Beautiful Spirit of Patriotism and Loving Kindness Shown by Mrs. w. H. Kettig in Generous Contribution to the Red Cross of Christmas Packets for Soldier Boys
 GAN APPRECIATION

these Christmas packets bit Of her own beautiful personality, and I cannot help feeling that when those 90 boys receive those beautiful gifts on Christmas day in the morning that they will in some way feel and realize the gentle person. ality of the generous donor, and a. though they have never seen or known her, they will love her as a new found friend-somebody who cared, and told them so in this beautiful way.
 And when I mentioned that nobody had done such wolicerfuf thing, and nobody had been so generous, and mo- body had been so self-sacrificing, all that this sweet woman said (and every friend she has will agree with me that the expression is the keynote to her beautiful character) was:
 T enjoyed making the little Christmas packets, and l hope they will make some soldier boy happy at Christmas-tide!"

 All the Christmas packets are tied up with red, white and blue flags and gaiiy colored red and green ribbons, typical Of the Christmas season, with sprays of mistletoe and holly daintily interwoven.

One solid carload of Sears & Roe
buck catalogues were recently trans
ferred FROM box car at Mandan
and mailed through the N[andan
postoffice to towns within the first
and second parcel post zone from
there. The Mandan Pioneer esti-
mates the cost of printing this car
load Of catalogues at s2O,OOO.OO
and the postage is several thousand
dollars additional. Bellas- Hess
Company, a New York concern
specializing in cheap ladies ready
to-wear coats and gowns, distribute
ed a carload Of catalogues through
the jamestown postoffice in the
same manner a few weeks ago.
While no figures are at hand, it is
safe to assume that the eastern mail
order concerns spend over 500, 900
i'll the western half Of the state
every year for advertising, and their
business in North Dakota must run
into the million mark annually.
Most of this business could be kept
within the state if the merchants of
North Dakota would fight the mail
order houses with their own wea-
pon-advertising.

is quite an improvement over the

as a saving of time and energy that

the best newspaper and job print

Fight Measles Now M. U, Doctor Urges.

COLUMBIA, Mo-, Oct. 29.Now is the
time to he on the alert against
measles, according to DR.. O. r. Brad
ford, preventive medicine expert of
the University Of Missouri. Spring is
the season OF greatest prevalency of
measles, says Doctor Bradford, but by
combating the disease in the fail and
winter, spring epidemics may be pre-
vented.
Ii is common error to consider
measles tritling disease. AS a mat
ter OF fact, the percentage OF mortal
ity in measles is not high. 1t is often
a disease without special danger,
nevertheless, there is certain per-
centage of death to be expected, and
it is SO widespread that the total
mortality is high. In 1916 more than
II, 900 children died in the United
States from this disease--a greater
number Of deaths than was caused by
either diphtheria or scarlet fever, both
of which are dreaded by ALL Case for
case, diphtheria and scarlet fever are
more fatal than measles, but in an
aggregate, neither Of them kill as
many children rs measles does.
Measles is catching during the
early stages when the nose is running
and the eyes watering. 1t continues
to be catching until the eruption has
been out for about SO hours. After
this, it is not dangerous to others. 1t
is important to exclude from school
all children in early stages of
measles. A "light case" in one child
may produce fatal case in the next
child, therefore, mild cases should be
watched just as careful as the more
severe ones.
Measles is the most difficult of all
diseases to control by quarantine, and
requires more care to prevent its
spread. The germ has not been dis.
covered, but is known to be the
secretion Of the upper respiratory
tract, and can be demonstrated In the
blood for time, but disappears with.
in 36 hours after eruption comes out.
1t il spread by direct contact, and
through sneezing, coughing, splitting,
etc.

Why the Bonds are Delayed.


Purchasers OF the first issue of
Liberty bonds, the most OF whom
have not yet seen anything resem-
bling a bond, are wondering why
there is so much delay. The delay,
as explained by bankers, is due to the
immense burden Of work falling on
the Bureau of Engraving and Print
ing. 1t Is requiring the labor Of
5000 people to prepare the million
pieces of paper which make up the
issue. Stacked in single pile, they
would reach height of two miles
Some Of the bonds are now ready and
have been distributed, but there will
be more delay simply because the
government, working day and night,
cannot finish the work sooner. That
being the situation, there Is nobody
to blame, and, after oil, nobody is
losing anything.

A Worthy Ally Of the Kaiser.
lst. Insenh Dhserycrl

k~t. JIntHl obNtINti3 .
It is almost pity that old Cotton
Mather is not living now, for he would
really be suitable aly--the only one
we can imagne-lor the Kaiser.
| That bitter old pre- revolutionary
intolerant would have proven most
splendid ally for his mind ran in the
same channel as the Kaiser. An old
letter of his written in 1852 which
has been unearthed was read at a
Hoover banquet in Washington the
other night and has for its subject the
proposed "doing away" with of Quak-
er William Penn and his "angodly
crew." Here is the letter:
"September Ye Is, 1852.
"To Ye aged and beloved Mr.. John
Higginson; There is now at sea a
ship called the 'Welcome,' which has
on board an hundred or more of the
heretics and milignants called Quak-
ers, with w. Penn, who is the chief
scamp, at the head Of them
"The general court has accordingly
given secret orders to Master Malachi
Huscott of the brig 'Porpoise' to way
| lay the said welcome slyly, as near
the Cape of Cod as may be. and make
| captive the said Penn and his ungodty
| crew, so that the Lord may be glori-
| fed and not Knocked on the soil OF this
new country with the heathen wor-
ship of these people. Much spoil can
| tn do hue pn11iy,fg thn ythn]p Inf n
Barbados, where slaves fetch good
prices in rum and sugar, and we shall
not only do the Lord great service by
Furnishing the wicked, but we shall
make great good for his minister and
people.
"Master Huscott feels hopeful, and
| will set down the news when the
ship comes back.
"Yours in ye bowels of Christ,
'tCOTTON MATHER."
Now would old Cotton Mather not
have made just the best kind OF a
strong right arm and a spiritual
brother for the Kaiser?
Make captive the ungodly crew, sell
them into slavery for sugar and rum,
thus doing the Lord great service
and incidentally helping out his chosen
people-~to wit, ourselves! "Iours in
We bowels of Christi"
There is no reason to doubt that the
old fanatic believed it, too. The Lord
was his partner and "Slay for the
Lords sake' his motto. Whoever re-
fused to believe as he believed was ac-
cursed, and slavery was mild punish
rent for the crime. Whoever stood
in the way of advancementan and power
of his people and his creed was a
"milignant" and should not be allow
ed to cumber the earth.
The country was well filed with
people like old Cotton in his day, and
they called themselves Christians and
profoundly believed they were Chris
tians-the anointed and armed
ministers OF God on earth just as the
Kaiser does. In nearly every country
in Europe they were killing each 9TH
er, hateinIiy and viudictively, $50
that the Lord may be glorfied and
not mocked." In the name of
Righteousness they burned each other
at the stake. And the only fault it
was necessary to attribute to the vic
tim was that he was a hereto his
"doXy" was different from the
executioner's doxy.
