The Once Over

II STRANGE CASE OF SIR THOMAS

The STRANGE CASE OF SIX AhOmAS
II think you'd better come over and at once said
Wymess over the telephone.
Whats wrong?" asked Sir Crombie Iverness. the
tea magnate's personal physician.
Hes acting that way again. STR" said the man
servant.
let ME see; how long Is II since he had his last
spell?" asked the physician.
Ten years. sir. 1t was back In 1919"
Dear met thought we had him cured. Just
how Is he acting?"
Wei sir, he has a far-away look In his eyes, and
he goes about the house looking tenderly at the old
photographs Of all the Shamrocks and muttering
about cardboard strake, halyards, gaffs. and sail areas.
Last night he talked In his sleep and 7 heard him
mention Sandy Hook several times"
"I1l be right over" said the doctor. This Is truly
alarming"
Sir Cronble Iverness arrived presently at the home
Of Sir Thomas Upton and was shown to the sports
mans room at once.
We'll, how are you ~feeling7" asked the physician.
Pretty terrible" said sir Thomas hoarsely. "Its
the old weakness. I've felt 1t coming on for a long
time. I've tried to fight It off, but its no use"
"Whatre the symptoms this time?" asked the doc
tor.
same old symptoms" said Sir Thomas. toying
ability to concentrate on important business matters,
dull headache"
Irritable, impatient and easily annoyed by
~trifes?"
"Im afraid So"
cant sleep nisht?"
Hardly a wink. I just lie abed tossing and think
ing. Sometimes ! fall into a brief doze and have the
most startling dream. It's always the same dream;
that's the astonishing part"
what i it?"
"Well. I seem to be journeylng overseas at first
then I'm In some sort Of a water event I see a
lot Of boats Always there are two sailing vessels
that seem greater than the rest One OF them IS
an American yacht The other. It seems, belongs
to me ! see q race between these two vessels and
always my boat Is away out in the lead And then
7 wake"
ITS probably just a. we'll you wake up" suggest
ed the physician.
1T leaves me limp and lfeless. 7 Just can't 20 on
this way. I've tried to fight 1t off but
mo use trying 70 fight IL Off" said the physician.
ITS one Of the old spells. You've a challenge coming
Oh, that's ALL
T think you're right, doctor. Maybe some pills
would ..."
Nope. You've been immune a full decade. It's
IN your blood. You'll just have to have these spells
every decade or 50. The thing to do is Weld"
"Yield?"
yes" commanded the physician. GIVE In. Don't
suppress your challenge. Issue it to the New York
Yacht club At once. I could use cold water packs to
keep II down. but II would Be folly. You'll feel bet
ter as soon as you get II out or your system"
II suppose So" said Sir Thomas, calling for pen
and paper.
And SO II came to pass.

Health and Right Living
By ROYAL .. COPELAND, WI. I'D.
Former Commissioner or HcaIth@

Recently / read N most interesting
discussion about backache. 1t was
written by n man who has made ar
intensive study OF this complaint.
This article took up In detail some
OF the more common causes Of this
ailment.
The average person loc-s on back
ache as a disease. It Is MOTT Il
a symptom. In some cases 1t may
be merely the result OF fatigue OF
overwcrk. As a rule II is q warn
ing that there Is some underlying
condition which Is responsible for
the symptoms.
The doctor who 50 ably discusses
backache claSsifies the causes. First
on the list are those due to focal
infection. This includes the teeth,
tonsils. sinuseS and inteStines. An
infection I'm any one OF these cen
ters might be accompanied by pains
FRI the Joints and muscles. IL might
cause hackache.
Second come those cases due to
some disease OF the abdominal or
gans. Gall bladder trouble, SONS
infection or the kidneys. kidney
stones, gravel, appendicitis. and
uterine disturbance or displacement
would all come under this heading.
Many cases of backache are OF
nervous origin. ri may be a pass
ing sign OF q disturbed sys-
tenn.
Orthopedic conditions such as Nat
feet, fallen arches, misplaced YER
tebrae, strained ligaments, win ma
turally result In backache. This
form Of discomfort Is merely n re-
flex.
III women the most common cause
OF backache Is some disorder on the
pelvic organs. IL Is wise to find out
what Is wrong.
The efficiency OF the victim,
whether a mar or n woman, Is sure
to be lessoned III persistent backache
absorbs the happiness and vigor.
The constant, nagging down-bear-
ing. twisting. aching pain Is intoler-
able. No wonder loss or GOOD nature
and positive irTitahility are the ma
tural Accomplishments OF this dis
tressing symptom.
But. as you see. there are so many
possible causes for backache that II
isn't easy to get rid of Ii. But In
order to do SO ID viii be necessary
to study the case very carefully TO
locate the trouble. III you do not
find the cause at once do not be dis
couraged. There Is a cause. OF
course, and patient search will
find ID.

