al appearance in Importance to the
individual in his relations to others.
The best way to teach a child distinct
and refined speech is to let it hear
only such. Enlarged tonsils and aden-
oids when they exist should always be
removed. Singing should be eneour-
aged, for not only does it improve the
voice, but is an excellent form Of
respiratory gymnastics.
Efficiency Of the Lungs.
The highest efficiency Of the lungs
as organs Of blood oxygenation de-
mands a well-formed thorax. This is
the portion Of the body most often de-
formed, and most often is the deform-
ity acquired. The chest acts as an air
pump sucking the air into and press
ing it out Of the lungs, and if deform-
ed must do it's work improperly. In
these cases, because of poor expansion
of the lungs, tuberculosis is most
common. Deformities Of the chest
originate frequently in school. The
desk being of improper height for the
child, he is required to constantly
comfort his body to suit the condi-
tions present.: OF: BECAUSE the back Of
the seat is not arrsHged.as to ALLOW Of
his resting his spine in the erect po-
sition he is constantly, when rest is
necessary, compelled to double him
self over, contracting his chest, and
often, when the practice frequently
occurs and is Of long duration, cur
vatures and twists of the spine result.
These deformities might be prevented
by having desks in the school of Diff
ferent heights, the heights not to suit |
the class but the individuals in the
class.
It is obviously impossible for desk !
that is of suitable height for boy
of three feet and half to be equally
suitable for one foot or two taller,
yet how seldom do we see desks Of
different heights in our schools. Ere
quent Interruptions Of study by exer-
cises and respiratory gymnastics
should be allowed and taught in
schools especially for the young. The
wearing of shoulder braces do more
harm than good in these deformed
cases, for the body depending upon
the artificial support the muscles be-
come weakened. It is so obvious that
the wearing of tightly laced corsets
must lessen the respiratory capacity
and gradually deform the shape Of
the chest that no further mention
1eed be made of this garment.
The purity of the air inhaled is as s
necessary as a well-formed chest to
he health Of the lungs. Good venti-

lation, the avoidance Of over-crowd-
ing and of dust laden atmospheres
should be insisted upon. It is need
less to call attention to the fact that
contact with diseases acquired by
means Of the respiratory tract should
be avoided as much as possible.
Among the best exercises for the de-
velopment Of the respiratory muscles
are general calisthenics, the so-called
"army setting up irill," hand ball,
swinging, rowing, etc., but no exercise
should be continued until it becomes
a physical strain.
Attention To the Ear.
Little need be said concerning the
hygiene of the ear, except to condemn
the pernicious habit of attempting to
pick wax out Of the ear. with sharp
instrument. The healthy ear is so
constructed that wax does not collect
in it, and no instrument Of applica-
tion is necessary for its removal. When
such masses do collect as they some
times will their removal should be in
trusted only to skilled hands,. as much
injury may be done to the drum mem
brane by those ignorant Of the ear.
Likewise the wearing Of plugs pf
cotton in the, ear is to be condemned
for not only is it uncleanly, but prone
to interfere with the proper exit Of
wax. Mention must be made Of Gear
ache" This is sometimes produced
by the most trivial causes, but just
as often is the symptom Of serious
disease of the auditory apparatus
which may threaten not only the hear
ing, but the life of the patient. Most
often only after a most thorough ex-
animation can the cause be discov-
cred. "Eardrops'' in countless va
riety have been commended as infal-
lible. AS a rule they not only do no
good, but add materially to the trou-
bic. An earache should never be
thought lightly of and its cause
should be ascertained at the earliest
possible moment.

downward dragging Of the abdomina
organs leads to displacements and de.
rangements Of the pelvic organs, anc
genito-urinary diseases so common in
women are the natural result. Regu,
larity in the evacuation of the bowels
is essential in order that digestion be
perfect. The constant taking Of drugs
for this purpose is to be avoided. Reg
ularity is best obtained by proper
food, proper exercise and the forma-
ton Of daily habit preferably after
the morning meal.
Care in Respiration.
For the maintenance Of health, at
tention to the respiratory apparatus
is as necessary as that Of the alimen-
tary canal. The respiratory appara-
tus consists of the nose, larynx,
trachea, bronchial tubes and lungs.
By means Of these passages air en-
ters the chest cavity and is brought
into such relationship with the blood
that is pumped to the lungs by the
heart that the blood is furnished With
oxygen and relieved of its surplus
of carbon dioxide gas. The mouth is
not part Of the respiratory appara-
tus, and it's use as such allows dust
and microbes to enter the lower res
piratory passages which otherwise
would be arrested in the nose. The
bronchial tubes and windpipe In
"mouth-breathers'' contain many
more bacteria than in those who
breathe through the nose, and in this
way tuberculosis, pneumonia, inhu-
enza, bronchitis and other diseases
are more easily acquired. Attention
then should be paid to this part Of the
tract. If the nose is de-
formed, or diseased or obstructed re-
lief must be obtained from the ply
sician; if habit is the cause Of mouth
breathing it should be broken. A
healthy nose needs no care by means
IF sprays, nasal douches and the like.

