been resesved at the exposition, Mr..
Vibert said.
Plans for the display are at pres

GLIDING James Moonan and Joe
Pluth of this city and Gust Carlson
of Tower. While the details Of the
display are not yet available, off,
Gals of the association promise some
v,lIng entirely new, which will go far
to advertise the possibilities of the
Arrowhead.
Last year the association exhibited
number of wild animals found in
this territory, including cub bear,
muskrats. and beaver. Chicago news
papers declared the exhibit the best
of the exposition and much of the in
crease in Illinois tourist traffic is at
tributed directly to the Arrowhead
booth.
Mr.. Vibert also stated that from
one to four inquiries are now being
received daily regarding the Arrow
head farm country and asking for
the new association booklet Farm

DOGS MUST De
TIED At ONCE.
BOARD OF HEALTH ISSUES IN
STRUCTIONS TO DOG OWNERS
TO TIE THEIR ANIMALS SER
UNI INSTEAD OF MUZZLES.

A circular notice has been diStribut-
ed and also is being published in this
issue of the Miner calling attention
of the dog owner to a regulation
ordered by the Board Of Health OF
the city to guard against rabies.
The order is to become operative at
once and must be obeyed. No drastic
measures are prescribed providing the
owners of dogs will cooperate with
the health authorities in the matter.
In an interview granted the Duluth
Herald by Dr. Thompson while in the
Zenith City last week, the DR.. takes
Duluth severely to task for its &C
ton in the rabies situation. re told
the reporter that "blunder" was
made. The article in the Herald is
as follows:
"Dr. j. E. Thompson of Ely, veter-
marian and sanitary inspector and a
member of the committee on live
stock of the st. Louis ciunty club
today volunteered a statement to The
Herald that Duluth had blundered in
handling the rabies situation.
"The meLnod of handling the dis
ease in Duluth is the biggest blundeI
in communicative disease control that
I have ever heard Of" he said, "and
the scare is being carried throughout
the county. The very simple method
of detecting the disease as described
by the dog frothing at the mouth, by
the health olucer in his press state
ment. is pure and simple bunk. The
authorities of various range cities
have now received circular which is
merely more oil on the fire.
Throughout the United States the
muzzle for dogs in rabies control has
disappeared with the ancient prac-
tice of fumigating a house following
a contagious disease.

animal than the alarming proclama-
tionS labelling the mad dog a terrible
menace to children and human life
in general, as is sometimes done by
means of scary posters and newspaper
headlines, instigated with good
enough intentions, but always from
faulty misunderstanding of the
mad dog situation.
1.-The truth is, that rabies among
human beings is relatively rare dis
ease. 1t is terrifying in contempla-
ton rather than a dangerous menace,
ana in the light of effecJlye preven-
ton, within the reach of ALL it be-
longs to the lesser hazards of human
life. In short, the appearance of
rabies is sharp contrast to the fears
of an outbreak among dogs, which is
always prevalent. 1t, however, ap-
pears to be disease that Is increas-
ing in this country and consequently
is one that should be scientifically
handled, by means of sensible laws,
Sensibly enforced. not only during
the panic of outbreaks, but con-
tinuously controlled. II is fraught
with no great difficulty, besides, per-
haps, the opposition Of sentimental
persons who actually question its ex-
iStence.
"On the contrary, the discovery of
the single injection method of i'm
munizing dogs, coupled with the
time-tried Fasteur method of treat
menG of the bitten, and practical
control measures, which inflict hard
ships on no one, are available, and if
put into practice, together with Q
reasonable System Of handling dogs
running at large, there is no reason
why the unwarranted fears of rabies
should continue"

