Attorney Generals Opinions.

States Attorney General johnson has
filed with the State Insurance depart
ment an opinion to the effect that coun.
ty and township mutual insurance COM
panies must place themselves under the
supervision Of the State Insurance de-
partment, and make annual reports to
the department. The opinion is COM
pletely opposite to the general practice
in regard to such companies. Heretofore
they have been filing their reports with
either the county auditor of the county,
or the township clerk of the township in
which they are doing business and they
have in no way been under the super
vision of the state department.
There are thirty or more of these COM
panies operating in the State at the pres
ent time and all of them will have to
come with their reports the beginning
of this year.
Attorney General Johnson has also
filed an opinion with ]. E. Truran, State
Executive Accountant, in which he holds
that under the law, all counties which
have representatives at the State Tuber.
culosis hospital at Custer, must pay the
quarterly claims of the Sanatorium out oi
the general funds of the County. This
means payment without delay, and puts
the Sanatorium in position to know what
to expect and when to expect il.

SOMEBODY FORGOT"

Because man forgot his orders an
interurban trolley car crashed into an
other not far from Kansas City the other
morning and four people were killed.
Because some other men forgot, two or
three serious accidents happened on
steam railroads the same day. On the
tombstones in a thousand cemeteries
there might be cut the melancholy
words, Somebody Forgot"
As long as the human frailty must be
depended on to keep the machinery of
the worlds activities running, there
must be disasters, wrecks and despair.
The great railroad systems are seeking
earnestly for every possible automatic
device that will lessen human RESPONSE
bility. Vast sums have been spent and
other vast sums will continue to be
spent in improving mechanical condi.
tions. 1t is believed by many ignorant
or poorly informed people that the rail
roads are reluctant to spend money for
automatic safety devices. Precisely the
contrary is true. When it is remember
ed that single wreck in which lives are
lost and valuable equipment is destroyed
will cost the railroad hundreds of thous-
ands of dollars it can be seen what a heavy
financial risk is carried by the transpor-
tation companies. Because Somebody
Forgot" great train goes into ditch or
crashes into another train. The railroad
must not only bear the expense of new
equipment, but is held accountable for the
dead and injured and must make such
reparation as is possible. Added to this
is the loss in traffic that comes from the
advertisement of these wrecks.
Inventors in this and other countries
are competing for the rich prizes that
come from helping to make travel safe.
Railroad managers are ever on the look
out for safeguards. The block system of
signals that is now part of every well
conducted railroad, costs thousands of
dollars mile to equip and maintain.
But it has proven its value many times
over and has justified the expense. Bet
ter cars, heavier rails, more skilled en-
ployes, improved safety devices are fast
eliminating the chances Of wrecks and
less and less do we hear the sad COM
ment that Somebody Forgot" But as
long as the human equation must be con-
sidered there will be wrecks. Transpor-
tation managers can only hope that the
toll of human lives will continue TO be
reduced as times goes on.-Kansas City
(Mo.) Journal.

HOW TO PREVENT CONSUMPTION.

HOW TO PREVENT CONSUMPTION.
The spit and the small particles
coughed up and sneezed out by Con.

full of living germs too small to be seen.
These germs are the cause of Consump-

Don't spit on sidewalks--it spreads
disease and it is against the law.
Don't spit on the floors of your rooms
or Railways.
Don't spit on the floor of your shop.
When you spit, spit in handkerchief
or paper or into spittoon. Have your
own spittoons half, fall Of carbonatsd

a day with boiling water. Burn the

Don't work in rooms where there is

Don't sleep in rooms where there is

Sandwiches for the Lunch Pail.

