PEOPLE OF
HEALTH, SAYS BOARD

CINCE January /, 1923. there have
~ been $40 cases Of smallpox report
cd TO the state board of health, with
two deaths. These cases and these
deaths could have prevented by vac
cinatjon. ii Is asserted IN the Health
Review" issued by the Montana health
department
II is true, the review states, that the
majority Of cases OF small pox ap-
pearing in Montana in recent years
have been extremely mild, but there Is
no reason that we can see why small
pox may not at any time appear In a
malignant form as It did in 1921 In
Kansas City, Missouri, and Denver,
Colorado, where there was a very large
fatality rate. On account Of the mild
type Of the disease In recent years,
people have neglected vaccination.
This Is the reason we are having 50
many cases Of smallpox at the present
time. In many places in the stats
where smallpox has made its appear
ance, the local and county health eff
! GERS have been able q get a large pro
portion Of the people vaccinated. Al
instance Of this occurred at KaIispeI

two swimmers; one who swims the
Breast Stroke, the other the Crawl
Now, keep in mind that the latter
has been taught this stroke when
he first learned and knows no other
way of swimming. A swimmer in
distress calls for help and the two
swimmers go to his assistance.
There is no doub but that the
Crawl Stroke swimmer will get to
Noy, keep in mind that the latter
will he do when he gets there? In
attempting to rescue, he will be
practically as helpless as the swim
mer requiring assistance, and the
chances are there would be a
double drowning if he attempted to
help the drowning person. What
would the Breast Stroke swimmer
do, you would ask. He would ap-
proach the drowning swimmer,
treading water, using the same leg
movement as in the Breast Stroke
and grasp the subject in a proper
manner, turning on the back and
tow the rescued one to safety using
the Breast Stroke kick or so-called
Frog kick, or the Side Stroke,
which is stroke similar to the
Breast Stroke but where the swim
mer is on his side.~ The propulsive
power is gained from the leg move
ment in the Side Stroke as well as
ir the Breast Stroke.
81 will give another example
where the Crawl Stroke is useless.
A bather has been overcome in the
lake Or in the pool and is on the
bottom. Could the crawl stroke
swimmer swim to the bottom and
bring the body to the surface? No.
There is but one stroke to be used
in swimming under water and that
is the Breast Stroke. Breast Stroke
swimmers taught by a competent
instructor will vary very little in
their movements, but l have never
seen two Crawl Stroke swimmers
who resembled each Other in action.
There is always a decided differ
ence in either the leg or arm mo-
ton. One of the very best SWIM
mers we have is Mr.. Frog and 1
will call attention to the fact that
he uses the identical movement with
his legs in swimming that we
humans do when we swim the
Breast Stroke and you may safely
say that Mr.. Frog is not going to
change his manner of locomotion
even in this day of speed mania.
Mother swims the Breast Stroke,
Sister swims the Crawl.
Father swims the Trudgeon
While swim them all.
But Grandma swims dog fashion,
It's no hy-falutin name.
But it keeps her young and healthy
And she gets there just the same"

GAS TAX MAN WINDS
UP CAMPAIGN HERE.
POPULAR EVERYWHERE, PRO.
POSAL MEETS NO REAL
OPPOSITION IN
MINNESOTA.

Minnesota men and women vot-
ers-surely the big majority Of
them-going to the polls next Tues
day will start right by putting the
first K after Eyes" on the pink
ballot to let the legislature put into
good roads any money that may be
collected in gasoline taxes here"
said Nickles N. Dimes, gas tax man,
in sum-up yesterday.
Naturally, the farmers and other
automobile owners and road users
of the state, if obliged to pay gas
oline taxes, would rather have the
money used for highway improve
ments than for the general expense
of running the state government, so
they may be counted on to vote yes
on Amendment No. /.
That's all there is to vote on,
and it's pretty well understood.
thanks to the newspapers that have
again served their readers by CIV
ing the facts" he added.
Women will vote for the amend
ment because good roads mean so
much to them and the children. and
they will vote the pink ballot first
Farmers will do likewise for like
reasons, as stated. They know that
the plan is to tax only the gasoline
for vehicles using the highways, and
that the car owners of the three big
cities will pay about a third of the
cost of country road improvement
and upkeep, just as under the
motor vehicle tax now.
Everybody ought to know byl