Washington Letter
BY HERBERT c. PLUAINrER

WASHINGTON. June 26-For the second time
George w. Wickersham has been summoned by a
president or the United States to quit his private law
practice and render public service.
William Howard Taft picked him to be. attorney
general under his administration. wickersham was
charged with responsibility or seeing that the new
Sherman antitrust law was enforced.
Many and severe were the criticisms hurled at him
during the four years he headed the department Of
justice. but through 1t all Taft stood by him. And
when Taft left the White House he described Wick
ersham as the pride Of his administration.
III venture Just a thought" Taft said. that II the
incoming president could put hts hand on as certainly
a successful attorney general as I have had he would
greatly rejoice
AFTER III YEARS
And now. some IL years later, President Hoover
has called upon George Wickersham to perform one
Of the most important tasks that c~onfronts his adj
ministration-to find a method whereby the laws Of
the United States may be better enforced.
Over on Vermont avenue. in the department Of
justice. there vet remain several men who we're aSso-
ciated with Wickersham when he was attorney gen
eraL. TO q man they agree that the president could
have made no better choice Of a chairman Of his law
enforcement commission.
They say Wickersham's judicial temperament
makes him especially suited for the kind OF a task
President Hoover has given him. Added To this Is
the fact that he has been essentially a student all OF
his life.
His ~unfaILing courtesy and kindness 70 even the
lowliest empl0ye Of the department Of justice Is re-
membered there stnl. Old-timers at the department
cite many instances when Wickersham endeared him
self to his suhordinates by taking time to attend to
the little things.
Hc was thoroughly liked and admired By every one
with whom lie came In contact.

SIEBRANDS TO HAVE
CONCESSIONS AT RODE0

Arrangements were made this
week with Siebrand Bros. to han
die all the concessions at the
stampede in July, with the excep-
ton of those which are run by
local people. The Siebrand Car
nival Co. has been known in the
past as a good clean show Their
outfit is larger than it was when
they showed here the last time.
It is understood that there will be
five riding devices, eight side
shows and about forty stands.
There was considerable criticism
heard last year about the kind of
concessions that were operating
on Main street, and the people OF
Wolf Point and vicinity will be
pleased to know that the commit
tee of the Commercial club in
charge of this, has this year signed
up a different sort of outfit to pro-
vide amusement for the crowd.

DOUBLE HEADER
TRACTOR SCHOOLS
COGSWELL IMPLEMENT AND
FARGEN SPONSOR DAY,
MARCH 5TH

By a coincidence which was
known to neither firm when
they each decided to sponsor a
tractor school, the dates for the
John Deere tractor school, put on
by the Cogswell Implement Co.,
and the Mccormick Deering
school, put on by the Fargen Imp
lement Co. happen to fall on Mar
5. When this was discovered an
attempt was made to change dates,
but both companies had sent out
advertising material not only in
the vicinity of Wolf Point but to
people in other towns where the
schools are being held, and the
schedules are fixed.
The MISUNDERSTANDING school
will be held in the Liberty theatre
and free lunch will be served at
noon. The John Deere school
will be held at the Coliseum and
lunch will be served at noon also.
While it would have been more
desirable to have the two schools
on two different days, there will
be a large crowd in
town on March 5th. Expert dem
onstrators will be here to talk on
every sort of tractor problem and
to explain the mechanism of the
tractors. 1t is expected that every
farmer who owns a tractor or who
plans to buy one will be in town
that day to learn all he can about
the different makes.
For the Fargen Implement COM
pany it is expected that Bert Lynn
and James Dolvin will have
charge of the school; while c.
R. Moe and Frank Carroll will
nave charge of the John Deere
school.

LAST HALF 1928 TAXES
BEAT THOSE OCT .-NOV. .'27

Some interesting figures have
been compiled by the treasurer's S
office on the tax collections in
Roosevelt county for October and
November as compared to the col
lections during the same months
last year.
That the delinquent taxes are
gradually being paid up and the
county tax payers getting on a
current footing is shown by the
fact that there was a decrease of
S22,41031 in the amount of delin-
quent taxes paid. Total delinquent
taxes in October and November
1927 amounted to S86,079.03 and
this year they were S64,66S.72.
Current taxes for the two months
last year amounted to S275,241.5S
as compared with S305, ,469.20 this
year, an increase of S30,22762
Hail insurance premiums collect
ed during October and November
.27 amounted to s1O,252.15 as COM
pared to s10,95S.76 for October and
November 1928.
Mr. McFarlan says that the past
season was the best collection time
the county has known.

N. ]. BENNET RECALLS
EARLY DAYS OF TOWN

Old timers in the town whose
residence dates back to the time
when Bill Sibbit had almost a
monopoly on the water supply in
Wolf Point, will appreciate the
following incident which is des-
cribed in letter from N. J. Ben
net of Carthage, S. Oak. who
writes as follows in renewing his
subscription. He says in part:
81 was one of the first subscrib-
ers, if not the first, on Hanson's
books. l happened to be down at
the depot when Bill Sibbit with
his old dun horse and three water
barrels in his wagon drove up.
Sibbit clambered across the train
and Jim Hill wanted to know if
anyone there had a just cause for
complaint, and Sibbit told him he
had. Jim Hill looked him over
and asked what it was and what
was his name He told Jim Hill
his name was Bill Sibbit and that
the men working up town had to
wait for their water and could do
nothing until they got it. Hill
told him that his complaint was a
Just one and ordered the train
cut, and gave instructions to keep
it cut across the crossings. Bill
thanked him and he never had to
wait again.
