
Song should be the most enthusiastic
event of our current history. That
our hopes may be realized we ask the
support of this community. The Ma
tional Week of Song was conceived in
1915 and was considered solely as q
proposition for the schools and col
feges for the first two years. As
time went on, however, the realization
came that it. was Of sufficient import
ance to interest the general public,
and plans were made for q national
Organization. .f ],
y 1.-THE National Week Of Song
means a week set aside for singing
that shall b observed by the etire Ma
ton. The primary purpose Of the
movement is to help in developing q
permanent interest in singing all
kinds Of songs Of the better sort. The
definite date, Feb. 22 TO % inclusive,
has two far-reaching and important
results: First, it will give the daily
singing definite goal and e, worthy
aim. Second, there will be a contag-
ious enthusiasm, which will arise from
the realization that thousands of COM
munities and literally millions OF peO-
ple are singing the same songs thru
out the Nation.

WILSON MAKES "a POUND GAIN
Iowa Manufacturer Makes A State.
n nent 70 the Public About
Tanlac.

J. ID. Wilson, secretary and general
manager Of the Algona Brick & Tile
Company of Algona, Iowa, called Tat
McNerney's Drug store in Des Moines,
recently, and made statement re
garding the benefits he has derived
from the use Of Tanlac that will be
of interest throughout the entire state.
In relating his experience with the
Master Medicine Mr.. Wilson says he
has not only gotten rid Of case Of
nervous indigestion from which he had
suffered for three years, but that he
has also gained twenty-four pounds in
weight. Here is his statement:
II have been benefited even beyond
my belief and feel that it is time for
me to talk for the benefit of others.
Ihad suffered from nervous indiges-
ton and a general run down condition
for three Years. My stomach was
50 weak and upset that could not
retain and digest enough of what I
ate to keep up my strength and
was gradually losing ground all the
time. My food would sour almost as
soon as I had eaten it and the gas
from it would press on my heart caus-
ing palpitation, shortness of breath
and intense pains. My kidneys were
also in bad shape and often suffered
with severe pains in the small of my
back.
mo kind Of treatment or medicine
did me any good and as result OF
my condition was continually losing
weight. I was worried constantly
with the fear that my case was beyond
the reach Of medicines. ! But ] final
ly began taking Tanlac on the advice
of an old friend and not, only have
my troubles been relieved, but / feel
like have been given new lease
on life. At the time I began taking
this medicine only weighed one hun
dred and eighteen pounds, but l now
balance the scales at one hundred and
forty-two, making an actual gain OF
twenty-four pounds. can now eat
just anything set before me and never
feel sign Of Indigestion. Why, only
yesterday / ate steak and onions fol-
dinner, thoroughly enjoyed them and
they did not hurt me the least bit.
am now able to eat cabbage and pork
and digest them as easily as I can
milk. In fact, neither my stomach OF
kidneys bother me any more. I am
absolutely free from from all pain
and am in better shape physically
than I have been in a long time. A
medicine that will do what Tanlac has
done in my case is certainly worth
recommending to the public and an
glad to give this statement to be used
in letting others, who are trying tc
find relief know about it"
Tanlac is sold in Minot by the Tay.

School Attendance Gases.

Last week a number of parents of chill
.dren who have not been attending school
were arrested and brought before Justice
Cadow to explain why the children were
not in school. In each caee the parents
were found guilty of not sending the
children to school, A fine of SIS was inn
posed in some cases, while in others sem
tence was suspended until it is seen
whether or not the child is present at
school during the present school term.
The school law says children must at
tend school, if physically. able, and the
best and only thing to do is for parents
to see that their children are in school
during school hours. ~
Two things parents should remember,
viz: that children must be vaccinated and
they must go to school. A child cannot
60 to school unless vaccinated. Both
are compulsory. If ignored, they are
liable to u fine as prescribed in the law.
