 Appendicitis follows faulty circula- tion, imperfect elimination, impaction. Then comes congestion, inflammation and condition is ripe where the sur geon's knife is a necessity in order to save the life of the patient.

FRESH AIR IS FREE By Ebert Hubbard.

An eminent physician and surgeon If Minnesota-a man of worldwide fame-has recently said: "More Wo- men patients, three to one, are sent to hospitals than men. This comes, in large degree, from the fact that women live indoors and breathe a dust-laden, secondhand atmosphere which depletes their vitality"
 All life is a fight between opposing forces of life and the force of dissolu- ton.
 Happily, there are millions of germs in every human body that are fighting for health, and when these health germs are in the ascendant we are we'll.
 But whenever the malevolent germs, or germs of disease. outnumber the germs of health, We decline, grow weary, tired, get sick and die.
 The thing is to preserve resiliency and resiliency is resisting power.
 Dr.. Weir Mitchell, one of the most eminent physicians in the world, once said: What we call diseases are only symptoms of conditions. Allow the mans vitality to be reduced to a certain point and he is ripe for any of these weaknesses which we call disease"

Disease is an endeavor on the part of the malevolent germs to force the man into bankruptcy.
 They have appointed themselves re- ceivers and are foreclosing on the claim
 Man is an air breathing animal. He begins to breathe the moment he is born; and when he ceases to breathe for four minutes he is dead; the spirit takes its flight and the body returns to the elements from which 1t was form ed.
 The integrity of the body is main tanned only so long as the blood is exygenated through the breath. The ar We eXhale is laden with carbonic- acld gas-a virulent poison.
 All things in the world have three forms; these are gaseous, liquid and Solld' Everything is moving from one Ol these forms into another.
 For instance, the sputum is liquid Dred In the open air it becomes a Solld' Then, pulverized, it is taken up oy the air and circulates in minute dust particles, some of which are too small to be seen.

We eat our peck of dirt, all right, and then go on and eat another; but we cannot breathe peck of dirt with out stopping up lurg-cells; and then follows a condition where the blood is imperfectly oxygenated. The germs of tuberculosis jump the claim, and the toxins that these "tubercs" pro- duce poison the well-springs of life, and we get what the people out west call Hunger"
 It is only within recent times that we have recognized the necessity of fresh air, and the moral is: Use it.

PRIMARY IN MAY.
Senator LambertsOn Would Take
Election Away From Summer.

A bill to hold the state primary
election in the third week of May in
each general election year instead Of
in August when farmers are busy
with harvest and other important
farm work, has been presented to the
senate by Senator w. p. Lambertson
of Brown county. as part of a substi-
tute for a bill calling for a presiden-
tial preference election by Davis OF
Bourbon. The Lambertson bill calls
for the holding of a preference cleo
ton on presidential and vice presiden-
tia1 candidates at the same time with
the statewide primaries.
1t is Lambertson's first bill at the
present session of the legislature.
Where other senators have been I'M
loading legislation on the calendar by
the dozen bills, LambertsOn has sat
back and raised parliamentary rum
puses over their discussion. He came
in with his proposal to move the state
primary election out of a busy sum-
mer season back into the days of late
spring only when it began to look as
though the senate would give serious
consideration to a proposal to hold
special election for delegates to ma
tional conventions and to give the vOt-
erS a chance to express themselves
upon the national candidates under
discussion.
Both bills were referred to the COM
mittee on elections with instructions
to consolidate their provisions in
single measure.

In its fight to defeat the passage of
