There are many models back Of

that he himself was one Of the great.
est men In Denmark. TO prove this,
he often appeared In entire suits OF
white satin. He called himself d poet,
but could find poetical inspirati ON only
in the wilderness or in desolate, dreary
spots. He once went to Crete to write,
he said, great drama Of tragedy. He
returned, however, without iayirg acs

that he could feel tragic emotion only
in the mountains, and lived In self
delusion and illusion.
Some Of his characteristics have
passed in "Peer Gynt." Otherwise
'Peer Gynt" is supposed to be an In
carnation of Norwegian foibles. Peers
lies are not really faIsehoods, if this
implies the intention to deceive others.
They are rather self-deceptions. Peer

Cervantes' "Don Quixote." /" and is more
closely related to Daudet's ''Tartarin.'

FREE SERUM READY.

Typhoid vaccine manufactured by
the State Health Laboratory at the
U niversity of South Dakota is ready
for distribution through the physicians
of the State of South Dakota to whom
it will be supplied free of charge.
DR.. Mortimer Herzberg advises the
use of this vaccine wherever the
likelihood of typhoid infection exists.
South Dakota is among the first
states to give it's citizens typhoid
vaccine service. The manufacture of
the vaccine at the South Dakota State
Health Laboratory was undertaken
after Doctor Herzberg inspected the
health department work done in New
York, Philadelphia, Chicago and
other larger centers of population in
the east.

EFFECT OF WIND ON SOUND
Differences in Strength OF Wind 10
What Prevents the Spread
Of Sound.

One Of the government scientists
gives an interesting explanation Of the
action of the wind in preventing the
spread of sound.
1t is. he claims, not the wind, as
such, that prevents sound from trav-
cling against it, but differences in the
strength of the wind. If, for instance,
the wind is stronger at one side, it's
effect will be to tilt the sound waves
in one direction or another. Differ
ences Of temperature in the air also
cause DETECTION Of the waves Of sound.
Other atmospheric causes exist which
defect sound from q straight course
and prevent it from going as far in a
certain direction as it may have been
expected to go.
Some Of the sirens in this country,
says this scientist, produce sounds
which ought theoretically to be audi.
Bile at distance Of 1900 miles, but, in
fact, the authorities are satisfied II
they are heard only two miles away.
The reason for the discrepancy be-
tween calculation and experiment was
probably atmospheric DETECTION Of the
sound.

EDITORIAL COMMENT

The Argus Leader publishes set Of
resolutions passed by the German
Alliance of Blue Earth county, MINI.
The resolutions profess firm loyalty
to this government, but in opposing
any hostilities toward Germany they
reveal q prejudice. that is very un-
American. They say:
It is purely as American citizens
who have ut heart the well being and
happiness of one hundred million
fellow citizens that we express the
firm belief that it is not necessary to
grasp our arms, that we shall secure
ample redress aad justice without
recourse to war.
To argue that "any ample redress
or justice" is possible to compensate
for the murder Of our citizens is idle
talk. The only time to stop murder
is before it is committed, for there
can be no ample redress made after
it is committed. Diplomacy has
already been overworked in an effort
to stop this murder and still it goes
on. To permit this state Of affairs
to continue is to acknowledge that
American lives are mere pawns to be
sacrificed at will to suit the convent
ence Of any foreign power, and that
we are ready to sell the lives Of our
citizens for q money consideration.
Once let this principle become estab-
iished and American lives would soon
become the cheapest product in the
worlds market.

Heioht Of ! Camera.

A safe rule In most cases, is to
have the camera at such height
that the lens is about level with the
eyes Of a person of average height,
standing. This implies that most tri-
pod stands, all ultra portable ones, are
too short in the leg, as even those
which allow the camera to be at this
height only do SO when the feet are
so near together that the stand IL
unstable. With lenses Of short focus
it is usually advantageous, especially
in interior work, to have the camera
lower, while with very long focus
lenses 1t may be higher to avoid a
foreshortening of the ground. In the
case Of domestic interiors. 1t Is irn-
portant to have the lens well above
the level of a table top, us the effect
OF the furniture seen from a lower
viewpoint will be unsatisfactory.

Liaht Cures Disease.

