HEALTH VERY VITAL

Health and happiness so hand
in hand. We may have happiness
without health but il is a known
fact that good health stimulates
and aids greatly in acquiring and
maintaining happiness. There
fore the preservation of ones
body is something worthy the at
tention of all individuals. And
the time when perhaps il is most
vital that health be given proper
attention is as babies and child
rem. For that reason baby and
children's clinics have become
more and more popular and USE
ful OF late years. They are espe-
cially helpful TO young parents
principally mothers who have
most Of that great responsibility
ON their shoulders the health
of their children.
In former years there were
more baby shows where il was a
matter of competing TO see who
had the most perfect and healthy
children and where also talks
were given on rules for keeping
children well. The shows, how
ever, did not produce the desired
results as il was found that prac-
tically only the healthy children
were brought there. those not up
to standard in health having no
chance in the competition, and
hence baby clinics were started.
At the clinics babies of all sizes
and dimensions, undernourished
and overfed. weak and strong. de-
formed and perfect are examin-
ed and mothers given advice con-
corning their ehildren's health.
The result is that clinics have
aided much in spreading valuable
information concerning child
ren's health--at a time when
health is most vital.

81 IN ADVERTISING
NETS 500 BUSINESS

Homer Tauhman of Willow
River. who has gone into the
chicken business on his farm near
that village quite extensively the
past two or three years, reports
that he has had unusually good
success through advertising in
the American columns. Mr..
Taubman stated that last fall he
spent about 81 in advertising
which brought 500 worth of
business. This may sound a
little "hshy" but Mr.. Taubman is
authority for the statement and
will verify il himself. He said
the little ads brought orders for
chicks and Matching eggs from all
corners Of Pine county and
among other distant points he
mentioned Duluth and even
Tyler, down in the southwestern
part Of the state, where the
American has a number Of read
ers. Those little Want Ads are
Inserted at 4 minimum Of cost,
only ic per word per issue, and
work wonders when you adver.
tise for sale something which
there is a demand for. The
American subscription list Is
steadily increasing and has now
reached point where $50 copies
are printed each week. Esti,
mating four readers to each copy
which is a conservative estimate
gives a total Of $500 readers-each
week. A Want Ad in the Amer,
can is a sure and inexpensive
method Of reaching hundreds Of
buyers.

MUST GUARD AGAINST
PREyENTlBLE DISEASES

DIR p. " Fenger, Askov health
officer, makes a brief statement
concerning his official duties in
the following words:
AS | have been reappointed
health officer Of AsSov village
and Partridge township for the
coming year | wish through the
columns of Askov American to
state my reasons for accepting
this position.
1t is not because Of the high
salary nor is il on account of the
agreeable duties connected with
this office but because believe
| can still serve the community
in this capacity.
1T is evident that if the
spread Of contagious diseases is
TO be controlled certain hmita-
tions and restrictions must be
placed upon personal liberty. IL
may be necessary to lay down
certain rules, often very obiec-
tionable TO the individual. but
necessary in order to protect life
and health of others.
When we all keep this in
mind | shall be glad TO continue
TO help my fellow citizens in the
fight against preventable dis
eases.

The General Science class has
been studying magnetism and
electricity the past few days.
In order to see some of the prin-
ciples in operation the class
visited the local central office and
the telegraph office. Tuesday of
this week the class spent the
regular class and study period
visiting the Askov American
office to study the work of a
modern printing office. The

Offices took great pains in ex-
planning the various instruments

the kind Of stuff that is well to
shake off.
Making up with sly strangers
and trusting them farther than
folks known TO one for years is,
however, an entirely different
thing. Following is a clipping
from a recent issue of the Min
neapolis Journal citing such
case:
Police today began hunt for a
man accused % swindling a waitress
out OF $500 IN a confidence game. The
money represented her life savings.

CONFIDENCE MISPLACED

There is an old saying not a
very pretty one something hike
this; "A sucker is born every
minute However there is lot
of truth in il, the crooks know it
and take advantage Of il. Every
once IN awhile we read in the
dailes OF how innocent people
have been mislead and swindled
and often it makes a person won

would not put such people on

do nothing but tear down the
confidence Of the general public.
There is wide difference be-

know and hive amongst. and then

the Fourth district, had fled for
the office Of state representative.
This was an error as he fled for
reelection TO the office Of county
commissioner. Tire talk had been
all along that Mr.. Stepan was
going to file for representative
and il appeared to be the office
in which he was most Interested
but he decided different when it
came to filing. AT any rate he is
now candidate for reelection TO

ROtTCH ACQUITTED

Justice Chas. Stephan presided
over a court case Monday after
noon when Perry Roach of Mark
vile, was given a preliminary
hearing on. a kidnapping case.
Complaint was made by Mrs.
Havenor, mother of Elvira
Havenor a girl of some Is sum-
mers, who was alleged to have
been kidnapped by Roatch on the
night of Nov. 9th last. Evil
dence introduced by the defend
ant showed that when the De-
putty Sheriff and the mother of
the girl found her that night she
was with another young man of
the community, and not with
Roatch. The case against Roatch
was dismissed on the grounds
that no evidence was produced to
prove that she was detained from
returning to her home.-Pine
