STAMP OUT DISEASE

Now that individual drinking cups
have been installed in the Minot
schools, would it not be wise II all
CT US did our part in trying to
keep down disease? How can this
be done? In the first place the fre-
quent scrubbing of floors in our
offices and places Of business will
help good deaf. Most germs are
carried by dust and taken into the
system in the air that We breathe.
Other germs are carried by the dust
and find a lodging place on exposed
food, and on the candy that you see
exposed to the air. Take a common
piece of candy SO exposed for a
few hours, and place it under the
microscope and you will be surpris-
ed at the number AMI various kinds
OF germs that are lodged on it. The
candy may look perfectly pure and
healthful, but often it is not. Place
such candy under glass covers AMI
you will be doing cons: derabie in
Keeping down disease. And then. be
careful about splitting ON the side
walks and on the floor. Most germs
die hard, and often live for many
weeks. The spittal dries and the
germs are carried in the air and in
to our lungs. It is our duty to con-
tribute our share towards better
Standard of living. The old fashion
ed carpets that were taken up and
busted only couple of times a
year, are fast disappearing and are
replaced with rugs that can easily
be taken up and cleaned, at least
I once a month. The old plush cover,
ed furniture is not used as much as
I formerly being replaced with leathe,
upholstered furniture We are grad
ually coming to a more sanitary way
Of living, but even in this enlighten

College offers to you or to your boy.
at . very reasonable cost to you.
and at . large expense to the school
an easily-learnel practical dollar-and-
cents-making course in. steam sngi-

winter months. It IS only twelve
weeks In length. It does not pre-
tend, to teach the boyy al there ID

Professor Rose, the best expert Oh

TRls BOZ Will win

Il want 4 place to work for my
board to so to school," said strong
looking determined farmer boy Of
sixteen, to the editor !, Of the, Inde-,
pendent last Saturday. night. Can
you help me ind al2lace?" We drew
from the lad the story of his life
and his aspirations. and promised to-
DO what ve could for him. my
father is 4 farmer near Yelva, but
I don't like farm work. Ny father
owns a half section Of land, but
hasn't enough money to send me to
school. ! have completed the course
in the country schools, and want to
go higher. / am willing to do
any honest work but have been
turned down at every place that l
asked today" The lad then went on
to tell how that morning he had
walked eighteen miles from the farm
to Sawyer and taken the train to
Minot. He was neatly dressed, had
la frank open countenance, and we
believe that he will get an education
if given half a chance Such boys
generally make their mark in the
world. He said he was sorry that
his father did not have the ready
cash to pay for his board, but we.
tried to explain to him that this was
really favorable to him and he agreed
that maybe that<it was right, and.
that if he had plenty of money to
use as he liked, he might become a
trifle sporty" Keep your eye on
the boy who is determined to work
his way thru school He is not slow
to take advantage of his opportun-
tiles. he. studies with all the energy
there is. in him, and usually stands
close to the head of his class. This
brings us back to our old school
days. We remember farmer lad.
whose name was. Charles Barnes.
Charlie got a place to work for his
board, with hard handed deacon
by the name of James Woodburn.
Wooiburn lived at the edge Of
town, had five or six cows, and did
not believe in having his wood saw
ed with the new tangled wood slws.
The old common buck saw was SO
much better for his boys health.
Charlie MIXED the cows, sawed and
split the wood, and did great deal
of other work, and by burning the
midnight oil, was able to get his
lessons. Trpe, he used to get his
astronomy lessons in the morning,
before sun up, while milking COWS,
and he generally had San opportunity
to study the Consultations that the
others saw half a year later in the
heavens. Charlie graduated at ..the
heal of his class, attended the Uniyer-
sity of Wisconsin, working his way
thru that college and graduated with
high honors from the electrical engi-
.neering department. He is now hold
ing. a responsible position in the east
and is getting on in the world. Such
lads usually do. Give the lad who
lis trying to make his own way in the
world a chance. Make his life as
easy as possible. No matter how
poor a boy may be, it is possible
for him to got college education if
he has the. will power. 4
