Thus far the storm has brought sea-
sonal precipitation in many sections of
Northern California to nearly normal.
Although the storm was of immeas-
urable benefit to agriculture, damage to
railroads and serious delay in air travel
and highway traffic made the cost high.
Railroad washoutS along the Western
Pacific line near Quincy, where the
rains assumed torrential proportions,
forced cancellations of schedules
through the Feather River Canyon.
Stanley Andrews. IS, engineer, was
killed and his body swept downstream
by the swift waters.

shows that the disease was dan
gerous to babies, taking the lives
of 81 infants under one year of
age, and 81 when they had reached
their second birthdays. It then
subsidized somewhat until the age
period of 10 to IA years, at which
period 80 succumbed to the di-
sease." At that carefree time from
Is to 10, this enemy of youth forged
ahead at an alarming rate claiming
as victims, 108 boys and girls. The
ratio of deaths at these ages was
two girls to each boy. From 20 to
"a, when young men and women
are establishing homes and getting
started in industry, tuberculosis
killed 500 Minnesotans. Between
35 to A, the best years of life from
an economic, standpoint, 268 lives
were shifted out by the disease.
Although tuberculosis still re
mains the principal cause of death
in the age period from 10 TO 40. it
has dropped from first to sixth
place as a cause of death in Min
nesota, the bulletin points out. On
ly eight states in the union have a
lower death date from this disease.
1t is anticipated that the death toll
from tuberculosis throughout the
United States this year will number
between 10000 and 100000 people.

clared. Help prevent and help

considering the many serious di-
seases, the first indication of which
may be indigestion, the question
may well be asked why not dis
cover these diseases when first they
appear, at time when treatment
may be effective?' Why wait so
long to know what the actual cause
of your indigestion is, only to find
that you have some organic disease
that is then too far advanced to be
cured. Your insurance against this
possibility is an examination by
your physician. If the only thing
you need is correction Of your diet,
and you follow the advice given,
you will be wen repaid. IF it is
found that your indigestion is the
beginning of some serious disease,
it may be that this early knowledge
will make it possible to add years
to your life. IF, however, you elect
to guess what the trouble causing
your indigestion is, and you guess
diet, and you are right-you are
lucky. If you guess diet, and you
have the beginning Of an ulcer of
the stomach you have made mis-
take that you must pay for. Guess
work is poor policy. It pays poor
dividends in both health and COM
fort.
"Isn't it plain that there is
cause for your Indigestion, and
isn't it equally, plain that the prop
er treatment is the removal of that
cause? Do not get the habit of
taking drugs, no matter how harm
less you may consider them. Don't
get to be pill swallower.' Your
stomach should accommodate any,
thing you ought to eat without be-
ing drugged after each meal with
digestive mixtures Baking soda is
not much good for cancer of the
stomach, and patent medicines
haven't very high score for cures
in chronic appendicitis.
eff you are having distress and
indigestion after meals, and if SIM
pie regulation of your diet, such as
eating regularly and cutting down
on the amount OF. food and eating
well-balanced meals fails to effect
prompt relief, lose no time in as
pertaining the real cause"
'Three good rules to follow when
eating are:
1. Don't put anything more into
your mouth until you have swallow
ed what you are chewing.
2. Don't voluntarily swallow.
8. Don't drink water or other
liquids when you have food in your
mouth.

Long Prairie Educator
rendered Federal Job
j. W. Kaufman May Become Di-
rector of Agriculture in Indian
Field Service

J. w. Kaufman, for the past six
years instructor of agriculture in
the Long Prairie high school, left
yesterday for Washington, D. c.,
after being granted two weeks
leave of absence by the board of
education, in order that he might
confer with officials Of the De-
partment of the Interior regard
ing a government position tender
ed to him this week. The position
offered Mr.. Kaufman is that of
Director of Agriculture in the In
dian Field Service, newly Great
ed position under the direction of
he Commissioner of Indian affairs.
Last spring Mr.. Kaufman took a
civil service examination and also
wrote a thesis entitled, adult Edu-
cation Among the Indians" and
made such a creditable record both
as to the examination and the the
sis that he last week received word
from the Department of the In
terror that he has been appointed
to the new position. The position
lis being held open pending his de-
cision as to whether he will accept
or reject the offer.
The duties Of the new position
will require Mr.. Kaufman to take
charge of agricultural education
among the Indians Of Minnesota,
although he says that the govern
ment has delegated him as direct
or at large" and he may be called
upon to serve in any part Of the
United States. For the time being
he has been offered the position as
director in Minnesota with head
quarters in Cass Lake, and he left
for that point yesterday on his
way to Washington to investigate
the possibilities of the appoint
ment.
For the past six years Mr.. Kauf-
man has made his home in Long
Prairie and the residents of the
community will be sorry to hear
that he is considering position,
which if accepted, will take him
from the village. During the time
he has been here he has made
national reputation for the local
high school and the offer Of the
government, which carries with it
a substantial increase in salary,
comes in recognition of the excep-
tionally fine work he has been do
ing in this community along edu-
cational lines.-Long Prairie

