HEADQUARTERS HERE
j. R MOOrehead Does Big Cor
respondence for National
Federation of Retail
Merchants.

J. r. Moorehead. secretary of
the National Federation of Re-
tail Merchants, is now conduct
ing all Of his correspondence
from his office in Lexington, so
that he will no longer be requir-
ed to take many long and incon-
yenient trips. This will mean
a substantial increase of the post
office receipts and will do a great
deal in advertising Lexington.
The office employs two stenog-
raphers and sends out a contin-
uous stream of mail,
The federation is organized to
counteract the work of the mail
order houses and thereby to
keep money at home. Although
it is young it has already done
some effective work in getting
the parcels post bill in its pres
ent form. The bill as originally
proposed would have been Of in
estimable value to the mail or
der establishments. The mail
order house as it now stands
bids fair to develop into the
biggest trust in the country
and the National Federation of
Retail Merchants is doing a
great service in its endeavor to
check the growth of what will if
unchecked become a monopoly.
I Mr.. Moorehead is relying main
ly upon education for results.
When the people of small
community understand that it
is to their interests to trade at
home they win do 50. He will
fight all legislation, too, which
discriminates against the small
dealer.
The federation is growing
rapidly and is already q power
in the country. Its success IS
due largely to the ability and
zeal of Mr.. Moorehead.

lOrs.

beauty of Lexington Saturday
night for the last time. He has
accepted a position with the
Wilson-Fredendall D. G.. Co.,

the right man in the right
place.

CONSERVATION OF

men;s which result from the removal
Of tonsils and adenoids, the correc-
ton of poor eye sight, the cure of de-
fectiye hearing or the treatent Of NAL.
nutrition and anemia. They are all
too apparent.
The third and last duty that the
state owes to the public in the conser-
walton Of health is the supervision of
infectious diseases and general san.
itary conditions which necessarily
must rest on the shoulders of the re
spective boards of health. 1t Is for
them to locate the PURGE of epidem.
les of scarlet fever, d%iphtheria. ty.
,phoid fever, smallpox, ETC., and to
look after the water supply, sewage
disposal, slaughter houses, clean dar.
les, markets, butcher shops, restau.
rant, jails, railroad trains, stations
an dschools.. There boards must be
composed of men or women who are
up t othe standard in the line of san.
itation and able to keep abreast, of the
rapid strides Of scientific discovery.
Compulsory notification Of contagious
diseases is an absolute essential to
the proper and efficient workings Of
the health authorities. The public
has a horror of the red or green or
white placards which are posted on
the respective houses during Quaran-
tine and rather than submit to this
imposition, as it were, they keep Sc
cret the fact that their child has q
sore throat, thereby endangering the
entire community. This is an inhu-
man practice and should be punished
by a heavy fine or even imprisonment.
Just a few more words in regard to
conservation of public health and hu.
man life by means Of serums and
anti.toxins. To preventive medicine
belongs without doubt the place Of
honor in the battle against disease.
A review of the work along that line
reads more like a fairy tale than q
recital Of scientific facts. Small pox,
which once was responsible for 10
per cent OF all deaths, today has none
to its credit. Rabies, before Pasteur's
time, meant sure death to the person
infected-t0day 1t means sure cure II
one avails himself of the opportunity
in time. Diphtheria, that most dread.
ed of all ~infantile diseases, Is today
shorn of its terrors. Tetanus or lock
Jaw, formerly the cause Of q most hor'
rible death, is today considered harm.

Escape from being

Hon. l.. A. Simpson Is in our city
today, having business of a legal ma
ture before the supreme court. Mr..
Simpson says he has considerable
grain to be cut yet, having begun last
Thursday, but on account of the rain
had to postpone same. He also states
that his sister, Miss Cora, who was
thrown out Of his automobile the 9TH
er day is getting along nicely, but that
she certainly had a narrow escape.
She was thrown with great force
down a deep embankment, and when
picked up was unconscious, they fear
ing she was badly hurt. While the
breaking of her arm was a misfortune,
they all felt relieved for it looked as
though Miss Simpson had met death
for a time.

MISSIONARY GAVE !,
Interesting talk
Churches where he Spoke
Yesterday had Good
Sized Audiences

Rev. Joseph u. Doolittle, Of the
North Dakota division Of the Ameri-
can Sunday School Union, was in Bis.
marck yesterday and preached In the
morning at the Baptist church where
he delivered an able address. In the
evening he preached at the McCabe
Mthodist church. Notwithstanding the
.nclement weather there was q good
sized audience out last night and the
subject treated upon was 1.-THE Seek.
ing Of Happiness" in which the
speaker conveyed ideas in very excel
lent language that there is in the
life OF every man a desire for hap
piness, a longing which man endeav.
ors to satisfy in every possible man.
ner. The innate nature Of man is one
of doubt, and a desire for proof. He
must know for himself, or e some
definite and satisfying proof In the
life Of others where real happiness
is to be found. The quality of out
ward show is responsible for much
of the misery and disappointment In
this quest for happiness. Seeing the
show of apparent happiness In the
lives OF those are seeking In vain,
man is led by curiosity and falserim m
pressiOns to follow in their track,
since his common nature leads him
with the crowd. But instead Of hap.
piness in following the crowd he finds
he Is merely passing the time. Genu'
ne happiness is to be found only In
absolute unselfi shness, and this con-
dition OF un%selfishness is to be attain.
ed only through an absolute surrenl-
er to Gods will, and an acceptance OF
Jesus Christ, His Son.
Mr.. Doolittle spoke from actual ex-
perience and was convincing in his
argument. "

CASE OF DERAUCA
near Devils Lake
Nan Arrested on White Slave
Charge IS Dismissed
by Justice

DEVILS LAKE, Sept. led al.
den, the man who was arrested at
Lawton and brought here to answer
to a sort Of white slave charge it be.
ing claimed that he had lived off the
earnings of Miss Ella La May and
Mrs. Edna Anderson, was dismissed,
there being little evidence to show
that the girls had given the man any
money; except to pay their proportion
ate share Of the expenses Of the prai-
RE schooner which Alden was moving
across the. country In quest of occupa-
tion with some threshing crew.
The case did bring to light however
that the two girls in question were
none other than prostitutes having
been engaged in that business for the
Iast four years, one girl Ella LaMay
having started on he downward path
when she was fourteen years old, the
other young lady Mrs. Anderson stat
Ing that she had been down fallen for
two years and that her husband resid-
ed at Bismarck.
Alden picked up the young women
who were employed in a hotel at Man.
dan and told them that he would en-.
gage them as cooks on a %'threshing
crew which he hoped to be in charge
OF. The three people hit the train
from Mandan by the wagon route and
later picked up Alden's son They
landed in Starkweather where the
women engaged In prostitution. but
Alden proved that he had not solicited
for them and at no time ever ques-
toned them as to their earnings. The
difficulty arose at Starkweather when
Alden asked the girls for money to
buy provisions for the camp. He
claimed to have contracted at Mandan
at the rate of IS a day for transfer.
ring them across country and that he
had not been paid. The girls refused
and came to this city where they
were detained, believed to be victims
of the white slave traffic. They then
brought the. charge against Alden,
who Is is a gray haired man over so
years Of age.
1t developed today that Alden had
been ~wrOngfully accused and while
he might have been held on the charge
Of living with prostitutes, he was not
guilty Of the crime of living of their
earnings. His case was dismissed by
Judge Juergens, the girls who have
been under bonds here to furnish evi.
dence were set free and Devils Lake
was released of one Of the vilest de-,
bauch cases that has come to notice
here for some time. In
