HOW TO KEEP WELL

tanned Every day about five pints of
water is lost through the various Or
ganS of elimination and this loss
must be made up if the human ma
chine is to do its work properly. Since
only part is replaced by the food that
we eat, it is necessary to make up the
deficit which amounts to about six
glasses.
Simple and necessary as it is to
drink plenty of water there are many
who do not take a sufficient quantity
Such people are accustomed to give
their systems less than the required
amount and although they may suffer
from headaches and indigestion they
never dream that lack of water has
anything to do with such disturbances.
eff therefore, you have not been in
the habit of drinking six glasses of
water each day, commence to do so at
once. Take one or two in the morn
ing before breakfast, preferably warm.
Take the other four during the day.
They will act not only as a flush to
the outwaste products but will help
the liver, kidneys and skin to perform
their functions.
1.-The question is often asked as to
the advisability of drinking water at
meals There is no objection to this
habit provided it is not used to wash
down poorly masticated food. Never
drink with food in your mouth.
Thirst is a poor indicator OF our
water needs Drink six glasses Of
water each day."

POPPY WORKRO0|M
PAY ROLL $4,000
DISABLED VETS MAKE MANY
ARTICLES UNDER LEGION AUX
ILIARY AUSPICES BESIDES
FURNISHING EMPLOYMENT.

Started seven years ago when Mrs.
Myrtle Goetz of Fairmont Minnesota
was state president, The Minnesota
Legion Auxiliary Workshop i'll the
Boston Block Minneapolis mas grown
to SCI 900 per year business employ
ing many disabled veterans whose
articles are sold all over the nation in
cooperation with other Legion Auxil-
larry state organizations and with Lee
gion Auxiliary national headquarters
Originally intended for the manu-
facture of paper peoples to be worn
on Memorial Day, the Auxiliary Work
shop, under the supervision of Mrs.
Maud Winter of Redwood Falls, has
gradually included other articles on its
list to keep buddies busy during the
slack poppy season. All sorts of flowers,
toys, dolls, paper tams caps, and holi-
day gifts keep many boys minds off
their disabilities and enrich their
pocketbooks.
Disabled veterans employed at the
Legion Auxiliary Poppy Workshop are
usually service men whose compenSa-
ton for war illness or injury is only
partial and who must supplement
their government checks with out
side funds to keep their families from
want. They know that in the Ameri-
can Legion and its Auxiliary they
have sterling friends who not only
give them the work, but are ever
broadening their market thru the 5000
Auxiliary units and IL 900 Legion posts
of the nation.

Drink at least six glasses of water
day. That should be the minimum
Drink more if you are thirsty"
This is the advice of the health
committee of the Minnesota State
Medical Association in a bulletin is
sued today. Most of the people drink
too little water, declares the bulletin,
which adds that the drinking of water
should be health habit
There are several reasons why the
drinking of water is necessary to
bodily health and vigor," declares the
bulletin. 1t helps to regulate the tenn
perature by distributing heat to its
various parts and by disposing of sur
plus heat through perspiration. and
last, but not least, water is most i'm
portant factor in the removal of waste.
''The food which is burned in the
body to keep us warm and give us the
power to work and move, produces
waste just as the burning of coal pro-
duceS ashes. Then, too, there is a
constant breaking down and wearing
out OF the cells and tissues. This brok-
en-down and WORKOUT materials is
thrown into the blood to be disposed
OF by the skin, lungs, kidneys and
lnteStines. Copious water drinking
aids in the elimination of waste pro-
ducts.
In addition, we must not forget
tnat every tissue and every organ,
even the teeth, contain water. In fact,

DUPLICATION MEANS WASTE.

The law requiring certificate of
Public Convenience and Necessity be-
fore a public service corporation may
incur expense for extension of its lines
is presumed to be public safeguard
and in the public interest.
Previously any railroad might ex-
tend its lines into territory already
amply served by another with result
that both roads suffered from INSULT
cient traffic and it became necessary
to reduce quantity and quality of SER
vice or obtain increase of rates.
Now, before railroad may dupli-
cate service by building into territory
already amply served, it must obtain
authority from the Interstate Com
merce Commission or a State Com
mission and must show by proper evil
dence that the traffic will support an
other railroad, that the territory into
which it proposes to build is not prop
erly served, and that the new line is
public necessity.
In the old days roads duplicated SER
vice and built into each others terri
tory, with the result that traffic in.
sufficient to support one road was
split up among two or three, and re-
sulting loss to the travelling and ship
ping public and investor.
We should profit by mistakes of the
past. A railroad obtains its support
from revenue derived /, ON hauling
traffic, and, where the traffic if split
up would not be sufficient to support
another road without impairment OF
service or increase of rates, it is in
the public interest that authority to
build be denied. 1t is a mistaken idea
that merely " another" railroad means
better service.
The wise course for the public to
pursue is charted by law, and that is
prevent duplication of service where a
community is already properly served
Nothing better assures good service al
reasonable rates, as in most instances
duplication means in the long run
poorer service or higher rates, or both
coupled with almost certain loss to in
veStorS.

