Malaria is carried by the anopheles
MOSQUITOES. They carry no disease

blood. No other kind of mosquito

Unfortunately for the harmless kind
they and the anopheles multiply IN
the same places, visit the same
houses, sing the same songs and

is no separating them, so all must be

Good health is closely allied to
standing or sitting straight. To sit
in a bad posture tends to interfere
with respiration, digestion and cir
culation. A person should never sit
longer than an hour at time. Once
in awhile he should stand up and
take a two-minute exercise to in
crease circulation and respiration.

SLAUGHTER IS IMMENSE.
More Big Game Arriving in Bemidii
Than Ever Before-No Moose Yet
49, Shipped Here.
OUTSIDERS GET MANY DEER

With four more days of the big
game season, Thomas Lloyd of the
Great Northern express office re-
ports the largest number of deer ever
shipped into Bemidji, have
been received during the last
two weeks Official reports to-
day show that 1S1 deer and
no moose have been shipped into Be-
midi. The shipments are increas-
ing daily and the law allows hunters
five days after the season closes for
shipping game. While the record
of number of deer shipped last year
is not available Manager Lloyd says
that the shipping this year is a large
per cent over that of last season.
Hunters returning from the woods
say that large numbers of deer and
moose that have been shot are still
in the woods awaiting cooler wealth
er for handling and shipment. Much
of the game has been shot in places
where transportation is next to i'm
possible until the lakes freeze over.
The cooler weather of the last
several days has made shipping con-
ditions much better. While no
moose have been shipped into the
Bemidji express office several have
passed through the city. A large
number of deer have also been
brought into Bemidji which have not
been handled by express. Mr.. Lloyd
said that it would be impossible to
say how many deer have been ship
ped through Bemidji but that the
total would probably pass the two
hundred mark. Many of the deer
which have been killed have been
secured by non-residents Of the state
persons being from Illinois, Iowa and
Indiana.

How the Votes Went
Heavy Opposition


The wards in which the vote was
heaviest in opposition to the char
ter were the third and fourth.
: Another fact which makes the de-
feat of the proposed charter all the
more great is that it not
only failed to receive a majority of
the votes, but would have had to have
four-sevenths Of the total vote cast
in favor of it to become in force.
Why It Was Defeated
Several of the chief points used
against the charter as it was put up
to the voters We're the following; gen
eraI objection to the clause referring
to the duties of mayor; the clause
regarding franchises; not making 1t
necessary that the proceedings of the
council be published; the fact that
the voters had nothing to say con-
corning which commissioners would
have charge of the department of
public affairs, finance or public safe
ty, and that the commissioners would
have the authority of placing them
selves on whatever committees so
desired.

sponsible.

said to some friends not long ago.

Thanksgiving. The trees were
bare. The fields We're russell

those russell fields strutted very
plump, very large, very young
turkey ,-. -e-.
Then it was that an ardent
belief in the doctrine of metemp-
sychOSis seized me.

grafton will be into the body of
