MALNOURISHED AND UNDER
WEIGHT CHILDREN TO HAVE
BENEFIT OF ADVICE.

Two clinics will be held in Redwood

members of the Northwestern Pedia-
trio society, Drs. 0. A. Groebner and
Geisinger in st. Paul will conduct the
Redwood Falls clinic.
The child's weight for his height
and age is the best index of his gen
eral health For every child of a Ger
weight. Any child who is from seven
to ten pounds below that normal
weight is called malnourished.
Malnutrition has been traced to five
definite causes, which are:
(1) The presence of physical defects
such as adenoids, diseased tonsils and
decayed or abscessed teeth.
(2) Lack of home control, which
should make the child live according
to the rules of health.
(3) Over fatigue-the result of too
much pushing in school and after
school hours.
(4) Not enough rest and sleep.
60 Improper food.
Malnutrition brings lack of vitality
and loss of ambition. 1t often makes
an ill-tempered and lazy child out Of
one who could be cheerful and active
If your boys and girls are below
the standard weight for their height
and age bring them to the Nutritional
Clinic and hear the physician explain
what each particular child must do to
bring up his weight and grow to be
strong and happy.

Wants Change of Venue

Aug. G. Erickson, publisher of the
Springfield Advance Press, has start
ed proceedings for a change of venue
in the suit for damages for malicious
prosecution brought against him by
County Auditor Louis G. Vogel. In his
petition, supported by affidavit, he
contends that it will be impossible for
him to secure a fair and impartial
trial in Brown county on account of
the peculiar feeling engendered dur
ing the World war. The motion for
change of venue will be heard next
Monday by Judge Olsen. Attorney
Alf. w. Mueller will represent Audi
tor Vogel and Attorney Albert Hauser,
of Sleepy Eye, viii appear for Edi-
tor Erickson. The reasons for a
change of venue are sent out in docu-
ments covering one hundred pages.

Law Effects New
BobsIeds Only
ATTORNEY GENERAL SAYS THAT
OLD NARROW SLEDS MAY
BE USED.

The new law relative to the use of
wide guage sleighs as has been pub
lished is somewhat misleading in it's
wording as regards the use of mar
row guage sleighs now owned by in
dividuals. A farmer on taking the
matter up with the Attorney Generals
office of the state received in part the
following reply which clearly states
that narrow guage sleighs now owned
by farmers or others may be used in
the future, but that dealers or others
are not allowed to build or sell the
narrow guage sleds after January /.
next.
"Your letter of the 5th inst. to
Attorney General Clifford l.. Hilton
was duly received at this department.
''The law referred to by you, which
goes into effect January l, 1921 pro-
hibits, after January l, 1921, the use
upon the public highways of the state
all newly purchased on first hand
sleighs, the runners of which measure
less than tour feet six inches from
center to center; after said first day of
January 1921, the owner of sleigh
which was purchased from dealer or
manufacturer prior to that date, or
which has been used prior to January
l, 1921, so as to be second hand and
not new or first hand sleigh, may
lawfully be used upon the highways OF
the state, though the runners thereof
are less than four feet six inches from
center to center. So too, one owning
a second hand sleigh, the runners of
which are less than four feet six
inches from center to center may law
fully sell the same to another and such
purchaser may lawfully use the same
upon the public highways of the state
after said first day of January, 1921
The law does not prohibit the use of
old sleighs, but merely prohibits the
sale of use, after January /, 1921, of
new sleighs the runners of which are
less than four feet six inches from
center to center, the purpose of the
act being to gradually eliminate from
use upon the highways of the state
sleighs of a width less than four feet
six inches from center to center"
Very truly yours,
C. LOUIS WEEKS,
Deputy Attorney General

SUNDAY TRIP ACCOUNTED FOR.

Through the kind invitation of Mr..

and wife made trip to Decaturville
last Sunday, leaving Lexington at
8 o'clock in the morning and getting
back before p. m. Mr.. Hay was
anxious to visit his father, Mr.. Henry

"REMINISCENCES.
Dy ". Y. BARRY.


