Preventative Medicine

The tendency of medical science is
toward preventative measures. 1t is
easier and better to prevent than tc
cure. Pneumonia, one of the most
dangerous diseases that medical men
have to contend with, often follows a
cold or attack of the grip. d The. cold
prepares the system for the reception
and development of the pneumonia
germ. The longer the cold hangs on
the greater the danger. Take Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy as soon as
the first indication of a cold appears
so as to get rid of it with the least
possible delay. 1t is folly to risk al
attack of pneumonia when this rem
edy MAY be obtained for trifle.

May 18th, 1868, he was at the time
of his death aged So years, 10 months

= Deceased arrived in America in
1888 and came at once to this vicin-

this country he hired out as farm

NOBLE PIONEER WOMAN
GONE TO HER REWARD

3 80 o'clock, occurred the sudden and
unexpected visit of Deaths angel at
one of the homes OF our little village.
It was Mrs. Chas. A. POrten, we'll
known throuout this community. who
then breathed her last. While during
the week previous to her death there
had been indications of. failing health,
and while thus there had been certain
warnings of physical weakening, yet
was there sufficient strength in re-
serve to enable her to be up and shout
her household duties until almost the
very last moment. Quite unawares,
therefore, came the final summons. TO
be sure we know that '''some day our
earthly house will fall but "how
soon twill be We cannot tell" I'm
material is this, however. if we have
the blessed assurance that lit is we'll
with my SOUL"
Mrs. Porten, nee Dahlberg, was born
Feb. 29th, 1850, in Nyskoga, Warm
lands Ian, Sweden. In 1886 she emf
grated to America, where for two
years she served as maid in family
homes. The 9Th of January, 1888, al
Warren, she was united in marriage
to Mr.. G. A. Porten. Following their
marriage they settled on farm in
Vega, where for 30 years they lived
and toiled. January Sth. 1918, they
moved to Alvarado, which place has
since been their home. and where the
wife and mother passed away at the
age Of g. years and % days.
Mr.. and Mrs. POrten were blessed
with eight. children, one Of whom,
namely Julia, passed away in in
fancy. The surviving children are
Hjalmar, who with wife child
reside on the home farm; Mrs. G. w.
Anderson OF Alvarado; Ollie, engaged
in teaching near Lancaster, MINI.
James at home Judith, teacher al
Ely, Mimi; Samuel, student at the
State University Of North Dakota, and
Helen at home. Together with their
father Mr.. G. A. Porten, they now
mourn the loss of dear one.
Mrs. Porten is also survived by a
brother, Peter Dahlberg, residing in
Sandsville township. Three sisters
two in Sweden and Mrs. Il. E. Larson
who lived in Polk county, as also one
Brother in Sweden, preceded her in
death.
The hymn from which the following

POrten.
"Shall we meet beyond the river, !;
Where the ,surges cease to roll?
Where in all the bright forever, ~
Sorrow ne'er shall press the soul? ~
The floral pieces were distinctly
beautiful, an expression of loving re-
membrance.
May the gracious Lord, who alone is
able and willing to succor in the hour
of trial, comfort and support the be-

as also relatives and friends in this
sorrow and until "the storm Of life

and amalgamate our man idea of love

and amalgamate our man idea of love
with the nature idea Of family.
The family idea persists because 1t
has reasons and roots and because 1t
is mapped out on sensible program.
The love idea may also have reasons
and roots, but we haven't studied
them and we haven't begun to try to
make program.
To return to my first contention.
We have matings because nature
plans and perpetuates matings. But
we have no real marriage because We
are still too stupid and sentimental
to work them out.
We have splendid schools and laws
which make attendance on these
schools compulsory. We constantly
insist on more elaborate preparation
and a higher grade of service from
our teachers. We have religious
freedom. We have a healthy, pro-
gressive legislative system. We have
sanely developing city governments.
good roads, libraries, hospitals, play
grounds, linoleum, aluminium and 1,347
varieties of tooth paste.
We have all these civilized insti-
tutions and conveniences. And we
look with contempt on the people
who do not have them. But when 1t
comes to loving alliances between
men and women-in short: to that

tant and why it's worth sticking to
after It has begun to bore us and age
us. Let's see what it all means and
where it is tending. And after we
have found out these things, let's be-
gin to teach the children about them
from the very start. Teach them def
nitely, Teach the whole business OF
the marriage estate-the economies.
the technique, the psychology ana
ethics of souls and sex.
And after we have taught these
things, let's check up on the results.
You'd expect a clerk to be able to
pass an examination in elementary
arithmetic before you considered him
qualified to sell beans. wouldn't you?
You'd make a chauffeur pass a test
before you licensed him to drive cars.
And yet you let youngsters go forth
to people and protect the world with
no more preparation than a grass
hopper has for the job.
Stop blaming the devil for the d.
vorces and imploring God to quicken
us to His mysteries. Stop writing
poetry and preaching slush. Lets get
down to common sense and act as II

an ace Of dom 1t. too" Alas! the ace
that means.
Henry Ford was, and still IS. a
dreamer. But as far back as the days
of Joseph-and the greatest dream
ers of the world by the way, have
been OF Hebrew extraction-dreamc
have not been held in high esteem
by some Of their brethren, especially
in the days before their dreams came
true. AS a rule they climb alone a
steep and stony path across which
men delight in raising barriers.
Dreamers upset the rules of prophecy
According to the flaws Of logic and
the rules Of men who walk by sight,
these men who dream and move as In

who dream walk by faith. not by

He who sees thinks ne must remove
the mountains that bar his way. He

best way to dispose of mountains.

