WOLF POINT PROMOTER
PLANT GOES TO SHELBY

Shelby's two newspapers, the Pro-
moter and the Courier, have been
consolidated and the first issue of the

practical printers and newspaper
men and well known here, having at
n time conducted four papers in
towns east of here, with headquarters
at Galata.
A second plant, recently purchased
by the Courier, will be shipped from
Wolf Point and combined with that
used by the Promoter, and it is plan
ned to provide a larger and more
modern shop and office for the new
publication which retains the old
title.

accident l wouldn't cry about IT.
There he comes now. And there
comes the train
Reddy sat beside the track just as
long as he dared to- BY this time the
train was quite near. So was Bowser
the Hound Bowser looked up and
saw Reddy. That was what Reddy
cross that bridge. He remembered
how frightened he had been the first
time Granny Fox had led him across
that bridge. Then she had told him
not to look down and after that
Reddy had never been afraid SO
now he did not look down. He looked
straight ahead and ran for all he
was worth. The roar of that tram
was in his ears. 1t drowned the
voice of Bowser the Hound and Reddy
did not dare to look back to see II
Bowser was behind him. He thought
he was, for Bowser had been almost
at his heels when he started and had
seemed to be paying no attention to
that train. You see, Reddy had
counted on Bowser being SO excited
at being SO close to him that ~
would notice nothing else.
My, how fast that train came:
Reddy began to wonder il he had
waited too long. The very thought
whistled and that startled Reddy
so that he nearly tumbled off the
bridge. But he didn't. and ran even
faster A few more feet would bring
him to the end of the bridge ant
safety. Could he make it in time.
Reddy fairly flew. hs the saying is.

Reddy Tries the Old Trick.

thing may ancient be to you
Yet to another still be new.

-Reddy Fox.
Reddy Fox was a very hot and tired
Fox when he reached the failroade He
had run hard and fast to get there
well ahead of Bowser the Hound. The
point at which he reached the rail-
crossed a wide stream. There were
two things Reddy could do: he could
run along beside the track for short
distance and then walk on one of the
rails back the way he had come and
keep right on until 1t was safe to
jump off. The rail would not hold his
scent Bowser naturally would think
ne had kept on going in the other
direction.
The other thing he could do-and
this was the old trick Granny Fox
had taught him-was to wait until
BoWser was almost to him and that
train which he could hear coming
was almost to him. Then he could
race at top speed across that bridge
ahead of the train and jump off the
track Just as soon as he was safely
across. Bowser might be so eager at
sight of Reddy that he w~uld not
notice that oncoming train and would
try to follow Reddy across that
bridge. Then the train might catch
water. Reddy had known that trick
to work with young dogs. He hoped
that 1t was so long since that trick
had been tried on Bowser that Bow
Ser would have forgotten all about IT..
Reddy thought over the two plans
and decided to try the old one. If
Bowser should be killed it wouldn't
be his fault. At least. that is what
Reddy told himself. "If Bowser isn't
smart enough to look out for trains
it is no fault of mine." said Reddy

Merriam paused to put both hands
on Roses shoulders. She had to stand
tiptoe to shake her. She was littler
and younger than her pretty sister
about some things.
"You-shall.n not-stay-at- me

speech with wee jabs of kisses, just

babies when they tried to sulk. "You

Sure it is Merriam agreed with
her as she dashed through the swing

gobbling and to speed up Dickys
leisurely absorption of his lunch. Il

told me that he was afraid the whole

She was rattling along with seeming
artlessness. but she was really much
perturbed. She realized that instead
of making Rose jealous she had
simply hurt her feelings.
When they started off for the
afternoon she tried to manage it so
that Rose would sit in the back with
Donald Ferry. But Kirk threw the
babies into the back beside Don and
bundled their pretty mother un
tremendously after them.

gratefully. hes going to be great

But a moment later she was re-

about Ferry's state of mind had not
been all a joke For the fatuous Mr..
Ferry leaned over Ricky's copper
head to whisper significantly:

Removal of Tonsils.

DR.. Albert D. Kaiser of Rochester,
N Y, has recently published valu-
able report of a careful study of the
effect of removal of the tonsils in
5000 children, and there is probably
no record in medical literature which
can compare with this report in i'm
portance Not only was painstak-
ing study of the condition of each
of the 5000 children made year after
the operation, but DR.. Kaiser and his
associates studied and examined TO-
900 children before they were oper-
ated on for diseased tonsils. The
knowledge thus acquired entities DR..
Kaiser to speak with authority. l am
quoting some OF his conclusions here.
OF the 10000 children operated on
there was not a surgical fatality. Al
the end of a year 81 per cent Of the
5 900 children studied were found in
better physical health than they had
been before the tonsils were re-
moved.
In the year following the operation
eighteen of the 5000 children had
diphtheria and eleven nao seatier ter
fever. In the same year the rate 1or
other children in the city who had
not had their tonsils out was practl-
cally twice as high for both diph-
liberia and scarlet fever.
Before operation 80 per cent Of the
l,OUU CnltQFen were pSi SChe "a
underweight. A year after the op-
Grafton only 20 per cent of the CHI.
dren were underweight. A gam Oh
ten to twenty pounds In weight was
common in the year following re-
moval of the tonsils.
The parents of the children oper-
ated on had their own views OF the
value of the. operation. The parents
of 4,240 Of the 5000 children reported
that the children were better in health
after the removal of the tonsils. The

see no definite change. The parents

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.
Soda Versus Salt.

Soda Versus Salt.
If recollect, you told a querist
some time ago that a teaspoonful OF
bicarbonate Of soda dissolved in a
ing. was not harmful, but you sug-
gested a teaspoonful on salt instead.
In a recent article you condemned
the habitual use Of all kinds of salts,
because salts have, an affinity Tor
water and abstract water from the
delicate lining of stomach and bowel.
injuring these organs. Please re-
concile these statements-that Is, II
understood correctly.-E. M.
Answer-A' teaspoonful of soda
taken in a glassful of water would
not abstract water from the stomach
or bowel. Neither would teaspoon
full of common salt so taken. OF the
two, however, the soda is less OBJ
jcctionable. I think. for habitual
use, although / do and always have
suggested that a glassful or two or
three glassfuls Of water. cold or hot
as perferred, without salt or soda,
will usually accomplish the same re-
suit.
False Hair.
Is there tho least bit Of danger OF
getting leprosy from wearing false
hair? How and where do they get
false hair? Can person get any
other disease from wearing t!-Miss
Answer-No. They get it from girls
and women who cut of their hair this
season because they imagine it is
fashionable, and begin next season
to regret it, because bobbing has gone
out Of style and the hair grows again
very slowly, IL at all. Girls ana
