GOT TOO MUCH NURSING.

Had Soma Comfort.

Then the Wounded Man Rebelled and
Had Some Comfort.
There was no Red Cross In the old
days, and women nurses were not ad.
mitted to the field hospitals. but wo-
men were frequent visitors to the sta
tionary army hospitals In the cities,
bringing food delicacies and always
anxious to assist In relieving the suf.
ferings of their sick or wounded heroes.
James Morris Morgan In his reminis-
cences OF the Lost Cause" relates a
story incident to his visit TO Rich
mond war hospital TO see his friend,
Captain F. w. Dawson, who was very
seriously wounded. The day was hot
and he found his friend lying on cot
near the open front door so weak that
he could not speak above a whisper.
The poor fellow whispered in his ear.
Jimmie. for mercy's sake make them
move my cot to the back of the build
ing"
Morgan assured him that he had been
placed I'm the choicest place In the hos
pital, so that he could get any little air
that might be stirring, but he still in
sisted that he wanted to be moved, CIV
ing as reason that every lady who en-
tered the place washed his face and fed
him with meat jelly. The result was
that his face felt sore and he was
stuffed so full of Jelly that he was most
uncomfortable. AS be was so weak
that he could not defend himself, the
women would not listen to his protests.
At Morris request the head surgeon
pinned notice on Dawson's sheet to
this effect: This man must be washed
and fed only by the regular nurses"

CURRENT COMMENT

As state food administrator, James
Hartness has a real job on his hands. The
problem of bringing producer and con-
sumner together and thus preventing food
waste is fully as great in state like
Vermont, where communication facili-
ties are limited, as it is in larger and
more thickly settled communities. How
ever, Mr.. Hartness has reputation az
an organizer of more than usual ability,
and his grasp of the food problem may
be depended upon to be intelligent

Drapoons.

Dragons used to be armed with a
short musket which spouted out fire %
eercely when the trigger was pulled
that it was called n dragon" after
the fabulous beast whose breath is fire.
So well established did this name be.
come for this frearm that a dragon
was engraved on the barrel and the
men who used this particular weapon
were called dragons"

OUR PHYSICAL HEALTH.
This Critic Claims We Are Only Halt
Living and Working.

This Critic Claims We Are Only Hall
Living and Working.
That the average man and woman In
the United States today is only half
living and is not doing half of the work
nor getting half of the Joy from work
and life that the human being is orpa-
BILE of getting is the opinion OF Dr. IT.
wing Fisher of Yale university, the
great student and authority on eco
nomic health conditions. In recent
study that he has made of rural health
and national well being he finds that
only something like i per cent OF peo-
Pile are really well and free from i'm
pairment.
Interpreting this low state Of phys
ical health in terms Of what 1t means
to the individual, the writer says, ut
means that We are losing large part
of our rightful life not only by death
itself, which cuts Off many years We
might have lived, but also from dis
ease and liabilities which are not ia
tai, but which cripple the power to
work and mar the Joy Of living
AS to what this state Of physical In
efficiency means to the producing pow
er of this country, the writer again
says: I'VE may assume that on the ay-
erage for every death per annum there
are two persons sick during the year.
This makes about 100000 people con-
stantly lying on sick beds in the United
States, of which on the most conserva-
tive estimate at least half need not
have been there. IL we translate these
preyentable losses into commercial
terms we find that even by the most
reckoning this country is
losing over $1,500,00O.000 worth Of
wealth producing power every year.
Personally" says Professor Fisher.
II believe 1t can be shown that the
chief cause Of this degeneration is the
neglect OF individual hygiene, partly
from ignorance, partly from indifrer-
ence, partly from sheer helplessness.
The degeneration Of our bodies follows
a degeneration of our habits. The cure
for the degenerative disease is more
personal hygiene-more scientific habits
of daily living"

The law requiring all teams to carry
lights after nightfall is not very old as
yet, but it is old enough so that prose

1t should be distinctly noticed by ex-
emption boards in this, the first draft,
that President Wilson mentioned lenien-

not plain married men in his recent let

boards will only have their work to do
over again in later drafts

The tables are turned. Not so long

posal made by the Vatican and his re-
Spouse promises to be that of the whole

ment Is made today that the annual

termakers will be held in this city
January 1917 at the same time as the

Realizing that the two associations
are vitality interested in the work of

the State Dairymen's Association, and
Leonard Houske Of Halstad secretary
Of the Red River Valley Buttermaker's
Association, are expected to meet here
shortly with the officers of the Com
mercial club to work out the program
and other details in connection with
the conventions. @
A banquet will be served to the visit
ing delegates one of the evenings, and
other attractive features will be put on
so that the joint meeting will be the
largest and best ever held by either or

The business meetings will be held
