On Friday afternoon Miss
Marquis, Miss Epler, and the
students from the School of So
cial Economy visited the Nutri-
tion Class held by Miss Mary
Wilson at the Lexington High
School. Miss Wilson has been
employed by the Lexington
Branch of the American Red
Cross to conduct these classes
weekly. About twenty of the
undernourished children of the
schools have been enrolled in
this first class. They have been
taught by the use Of games,
songs, and health stories to fol
low the correct rules of health
so that they may become strong
and healthy. Every week each
child is weighed and measured
and a record is kept of their i'm
provement. Each child keeps a
record during the week of the
food he eats and the health hab-
its he follows so that he can re-
/ port to the class.
Miss Wilson has very win.

we feel sure that the class will
be a success. Miss Carroll, the

MACK SENNETT AT THE VIC.
TORY SUNDAY NIGHT

1t remained for Mack Sennett, the
comedy producer, to show the late
Kaiser. from an entirely different an
gle. In yankee Doodle in Berlin"
which is being shown at the Victory
Theatre Sunday night, both the Kais-
er and the Crown Prince appear as
gay lotharios in pursuit of beautiful
girl. At least they think it is a girl /;
as matter of fact it is an American
aviator in disguise. The girl" vamps
the whole royal family; ensnares both
Won Hindenburg and Won Tirpitz and
finally escapes with valuable war
plans, not to mention a little Belgian
girl who was a prisoner of the Huns.
The play has all the laughs to be ex-
pected from the producer of the Mack
Sennett comedies; also it has some
thrills that bring the audience to its
feet. 1t is played by an unusually
strong cast of Mack Sennett players
headed by Boutwell, Browne, the fe-
male impersonator, Marie Provost,
Ford Sterling and Ben Turpin. ADV.

GLACIER TRAIL WILL
EMPLOY SECRETARY
Route Will Be Shortened Between
Hancock and Benson by Follow
ing Track

The passage of the Babcock
Amendment presents great oppor-
tunity to the Glacier Trail Associa-
ton to make that trail one of the
most important in the state, and the
association is now planning renewed
activity and will ask for cooperation
from the cities and towns along the
route. Eventually the route will be
practically all over hard surfaced
roads, and the association can be of
great value in urging the early COM
pletion of this work.
According to a circular recently
issued by Secretary H. G. Young OF
Willmar, the cooperation of Grant
and Traverse counties has been Sc
cured in designating state road
along the Great Northern from Her
man to Breckenridge, with assurance
of it's improvement and maintain
ance. "This alone" says the secre-
tary, will save travellers from Twin
City to Dakota line probably fifty
miles. The association is now hop
ing for a right of way in Pope coun-
ty. also along the G. N. tracks, that
it may save another six miles. A
majority of the land owners have
given us a free right of way, so as to
connect with the roads in Swift and
Stevens counties, but a couple are
vet to be heard from. If we get this
right of way, as we believe we shall,
we have the assurance of the county
board that they will build, improve
and maintain this road and that the
connecting roads in Stevens and
Swift will be taken care of also, by
their respective authorities. Further;
after investigation this summer by
our officers, it has been deemed ad-
visable to extend the route north of
Breckenridge along the roads thru
Kent, Wolverton and Comstock on tC
Moorhead and there cross into Oak
ota instead of at Breckenridge. That
will now give us the shortest and best
route up and across Minnesota.
"Now we are after the route il
Iowa and Missouri, and then will ge
into Dakota and Montana.
"The officers have been fortunate
in securing the services of B. T
Fuqua of Benson, Minnesota, a MAJ
whose experience along lines of or
ganization make him a valuable as
set as field secretary or representa-
tive. Mr.. Fuqua will first start hi
work in the State of Iowa then worl
thru Missouri. Organizing as h

goes, he will need your support when
he comes to your village or city.
Your village and city will be called
upon to open the purse strings for
the advancement of the Glacier Trail,
that is going to put you on, what
you and we both hope for, a real
route. Those of you who will be Wis
tied by Mr.. Fuqua, we ask to con-
slider those things that will make the
work of organization a pleasure and
that his efforts of getting your sup
port, moral as we'll as financial, may
be accomplished before he sees you"

Roses at Christmas.

The fact that we can get flowers out
Of doors at Christmas time is in itself
sufficient justification for growing
the Christmas rose, but besides that
it is worth growing for itself, says
Country Life in America. It's large
white flowers, fully two inches across,
resembling those Of a giant single
rose, although as matter of fact 1t
belongs to the same family as the but
tercups, never fail to excite enthusi-
asm in the season Of snow and ice.
The plant itself grows only six to
eight inches high, and the large,
greenish-white flowers are borne in
clusters and nestle closely among the
dark green leaves.
