GEsTAMoUNT FROM NELsoNco

The Lincoln statue commission that
Is arranging to present a statue Of

kota that Is holding a meeting at
Governor Hanna's today, which is pre-
pairing for the North Dakota exhibit
at the Norwegian Centennial exposi-
ton at Christiana neXt summer, which
the governor M his staff are now
planning to attend.
Much money has been collected for
the erection of the North Dakota Lin
colin statue to be presented to Norway.
To each county was allotted the sum
of 500 to be raised for this purpose.
Today Governor Hanna was handed
a check for 5000 as the contribution of
Nelson county for the Lincoln statue.
In charge of the Nelson county fun
was former Sen. John G.. Gunderson,
former mayor of Aneta. To Senator
Gunderson's credit is the fact that he
doubled Nelson county's allotment
which the governor stated this morn
ing was by far the largest amount
that had yet been received from any
county in the state.
Nelson county is the banner coun-
ty Of the state in the Lincoln statue
fund" said Governor Hanna this
morning. THE commission allotted
800 to each county and Nelson coun-
ty responded with $500. To Senator
Gunderson Of Aneta belongs the en-
tire credit for this. Mr.. Gunderson
has done a great deal Of hard work
and Is to be congratulated upon the
good showing he mas made in his

worse than useless.
Resinol is not an experiment. 1t is

eighteen years. No other treatment

cuItivats Good Taste In Girls.

So many mothers select clothes for
the young schoolgirl without consider.
ing IL IN the least necessary TO consult
her taste in the matter. This seems a
mistake from many points OF view.
TO begin with. the child has TO wear
the clothes, and she should therefore
have something to say in their choice.
Again, many children are very sensi-
tive about their clothes and have a
horror of being peculiar or different
from 1.-THE other girls" This grownups
very seldom realize. and the suffering
that would be artistic. badly shaped
or odd garment occasions its young
wearer is often very deep indeed. Also
it is never too early TO begin training
n child's taste in clothes, for no wo-
man can afford 10 be badly dressed
nowadays, whatever her position or
calling.
While simplicity should be the key.
note Of children's dress. 1t should be
combined with good taste and an eye
for effect. The color and design should
suit the small wearer and as much al
/ lowance made in the choice for an
olive complexioned brunette or fair
blond as the grownups. An inordi-
nate love of clothes should not. OF
course. be encouraged. but every girl
should take a natural interest in pref
ty clothes and experience a pleasure
in wearing them. This uncultivated
taste for clothes In their early youth
makes the badly coifed. sloppy young
women whom we see so often and who
lose so per cent OF their natural at
traction by their careless, clumsy
dressing.

Points

Mothers
Preeaution Against Measles.

Measles has often been jokingly
classed, as far az prevalence and dan +
ger are concerned. with love attacks, 4
and many mothers shrug their shout
ders when the disease visits their
homes. remarking. 1T has to come. so
let it come" But it doesn't. Many
mothers deliberately expose their chill
dren to it to get ii over with" 1t IS
no more necessary that the so called
"children's diseases should be than
that adults should have typhoid fever.
a seemingly mild attack of measles
may have serious results. Indeed. the
sooner we recognize measles as an in
sidious disease with dire consequences
if care be not taken the better for our
children.
Measles is very contagious disease.
Children should be isolated and must
never be allowed TO associate with
others until thoroughly cured. The
contagion may be present in any OF
the secretions of the afflicted one. II
may be carried in the clothes of a
third person. Care must be taken to
isolate the patient and to guard against
carrying the disease.
Measles appears from seven TO four
teen days after exposure to the germs.
1t Is heralded by a feverish cold. run
ming" of the nose. watery eyes and
! sensitiveness to the light. general
lassitude and loss OF appetite are pres.
ent. The fever gradually rises 70 lO2
f. and may so higher while the erup-
ton is coming.
About the fourth day a breaking out
on the body appears. It usually comes
on the forehead first This resembles
little pimples. When there are hemor.
rhages OF these into the skin the dis
ease is known as black measles"
At the end of the first week q peel.
ing OF the skin takes place. 1t is fine
and is accompanied by itching that is
almost maddenlng. TO allay this the
body OF the patient should be rubbed
with oil or fresh lard once day. This
prevents the scattering OF the tiny
scales OF the skin.
The eyes are generally sensitive and
should be protected from light by dark
glasses or by a darkened room. so
luton of boric acid Is n good cleanser
TO be used every day.
The rash should be brought out. %
delayed. by hot drinks and hot baths
II it suddenly disappears the doctor
should be Immediately notified.
During this disease the patient ma
have a dry cough. This can be re
lieved If a kettle OF boiling water bt
; kept steaming in the room.
Milk, nourishing broths, eggs, fruit
) juices and Cruel should be the chic
diet The child ought to be kept fl

child,s Toilet Article.

Do not let children become lax In
toilet niceties. Cleaning the teeth.
manicuring. proper care OF the hair
and complexion should all be insisted
upon from earliest childhood until
such matters are inculcated as habits
and are practiced involuntarily.
A point which falls upon the mother
to attend to. unless she has a compe-
tent nurse. is the question of towels,
face cloths and toothbrushes for the
individual members of her family.
As soon as a child needs toilet arti-
cles-that is. from the day of its birth
lit should have a separate supply. A
scarcity of towels and face cloths is In
excusable. but many mothers are
thoughtless in the matters OF towels
and face cloths. 1t is a good idea TO
have initia' 4 towels for each child.