# cold, as by use of the cold shower
path in the morning; by preventing !

lir is excessively dry, and by the
lvoidance of dusty and irritating at
nosphere.

it may be said that alcohol is unnec
essary. Not only may it result in in
ebriety, but it is capable Of producing
serious disturbances Of digestion
With its continued use in any form il
is possible so to disturb the nervous
system that nausea, loss of appetite
and other functional disturbances
arise; and, if the practice is still fur.
ther continued, congestion and ca
tarrh of the stomach and irritation
Of the liver may be expected.
It is generally recognized that pro-
longed bathing and great exercise
should not be INDUCED in just after a
meal, but it is common for people who
are physically exhausted after a
game Of tennis, or bicycle ride or
after a prolonged surf bath to indulge
in a hearty meal without having pre-
viously rested. It is nevertheless true
that functional energy for the time
being apparently diminished after
such exercises, and in some people d.
gestion is interrupted.
Proper Clothing. 49,.
The influence Of carriage and dreos
on digestion is not generally reeogniz-
ed. For the correct performance Of
function on the part Of the stomach,
intestines and liver it is necessary
that free and properly related move
ments of these organs should take
place. Such movements are impossi-
BILE in the large majority of women
because of tight lacing. A certain
amount Of intra-abdominal pressure
is necessary if yiscera Of that region
are to be held in their proper places
and proper relations. The erect po-
sition in sitting and standing should
be encouraged, so as to prevent a
constant relaxation Of the abdominal
which otherwise pouch out
and thus favor a descent of the or
gans. This position should be taught
from childhood and insisted upon in
our schools. There is perhaps moth
ing that interferes with digestion in
women more than the wearing Of cor
sets. 1t is said that over so per cent
Of civilized W men have developed
the condition known as "enteropto-
sis,' which means that the stomach,
the intestines and frequently the liv-
9r and kidneys are dragged downward
and remain permanently out Of place.
This condition more than any other
cause is responsible for the constipa-
ion, backache, headache, debility, bill
BUSINESS, early loss Of complexion and
hat long list of ailments of which |

,ries are victims. Furthermore. the

proper habits and poorly prepared
food, and irregularity in the hours of
eating all contribute to produce the
dyspeptic. In these cases we are apt
to consider that the stomach is acting
in the role Of monitor; but if we are
sufficiently wise it may often be re-
garded as that Of a kind mentor.
Three meals day are required by
the ordinary person and these should
be sufficiently far apart to allow for
perfect digestion in the stomach and
then a period of rest for that organ.
The heavy meal Of the day should
be taken when the worry and work Of
the day is at an end so that the blood
necessary for digestion may not be
taken away from the digestive or
gans as will necessarily be done if we
resume mental or physical work i'm
mediately after eating. Regarding
the quantity and quality of food to
be TAKEN. that necessarily depends
upon many things. The hard working
laborer requires food Of different
quality and more Of it than he who
leads sedentary life.
A study Of the teeth Of man alone
is sufficient to show that he was in
tended by God to be an omnivorous
animal. The diet therefore should be
diversified, and always should an easi-
ly digestible food be preferred to one
hard of digestion.
The high seasoning Of food is as
rule to be avoided for it not only de-
presses the sense Of taste for simpler
foods, but also exercises harmful
influence in irritating the gastric and
intestinal mucous membranes and the
liver.
When To Drink Water.
The question of drinking water is
one that calls for some consideration.
About eighty ounces Of fluid should
be taken daily. This Of course in
cludes that taken in combination with |
solid foods. Most people Of seden-
tary habits take too little water, and
err in taking it for the most part dur
ing meals. There is no objection to a
certain amount Of water when eating,
but the habit Of washing down each
mouthfu1 with a swallow Of water is
wrong; for not only does it prevent
the conversion Of starch into sugar,
which is one Of the important func-
tons of the saliva, but it also washes
into the stomach masses Of food often
100 large for proper digestion by that
organ. The proper time for taking
he bulk Of water is between meals
and preferably early in the morning
and late at night. AS a general rule

Good Cheer a Factor.

While faulty mastication has much
to do with improper digestion there
are many other factors that contrib
ute to this end. Among these may be
mentioned the mental state. It is no
idle phrase to say that a contented
mind, willing disposition, and a
joyous nature give rise to good diges-
tion, while on the other hand remorse,
worry, over responsibility, petulance,
envy, jealousy, and other undesirable
mental states give rise to such dis
turbance both in primary nutrition
and cellular metabolism that good
health is not to be obtained. This
explains the fact why a vacation, a
change Of scene and even associations
sometimes improve. the digestion
when careful dieting and other meth
DDS have failed to bring relief. I'm

AIDED IN LOoTlNG CONCERN,
Directors Of Philadelphia Trust Com
pany to Be Arrested.


