ALARMING STATE
OF AFFAIRS

"There are fifteen or twenty OF
the smaller houses OF i'll fame
running wide open in this city,"
remarked an officer to an INDIE
PENDENT man the other day.
"Then. why don't you close
them," the officer was asked by
the reporter. EYES, but that is
another matter" The officer
wishes to do his duty in this
matter, we know, but it would
be folly to cause the arrest OF
anyone until he was certain that
there was sufficient evidence to-
convict.
With an extra supply OF police,
it should be a comparatively
easy matter to keep these people
guessing. We have laws and
they should be respected. The
officers should he backed up by
the powers over them. Usually
that is the reason the laws are
not enforced.
Minot is a growing city and
naturally such places will exist
here perhaps for all time to come.
But if the laws are enforced, we
can make it pretty hot for the
law-breakers and much OF the
degrading business will cease. If
such business is tolerated here at
all, it should be confined to one
portion OF the city and not scat
tered among the best residence
portions of the city.

ATTEMPIED][ I! GRlM an IL -

Three thousand two hundred
head Of western cattle were on
i this weeks market and their dis
position was effected at compar-
atively better values than any
other class OF cattle received, say
Sinclair, Gillett 4 Co., Live Stock
Commission Merchants OF Chi
cago, in a special letter to the
INDEPENDENT and they advise
as follows:
While last week witnessed the open
ing of the western grass cattle season,
this week practically marked the inau-
guration of the marketward movement,
$500 being received during the week.
Mondays supply of 900 head, the larg--
est supply for any one day thus far and
comprising cattle from Montana, Wyom-
ing, Colorado and North Dakota, found
very satisfactory market, beef values
ranging from s3.5O@46O on that day, the
former being for tail-end sorts. While
the quality OF these cattle was consid-
cred generally good, they lacked the top
kinds, such as came last week, but tops
as compared with Texans sold on Mon
days market, were 25c higher. Tues
days supply waslimited, but outlet good.
North Dakota beeves reaching $3.50.
COWS bringing around S4.25, feeders $3.50
and heifers $3.50. The heifers, however,
were of only fair quality and lacked
flesh. Wednesdays supply of only 32o
head was Of an inferior grade and light,
and while trade was slow, values re-
manned normally steady, ia feeders of
1l5O-lb weights selling at $3.50. Forty
loads from Montana and Wyoming ar.
rived Thursday. Trade was active and
big drove of Montanians were sold at
S4.65, COWS selling around $3.50 and
heifers up to $40.
We do not anticipate any heavy mar
ketng of western cattle until the later
half Of August. This will give the grow
ing corn crop an opportunity to still fur
Their advance, and If the condition at
present can be taken as an index to what
is to follow, a large supply of corn is IN
sight for this fall, especially when it is
considered that the acreage this year has
been considerably increased. Very few
native feeders have as yet stocked their
feed lots for the coming fall and winter,
consequently, we look for an improved
trade in stockers and feeders AS soon as
the bulk begin to arrive.
We wish to caution western cattle
shippers against the senseless and I'M
businesslike method of crowding Is per
cent of the weeks supply on Mondays
and Wednesdays markets. Buying ex-
cessive supplies of cattle, even at sharp
decline, does not result favorably to the
packer, and are almost certain to be fol-
lowed by congested outlet the follow
ing day. Native feeders had gradually
drifted into the practice, and thereby
sacrificed thousands of dollars. Receipts
thus far from western territory have
been evenly distributed and if range cat
tlemen can be induced to follow the five
day plan, it will undoubtedly result in
/ profit to them. Buyers favor it, and
there is no plausible reason why we
should not have as good market on
the offdays as on Mondays and Wednes-
days. Prospects for the season are coed

A person at the age of sixty years

To show that this is no exaggera-
ton it is only necessary to call at
tention to the fact that fully half Of
the tubercular patients placed in out
door consumptive hospitals make a
satisfactory recovery. If fresh air
will cure the disease 1t is certainly a
wonderful preventive of it. It is not
more reasonable to deliberately
breathe impure air than It is to drink
impure water or to eat unhealthful
food or wear infected clothing.

The usual effect of draft Of cold
air upon the back Of the neck is a cold
and a sore throat. Many years ago
DR.. Brown Sequard an eminent
French physician, devised means by
which sore throat from this cause
might be prevented. BY blowing upon
the back Of the neck with a pair Of bel
lows, increasing the time each day, he
trained his patients until they could
endure this treatment for bali an hour
without injury.
1t is not necessary to be exposed to
draft of air on the back Of the neck
in order to obtain this result. BY
means Of the cold bath, the wet-sheet
rub, the shower bath. towel friction,
etc, the skin may be educated to con
tract ON the slightest increase Of cold.
Daily exposure to the contact Of cold
air is Of the utmost importance. 1t is
because Of the constant exposure TO
cold that the Indians body is all face
the skin of his whole body has
learned to take care OF itself.

A traveller in Mongolia writes:
There are some hot springs on the
road about twenty miles north of
Chingpeng. The place is named
Tangshan. The arrangements for
those anxious to benefit by their heal
ing properties are very primitive. A
row of twenty to thirty wooden boxes
the size of an ordinary packing case
is ranged beside the road In these
sit bathers Of every age and both
sexes, with their heads protruding.
Attendants with buckets continually
refill Che boxes from the springs. For
less luxurious bathers there is accom-
mediation in pool which has been
dug out close by, In this they squat,
scooping up the water and pouring IT

An excellent and simple remedy
for cold feet is the application of cold
water. Step into the bathtub, let the
cold water run in a little faster than
1t runs out. Standing in the water,
rub one foot with the other, rapidly,
ten or twelve times. Then change and
treat the other foot in the same man
ner. Keep up this alternate rubbing
for about three minutes. The feet
will have become very red, and as you
step out of the water, you will find
them burning and glowing with the
warm blood brought into them by this
means.

J TUBERCULOSIS I'm CHILDREN 4
I Appalling Mortality Among the Little Ones Due
8 to This Cause-Proper Attention to Health Of Z
{ Mothers Would Save Many Lives
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

The number of deaths due to tuber-
sculosis is tremendous. When the word
is spoken one instinctively thinks of
pulmonary consumption. This is the
form which attacks adults and which
we see daily gathering in its victims
There are other forms, however, more
common in children, that levy trib-
ute upon them without calling atten-
ton to the relationship between these
diseases and consumption of the
lungs.
DR.. Jacob is authority for the state
ment that Tuberculosis Kills as many
PEOPLE, old and young, as diphtheria,
Group, whooping cough scarlatina,
measles and typhoid fever taken to-
Bether." In all of our cities active
steps have been taken to protect the
PEOPLE from the above named dis
cases. Until quite recently, however,
a few years at most, nothing was done
to reduce the mortality from tuber-
,culosis.
Now, however, the attention of the
world, the common people and the
health authorities, has been called to
Its durability and preyentability.
The causes, the modes of scatter
ing, and the prevention are all being
studied, and an educational campaign
is on to wipe out this white terror"
The children suffer from tubercu-
losis of the bones, the bowels and
lymph glands. Tubercular meningitis
is frequently found in early life and is
uniformly fatal. Only by careful at
tention to tho food and daily habits
can the rising generation be made i'm
mune from these varied forms of tu-
berculosis.
The fact that over one half of all
babies born die before they reach the
age of FIVE years, proves that the con
stitutional capital" bequeathed them
is small Is the proper attention paid
to. the diet, exercise and out-of-door
fife of the mother? If this were done,
the child would undoubtedly have
greater vitality and could by proper
care and education live above the tu-
berculosis OF childhood and of adult
life.
