Official County and City Paper

If the affairs Of the city were
regarded more in the light Of
common property, in which all
have an interest, and that the
money spentin improving streets
was also an improvement to their
own property =Bemidj would be
"a model fol. all to pattern after
within a year: A man does not
regret the money he spends on
his own front yard. He feels
that the expenditure is for him
self to procure something which
he wants and something in which
he and his family can take pleas
ure. Why can't we take that
same pleasure in improving our
city.

Unfortunntc Chickens.

A farmer who has tried Shanghai
fowls and found them wanting gives
the following account of their peculiar
tiles. Their true name, he says. Is
SHANK high and he pronounces them
rightly named.
They have no body at all, and when
the head is cut off the legs come right
apart. don't see how they can sit on
their eggs. Ny jackknife can sit as
wei as they can.
They don't sit on the roost the same
as other chickens do; not bit of it.
When they attempt to sit as other
chickens do. they fall off backward.
They sit when they eat, know. for
I've seen 'eni do it. And I've seen lem
try to eat standing, but they couldn't
fetch it. for when they peck at grain
of corn ON the ground they don't moren
half reach it. but their head hobs right
between their legs and makes 'em turn
a complete somerset.
I'd as soon see pair of tongs or
eompasscs walking about my yard as
these shank highs.
They crow, too. long time before
day. when 1t isn't day, probably be-
rause their legs are SO long that they
ran see daylight long before common
chicken can.

A German physician advocates In a
German paper the frequent taking OF
hot baths. These. he urges, are much
more healthful than the cold plunge.
which he thinks few systems can stand.
The water should be at temperature
in the beginning of los degrees T., this
to be increased until the water is as
hot as can be borne. The length Of the
first bath should not be more than 1--WE
minutes. and at no time should it be
longer than is agreeable with no sense
of discomfort apparent
The writer cites in support of his
theory the practice common In Japan
among all classes Of its people of taking
these hot baths. The porter walking
along with his load and fatlgued TO the
point of exhaustion. drops it for ten
minutes while he takes hot bath at
some public bathhouse. He energies re-
freshed and strengthened and goes on
his way rejoicing.
The writer considers that there is no
danger Of taking cold after a hot bath
and does not even advocate the use OF
a cold shower to follow the bath. Hot
water is known to be an excellent cos
metic for the face. and 1t is only fair
to assume that its revival Of skin tissue
is not confined 10 that part OF the body.
