WITH HOWE IN GLACIER PARK.

Towering snow-capped peaks arranged
in all the grandeur of natures Master
hand, mountains reaching up to cloud
land, rock bound majestic lakes clear
as a mirror, dashing mountain streams
that leap from precipice to precipice,
and living glaciers-all this and much
more will be unfolded by Lyman H.
Howe at the Turner Theatre on Wednes-
day evening of next week during a
memorable pictorial pilgrimage through
Glacier National Park. For sheer gran
deur the scenery cannot be surpassed
on this continent or any other. The
film is a picture of lake and mountain
and sky blended in a way that only the
Master of the Universe could form,
using the solids and liquids Of Chaos for
material and the roof Of the world for
canvas. Without question within the
confines Of the Park comprising about
1900 square miles is contained the most
bountiful array of tremendous out-of-
door scenes that the imagination could
conceive. Exceptionally interesting,
too, are studies of the American Indian,
but not the Indian of the newspapers,
nor of the novel, nor as conceived by the
''tenderfoot,"' but the real Indian as he
is in his daily life among his own people,
his friends, and where he is not en-
barrassed by the presence of strangers,
nor trying to produce effects. ; -.
AS is typical of Howe's exhibition, a
great variety of other scenes will be pre-
sented, such as an earoplane flight above
the clouds, a torpedo boat struggling
through a terrific gale, curious examples
of capitalization, logging in Italy, a
graphic portrayal of the movements of
animals reproduced so slowly that they,
show details which the human eye could
never detect, the Firth of Forth bridge
in Scotland, Madeira, winter in the
Swiss Alps, and one of the greatest in
dustries in our era showing every phase
that enters into the construction of the
latest type automobile as seen on trip
through the Willys-Overland plant at
Toledo, Ohio. Besides there will be
freely interspersed many of those ever
welcome cartoon comedy films which
always form such pleasing diversion in
Howe's productions. Il

Shrewd Deal In Ducks.

"You say it is quite impossible for
you to agree with Farmer Perry on these
points?" said Hodges's solicitor to him.
"Aye!" answered Hodges. ~.;.:
'"Then I'm afraid there's no help for
it; the matter will have to go before the
judge" - -,
Every WE'LL" said Hodges. And then,
after pause, he added: 'Do you think
it would do any good to send the judge
a couple. of fine fat ducks?'
"Not unless you wish to lose your
case" said the lawyer decisively. And
Hodges left, apparently convinced. IT,
In due course the case was tried, and
Hodges gained a verdict.
'I believe l won because 1 sent them
ducks, after all, The said to his lawyer
afterwards. H .#
"What!' said the astonished man of
law. "Do you mean to say you sent
them?' ~
'Aye!" was the reply; "but thinking
on what you said, 1 sent 'em in Perry's
name!' Z

Physical Training of Children
Sadly Neglected.

Recent reports by United States army
recruiting officers have revealed a start
ling deficiency in the physical equipment
of the young men of the country. An
average of less than Is per cent Of the
young men who applied for admission
unto the army were able to pass the
physical ability test. While New York
City furnished proof positive that city
aife is not conducive to the health of
the young, the general average through
'out the country is so low as to attract
,attenton,
The recruiting officer for the marine
corps in recent report states that out
OF Hop applicants examined in New
York City during the first three months
of the year only 316 passed the physical
test. One man in thirty-fve came up
to the marine corps standard, the rest
were rejected for defects of eyesight,
bearing, bad teeth, underweight and
other shortcomings.
A further statement of the results CT
recruiting for the Marine corps shows
that Of those examined at Boston 10
per cent were accepted, at Philadelphia
20.4 per cert, at Baltimore 1913 per cent,
Pittsburgh, Is; Buffalo, S.4; Cleveland,
s; Detroit, SO; Cincinnati, II. In the
district including Minneapolis, St. Paul
and Duluth the percontay of those ac-
,cepted was 1919.
While it is no doubt true that the
applicants for service in the army and
navy come from the class OF derelicts of
she country the best part of whose life
las been spent in carousals OF some sort
sOr other, the percentage among others
will be found almost as great. It
proves that the youth of the country is
deteriorating in physical makeup. Proper
COURSES of physical exercise under ccm-
potent supervision in the public schools
is the only remedy To wait until a
man is full grown, when his habits have
been formed and his course in life has
been set, is too late. While the body
can be given such a course of training as
will tend to increase a mans endurance,
the child brought up under physical
training is the one that will stand the
severe tests. Physical training in the
public schools of the country is sadly
neglected, in fact there is none, as the
field sports, while beneficial to the stu
dent, can not be regarded as physical
culture, and as a matter Of fact are only

