There are thousands of cases where

Here is one.
A Wis. mother writes:

early age, and also at an early age be-
came a victim to headaches, and as /

we have used 1t ever since.
MY husband and little daughter

they have both been entirely free from

Pierre-According to port of
vital statistics filed with tina depart
ment for the ear 1909. there were in
this state for that year 12,400 children
born. Out of this list but "A are re-
ported as of illegitimate birth. In
such cases the average of the mothers
was about twenty years, and that Of
the fathers where such a record was
made being about p The death rec
ord for the year was Ash of this
list the greatest number from any one
cause was from pneumonia, which led
with $50 victims Most of the deaths
from this cause being in the winter
months. The deaths from tubercu-
lar affections were 295. of which 27S
were pulmonary. Forty-six suicides
were reported, poison being the. IA
vorite method used in cases of self
destruction. Eleven murders were re-
ported. The total death list was 166
greater than for the previous year.
There were 4.917 marriages recorded
in the state for the year, more than
500 more than for the previous year.
There were 400 divorces granted.
about 10 less than for the preceding
year. That was the first year under
the new divorce law, and it ppears
to have reduced the divorce industry
as only about half the usual number
came from other states. and a number
of the DEGREES so granted were in
suits begun under the old law. Final
citizenship papers were taken out by
1926 foreigners. Most of the appli-
cants were from northern Europe, but
Greece shows a larger number than
for former years. The birtS rate
shows an increase of about eight
thousand over the death rate for the
year, which is a good increase of new
population to help swell the fast
growing population.

Health is the most important
of all human assets. lit is better
than money in the bank: in fact
it may be considered a deposit in
the bank of human lie. 1t rep
resentS a capital that is capable
of being turned into resources of
any sort. although to be sure we
do not usually realize its value
until we are compelled to- do
without it for a short period.
To those who have felt the
pangs of sickness and the tor
lures of weakness it is needless
to dwell upon the value of health.
They know its value They APP
preciate it TO the fullest extent.
But to those who have not ex-
perienced severe physical suffer
ing let me emphasize the very
great value of superb vitality and
robust health
+ If one and all possessed a
Thorough knowledge of health
building, hospitals and sanitar-
iumS would soon be needless and
along with the closing of these
institutions would come the pass
ing of the jails, the insane asy-
lums. and last, but not least, the
disappearance of a great part of
| the misery which a large part OF
! the human race is compelled TO
endure because of their ignor
ance of their present environ
! mentS.
Let us build health Let us all
demand health, not only for our
selves, but for our progeny. The
science of hygenics i'm
proveme should be thorough

we TO bring children into the

birth, one might say. with weak

] formity of various kinds.

Florence Nightingale,

Florence Nightingale, known
all over the world for more than
a half century as the Angel of
the Crimea, was one of the
chosen daughters of God who
spend their years and their re-
sources in doing good to the
bodies and souls of the unfortu
nate and the suffering. She
might have lived in laborious use
In the Crimea, fifty-five years
ago, she was veritable angel of
mercy to the British soldier,
giving herself unreserved to the
work of bettering sanitary con-
ditions before the art of proper
sanitation had been discovered.
Tt is no wonder the old soldiers
were anxious to kiss the hem of
her garments; it is no wonder
the English people are anxious
that her remains shall rest in

A Bad Custom.

There is we'll defined idea in
the minds of thinking American
citizens that the office should
seek the man This idea is con
fined to the men of no particular
party, but is held by men of all
parties.
But right ideas and prevailing
customs are sometimes at var
lance, and it is so with the idea
under discussion. The custom
is for the man to seek the Office
and very strenuously, too.
This custom is not so bad in
it's relation to the minor offices,
where the incumbent is simply a
servant of the people, to do a
definite amount of labor and
where no particular honors are
bestowed.
But when it comes to the
offices that bear large honors it
is another thing, and there the
idea of the people ought to pre-
vail Let the office seek the
man.
A fiagfant disregard of this
idea came to our notice this
week in the form of circular,
containing over ten newspaper
columns of fine print booming
Joseph Folk, of Missouri, for the
Democratic nomination for the
presidency. The writer is not a
Democrat, but if he were, the
sight of those ten columns of
gush would cause HIM to work
for the nomination of some other
man. If "a man in the writer 5
party would do the same thing,
our opinion of him would be just
as bad as it is of Mr.. Folk.
Mr. Folk has performed some
distinguished services for his
state and country, no doubt; but
when he starts out to deliberate
[ ly chase down the presidency as
a gunner would a jackrabbit, he
lowers himself very much in our
| estimation We believe thinking
Democrats will take the same
view of the matter.
A few over-zealous friends of
Elk President Roosevelt are try
ing to do the same thing for him,
though there is as yet no evil
dence that Mr.. Roosevelt is a
party to the scheme. We hope
he will not be.
These is entirely too much OF
the self seeking spirit in all
parties, and if we mistake not,
the time is coming when the
office of president of the United
] States will be. given to the best
man by the people instead of
being captured after a prolonged
chase after it, sometimes ex
! tending over several years.