PUT A CRIMP IN CRIME.

In, New York State the BaumeS
Crime Commission is expected to en-
deavor to amend the jury law at the
1929 session of the Legislature.
One of the chief difficulties is in Sc
curing intelligent jurors. Inconven-
fences met with; time lost by tales
men from business; "old-fashioned,
obsolete" statutes covering jury duty;
low pay of jurymen and the many ex-
emptionS that have been made by law
make lone wonder that any intelligent
jury is ever obtained" says the COM
mission.
Those who are urging a change say
that the present body of the jury duty
law is in many respects archaic and
does not serve a useful purpose today.
Similar conditions will be found in all
states and it has been suggested that
study of all state laws relating to
jury duty be made for the purpose of
eliminating parts which have become
obsolete.
The intelligence of jurymen and
quick selection of jury has marked
effect upon the proper expeditions adj
ministration of the law Courts become
confused and interest is often lost
in cases where proceedings are slowed
up by out-of-date technicalitieS of
law which are applied to selecting
juries and trying criminals.
Improvements in the means of ap-
pretending, trying and Furnishing
criminals, in speedy manner, will
do more to reduce crime than all the
anti-revolver laws, which affect only
law-abiding citizens, that can be pro-
posed or passed. Let the heavy hand
of the law rest on the law-breaker and
not on the individual who minds his
own business and respects the rights
of others.

ton. Many foreign governments have
not only been players in the game but
in some instances, of which Russia
under Soviet regime is the outstand-
ing example, they have become the
entire game, to the disadvantage and
loss of all others.
The United States has forged ahead
under government policy based on
encouraging practical individualism.
The century old statement, that gov
eminent is for the people, not the peo-
pie for the government, is as true today
as in the time of Jefferson. Our at
titude toward the European and Rus
sian experiments has been that of
by-stander with an innate dislike and
distrust of political paternaliHn.
That the SoundneSS and wisdom OF
American individualism has been prov
| en- cannot be doubted. 1t can be
measured in dollars and cents, and in
| the less tangible, but more important
| values of human rights and happiness.
| There has never been a period in our
| history when the relations between la
| Dor and capital were more amicable;
we have never been more free from
| strikes and disturbances and never
have the people of any country at any
time in the worlds history enjoyed the
advantages which are commonplace to
every American citizen. We have
learned that personal prosperity and
| general prosperity are indivisible, that
it takes capital to make industries and
1 pay rolls and comforts.
The average American has leisure
unknown to the average European,
which he can use to whatever purpose,
| cultural or otherwise, he wishes. He
has motor cars and sufficient money to
keep going; entertainment and money
with which to buy it. He has all the
natural advantages, and in illimitable
number of other advantages that have
accrued from science and industry and
our living standards.
Those who, in the past, have looked
to Europe as the barometer that fore
casts the future of America have been
mistaken. We have become world
in ourselves, universe of individuals
free from the blight of despotism. The
American social-economic theory, with
its stalwart support of the innate
soundneSS of individual initiative and
effort, as contrasted with paternalism
has been a magnificent success.

PROTECTING THE INVESTOR.

In summing up the Nations bust
ness for 1928, which sets a new record
for volume, the American Bankers As
ISOLATION Journal says an suspicious
beginning is set for the new year by
conditions at the close of 1928.
'As regards speculation on the stock
exchange, conservative bankers
and brokers have raised margin re-
quirementS and repeatd warninges
against excuses"
Along with improvements in indus
trial production methods the nation
has been benefited by just as great
improvements in its financial structure.
The Federal Reserve system strength
ems our banking system, while modern
stock and bond exchanges have built
up sound practices in security buy
ing and selling
During the past several years the
public, knowing little about securities
or their actual values, has rushed
headlong into an orgy of speculative
buying where seasoned financiers fear
ed to tread. Recognizing this condi-
ton and also duty which they owe
to the public to try and protect it
from its own lack of experience in
the field of finance, stock exchanges,
their broker members and bankers
have exerted every effort to curb
specializing or gambling tendencies on
the part of those who could not afford
to take chances.
In the old days speculative listed
securities were commonly purchased by
putting up small percentage of the
purchase price, known as margin"
1t the price went up, large profit
was enjoyed; if down, often a total
loss. During the past few years re-
putable broker members of New York,
San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago,
Boston and other stock exchanges have
been consistently and steadily raising
margin requirements and imposing
other safeguards that protect their
customers and at the same time tend
to weed out the Shoestring Specula-
tors who cannot afford to lose. This
limits wild speculative profits as well
as disastrous losses when the market
takes drop like it did recently. AS it
was, the majority of security buyers
were not forced to sell but can await
a revival in prices. Thus a panic was
undoubtedly averted
Securities are like any other COM