Redwood county is making bid for
the Office of representative-at-large for
Brown and Redwood counties in the
candidacy of A. J. Praxel of Lamberton.
It is argued by the friends of Mr.. Praxel
that the division of legislative represent
tatives between the two counties is mot
fair to Redwood county, as Brown at
present has both the float senator and the
float representative, besides being re-
presented in the lower house by rep
resenattive of it's own. : "

Voters FUW For Tricks
or Gang

Shortly after the St. Paul city primary
the Review stated that the gang had
nominated their candidate and predicted
that Major Handy's opponent would
win out in the election because the gang
was behind him. While it is not within
the province of this paper to discredit
the successfully candidate, onecan not
help but observe how smooth the politi-
cal game is worked in St. Paul.
Major Handy has been in Office as
city comptroller for number of years.
He took decided stand against the ever
increasing burden of taxes in pruning
the annual budget of the various de-
partments to the tune of thousands of
dollars. Dire threads of political re-
tirement did not move him. He stood
pat on every proposition once he had
made up his mind. He was popular
with the people because of his honesty
and straightforward way of dealing with
them. But the bosses were against
him. The gang could not pry off enough
out of other sources over which Mr..
Handy had no control to satisfy the
ravenous appetites of the boodlers.
To get rid Of Mr.. Handy has been a
problem for the gang, but the opportuni-
ty was Grated this spring, when friends(?)
of Mr.. Handy urged him to run for
mayor. He thought these friends sim
cere and no doubt many of them were.
But it was the Vaccination of the gang
to get Handy out Of the way. Mayor
Powers, an out and-out member of the
O'Connor machine, was defeated for the
nomination because he stood no show
against Handy, and Mr.. Irwin, practi-
cally unknown in politics and virtually
"a newcomer in St. Paul, was secretly
given the support of the machine.
Then the great cry of clean politics,
clean man, business administration, will
of the people, etc., was carefully fed out
to enemies Of the gang and they swallow
led the whole thing, hook, line and sinker
and elected Mr.. Irwin by the biggest
majority ever given majoralty candi-
date in the Capital CRY.
The people, have had their say;
they have removed from Office the best
friend they ever had and the gang is
satisfied. If Mayor Irwin dances to the
tGune of the gang and does it's bidding
ior the next two years he will be re-
,elected; # he does not and attempts
to carry cut his own ideas his work will
ice hampered in such a manner that his
administration will be discredited so
badly that the gang can elect one who
will stand hitched. But the main OBJ
.ject has been attained: Major Handy
has been retired to private life. Oh,
it's great game!

THE WORD COURTESY
GAINESVILLE Gazette

Words are wonderful things. They
are sweet like bees fresh honey; like
bees they have terrible stings. Re
Gently two ladies approached a bust
ness man asking for a cOntributiOnf for
a project that was dear to their hearts.
They were not used to the game Of so
Letting funds for any purpose and it
so happened this man was the first
they had approached. His store was
patronized by their families and both
he and his wife were of the same So
cial set as the solicitors.
The question was propOunded to
him and his answer was so discourage
aging, so brusque and ill-timed, his
refusal to aid couched in language
that "stung," and the two ladies left
the place thoroughly indignant, in
suited and angry through and through.
It was disheartening to say the least
were beggars, as implied.
1t was entirely within the business
mans province to refuse a contribu-
ton if he desired. In fact it is a Won
der that more merchants do not refuse
requests for financial assistance for
various causes. However, it was his
manner in wording his refusal that
hurt. His manner in delivering his
little address was discourteous and
the ladies were cut to the quick.
A second business man visited did
not contribute. In fact, explained
WHY. He was interested in the project,
however. Asked many questions and
wished the ladies success in their IN
dertaking. The difference was 50
marked the ladies were encouraged.
They had tasted Of the words that
stung like bees and they had listened
to the words that were sweet like
honey. The difference was most no
ticeabIe. The effect most marked and
the second merchant will not lose by
reason Of his courteous reply even if
lie did not aid financially.

