at no instant In any mans life, wax.
Ing or sleeping, Is he free from assaults
by swarming myrlads of tiny, but pow
erful, unseen enemies OF life-those sol
diers Of deaths dark legions,, the germs
or microbes of disease. If 1t were pos
sible to wear spectacles OF the magni-
flying power of high-priced microscopes,
we might see the very air we breathe
thick with the monstrous shapes Of I'M

dogs we fondle, the books we read
In short, always and everywhere, the
armies Of death surround us, and in
cessanty make war upon us. And not
only do they attack us from every pos
sible exterior vantage point, but they
carry by assault the citadel OF life
from within the lines OF our own de-
lenses. Germs thrive and multiply In
the mouth, in the nose, and especially
in the intestinal organs. Thus 1t can be
said that not only do we live In the

we are ever Ill, but that we are ever
well.--Success Magazine.

Minot Takes Game
With Lakota
Local Foot Ball Players in Goo Condition. Scor>
Was 43 to O--Boys Playing Well Tosether

The Lakota foot ball team was de-
feated by the Minot team on the local
gridiron last Saturday afternoon, by a
score of 43 to 0. The score, while not
showing up we'll for the visiting team,
is rather misleading for the game was
a really betty contested one, and was
won by the local team only after some
fast and brilliant playing. Coach
Dence lad his men in the best of con-
dition, and they worked we'll together.
While the team misses Chef Jacobson,
whose fast playing last year was a big
feature, the boys are playing more in
unison this year, and 1t is believed
that the team is actually stronger, on
the average. Gaskill, Perry, Nom and
Foote played some very fast ball, and
were we'll supported by the others.

Parker GoesX After
Big Game. e.

VIM. Parker leaves in about a week
for British Columbia, where he in
tends to spend several months in
quest of big game. He will be located
away north Of the central part of the
state of Washington, where caribou
black bear, elk, mountain lions and
other game are to be found in abund
ance. Mr.. Parker intends to build a
log cabin by the side of a beautiful
lake in the mountains, large enough
to accommodate his friends, and sew
eral from Minot are planning on go
ing there to hunt during the coming
winter. Mr.. Parker is an old time
hunter loves the sport, and will do
more or less of it from now on.
Speaking of the race horse business,
Mr.. Parker said: 81 nave owned my
last race horse. There's no money in
it, and to be successful, you've got
to associate with crooks and be one
yourself. i don't care if.you have
pick from a thousand boys, to ride
your horses, there's not one of them
but who can be bought to- throw a
race. I'm sick OF the whole works,
Its the big game for me from now
on and l believe that I can get my
share of it." John Marlenee, former
ly of Velva, is located near where
Mr.. Parker will build his cabin. The
winters are said to be mild, mad the
mountain sides lousy with big game.

SANTA ROSA IS
SWEPT BY FIRE
Flames Originating In Mills Spread
Rapidly, and Firemen with 1000

SANTA ROSA, Cal. July S1.-Fire
that broke out In the Santa Rosa WOOL
en- mills this afternoon destroyed $685.
600 worth of property before it was ex-
tinguished by the firmen, assisted by
fully 1000 volunteers.
While fighting the blaze Fire Chief
Frank Muther was overcome by the
heat, as were several of his men, but
all were revived.
The largest losses were suffered by
the wooden mills, which is estimated at
$3.50 900, and the Italia Unica hotel,
probably $4,000.
The fire is believed to have been
caused by sparks from the chimney of
the mills falling into an open venti-
Iator From the woolen mills the
flames quickly spread to the hotel.
This was forty structure and
II burned like tinder. The flremen met
with such little success up to this time
II was feared the flames might wipe out
the larger part of the city. By con-
centrating on the wooden residences
and cottages that lay directly in the
path of the blaze the flames finally
were brought under control
This was the most destructive blaze
the city has ever experienced, aside

age was done
Ambassador Thompson of Mexico
CITY and Vice Consul Pangburn at

the same story as that given In the
press dispatches.
Mr.. Thompson's message, undated,
saws the earthquake probably covered
all the country between Mexico CITY
and the Pacific. From Acapulco at
a. m. yesterday Vice Consul Pangburn
cabled to Washington that while no
Americans were injured, the consulate
was damaged.
Damage caused in this city by the
quake yesterday is greater than was at
first supposed. The cathedral was SO
badly damaged that it has been con-
demned. Many buildings are cracked.
The American school was rendered un-
safe.
some of the mains have been broken
and the water supply for the city Is
seriously curtailed.
FL, PASO, Tex, July 31.-A special
from Vera Cruz, Mex, says that a Sc
rious fire followed the recent earth
quake in the town OF Hidalgotitlan.
The water mains were broken by the
quake and the fire. breaking out in the
poorer quarter of the town, spread
rapidly. Only a change of wind saved
the entire town. A hundred and fifty
families are homeless.
The city of Acapulco, which was al
most destroyed Yesterday by an earth
quake and tidal wave, has been suf-
fering all summer from a terrible epi-
demic of fever and many deaths have
occurred. Lack Of sewerage system
was given as the cause of this con-
dition, which was so bad that it is re-
ported the municipal council declared
that many buildings were sinking into
the earth which had been saturated
with sewage from the cesspools.
