CHURCH SANITATION.
Necessity For Flooding the Build

inEs with Fresh Ai-.
After every church service church
windows and doors should be thrown
wide open ana the pure, fresh outdoor
air allowed To sweep through and
through the building. thoroughly cleans
Ing it OF the poisonous air and filling IL
with pure oxygen.
A church may become a very death
trap FOR congregation If il is not
properly ventilated. The air becomes
vltiated and filled with the carbonic
acid gas breathed out by the many
people. Then the congregation goes
home, the church is closed and the i'm
pure and polluted air is allowed to re-
main In the church throughout the
week.
The next time the people assemble
they must rebreathe this same old
dead air. III il is i'm the winter time
the air has been heated. making it that
much worse. The windows are all
closed The people come in from the
outdoor air and sit down to breathe
this stuify atmosphere. They become
drowsy and fidgety and nervous. Theif
heads begin to ache. They don't know
what is the matter with them. They
never think of opening window and
letting in some fresh air.
When they go out into the winter air
again they take cold. They have ton
silitis. bronchitis. pneumonia. and they
lay the foundation for consumption
all because the church had not been
ventilated
If you go to church or have anything
to do with church let your voice be
heard in this matter. Insist upon It
that the church be aired thoroughly
after every service and that during ev-
cry service there be some means of ven
tilation provided. If you are n preach
err, preach l. your people the gospel of
fresh air Provide them with air. and
they will not 80 to sleep while you are
talking. Drive home to them the sin
OF poliuting their lungs with poisonous
air. Impress upon them the sacredness
OF the body and the harmfulness of
communicating ii with the unclean air
OF an unventilated church Never talk
to them about saving their souls while
their lungs are being poisoned by foul
mir.
See that your church is swept and
cleaned and busted, that the life Civ
ing oxygen is allowed to play through
every corner OF it, that the health and
comfort of the congregation are as
sured. This will constitute a more last
ing benefit than all the prayer and song

physique of the natives of South

them as big. massive men. with

Even then, although it brought a

turned inquiringly to his wife; her
head was thrown back among the
cushions of the chair, and her hands
were closped above it. She was watch

from her shoulders. and among the
snowy laces at her breast something
cleaned bright and yellow. In an In.

color in her face deepened and her

At the next meeting Of the county

will doubtless hand III his resignation as
amember Of the board and. his successor
will have to be appointed. While there
will likely be a number Of names pre-

q towns and villages, yet So far there
has not been much talk Of any special
candidates We have heard of one name

dates are showing up. Governor White.
not content with having broken the re.
cord by serving two terms, has announ-
ced his candidacy for a third term.
Among others who have signi6ed their
willingness to serve the people as COVER
nor. or their friends have for them, are
Lieut. Governor Bartlett, L. Y. Sarles of
Trail, who was a prominent candidate
two years ago, Z. B. Hanna of Fargo,
and others.
In this district, a successor to Judge
Kneeshaw will be elected, who will prob.
ably be himself. Attorney Cleary OF
Langdon has been mentioned as prob
able candidate in opposition.
In the county there will be complete
set of officials to elect or re-elect, as the
case may be. 1t is quite probable that
the whole Of the present outfit will be on
hand for denomination and reelection.
AS whole they. are pretty good set of
officials and the county could do worse
than re.elect them all, but it is long
time yet to election day and good work
in office does not always mean re-elect-
ion. The dear people get notions Of
their own at times and there is no fore
telling the outcome in local elective Off
ces. However, according to the Hamil-
ton Independent, Supt. Alexander at
least has. cinch.
It is too early in the game for the Pio-
neer Express to express its preferences
as to candidates, either for state or coun-
ty Offices. There are several reasons for
this. In some cases we have no SPECIAL
preference at this time; another is that
the support of any candidate before the
convention is held, is apt to be construed
into opposition to the. candidate nomi-
mated at the convention, if It happened
that our choice was not ratified. Then
it often happens that a personal choice
in one direction may be modified by the
exigencies in another direction. Politics
is game where one must be willing to
lose in some places in order to gain a
greater victory in other places.
However, the Pioneer Express expects
to be lin it" as time goes on to the full
extent OF a republican newspaper.