LEATHER PRICES HIGH

(Atlantic, Iowa News telegraph
This is the day of the shoe. Never
before has footwear been at once such
vital, spectacular and expensive fac
tor in the life of the world. The bel
ligerent nations Of Europe are scour-
ing the earth for leather to clOthe the
feet OF their armies.
The sources of the leather supply,
which were formerly considered mex
haustible, are beginning to show signs
of depletion. Most of the European
countries have placed embargOes on
the expectation Of leather hides, skins
and even tanning materials, as all
their resources are being drawn upon
to keep the armies equipped. While
the war has created an unprecedented
demand for leather, it is at the same
time destroying the source Of supply.
Thousands Of horses and cattle are
butchered daily under circumstances
which prevent the preservation Of
their hides, thus entailing immense
waste.
This situation has its worst effect
upon the American manufacturer. The
European belligerents have turned to
him for army shoes and at the same
time cut off his supplies of hides and
tanning materials. The United States
is now shipping leather to Europe. In
the year between August, 1914, and
August, 1915, the expectation of Amer
lean leather goods to Europe increased
from $2,O47 LOG to 1882, 256, of which
the increase in shoes alone was from
$3SO,376 to $2,745,196. Over fifteen
million shoes have been supplied the
armies Of Europe by American manu-
facturers.
Another large order for three mill
lion shoes for the Italian army is re-
ported to have been placed with a
New England concern. This will
cause the price of leather again to
soar which the American public will
find annoying when it goes to buy its
new spring pumps.
A Chicago firm of retailers is get
ting twenty-five dollars a pair for
one style Of shoes, and in New York,
Fifth avenue shops are exhibiting col
ored evening slippers at SIS a pair.
Sport shoes cost anywhere from S. to
$12, and street shoes of colored kid
and leather are from So to So pair.
The combination of leather scarcity
and style has made women's shoes the
most expensive article in women's
wear.
With styles in shoes changing every
third week and the market in such an
erratic condition, with the supply of
leather decreasing at a rapid rate and
with wooden heels at premium, the
American shoe manufacturer is over
come by his own success. The charges
that he has sold paper soles TO the
European government are greeted by
the shoe trade with scOrnful amuse-
ment. The manufacturer has only to
reach across his desk and produce
another order for couple Of million
army shoes from the same govern
ment.

THAT TIRED FEELING

During April more cases of tuber-
culosis are generally reported in Wis
consin than in any other month of the
year. l know nothing about the dis
ease which would make it actually
more prevalent during this month
than any other. As a matter of fact
it probably isn't because we know that
on account of the chronic nature Of
the disease and the slOwness Of pa
tients to present themselves for med
ical examination or diagnosis, the
conditions has usually been present
for some months or even years before
its discovery.
1t would be interesting to know if
the rigors of Wisconsin winters have
a part in so depressing the health Of
these patients as to make further
evasion of the truth impossible. 1t is
more likely that the still too preva-
lent cold weather custom of sleeping
and living in badly ventilated houses
has been the important depressing
factor. Another possible explanation
of the April visit of the doctor is the
come to be called spring fever" Most
people experience some reaction with
the coming of the first warm days.
Those who are actually tuberculosis
would naturally have this feeling in
an aggravated form.
Whatever the explanation, the i'm
portant fact remains that during the
Of fIo hn1
cases of tuberculoUs is discovered and
reported to the health authorities, and
it is most important and practical to
consider what advice will be given to
and accepted by these patients. How
many of them will be advised to enter
a sanatorium and secure prompt and
thorough treatment? How many will
accept the advice when given? 1t is
safe to answer that too many will
delay. Too many believe, or are in
duced to believe, that it's easy to pur-
sue satisfactory course of treatment
at home during the summer months
when outdoor living is easy and at
tractive.
If fresh air were the only or even
the main ingredient in the health for
mula there would be some warrant
for such belief. 1t is not. While it
is true that fresh air, sunlight, good
food, rest and exercise form the ele-
ments of cure for tuberculosis, the
all-important thing is the skill with
which they are mixed and blended by
experts in the treatment of the dis
ease. When sanatorium treatment Of
tuberculosis is advocated it is not be-
cause sanatoria have an especially
good brand of fresh air, sunlight and
the other ingredients, but because SAN
atoria have or should have specialized
and skillful workmen in this craft.
As we expect more skillful adjusting
and repairing of automobiles in gar
ages than we would in harness shops
so may we look for better adjustment
of treatment of consumption in a tu-
bercuIOsis sanatorium than elsewhere.
