JANUARY REPORT
OF HEALTH NURSE

In presenting her report for the
momnth- of January, Miss Jennie
Knevels, public health nurse for Bar
aga county. says:
"Our month of intensive school
work was interrupted by an epidemic
Of diphtheria in Baraga village. The
prompt action Of the health officer in
quarantining all families, where some
member Of the family was i'll, soon
checked the epidemic. 1t was thought
best, however, to prevent future epi-
denies by ascertaining the suscepti-
bility Of children in the school, and
follow up this work by the treatment
Of diphtheria toxin antitoxin mixture
to establish lasting immunity. Prac-
tically the entire school was given the
Schick Test, including the staff of
teachers. Many mothers brought in
children of pre-school age for treat
ment.
1--WE feel that the parents and chill
dren who have cooperated with as in
this public health measure have per-
formed q patriotic duty. The result
will be lasting and far reaching. We
believe with the help CT this measure
and the cooperation Of the public,
diphtheria, which has for SO long g
time been scourge to our state and
which has each year taken its toll OF
lives, will be thing Of the past.

TN the early '90s Mark Twain
L was still young fellow in his
fifties, and in the late '90s the
writer's we have with us to-day who
had then been heard of were re-
garded as no more than precocious
children. In the '90s Frank r.
Stockton and F. Marion Crawford
and Richard Harding Davis were in
full stride, the last named trying
hard to live down the charge of
youth. Booth Harrington was sit
ting on rail fence in Indiana" for
six or seven years to emerge from
his obscurity just as the decade was
ending with Monsieur Beaucaire"
and "The Gentleman From Indi-
ana" Winston Churchill was try
ing his prentice hand with "The
Celebrity" before launching "Rich-
ard Caryel." Stewart Edward
White was blazing trails in the
northern woods. Irving Bachelor
was writing "Eben Holden" with
the vague hope that he might sue
ceed as a novelist. George Barr
McCutcheon was finding time be-
tween newspaper assignments for
the composition of "Graustark."
TO revert to the early COS and
Richard Harding Davis, who
was one of the most picturesque
figures of the period. There was a
time when a good many persons
were inclined to disparage Davis's
work as trivial and superficial.
Carpers emphasized his haziness in
the use of will" and shall" as a
capital crime. His Cortlandt Van
Bibber was held up to mild ridicule.
But those who criticized him lightly
or dismissed him with shrug were
not the writing men. The profess
sional might not personally like
him, but he recognized the SINGER
ity, the capacity for hard work and
the genuine talent Davis is the
only man of our time," said one of
them, who has never written a
dull line
pICHARD HARDING DAyIS'S
- first conspicuous success was
with Gallagher" and behind that
story there is story. In the late
sos there was in the employ of
the Philadelphia Press an Office boy
by the name of Tommy Gallagher.
One day Gallagher went to the city
editor. of the paper and informed
him that there was a young man
outside who wanted to see him
The young man was Davis, then a
tall STRIPPING, wearing a long yellow
ulster with light green stripes. He
wanted a position, and told of a
brief experience on the Philadelphia
Record, where they had given him
twenty assignments a day and 81
a week. He confided to the city edi-
tor OF the Press his firm belief that
the city editor of the Record had
regarded him with disfavor because
he had worn gloves.

make good A gang of burglars
was making trouble for the police
and city officials. The new reporter
donned sweater, cap and overalls,
and adopted the name of "Buck"
Meiley. The makeup was copied
from that of BOSS" Knivett of "The
Romany Rye" as played by Henry
E. Dixey. Davis went to the saloon
that was known to be the headquar-
ters of the gang, was accepted in
the assumed role, and included in
the plans to commit robbery at
certain house on a certain night.
He then notified the police to be on
hand, and went with the burglars,
was arrested with them and had
them all sent to prison.
TlHE Gallagher who had ushered
= Davis into the presence of the
city editor was the Gallagher of the
story. He was a precocious youth
whose mind was a ragbag filled
with odds and ends of all kinds of
information. Those were the last
days of the old London prize ring
rules calling for bare knuckle
fights, and many of them were held
in the neighborhood Of Philadel-
phia. One of these battles was be-
tween Jack Dempsey, the Nonpa-
reil of New York, and Mike Mallon
Of Pittsburgh. Davis was assigned
to cover the fight for the Press,
and what he saw he later described
in several vivid pages of Gale
CHER" He took Gallagher with
him.
THE Dempsey -Mallon fight took
= place by night in stable in
one Of the city suburbs. Mallon
was heavy favorite in the betting,
but Dempsey proved a stunning
surprise, and was on the point of
delivering the knockout blow when
the stable doors were smashed in
by the police, who proceeded to ar
rest principals, seconds, and all the
spectators. The protests of the
newspaper men that they were there
not of their own will but as a
matter of business were unheeded
Davis slipped his account of the
battle to Gallagher, who, on ac-
count of his youth and slight figure,
was able to make his way through
the Gordon that had been drawn
about the stable and reach the Press
office with the story in time for the
morning edition.
TN 1890 Davis left Philadelphia for
New York, and sought position
on THE EVENING SUN. The city edi-
tor OF the Press had been impressed
by the long yellow ulster with the
green stripes. The city editor of
THE EVENING Sun later recalled
that the young man calling upon
him was carrying a hat box. At
that period Of his career Davis was
going through life clinging to the
hat box. 1t accompanied him
everywhere. When Mr. Davis died,
in 1916, among the many anecdotes
related was one to the effect that
his application was rejected by THE
EVENING Sun, and that he had
promptly won the desired place by
going out into the street and round
ing up gang of green goods men.
The New York herald., 1922-09-03

