Northern Oil Rush Is
 Taking Toll of Lives

PEACE RIVER, Alta, July l. The long journey to the Fort Nor nan oil fields has at last begun to take it's toll of human life, accord ing to reports just reaching here on he arrival of the steamer D. A. Thomas. These reports were re- eeived by passengers connecting with the lower river boats and are very meagre in detail. Three Bayes brothers left here about April 20 last, bound for Fort Norman via vermilion and the upper Hay river. As near as can be learned, two of he brothers were drowned, while the third succeeded in making shore with the aid of the upturned canoe. Further rumors have it that another man accompanying them was also drowned.

Winter Weakens Blood, Makes

Pept0-Mangan

That Comes From Sluggish
BLOOD Will Soon Leave You
Tie Best Known Blood Tonic

AS all growing things on earth shoot
into new life in Springtime, so do the
billions of cells that make up each part
of the body renew their vigor.
As you open the windows, breathe
the Spring air, and let in the sunshine.
the red corpuscles in your blood should
carry more oxygen to the tiny cells.
The red corpuscles ares tiny disc
shaped particles, swimming in enor-
nous numbers in the blood. They carry
oxygen to cells in all parts of the body,
and they carry away worn-out waste
matter. Sometimes, especially IN the
Spring, after the winter indoors and
more or less sickness, the red corpuscles
themselves need rebuilding. GUIDES
Pepto-Mangan contains just the in
gradients to give them greater power
to absorb oxygen and to distribute it
throughout the body. 49,
That is why it is such good Spring
tonic. 1t helps so much to bring back
color to cheeks made pale and wan by
the necessary indoor winter life. 1t
adds to the number of red corpuscles.
With fine Spring days and GUIDES Pep
to- NJ angan you gain in vigor and attain
good health.
Don't 20 around drowsy this Spring.
Take that good tonic. GUIDES Pepto-
Mangan. You can get it in tablet form
or in liquid form at your druggists:
Both forms have the same medicinal
value. Insist upon genuine Guides

A. e. F. Landmarks Going.

Gradually the landmarks Of the
American army that first reached the
Rhine are disappearing. The old
buildings that sheltered the first army
amusements and recreations are being
demolished, and the latest one to feel
the blow Of the wrecker's hammer is
the victory hut in Coblenz
This hut was built to provide an
adequate eating place for the soldiers
coming in from the various bridge
heads. A corps of civilian workers
were kept busy preparing and serving
the food for the 1000 men who were
fed there each day. At first the en-
tire building was used as a cafeteria,
but when the most Of the divisions
had gone home and the A. E. F. be-
came the A. F. G., half of the build
ing was converted into a wet canteen
for the service Of light lunches, ice
cream. ETC., and the other side was
still used as the cafeteria.
November 5, last year, heavy snow
storm came near ending the career Of
the hut. The weight of snow on the
roof was so great that the main pill
lars buckled and distorted the floor to
such an extent that the authorities
questioned the advisability Of making
the necessary repairs. The demand
for skating rink, however, was so in
sistent that after much discussion the
building was altered and the athletic
enthusiasts, as we'll AZ the skating en-
thusiasts, used the building during
the winter.-From the Stars and
Stripes.

TAXES AND TRIBUTE

11TF this republic is to endure, we
! must hold fast to the faith of the
fathers" declared Rear-Admiral Sammy
MCGOWAN. in Peoria, ILL.,, recently,
'translating into action the principles
to which they pledged their lives, their
fortunes and their sacred honor, and re-
member always that battles cost more
than battleships, taxes are cheaper
than tribute, and little navy is dan
gerous thing" That's good stuff
Sammy MCGOWAN put the navy on
business basis during the war. Sammy
and his brother officers took the affairs
of the navy out of the hands of 10
Daniels as soon as we got into the shin
dig, and ran the navy as America would
have it run. That is why the navy had
no aftermaths. 1t was a bad precedent,
but Daniels was its justification.

Sweet Potatoes.

The sweet 1potato may soon be a
much more common vegetable in our
markets than heretofore. Its season has
been restricted by the difficulty OF
keeping it for any length of time in
storage. Unlike the white potato, it
began to deteriorate as soon as 1t
came out Of the ground.
This trouble is understood to have
been overcome by new methods Of
curing, and plants specially designed
for the storage of sweet potatoes have
recently been established at many
points in the South.
Improved and much sweeter varie
ties have been developed, and cam.
paign is being organized to promote
the marketing Of better sweet pota-
toes on a greater scale all over the
country.
The sweet potato, Of course is not
really a potato at all, but kind Of
yam. It is, like the so-called "Irish"
potato. an American vegetable By
origin.

NOT FOR US!

IUST suppose that Congress should
} consent to the recommendation that
German bonds be accepted by this coun-
try in lieu of Belgium's debt to us OF
$175, 900, 900. How long would it be be-
fore all the other creditors OF the
United States would be appealing for
similar generous treatment But Con-
gress will do nothing of the sort. Rep
resentatives and Senators are looking
after the welfare of their own peoplel
and have no intention of consenting to
an arrangement that would have the
probable effect of saddling upon them
an additional burden of $11, 900, 900, 900.
Congress and the people generally are
witnessing with interest the supreme
council distributing among themselves
the huge territory in Africa and the
Pacific Islands won from Germany,
from the development of which they
will eventually add billions Of dollars to
their national wealth. With that pic
ture before their eyes there is no incll-
nation to enrich foreign treasures fur
ther at the expense of the United
States.

HYSTERIA

DR. Charles R. Herty, of the Ameri.
i can Chemical Society. is reported
as urging the destruction of the Ger
man dye plants. That is going little
bit too far. The chemical industry is
Germany's chief asset. Destroy that
and the likelihood of ever securing the
payment of the German indemnity
would be exceedingly remote. No ma
tion on earth has made such .contribu-
tions to science in the way of dyestuffs
as has Germany. That her dye plants
were devoted to the manufacture OF ex-
plosives for war purposes is no reason
why they should be destroyed now. So
long as the plants are devoted to legiti-
mate purposes they are benefit to
mankind. So far as our own new dye
industry is concerned, adequate protec-
ton through tariff duties will prevent
the Germans from putting the Ameri-
can manufacturers out of commission,
vet. at the same time permitting the
German manufacturers reasonable
share of our market-such a share, for
instance, as would prevent the business
from falling into the hands of mo-
nopoly here. DR.. Herty seems to be
one of those who have not recovered
from war hysteria, if he is quoted cor
rectly,
