Among the other possible industries
of the territory may be counted silk,
wine (Which recent legislation has at
tempted to encourage), alcohol from
bananas and from cane, and, as natu-
rally follows the production of alcohol,
the manufacture of perfumery. Up to
the present time the principal cane

About five years ago the De

the title Suggestions for the
Teaching of Cleanliness among

and also some of the most loathsome
diseases are frequently contained in
the mouth. In such cases anything
which is moistened by the saliva of
the infected person may, if it touches
the lips of another, convey disease. The
more direct the contact the greater the
danger
1t is the purpose of health officials to
keep in isolation all persons having
communicable diseases during the time
that they are infectious. In many
cases this is impossible. Little restraint
is put on certain mild diseases, as
Measles, Whooping- cough, Chicken
poX and Mumps, and even such dis
eases as Diphtheria, Scarlet Fever and
tuberculosis are frequently so mild as
to be unnoticed and children affected
with them mingle freely with others.
1t is probable that in such cases one
of the chief vehicles of contagion is
the secretion of the mouth and nose.
1t is believed that much can be done
to prevent Contagion by teaching hab-
its of cleanliness.
But if such instruction is to be effect
ual it must be continuous. The teacher
should notice and correct violations of
these rules as habitually as violations
of the more formal school rules are
corrected.
Even if the question of disease and
contagon did not enter into the mat
ter. at all the subject ought to be Civ
en- more attention by teachers. Our
schools should not only teach reading,
writing and arithmetic, but it is, per-
haps, quite as important that they
should inculcate cleanliness, decency,
refinement and manners.
Cleanliness should be taught for it's
own sake, even if it had no relation
whatever to health.

WHY BEMILJI EXPECTS

Bemidji, MINI, Aug. 4.-As a result
Of circular issued jointly by the Min
nesota & International and the North
ern Pacific railway companies, it is
probable that new sawmill will be
erected in Bemidii. -.
The circular states in effect that
neither company will hereafter haul
logs to any point other than one that
has a sawmill on either of their lines
owner by the lumber company shipping
the logs. Just what was intended BY
the promulgation Of the circular is not
quite. clear, but it will, according to a
prominent lumberman, necessitate the
erection of another sawmill in Bemidii.
The man who gave the information
that the circular had been sent out
says: "There are many companies
operating in the vicinity of Bemidj
which do not own or operate mills on
either the Northern Pacific or the Min
nesota & International, and to get their
logs shipped to the desired point will
undoubtedly cause them no little con-
cern. There is but one solution of the
problem, and that is the erection Of a
large mill at Bemidji, which is splen-
didly located for it. The circular prac.
tically ends shipping logs to Saltwater
and several other prominent points. I
predict that you will see another mill
in course Of construction here in the
next six months.'
