INCIDENCE

It has been said that the crime
which Nature never f0rgets Is in
dolence.. j.. 1t is certain that our
bodies were never planned for idle
ness. Good health is invariably
the result of continued and ra-
tional exercising of both bodies and
minds. Whenever we fail to ex-
ercise them for period of time
they are apt to degenerate. Not
infrequently, owing to the inter-re-
lationship of the various parts of
the complex human machinery, this
results in the impairment of one
part and reflects upon the others.
The complications of modern life
are very apt to force Us into re-
stricted spheres where 1t requires
thought and intelligence to keep
mind and body in good condition.
The normal man or woman is en-
dowed with brain capable of de-
velopment along various lines, To
promote this development along a
single line creates one-sidedness
which may readily become an alb
normality.
There has never before been a
LIuc "ASfu opportunities were NJ
great for those who desire to broad
en- their horizons and to cultivate
interests aside FROM those forced
upon them by particular trades or
occupations. Not to have interest
and occupation in q. world teeming
with opportunities and possibilities,
is to make admission of stupidity
and sloth. Fads of one sort or an-
other may not seem worthy Of COM
parison with the more serious en-
ployments Of life; nevertheless they
may serve those who have been re-
lieved of the necessity of labor and
in lieu of better occupation may
prevent degeneration of mind and
body. To be occupied with 'trifles
is better than not to be occupied at
all.
To devote ones self to tasks
which require concentration and
combined effort OF mind and body,
stimulates rational development
and goes far toward keeping US
sane and healthy.

:: DRAFT EvADER
0bUU ~uUV06UU

Bismarck, N. D., Nov. 29.-Love
for her home land proved stronger
than blood ties with Marie Beck
man, clerk in Lucas department
store here, when she called Adult
ant General Fraser by phone and
advised him. that her cousin, Peter
Oskar, alias Peter Hansen, was
about to leave Bismarck and that
he intended to e1ade the draft and
return to the old country. General
Fraser moved quickly, with the re-
suit that when Hansen arrived to
board No. he walked into the
arms Of Chief Martinson and the
head of North Dakota's military
forces.
Hansen, with his seasman's Dag
and other baggage, was taken to the
police station, and lodged in a cell
to await advices from Port Town
send, WASH, where he was regis
tered last June. Search of Han
sens person revealed a membership
card In the international seamen's
union and other papers made out
in the name of Peter Oskar, and a
seaman's certificate indicating that
he had last shipped from an Aus
tralian port. o..
Hansen or Oskar came. all the
way from Port Townsend to Bis
marck to say goodbye to his cou-
sin, Miss Beckman. Incidentally,
he indicated, 1t Is alleged, that his
sympathies were with the father
land, and that he intended to find
his way back to Germany. He was
born of German, father and Dan
ish mother on the border between
Denmarck and Germany. He
speaks both Danish and German flu
emily, and has the appearance of a
man of culture far above that of
the ordinary seaman.
