has done bis best work, that he Is
growing old and must soon give place
to younger men. Every man makes
his own dead line. Some reach 1t al
thirty five, some at forty, some at
fifty some never reach it because
they do not cease to grow. The
larger part of the great fortunes OF
this country have been accumulated
after their amassers have passed
forty. In fact, the first forty years
of mans life are preparatory years,
the years of training and discipline.
A large part of this time he is laying
the foundation-just getting ready to
rear the superstructure. Many OF
Us stumble around many years be-
fore we get in the right place and
then for additional years, We make
many mistakes. Most men do not
get wise until they have passed
forty. They may get knowledge
before this but not much wisdom.
Wisdom IS ripening process. 1t

To do wrong. or, what is the same
thing, to refrain from doing right,
when the time for action arrives, be-
cause we are afraid of what the peo-
pie may say or think, is the worst
form of slavery. To break such
bonds, We need a deeper consecra-
ton to truth and duty. We may
admit all the arguments against
such bondage, and yet fail to escape
from it, but If we are faithful and
loyal to the good and the right
in our inmost heart we love and hon.
or them above all things, we shall
find continually growing within Us
that moral courage which wins for
for US our best freedom

The future of Lewiston as viewed by
some outsiders doesnot compare with
the way some of her citizens would
like to view it. Lewiston is located
in a hole-in-thc-earth about TOO feet
above sea level. All streams from
the surrounding high lands fow to-
ward the town, conveying refuse
and filth from the higher and more
wholesome climate, and only one
narrow sort of box canyon takes all
this drainage onward to the sea- The
main street is subject to floods, and,
Judging from the past, people had to
use row boats to reach their places of
business. AS a commercial center
the writer has never even had a
dream to compare With the seemingly
deluded views as set forth by some
Levistonites. There is no outlet to
the north unless railroads devise
some system whereby they can run

According to reports s. D. White,
of Lewiston, is one of the men who
is trying to prejudice people in the
county against Nezperce as a place
for temporary county seat, in an ef-
fort to kill county division II is
said he is one of the men who sent
out the remonstrances against divis-
ion, and, judging by reports, he is
the man who has dane the dirty work
in years gone by for prominent
Lewiston capitalist. He is the man
who people talk about as a tax-title
shark. He is the man connected
with the Lewiston Collection Agency,
a business usually operated whereby
the poor people have to surrender
the necessities of life to the richer
class The consideration of such
is usually high collection commits
sion. We have often heard it said
by people doing business With such
concerns that it would be better to
donate the entire bill than to pay the
collection charges. A person who
engages in such a low business in
order to be financially successful
must necessarily be of an ungodlike
disposition-in depressing the poor
and in taking advantage of the ig-
norance of people who are unaware
that their property may be incum-
bered in any way. A man who viii
take undue advantage of his fellow
man is a dangerous individual for
community and detriment to the
country in which he resides, and
when we discover a man of such
type we brand him as cancer on
the face Of industry, an all round
crook and fugitive from justice.

TIME EXTENDED.
Entry Men Have Until
May Is.

Following the resolution passed last
week by the senate, at the instance OF
Senator Hansbrough, granting three
months leave Of absence to settlers in
the northwest on account of railroad
blockades and inclement weather, the
senator on the 2Ist ult introduced the
following resolution, which extends the
time in which homesteaders shall estab-
lish residence, from six months to the
18th of May next:
Resolved, That all persons who made
homestead entry in the states of North
Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota, Ida.
no, Montana and Wyoming, where the
six months period in which they were OF
are required by law to establish resi-.
dence expired or expires after Decem.
Der I, 1906, are hereby granted until May
IS, 1907, within which to make actual
Settlement and establish residence updr
the lands SO entered by them.
This resolution passed the senate on
the 21st ult. and the house on the 2stf
ult. The provisions of the resolution
also apply to soldiers declaratory state
ments.
This resolution will be of greater bene
fit to claimants than the one giving three
months leave of absence. 1t will be-:
great hardship-in some cases an abso
lutte impossibility-for settlers to go upor
their land at this time to establish resi-
dence. Many would have abandoned
their land or have been subject to con
test but for this resolution, which allow!
them until next May to establish resi-
dence.

they need more fresh air than a we'll
person. Even cold air is not harmful.
If the individual has pneumonia or con.
sumption, and part of the lung is out of
commission, the part which is we'll must,
necessarily, work enough harder to make
up for the part to which the air does not
enter. Most people now understand
that consumption Can be cured by fresh
air alone; but to do this even we'll ven
tilated room is not sufficient. They must
practically breathe out of doors all the
time. 1t is possible to treat such cases
in this state. One plan for doing this is
to arrange sort of hood or awning on
the inside of the window, into which a
gate is constructed. This hood fits
closely over the head of the patient as
he sleeps at night or rests in the day
time. While the patient is sleeping in
the house, he is breathing out-of-doors
air as he lies with his head within the
hood which is abundantly supplied with
fresh air through the gate in the window.
There is usually a window of mica fitted
into this hood through which the patient
can see into or be seen from the room.
The summary report of vital statistics
for the months of November and Decem-
Der, 1906, shows 3 births and $ deaths for
Billings county; 81 births and II deaths
for Morton, and 81 births and 16 deaths
for Stark county. During the same time
throughout the state, there we're 60 cases
of diphtheria, with 13 deaths; 81 typhoid
fever, with II deaths; AZ whooping cough
with deaths, and "a cases of scarlet
fever, with no deaths.

Fresh Air.

The state board of health has prepared
short articles pertaining to public health
and general sanitation and extracts Of
such articles will appear in state papers
each month.
At this season of the year, the question
of fresh air and good ventilation is an
extremely important one, especially in a
cold climate like North Dakota, for the
reason that when the thermometer reg
listers very low, it is hard to heat build
ing. The great majority of people do
not get enough fresh air during the win
ter months. Therefore, colds, pneu-
monia, la grippe, bronchitis and consump-
ton are very prevalent.
Crowded rooms should be avoided un-
less an abundance of fresh air is sup.
piled. Under this head comes many
churches, theatres and other rooms for
public meetings. If one has breathed
highly polluted atmosphere in room of
this sort, he is quite likely to catch so.
called "cold" when he leaves the build
ing. In most instances, these colds are,
in reality, due to dust which is contain
mated by disease germs, and the same is
true of many ether diseases, such as
la grippe, pneumonia, tuberculosis, etc.
The sleeping room should be not only
we'll ventilated, but rather cool. Fire
places are excellent ventilators. On the
other hand, the ordinary stove has very
little value, and the ordinary kerosene
heater is an abomination and should not
be tolerated. Above all things, they
should never be used in the sick room

times used for heating, with bad effects
upon the atmosphere. Gasoline stoves
should not be used in the winter time
unless provided with vent in connec
ton with the chimney for carrying Of
products of combustion.
If a proper amount of fresh air was
furnished we should be just as robust as
and more free from disease in NORTH
Dakota than in any other state in thu
Union, for the reason that we do no
have sudden changes Of temperature
and atmospherical conditions. Many
people believe that when one has any
lung trouble they must be protected from
