PRACTICAL HEALTH HINT.
Mouth Breathing.

Mouth breathing is a serious
matter, as it is responsible for
many physical ills and germ dis
eases. A sufferer from this evil
should be examined by a phys1-
clan. Adenoids consist of lynn
phoid tissue forming a third ton
sill and are situated behind the
soft palate in what is called the
naso-pharynx. 1t is a perfectly
normal structure until it becomes
overgrown or infected. Adenoids
more or less completely close the
passage between the nose and
throat and in this way produce
the condition known as mouth
breathing"

The Man Afraid.

the Seattle Post-Intellieencer
Tuesday with the following item
marked: -. Anderson, AxeI ia

of ranchers from Braddock, N.
Dak., are guests at the New
Richmond hotel"
On Tuesday morning of this
week w. B. Adams, living about
three and one-half miles north
east of Braddock, missed a large
amount of fine Marquis wheat
from his granary. He had sold
100 bushels of this wheat to
Smith Eneleman for seed, and
had given Mr.. Eneleman permis-
sion to let the seed wheat remain
in the eranary. AS soon as the
grain was missed Mr.. Adams no
tilted Mr.. Eneleman and search
was started. MIR. Eneleman
came into Braddock where he
visited the three elevators but no
such grain had been sold here.
On Wednesday he went to Kin
tyre and made the discovery that
one load of Marquis wheat, grad
ing No. |, had been marketed at
the Farmers Elevator at 8o'clock
Tuesday morning by a man Civ
ing his name as A. r. Miller.
The grain-buyer was a trifie sus-
picious of the man and did con-
questioning, and this
aided considerable on placing the
blame on Ray and George Pettis,
of this place. Smith Engleman

Wednesday evening Ray Pettis
was called over the phone and
notified that complaint had
been issued against him on the
charge of wheat stealing, and
about the next move made by the
officials here was to notify Sheriff
Price at Steele, to hold Pettis, as
he was on his way to Steele in
stead of Linton. Sheriff Price no
tilted the officials in Braddock
this morning that he had their
man and was holding him. The
deputy sheriff from Linton came
through Braddock this morning
enroute to Steele. VIM. Baxter
and DR.. Baer followed for the

Death of T. E. Shepard

Thomas E. Shepard, one of the
older residents of our county,
passed away at the St. Alexius
hospital in Bismarck, Monday
morning. He had been taken to
the hospital on Saturday and his
sudden death was a shock to his
many friends. Thomas E. Shep.
ard came to North Dakota with
his parents when but a small boy,
locating near Hillsboro. His
mother and step-father came to
Emmons county in the 8O's. T.
E. was the second of the three
brothers, Will, who died in 1912,
/. E., who died last February,
while the death of this brother
takes from this earth the family,
except the mother who now lives
at Lynn Haven, Florida. T. E.
Shepard was married to Miss
Katie Kalberer, an Emmons
county girl, and to this union
were born four children, who now
survive him.
Mr.. and Mrs. Shepard moved
from Braddock when the town of
Hazelton was first plated, in

Mrs. Bertha Bohlin, living near

There is no language at our
command by which we can fit
tingly portray the sincerity of
this mans character. He was a
man of general impulses and
never forgot the hospitable ways
of the pioneer. His sudden death
has brought the bitter cup of sor.
row to the lips of friends and rel
atives. He was a devoted hus-
band and a kind and induleent
father; to his sisters, ten
der brother, and to his friends,
the soul of fellowship. But he is
gone! Another name is stricken
from the roll of Emmons coun-
tvs pioneers.

al has not yet been announced.

Sudden Death of Axel Ja-
cohson.

On Sunday morning the sad
news reached our city announc-
ing the sudden death of MIR.
Axel Jacobson, which occurred
at Bend, Oregon. Two weeks
ago Mr.. Jacobson, in company
with John Anderson and w. D..
Gregory, left for points in Wash
ington and Oregon to look after
land interests there. Mr.. Jacob
son had been suffering with
asthma and thought possibly the
change of climate would be ben
eficial for him. On Sunday the
sad news reached here announc-
ing his sudden death, and on
Monday a letter was received
here from him, written on De-
cember I'd Thursday, stating
that they would leave Portland on
Friday for Bend.
The letter was written by him
and stated he was feeling fine,
and apparently enjoying good
health. The telegram received
here Sunday did not state the
hour or date of his death, but it
is thought death occurred on Sat
urday evening.
Axel Jacobson was born on
March q, 1855, in Sweden, in
the providence of Bohuslan, and
in the parish of Moo. In the
year of 1880 he came to this
country, locating in Chicago,
Illinois, where he remained for
one year. He then came to Bis
marck, this state, and the follow
ing three years was spent on
the railroads where he was en-
ployed. In 1884, Mr.. Jacobson
came to Emmons county and
filed on a homestead four miles
northeast of Braddock.
On August %, 1886, Mr.. Jacob
son was married to Miss Anna
Beckman, of Bismarck. To this
union were born six children:
Mary, Agnes, Carl, Ernest, Ed
ward and Helen. all of whom sur.
'vive him; also two brothers liv-
ing in Sweden, and one sister,

BRIDE, GROOM AND BIBLE.

Is the Bible read aloud in many
homes today4 Certainly it does
deserve to be, and the habit would
enrich any home on earth. A
beautiful little story is told by
Editor Curtis Lee Laws, d. D., i'll
a late issue of the Watchman-Ex-
aminer. He says that on June 3,
1914, he had the joy of uniting in
matrimony a Christian man and a
Christian woman whom he had
known and loved for several years.
On their wedding day the bride
and groom began to read the Bible
aloud to each other. During the
year (which closed June 3, 1915,
they completed the entire Bible.
In a little note to DIR. Laws they
said: 1T is not a difficult task
thus to read the Bible through in
a year. and we hope to\ continue
the custom as long as, we live"
We are sure that such a home viii
be a model, and we are sure also
that such an example is worth fol-
lowing in other homes.-Biblical
