Open the Windows and Brush the
Teeth.

Statistics gathered recently in the
Office Of the county superintendent of
schools of Marshall county, reveal
some startling and interesting facts
in regard to the general health of the
pupils of the rural schools. There
were 1888 children examined and the
reports show that only 551 sleep with
open windows in winter. Of the 2288
pupils examined only $50 had perfect
teeth, S33 had uneven teeth, 440 one
defective tooth, 1872 three or more de-
fective teeth, some having from eight
to all teeth badly decayed. Only 454
brush their teeth every day. 1929 pu-:
pills had been troubled with toothache.
There We're. TT who have had
measles, 224. scarlet fever, 1872 whoop-
ing cough, 4O1 humps, 1O1 diphtheria.
There were 1911 who had defective
sight and 1876 with defective hearing.
Many cases of suspected adenoids
were reported, 500 had colds on the
day of examination and 983 had colds
during the preceding month. An es-
innate is made of ,515 absences caus--
ed by illness during the month in
which the report is made.
The report shows the great need of
medical inspection of children in the
public schools. Thru ignorance Of or
neglect in observing simple rules Of
health the child is handicapped in the
race of life at the very start. It is
not enough that the schools teach
book learning and facts about agricul-
ture and live stock. From the schools
should proceed knowledge that will
reach the homes of the pupils and
make for improved sanitary condi-
tons in the home life. One may know
how to grow strong, healthy plants
of wheat, corn and oats, and yet not
know how to care for the tender, i'm
mortal plants committed to ones care.
One may know how to raise a strong
colt and yet be ignorant OF. 4 conditions
necessary in rearing a strong, healthy
boy. This is matter that should
receive more than passing attention
on the part Of parents, teachers and
sociologists. It is more necessary to
rear a strong, healthy, virile race of
human beings than an improved breed
of cattle. -; = -...-.-, l..

"Never too old to learn" is an old
saying, the truth Of which is illustrat-
ed at the Farmers Short Course.
Gray-headed men are seen seated by
the side of young men and boys, lis
tening attentively to the lectures on
the various subjects. That is really
as it should be. No day ought to
pass without some new lesson being
learned. Life itself is school from
which no one ever graduates: We
honor and restrict old people who
want to learn. That is really the best
way, also, in which to retain ones
youth.

of adequate hotel accommodations
was cited as a fact from which our
city derives publicity of a wrong kind.
Our valley has suffered much from
Misrepresentation in the past. The
publicity that is obtained by our far
mers at the different crop SHOWS is of
the most valuable kind. Farmers
clubs can do a great deal in the way
Of publicity that will prove helpful in
building up their respective commu-
mites and encourage the coming Of
new settlers. Written publicity is of
the most valuable kind, as it goes far,
and no efforts should be spared to Sc
cure it. By keeping the name Of
Warren and Marshall county con-
stantly be fore the public, the outside
world will know that we are on the
map.
Oswald Lind, district engineer of
the State Highway Commission,
whose work is principally in Marshall
county, spoke next on the question of
Better Roads, He said that the
question Of good roads should be en-
tirely abs olved from politics, and he
deprecated the efforts being made in
the legislature to repeal the Dunn and
Elwell go cd roads laws. Minnesota
is now one Of the foremost states in
the Union as pertains to road legisla-
ton and should take no step back
ward. He told Of efforts recently
made to S cure an increased appro-
priation from the state highway COM
mission for the county, and that as
result Of these efforts $4,000 have
been obtai med, which together with
county fun ds will make over $4,000
to be expended mostly on mainten-
ance, of no ads in the county this year.
Only one. bridge to cost about $500
need be built. With the experience
gained las t year, he was sure that
more effici lent work in keeping the
roads in shape would be done this.
year. A good roads day will be ar
ranged for in the near future and he
hoped to see farmers all over the
county interested in this movement
for better roads.
The last speaker on the program
was R.. c. Mathwig, whose subject
was Settlement: on Our Vacant
Lands" Mr.. .Mathwig is the silver
tongued orator Of the club, and, be-
sides, he is also man Of ideas and
wide experience along the lines sug-
Igested by the topic. He pointed out
| the fact that probably one-third or
two-ffths Of the land tributary to
Warren is still vacant or undeveloped
and that the settlement and cultiva-
ton Of these lands is of primary i'm
portance to the city and the state.
With every acre brought under pro-
tductivity, the volume of business in
the city would be increased manifold.
All citizens should cooperate in the
movement to get the vacant lands
settled. He deprecated, the propensity
some people have to- knock everything
done in this line. When new set
tier arrives he should be welcomed,
encouraged and made to feel right at
home. He criticised very severely
those business men who seem to take
no other interest in the new settler
than to get his trade, his money. A
great deal of injustice has been done

Just look around the house, down in
the cellar, up in the attic, out in the
yard, in the stable or loft-every-

useless to you and yours, are lying

Every apparently useless article is
worth money-hard, spot cash.

used around most homes than would,
if sold, clothe one or two persons for

Make tour Of the house. Make out
a list Of the things you do not want
and never will want. Mark down the
very lowest cash price you will take
for the things. Add up the figures
and the total will surprise you.
Now to turn these useless things
into money for yourself:
Fix up a little ad something like
this:

SYNOPSIS

At their home On the frontier between
ehe Browns ard Grays Marta Galland and
her mother. entertaining Colonel Wester-
ling OF the Grays, see Captain LanstTon
OF the Browns injured by a fall in his
aeroplane. Ten years later. Westerling,
nominal vice but real chief OF staff, re-en-
forces South La Tir and meditates on war
Marta tells him OF her teaching children
the follies OF war and martial patriotism
and begs him to prevent war while he Is
chief of staff. Lanstron calls on Marta
at her home. She tells Lanstron that she
believes Fs;!er, the gardener TO be a spy
laAstron confesses IL Is true and shows
her telephone which Feller has con-
cealed in a secret passage under the tower
for use TO benefit the Browns in war
emergencies. Lanstron declares his love
for Marta Westerlng and the Gray pre-
mier plan to use trivial international
affair TO foment warlike patriotism ans
strike before declaring war. Partow,
Brown chief OF staf. reveals his plans 10
Lanstron made vice chief. The Gray
army crosses the border line and attacks.
The Browns check them. Artillery. In
fantry, aeroplanes and dirigibles engage.
Marta has her first glimpse OF war in It's
modern, cold. scientific, murderous bru-
tality. The Browns fall back TO the Gal
land house. Marta sees night attack.
The Grays attack in force Feller leaves
his secret telephone and goes back to his
guns. Hand TO hand fghting. The Browns
fall back again Marta asks Lanstron over
the phone TO appeal to Partow to stop the
fighting. Vandalism in the Galland house.
Westerlng and his stan occupy the Gal
land house and he begins TO WOO Marta,
who apparently throws her fortunes with
the Grays and offers valuable information.
She calls up Lanstron on the secret tele-
phone and plans 10 give Westerlng infor-
mation that will trap the Gray army.
Westerling forms his plan OF attack upon
what he learns troU her. The Grays take
