Let Us Not Be Mud Turtles
Let's Have Fresh Air and Plenty of lit Is the Best
Preventive of Influenza

You have noticed that this column talks about
health than craftsmanship about babies than banks
more about eating slowly and chewing well than about the
deep problems of the unknowable.
r. Of all things in the world the most important to the
human race at present HEALTH And this particularly
true now when the Ill health of Government worker lessons
By so much the efficiency of efforts.
Humanity is in its infancy its earliest babyhood, just
beginning know itself just beginning to use its forces like
an infant that crawls.
The important thing to the young child is health
Give the baby health without mental moral training
and all the other things will come later in due time.
Give the human race HEALTH, good food, fresh air,
warmth and the other higher moral possessions will come
later
fading away in the Sums the comic infant that we
call humanity and that has had such hard time this
earth, has any chance for real development.
Il That's why we preach health eternaly putting health
even before education the building of foundation must
come before the building of the house.
Now, dropping theory, here is practical question.
How YOU going to treat your lungs and your blood
this winter?
"The blood is the Hfe" as the wise old rabbs said
And that blood depends absolutely for its quality upon the
air. the oxygen and the mysterious electric forces absorbed
by the blood as it passes through the lungs.
At this of fall many of the inferior animals give
up fresh air for the sake of warmth The turtle and the
Causn themselves Inc muo Dear craWIS 1nLO
his den and the woodchuck curls up with his his
breast
These animals survive BECAUSE THEY GIVE UP
ALL PHYSICAL ACTIVITY, and enter a comatose con-
diton to which feeble circulating blood and imperfect
~ oxygenized blood suffice.
But you Mr. Reader neither catfish, bear, turtle
nor woodchuck
Do not therefore shut off your normal supply oxygen
while trying to keep up the necessary activity for earning
. living.
From on, stores and offices railroad stations,
street cars hotels, boarding housesan receptaces for
poor foolish huanity-are cored up tight and ingenious
l heated to destroy what little oxygen the imprisoned
air may contain.
The worker who can't control his life must suffer to
extent during this stupid period of semsuocaon
But don't do without fresh air ALTOGETHER Leave your
windows open at night protecting yourself from draft
Get hours walk half hours walk, if possible
each day. with lungs thoroughly and purposey dstended
Ride the platform of your car with your neck well
muffled up, if you cannot do any better.
Arrange somehow other get at least two hundred
long slow, deep breaths of fresh air every day.
Don't read this and forget i-Do IT Keep your blood
red keep the tissues of your lungs healthy keep your head
clear.
Don't forget to take your exercise your long, careful
breathing at the proper time and NEVER ON FULL
STOMACH.
you do these things you need give no thought to Span
ish or any other brand of influenza.

BRISTOw ADAMS rises to re-
mark that he does not remember
that he mentioned any special
method of locomotion under Aque-
duct bridge in the old days when
umbrellas were necessary to keep on
the deluges from above. He had a
mental picture Of pleasure parties
in rovboats, when the ladies hoisted
umbrellas 30 keep their summer
finery dry as the boats passed be-
tween the piers. He begs to call to
the attention of my critics that 1t
was then possible to WALK under
the bridge, as it is NOW, between
the towpath and the river, where the
railroad goes along back Of the
present Dempsey boathouse. And it
was Just as wet there as it was any
place else. The aqueduct leaked at
all points, impartially.
The aqueduct was the continue
ton of the Chesapeake and Ohio
canal from the Maryland side Of the
Potomac river over into Virginia,
the deep-water terminal being at
Alexandria Near that town, and
through parts. of the intervening
country, can still be seen the re-
mains of the old canal banks and the
locks. When it was in running Or
der there was the novel sight of
boats passing in the river below, be-
meath other boats in the canal many
feet above.
He says he remembers the final
abandonment of the old canal bridge
and the opening of the new" bridge
in 1887 or whereabouts, when George
town held a notable celebration with
a parade and many interesting in
dustrial floats. Possibly EVERETT
WARNER, the artist, who is repre-
scented in the Corcoran and other
leading galleries, and is now design
ing the navy's camouhage, can re-
member the exact date. He was
there.

Wants $4,000 Damage for Publica-
ton of ''The Widows Story"

F.. B. Lambert, Minot attorney,
has sued John C. Lowe and the Minot
Messenger for $4,000 on account of
the damage he claims was done him
by the publication of '"The Widows
Story" published in the Messenger
upon orders from John C. Lowe at the
time that Lambert was opposing
Judge Leighton for district judge.
Lambert was defeated and blames
"The Widow Story" for his defeat as
we'll as for a great loss to his legal
business which he sustained.
"The Widows Story" was the title
of story published concerning the fl
ing of mortgages given by Fritz Me
hus, in favor of his divorced wife, and
Mr.. Lambert, the claim being that Mr..
Lambert filed his mortgage first, thus
being able to collect it in full, but that
the widow, whose mortgage was filed
second, was able to secure but mere
fraction of what she had coming.
