REGULAR HABITS.
They Go q Long Way Toward Building
Up Good Health.

They Go q Long Way Toward Building
Up Good Health.
Regular habits for retiring must be
considered as one of the best methods
for securing good sleep.
The human BODY has wonderful
periodicity in, all its spontaneous ac,
tons, and by studying these much OF
the machinery Of health may be made
to work smoothly.
Witness one habit Of waking at q
certain hour to which we have been &C
customed.
Regularity In eating is most impor
tant for health. The digestive tract
will respond at regular times just al
other habits will repeat themselves.
Proper food properly digested will dc
much for ones health and happiness.
It is a mistake to eat too much.
We should try and enjoy our meals
by paying attention to the taste Of
food. Do not gulp it down. 1t should
be masticated and tasted so as to slim
ulate those nerves which reflect theil
sense on the other ner-ss controlling
the glands Of digestion.
When you feel indigestion after eat
ing O meal note the ingredients eater
and should it repeat itself try to con
Wet the guilty food and dismiss it from
your dietary.
Don't make eating a task, but maxi
it a pleasure, so that the food will di
gest and be assimilated and applied t.
the different necessities Of the activi
ties Of life.
Youth demands a greater variety am
quantity of food than does old age am
especially does it require more protein
and meat.
Learning what foodstuffs best suit
one of the great educational tasks ma
has before him, for he no longer ha
the intuition Of the lower animals. Tn
lasxx seem to inherit sense that al
| reefs them what is best for their bod
| wants. The vast majority Of animal
| can differentiate between poisonou
| and nonpoisonous odstuffs-Commis

ORIGINS OF GAMES.
Tennis Is Very Old and Comes From
the Greeks and Romans.

Tennis Is Very Old and Comes From
the Greeks and Romans.
Tennis is perhaps the Oldest of mod
ern games. 1t is said to have original
ed in the ball games of the Greeks and
Romans. The racket was introduced
Turing the fifteenth century in France,
where the game was very popular, and
imported into England about the same
time.
OF the origin of cricket we know but
little. though it was possibly Identical
with the club ball of the fourteenth
century and was first called "handyn
and handoute.'
Bowling greens and alleys We're once
plentiful in London, and Henry Will
made an alley at Whitehall. The earli-
est trace of the game appears in an
old print of about six centuries ago.
Few perhaps know that London's
famous thOroughfare. Pail Mall, deriv-
ed its name from an old pale Mile
court which stood on the site 300 years
ago. This game was a form of GRO
quet.
Golf or "gOff" seems to have made
it's first appearance in the handy bali
of Elizabeth's reign, which was played
with club tipped with horn. Prince
Henry, the son of James l., occasional
ly played at this game, which was
very popular among the young noble
men of his day.
Football became such rage with
the London youths of the fourteenth
century that law was passed to pro-
hibit it being played, as archery-then
an important branch of education,
was becoming thoroughly neglected.

Manv Licenses Issued

Elghty-four marriage licenses
were issued in Stevens county dur
ing the year 1917, as against 70
in 1916 These figures do not indi-
cate that Stevens county young men
put forth any efforts to evade the
draft by the process of getting hook
ed up. Comparing the years of 1917
and 1916 and taking into considera-
tion the growth of the county's pop
u1ation, the weddings were at low
mark. So far this year there has
been no marriage licenses issued.
The last license of the year in this
county was issued to William Henry
Peterson and Sylvia H. Reker, both
of Chokio, that being the 10Th.

County Commissioners Vote Their
Share of Money to Support
County Agent
DONE AS WAR MEASURE
Fedearl Government Recommends
Coutny Agent in Every County
of State

