Get Married and Live Long,
Says an Austrian Physician

VIENNA, May 13-(Special to The Bee)
Marriage is an invaluable aid in the
struggle against old age, says Dr. Borand,
author of a book that has set all Europe TO

one of the best means of resisting the ap-

positively certain that unhappy marriages
are the surest means OF Fastening its on

In his book, lately published in the Hun

most every modern tongue, Dr. Lorand
says that from recent reports OF the reg

in assuming that, though life is usually
limited to 50 or 60 years, 1t may occasion

eventually be able to prolong the lives Of
many individuals beyond so or even 20
years and to strengthen our term OF youth
fulness by ten or twenty years. We need
no longer grow old at 40 or 50 years.
In order to live long Dr. Lorand says
we should eat less meat and drink plenty
OF milk. BE as much as possible In the
open air, and especially in the sunshine,
and take plenty Of exercise, taking care TO
breathe deeply and regularly. Sleep in a
very dark room with a window open, and
do not sleep less than six or more than
seven and, one-half hours. Have one com
plete days rest each week. without even
reading or writing. Be temperate In the
use of alcohol, and also In the use of tea
or coffee. Avoid places that are over

RACE FOR SOUTH POLE ON
Scandinavians Think Amundsen Has
Good Start.

Friends of Absent Explorer Say He

BY ERIC GRUNDMARK.

COPENHAGEN, May 14-(Special to The
Bee 1.-The race to the South pole is being
followed with the keenest interest through
news that Captain Amundsen has gained
so large a lead is generally regarded with
satisfaction, although Prof Otto Nordens-
kield, the well known Swedish explorer,
critcses severely the secrecy which Cap
tain Amundsen maintained concerning his
South pole project. 1t would be very re-
grettable, SAYS Prof. Nordenskield, II Cap
tain Scott arriving at the South pole,
found that Captain Amundsen had reached
II a week before him, taking the British
route, and making use of the previous
British discoveries. Under such circum-
stances 1t would be no great honor for
Amundsen to be first at the pole. Nor
wegian newspapers have published a letter
addressed to Captain Amundsen to the
chairman Of the committee of the Fran
expedition. In this letter Captain Amunde
sen apologies for not having previously
communicated his change Of plans to the
committee. and admits that one of the
reason which dictated his silence was the
apprehension that the committee might
endeavor to dissuade him from his project.
There are very few who take Nordens-
kioid's view Of the matter. There is mo
indication that Amundsen intends to follow
the English route and It has long been re-
garded as proper in polar explorers to have
free use OF the discovery OF their predeces-
sors.
Since the Cook fiasco Danish scientists
are inclined to go slow and IL Amundsen
should return with claim to the discovery
OF the South pole the fact that he is a
Scandinavian will not prevent his proofs
being subjected to the most rigid scru-
| tiny.

The flag of Denmark, a plain red banner
bearing on it white cross, is the Oldest

both Norway and Sweden were united with
Denmark under this flag. In the year 1919
King Waldemar OF Denmark when leading
his troops to battle against the Livonians,
saw or thought he saw a bright light in
the form of cross in the sky. He held
this appearance TO be a promise OF divine

this time he had the cross placed on the
flag Of his country and called it the Danen.

TO NAME FAIR OFFICERS
Error in Choosing Men for Beltrami
Agricultural Association to Be Cor
rected at Saturday Meeting.
TO ALSO DISCUSS NEW GROUNDS

| At the recent meeting of the Bel
trami Agricultural association when
officers were elected for the ensuing

It has been discovered that the

tary A. P. Ritchie this morning, "I
have issued call for a meeting to be
held Saturday at 1 p. m. in the Com
mercial club rooms and I wish the
Pioneer would make it plain that it
is important that all members of the
association and all friends Of the fair

The constitution also provides
that there shall be vice-presidents
Ielected for each commissioners dis
trict and one vice-president at large.
These will be named at the Saturday
meeting.
Also the question of making a
purchase of new grounds for the fair

sion at the Saturday meeting and
definite action may be taken on this
important point at that time.
The men named improperly re-
Gently as officers for. the ensuing year

With the close of 1911, new rec
ord has been established for the Be-
midji fire department in the small
number Q fires and4in the expense to
the city, which is one-ha1f Of what
it was the preceding year. :.
During the year there were but %
fires, an average of less than two a
month, and the total approximate
cost to the city of the fire depart
ment was $495, in comparison to
that of $1,1S5, for 1910.
The department last evening elect
ed the following officers for the en-
suing year:
Chief-Earl Cell.
Assistant Chief. J. Doran.
Secretary-Scott Stuart.
Treasurer-Jshn Goodman.
Relief association officers were
elected as follows:
President-Herbert Doran.
Vice-president- Charles Daley.
Secretary-John Falls.
Treasurer Goodman.
The fire officers account for the
smaller number of fires, to an ex-
tent, to the agitation against persons
believed to be guilty of arson. Dur
ing the year no property of unusual
value was destroyed, the most seri-
Gus fire of the year being on July 4
when two homes were consumed in
Nymore, the Bemidji firemen aiding
