DUR NEIGHBOR MARS

For a month the eyes Of the astronomers have been turn
ed upon Mars. AS the brilliant planet swung nearer and
nearer the earth the intensity of popular interest deepen
ed. Would the powerful telescopes disclose any indication
of intelligence and life upon the blazing star? If SO, would
sufficient information be revealed to enable us to judge
something of the nature of that life? Are the intelligent
creatures on that planet, if such there be, trying to com
municate with the earth?
Speculations were rife and the world listened eagerly
for any signs from the watchers on the J%ungfrau andMt.
Wilson that new knowledge was being obtained or that
communication was being established with our near yet
distant celestial neighbor.
But all in vain. The planet shone on with its CHEEKY or
baleful light, dependent upon the mental bias Of the star
gazer. The only answer to human queries-a twinkle, a
CLEAN, shaft of brilliance.
Perhaps it is a rebuke to the soaring curiosity of man.
Perhaps it is a challenge to solve the problems near at
hand before wandering afeld in quest of planetary riddles.
Perhaps it is a command to clean up our own back yards
before essaying a conquest Of the sidereal spaces.
So long as we are unable to cope with iliteracy, grind
ing poverty, war, industrial feudalism and religious hat
reds, we need not lose any sleep because of our inability
to discover life on Mars. Exchange.

THE CONSTITUTION

The week Of September IA is to be known as Constitu-
ton week, and churches, schools and lodges are request
ed to provide exercises appropriate to the occasion.
The setting aside of days and weeks for special causes
has been overdone and very properly there is a growing
i~mpatience with these celebrations; there are too many
of them. But Constitution week will meet with general
approval
is the statement of the great principles that underlie all
our laws traditions and history. In the truest sense it is
the palladium Of our rights and privileges. Without it
all American history becomes uninteligible.
When promulgated it was an epoch-making document,
and its appearance announced the opening of a new era.
It is the embodiment of liberty, justice and fraternity.
Every citizen should understand its principles, be IN
formed concerning its provisions know something Of the
history Of constitutional government, and imbibe its lib
eral spirit. Intelligent citizenship is impossible without an
understanding of this significant document.
An earnest revival of interest in it's teachings would
bring a rebirth of patriotism. American ideals are sure
insofar as the people lovingly abide by the doctrines of

WELL
SAFE MILK
is CLEAN
MILK is Natures first food.
DIR. FREDERICK r. GREEN
Editor of HHEALTH'

MILK is Natures first food.
AS long as milk is sweet and
rich and tastes good, most of us are
satisfied. We seldom ask where it
comes from or whether, in its journey
from the COW to the consumer, it has
been handled in a clean and careful
manner. Yet milk is a food in which
disease germs grow easily and rap
idly.
In the old days, milk from any COW
was considered fit to use and any old
kind of a milk bucket was good
enough.
Our milk supply today is far better
than it used to be-, but there is still
room for improvement.
The standards established by local
health departments and the efforts Of
the large dairy companies to improve
their product have been largely re.
sponsible for this movement. AS a re.
suit, the milk supply in our large
cities is better than in the country
districts.
Every mother should know what are
the necessary factors in pure milk and
should insist on getting a milk that
is, at least, harmless.
The principal diseases caused by i'm
pure milk are typhoid fever, tuber-
c%ulosis, diphtheria, septic sore throat,
and probably scarlet fever.
AS cattle are especially susceptible
to tuberculosis, all cows furnishing
milk for sale should be tuberculin
tested.
The principal danger from typhoid
fever is the use of polluted water in
washing milk cans, bottles. dippers,
and other utensils.
No one who has a sore throat or
any contagious disease should be al
flowed to milk cows or to handle milk
for sale.
AS it is practically impossible to pro-
tect milk produced over any large area
from contamination, all milk should
be p~asteurized before it is sold. This
requires heating the milk to a temporal
ture of 154 degrees Fahrenheit for
thirty minutes and then cooling it
to so degrees Fahrenheit. This pro-
cess destroys any disease germs
which may be in the milk. Pasteur-
lied milk should be Immediately put
into clean bottles and sealed before
delivery.
AS milk is an Indispensable food
for children and is one Of our most
valuable foods for persons Of any age,
it's purity should be beyond question.
Pure milk costs a little more but
the additional cost is well worth while.

Superintendent Peter Moller and

Inspection Tour
Through the courtesy Of sub-agent
J. r. Holsclaw the Herald man had
a chance last Monday to visit a few
of the places of interest in the Ind
ian settlements from Wolf Point to
near the mouth Of the Milk River.
The writer saw many things that were
q surprise and a delight because they
were evidence of progress and proof
of the potency Of the soil to supply
the needs of life, even to those I'M
skilled in tilling.
Mr.. Holsclaw's district extends
from Touley creek, least Of Wolf
Point) to the western edge of the
reservation not far from Nashua. The
tour mentioned was from Wolf Point
west along the main roads through
the central parts of the district to
the farm of Claud Bird, three miles
east of the Milk River. There are
seven Farm Chapters in Mr.. Hols-
claws district, one east and six west
Of Wolf Point. There names giving
them as nearly as the order is remem-
bered from west to east, are;

Most of these are named for some

From Is to Is families are associ-
ated in cash of these tommunity
bodies. This article is Introductory.
So much was observed and there is
so much to relate that it would be-
come tedious if massed into one story
So there will be a short series deal
ing with this great work by and for
the Indian as he approaches a new
epoch in his history.