theory called marriage-we follow a
program that hardly deviates from
that in vogue when John Henry was
a cave man and ate his mastodon raw.
We have poetry and platitudes and
taboos; we have sentiment gooed all
over the landscape. But we have no
serious platform for matrimony. We
teach cement mixing with the great
est of care, but where may we learn
the profession of wedlock?
Nowhere is marriage handled as a
vital, civilized institution. One thing
only do we hold essential for true
marital success-love. But love isn't
a reason or preparation or a proper
program for marriage At its lowest,
the thing we call love Is no better
than the urge which sends the salmon
leaping.. Puget sound In springtime.
At its best, It's a beautiful reaction
which for long periods is imper-
ceptible in the grinding OF the work
which gives it birth. That work Is
the vital thing, not the reaction. At
no time can love, be it great or small,
insure the permanence Of marriage.
And that's why we have divorce-be-
cause We have thought that love was
enough.

and then has suddenly ceased to place
orders with them and left them with
an idle investment and deserted fac
tory on their hands.
Perhaps his answer to this charge.
II there is any truth in 1t, would be
that even so they made good money
while they were going. and that he
left them better off than when he
found them: and as for the low
wages paid their men. that was not
due to the price he set for their out
put, but to poor management and
production methods; for later he was
able to make the thing they were
making for him at cost less than
he was paying them. and at the same
time to pay s. and Sc minimum wage
for the labor that went into 1t.
I have listened to many discussions
on this point and am well aware that
there Is a sharp division of opinion
in regard TO it. The view one takes
of 1t will depend almost entirely on
what he considers fair in business.
and on that men are long way from
agreement.

CHAPTER v.
SOME ELEMENTS OF SUCCESS.

SOME ELEMENTS OF SUCCESS.
HENRY FORD has built up a great
i i industry; he has amassed a great
fortune; he has paid labor a liberal
wage; he has built a hospital: he
has set in operation agencies which
have in their day done a great deal
Of good. To human thought, to poll
tics. to science. the arts, education,
religion. his ntribution-directly or
indirectly-is yet to be made.
What he has done for others has
been along lines that have as a rule
brought a liberal return TO himself.
Seriously and to his credit I would
say that his most valuable contri-
button to humanity thus far has been
his discovery OF some very profitable
kinds Of philanthropy A good thing
done for reward is good. Noble and
better things however. are possible.
I wish Henry Ford had more good to
his credit that had cost him something.
In actual service to humanity and in
unselfish use Of his wealth his old
running mate, Couzens, has done SO
far more that will live.
Henry Ford plays spectacular
game. He pulls some wonderful
stunts. He is a pinch hitter in fin
ance, and the idol OF the bleachers.
But there are better all around men
in the game. He is as temperamental
as an artist, and as erratic. He has
been known to fan out. And he GER
90 {,, J,n
case of the peace ship and his Jewish
diatribes He is not a team man. He
must play the game alone and for
himself. He has advanced good
many men on the basis of the financial
diamond, but I do not recall that he
ever did SO by a sacrifice hit.
Henry Ford has attained q remark
able prominence. but he has not at
tanned that which makes prominence
permanent-name1y. eminence. Promi-
nence may be gained by saying things
and doing things; eminence is achiev-
ed by being. The essence of eminence
is a MANN his mind and soul.
Henry Ford is an unusual, 4 most
remarkable man, but not great
man-not yet. There arc in him
neither that breadth nor depth of
mind. nor that moral grandeur,
which are the distinguishing marks
of the truly great. Some men are
born great, some achieve greatness.
but no man ever had greatness thrust
upon him, Shakespeare to the con-
| trary. He may be thrust into promi-
nence, but not into eminence; for emf
nence is reached by climbing an in
ward spiritual ascent
II Henry Ford would quit watching
the popular winds, take down his
political lightning rod and devote
! himself to the solution OF those hu-
man problems which press upon him
! for solution as an industrial leader, l
! think he could attain a great and
! enviable reputation. 1t is in that di-
| rection, I believe, that he will find
the fulfillment of the wish which he
expressed to me when he said: Il do
| not want the things which can be
bought with money. I want to live a
life-to live SO that the world will