CHOOSE SECURITIES CAREFULLY

Millions of Americans are today
buying securities in our business and
industrial organizations. The pros
perity brought on by our modern in
duStrial era has given the average cit
izen confidence in stocks and bonds
as way to invest his money
In spite of our increased facilities
for sound financial guidance and the
many projections open to the investor,
many millions of dollars are lost year.
ly through the purchase of fraudulent
or wildcat" stocks, or through in
vestments made in honest enough VEN
lures, which have little or no chance
for success.
Major stock and bond exchanges,
such as those at New York, Los An
geleS and San Francisco investigate
securities before listing them for trad
ing, thus assuring the purchaser so
far as humanity possible, value re-
ceived. Such securities stand good
chance of paying dividends and appre-
ciating in value, with little danger of
going bankrupt, and are referred to as
listed securities"
The investor should take care in
selecting the brokerage house through
which he purchases his securities.
Houses which are members of one or
more of the major exchanges are like
banks as to safety because they are,
through the exchanges, subject to
audit at frequent intervals to deter
mine their soundnesS.
1t is only common sense to choose Sc
curities which experts have passed on
and to purchase them from brokers
whose financial positions are scrutin-
lied by audit and investigation. For
every dollar made in wildcat" VEN
ture thousands of dollars are lost. The
intelligent investor takes no unneces-
Sary risks.

ELY WINS TWO
LOSE ONE GAME

Tower high school teams were de-
feated and the Hibbing Junior college
quint was victorious in contests with
Ely high school and junior college
fives here Saturday night.
The Ely high school five won from
Tower, the first team, by a score of
25 to 20, and the second team, by 18
to 13, while the Hibbing Junior college
defeated the Ely juniors, 26 to II.
The high school game was quite ex-
citing. The Ely boys were not up to
their standard on the offenSe during
the most of the game and their de-
Tense was weakened when first Bano-
vetz and then Anderson were forced
out of the game on personal fouls.
Ely led all of the way but were hard
pressed at times.
The first half was II to 6 for Ely,
but at the start of the second half
Tower ran up a 12-to-11 score, Ely
then seemed to find the basket and
led by Nicholas forged on ahead and
the last part of the game was all Ely.
The second team game was rather
slow, but the close score kept the
crowd on edge.
The junior collge game was fast,
with Hibbing getting four shots at the
baskets to one for Ely. The Hibbing
Junior collge boys jumped into a 10
to-1 lead at the start of the game.
The first half ending II to for Hib-
bing
The third quarter was the best for
Ely and ended 16 to IL. The Ely lads
kept on even terms after that and a
few minutes before the end of the
game we're pressing the Hibbing team
who were leading, 20 to II. A squirt
just before the gun gave Hibbing three
more baskets. Merhar and H. Pluth
went good on the offense for Ely and
Skala displayed some very fine guard

Albert Lagerstedt, member of the
Minnesota legislature from Sibley
county propose to reduce the mem
bership from 81 to SO senator's and
from 1877 members of the house to
100. He also advocates less liperality
in salaries for the officers and clerks
His i6ea will find much greater favor
with the taxpayers than with his asso-
ciates. 1t is never popular to reduce
the number Of salary drawers with our
solons. Minnesota has too many de-
partments and bureaus and inspectors.
A merger could give equally good SER
vice to the people, at considerable
saving to the state funds. Gov. Chris
Hanson won his first nomination with
this as one of his issues, but about the
only merger secured was when some
head of department died or resign
ed, and the duties were turned over
to a similar department. The COVER

ture and its showing here is the fruit
ion of the desires of innumerable mo-
ton picture enthusiasts.
Harry Pollard, the director of uncle
Toms Cabin" fulfilled lifelong am
bition when he completed the pro-
duction. Probably no other picture
has had the extensive preparation of
this one, Pollard having spent eleven
years In research. 1t was in 1914 that
Pollard knew he would some day direct
his masterpiece and every waking hour
since then, when he was not engaged
upon other pictures, was devoted to
plans for the making of Uncle Tom"
Extensive trips by artisans and
craftsmen were made throughout the
entire South for eight months prior to
commencement of filming in order
that historical atmospheric and ply
steal details might be authentic.
Later, the entire company visited the
actual scene of the famous novel, film
ing sequences in the very surround
ings immortalized by Mrs. Stowe. The

wheeler was chartered for nine weeks
two weeks having been spent by tech
nicians in its metamorphosis into the

The most pretentious sets ever erect
ed were constructed at Universal City
exact replicas of actual homes in the
South being made for the Shelby, St
Clare and Legree plantations as well
as the many other interesting and un-
usual settings.
The poignant love story of Eliza and
George permeates the massive pro-
duction, beautiful contrast to the
epic sweep of the powerful story.

MINING A GREAT BASIC
INDUSTRY.

Mining is the basis of all wealth.
Mining creates new wealth. 1t takes
the useless from the ground, and
transforms it into the invaluable.
The great west was opened up by
mining. Towns, transportation, and
industrial growth were brought into
being by mines. 1t paved the way for
agricultural development to follow.
The precious metals support our
monetary systems. The base metals,
such as copper, lead and zinc, are in
deSpenSible in modern life.
Mines have brought direct prosperity
to many states, where mining is the
principal industry. And indirectly,
through it's widespread service it has
benefited the entire nation, and every
American citizen.
