FOR YOUR HEALTH'S SAKE
PLAYING At HYGIENE.

Did Il ever occur to you that
when you see children playing In
the open air and romplng In the
sunshine they are playing n.y.
qIene, which means health?
II only we older people would
throw dignity aside and play the
game more than we do we would
be much better of than we are.
To be sure, the game need not
be 40 violent 40 "bIack man."
tag" or "three cornered cat"
but long walks In the open air;
tending a small garden or cultl-
waiting flowers instead Of tin cans
and rubbish In the back yard,
would be pretty certain to pro-
ducs good results In many ways.

Little Falls has sustained great
loss in the untimely passing of Arthur
p. Blanchard. Retiring. not prone to
thrust himself forward, he was never
theless valuable citizen, broad
minded. DESTROYS of all that made for
the best In the civic life of this COM
munity. The public, which observed
his success in his profession, and
justly attributed 1t to intellect and
industry, was not aware that Mr..
Blanchard was one of the most COM
panlonable of men. that he had q
mind deeply stored with the gold he
had dug from the richest mines of
literature, that he had traversed
widely the domains of thought and ex-
perience, that he had retentive
memory to a phenomenal degree, and
that thus equipped, for those who
knew him well and enjoyed MS
friendship, conversation was a delight
and is now cherished memory. And
yet how true it is that we SO little
know even the nearest of our friends.
We know ourselves SO little. we are
so clrcumscrlbed by convention and
tradition that we scarcely dare to
anallZe ourselves. A. p. Blanchard
would have laughed heartily of any
one had told him he was of heroic
mould. And yet. to suffer the pangs
of q mortal and painful ILLNESS, to
know that IN few weeks, q few days,
just at time when life's fairest
horizons were opening before him.
he must say goodbye forever to those
beloved, to the friends, to the pro.
fession he loved, and IN the very
prime of life to leave ito know all
this, and yet to face the world with q
smile, to put his affairs IN order that
those left behind might better realize
the fruits OF his toll and industry, to
walk constantly in the very shadow. Of
the valley OF death, and advance daily
nearer q fixed end-to go unfalterlngly
and accomplishing unto the end; this
was tortitude Of 9 spartan character,
and is Ito own best commentary.

SHOULD KILL FLIES
DANGEROUS FOES.

SdOOAJJ AlLA rAlEi0 AS
DANGEROUS FOES.
The common housetly IS not only a
disagreeable pest In the summer
months, but it may become a
dangerous enemy, says Health Com
missioner q. A. REM IN the st. Cloud
Dispatch. Therefore people are
advised to carry war of extermlna-
tion against the fly.
1T has been established that the
fly IS q medium for spreading a
number of diseases, among which may
be named typhoid fever, said DR..
REM today land there is class of
diseases that the fly may carry, but
for which blame has not been
definitely attached to it. Giving the
fly all the best of the argument, there
IS no doubt that for the sake of health,
it should be exterminated.
'rhe chief danger from the fly Is
its habit Of alighting upon decayed
material and then, without washing
its feet, next allghting upon food
stuffs, there leaving It's tracks in the
shape OF disease breeding germs.
When one stops to think about it, food
that has been walked over by flies
becomes hardly palata BILE and, when
the danger of disease is taken into con.
sideration, the insect is nothing less
than real enemy.
mo, there is no better method Of
getting rid Of the fly than the old.
fashioned way-put the screens ur
early and keep them up late IN the
season. Kill all the, flies that get in
to the house and keep the surrounding
premises as clean as possible, so thai
the pests may not be attracted from
other places In the neighborhood.
Keep the flies away from the house,
and by so doing the danger of sick
ness will be lessened and the temper
of the family will be much I'M
proved. -

The Provincialism of Self.

The narrowest provincialism is that

as inevitably as the natural bear and
the wild cat stick there. To seek to

that forbids all naturalness forever

a good time. Rock lake is described

lake is about twice the size of our
Fish lake, near Pierz, and is located
in very picturesque country, about
five or six miles this side Of Mile Lac
lake, and 80 miles from P1erz, by
road, but would be much nearer if our
sports were not compelled to go around
too many lakes before getting there.
A beautiful scene is presented to the
visitor when driving over a high hill,
and when on the summit one can see
a fine landscape with five large lakes
in view. Our sports had a little
misfortune on the hill. They lost a
wheel of the part on which the steam
ship was hauled. It ran down the
hill at frlghtful speed. The damage,
however, was repaired in a short time
and our sports continued they journey.
Another misfortune happened while at
the lake, which might have ended
seriously. We were requested not to
give 1t away, but cannot resist the
temptation. One of the sports went
fishing in the boat and when he re-
turned to the pier near camp he saw
a log laying side of the pier. He
rowed the boat beside the log,
jumped onto 1t. when the log suddenly
moved away and dropped him into the
lake. It was fish of enormous size,
that must be hundreds of years DID,, as
there was moss on his back.
