The Habit OF Taking Cold

With many people taking cold is a
habit, but fortunately one that is
easily broken. Take cold sponge
bath every morning when you frst
get out of bed-not ice cold but q
temperature OF about 30 degrees F.
Also sleep with your window up.
DO this and you will seldom take cold.
When you do take cold take Chember-

Some early history of interest to
people Of the Upper Missouri.
In the journal of Capt. Lewis, OF ths
Lewis and Clark expedition Of 1904.
1906 and 1906, there is an interesting
account of the experiences OF the ex-
plorers in the region now known as
the Upper Missouri Slope Fort Man
dan, as located on the map by Capt.
Lewis, must have been situated few
miles west of the present town Of
Washburn. From the journal referred
to we take the following:
November 19.-The Ice continues
to float in the river, the wind high
from the northwest, and weather cold.
Our hunters arrived from their OK
cursions below, and brought in ane
supply of thirty-two deer, eleven elk
and five buffalos. all Of which were
hung in supply houses.
November 2o.-We this day moved
into our huts, which are now complet-
ed. This place. which we call Fort
Mandan, is situated on point Of low
ground on the north side of the Mis-
souri,, covered with tall and heavy
cottonwood. The works consist of
two rows ofshuts or sheds, forming an
angle where they join each other;
each row containing four rooms, Of
fourteen feet square and seven feet
high, with plank ceiling, end the roof
slanting as to form loft above the
rooms, the highest part of which is
eighteen feet above the ground. The
backs of the huts form a wall Of that
height, and opposite the angle the
glace of the wall is supplied by picket
ing. In the area are two rooms for
stores and provisions. The latitude,
by observation, is AZ degrees. 81
minutes, AZ seconds, and the computed
distance from the mouth of the Mis-
souri, is sixteen hundred miles. In the
course of the day several Indians
come down to partake Of our fresh
meat; among the rest, three chiefs
of the second Mandan village. They
informed us that the Sioux, on the
Missouri above the Cheyanne river,
threaten to attack them this winter:
that the Sioux are irritated at the
Ricaras for having made peace with
the Mandans, and have lately illtreat-
ed three Ricaras, who carried the pipe
of peace to them, and taking their
horses away. We gave them assur-
ance that we would protect them
from all their enemies.
November 21-The weather was
this day fine, the river clear OF Ice,
and rising a little. We are now set
tied in our new winter habitatton,
and shall wait with much anxiety the
first return of spring to continue our
journey. The villages near which we
are establishing are five in number,
and are the residence of three dts
tinct nations the Mandans, the
Ahnahaways, and the Minetarees. The
history of the Mandans, as we receive
it from our interpreters and from the
chiefs themselves, and as it is attest
ed by monuments, illustrates, more
than that of any other, the unsteady
movements and the tottering fortunes

TRYING TO PLACE BLAME
FOR STEAMER ACCIDENT
Federal Steamboat Inspection serv-
ice Continues Inquiry Into
Whaleback Dumping Into Dock.

MILWAUKEE,. Wis, July 2.-The fed
eral steamboat inspection service today
continued its investigation to determine
responsibility for the death of at least
fifteen persons and the injury of as many
more which resulted from the fall of a
huge water tank on to the whaleback
steamer Christopher Columbus here last
Saturday when the steamer ran into the
dock upon which the tank was mounted.
Among those examined were officials
Of the Goodrich Transit Co.. owners of
the vessel. offers Of the ship and pas
sengers The hearing is secret and
probably will continue for several days,
after which report will be submitted
to the Department of Commerce
Different versions were given as to the
cause Of the accident. but all agreed that
the primary cause was the exceptionally
strong current sweeping into the MIL
waukee river from the Menominee, due to
recent heavy rains.
Capt Moody said that when the vessel
felt the current he signaled the engine
room to reverse power and that both
tugs pulled in an effort to avert the
collision with the dock.
Another version was that when the cur
rent pushed the boat to the side the tug
knight Templar was directly in front
and in danger Of being run down. To
prevent this. according to this version,
the tug cast off fhe tow lines and the
current quickly showed the big boat
against the stanchions.
The captain OF the tug declined to make
a statement. Still another version, sup
ported by river and lake men. is that
the Christopher Columbus turned to pre-
vent a collision with the freighter North
ern Light. which was proceeding to the
outer harbor.
