A healthy. splendidly functionating
cfrculatory system argues for q good
physique and long life. Since in all
normally constituted bodies the heart
and lungs are intimately associated, II
the lungs are large and strong, the
heart will be of corresponding size
and vigor in order to receive the large
amount of blood which the lungs oxy-
genate. As a rule, too, where the cir
culation Of blood Is strong and rapid
the liver in its action partakes of this
activity and. by its secreting powers,
helps to cleanse and purify the blood.
That Is its function
Vigor Of the circulatory system
tends to produce beauty and strength
both of feature and expression and, by
abnormality, discloses both weakness
OF function and ugliness of feature and
expression. Those born with weak
hearts rarely attain full stature. They
are Handicapped from birth. Very
often the condition is not recognized
Otherwise intelligent parents give lit
tie heed to the evidence of weakness
displayed by their children at an age
when perhaps proper interference and
correct hygiene would overcome the
trouble. No effort is made to learn
wherein the deficiency lies in a back

YOUR WEDDING DAY
And the Famous Men and Women Who
Have Shared 1t.
By MARY MARSHALL.
March 12-Luey Payne Washington
and Justice Todd.

and Justice Todd.
One hundred and six years ago oc-
cured the first White House wedding.
The bride was a widow and the BRIDE
groom was a widower with i've
children.
The bride. Lucy Payne Washington.
was the youngest sister of Dolly Madi-
son. whose husband was then Chief
Executive. Perhaps one Of the chief
charms of the always fascinating
Dolly Madison was her love for the
members of her family. When she
went to Washington as mistress OF
the White House she wanted to share
her many pleasures there with her two
sisters. Mrs. Cults, one of the trio,
followed Mrs. Madison to Washington
when her husband went there in an
official capacity, and Mrs. Steptoe
Washington. the younger sister, went
to live at the White House.
When Lucy Payne was Is she mar
ried George Steptoe washington-more
frequently known as Steptoe WASH
ington, nephew of the first President
And with him she went to live at
Hardwood, Va, not far from Harpers
Ferry. When her older sister, Dolly
Payne Todd, became a widow in 1898.
Mrs. Washington begged her to make
Hardwood her home and 1t was there
in 1874 that the lovely MIS-. Tooo De-
came the wife OF James Madison.
So it was a very fitting thing that Mrs.
Steptoe Washington should join her sister
after she became widowed; and that her
second marriage should take place at her
sisters home.
Justice Todd was q member of the
Supreme Court and he came from the
Kentucky wilds. The wedding, which oc-
CURED in 1911, was as notable an event
in its day as more recent White House
weddings have been, and in spite of the
fact that the bride was q widow well
past 90 preparations Of most elaborate
sort went on for the days before the
event The guests were many and num-
bered everybody whose position in
society warranted such an invitation
The wedding went or with a great deal
Of gayety.
Although neither of the principals Of
this wedding were persons Of very great
Importance the wedding will always Be
remembered because it was the nrst Of
White House weddings, events that
always attract considerable interest
throughout the United States.

WHAT ELECTRICITY CAN DO,

With the cost Of living skyrocketing It
Is comforting to reflect upon the great
purchasing power of just one cent in
electricity
On the basis OF cents per kilowatt-
hour 1 cent will buy electric service to
light a twenty-five watt lamp for i've
hours. to make ten cups of coffee in an
electric coffee pot; to heat milk in a nur-
sery milk-warmer three times; to sew
200, 900 stitches on a motor-driven sew
ing machine and to boil twelve eggs In
an electric hot-water cup.
Electricity Is now regarded as the
cheapest heating, lighting and cooking
means on the market, the cost Of installa-
ton being the chief expense.-Popular

GRAND FORKS AND
CASS COUNTIES IN
FOR HIGHWAY AID
First to Make Proper Application
for Apportionment of State
and Federal Funds

Grand Forks and Cass county, the
only two in the state which made
proper application to the state high
way commission at its meeting Sat
urday, will be the first to receive state
and federal aid for the building Of
roads. Grand Forks asks assistance
in construction Of twenty-five miles,
and Cass with seventeen.
The commission Saturday discussed
the apportiOnment Of the road fund,
but arrived at no definite decision.
There will be available for the whole
year $303, 429, which If distributed
equally over the 3,749 miles included
in the state highway system would
be equivalent to $S8 the mile. 1t is
not probable, however, that an equal
distribution will be made, and it is
likely that the 1,7l2 miles Of primary
highway will be given first considera-
ton. OF the total sun mentioned,
$l52,286 represents federal aid for the
fiscal year beginning July l.
Definite consideration Of the Vari.
GUS problems connected with the ap.
portionment Of the fund will be taken
up at the neXt meeting Of the high.
way commission, to be held ten days
hence.

Teddy's Thief
Costs State q
Lot of Money

When Deputy Sheriff Theodore
Roosevelt Of Billings county arrested
Erward Burnstad in 1886 and brough:
him to Mandan, where Billings jus
tice then was meted out. to stand
trial on a charge OF having stolen
one of Teddy's boats from the Little
Missouri river, he let the great state
of North Dakota, to be born three
years later, in for q whole peck OF
trouble. 'Burnstad was convicted and
sentenced to the territorial peDiten'
tiary. :
Eurnstad was brought here by
Teddy because the prisoner was re-
garded q bad man" and Teddy a
good man to handle bad men. Two
years later 'Burnstad proved his bad
ness by going bugs altogether. and he
was transferred to the state hospital
at Jamestown. Billings was then a.
tached to Morton county for judicial
purposes. When Burnstad showed up
at the jamestown hospital his COM
mitment read from Morton. and his
care was charged to that county be.
ginning with 1907, when the law as,
sessing to counties the cost Of car
ing for the insane was passed.
Just recently Morton county dis
covered that it didn't own Burnstad
at all. 1t therefore reckoned back the
amount 1t had paid for his keep and
deducted from its payment to the
state for other insane the sum OF
}1,3O3.73 3. The state passed the buck
to Billings. but Billings objected on
the ground that since Burnstad was
committed, Slope and Golden Valley
have been sliced from their mother
county and that they should be requir-
ed to pay a share. The state auditor
is Just home from a few days in these
three counties, and he has pro-rated
among them the total expense to
date - $l,524.54, which might have
been saved had Teddy allowed his
prisoner to beat it." Billings is
charged with $928.1S; Golden Valley,
$263.1S, and Slope $433.18.