A country friend asked me few
days ago if / could write anything
about the late Prof. NJ. R. Alternately,
father of Bill and Terry, Of Selmer,
both of whom have had much to do
with affairs of McNairy Co., in recent
years-Bill as Democrat, lawyer,
member of the Legislature and at
present attorney general for that
district, and Terry as a Republican
and Superintendent of the public
schools of that county. Both Bill and
Terry are fine fellows-worthy sons
of their distinguished father, who had
done much for the advancement of ed
ucation in the county of Snake
and, by the way, was told in my
childhood that McNairy was given the
name of Snake" because of the over
abundance of reptiles there in the
days of the early settlers.
Many years ago traveller passing
on horseback through McNairy coun-
ty, asked farmer at whose place he
stopped, why the county was called
Snake" "Well, stranger" said the
farmer, "see that clearing over
there" pointing to nearby field. Up
on the stranger admitting that he
saw the field at which the farmer
pointed, the McNarian continued,
"Well, when | cleared that piece of
land, killed enough snakes on it to
build a ten-rale, stake-a nd-rider
fence around it out of the snakes and
had a good pile left"
But to go back to Professor Matt
Alternately, | do remember something
special about him, which | have told
before but so long ago that it will
perhaps bear repetition. Back in the
century just behind us--which is the
only century can remember except
this, the 20 th-when professor Aber-
nathy was running a paper in Nc
Marry county, he and l got into lit
tie good natured scrap, in print, in
which Prof. Alternately was taking a
stand against and / was favoring
modern practices. Professor Aber-
nathy hated man who parted his
hair in the middle, was opposed to
choir singing in church and generally
contended for perpetution Of the GUS
toms Of his youth, which were passing
away, just as now l am disguised

SOME NICE PREMIUMS.

We have taken over a number Of
fine Tennessee maps and good pocket
books belonging to a former soldier
boy, to dispose of them for him, and
so long as they last will give either a
map or a pocket-book on a subscrip-
ton to The Progress, old or new,
with hte addition of twenty-five
cents, making the total for a years
subscription and one of the premiums,
SIPS. Tennessee people who have
moved West, will enjoy having one Of
these excellent maps, some Of which
also carry q good map Of Kentucky
and all have smaller maps Of the en-
tire world. Five cents additional by
mail.

had never made speech in my life,
but that to my knowledge, Prof. Abb
ernathy had attempted to make at
least one-which one ended most in
gloriously for the orator. Prof. Alb
ernathy was invited to make a
Fourth Of July Grafton at a picnic on
the North side of Purdy and when he
mounted the stand he gradually soar
ed into the blue ether until on the ex-
preston, "My fellow citizens. feel"
he stalled-and never could pull out
Several times he repeated, my fellow
citizens, / feel" and the wanted
words words failing to come, he step
ped down from the stand and in a low
tone, said "like a d-n fool" Sit
ting close to the stand was beauti-
full young lady, Miss Celia Ingram,
with whom the Professor happened to
be violently in love, and as he step
ped down and gave up the ghost, as it
were, she heard his remark and turn
ing to my cousin, Miss Dora Kindel,
(Now Mrs. Dalbey, of Saltillo, Tenn
who sat with her, said, "And he does
not belle his looks" When | told that,
it ended the controversy between
Prof. Alternately and myself, FOR he
admitted to my brother Frank, who
died in Jackson many years ago that |
had given him solar plexus blow
Prof. Alternately was a great and
good man and when he went to his re-
ward many years ago he left to his
several children a heritage of greater
riches than mere money, of which
they are justly proud.

ington- Decaturville road via. Middle
burg, about six miles of brand new
road and the remainder Is the old
Lexington Perryville road and the
pike from Parsons to Decaturville.
We reached Decaturville and the
home of Mr.. Henry Hay in good time
to have long rest before preaching
time-for revival conducted by Rev.
E. R. Roach, pastor of the Decatur
vile Circuit of the NJ. E. Church
South, was in progress. The commo-
dious, comfortable and handsomely
interior finished Southern Methodist
church was comfortably filled and the
Rev. Mr.. Roach delivered talk on
"Why Methodists baptize children, or
dedication of the children to the
Lord in Baptism" The discourse was
Illuminating and interesting, the
preacher at the outset calling atten-
ton to the fact that all Protestant de-
nominations except two or three
teach and practice infant Baptism.
In well connected manner, while on
the subject Of children, the Rev.
Roach made statements we had never
before heard in Protestant pulpit.
Brother Roach is a new man in the
Memphis conference, coming from
Chattanooga and this being his first
year over here. We want to say for
Bro. Roach that, in our judgment, he
is decidedly the ablest preacher we
have ever known on the Decaturville
circuit. His sermon Of last Sunday
would not be out of place in the First
Methodist church Of Memphis or the
larger, better and richer churches Of
other cities. Bro. Roach made the
statement that his circuit this year
will show as concrete results 160 pro-
fessions and reelamations and about
$50 additions to the church. Finan-
cialy, he said his circuit would only be
surpassed by Lexington station in the
Lexington district.
After preaching came dinner in the
home Of Mr.. Henry Hay-and we re
marked that we wished some Of the
fellows boarding in the Hermitage, at
Nashville, the Patton, at Chattanoo-
ga, or the Peabody, at Memphis, at
perhaps $500 per day. could have
laid eyes on and partaken of that

decay which finally resulted in the re-
