A Hard Fall

In Boston a man was showing
a British visitor the sights of the
Hub. They were driving past
Bunker Hill monument Not
wishing to make any pointed
reference to the fact that at one
time we had been fighting with
our cousins, the Boston gentle
man merely indicated the monu-
ment with his thumb and said:
Bunker Hill. "
The Englishman looked at the
hill intently and asked: Who
was Mr.. Bunker and what did
he do to to the hill?"
You don't understand, said
the Bostonian. This is where
Warren fell. "
The Englishmen screwed his
monocle into his eye, leaned back
and, looking at the top of the
towering shaft, remarked inquir-
ingly:
Killed him of course?"- Grit.

WHY OCTOBER is MOST
HEALTHfUL MONTH
Climate and Outdoor Life Largely
Responsible

That October is probably the
most healthful month in the
year and that every body feels
better than usual this month is
generally admitted, but few peo-
pie know why this is true. A re-
cent bulletin from the State
Board of Health explains why
there is less sickness and better
health in Octt Der than in any
other month in the year.
Climate, of course, has much
to do with it," says the bulletin
as cool weather is more energiz-
ing than warm weather, but a
more important reason is a per
sons physical condition at this
time. For six months, people
nave been living in the fresh air.
They have kept all their windows
open, they have lived more on
the porch, and some have slept
out on the porch, they have rid
den and walked more in the open
air, and altogether they have
treated their bodies fair in re-
spect to fresh air and exercise.
Consequently, the good health
that people enjoy in October and
the other fall months is due to
proper living habits with refer
ence, particularly, to fresh air
and outdoor life.
December, January and Feb
ruary can be made almost as
healthful as October, if the same
living habits are observed. 1t is a
motto cable fact that there are no.
epidemics of colds, grippe, and
pneumonia until after the windows
go down and people shut them
selves indoors.

irving here, he joined the United
States army, Fourteenth infantry as
soon as he could. He served four
years and was on the border much
of the time. .>
Il noticed the men closely down
there" he said. "The Americans are
high strung and will do things in a
hurry. They will do splendid feats
of daring at the front and will learn
quickly, once they get into actual
fighting.
THE Hollahders, for instance, are
slower to- start-though they are regu-
lar fools for fighting once they get
going. Fire cannon behind COM
pany of Dutch soldiers and not one
will bat an eye"
But fire one behind an American
company and every man will jump.
This high tension will put life into
the fighting ranks abroad"
Captain Risch's company is one of

The Dandy Sixth" boys were out
at King Ak-Sar-Ben's castle last

They were there because their uni

In fact, some of the boys last night
appeared in the trousers of their civil
Ian days combined with the nifty
brown shirts of their soldier days.
But most of them were clad in their
full uniforms and looked very we'll
indeed.
Other guests of the evening were
citizens of Missouri Valley, Tekamah
and Washington, most of whom came
i'll automobiles.
Soldier and civilian guests alike
were delighted with the great mid
way show. Some got shaves from

heavy weights with the professor.

Police Doubt Suicide
OF Mike JavremoviCh

South Side police are inclined 10 be-
lieve that there may be "a nigger in the
wood pile" in connection with the
death OF Mike Javremovich, who was
totnd dead in the basement of his
soft drink place at 27l7 Q street early
Sunday morning. A gun was lying
beside him and there was bullet hole
in the right side of the head near
the temple. Police at first thought
that 1t was suicide.
Mike RadiSh, who cooked tor
Javremovich and who reported his
death to the police, is being held for
investigation. Officers say that they
think Radish knows more about the
shooting than he is willing to tell.
Radish reported that he had come
home from the home of friends at 6
o'clock Sunday morning. He called
up. the police station at o:45. He said
that he was talking to Javremovich
i'll the soft drink place at n:45 Sat
urday night. John Elko, 2725 Madison
street, was with him at that time.
Some colored people who live near
where the dead man was found, re-
ported to the police that they heard
two shots about midnight Saturday
night.
Jsvremovich was found lying on an
old mattress in the basement OF his
soft drink establishment and three
shots had been fired from the revolver
which was lying beside him.
The dead mans safe will be opened
tomorrow and that may give clue 10
the motive for the shooting.
