Health Means Dollars

Every newspaper of this great country, not only the daily of the big city, but the weekly of the small town. has preached it's sermon on sanitation.
 Columns of space are being continually devoted to concert ed effort of bringing men and women and children into a bet, ter understanding of conditions which contribute to good health, and which will enable all to de velop strong and healthy bodies
 Summer is a season dreaded by men of medicine. It is the season when the human system is weakened and is easily sus- ceptible to the contraction of many ailments of the body.
 The tax on the physical endur, ance of men and plants in sum mer is tremendous.
 When the cool days of autumn come the eye rests on withered fields on burnt gardens, on dus ty roads. on the evidence of de- cay. The scorching sun of sum mer has sapped the vitality of plant life and it taxes the vitality of the human family as well.
 We unconsciously show the ef. feet of the trying days of sum mer. We are cross, nervous, ir- ritable and our energies are atro- ph:ed. Our impulses become sluggish. The enthusiasm of spring has weakened There is only the tepid pulsation of ambi- tion. We feel tired, worn out and generally run down.
 This is why the doctor worries because he is fully cognizant of the fact that the physical consti tuition, in this weakened cond tion, becomes an easy prey oi

the germ. Disease makes short work of the worn out man or woman.
 Health means dollars to the man who works and there are many other reasons why at this particular time we should study the ways of healthy living.
 If we are to succeed in doing our work as it should be done and with credit to ourselves and to our own future interest, we must first of all keep our bodies in shape so that the physical and mental demands made upon us may be acceptably met.
 Too many neglect to care for themselves until it is too late and then the constitution has to be started all over again.
 There will be a long winter to fight through and unless we meet the coming months in phy- sical condition we will feel that we are not capable of doing the work that we should do and which we could do if we had lived carefully and in accordance with the laws of health.

Exit to the Bomb Proof

When Mr. Balfour arrived in London recently on his return from the United States, the city welcomed him in a big meeting with an address and congratula- tions. A striking feature in the news dispatch as it reaches us is the warning that was given to the audience before the meeting began. In case of an air raid, said notice on the program, guests should seek shelter in the crypt beneath the Guildhall and snder the council chamber.
 We can bring this home to our selves by changing slightly the wording of the fire notices in our theatre programs in almost ev cry city of the country. In case of an air raid, walk, do not run, by way of the nearest exit. to the bomb proof cellar" Visitors from the cyclone districts can doubtless be trusted to lead the way.
 We are in little danger. even along our coasts, of air raids-at present, anyhow. But it may be just as we'll for us to put our selves in London's place in this way, occasionally. It's a phase of the war we do not like to think about. But it is one of the phases that show best what we are fighting against.

Arkansas State Council of Defense

Little Rock, August-It is probable that the full war strength of 30O,000 for the Regu lar army will be reached this week. But Capt. N. M. Cartmell. In charge of recruiting ia Ar kansas, has received no orders to discontinue, nor are any such orders expected. On the con. trary, recruiting for the Regu- lar Army is to be pushed as strong as ever, for there will be a constant need for more men to keep the various units up to their maximum strength. For some time, the average number of recruits throughout the coun- try has been about 2,000 daily, aside from the great number en- listing in the Navy, the National Guard and the numerous other branches of the service. Capt Cartmell has been averaging if teen or twenty a day in the Little Rock district, which includes the whole state. During the last few weeks many of the recruits have been men of the selective draft age who realized that they had no exemptions and who prefer red to volunteer rather than be drafted All men of draft age are eligible to volunteer until they are called by their local boards for examination.
 Little Rock, Aug. The Ar kansas State Council of Defense has moved it's office from a Whip pie building to HOS Boyle build ing, Wallace Townsend, newly elected assistant director, is in charge of the office, and is giving the work a great deal of his per sonal attention.
 Little Rock, Aug. A. D, Me. Nair, of the U. s. Agricultural forces. recently made a railroad trip through one of the richest sections of the state. He made a casual survey of the fields he passed, and noted that the farm CTS using one horse blows for the cultivation of their crops outnumber the two>horse blows five to ore. He estimates that if all farmers now using one horse blows would use the two horse cultivators, they would release not less thar 10000 men for oth CT work and would greatly in crease agricultural efficiency.
 Little Rock, Aug.-It is offic ially announced by the Arkansas State Council of Defense, that it has not made any appeal for funds. nor has anyone been au- thorized to solicit funds for the benefit of the council, so far. The Council has made arrangements for the temporary financing of its work, and hopes to work out a plan later for meeting all the requirements or the organization. It has no funds, however, for the aid of the county councils, which are expected to finance them selves.

The acquisitions for coaches is already much greater than the roads are able to supply, and keep all of the regular service up to it's present degree of efficiency.

Little Rock. Aug.-A move ment that has been undertaken by the Wisconsin State Council of Defense, has been brought to the attention of the Arkansas Council. It is known as the Big Brother movement, and it's pur- pose is to secure the pledge of citizens in each community who will undertake to write regular letters to the soldiers to keep them informed of the news at home. By this means, men who would be forced to flight the bat ties of the nation five thousand miles from home. and might never receive a letter. would be enabled to keep in touch with the home land.

BOY DROWNED.

