DOM LET Chill.
DREN EAT SNOW

Children should be taught that
SNOW is unciean and, therefore, dam
gerous to eat, according to a Rhine
lander doctor who talked at some len
9Th to q News man this morning. The
pretty white substance is certainly
tempting, and the child ON its way to
school catches from a fence post a
handful and eats it. Or some other.
enterprising yClbngster mixes a glass
of "snow ice cream" and enjoys the
pleasure of a soda fountain without
the aid of a nickel.
A bit later the child is taken with
diptheria, tonsilitis or some other di-
sease although it has not been. ap-
parently, exposed in any way to con-
tagion.
Remember that the snow not only
keeps down dust, but also brings it
down from the air, where it has
been floating during any period Q of
fair weather. Notice after a snow
storm the exquisite purity of the air
and CONGO clearness of landscape
near and far.
Choose the whitest snow and let
it melt, closely covered, If you exam
inc this dirty snow water and observe
the sand, cinders, hair and so on
you will not eat even the most at
tract've snow. The microscopic dust
plants which surely accompany them,
are the real sources Of trouble

mo GROUNDS
FOR DAM SUIT
Bir0n structures Owners Have
Right to Raise it.

MADISON, Wis, Dec. 5.-The rail
road commission and Gov. McGoUeu
evidently overlooked a bet when they
developed their plan to bring suit a.
| gainst the owners of the Biron dam a.
cross the Wisconsin river, near Ste
VEINS Point, from raising the dam to
thirteen feet Atty. Gen. Bancroft
today, in letter to the governor de
clined to bring the action as directed
for the reason that the law Of 1893
gives to the corporation specific right
to build the dam to the height propol
ed
Some days ago Gov. McGoveru, up
on the advice of the railroad com
mission, directed the attorney gener-
al to bring action against the owners
to restrain them from raising the dam
citing the original charter authorizing
George s. Biron and Laura Biron,
their heirs and assigns, to build a
dam at the designated point to q
height of eight feet.
1t appears now, however, that the
Legislature OF 1893 passed an act en-
powering the same parties 10 build
a dam at the same point to height
of thirteen feet. This, according to
Atty. Gen. Bancroft, is what is now
being done.
Governor McGoVern was a little
previous in his active desire TO give
the owners of the Bron dam trouble
in connection with the raising and
Strengthening of the Bnon dam. The
people Of this city are not afraid Of
being flooded by these improvements
at BrOn.

We'll, the Pathe reel gave you quite a surprise yesterday. didn't it.! There was one feature in the same that caus- ed a gasp Of astonishment, and that was where the automobile turned turtle" and killed a man standing by the track. It was not thought best to feature this. and when this thrill appeared it took all completely by surprise.
 At the New Central theater today there is picture of this nature, which is not entirely dramatic, entitled "The Hindoo's Charm, and will give enough thrills to the average man and woman to satisfy them for some time to come.
 Pathe has not sent in anything from the western company for some time. and today. therefore, makes amends for their absence from the New Cen tral's program by q sensational and thrilling story of the wild and wooily west, The Arrowmaker's Daughter ? that has enough wild romance to please the most ardent swain.
