Dr.. J.t A. Gates, of Kenyon, Good
hue County, issreceiving much favor
able mention by the press of the
state as being just the right kind of
a man for the office of Liutenant
Governor. When a member of the
state legislature some years ago, DR..
Gates made for himself an enviable
record, : He was the champion for
many important reform measures,
particularly pertaining to public
health; and was always saunch
friend of northern Minnesota. He
helped pass several measures in
which we in this part of the state,
were greatly interested. During his
visit to our city last week, the doctor
met many Of our leading republicans.
The impression he made was very
favorable everybody seeming to like
his clean cut and honest features
and straightforward talk. It is safe
to say that DR.. Gates will receive
strong support for liutenant governor
in Marshall county.

HAPPY HIKERS' CLUB
Young Ladies of Warren Launch
Health Giving Movement. No
Mere Men Allowed.

On Monday evening, last, about
eighteen Of Warren's ambitious young
ladies met in secret conclave; no mere
men were allowed, and altho the
young women present are willing to
tell certain things, no one outside has
been. able to learn just what was said
and done behind the closed doors.
From the merry laughter which float
ed out through every crack and
Granny, however, it was safe to guess
! it was nothing of doleful nature.
Those who know, freely admit that
early mornings will find them far
afeld in pursuit of health and happi-
ness. They tell us they will hear the
robins first early morning call and
see the little blades of grass lift their
heads to greet the rising sun. Oh,
yes, they will; for there is a fine for
sleepy heads and the "just one more
nap.'

and hear such scraps of conversation
as .six o'clock sharp don't be late, :,

are passing a group Of Happy Hik-

There are eighteen charter mem
bers and already others have been
asking admission qualifications. Of
course, the young men are modestly
offering superior wisdom and advise,
Ibut ut-welI men are not allowed,
that's all. The following officers
were elected for a period of six
months: President, Nell B. Seign;

CANADA CENSORS u. S. MAIL.

CIV. Smith, Of this city, received
a. letter from Canada last Sunday
that had been opend by the censor
and the word censored" stamped in
bold letters across it's face. What
reason the Canadian government can
have for opening Mr. Smiths mail is
hard to figure out. Perhaps it fears
that Mr.. Smith has dreaded Zeppe-
lin stuck away in his back yard and
that early some fine morning he will
soar over Winnipeg and lombard the
city from the sky. Or perhaps it is
a submarine attack that is feared,
now that the water is high and it
would be an easy matter for Mr..
Smith to float one of them "pesky
things" down Snake river and Red
river to attack Winnipeg by torped-
oes and guns. Well, who knows what
our peaceful and inoffensive Mr..
Smith may have up his sleeve, and
the Winnipegers, to be safe, better
tscrutinize carefully every inch Of sky
and every drop Of Red river water
from now on until the end Of the
war. .,s's- -
According to the Minneapolis Jour
nal this morning the Canadian censor
has also been guilty Of opening U. s.
official mail. This really is more
leuss and serious than opening Nj,
Smiths mail, and were The sdiscour-
.tesy", not to say "offense", practiced
by some other country, Germany for
instance, one could expect protests
and notes galore from the present
administration: We fail to see why
Canada should suspect any correspon-
dence Of u. S. officials.

Why Lead Pencils Have Mo- Lead.

Why Lead Pencils Have Mo- Lead.
Do you know that lead pencils are
not made with lead? Long long
ago lead was used for this purpose,
and the, continuance of the name is
misleading. but illustrates the per-
sistence of the original association.
To-day lead pencils are made with
graphite and have been since this
substance was discovered in 1865.
It is one Of the forms under which
carbon occurs in nature. It is soft
and unctuous to the touch, iron gray
in color, and Of metallic lustre.
Graphite is dug, from mines, and
lis rarely found in sufficient purity to
be available for pencil making. At
ter being purified and pulverized il
| is mixed with clay, the proportion Of
each depending upon the grade Of
hardness desired in the pencil. The
degree Of softness depends upon the
relative preponderance Of the gra-
phite in the mixture, and the hard.
ness is in accordance with the great.
er proportion Of clay. The requisite
idegree Of hardness depends, too, OF
the compression Of the mixture int
form ready to be glued into the woot
lcasings.
Ceylon, Mexico and Europe are ths
ichief sources Of graphite supply. i
this country there are importan'
mines at Ticonderoga, n. Y, At

Does Advertising Cost Money.

Speaking Of advertising, here is
what some of the big publications
charge for their space: Ladies'
Home Journal, $500 line, $104.00
an inch, and $4,000 for a full page
each issue. The back cover. page
sells for $4,000. A full page ad-
vertisment in the Saturday Evening
Post costs $4,000 and the back cover
sells for $1,000. The center double
page in colors is $4,000. An ex-
change says the rates are not that
high in the local paper but that the
local paper as an advertising med
ium is the best medium possible for
the home merchant.

FLIES COST MUCH IN
.......zo . DOCTORS BILLS.

| The fly is one of mans most dead
ly enemies. 1t makes constant war
fare on him, using for ammunition the
disease germ. The fly covers the
feet and body with germs picked up
in dirth and filth, flies to the nearest
house, walks across 1baby's milk cup,
then baby drinks his milk, sickens
and dies. "a
The thing to do is to remove dirt
and filth, destroy the fy's: breeding
places, shut the fly out of the home
and keep it away from the family's
food. This is more effective than
swatting the fly and paying the
doctors bills, and it doesn't cost so
much. .a@. -. ..a..ss - 3

to dispose of waste that may be
laden with germs which may produce
illness. Persons living under rural
conditions are beginning to see that
the health problem there is just as
serious as in the city, and that many
] common diseases can be prevented
by the removal Of all waste. The
diseases which are more easily car
tried in filth are those Of the intest-
inal tract, such as typhoid, dysen-
ttery, diarrhoea and summer COM
plant, of children. In these diseases,
the, germs: are abundant in the in
testinal discharges. Where there are
not sanitary conveniences for the
disposal of this material so that it
will be covered, flies may carry the
] germs back to food or milk or may
contaminate the water supply
Flies delight to feed in filth and
then come into the houses where
they may drop some of the filth into
the food, or may walk over the
baby's mouth and wipe off few
germs, or they may get into the
milk tins and wash off some of the
germ-laden filth in the milk or leave
spots on the tin to be washed off by
the milk later. Even kitchen gar
Ibage exposed at the back door may
supply germs which cause diarrhoea.
The usual method Of disposal Of
farmyard manure gives flies every
chance to develop in large numbers,
for Lcuse flies breed in stable man
ure. The farmer is sti'! further ex-
lposed to danger from the chance
visitor or laborer on the farm. Many
persons are carriers Of typhoid
! germs and are discharging them
continually from the bladder and
{ bowls, whence flies can carry them
to ether persons.
}, The following articles Of this series
vii show some devices that will

"Giving a national defense aspect

All forms of violence, including homicide