CHILD HEALTH AND
PARENT EDUCATION

Here is a story which the boys and
girls can read out loud when the
family gathers around the fire to-
night.
Nine-tenths of the whippings are
parents give children are unnecessary.
Not only that, but in many cases this
lis exactly the wrong way to deal with
the children.
Now, this is not mere guess work.
It is the settled opinion of experts in
this matter of bringing up children.
Authorities in child study who are
preparing for the Northwest Confer
ence for Child Health and Parent Ed
ucation in st. Paul, March II, % and
90 say that parents are continually
making this error.
Leaders in child study now are
agreed that most of the whippings
which the average parents give their
children are unnecessary" DR.. Richard
Gliding Beard, secretary for the con-
ference, said. "In most cases, other
ways of appealing to boys and girls
are more effective and more conduc-
i've by far to their welfare"
One session of the conference will
deal with behavior problems. Speak
ers who have made special study
of discipline will explain, Ior the
benefit of parents, teachers and 9TH
ers interested in children, just how to
deal with boys and girls whose con-
| duct does not come up to expecta-
tionS.
This is not the only thing to be
taken up at the conference, however.
Forty speakers, including many noted
authorities in various fields of child
study, will take part in the confer
ence, and their talks will cover a
wide range of subjects. The rail-
roads have granted special rate OF
a fare and half for the round trip

pockets with the fine mud
The brothers rode on as fast as they
could and arrived at the gates of the
court long before Clodhopper. Suitors
were given tickets In the order of their
arrival, so 1t was important to get there
as early as possible.
People crowded around the castle to
get a peep in at the windows and see
the princess receive the suitors. But
as each sutton was brought before the
Princess he lost his power Of speech
and stood there dumb.
"No good" the Princess would saw:
away with him!"
Then came the brother who knew the
Latin dictionary. But he completely
+ got 1t while waiting his turn. The
floor creaked. and besides there was q
mirror in which he looked as though
he were standing on his head, and there
were clerks to take down all he said and
give 1t to the papers so 1t could be
printed and sold on the streets within
the hour. It was terrible-and awfully
hot

with him."
Then came the second brother. All
he could think of was that it was too
hot in the room. He forgot all his ac-
embellishments. too.

at the same fire?"
why, no." said the Princess THAT
will be quite all right. But have you
anything to roast 1t in? have neither
pot nor pan to lend you"
"Oh. I have something, never fear"
said Hans. and he produced the piece
of wooden shoe which had made his
brothers laugh so hard This will be

crow in the shoe"

Preservation of Silk Goods
BY LYDIA In BARON WALKER.

It is believed that the climatic con-
ditions of the countries where the
earliest silk weaving was done has
| much to do with their preservation.
China was the first country to have
Silken fabrics. The Silkworm -four
isheS there. and silk, whether IN the
cocoon or woven into gorgeous textiles.
is at home In its native environment.
1t belongs to the climate. The Chinese
were. and apparently remain. contented
to have the silk soft. They do not de-
mand that it be made stiff as If
starched. Rich and heavy the silks
often are, owing to the quality of the
silk thread and the fineneSS of the
weave It was true in ancient days
that silk was precious ana every care
was taken to keep it in the finest
condition.
The contrast in viewpoint concerning
silk in those early ages and today Is
amazing This is an age of silken gar
ments. but 1t is one III which no great
care of the textile is taken by the wom-
en- who wear the goods. This Is an
age In which silk is looked upon as a
necessity. even a common necessity.
and treated with little regard to keep

have q perky texture that others be
pliable. that some sheer silks have

etc All these things have to be taken
into consideration when the correct
care is given the goods
SIN Tissue and Paper.
Silk that is laid away should either
be folded over crushed tissue paper. so
that the folds are softened. or else be
rolled about q tube 1t should have
tissue paper between layers The soft
paper absorbs moisture and prevents
the silk pressing together. The very
name of tissue paper arises from the
fact that it was put between layers OF
goods so fine that they were called
tissues The paper laid between when
The goods was exported and termed
tissue paper. We cannot do better than
continue to use 1t In this same way
when We have silk to lay away.
Silk that has an imposed stiffness or

in some cool closet. II made into gowns

she Is unconsciously giving it the worst
attention possible. Silk that is not kept
in a dry place will become spotted It
is not called mildew when on silk. In
stead We speak of the material getting
spotted. but il means the same thing
It will be seen that to keep silk in
its best possible condition for the
longest time and have it give the best
wear it should be folded over tissue
paper as mentioned and placed In
cool dry closet where light cannot
penetrate to fade and streak the goods.
Silken garments laid away should have
crump.ed tissue paper stuffed in sleeves
and throughout the folds.
