They had this to say:
Business during the past year
has been very satisfactory. Not
withstanding the cry of hard
times and panic, we did more
than $4,000 more business in
1903 than we did in 1907. During
the year we made extensive i'm
proyements in our stores in Lum-
berton, enlarging them so that
we have now more than 10000
feet of floor space. Also during
the past year we established a
store at Barnesville which is do

tuberculosis in Honolulu Children
: = .sss = = sss.s@ss&.sss.ss sssssss.s
BY Lucy Jean Moses.

The mortality in Honolulu of chill
dren from tuberculosis gives but a
scant idea Of the number infected with
the disease in some form. Ny atten-
ton daily, as I visit the homes of
patients, is drawn tot the large number
of children, from two to fifteen years
of age, suffering from the maladv.
Enlarged eervieal glands are com
mon, many neglected until surrounding
tissues are involved and the gland
breaks down. This stage is difficult to
heal or operate on, while bone and
pulmonary tuberculosis claims a share
of victims among the children.
This is due partly to transmission
of tendency to the disease. but more
especially, leading physicians claim, to
close contact of the child to sources
of infection in crowded and I'M
hvgienic tenement houses. Through
lack of fresh air in sleeping rooms. ne
glect and poor nourishment, many chill
dren are untitled to take I'D school
work and fall ready victims to disease.
Children are peculiarly susceptible to
bad surroundings. One of the most
important factors in the spread of tu-
bereuiosis to the children is the pres
enee of the consumptive parent in the
home, who errs, through ignorance or
Indifference to the necessity of care
fitness, in disposal of approximations.
Hence the value of modern edueative
methods taught by the visiting nurse.
The necessity of day camp is more
apparent every day. Many lives could
be saved if we could provide good |
and fresh air daily in |
early stages of the disease. Parents !

on the bright side of things" is the
specially of the members of the OPP
timists' Club. who will hold their
first annual dinner in this city to-
night. The smile makers" as the
optimists call themselves, have a
long roll of distinguished members.
many of whom will attend the DIM
ner. Their honorary president is An
drew Carnegie and the Star Span
gled Scotchman" will preside at the
dinner.
Speaking Of the club and its pur-
poses Mr. Carnegie said;
"The optimist is needed these days.
Never was there so much cause
for exultation. Instead of moaning
over our imperfections we should
take glance backward and rejoice
that man was created with an IN
stinct of turning his face toward the
sun and absorbing its spiritualizing
light, always ascending. never ret
rogading: no limit to his ascent short
of perfection. All is well since all
grows better"

Road Work

Elsewhere in this paper appears
the first notice of a new era. And
as proper coincident it comes from
Alpha, th5Ai.st township organ
lied in the county. The progressive
farmers of Alpha have purchased a
splendid new road grader. and are
adye rtising for bids to construct
their roads by contract. They are
to be congratulated upon this Wis
dom. The suggestion may be re-
peated to select main roadways and
complete them first. working up the
side roads afterwards.
If every township would do this,
and join on the main roads of neigh.
boring townships, the county would
in few years have roads to haul
any kinds of loads at any time of
wear. This would be of inestimable
value to every person who uses
roads. The greatest traffic of the
world is on the country roads.
The local papers have often urged
the business men of Miller to organ
ize and assist in this very commend
able and necessary enterprise and
we are still hoping that something
will be done this year.

Fire MarShal'S Instructions

Ones ability to eXtinguish start
ing fire or to escape if caught in a
burning building depends upon in
telligence and seIf-control.
If the blaze is just starting. throw
water on the material that is burn
ing not AT the blaze. One bucket of
water will do more good thrown on
by handfulls. or with broom, than
dashed on at once.
A small fire may be smothered
with rug or blanket, or beaten out
with a wet broom.
But do not leave door open
waen you run out to give an alarm.
If the doors and windows are closed,
when fire starts, one can always
get the firemen there in time to put
it out while it is in only one room.
The fire soon uses all the oxygen in
a closed room ond may die out if it
gets no fresh air,
If awakened in the night by the
smell of fire, don't dress. Wrap
yourself IN blanket or quilt from
the bed and get out the quickest way
you can. Shut the doors you pass
through. After calling help look in
and see where and what is the dan
ger. You can then tell if it is best
to try To carry out the household
goods. If the fire is on the first
floor, it is very dangerous to 90
above, because the heat and choking
smoke go up.
One can often get out through a
hall filled with smoke by going or
his hands and knees, when he would
fall choking if he ran. The smoke
is thickest at the ceiling. Holding
a wet towel. or anything made OF
flannel, or even a coat collar, ovel
the mouth, greatly lessons the dan
ger of injury to the lungs, or death
from the carbonic acid gas in thu
smoke.

