And he made purity picture as ne passed

And we knowed that summer nit us

Nebraska a Leader Among Leaders.

Nenraska q Leader Among Leaders.
The census bureau includes Ne.
braska, Kansas, Iowa. Minnesota,
Missouri, North Dakota and South
Dakota In what 1t terms the west
north central division Of states. II
shows this division to be supreme In
the production of all cereals in the
United States. For instance In 1909,
this group of states produced
a.0ss,s12,47s worth of grain,
while the whole country's output was
$2.6s5,53s,714. only little more
than double the production Of these
seven states. That makes this di.
vision the great producing section,
And II Is worth Nebraskan's while
to observe that In this group of seven
supreme states their state is one OF
the very leaders. Iowa, being much
older and more thoroughly settled,
comes first with $23o.2O5.315 in the
combined output OF grain, Kansas
second with $16s,1O9,449 and Ne
braska a close third with s15S,6ss,-
852. The average per cent of in
crease in all cereals in this group for
ten years was 99.1, while Nebraska's g
increase was 1919 per cent. 1t is
fair to assume that at the end of the
next decade Nebraska will stand alb
solutely at the head OF the column
In nearly all OF these cereals. II is
now In its period Of greatest develop
ment up to date with the splendid
impetus OF the last decade to help
its own. It's people have got over the

According to the order for the investi-

rates. practices and regulations relating
to transportation, but to ascertain
whether the coal Is mined or produced
by or under the authority of the common
carriers engaged in the transportation
thereof, or whether common carriers own
in whole or in part any mine or mines

transport" This is obviously aimed at a
possible violation OF the commodities

not likely to be allowed TO rest until
justice is done. If those in control are
wise. they win help to make 1t clear and
voluntarily desist from anything that

DON'TS FOR HOT WEATHER
BY r. w. Connell, Health Commissioner.
tBy Request.)
Don't worry about the heat

Don't worry about the heat.
| Don't think, talk or read about 1t. Your
mind has much to do in making you feel
| uncomfortable in hot weather. Don't
think you can have the same comforts
| in hot weather at hotels and boarding
houses and summer resorts. that you can
get in your own homes.
Don't over exert yourself during your
vacation. Forty-eight or fifty weeks out
, OF the year with no athletic or physical
exercise and two to four weeks OF siren.
uous hard work. with ovsr-taxing the
muscular and nervous system, will make
your vacation an injury instead Of .
benefit Change Of climate, moderate
exertion. with relaxation will renew your
vitality.
Don't drink water from surface wells
In the vicinity of dwellings and out
houses. Don't drink water on your out
ing trips out Of streams where there are
camping parties located further up the
stream Typhoid convaiescents often go
camping to regain their health and they
poison the water Just notice typhoid
deaths In mountain cities due to camping
parties of typhoid convalescents.
Don't eat uncooked food or vegetables
without thoroughly washing them, for
you do not know by whom they have
been handled.
Don't use milk lexcept for cookingl that
is over twenty-four hours old, although
apparently 1t seems sweet. Positively do
not give such milk to baby, for hunger
is far better for the baby than old milk
Don't feel secure IL some one has told
you typhoid fever is not contagious. 1t
is communicable from one person to
another. Every case Is caused by disease
germs which have come In some way
through water, milk, fingers, food or
flies, from the dejecta OF some previous
case.
Don't forget to avoid all excess In
eating or drinking.
Don't forget to help the suffragette
break UP the Meat trust by abstaining
yourself from all meat in hot weather. A
clean farinaceous and fruit diet will keep
you well.
Don't forget to rest II you feel tired,
for fifteen minutes before each meal
This may save you much suffering.
Don't leave any canned fruit. meat or
vegetables open in the can for even five
minutes. Empty into glass, porcelain or
granite dish. Vegetables, meat or fruit
left standing In the can after opening
may produce severe ptomaine poisoning.
Don't eat or drink rapidly. Remember
Ice water df you do drink ip is only
half an injurious when the first is slipped
and the balance drank slowly. Your
stomach 1t like hot bottle. II you cool
1t gradually, you can pour Ice water into
1t without breaking.
Don't fall to bathe every day. 1t will
not only add to your comfort, but It will
keep the glands Of the skin open, thus
aiding perspiration and the elimination
