A record of all the worthwhile
accomplishments of Minnesota Lee
gion posts in the past three years
would fill volumes. Many of these
accomplishments were reported to
the Department Publicity Director
and through bulletins and news let
tiers, have come to the attention of
Legionaires throughout the state.
But some of the finest services that
Legion Posts of Minnesota have
rendered have failed to get the
publicity they deserved, because
someone did not send in a report
to Department Headquarters. After
reading our Minnesota Legion bull
letins and news letters it is appar-
ant that those things which should
be considered fall into two general
classes, as follows:
In the first class are activities
which increase attendance at meet.
ings, stimulate growth of member
ship and make the Legion a well
come adjunct to the social life of
its members, such as establishing
club rooms, providing a permanent
meeting place, holding joint meet
ings with neighboring posts, having
prominent business or professional
men address post meetings, holding
stunt nights including boxing, ath-
letics, etc, attendance contests with
prizes for the winners, exclusive
entertainment nights with talent
selected from local Legion and Aux
iliary membership, joint Auxiliary
and Legion social evenings, cere-
monial work in initiation and in
stallation, a get-acquainted recess
during meetings with a "glad-hand"
committee in charge, organization
OF band, orchestra or drum corps,
formation of a crack drill team,
organization of post athletic teams,
and establishment of Legion
Camping Ground.
In the second class are activities
which help make the American Lee
gion vital factor in civic better
ment; a power for progress in It's
own community; such as raising
funds for public Fairgrounds, main
tanning free skating Kinks, fitting
up a tourist camp, planning and
financing community building or
helping to do so, clearing and gray
cling community bathing beach,
building toboggan slide, staging
home talent plays, carnivals and
musicals, adopting Boy Scout troops.
engaging good chatauquas and lyce,
UNI courses, acting as volunteer
fire departments, sponsoring com
munity singing, etc. These are
merely suggestions-live Legion
posts will find other WAYS in which
they can serve their communities.

Prevention of Diseass-

prevention OF disease.
Sickness causes loss of time,
great expense, much suffering and
frequently, death. When the mis-
cry and distress produced by it are
taken into account, the Importance
of its prevention can not be over
estimated. 1t may often be easily
avoided by simple means. Scurvy,
which was once the scourge of the
seas, now rarely occurs on vessels.
This is due to the addition of fresh
fruits, vegetables, or lime juice to
the seaman's ration. Necrosis OF
the jaw, or phossy jaw, which was
formerly so common among work
men in match factories, is now pre-
vented by the use of PHOSPHORUS
instead of white PHOSPHORUS in this
industry. Yellow fever has been
stamped out of many places by
killing the mosquitoes which convey
the disease.
"To protect ourselves against
disease, it is necessary to know
what agencies are harmful to the
human body and what measures
should be taken to protect the
body from them. 1t has been as
certained, for instance, that in order
to keep well, the temperature and
humidity of the air in buildings
must be regulated; sewage must be
disposed of in such a manner as
not to contaminate the water which
spread disease; and precautions
must be taken to prevent the trans
mission of disease from one person
to another. 1t will thus be readily
seen that freedom from disease de-

associated with the body and its en-
vironment. limited States Public

get behind and boost for anything
that will make the home town a
better place in which to live,
spirit of unselfish cooperation,
united organization with a deter

with the community, will bring to
your post the respect, approval and
loyal support of your home town.
There is one type of amusement
enterprise however, of which few
of our posts have been innocent
victims, that is, those travelling
carnival companies which under the
good name of the Legion have in
dulged in crooked gambling schemes
and presented shows bringing dis
credit on themselves and the Lee
gion generally. Let's have plenty
of amusement and recreation, but
keep it clean and above reproach.

Twenty YEARS AGO|
Taken from The Ely Miner of
the same date in 1902.

The doings at the tournament at
Virginia has demonstrated the fact
that unless ringers" in the shape
of professionals are kept out of
local companies, the annual meets
will be a thing of the past. The
Tournaments, as near as we can
remember were gotten up for
friendly w elk among the range
towns and not as a test as to which
company could produce the most
cash with which to purchase high
priced men. AS local producer
of rivalry in the doings of fremen
and as good sports the tournaments
have proven a good thing. We
cannot refrain from remarking
that the last exhibition of sports
manship as gives in Virginia last
week was altogether too raw to
last and the sooner it is stopped
the better it will be for the range
towns. The Ely boys" Jared the
best of any considering what they
went up against. We have attend
ed the last three tournaments with
the same crowd of men and to the
credit of Ely it must be said the
same crowd are firemen all the year
round. Another suggestion we
will make is, that the Association
secure uninterested judges and
timekeepers and a starter that will
guarantee not to bet money on the
events.
Victor Hill, a typhoid fever pa
tient who was being cared for at
his boarding house in the Chandler
location, while in a delirious state
during Tuesday night escaped from
the nurse and has not since been
seen. He was almost nude when
he got away and it is supposed he
wandered into the woods or into
the lake. Notwithstanding a dill
gent search has been kept up, no
trace of the missing man has yet
been found.
The Minnesota State Editorial ex-
cursion scheduled to arrive in Ely
last Monday evening, failed to put
in an appearance here owing to a
delay in returning to Duluth from
the trip to Isle Royale and TIL
Sault. We sincerely hope that next
year they will not give US the GO
by. A message was received here
Sunday morning saying they could
not come.
Paul Bukovitz and Katie Mihelich
secured license to wed today. The

jollying up his candidacy.

the most handsome places on the

lated on his acquisition.