Improper Diet Frequent
Cause Of Acute Indigestion
Distress After Meals May Be Open
ing Chapter of Serious Story,
Experts Say

st. Paul, Dec. 4,-Some people
eat too much or too fast causing
indigestion, others eat the wrong
food and still others have some or
ganic trouble, but the presence Of
distress after meals may be the
opening chapter of serious story,
the Educational Committee of the
Minnesota State Medical Associa-
ton warned in a bulletin issued to-
day. Because indigestion is so
common among people it is often
disregarded. People who suffer
from it should watch the foods
which they are eating to discover
the cause. Cutting down the
amount of food often eliminates the
trouble.
"The most frequent cause of in
digestion is improper diet" de-
clares the bulletin. Either the
amount of food is too large or the
character Of food eaten is improp-
er, or it is eaten too rapidly. It is
a wonder that the human stomach
does its work at all, considering the
Wdy IL 10 dOoSCo. 4Ou ONCllOdu
your stomach with all manner of
improper foods, and then it balks
and you call it indigestion. The
prevention of this condition is sim
ply the application of common
sense-regular meals, proper food
and not too much, and thorough
mastication.
There are many causes for in
digestion other than improper
diet, and it is these possible causes
that make it a complaint that
should be looked into. Not infre-
quently it is the only manifestation,
to yourself at least, Of chronic APP
pendicitis; it is the early and usual
advance agent Of ulcer and cancer
of the stomach; it is the faithful
companion Of gall stones. Kidney
diseases are often preceded by
spells of Indigestion; diseases of
the liver are almost constantly as
ISOLATED with indigestion, and it ac-
companies certain nervous disord-
ers. Constipation and indigestion
are first cousins

State Building Board
Fails to Decide on Site
Telegram From Cass Gilbert on LO-
cation COnsidered-SessiOn
Adjourned Until Dec.

st. Paul, Nov. 23-Members of
the state building commission met
Friday, considered a recommends
ton by Cass Gilbert, architect of
the state capitol, that the proposed
state office building be placed on
the Wabasha street site, and then
adjourned until December 10 with
out taking action on the matter.
Mr.. Gilbert in a telegram to the
commission declared the University
avenue site selected by the commits
land. He recommended that a
building be constructed on Waba-
sha street, to correspond in width,
heighth and design with the Min
nesota Historical society building
and that it be built of the same
material.
The state capitol architect also
recommended that the proposed
new building be so located that it
will not detract from the symmetry
of the capitol building and environ
ment. The major axis of the pro-
posed building, he said, should ex-
tend east and west instead of north
and south and across st. Peter
street if necessary to obtain the re-
quired area.
The commission is at present re-
considering it's selection of the Uni
versity avenue site as result of
protests by various groups in the
Twin Cities and throughout the
state against placing the new build
ing at the rear of the capitol on
University avenue.
Friday the commission met at 10
a. m. and until noon considered Mr..
Gilbert,s telegram. The meeting
was then adjourned until 2 p. m. but
at that time A. ]. Peterson, direct
or of personnel for the department
Of administration and finance, was
the only one of the seven members
Of the commission present.
An hour later Frank Nutter, sec
rotary of the Big Three, appeared
with an announcement that the
meeting had been adjourned until
December. Representatives of the
st. Paul Association and newspa-
per men waited unil p. m. for the
m Getting to reconvene.
Representative r. w. Hitchcock
of Hibbing, chairman Of the COM
mission, stated late Friday that the
commission plans to select site
at the meeting in December. He
said several members of the COM
mission asked to be given an op-
portunity to study the situation fur
Their before voting.
According to the state architect.
G. L. Johnson, it would cost about
$780, 900 more than the s.. SOC, 900 APP
propriated by the legislature for
the building if we placed it on
Wabasha street." said Mr.. Hitch
cock. TT would cost only about
$4,000 more if we placed the build
ing or the University avenue site.
Members of the commission felt
they wished to give the matter
more consideration and Mr.. John
ston has been asked to check his
figures again"