When rays Of light fall upon the
skin Of our bodies, which is translucent,
the greater part of them are arrested.
some by one layer Of the skin, some
by another, and still others are not
stopped until they have penetrated
the subcutaneous tissues. This arrest
of the light rays produces radiant
heat. which has a higher penetrating
power than convection heat as gener-
ated by hot water bag or poultice,
for instance. Prof. e. G. Titus of Eng
land, in an address has stated that
such heat penetrates two inches or
aaore, while convection heat is excited
Principally on the s,srface. This is
Why electric light baths and sun baths
are so stimulating to the organs Of
elimination.

Unrelated Potatoes.

Sweet potatoes have not much in
common botanically with their more
familiar namesakes. They have long
been cultivated as food in tropical and
subtropical countries, and were actu-
ally introduced into England at an
earlier date than the common potato.
The two tubers' were often confound-
ed by writer's Of the sixteenth and
seventeenth centuries, but the sweet
potato won more popularity than it's
rival. STEPPED in wine or made into
a sweetmeat, it was regarded as an
excellent invigorator. Sweetish and
agreeable to the taste, its fesh-form-
Ing qualities are considered equal at
least to those Of the common potato.

Deadwood Daily Call-The most
startling and direct statement regard
ing the food conditions in Germany
that has reached this or any other
part of the country came this week to
Deadwood with letter from the In
terror of Germany. The information
it contained could never have passed
the censor had it not been concealed
in a manner which only chance
brought to light when the letter
reached here. The letter came to
Q we'll known Deadwood business man
whose sister and her family live in
Germany. The woman's husband is
in the army supposedly fighting on
the western front. The letter itself
spoke of common place affairs but
whatever expressions Of confidence
there were In it seemed to be forced.
For one who knew the writer inti-
mately, such as her brother, it was
possible to read between the lines a
suggestion of grief and apprehension.
This phase of the letter preyed upon
the mind of the Deadwood brother
and he became obsessed with the feel
ing that his sister was trying to con-
vey to him something which she knew
the censor would not pass. At last
the possibility of something having
been written under the stamp occurr-
ed to him and he acted Immediately.
He steamed off the stamp and
beneath it were written the words
We are stavring." The hopeless
ness of the situation is its worst fea-
ture. The man, who is in most COM
Portable circumstances himself, real
ICES that his sister and her children
are in dire distress, that death by
starvation confronts them and still he
is absolutely powerless to give them
the slightest assistance.

SUNS AND WORLDS IN MAKING
Astronomers Admitted TO ''Norkshop
Of the Universe" to View Won
ders Therein.

We look today on the things Of a
century, millennium, ago. Light trav-
cling ut the rnte of 1SS,3OO miles d
second requires more than four years
to come from the nearest star, perhaps
thousands and tens Of thousands Of
years from the farthest. Hence In
every case we see not what is, but
what was.
Thousands of nebulae have been dis
covered in the heavens. The spiral
pattern of some few nebulae has long
been confirmation Of the theory TINT
they are the real beginners, of a solar
system. But there has recently come
In much evidence of the spiral charslc-
ter Of other nebulae, that the conclu-
sion seems forced upon us that practi-
cally all are in a state Of rotation. and
are hence supplying the centrifugal
force to throw OFF the rings which roll
about central suns.
When opportunity is given to look
directly down upon q nebulae there re-
suits startling evidence of its being
in rotation. There Is no other way of
explaining It's remarkable details OF
structure. Some look like the propel-
Ter blades of a motorboat; some are ac-
tually caught in the act of throwing off
rings, which are seen condensing ut
certain centers, rolling themselves into
planets, henceforth to travel around
their suns. The great nebulae In An
dromeda gives striking evidence that it
is working out another and greater
solar system than our own.
In short, 1t seems that Id studying
the nebulae we are being admitted to
the very workshop of the universe, and
are permitted to watch the actual pro-
! cess Of turning out worlds. Nothing
in the heavens Is better fitted to ill the
very soul with awe. AS in the case of
the fixed stars" our lives are too
brief, too feeble our eyes, to detect the
actual motion.-Frederick Campbells

before war was declared in Europe,

powers an employ all Of its resources
to bring the government of Germany
to terms and end the war. Identical
resolutions covering the requests OF
