II is a wel-known fact that there is
little or no dust lodging where an cleo
trio fan is running, SO a wise shopkeeper
Installed one in his show window. The
small particles which escape the most
vigilant housekoeper's eye will soon fly
off in the blast of a fan. Another ingeni-
Gus woman uses tho fan as means to
heat her living room on fairly warm
days, simply by placing the fan over the
open register in tho floor. In this way
the heat. no matter how slight, Is well
distributed.
Drying the hair after an indoor sham
poo is almost as common as the method
of reversing the vacuum cleaner, as en-
ployed by some hairdressers. A kitchen

cleared out by using the fan. These are
only a few of its many winter uses. but
they prove the contention that It Is just as
useful at this time of the year as at other
times, even more so.

Not a Tramp; A Swim

A ragged hobo, weak and cold,
Was walking DER a bridge I'm told.
Beneath him rushed the waters wild,
He heard a cry. 20, save my child"
And looking downward Ger the rail,
He saw an orange cold and pale;
She stood upon the mossy brink
And watched her little daughter sink
In the briny dark and deep.
While Mother Orange stopped to weep.
The tramp was brave and he was bold
And dived straight in the waters cold;
He shouted out, I'm not afraid,
I'll get your little orangeade"

MISS A MEAL OCCASIONALLY is
GOOD HABIT TO HELP HEALTH
By WILLIAM BRADY, M. d

F"W BY WILLIAM
nNHAT most of US cat too much and
i that most of our ills are directly or
indirectly the result OF overesting is now
pretty well known. If good evidence is
demanded to support the idea, we have
It in the remarkably good results obtained
in the treatment OF various ailments by
fasts.
Right here let us beg both physicians
and laymen to refrain from calling fast
ing, starvation. To fast means to abstain
from food: to starve means to die from
hunger. One may fast voluntarily and
with good effect; one would not volun-
tarily starve. The careless misuse of the
term starve or starvation when fast IS
meant tends to frighten timid invalids and
perhaps oppose an insuperable obstacle to
a very necessary. beneficial fast.
One Of the most spectacular applications
OF therapeutic fasting is the new treat
ment of diabetes. By means of a prelim-
mary fast OF a few days 1t Is possible, as
Investigators in the Rockefeller Institute,
New York, and elsewhere have shown, 10
clear UP the glycosuria (sugar in urine)
and place the patient in a state of bal
anced metabolism which can be reached
in no other way so promptly and safely.
A II to "a hour fast is an old and efft-
ESllCbJ All GIL SSNNN SST
Cold"
People are generally obsessed with the
belief that II is dangerous to skip meal
or several meals. That three square
meals a day are essential for good health
and strength. That loss of appetite is a
thing to be whipped into shape by all
sorts OF artificial stimulants, whereas in
fact loss of appetite is mostly fortunate
thing for the overfed.
Missing a IneaI occasionally is a habit
most OF us ought to acquire. Especially
IL we are a few pounds overweight for
our age and height Especially If we are
of a "bilious" type. Especially If we are
subject to indigestion. And very especl-
ally, II we are victims of that many
sided condition, administration. Miss
ing a meal is a lot better than tamping
a meal down by the help of cathartics.
Fasting. as a remedy for one whose
health is frankly poor. for one with a
definite disease, is not an experiment to
be tried as a patent medicine, but a
powerful therapeutic measure to be ap-
piled only by the physician who thor
Oughly understands the patient and his
disease.

Fargo, July 19.-Families who we're
driven from their homes in the low
sections of the city during the recent
flood Of the Red river, are today pre-
pairing to repair their houses for re-
occupation and soon will be comfort
ably located until the river makes
another swell.
The flood waters are fast receding
today and since the high mark was
reached over a week ago fall of near
ly eight feet has been noticed. Along
the banks where the water stood for
about ten days, buildings and trees
are coated with thin dirty sediment,
all of which will have to be cleaned
off or washed down by the rains.
1t is impossible to estimate the extent
of damage done to homes by the
flood, but it is considered to be we'll

Hazelton Nine OutcLass
Bismarck Peggers and
Win BY Score of g to I
By "GIll"

The fast Hazelton team outclassed
the locals in snappy exhibition at
Hazelton yesterday afternoon and
won by a 9 to 1 score. The Hazelton
players were in great form and play
ed consistent ball, Taylor tWirling a
perfect game all the way through.
Manager Kinks crew of peggers
were slightly off form and dropped
the match by several costly errors.
Practically all of the runs scored by
Hazehon were the result of bungles
on the part of the home boys. They
played hard but seemed to be in a rut
from the start and their efforts to re-
cuperate were without avail.
Taylor was on the slab for Hazel
ton and pitched wonderful ball. The
big speed artist had everything on
the pill and although he was touched
for seven hits he managed to keep
them we'll scattered. Fisher backed
him up we'll behind the bat and also
did some nice work with the big
stick.
Goldie did the heaving for Bis

marck and pitched good ball. Eight
hits were secured off his delivery but
it was not due to inferior work on his
part that the locals were defeated.
Peacock played his usual heady game
behind the bat and had Goldie work
ing nicely up until the seventh, when
Talcott mounted the rubber. Frank
put over some classy flinging for the
time he occupied the box but Hazel
ton was too far in the lead for Shift
to do any material good.
Hazelton comes to Bismarck Cor
two games with the locals on Satur
day and Sunday. Each team has now
won game and the fans will be out
in large numbers to witness these
two teams in action
Sunday afternoon a double-header
will be staged at the new park. The
club representing Herreid, S. d., will
play Bismarck at 2:30 and Hazelton
and the local will again cross bats at
4:30. A special train will bring the
Herreid players and large following
of fans to the Capital City.
