HIGHWAY COMMISSION GETS
COVETED APPROPRIATION
Bids Called For on Twenty-seven
Winter Road Building
Projects.

Bids have been called for by Com
missioner Charles M Babcock for work
to be done during the winter on State
Highway. Mr.. Babcock has been very
anxious to get his project started for a
double reason, to forward the improve
rnent of the state highways and to fur
nish employment for those who at the
present time are feeling the pinch OF
necessity because of the lack of work
Of any kind. Il
s tt is now possible to go ahead with
this work because Senate has PASSED
the: seyenty-fvei million dollar good
roads bill which provides for an appro.
priation Of six million for Minnesota
roads. The call for bids made BY
Mr.. Babcoek will include twenty. sever
winter projects at an estimated cost
Of $1,687, 900.
|;a The plan is Of particular interest t.
this section. of the state because the
highwater road, across the Minnesota
will probably become an actually in
stead Of a dream. It is expected thai
this particular piece Of road will b.
taken in hand and pushed thru undel
the new provisions Of the highway laws

TRIP TO THE BALKANS.

Glimpses OF. the Balkans is the
title of a remarkable scenic picture of
the beautiful Balkan states, filmed by
the American Red Cross which is to
be shown at the Crystal Theater here,

The first views show the island city
Of Corbu from an airplane, and the
garden Of the former kaiser's Winter
Palace, with its wonderful landscape
and statue effects. The home Of the
rich in Montenegro, where wealth is
measured in. herds Of goats, and the
poor who live in caves with their meag-
er possessions, are both shown. Init
mate pictures Of King Boris Of Bull
.garia, and unusual exterior and in
terror scenes Of the famous monastery
of Riolo, with it devotees at prayer;
the ancient Cathedral Of Athens, and
the Acropolisl ii its present-day STATE
of preservation are among the othel
interesting features shown. The
American Red Gross has contributed
greatly to sathe reconstruction Of thest
small nations; and has used its excep
tional advantages to produce a pic
ture cf high educational value.

CAN'T REMOVE SNOW.

II j - Is j ( &
j. O. Case. who has charge of the
maintenance work on Trunk High
way No. Z, Black and Yellow Trail,
between New Ulm and Sleepy Eye,
informs the Review, that he has re-
ceived special instructions from G.
M. Babcock, state highway commits
sioner, not to remove the snow from
this highway. If there is not too
great snowfall during the present
winter, and if the branch roads con-
meeting with the trunk highway are
kept. open for traffic by motor We
hhicles, then the trunk highway will al
so be kept free from snow sufficiently
to permit automobile travel. The
impression seems to be gaining ground
that Mr.. Case himself is to blame
that Trunk Highway No. z was not
cleared for ira ffic, following the snow
storm early last week, hut this is not
true, as he received his instructions
from the state highway commission
ier and had to govern himself accor-
dinghy. sssN

STRANGER ( DRINKS
POISON ALCOHOL
PETER SMITH OF WISCONSIN
QUENCHEs THIRST WITH
STRONG DRINK.
LIFE WAS SAVED BY QUICK
ACTION AT A LOCAL
HOSPITAL.

/ Peter Smith,, a farm hand, who
claims to hale from Kenosha county,
Wisconsin, and who had been working
in the vicinity of Marshall and Tracy
during the past harvest season, almost
ruined the lining, of his cast-iron
stomach by drinking generous guam
tity of denatured alcohol at the North
western depot in this city, Friday.
The deadly poison contained in this
dangerous concoction nearly proved
fatal for the man, whose life was saved
by quick action on the part Of the local
police and physicians. s
Two Bottles in Possession.
People who were in the waiting
room at the depot at the time, noticed
that Smith was drinking rather freely
from bottle. Closer observation re-
vealed the fact that the bottle was
labeled "denatured alcohol" and they
Immediately became alarmed and noti-
fed the police. Chief Alvin Harmon
ing and Officer Ed. Wagner drove to
the depot and took the stranger into
custody, escorting him up to the police
station, where. it was found that he
had two bottles of the deadly fluid in
his possession. One of these he had
purchased at Sleepy Eye, while the
other was obtained at a local drug store.
Taken to Hospital.
Smith was rushed to the Loretto
Hospital, whittier physicians were
called to administer an antidote, as the
mans condition grew alarming and
his life was greatly endangered. It
was found necessary to pump out the
contents Of his stomach, and for time
it was feared that he would not sur
vive the effects of the poison. The
man evidently possesses strong con-
stitution, for he finally rallied and was
able to leave the hospital Monday
morning He was not allowed to
tarry here, but received orders from
Chief Harmening imme ediately to lose
no time in leaving the city.

R. M. Hicks, former manager Of the
New .Ulm Grocery Co, here, suffered
a considerable loss last week when the
Spencer Grocery Co, of Spencer, Iowa
burned out. Hicks has been the head

left here the first part Of last April.
The building occupied by the Hicks
concern was a temporary home, OF
frame construction, which had been
leased for the new business, pending
the erection of a permanent structure.
Reports that have reached New Uln
say that the loss was almost total,
and that nothing but the books W :.
saved. Tt seems large stock e 7
goods was on hand. Whether The
insurance will take care Of the loss
is not known here, but it is hoped by
the many friends of the Hicks family
THAT their loss will not prove to be
severe.