Philadelphia, Sept. 7.-Rumors OF
arrests of directors of the looted Real
Estate Trust company fill the air. Dis.
trict Attorney Bell declared in the
most emphatic terms that no man will
be spared in the effort to bring to
Justice those responsible for the dissi.

statement is made that two directors.
who are also members of the bar, have
prOtited to the extent Of $750,0OO in
the past three years by accepting fees
from Adolph Segal for passing on Sc
curity rendered by him for loans from
the bank aggregating s5,sO000O. So
far as IS known warrants have not yet
been issued for these men. but the
public is awaiting with breathless in
terest sensational arrests of directors
who stood high in the community be-
fore the crash and exposure came.
President Nipples plaintive cry
from his grave, "Segal got ALL" has
aroused the depositors to high pitch

active part in the Investigation of the
affairs of the trust company and facts
are coming to light almost hourly re-
vealing new forms of duplicity on
the part of the men entrusted with

LOGS TEAR up TRACK
and DELAY PASSENGER
Morning N. & |. Train Late, Because
Of Log Train Accident Near
Bridgie.

The south. bound M. & I. pas
senger train was delayed forty
minutes this morning through
being held at Funkley last night,
on account of an accident to a
log train, a mile south of Bridgie,
yesterday afternoon. The log
train was going south at a good
rate of speed when several of
the logs on one of the cars
became detached and rolled to
the roadbed, tearing up the
ties and the track for 100 feet.
A car was badly smashed and
the track made impossible.
The rails were not replaced in
time to allow the north bound
passenger train last evening to
pass on to Big Falls, and the
train was held at Funkley all
night. This morning the train
went north from Funkley to the
scene of the wreck and the
passengers that had been brought
down on the local freight from
Big Falls were taken aboard.
This caused a delay of forty
minutes, and when the train
arrived here, no stop was made
for breakfast, which is the usual
custom, but the train immedi-
ately pulled out for Brainerd.
Today the work Of clearing the
track and replacing the rails has
been pushed at Bridgie and it is
likely that by this evening the
passenger rorth-bound can run
to Big Falls as usual.

In Last Two Winters Has Logged Thirty
Out Of About One Hundred Mill
ion Feet.
EXTENSION OF TIME MUST BE
ASKED BY MOST LUMBERMEN
Are Finding It impossible to Complete
Cutting on Reservations in
Five Years.

William Lyon of Burlington.
Iowa, general manager for the
Burlington Lum Der company,
spent yesterday in Bemidji, in
connection with the logging
which his company has been and
is at present doing in this part
of Minnesota.
The Burlington company was
one of the successful bidders for
the pine that was disposed of on
the Chippewa reservation at the
Cass Lake sales two years ago,
securing about 1OO,O0O,0OO feet
at the two sales. Most of this
pine is located in Town 144-29,
south of Schley, around Portage
lake, and in Town 146-25, north
west of Deer River. The Bur
llngton company has logged two
winters on this tim Der and has
cut about 30, 100000 feet, there
being left an aggregate of
O,OOO,O 900. .z.
The company also secured
large amount of timber located
on deceased" allotments, which
it is logging, and has just com
pleted cleaning up a large amount
of private pine which it owned
north and northeast of Cass
Lake, and which was driven to
Cass Like, hoisted there and
taken to Minneapolis and thence
to Burling ton via Pokegame dam
and the Mississippi Boom com.
pany S river drive.
When the contracts were made
between the government and the
lumber companies which secured
the pine on the reservations, it
was agreed that all the pine
should be cut and gotten out of
the way in five years time. It is
stated that the companies, in
most all cases, will be forced to
ask for an extension of time on
these cuttings, as the amount of
pine on the lands is greatly over
running the estimate made by
the government. This will have
no effect on the price obtained by
the government, however, as the
logs are II paid for according to
bank scale after they are cut.

A crowd Of men, women and
children of Bemidji that lined
the street from the Great
Northern depot to the city hall
last evening joined in an enthus-

RED LAKE RESERVATION
UNDER new MANAGEMENT
Reported That Beltrami Indians Will
No Longer Be Governed From
Leech Lake Agency.

The affairs of the Indians on
the Red Lake reservation are to
be placed in new hands, accord
ing to a dispatch from Washing
ton, which says:
1t is understood to be the pur-
pose of Indian Com missioner
Leupp to separate the Red Lake
reservation in Minnesota from
the Leech Lake agency. The
affairs of the Indians at Red Lake
will be placed in the hands of a
school superintendent. This
step was suggested to Com
missioner Leupp some months
ago, but before taking any action
he decided to have special agent
make an Investigation and re-.
port. An inquiry has been made
and the facts placed before the
commissioner are said to be such
as to justify him in recommend
ing to the secretary of the in
terror that Red Lake be detached
from the Leech Lake agency.
The present sub-agent at Red
Lake is r. E. L. Danials. J. r.
Collard is the official physician,
and S. 0. Norman is superin-
tendent of the Indian school.
The last named would probably
be selected as the bonded school
superintendent in charge of the
Indians.
