A LARGE STEER

Billings, Mont, March 1.-THE big
gest range steer in the world, as
far as is known, has just been sold
by Charles O'DonneIl to Prichie &
Co., of Chicago, with a shipment of
other cattle. The animal tipped the
beam at $500 pounds, and the price
received was 8 cents per pound or
$500 for the monster bovine From
October 7th last, to March 7th, the
day it was weighed for market, this
steer gained 400 pounds on a ration
of alfalfa, sugar beet pulp and syrup.
Incidently, it may be said this is the
greatest price ever received for
range steer.

II every one took proper care of his
body, he would be strong enough TO
withstand the disease. The thing of
first Importance is to dress proper
ly. There is no sense in girls wear
ing thin, low-necked, waists with short
sleeves, TO school in the winter time
Dress warm enough and wear your
short sleeved dresses next summer
1t is just as bad to wear too much
clothing indoors as too little. Boys
should not wear sweaters in the
house, because they are too warm.
1t seems to be the fashion for boys
to wear heavy sweaters, so wear it
long enough to let everyone know
tEat you have one and then hang
It up in the closet.
A person should keep his skin per-
fe.:ly clean. Tax! d tath at lea t
once week VITA nara water, s1ap
and {, scrubbing 0rT!a After taking
: warm bath always rIn.s the Skin
WITH cold water to close the pores
of the skin and keep you from TAX
iug cold.
Never sleep in the same clothing
that you wear in the day time. Turn
your underwear wrong side out and
Earg it on the back of chair 10
lot throw it in a pile on the floor,
because the cleanest floor has dirt
on it. Sleep with your windows O.
| pen. Get up in the morning and dress
in a cold room. 1t will not take
you half as long and you will feel
good natured the rest of the day.
If you have decayed teeth, have
them attendd to right away. Always
clean your teeth after meals, and es-
recially before going to bed at night.
Germs collect in the cavities of the
teeth and multiply very rapidly.
A persons health depends much
upon his diet. Sweet foods, pickles,
and salads should be eaten sparing-
| ly. Eat wholesome foods such as
vegetables, meat, fruit, bread and
| butter and you will be better off. Al
apple eaten just before going to bed
is a good thing. Tea and coffee should
be avoided because they are harmful
| to the body. Drink milk and if that
! is not good enough for you, water is
good enough for anybody. Every per
son should drink eight glasses of
water each day, but do not drink
them all at the same time for it
might make you feel uncomfortable.
Another thing which is very harm
full to the body is cigarette smoking
A cigarette smoker cannot think as
quickly and clearly as man who does
not smoke. A great many men can
not fill responsible positions because
they are cigarette smokers.
Take plenty of exercise 1t
strengthens the body and helps to
prevent diseases from entering it.
There is only one time when a per
son should not exercise and that is
after dinner. A person. should rest
at least one-half hour after dinner
to give the food a chance to digest.
Get into the habit of exercising dali
