r. O. Dunbar dropped in from

F. O. Dunbar dropped in from
Camden, Wash, last Saturday to
look after business matters and visit
a few days with old friends and neigh
bors. He reached the home OF his
sister, Mrs. O. II. Morse, north of De
Smet, the day before, where his sister
from Iowa was also visiting. His
daughter, Miss Sadie, who is teach
ing up in Spirit Lake township, came
down with him and spent Saturday
WITH friends. Mr.. Dunbar was here
much of the time until Wednes-
day evening, when he started for
North Dakota to look after his int +
ests in some land before returning
home. He reported the family we'll
and enjoying life in the new home
about the same as when living in this
locality. Lake Preston Times.
The new school law compels a
full years attendance at school by
children of school age, but contains
a provision which allows the board of
education in the district to reduce it
to any length of time not less han
four mouths out of the year. The
law also provides for the appointment
of a truant officer. The board of edu,
cation in this Independent District
No, A. took action in this matter at a
recent meeting and placed the length
of compulsory attendance at five
months out in each school year. The
board also appointed Attorney E. S.
Johnson as truant officer. We are
not informed as to all the provisions
of the law, but we understand that
parents keeping their children from
school in violation of the law can be
taken before the county Judge and
fined. The second and third offense
by the same party can be made quite
interesting. The principal of our
city schools, Prof. A. B. Rich. is keep
ing a complete record of attendance
and also compares this record with
the school census The fact is that
our school authorities mean business.
Prof. Rich intends to keep the truant
officer fully informed, and the truant
officer will perform his duty, as all
know who have any acquaintance with
Attorney Johnson. IF there are any
violations of this law in Independent
District No. 4, you can just put it
down that there will either be a new
face in school, or a new ten dollar bill
in the treasury.

opsonic Theory Will Explain Why
You Are Sick or Immune.

OpSOnlC iEeoTy VIII Explain why
You Are sick or Immune.
Immunity from illness, according to
the opsonc theory, the latest discov.
cry in medicine, was the subject of
DR.. C~leaveland Floyd's public lecture
at the Harvard Medical school re-
Gently.
"The reason why n person will
come down with Sickness" said DR..
Floyd. willie others living practi-
cally in the same environment remain
immune, according to the opsonic the
DRY Is that the amount Of serum and
white corpuscles in that persons blood
is below normal.
"The body is being continually at
tackled in every portion by disease.
producing germs and organisms.
Whenever any portion is infected ma
ture provides that an increased
amount of blood Is SEM to that spot.
This is easily seer in the redness
that surrounds a boil or other form
of infection.
Mature rarely does anything with
out a purpose, and the reason why
more blood is sent to the point of at
tack is that more white corpuscles
and more serum may reach the spot.
The white ~corpuscles and serum are
the means which nature uses to drive
out infection.
"The serum. which is the sticky,
clear, ~yellowish fluid often seen
around a scab reduces the vitality Of
the germ or organism, and the white
~corpuscles gorge Semselyes with the
germs, digesting and destroying them.
ut is this feeling of the white cor
pvscles upon the germs of bacteria
that gives the name to the theory.
The Latin word opsono means pre-.
pare food for, and the adjective OPP
sonic conveys that idea of feeding on
which the theory Is based.
"The usual practice In treating dis
ease. according to the opsonic theory,
Is to increase the amount of white cor
puscles and serum in the blood, which
Is done by incubation with antitoxins
and vaccines.
This form of treatment has proved
very effective in skin diseases, diph-
liberia, typhoid and tuberculosis. 1t
also has produced speedy results In
driving pus from the abdomen after
operations for appendicitis and In
healing running wounds and sores"

RIFLE SHOOTING.
Develops the Arms. Lungs and CheBt
and Trains the Eye.


1t is not only the muscles of the arm
which are tested by properly organ
lied rifle shooting. 1t supplies an ex-
cellent exercise for the chest and
lungs. One of the first things the young
rifle shot has to learn Is how to take a
deep breath. to fill the lungs with air,
and then to hold the breath while the
rifle is kept absolutely steady and the
finger is gradually tightening on the
trigger. A glance Mt any successful
rifle shot will slow you man with 4
deep chest and full powers Of breath
Ing
Any\form of recreation which trains
the muscles of the arm and exercises
the chest and lungs would seem likely
10 be beneficial to health, but IL that
is not enough there Is the unequaled
training which rifle shooting gives to
the eye and TO the hand working with
the eye. The writer remembers hear
ing musketry instructor boast that
lie had heightened not only his own
sight but the sight OF scores OF boys
whom he had taught how to use their
eyes In aiming at target, by two or
three hundred yards, simply by con
tinued practice at long distance shpot-
Ing. It is astonishing what results cal,
be obtained in this way by placing q
rifle on n sand bag raised on a\tripod
and making the pupil aim rs accurate
ly as he can at any distant object. The
eye/can be trained. Of course, equally
well, though the sight will not neces-
lfirily be heightened, by aiming at OBJ
jects close at hand.-London Spectator.

The regulation of artificial lighting
In connection with window displays Is
a subject which has been given com.
paratlvcly little attention by the mu-

the extent to which It Is used for this
purpose in these days. That this
phase of the lighting question demands
closer scrutiny there can be no doubt.

on the matter 10 look to those cities
which have given ii study. Stringent
regulations have been adopted In Ber

merchants were inclined to take adj

Berlin lamps outside shop windows