Actually, that episode took place
later.
lDAvIs's first assignments with
- THE EVENING Sun were of the
ordinary routine nature. Most OF his
associations were in Philadelphia,
and he was in the habit of spending
his Sundays in that city, leaving
New York by the Saturday noon
train, and returning early Monday
morning. One Saturday morning
about eleven he approached the city
editor to ask for the usual permis-
sion to leave. You may go" was
the answer, "if you will write a
story and turn it in Monday morn
ing" what shall write about?'
asked the reporter. Describe what
you see and call it New York to
Philadelphia from Car Window.
Davis did so. In later years he
wrote "The West from Car Win
dow"
TT was after one of the week end
visits to Philadelphia that Davis
fell in with the green goods men.
He had left the ferry at Cortlandt
street and was making his way
across City Hall Park when he was
approached by the persuasive
stranger. The reporter listened to
the tale and looked for a po-
liceman. There being no po-
liceman in sight Davis himself
took a firm grip on the mans
coat collar and delivered him into
custody. Then he went to his desk
in THE EVENING Sun Office and
wrote the story of the capture. To
his intense disgust it was printed
under the f1ippant heading of Our
Green Reporter" The would-be
swindler was sent to Blackwells
Island, not so much on account Of
his professional practices as be-
cause he had been idiotic enough
to select New York newspaper re-
porter as his victim.
DUT it was not that exploit nor
II the writing of the Van Bibber
stories that won for Davis his first
EVENING Sun promotion That
came, his fellow reporters used to
say, from "bawling out the boss"
The Yale-Princeton football game
of 1890 was played at Eastern
Park, Brooklyn. Davis was as
signed to cover it, with a ticket en-
titling him to place on the side
| lines. The managing editor of THE
EVENING Sun, Mr. Arthur Brisbane,
went to the game and took friend.
Having no ticket for the friend, Mr..
Brisbane sought to requisition that
of the young reporter. The latter
refused, neither gently nor diplo-
matically. He was there to cover
the game and he would not give up
the ticket. That night Mr.. Bris-
bane went to the office and wrath

shall we do?" was asked. Dor"

THE EVENING Sun office when
Davis first became associated
with the paper there was a youth
of IA or Is years of age, known as

TREES.

The week of April 1922 has been set
apart as Forest Protection week, and
its last day as the golden anniversary of
ArbOr day. The President has issued a
proclamation asking the nation to cele-
brate the week, and the specific day, by

CIVILIZATION.

There are now $4,000 miles of paved
or surfaced highways in the United
States more than there are or ever
were in any other country in the world.
They have all been built, too, within
comparatively few years. When the
system provided for in the federal high
way act is completed, the agricultural
department reports, the improved mile
age will amount to 10000 miles.
The process will keep right on, with
accelerating speed, establishing new
trunk lines across the continent and up
and down, in a transportation system of
ever growing fineness and durability.
Imagine all this network of good roads
swept away-the condition in which it
would leave the country and the inevi-
table deterioration that would follow.
Good roads are civilization. There
has never been a high state of civiliza-
ton without dependable transportation
routes connecting every locality with ev-
cry other, and still less will there ever
be hereafter You can measure modern
human progress pretty accurately by its
bodybuilding.

THEY WON'T GROW HAIR.
Peanuts. However, Have Many Useful
Attributes, Federal Experts Find.

Although the nutritive value of pea
nuts ranks high, there is no foundation
to the recently circulated report that
peanuts will promote the grewth of
hair. From experiments conducted bv
the bureau of chemistry of the United
States department of agriculture with
regard to the chemical and nutritiye
properties of the peanut, it has been
found that the shelled peanut contains
about 20 per cent protein of a high nu-
tritfonal quality. The oil. another pro-
duct obtained from the peanut, is easily
digested and also furnishes a large
amount of fuel and energy.
When we eat protein we consume in
really IS or 30 substances, known as
amino acids, each one of which may
have quite special functions in nutri-
ton. Some proteins are deficient in
certain of these acids and will not pro-
mete growth.
Peanut protein, howeyrr. is rich in
the amino acids which are lacking in the
pToteins of corn and grain. and for that
reason peanuts are an excellent supple
ment to a cereal diet, whether in the
form of a meal or press cake fed with
corn and cereal feeds to animals or as a
used with wheat flour in bread making.
The erroneous idea that eating pea
nuts will affect the growth of hair may
have arisen from the fact that hair,
wool. feathers, and similar animal it's
sues, when analyzed show a relatively
large amount of cystine, which is one of
the amino acids present in protein.
Even were the assumption true that
by eating foods containing cystine the
growth of hair could be stimulated. it
would not applyiH the case of peanuts.
which do not contain as high a percent
age of cystine as many other common
foods

What Is State "Overheade"
(St. Adams Messenger.)
