Mrs. Martin Brands.

Mrs. Anna Brands of this village
died on Sunday morning, October 4,
at 7 o'clock, after an illness extending
over several months. Death resulted
from arterio- schlerosis. The funeral
services were held in St. Edwards
Catholic church on Tuesday morning,
the Rev. Chas. A. Meyer officiating.
The remains we're taken to Minneap-
oils on Tuesday, where interment took
place in St. Mary's cemetery.
Mrs. Brands was born in the Rhine
province, Germany, May 6, 1856, and
came to America in 1880, settling
down in Fond du Lac, Wis. In 1882
the deceased was married to Martin
Brands in Minneapolis, and they re-
sided there for twelve years. Later
on they moved to Annandale, Wright
county, remaining there until 1900,
when they chose Princeton for their
home. Her husband, Martin; three
sons, Joseph, Portland, Ore; Martin,
jr., and Edward, Minneapolis, and a
brother, Gottfried Geffers, Oshkosh,
Wis.,, survive her. A daughter, Ger
trude, died of influenza early this
spring. tx
The deceased was of quiet, home
loving disposition, and her passing
away occasioned deep sorrow to all
who knew her. Although she was con-
fined to the sickbed almost a year and
realized that only death would end
her sufferings, she displayed during
this trying ordeal wonderful courage
and spirit of resignation that was
an inspiration to all who knew her.
All the children were here when she
passed away.

Bonus Law Ironclad

Confident that the state bonus law
is "ironclad," Adjutant General w. T..
Rhinow and State Treasurer Henry
Rines returned from Chicago yester-
day. State Auditor j. A. o. Preus
will return today. Information on the
best form in which to issue securities
was obtained. "The constitutionality
Of the law may be tested in court, as
often is done in large issues Of securi-

identical was upheld in Massachusetts.
The Minnesota law is 'ironclad.'"

GOVERNMENT GRUB
Postoffice Will Take No More Orders
for Supply of Foodstuffs From
Army Department.
Twenty Four Stores Opened in United
States for Disposal of Sur
plus Commodities.

An order received by Postmaster
Briggs from the postofficc department
dated September 20, but which did not
arrive here until last Saturday, says:
"Inasmuch as all surplus supplies
of the army that have not been dis
posed of up to September Is will be
placed on sale at stores operated under
the jurisdiction of the war depart
ment, through the zone supply officers
of the particular districts, possmasters
are hereby directed to discontinue the
acceptance of orders for army food
stuffs after September rs, 1912"
But how were postmasters to obey
this order when they did not receive
orders until October 4? That is the
question, but it is merely the govern
ment's way of doing business dila-
toriness, redtape and general ineffi-
cheney. AS result orders for army
foodstuffs taken after September Is
will not be filled and the only thing
that can be done is to return the Gus
toners money. Remember, however,
that Mrs. Briggs is entirely blamelcss
in this matter as is shown by the fore
going letter. -.
There is something altogether out
Of joint in the sale of army food
stuffs. Many weeks ago the govern
ment, setting forth that it would
place these commodities on the market
to reduce the high cost of living, in
structed postmasters to receive or
ders leash in advance) for beans, cof-
fee, bacon, etc.. AS result scores of
orders were received by postmasterss
and sent to headquarters, but, where
the rub comes in, is that none of
these goods have been received by
those who ordered them. While we
presume that the stuff will arrive
in the course of unexpectedly during
the next decade-there is no assurance
of this. Postmasters are pestered
every day by people asking when their
order will arrive, but the officials
know no more about the matter than
the questioners. They take the order,
send in the money, and the govern
ment is expected to do the rest-fil1
it's part of the contract. Whether the
fault of the delay lies with Burleson
or the war. department we know not.
They are probably both blamable for
this laxity in business matters.
Advices from Chicago say that tons
of army foodstuffs intended for indi-
vidual consumers have been sold to
wholesalers who derived profit in some
instances Of 100 per cent, and there
is no reason to question the truthful
ness of the information.
Twenty-four retail stores have now
been opened in the United States, one
of which is in St. Paul, and to which
you must send your orders if you
want any of the leftover stuff. The
local postofice will furnish you all
necessary information.

clinics in any way conducted in order
that business" may be thrown in the
way Of any doctor. They are merely
one Of the many signs Of our progress
sive age of the proofs that the
world is growing better-not worse.
It is purely a common sense idea
that if the babies today are given ev-
cry opportunity for healthy bodies
our country Of tomorrow will have a
sturdy race Of citizens. Little defects
that may soon grow quite serious and
permanent defects are easily corrected
in infancy.
These clinics offer splendid oppor-
tunity for mothers to find out, free of
cost, in just what condition of health
their babies are starting life and if
anything needs correcting.
The baby specialist gives each baby
a thorough examination and, aside
from suggesting the proper diet
leaves the doctor Of the parents choice
to. do any prescribing that may be
found necessary.
:. The money obtained from the sale
of Red Cross seals at Christmas time
enables the county association to han
die these clinics. Everyone in the
county should be a member of the
county health association, should lenG
his assistance to this worthy and i'm.
portant cause, for what is of more i'm.
portance to the public than the health
of it's cetizens?
The county association plans to con.
duct the next clinic in tn northern part
of the county, but there will be an.
other held in Princeton sometime dur.
ing the coming year, and it is expected
that there will be at that time much
larger number of babies presented 70,
examination.
The prevalence of whooping cough
kept a good many babies away, but
Dr., Warner pronounced twenty-three
the number examined good num-
Der for first clinic.

THAT BABY CLINIC
Twenty Three Children Submitted to
Examination and Majority is
Pronounced Healthy.
Every Person in the County Should
Become Member of the Pub
lie Health Association.