At the meeting of the commission
ers of Stevens county held yesterday
they appropriated the share of the
money to help support county
agent. This was not done however
without considerable thought on
their part, but inasmuch as the Fed
eral Government had recommended
an agent in every county as a war
measure they thought it best to COM
ply with the governments, wishes.
The commissioners here felt that
they wanted to know that the u. S.
Government regarded the appropriat-
ing the $1,000 for a county agent as
a war measure and looked the matter
up first. They had telegram from
Secretary of Agriculture, David F.
Houston, giving first-hand informa-
tion. The telegram reads as follows:
"The last congress as part of war
emergency program provided an ap-
preparation to assist in placing coun-
ty agent in each agricultural county
in United States within present fiscal
year Department in cooperation
with state agricultural college is TAX
ing matter UP with county author
tiles. Since appropriation became
available August tenth, more than
five hundred county agents have been
appointed. There are now about
seventeen hundred agents in United
States. Department hopes that every
agricultural county will have agent
before beginning of next crop pro-
duction year to assist government
in stimulating production, promot-
ing conservation and improving dis
tribution Of farm products and foods
and any other work incident to the
war"
The Public Safety Commission
urged the board to appropriate the
also and with this pressure
the board felt they could hardly do
otherwise. AS soon as the Stevens
County Farm Bureau is organized an
agent will be hired. The required
of farmers has nearly been
made up already to form the bureau.

Few Men Wear Shoes That Fit

Figures from examinations made
by Army and civilian shoe experts at
Army camps show that only about Is
percent of the men wear shoes which
fit properly. Of the several groups
of men examined 28 per cent wore
shoes one-half size short, and = per
cent wore shoes two sizes short.
Reports ascribe the high proper
ton of misfits to the inclination of
men to choose shoes too small, faults
of method and supervision of fitting,
insufficient numbers of larger and
narrower sizes, and incorrect mark
ing of sizes by manufacturers.

NEW COMMISSIONERS
NOW HOLDING OFFICE
First Meeting With Newly Elected
Mayor Present Was Held Tues
day Night

The first meeting of the city Off
cials, at which Mayor Geenty pre-
sided, was held Tuesday night and
at that time E. J. Jones retired as
mayor and J. R. Krueger as commits
sioner. At the election in November
both Mr.. Jones and Mr.. Krueger
asked to be relieved from Office, al
tho it was the wish of the people
that they serve for another term,
and at that time Mr.. Geenty was
and F. e. Ware as commissioners.
Mr.. Geenty had been commissioner
until he resigned to file for the Office
of mayor and his place was filled by

Mr.. Ware who was appointed to fin
ish the un-expired term.
At the meeting Tuesday evening
the commissioners organized and ap-
pointed Mr.. Vaughn as chairman.
They also re-appointed Mr.. Siverts as
City Manager and DR.. Caine, S. J.
Ryan and HI. o. Eames were appoint
ed as the board of health. At the
request of Mr.. Mangan he was re-
lieved as city attorney and P. l..
Spooner was appointed to take his
place.
1t is we'll at this time to make
some mention of the good work done
by the commissioners under the COM
mission form of government and un-
der the leadership of Ex-may-
or E. j. Jones and Ex-Com-
missioner J. R. Krueger. Dur
ing the four years that Mr.. Jones
was mayor the city has been greatly
improved in many ways and put on
a firm financial basis. Many of the
improvements of public interest are
the curbing and guttering of streets,
new sidewalks put in and new streets
laid out. On the east side four
streets have been curbed and guttered
and on the west side two streets; or
in all 27 blocks. When the commits
sion form of government was estab-
lished there was a 20-year bond due
in about four years for $4,000 and
only $500 in the sinking fund with
which to pay it. Now there is
enough so that when the bond is due
August 1st $4,000 can be paid off,
Besides this the waterworks depart
ment has been put on paying fin
ancial basis.
There is every reason to expect
that the city will make good strides
under the guidance of the new Off
cials, as they are all men of business
and we'll capable of
handling the affairs of the city.

Minnesota Naval Militia, but who
were rejected for various reasons
when the call for actual service
came. The pail bearers we're Whit

That Andrew Halseth, the first Be-
midi naval militianan to meet death,
was an excellent seaman, faithful in
the performance of his duties, and
that he always commanded the re-
spect and honor of his officers and
fellow seaman, is the comforting in
formation sent to Hans Halseth, |
father of the dead sailor, by Thomas !
S. Cline, base chaplain of base Sec
tion No. 1, France.
Halseth, by efficient work, won |
rapid advancement in the navy and
his worth caused him to be placed |
among the selected men. He was
promoted to gun captain, in which |
capacity he was serving on the U. S.
S. DeKalb (interned German raider
Prince Eitel Frederick) at the time
of his death. The letter written to
Mr.. Halseth- by Rev. Cline follows:
"You have already been informed !
