those New Cross Walks.

There is considerable discus
sion in Meridian in regard to the
grade established for the cement
cross walks. The town board
thought it advisable in view Of
the fact that these walks were to
be permanent that a surveyor be
first hired to make survey and
mark permanent grade as Il guide
for all the street work. This was
done and the walks put in accord
ingly. This will be all right for
any paving or other work that is
done in the future but for present
needs it is not satisfactory. At
the Times corner is about the
only place in town where the side
walk comes near being on level
with the cement crossing. In
front of the post office there is
foot of difference, the cross walk
being that much lower than the
sidewalk. As the sidewalk in this
case is of cement it can not be
lowered, and the only way to do is
to pound up and destroy one or
the other and constructs new sec
ton. 1t is understood that the
expense in making a sidewall con-
form to the newly built crossing
will in each case be borne by the.
property owner.

Probably one Of the most DANGEROUS

zine, Is the candern, or canern, a fish
three to eight inches long, and guilty
OF the extraordinary habit of diving
suddenly into the human anatomy by
the most convenient channels. .@
There are two distinct species, one
eel-llke In appearance, blunt-headed
and smooth-bodied, the other armed
with sharp, bony snout, two to three
inches in length, swallow-taile and
covered from snout to tail by small
barbs. It is particularly attracted by
the human body, into which it dives
suddenly and with great force, pro-
duc1ng a shock somewhat akin to q
powerful electric discharge.
In the case Of both types a serious
surgical operation is involved; but in
the case of the Benz variety the more

with a lump Of raw meat, into which

proboscis being probably it's usual
means of securing blood.

CAUSE. Of the GRIPPE
How to Escape Its Dangerous Afte1
- 49,. Effects.


With so much grippe prevalent this
winter a few words of advice regard
ing it's cause and treatment will not
be out:of place.
Grippe is an infectious disease
easily taken when the system is in a
tired or rundown condition. -
The best means of prevention are
to keep the blood in good healthy
condition, and if the system gets into
a weak, rundown condition, take vi
mol, our delicious cod liver and iron
tonic
A lady from Long Branch, N. j.,
says: "Grippe left me in a nervous,
weakened, rundown condition. After
taking three bottles of Vinol l am
better and stronger than have been
for years, and I cheerfully recon-
mend Vinol to all who have suffered
from the grippe and need strength"
(Name furnished on request.) I'D
We have never sold in our store
such valuable strength creator and
health restorer for the convalescent,
teh weak and rundown as Vinol, and
your money will be returned if it
does not do all we claim for it. Park

Let The State Aid.

The various state organizations in
terested in the anti-tuberculosis cru
.sade in Minnesota have agreed upon
a program of legislation to be pre-
sented to the coming legislature.
1t is agreed that the time has ar
rived for constructive work in this
campaign. By means of lectures,
literature, etc., the people of Minne-
sofa have been aroused to see the
enormous losses entailed every year
in this state by a preventable disease.
The figures which have just been
given out for 1911 show that there
were 2,456 deaths from tuberculosis
in Minnesota; there were twenty
four deaths in Beltrami county. A
large proportion of these persons died
while in the active period of life at
time when they could least be spared.
Judged both from the humanitarian
and economic point of view.
But the fact which is arousing
people to action is that the death rate
from tuberculosis is not declining in
this state From year to year we
have practically the same number of
deaths, which means that before
person dies he gives the disease on
the average, to one other person who
dies in a few years.
The best information on the ques-
tion now is that in order to check tu-
berculosis there must be esta blished
sanatoria near the homes of the
patients where they may be given the
best possible chance to recover, but,
more important from the point of
view Of the state, where they will
not spread the disease to others.
In 1909 the legislature passed a
law authorizing counties to build
county sanatoria for consumptives
and under this law a number of coun-
ties could unite to build a district in
stitution. Only two counties have
taken advantage of this law thus far,
st. Louis and Ottertail; four other
counties: Marshall, Hasca, Lake, and
Wabasha have set aside some money
for sanatoria but have not felt justi-
fed in building with the funds avail
able for the purpose So it is now
proposed to amend the law in such a
way as to provide state-aid for coun-
ties or groups of counties establish
ing these institutions. Under such a
system it is confidently hoped that
sanatoria will become much more
numerous
The. State Tuberculosis association
is attempting to create sentiment in
favor of this program among prospec-
tive legislators and other citizens all
over the state. The plan is being we'll
received. People are generally agreed
that tuberculosis has gone on I'M
checked too long already.