A small but very successful baby
clinic was held in Princeton last Fri
day under the auspices Of the Mile
Laos County Health association.
The state association has been try
ing for some time to arrange with the
county association for this clinic. It
seemed likely at one time that the
project would have to be altogether
abandoned as it was impossible to
procure suitable place in which tc
hold clinic. A heated building, cen.
trally located, containing several adj
joining rooms and some conveniences
was necessary. This in our busy
crowded village seemed impossible tc
procure. But hearing of the dilemma
DR.. Cooney, with his usual generosity
Offered the use Of his office although
this put him to considerable incon-
venience for the day. He also loaned
the services Of one of his nurses.
The doctors office, with ell it's
equipment, proved an. ideal place both
for the examinations and for the
mothers and babies to- await their
turns. --.....
DR.. Warner, a member of the Pc
diatric society Of the university, had
charge Of the clinic and was assisted
by Miss Christianson of Minneapolis.
Miss Christianson is public health
nurse Of wide experience.
Besides Miss Moore, from the North
western hospital, four members of the
Civic Betterment club assisted during
the day-teking histories, weighing
and otherwise helping to make the ex-
aminations pass off as smoothly as
possible.
DR.. Warner is a baby specialist of
prominence and exhibited his love for
children as well as his skill in hand
ling the little tots.
One case alone which was presented
for the doctors examination was worth
all the trouble and expense of the
clinic. A little fellow of three, whose
parents brought him down from the
central part of the county, was found
to have suffered stroke of infantile
paralysis, apparently during his early
infancy. The state is DESTROYS of get
ting records of all such cases, as help
can be provided for them.
Dr.. Warner pronounces our Prince
ton babies a husky lot of youngsters,
as most of those presented for exami-
nation on Friday Tailed as entirely
normal. And Of the few who were
not just normal, the defect usually
consisted Of overweight, which is OBJ
viously easily corrected.
There seems to be considerable mis-
understanding regarding these clinics.
They are in no way "prize baby con-
tests" and those who assisted on Fri
day were very thankful that such was
not the case, for it would indeed have
been q difficult matter to have chosen
winners" among the contestants
each lad and lassie having his or her
particular charms. Nor are these

place, which is fifteen acres in all, saw the lovely spring, admired the pine trees and the oak trees ana then mother lay in the hammock while cut away some trees to give us bet ter view from the piazza. The piazza is the real feature of the house.. It
 is broad and runs along the whole length and the roof is high near the wall, for it is a continuation of the roof of the house. It was lovely to sit there in the rocking chairs and hear all the birds by daytime and at night the whipporwills and owls and little forest folk.
 Inside the house is just bare wall with one big room below, which is nice now, and will be still nicer when the chimneys are up and there is a fireplace in each end. A rough flight of stairs leads above, where there are two rooms, separated by a passage way. We did everything for our selves, but all the food we had was over to us by the dear Winners, to- gether with milk. We cooked it our selves, so there was no one around the house to bother us at all. As we found that cleaning dishes took up an awful time we only took two meals a day, which was all we wanted. On Saturday evening I friend two chick ems for dinner, while mother boiled hhe tea, and we had cherries and wild strawberries, as we'll as biscuits and corn bread. To my pleasure mother greatlyenjoyed the fried chicken and admitted that what you children had said of the way I fried chicken was all true. In the evening we sat out q long time on the piazza, and then read indoors and then wetn to bed. Sunday morning we did not get up un til g. Then I fried mother some beef steak and two eegs in two frying pans and she liked them both very much. We went to church at the dear little church where the Winners father and mother had been married, dined soon after two at Plain Dealing,' and then were driven over to the station

 That was good mark in Latin, and I am pleased with your steady i'm provement in it.
 Skip is householder, but he is like a real little Indian. He can stand any amount of hard work if there is d bear or bobcat ahead, but now that he is in the White House he thinks he would much rather do nothing but sit about all day with his friends and threatens to turn into a lapdog. But when we get him to Oyster Bay think Ee can make him go out riding with us, and then think he will be with Archie great deal. He and Jack are rather jealous Of one another. He is very cunning and friendly. alli.li. ensely pleased with mothers Virginia cottage aHG itsn anne. I Hm going down Cthete for Sunday with her sometime soon.

ROOSEVELT AND HIS CHILDREN
 In the spring of 1905, the rigorous antitrust crusade of the Roosevelt ad- ministration was in full swing. Thirty packers were indicted. They appealed in vain to the president for lenience. The Morocco dispute was at this time bringing Germany and France to the brink of war. Great Britain was aligned with France and. the sympa- thy, if not the open allegiance of the United States with Germanys poten- tial foes, was exPected.-The Editor

to go back to Washington. I rode the big stallion-Chief-a enjoyed it thoroughly. Altogether We had very nice holiday.
 I was lucky to be able to get It, for during the past fortnight and indeed for a considerable time before, have been carrying on negotiations with both Russia and Japan, together with Germany, France and England to try to get the present war stopped. With infinite labor and by the exercise of a good deal of tact and judgment-if do say it myself-I have finally gotten the Japanese and Russians to agree to meet and discuss the terms of peace. Whether they will be able to come to an agreement or not I cant say. But it is worth while to have
Bisbee daily review., 1919-12-21

obtained the chance of peace, and the only possible way 10 get this chance was to secure such an agreement of the two powers that they would meet and discuss the terms direct. Of course Japan will wan tc ask more than she ought to ask. and Russia to give less than she ought to give. Per haps both sides will prove impracti- cable. Perhaps one will. But there is the chance that they will prove sen. sible, and make peace, which will really be for the interest of each as things are now. At any rate the eX- pertinent was worth trying. I have kept the secret very successfully, and my' dealings with the Japanese in par ticular have been known to no one, so that the result is in the nature of surprise.
