Small, but Powerful.

Germs are not little animals. They
are tiny plants, the smallest living
things known. They are sometimes
called bacteria or microbes. You
might have some idea of the size of
germ if yoG could take a grain of sand
and split it into a million pieces. Of
course, some germs are larger than
others, but the largest cannot be seen
without the aid of a powerful micro
scope.

st. James, November 2.-The In

ing her recent visit with relatives
and friends in Kasota, Mrs. Emil
Kopp of this city had a very thrill
ing experience, one that was pretty
hard on the nerves. to say the least.
Mrs. Kopp was spending the night
with lady friend, a Mrs. Nelson,
who was called TO the home of a
sick friend during the evening hours.

Mrs. kopp had retired for the nign.
and was awakened from a sound
sleep by the noise of someone en-
tering the room. Thinking it was
her hostess, she sat up. in bed and
called her name and was horrified
when someone struck match and
she beheld The outlines of a man.
Mrs. Kopp spoke sharply to him,
commanding him to get out of
here" and the intruder did as he
was hidden, making quick depart
ure. The village police was notified
but efforts to locate the intruder
failed. The door had been securely
locked but evidently was opened by
a skeleton key. Mrs. Nelson for
merly worked as a furrier and does
considerable work of that kind in
her home and it was believed that
possibly the night prowler was
someone who knew of her absence
from home and who sought the op-
portunity to select a nice warm fur
coat for himself, from the number
the lady had on hand for repairs.

GRANTS CHANGE OF VENUE.
Hearing To Be Had on Shell Will
In Cottonwood County

Worthington, November 3,--Change
of venue has been granted In the
contest of the will OF the late Daniel
Shell of Worthington to the fall
term of the Cottonwood county
court. The case was scheduled for
jury trial at the Mobiles county term
of court, to begin on Monday, but the
respondents and proponents applied
for the change Of venue. Arguments
were heard in chambers Saturday by
Judge e. c. Dean of Fairmont, who
will be on the bench instead of Judge
l.. S. Nelson for this one case. The
trial at Window has not been de-
cided upon, but will more than likely
be November 10 or 90.
e. II. Nicholas of Jackson and e.
J. Jones appeared and presented
arguments for the respondents, and
the appellant was represented by
Charles B. Elliot of Minneapolis and
j. A. Cashel of Worthington. e. III.
Nicholas made the first argument
before Judge Dean, declaring that
since the probate hearing December
IL. 1922, there has been wide cir.
culation of false and misleading
statements, that discussions have
been held in Worthington and other
places and the inhabitants are par
tisan. He stated that the deceased
had a wide acquaintance and his
death and the values of his property
aroused due interest, but that the
newspaper stories aroused undue
interest, so that a fair and partial
trial cannot be had before a jury
selected in Mobiles county.

also presented. with substantially the

was arrested yesterday afternoon

Austin on a charge of having sold
liquor. Heimer's arrest was the re-
suit of the sale of liquor he had
made on the previous day to pur-
chaser who had been sent to the
place by the sheriff's office. A
thorough search of the premises oc-
cupied by Heimer was also made,
but no liquor was uncovered. The
authorities found % battered cans
in a grove adjoining the house
which were similar to those in which
alcohol is shipped into the county.
Both Heimer and Mrs. Heimer de-
clared that the liquor business was
resorted to because of their financial

UPSET PET THEORIES
Or. Mable Uirich Talks Frankly To
Rochester Parent Teachers.

Or. Mable Ulrich Talks Frankly To
Rochester Parent Teachers.
Rochester, November AFTER
DR.. d. c. Lochead. field secretary of
the Minnesota Public Health asso-
citation, had completed his address
on the early to bed, early to rise"
order at the state meeting of the
Parent Teachers association at Saint
Paul, at which Mrs. MacCarty is the
secretary of the Hennepin County
many of the pet theories on how to
rear children by declaring at the
outset that she did not believe it
was a good plan for a child to think
too much about his health.
81 believe 1t is as bad to have him
thinking to much OF his health as
il is to have him constantly taking
himself to pieces mentally. l see no
good in saying to a child: you must
60 to bed now and get your ten
hours sleep, or you can't grow up to
be a football player"
"a woman told me just recently
OF being in a home where there was
a boy of eight. She offered him
some candy and he said: No, thank
you. l never eat it more than once
a week. 1t isn't good for my health"
When 10 p. m, came he got up and
said: IF you will excuse me. I will
go to bed now. I've got to get my
ten hours sleep or l won't be able
to play football The woman who
told me about it said: Isn't it won
defM?' Wonderful said. I think
he is a little prig! 1t is wholly I'M
NATURAL"
DIR. Ulrich defended the young
people of today, both young men
and young women and declared
there was a good deal of truth in
their charge that the older genera
ton has not played square with
them"
"The young people of today are
not surrounded by the conventions
as we were," she said. But. don't
believe there is any increase in sex
immortality. Young men never were
more free from immortality than
they are today"
Declaring the cynicism of youth
was unnatural, DR.. Ulrich saw means
| of sublimating and reserving for its
proper time the sex energy of young
people by developing their love OF
beauty.
DR.. Ulrich declared parents must
face the fact of sex frankly with
their children and said the shock of
suddenly acquiring knowledge Of the
origin of life was Injurious.
"We cannot direct our children
properly by denying there is any
such thing as sex, by shaming them
or by maintaining mystery as to
life that they will solve only on
marriage. Most of the girls who
go wrong are not so immoral as
they are curious"
Another thing which belongs In
the lingo of the past, DR.. Ulrich de-
clared, is the old story which be-
gins with the words ''they fell in
love-" and ends with "and so they
were married, and lived happily ever
after" r..
at is q lie and it has always been
a lie," DR.. Ulrich said. "No man and
woman ever did it and we might as
well be frank about it.
