Takes a Drink: Loses $115

A man who gave his name as
Charles Christianson, and his home
as Minneapolis, was put off the Num-
ber 10 Great Northern on Monday
night, and arrested on a charge of
disorderly conduct. Train officials
notified officer Ryan to be at the de-
pot to meet the train, and to take
the man to Jail. He wasT given a
hearing before Judge Beise on Tues
day and ordered out of town.
Christianson stated that he had
been working in the harvest fields of
North Dakota, and had boarded the
train at Fargo with $126 in his
pockets. Here he met several other
men whom he took to be harvest
hands also. They offered him a
drink, he said, and he took it. He
soon became exceedingly drunk, and
does not seem to remember that he
attempted to beat up several men on
the train, and to otherwise violate
the peace.
In fact, his next recollection is of
waking up at the Morris Jail and
finding himself with $11 in his
pocket. "And the whiskey tasted
like kerosene too," he said.

Grafton on Tuesday. She was the
wife of Matt Mich, who lives on a
farm 8 miles east of Donnelly.

or even years to develop.
For everyone who wishes to, be
examined for tuberculosis, the Min
nesota Public Health Association and
the State Advisory Commission on
tuberculosis have arranged for tub
erculosis clinics to be held by the
County Public Health Associations.
Since tuberculosis is catching every
one who has been near to the disease
in any way is especially urged to be
examined at these clinics. Where
there has been tuberculosis in fam
lily, all members should be examined.
Thus the early stages may be dis
covered and treatment begun before
it is too late.
Finding the cases is the first step
in the control of tuberculosis. The
clinics reveal very surprising things
very often. People who do not i'm
agine they have anything serious
enough to warrant going to ply
sician, drop in to clinic for curios-
ity or just to get examined ''for
fun:' and the serious painstaking
specialist going over them carefully
sometimes finds quite definite early
beginnings Of the disease; occasion
ally, quite advanced trouble.
"It is hoped that many will. avail
themselves of the opportunity to be
examined"

not hear any noise. When it got

back of the bank 1 found sledge-
hammers, crow bars, pinch bar, pick
axe and some long punches. Then
found that the telephone wire near
the bank had been cut. They had
broken into the blacksmith shop and
into the car house of the railroad and
got all of those tools. We then went
up and down the track and found
that they had cut every wire, both
the telephone wires and the railroad
wires, both north and south of town.

From Devils Lake, N. D., comes

During one of the worst electrical

of the state, bandits last night at

bank of Garske, 16 miles north of
this city, and cut all the wires lead
ing to the town. They were fright

cashier sleeping inside the bank,

their flight"

LARGE ENROLMENT
In PUBLIC SCHOOLS
449 Enter This Fall, 31S in the
Grades, and Ill in the High
School

The enrolment in the public
schools this year is now 449, III in
the high school, and 31S in the
grades. The enrolment in the
grades is divided as follows: Long
fellow school, 105; high school build
ing, 21S.
The entire enrolment in the high
school for last year, including those
who entered in mid-year was 1lO, SO
the increase this year will probably
be quite marked. s#
Ten students have registered for
work in the Normal Department, the
largest class that the school has had
for year, auguring we'll, not only for
the department, but also for the con-
ditions in county schools which have
been SO acute for the last few years,
owing to the shortage Of teachers.

CLINICS TO BE HELD
In MORRIS NEXT MONTH
Polo, the Health Clown at Fair to
Give Preliminary Examina-
tiOnS

When Polo Arc, the health clown,
comes to the fair grounds tomorrow
afternoon, to amuse the youngsters,
and incidentally to weigh and mea-
sure them, he will also be lining up"
candidates for the nutritional clinic
during the first week in October.
All children who were reported as
during last years examination, will
be expected to attend. It may be
that some of these have gained in
weight during the summer so as to be
normal at the present time, and an
examination by Polo tomorrow will
be splendid way to find out.
One nutritional clinic is to be held
in each of the five towns in the coun-
ty during the week, in Donnelly on
Monday, the 3rd, in Chokio on Tues
day, in Hancock on Wednesday, in
Alberta on Thursday, and in Morris
on Friday. They will be conducted
by Children's Specialist sent by the
Northwestern Pediatric Association.
At the same time DR.. Quackenbush
of Otter Tail county is to hold chest
clinic, to which all suspicious cases
found during the year are expected
to report. Everyone may attend this
clinic and be examined free of
charge.
With regard to national and tuber-
culosis clinics, the Minnesota Public
Health Association sends out the fol-
lowing information:
"The greatest object, after all, be-
hind every move in public health
work is the abolition of tuberculosis,
the disease which kills more of our
American people every year than did
the Great War, taking for it's toll,
in tho long run, one person out of
every ten in the United States. The
baby clinics and the nutritional
clinics are ever on the watch out"
to discover cases of tuberculosis in
babies and diseased children. Many
we'll known tuberculosis experts be-
lieve that tuberculosis is always con-
tracted during childhood, and that

later life depend almost entirely on
the state of health built up by the
child. These specialists teach that,
if this tendency to tuberculosis is
found in early life, it can be over
come. To that end, the clinic doct-
ors tell all mothers about the care
and feeding needed to make all chill
dren strong and healthy. Building
, up good health for children is one of
the greatest ways of robbing tub
erculosis of victims. -..
Recent studies of tuberculosis
have shown that tuberculosis infec-
tion occurs also after persons have
grown up. tuberculosis is much like
the other communicable (catching)
diseases, diphtheria or la grippe, for
instance. It is caught from one who
is around you with it. Tuberculosis
is different from diphtheria or la
/ grippe, however, in that it does not
come on suddenly as those diseases
