CANADIAN SOLDIER

The Canadian soldier is said to be

Red River Valley for Health.

/ There are twenty towns and villages
in the Red River Valley in which not
a single death occurred. during the
past year. Does that man anything to
you? 1t ought to. AT least it ought
to recall to, your mind the fact that
there is no healthier section Of the
United States than the state of Mime
sofa, and no healthier section Of Min
nesota than right here in the Red Ri
yer Valley. There are regions in this
country Of which diseases of one kind
or another seem to be natural products.
There are regions where the air never
seems to be entirely free from con-
tamination Of one sort or another.
But Minnesota is free from all such
troubles. Do you know, you Kittson
county people, that you are living in a
region and district that is second to
none in the country for vigor and
healthfulness? If you don't know that,
wake up and realize it. And when
you have got that far, go still farther
and tell folks about it. mention 1t In
your letters to outsiders. There is
climate enough here to accommodate a
few more comers, and there's no need
of being stingy with it.-Kittson

road being recently grayeled, accounts
for the car turning over the way it did.
