Now if some of our people would
spend a little less time reading about
our slow war preparation and little
more in carrying their own bundles,
a lot of men would be released to help
on the war work.

HOW TO BEAT PNEUMONIA.

Those who would avoid pneumonia
are admonished to live regularly"
that is to eschew all irregular hours
and habits. One must not overeat and
what he does eat should be whole
some well cooked foods. He should
not drink to excess, escheWing alco-
holic liquors altogether and using tea
and coffee with moderation He
should see to it that he gets plenty of
sleep and also in we'll ventilated
rooms. Cleanliness is another ingre-
dent and that includes bathing. 1t
is well also to take plenty of exercise
and there is no exercise that is so
good preventative as a two-mile
walk-make it miles if possible
each day with head erect and air TAX
en- into the lungs in the form of sound
breathing. If these directions are fol-
lowed, we are told, there is at least
much less danger of contracting the
dangerous disease, or OF being able to
throw off the germs that may happen
to meet you somewhere.-Cedar Rap

Hiah P.iles Then, Too.

Some one has dug up an invoice
of bill of goods sold by firm of
wholesale grocers of Keokuk, Iowa,
in June, 1862. which shows that
sugar was $58 q barrel and rice
SIS, while tea sold at SOL for a
twenty-five pound chest. Coffee was
four times the present price AID the
same bill of groceries which then
brought $644.l4 could be purchas-
ed today for $291.61. Those were
the days of the Civil war, which ac-
counts for the soaring prices Nova
days when people kick over paying 3
or 10 cents a pound for sugar and
moderate sums fer tea and coffee,
they may find consolation in know
ing that their grandparents were in
much worse plight Compared with
the most of the world, the United
States Is standing the stress and
strain of the present war with COM
paratiyely little discomfort.

LUTHER DEFEATS CARLETON.
Fast Team From Mortified Lost to
Luther Friday Night by Sco2c
81 to IL.

Those who defied the weather and
attended the Carleton-Luther game
last FRIDAY were we'll repaid for their
bravery. The game was one Of the
best exhibitions of basket hall ever
witnessed in DEBORAH. Although Lu-
Their led throughout, the game was
anybody's until the final bell rang.
This game is likely to have an impor-
tant hearing on the final standing Of
the teams in the Dakota-Minnesota
conference, since these teams were
the only two which last year were
not defeated Both teams are starting
out strong this year also:
The game started off with rush,
Carleton having the edge on Luther
in weight and experience, but from
the very beginning it was evident that
the score would be close. Natvig out
jumped his tall opponent and Luther
took the ball. BY using short and
snappy passes they gradually advanc-
ed the ball towards their basket and
after few minutes of play, Natvlg
Gagged a basket. Both teams used the
defensive style of play. Luther soon
increased her lead by two free
throws, after which Larson aid Nat
Wig each Gagged basket. Shortly be-
fore the whistle blew Carleton scored
through field goal by Johnson.
In the second half, Carleton shift
ed her lineup, Holland replacing
Jaaey, and Godfrey being substituted
for Johnson. In this half Cartoons
offensive work improved and Rolfe
soon Gagged a basket. Street added
another point by a free throw. Lar
son began to try long shots, but these
were unsuccessful. However, by US
ing short passes and short shots the
visitors made three more field goals,
while Natvig secured Luther's only
other field goal. The game ended with
the score II to II in Luther's favor.
The individual stars of the game
were Rolfe for Carleton, and Larson
AID Natvig for Luther. However, all
the players fought hard and their
work was above the average display
ed in college games. This is the first
time these teams have met since 1914
when Carleton won at Mortified IL
to 9. Luther plays Carleton again on
their home floor, February 20.
Another big game is il store for
basket ball fans February |, when ST.
lOlaf comes here. st. Olaf is as strong
as usual and this game will be as
hard fought as any game in the past.