Big Market Day

Philip Review-Philip's second
market day was a great success in
every way. The day was ideal, the
crowd was fine, and the auction sale
was immense. The merchants were
heavily patronized. handling busi-
ness that compares favorably with
any days business in the history Of
the town.
The auction sale was an unpreced-
enced success. A varied assortment
of goods. besides stock of all kinds,
was offered for sale; and the bidding
was rapid at all times. The approx
innate total of the stock was over
$1,000.
The people began coming the even.
ing before, and by noon the
streets were "surging sea of hu.
manity." A conservative estimate
of,the number of visitors in town
that day is thirteen hundred, prob.
ably the largest crowd ever in Philir

NAVIGATION ON
MISSOURI RIVER
Government Looking Into Inpor-
tance Of Commerce On
Big Muddy

Aberdeen, April 6.-At last the
government is going to do some
thing toward navigation on the
Missouri river. 1t isn't much, but
it is something and has sent a thrill
of 10y through the hearts of the
people of South Dakota who live
along the river.
About all this amounts to is that
the engineering corps is to make an
investigation of the territory to the
river and if the conditions warrant
further action, congress will be ap-
pealed to for an appropriation to
deepen the channel so that it will
be navigable for commerce.
Under recent act of congress pro.
vision is made for preliminary exam,
ination of the Missouri river from
Sioux City, Iowa, to Fort Benton,
Mont.

PENDING LAWS
BEFORE VOTERS
Referendum For Congressional
District, Anti-Treating, And
Anti Cigarette Measures,
Possibly For Game
Law

Aberdeen, April 6.-People of
South Dakota will have chance to
vote on several laws recently passed
by the last session of the legislature
under referendum proceedings.
At the present there are at least
three of these laws which will be
brought up in this manner to the
voters and there may be others.
These are the law creating two con-
gresaional dittricts, the anti-treat,
ing law and the anti. cigarette law,
There may be others, but these three
are certain to be in the list. Besides
these the county local option law
comes to the voters through the in
itaiative and will make at least four
laws TO be voted on besides the five
constitutional amendments.
The people west of the Missouri
river, as well as those in the north
ern part Of the state, are not salts
fed with the congressional division
proposition.
The new game law may also be
referenduned. A petition has al
ready beer started. with view to
securing the signatures of the neces,
sary five per cent of the voters to
cause the law to be submitted at
the next general election, which
comes in 1910.
The sportsmen who go afeld
merely for the pleasure of the sport,
incidental! to bag a sufficient guam
tity to replenish the family larder,
seem, as a rule, to be fairly salts
fed with the stringency of the law,
but great protest has gone forth
by hunters who make the sport a
business during the open season.

NEW GAME LAW
STARTS A FIGHT
Hardware Dealers and Gun Clubs
Lock Horns

The new game law to prohibit
shooting chickens for two years, TO
protect the game was created at the
request of gun clubs and sporting
men. At recent meeting of the
state hardware dealers in Watertown
it was decided to referend the law,
and thus put off it's operation for
two years.
This action is bringing out pro-
tests from the hunters and sporting
men over the state, and the game
associations are preparing to fight
the petition to referend the law.
The Watertown Opinion contains
this account of another meeting held
there after the hardware dealers had
taken action;
IF there was a pot hunter present
last evening the burning words of
General M. w. Sheafe must have
made his soul shrink. In an elo-
quent address in which the general
viewed the gradual disappearance
of the game as we'll as showing in
stances where efficient protection
has been the means of restoring the
game, the speaker classed the infer
nal game hog as fit companion for
norsethief and entitled to no more
consideration at the hands of the
people. Not an expert marksmen
himself, he said, yet he took his
keenest pleasure in getting out in
the field and watching the dogs
work, in getting a glimpse of the
ducks and geese going over, in COM
munion with nature, and in now and
then landing a perhaps one in
1000.
The remarks of General Sheafe
were vigorously endorsed by loud
applause.
The association will at once take
steps to fight the attempt originat-
ing here to referend the new law.
A committee of five will be named
by the president. whose work it will
be to get signers of the referendum
petition to either take their names
off or sign a demonstrating petition.