The Manitowoc river gathered in It's
first youthful victim OF 1917 last Satur-
day shortly before noon. William
Anderson, aged s years and months,
while playing with other lads about
the yacht, Gesine, moored below the
John Schuette residence, fell into the
rlN er. The little fellows with him
could give no aid. Grover Herzog
and Reinhardt Pilger after drag
ging the river for two hours re-
covered the body about 20 feet from
where he fell in, He is survived by
his parents, Mr.. and Mrs Andrew
Anderson, three brothers, Lester,
George and Abner, and two sisters, Iva
and Aida Anderson.
The innocent appearing river is in.
satiable in It's demand for young lives.
Its mien is friendly and inviting, lur-
ing into familiarity careless youth, and
1t patiently awaits the opportunity to
clasp the victim in its deadly embrace
Each recurring youthful drowning
shocks the community and the public's
heart went out to this family that face
an empty chair at the ireside.
The funeral was held Tuesday after
noon from st. Paul's Norwegian Lu-
theran church. Rev. o. X. Espeseth,
pastor of the church. conducted the
services and spoke in words of tender
est sympathy and comfort, of Christian
hope and promise. The choir sang
with beauty and sweetness a few ap.
propriate selections. The music was
also sweet and beautiful. The little
form was laid to rest in Evergreen
cemetery,
Death came with friendly care,
The opening bud TO heaven conveyed,
And bade it blossom there.

CIRCUIT COURT NOTES.

The jury in the case of the Bauman
Estate VS.. the Kucera Estate and the
G. & N. w. Ry. Co. retired at 3
o'clock last Thursday afternoon. They
came back into court at 1880 with all
the questions of the special verdict an
swered in favor Of the plaintiff. They
found the speed Of the train which
struck the automobile To have been 20
miles per hour. They found that the
company was guilty of negligence and
that Kucera, the car driver was guilty
of a slight want of ordinary care"
They found that Bauman, a guest in
the automobile was not negligent
They fixed the damages of Theresia
Bauman, aged Ii, sole survivor of the
live people in the car, at $4590 and two
other heirs of Frank l'aumas at $500,
a total of 5000. The answers as made
make it legally possible for judgment
to be rendered against the estate of the
driver, Kucera, as we'll as against the
railway company.
The long calendar faded away until
there were only two jury cases tried,
the Gauger criminal case and this rail
road accident civil action. The
changes IN the calendar this week
were as follows: Schirmeyer VS.. r..
K. A. an action upon fraternal insu =
ance policy was continued. The other
Two actions growing out of the Two
Rivers crossing accident were contin-
ued.
Eickert VS.. Bnsfeld was continued.
The Knapp will case growing out oi
the will OF A. ID. Knapp in favor OF
Fred Winkelman was settled out ol
court. Hanson VS.. Eggers, growing
out of an automobile collision was
continued. The four cases against the
Burger Boat Co. were co.. solldated.
They were continued by the court on
motion upon showing mat A. l.
Nash, one of plaintiffs lawyers, is in
the U. 5. military service and another,
Francis Nash, has gone TO France with
an ambulance corps. Tiff & Broehl,
arising from a claim for commission in

cases Monday morning and is disposiDg
of them this week. The court went 10

large number of criminal cases
awaiting there among them that OF
Peter Eisert, Of School Hill, accused
of appropriating Ford car at Sheboy-
gan. Peter escaped from the authori-
ties twice, once by leaping from a
train and once by feigning acute ap.
pendcitis and being sent to the hospi-
tai. lie was sentenced to year and a
half at the state reformatory.

SCHOOLS AND THE WAR.

A time of national stress, such as we
are entering upon in connection with
the present war, is always a testing of
the state and nation. The state IL
ready TO sacrifice without delay, and
as matter Of course, anything that
the state does nUs look upon as funda-
mental or OF serious consequence; but
that which the country in It's hour Il
stress preserves and safeguards to the
uttermost is the thing that is regarded
as OF the utmost value. Money, the
ties of friendship and the family, even
life, all are valuable; but of far deeper
significance than all these are the in
stitutions of a state. The family, the
church, the schools, the state itself,
are institutions Of the profoundest sig
niicance, and must be preserved at
whatever cost. Why this preamble?
This is the reason:
| have heaad it said, and not exactly
under the breath OF the speaker eth
er, that it may be- we'll to close schoo s
because OF the war. 1t is needless 10
have any fear that such a thing will
happen, no matter how severe within
reason the national strain may become.
But there is some danger that legisla-
tive bodies and school boards may feel
that it is not necessary to keep educa-
tion up to high standard OF efficiency
during the war, and may add, for an
indefinite time after, while the nation
recovering its financial equilibrium.
II the war is of long duration,
heavy financial burden will fall upon
the next generation, and it is highly
important that that generation be as
fully trained as possible to meet that
burden and hold its own in the reor-
ganized industries and commerce of
he world. Nothing is more sholt'
sighted today than the views of some
to the effect that we may, under the
existing circumstances, give the chill
dren in the elementary AID secondary
schools an inferior and degenerate
type OF education thru the instrument
ality Of poorly trained, cheap and in
ferior teachers. Our standards even
now are far below the level that we
could wish.
A policy Of retrenchment In time,
money, and energy spent on the public
schools in England was started as soon
as the war began. Now several hun
dred thousand children OF grammar
school age, 1t is said, are out OF school.
Juvenile delinquency has increased,
child labor is stunting the mental and
physical growth OF children, and the
administrative authorities are begin
ming TO see that their policy has been
suicidal to the future development OF
the nation. 1t is needless TO say we
should avoid all this. II we make any
change it should be in the direction Of
greater efficiency In our elementary
schools. Particularly shonld we make
use OF the present opportunity to in
crease thrift and to develop patriotism.
