his opening number, Celeste Aida

the minds OF his hearers that he has a
tenor voice OF unmistakanle grand op-
era quality. Mr. Baggiori gave a dra-
matte Interpretation OF MAcFadyen's
Inter Nos, and also included in his sec
ond group the beautiful o Sole Mic (Df
capua), in which his sweetest tones
were evident; the Cadman favorite, At
Dawring; and LeonPs artistic conpo--
sition, Birth OF Morn. One OF the best
of Mr.. Baggiori's interpretations last
evening, however, was that of Tostis
Goodbye, which he gave as an encore.
His duet with Miss Romsdahl, Home to
Our Mountains. from Verdfs II Tro-
vatore, WAS easily the star number of
the program, and was given by both
singers with thorough artistry.
The perfect ensemble work done by
the Choral group of the Amateur Mu-

opened the program came as a delight
full surprise to the audience, this being
the first public appearance OF that

Company B Auxiliary
Starts Knitting For
The Red Cross Work

At it's meeting Monday evening the
Co. B auxiliary began Knitting, as It's
present work for the local Red Cross
chapter. The task was rendered of un-
usual interest from the fact that two
of the instructors, Mrs Roland John
ston and Mrs. III. M. Talbot, had done
knitting for the soldiers during the
civil war, and related many interesting
"reminiscences OF that time. The other
Instructors Monday evening were Mrs
Critchfield and Mrs. Margaret Richards
A design was selected for an auxil-
larry pin, the latter TO be a nag shield
inscribed with "B Co. Aux" Six new

The auxiliary decided to give anoth-

Day Nursery Taxed
Now TO It's Capacity

That there is a distinct need for a
day nursery in Fargo is proven by the
fact that the institution recently start
ed here is now practically overrun with
children, the daily attendance having
increased in recent weeks until II now
averages seventeen. Working moth
ers from the Jewish district particu-
larly are becoming interested in the
possibilities of the nursery, and are
finding the aid offered by the same to
be invaluable to them.
Many articles are still needed for the
day nursery equipment, and anyone
who can supply any OF them is urgent
ly requested to do so, as the funds are
still quite limited. Among the articles
most needed are an outdoor swing, rub
Der balls, blunt-end scissors, big
spoons for the sand pile, shoes and any
other kind OF clothing for little folks.

irishman Founded British Museum

The British museum had its origin
In an Irishman's bequest. The person
referred to was Sir Hans Sloane, a
celebrated physician and naturalist,
who was born In County Down, Ireland,
April 16, 1860. After receiving thor
ough literary and medical education he
became physician-general to the Brit.
ish army, physician to the king, and
succeeded Sir Isaac Newton as presI.
dent of the Royal society. He spent
several years In the West Indies, was
much interested In the development OF
the American colonies and was an &C.
tive promoter in the settlement of
Georgia. In 1749 he made a will be-
queathing to the nation splendid col.
lection Of books and natural history
specimens which had cost more than
$250,0O0, on condition that the govern
ment pay his family 100000. After his
death, In 1853. an act of parliament
was passed accepting the gift and pro-
yiding quarters for 1t. This was the
beginning Of the great museum.

If any or all of these things are to
blame II Is the part of wisdom to seek
expert advice and begin the remedy
forthwith. To sink into the placid indf-
ference of the fat-and-forty stage is a
crime against your health. II means In
all probability that the liver and kid
neys are oyerworked and the result of
any such strain prolonged is at times
fatal.
There Is another reason which Is
worth almost equal consideration. To
overfeed undermines ones health. Ply
steal fitness has distinct bearing on
mans mental attitude and uniitness
has also. The man who through neg
lect and lack Of control over his appe-
tlte begins to eat himself into I'm early
grave, loses his crispness of thought.
The self-respect which every man who
achieves things should have for him
self as clean well-groomed animal, Is
! lacking.

have unconsciously slipped into this
class. Get busy and work yourself out
