HEALTH HINTS.
HoM 10 COUCH.

Having had dinned into their ears
the fact that dangerous disease germs
are sprayed into the air when a per
son coughs, people should now be In
structed In the art of coughing prop
erly so that the spread OF disease may
be more effectively checked.
This then tells you how:
Fold your handkerchief so that It Is
about Ave inches square. Place 1t
fatty In the right hand, II you are
right-handed. and with this hand hold
it tightly over the mouth.
Press the hand on the mouth, since
to hold it loosely over the mouth will
not accomplish the purpose. Now IN.
stead of coughing and trying to muffle
the sound in your throat or mouth,
mutfle it with your handkerchief.
Practice It until a person ten feet
away cannot hear you. The sound
made in coughing is due partly to air
pressing over the vocal cords, partly
TO air going through the bronchial
tubes and trachea and partly to the
resonance produced in the chambers
lying above the trachea. This sound
can be almost wholly avoided and the
Irritation to the lungs and air pas
sages prevented by keeping the air
passages open and letting your hand
kerchief do the muffling.
Now instead of expeliing 19l cubic
inches at each expiration, you will ex-
pei a smaller amount with more COM
fort to yourself and TO those around
you and with much less harm TO your
lungs and less danger OF spreading
germs in the air about you.

December Storm Period and
Cold is Worst in History of
Local Experiment Station

The day following Christmas was
of the year, although the thermom-
vious occasions during the present
month. The storm seemed to be gen
eral throughout the northwest al
though at various points in the state
there was considerable more snow
and the thermometer registered lower
than at Dickinson. Mandan and Bis
marck report about twenty inches of
snowfall, extreme cold weather and a
general tieup of all railroad traffic,
except through trains on the main line
and these were run many hours late.
The snow plows were put into use on
portions Of the main line and all
branch lines of the Northern Pacific.
In railroad circles it was reported to
be the worst blizzard since 1896.
Freight traffic in the local N. P.
yards was tied up for a couple of days
but trains are moving now in both di-
%rections. Trainmaster Wynn was out
with other officials east and west get
ting the tracks open for traffic.
Wherever the snowfall was greater
than through this immediate section
of the country there was a general
tieup on both railroads and country
roads. The mail stage from Dickin-
son to Manning did not get out from
Christmas day until Thursday, and
then a team was engaged to take the
place Of the regular st. sc car. Drifts
are very deep in some places and trav-
ell over country roads is almost impos-
siblc.
The streets Of the city are piled
high with drifts which nccessitated
