DR.. ALEXANDER GRAHAM OF
Duluth is weekly publishing health
hints and the one entitled High
Cost of Living VS.. Cost of High
Living" seems to be the real stuff
and we reproduce it for the benefit
of our readers. The DR.. says:
Every little while we hear the
high cost of living" discussed and
cussed, but strange as it may seem,
very little if anything is said rela-
tive to the cost of high living"
1T is safe to say that where one
person suffers as a result of the
high cost of living, that ten thou
sand 60 down and out as the result
of the cost of high living.
Where one person suffers as a
result of being overworked and
underfed, ten thousand suffer and
die prematurely as the result of
being underworked and overfed.
Appetite was made to satisfy,
and food was made to eat," is a
slogan that has been worked over
time by people in i'll health, and il
is one of the greatest obstacles
with which the successful physician
has to combat.
Man is the only civilized animal
that doesn't quit eating when sick.
When you wake up in the morning
with that dark brown taste in your
mouth, it should mean no break
fast. 1t is one of the ways that
your stomach has of notifying you
that a physiological rest is most
imperative, and you should
endeavor to balance the account of
your indiscretion by giving your
stomach the vacation she asked for.
When digestion is overtaxed by
foods that overtax because of their
hardness to digest, the person so
taxed is nervous, irritable and
fanatical. 1t is not my purpose in
those articles to dictate to the
reader what he shall or shall not
eat; when my services are engaged
to give special instructions will be
time enough to do that. And
when that time comes, I shall
endeavor to advise a course that
leads to the longest life and the
greatest physical efficiency"

The fifth annual report of the
United States Steel and Carnegie
Pension Fund showing the bust
ness done for the year 1915 is at
hand. The report is very interest
ing and shows that the total
amount of benefits paid out during
the past year amounted to $685.
389.42 divided among the institu-
tons of the U. S. Steel corporation
and its subsidiary concerns.
The report shows that there was
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1916-01-28

to endorse him for this very reason.
The Tower and Ely papers have
been making violent assaults on
Wood, and this has been taken up
by other publications, and the
claim is now made that the game
department of the state IS about
to dispense with his services. 1t
will be sorry day when Wood IS
no longer a game warden. OF all
the men in the pay of the state he
is the only one who is constantly
on the 60, and who makes any
attempt to keep the game hogs IN
check. Now and then he will
catch a man with a muskrat skin
out of season, and needs must
make an arrest, just as he arrested
the Tower editor for catching
understood fish, but in the main
he gets real game hogs. He is not
to blame if some otherwise good
citizen of Tower and Ely should
belong to this class. For us we
say more power to Wood!"
The Biwabik Times was evil
IDENTIFY laboring under an illusion
when it penned the above terse
remarks on a subject with which it
does not seem familiar and which it
evidently misunderstood. There
is no organized attempt to dis
credit Game Warden Wood. -
There is little opposition to his
methods of securing convictions
however, and this opposition does
not come from the game hog.
There is nothing being done to
hamper him in his work of pro-
recting game and making examples
of the poacher and illegal fishermen
but there is some opposition to his
plan of railroding men from long
distances to pet courts and court
officers where a conviction is
always assured whether the man is
guilty or not. We are not in favor
of arresting homesteaders and
settlers in outlying districts for
getting fresh meat to feed his
family. Neither are we in favor of
dragging a citizen of Ely to Hib-
bling for trial or Hibbing man to
Ely for trial. The bare fact of a
man having venison IN his
possession out of season or being
found with a short fish is no con-
elusive evidence that the man is a
criminal and as a citizen of the
state he should be given fair
hearing and his circumstances
taken into consideration. Many
man has been railroaded from his
home for a long distance at an
enormous expense and loss of time.
If he pleaded guilty he was fined
and allowed his liberty. If, on
the other hand, he asked for a
hearing his case was showed around
for a week or two and the expenses
were doubled and sometimes
trebled. in fact, he was harrassed
to such an extent by this third
degree method of securing con-
victions that he plead guilty to
escape the piling up costs of the
case. This is the stuff that was
objected to and not the activity of
Game Warden Wood who has dur
ing his time thrown the fear of the
law and its consequences into the
poacher. We labor under the idea
that all the fish in the lake are not
worth the branding of a man as a
criminal because he broke the law
technically by having a short fish
or two in his catch. We are also
of the impression that local courts
are abundantly able and competent
to pass on such weighty subject as
a half inch on the end of a fish, a
fifteen cent muskrat skin or a few
pounds of venison or moose.