MUST BE ARMED.

According to a communication re-
ceived by Postmaster Fred Pfaender,
the Postcffice Departme requires that
all postofice employees who handle mail
must be adequately armed against pos
sible attacks BY mail robbers. Even
the mail messenger who transports the
mail between the depots and the post
office, must carry a revolver under the
new order. The clerks in the New
Ulm postofice have been armed with
large calibfed revolvers for some time
past, and Postmaster Pfaender has
already made requisition for sufficient
additional .shootin irons to supply
the other member Of the force who
are not yet armed. It is expected
that the miniature pieces Of artillery
will arrive here within a few days.

PROPER DISBURSEMENT OF
THE FAMILY INCOME
IS PROBLEM.
BUDGET RECORDS WILL BE.
D1sTR IBUTED FREE TO
PEOPLE HERE.

Postmaster Pfaender is now in a
position to settle discussions regarding
the proper disbursement Of the family
income. He has just received from
the District Savings Division of the
Treasury a supply Of family budget
records for distribution to the public
here.
Greetings between housewives in the
future will probably be" Good morn
ing, how is your budget?" or in some
instances Good night haven't
saved a cent IS I,
The problem Of the proper handling
Of the family income is one which lis
receiving more attention today than
ever before and much has been said
and written on the. question.
Blanks Are Complete.
The blanks which the postmaster has
for distribution provide for record of
all disbursements under the heading of
food, shelter, operating, clothing, ad-
,vancement, miscellane Gus and saving
with sub divisions of some Of these main
items. The budget also shows sample
budget prepared by the Home Econom-
les, Department of the University Of
Minnesota, so that everyone may have
some idea as to what they should spend
for the various items.
In commenting on these figures, Mr..
p. G.. Kibbee, Director Of the Savings
Division Of the Ninth District said:
"The figures given in the budget sys-
tenn are the result of careful study and
investigation Of conditions in Mime
sofa some two years ago. Although
allowance will have to be, made for
changing prices and local conditions,
the figures will serve as a guide to
families making their, first budget. It
is, OF course, impossiblessto prepare a
table to apply everywhere in the
state" &: x 53 s
Interesting Results Expected.
The postmaster looks for some in
teresting results following the adoption
of the family budget and expects that
after the spending Of the family in
come has been put on,a business basis,
sufficient funds will remain for invest
ment in the Treasury Savings Securi.

GARAGE HAZARD.

Automobile owners will often run
their cars into a garage, but fail to
turn off the switch on the battery,
which is left running BY the con
stant running Of the battery, the in
Esulation wires get hot and break,
thereby causing a short circuit. Il
there is grease close to the battery, il
quickly catches fire. Moreover
garage owners are usually careless
about seeing that the swift tchsis turned

many fires Of unknown origin !, ii

]. NuTRITloNAL l1F1 i ]: SPECIALISTS ]; AT
LOCAL HIGH SCHOOL
NEXT WEEK.
TREATMENT OF UNDERWEIGIIT
CHILDREN is PRINCIPAL
OBJECT OF 1 QUIZ.

Malnutrition, one Of the largest:
factors in causing i'll health among
children today, will be carefully looked.
into, so far as the pupils Of the New.
Ulm schools are concerned, by special
lists at free clinics which are to be held
at the local high school building, Tues
day and Wednesday Of next week.
These clinics are primarily for children
from 5 to- 16 years of age, who are
underweight, and the mothers Of the
children selected for examination are
urged to be present at the clinics and
ask any questions that may arise in
their own minds, which will be answer
ed by the specialists in charge. In
this manner, more 1 beneficial results
will be accomplished in overcoming
malnutrition and underweight of
children. ,
Health Indications. n.
The child's weight for his height
and age is the best index Of his general
health. For every child Of a certain
height and age there is "a normal
weight. Anyschild, who is from seven
to 10 per cent below his normal weight,
is called malnourished. ..sz. & s.s
Il. Malnutrition has been traced to five
definite causes, which are: 81 I
a az The presence of physical de-
fects, such as adenoids, diseased ton
sils, and decayed and abscessed teeth.
e Lack Of home control, which
should make the child live according
torules of health. .;.S.
(3) Over-fatigue the result of too
much pushing in scho and afterschool
hours. 8f s5
(4) Not enough rest and sleep.
[5) Improper food
Impairs Vitality.
Malnutrition brings lack of vitality
and loss of ambition. It often makes
an ll-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, bring
them to the nutritional clinic csand hear
the attending specialists explain what
each particular child must do to bring
up his or her weight and grow to be
strong and happy. Remember, there
will be no charge for the examination
and advice. You owe it to your
child's future welfare and happiness
to attend these clinics and learn the
cause Of its present i'll health or under
nourished condition.
