PREVENTIVE MEDICINE
Inflammation Of Insects.

The waria season will soon be
her.. Tha various insects will
again resume activity. The di-
seaseS transmitted by insects will
then begin TO reappear. In this
part of the world these diseases
are malaria, borne by the mos
quito, and all of the diseases
transmitted thru the eXcreta
carried by the fly. These in
sects should in so far as possible
be prevcnred from free activity.
They should be exterminated.
Tho work done along this line i'm
the early springtime is most eff
fectiye. Eech community should

An Angry Tree.

In Idaho there exists a species
Of the acacia. tree that a writer
in Harper, Weekly says is en-
title to ne classed as one of
the Wonders Of plant life. The
tree attains a height of about
eight feet. When full grown, it
clos s its leaves together in coils
each day at sunset. When the
tree has thus settled itself for its
night S sleep, it will flutter VIC
lently if touched, and il you
shake the ranches it will emit a
nauS ating odor strong enough to
bring on a headache.
In Idaho it is called the angry
tree, and it is said that it was
discovered by some men who wer
making a camp for the night, and
placed one end of a canvas COW
Iering over one of its sensitive
bra lches, to use it as a support.
Immediately the tree began to
jerk its branches sharply. The
motion continued with increased
nervousness, until at last there
came a sickcning odor that drove
the tired men to IA more hospita-
BILE camping place.

KISS ANCIENT AS MANKIND
Oldest Of Customs and Just as Popu-
lar Now as II Was In the
Beginning,

The kiss is as old as mankind, says
a recent authority on prehistoric
times and ways. at is the most an
cient custom in the world and prob
ably has the distinction of being the
only one which is just as much in
fashion now as it was 10000 years
ago, in spite of all the crusades which
have been made against it at differ
ent times and in different places.
"There are those who claim it to
be merely a survival of cannibalism,
and say that with the savage man
that particular demonstration of af-
lection meant only a warning Of a
future festival. 81 like you well
enough to eat you, which | shall do
shortly was the rather uncomfort-
able meaning which went with his
kiss.
"Orientals, however, have in
dulged in the habit apparently from
the beginning of time, for their lit
erature and traditions as far back
as they can be traced are full Of it.
1t was current, too, among the an
cient Jews and has been sung by all
the poets, Solomon included. And
from all indications men who live
10000 years from now will probably
find it quite q much in vogue"

THOMAS IyERS DEAD.
Sudden Death OF A Kinsman OF
The Byrne Family.

I. J. Byrne received telegram
Thuraday morning, just after the Hal
ley train had left, telling of the very
serious illness of his brother-in-law
Thomas Ivers, farmer and stockman
living out from Bellevue. He could not
go, as the train was already out of
reach. An hour or so later, he re-
ceived another message, saying that
the patient was dead No word was
given as to the cause of death. There
had been illness in the Ivers family,
Mrs. Ivers having been quite i'll for
some time, and she had just recovered
enough to be around. Those of the
Byrne family who could do so, went up
to the funeral services, Friday. Mrs.
Ivers is the oldest of the Byrne daugh-
ters, and has lived up in the Big Wood
country for number of years.

MISS DENECKE CHOSEN.
VIII Teach Primary Department
In the Local Schools.

When the school board was unable to
choose teacher for the primary grade
in the Richfeld schools, after two
months of indecision, the matter was
given over to Professor Gorow to
choose a teacher, and the board agreed
to stand by him in whatever he did.
Mr.. Gorow has just settled the matter
by selecting Miss Helen Denecke of this
place, for the important position, and
she will be one of the teachers for the
ensuing year. Miss Denecke was in
the State University until last year,
when she accepted contract to teach
in the Taper school, north of town.
She made good record, one that at
tracted the attention of number of
the town school patrons, who got out
petition, literally signed, asking that
she be employed for tim Richfeld
schools. The board had intended to re-

L. G. Walker, weather obs yer
for the local weather station gives
the Recorder some very interesting
figures showing a comparison of the
past four spring seasons, giving the
months of April, May and June for
each of the years.
Doubtless some will say, and firm.
ly believe, that the spring just pas
sed has been the wettest ON record.
AS a matter of fact, it hasn't; it
has been next to the dryest for the
four years since the local bureau
was established. For the three
months in 1910 the total precipita-
tion was only OLA of an inch; for
1911 4.49 inches; for 1912, 3.33
inches; and for 1913, only 2.93
inches. The average temperature TO
April, 1910, was SIS degrees; for
1911, AZ degrees; for 1912, S4.63;
for 1913, 46.5. This shows that
April of this year was the warmest
of any OF the past four years, ex-
cept in 1910. The average tenn
perature for May, 1910, was 54.5
degrees; for 1911, 519; for 1912,
.513; for 1913, 54.S3 degrees;
which figures demonstrate that May
of this year was warmer than any
other May for four years, without
exception. The average tempera-
