Three Measures to Referendum.

Pierre.-June l closed the 60 days
period following the end of the session
of the legislature during which refer
endum petitions could be filed for laws
passed during the session. Thus far
three petitions have been filed, the
electric headlight bill, the herd law
and the county seat law.
The electric headlight bill appar-
emily has the most opposition Of these
three unpopular measures, the petit
ton having over $4,000 names at
tached.
The immigration bill, which passed
with difficulty Immediately prior to
the close of the session, has been the
topic OF much discussion, but the ex-
pected petition has not been filed.

Seeks an Inquiry.

Washington.-In a communication
received by Representative Burke. T.
C. Burns, register of the land office at
Gregory, S. d., asks that an investiga-
ton be made Of the charges Of George
Silsbee, the Minnesota soldier, who in
a letter recently forwarded to Repre-
sentative Davis made statements re-
flecting on the administration OF Reg
lister Burns and Land Commissioner
bennett. Silsbee charged in substance
that he had been defrauded out of a
claim on Trip county land in South
Dakota.
Register Burns comes back with a
charge that Silsbee was used as a
cats paw" by land vultures. and he
asks that the case be placed in the
hands of an inspector with instructions
to make a thorough investigation.
Representative Burke has called the
matter to the attention Of Commits
sioner bennett, and an inquiry will
doubtless be made as demanded by the
Gregory register.

Dakota Buying Autos.

Pierre.-The automobile business
for this state shows an increase for
May, with 424 new machines regis
tered, bringing the total to date 9,627.
At the rate Of registration of e ma
chimes, the total is likely TO get up in
five figures before the first of July,
as 1t will take fewer registrations for
June than those for May to get to that
point. In past years the June regis
trations generally have been the
heaviest of any month of the year.

means to regain, to get back what

Kiater Health.

- PS' 'ooh Nhb ilS, - AIN never
SO well in tie winter as | am in the
summer . is very likely to use the
tone of one who states a natural law,
which must be accepted without
question or struggle. The fact of
poor health IN winter is un-
fortunately common with many per
sons; the question is, Need it be1
No doubt more common sense and
more self-control is needed TO com
mand health through the winter
months. The reasons are obvious.
In the summer the most inveterate
house dweller is driven into the open
air; the hungriest meat-eater calls
for fruit and salads: the stuffiest
sleeper throws open the bedroom
windows, The conditions forced on
all OF US are, with Inc exception Of
extreme humid heat, the conditions
tina; mean health. The result is
that many persons who are generally
below the level of their best health
are at the highest point of
physical efficiency in September and
October, after their few months of
enforced healthful living. From
that time on, with the closing OF
doors and windows, and the resump-
lion of heavy meals, they slip down
hin again.
They have no especial theory
about the summer regime; it. is
only that they do what nature forces
them 10 do. Their theories as to
the winter regime, on. the other
hand, are both many and strange.
An extreme terror of drafts and
damp feet is offset by a caIlous
indifference TO study sleeping rooms
and reeking public places. Many
people pass the entire winter in air
unfit to breathe, if the short periods
of time during which they are un-
willingly outdoors in going from one
building TO another are excepted.
Each cold is promptly laid to the
account of these brief journeys
meyer to bad indoor air, over
eating and lack Of proper exercise.
Having wet feet Is very easily
avoided by persons who do not wish
10 have them. At the same time,
wet feet cannot create grippe unless
the grippe germ is there to work
with; and perfectly well persons are
germ proof persons. That Is the
goal of all hygenic struggle-to be
germ proof
Is 10 drafts, they are the most
wholesome of things for those
who have educated their bodies to
them; and since they are unavoidable
in a world like this, the sooner a
man edGcates himself TO them, the
better, allhou that does not mean
that he should hunt for drafts TO SIT
in. When person feels shrinking
from a draft, it is because at that
particular moment he is not in a
condition to stand it, and nature is
giving him hint to move on.