For the benefit of school children who
carry lunches, we copy the following
recipes from the Sioux City Qa.) Farmer
and Breeder:
Winter sandwiches are much more
easily prepared for the lunch pail than
summer ones, because there is always
an abundance of meat on hand, and also
plenty of jams and nuts. With just
little forethought and preparation the
children may have variety of good
food all winter and enjoy it more than a
haphazard combination such as many
mothers think necessary for the noon
luncheon.
Meat and Nut Sandwiches-Chop cold
roast pork in chopping bowl or grind
in meat grinder. Along with the meat
grind. the nuts in the proportion of one
cup of meat and one-third cup of nuts.
Season with salt and add enough mayon-
naise dressing to hold the nuts and meat
together, If the children object to the
mayonnaise, and few of them do, use a
little sweet cream. This makes good
nourishing sandwich for cold weather,
but too heavy for spring days.
Jam Sandwiches-When baking bread
fill two pound coffee cans two-thirds full
dough and bake until done. This gives
nice round slices for these sandwiches.
Butter very thinly and then spread with
jam. Press the slices firmly together
and wrap in waxed paper. These may
be cut in halves or quarters and are
more easily handled.
Roast Beef Sandwiches-Cut the cold
roast beef very thin and put between
buttered slices of bread.
Ham and Egg Sandwiches-Chop OF
grind the cold boiled ham-the trim
mings from the ham bone may be used
and add one cold boiled egg to each
cup of meat. Chop the egg fine and
mix all we'll with little sweet cream.
Spread on thin slices of buttered bread
and press the edges we'll together. A
little tin candy box is very fine for car.
rying sandwiches, as they do not dry
out easily.
Meat and Pickle Sandwiches-Grind
cold roast or boiled beef or pork and tc
each cup of meat add one tablespoon o.
chopped pickle or cucumber pickle
chopped fine. Do not have it too wei
with the vinegar, but just moist enough
to hold together. Spread on butteret
bread.
Nut Sandwiches-Chop or grind the
nut kernels and sprinkle well with salt
Add enough melted butter or swee
cream to make them slightly moist ant
spread on bread and butter.
Cheese Sandwiches-Cu the cheese II
very thin slices and put on slices of but
tered bread. A sprinkling of grounC
meat or nuts may be added.

People who enjoy the blessings of a
climate that diffuses beautiful snow come
to take the white mantle of winter as a
matter of course, forgetful that there are
lands where snow never falls and that
countless multitudes have never set eyes
on the fieecy fakes. 1t is however, the
soil upon which the snow falls that pro-
duces the real foodstuffs of the world.
1t is the men and women who brave the
billiards and temper the heat of sum-
mer with the cold of winter who do
things that mark the progress ofciviiza-
tion. So the snow is not only thing
of beauty, although not a joy forever,
but one of the most useful manifestations
of Mother Nature. The snow-topped
hills, the snow-clad fields, and even the
snow-bound streets should be welcome
to all of us at their proper time.-Omaha
(Neb.) Bee.

We are upon the threshold of new
year. Another year with it's joys and
its sorrows is gone from US. AS the even
ing of life draws nearer, each passing
year seems the best of all ofthem. Life,
to most of US, has never seemed any
sweeter than it is now. With each years
experience, if we have used Alright our
opportunities, we see so many more
things TO do sfor the betterment of our
fellow men and for our own character
building, that our days must, perforce,
seem exceedingly pleasant to us. We
are living in time when, indeed, it is
joy simply to live. Each day is better
than the one that has gone before. Each
year that is to come ought to be better
than the one that has gone.-Modern
Brotherhood.

Increases in the orders for steel for
building construction and manufactur-
ing were even greater in November than
was expected and the tonnage ordered
is one of the relative indexes of business
revival that seems to be accepted as a
general index everywhere. Steel moves
only in increases when capital goes into
enlargement of business, new construc-
tion, and new manufacturing, so that
when steel moves, business in all lines
is naturally bound to follow.

FLAP-JACK DAYS.

How dear to my heart are the flap-jacks and
bacon
That mother constructed in days long ago.
And how / would eat till my food shop was
achin'
And swallow each jack till the flap didn't
show;
The coffee and rolls and the frtters that szzled,
The cat that sat meowing for scraps now
and then
Oh, you may have breakfast served up in three
courses
But give me the fapjacks and bacon again.
