HOW FRESH AIR CURES IJJD1GCC;J]iL O0Si9

A patient III a tuberculosis sala-
tor;uln writes to the State Depart
ment OF Health to ask, What IS the
effect of fresh air upon the germ OF
tuberculosis in the iungs?"
Reply.-There is probably no di-
rect effect OF fresh air upon the
tubercle bacillus in the lungs. Inc
fresh air affects the patient and
makes it easier for him to fight Of
the disease.
The healthy human body has ITS
fighting edge" which enables 1t to
hold it's own against the tubercle
bacillus if it is given chance.
Great numbers of people become IN
fenfad with tuhercle germs who 90
not develop actual disease because
the germs cannot gain any foothold

The size Of the child at birth de

bones depends on the amount OF

She would cook dinners for the sick, cheer
the poor, and bring flowers to the hospi-

Louise was touched. She decided to
secretly do kind things every day.
When her grandfather was caring for
the poor she would be too.
One day she took her money and bought
basket of food for certain poor family.
She knew of their sick baby and she was
going there to care for IT,
After she had been there a little while
some one knocked. The mother OF the
baby hurried to the door. thinking it was

II was the first of May. A merry crowd
of girls and boys had started for nearby
grove, where they we're to spend the day.
Each was provided with a lunch basket,
and the boys carried ropes for swings.
On the way Norma Clark, one of the
party. discovered a lamb wins l., the
roadside. 1t had been hurt and left
: TO die. Norma picked the lamb up and
asked. What shall we do with it?" The
others said, why we can't do anything
with it. Put it down and come along
But the kind little girl couldn't leave the
lamb to die so she decided to return
home There were tears in her eyes as
she started bacl; for she had planned for
this outing for weeks. and it was a
great disappointment to her not to go,
and the others called her silly for giving

Mr.. Clark bound up the injured leg of
the small animal and with the kind care

After all she got more happiness out of

Saved by Pumpkins.

There was a family that lived in Ohio
when it was very thinly settled. named
Place. Mr.. Place was very kind TO the
Indians. Once Mr.. and Mrs. Place and
the younger children went on a visit and
left the two twin girls to keep house.
The two had been busy one afternoon
cutting hideous faces out OF the pump
kins they had gathered. One OF the
girls went to get the cows. when she
came upon three Indians pointing to
their house and making all kinds OF mo-
tons. She ran home without allowing
herself TO be seen and told her sister
The frightened girls did not know what
to do. Then one of the girls thought that
perhaps If they would show the hideous
faces OF the Jack o'lanterns II might
brighten the Indians away So they
crawled into a pit covered with brush
and waited till evening. At last the In
dams came and were looking for them
in the garden. The girls at once fit the
candles in the Jack o'lanterns. The In
dams waited for only one glance and
fled into the woods. thinking they had
seen devils.
Soon after the girls parents returned.

Major Longs Expedition

In 1873 the United States government
sent an expedition under Major Stephen
II. Long 20 explore the Platte river and
the mountain region beyond. This ex-
petition is famous because Il brought
the first steamboat to the Nebraska
shores and placed the great American
Desert on the map. The steamboat was
named the Western Engineer. and left
Pittsburgh. Pa. May s. 1913. for the long
journey down the Ohio. then up the
Mississippi to 81. LoIds, and thence up
the Missouri river to the old Council
Bluff OF Lewis and Clark The Western
Engineer was well calculated TO st rike
terror into the hearts OF the western In
dams who had never seen a steamboat
The bow Of the boat rose in the form
OF a huge. black, scaly serpent with
open mouth. from which poured smoke
and steam when the boat was under
way. The Indians who saw the boat
said, white man. bad man. keep Great
Spirit chained. build fire under him 20
make him paddle the boat"
This serpent steamboat arrived at Fort
Lisa. ten miles above the present site
of Omaha. on September II. The party
under Major Long at once began TO pre-
pare cabins for winter quarters. The
spot they chose, with plenty OF wood
and stone near at hand for building and
FOR fuel. may stlll be found between the
high bluff and the Missouri river

tie band. Major Long secured as guides
two French trappers who were living
with the Pawnees. and pushed on.
June q the Long expedition arrived
at the junction OF the North Platte and
South Platte. Crossing both streams the
party continued for several days up the
south bank OF the South Platte. making
its last stop on what IL now Nebraska
on June .. near the corner OF Deuel. and
Keith counties. The expedition marched
60 where the South Platte issued from
its canyon In the Rocky mountains. then
turned south and returned to the Mis-
sssippi valley By way of the Arkansas.
There were two principal results from
MAJOR Longs expedition. Tho first was
a very accurate description OF Indian
customs and Indian life as they existed
among the Omahas. Otoes and Pawnees
a hundred years AFRO. This sorios OF
stories OF Indian life covers several hun
dre1 pages OF his report They were OBJ
tained through Indian traders and inter
prefers who had spent their lives with
these tribes. and are today one of the
best sources OF Information upon them.
The other result OF Major Longs ex-
petition was that all the country west
OF the Missouri river got a bad name,
which stuck TO It for fifty years. Upon
the map prepared for Major Long APP
pears the words Great Desert" stretch
ing from the Platte valley TO the Red
river In Texas. In his report upon the
country, Major Long said; ''It II al
most wholly unfit for cultivation ana OF
course uninhabitable for people depend
ing upon agriculture for their sub
slstence."
