AIR-IMPORTANT TO HEALTH
AND BEAUTY.

Very few OF my readers, am sure
have a real idea of Just how i'm
portant air is to the general health
of the body. Pure air is just as I'M
portant as pure foods. Without pure
air you cannot be healthy and the
more pure air you get the more
chance you have to build up healthy
condition.
This is true because pure air feeds
the body just as vegetables that are
fresh or meat that is clean gives an
other kind of food to the human sys-
tenn.
1t is a startling fact that very few
homes are sufficiently ventilated. You
can 60 into hundreds of them and
find. all of the windows down, espec-
tally in the winter time. Some OF
them are tackled down, and / have
been in many home where the least
possible chance Of getting air through
cracks around the window had been
overcome by FASTING paper over those
cracks.
Such thing of course, quite nat
urally made the house almost entirely
air-proof, and though the occupants
lad not the slightest idea it was the
case, they were giving themselves the
shortest possible road to sickness. In
fact, they were going out and asking
old man sickness to come right in
and live with them, and were making
the road just as easy as possible for
him.
In such homes you will find pneu-
:nonia, scarlet fever, measles and al
most every other disease and those
tightly pasted windows are In nine
cases out of ten the direct explana-
ton. They shut out the curative air
that would have given the occupants
of that nome a chance to fight OF
disease as 1t started.
One or two of my readers have ask
ed me about the benefits or the dan
ger of night air and there is only one
thing to say here. Night air is just
The same as day air. 1t is made up
of exactly the same things and though
IN some climates it is damper or may
be colder than the day air, this Is the
only difference. It Is not dangerous,
and it is just as essential as the day
air can be. 1t is impure air that Is
dangerous. Air that comes OH OF
swamps, air that comes from around
factories where there are dangerous

who is Pete?" 1 asked him.
"Oh. Pete is the dog that plays

had forsaken Nameless and gone
back to his first love.
Farina is one of the most natural
children I know. He has not been
spoiled by overload parents. He is
not impressed with his Importance

normal eight-year- boy. He is al
ways neatly dressed but never over
dressed. I turned from him and adj
dressed his mother. Farina had no
wish to listen longer to older pee
Piles conversation so he politely in
terrupted our conversation and asked
whether he and his sister might go
out of doors to play.

and held out his hand. II guess sis

SHERIFF WARNS
AUTO SPEEDERS

Sheriff John Albert is placing a
deputy in Washoe to watch for speed
ers passing through that town. The
reason for this is that motorists have
been speeding around the corner, and
there has been several narrow es-
capes of their colliding with school
children who are either going to or
coming from school and, playing
along the road.
Sheriff Albert says there is no
reason for any person to pass through
Washoe travelling at a faster rate
than 20 miles per hour and that in
the future it will go hard with any
person who is arrested for this Of
tense.
School children playing along the
road are always unconscious of the
fact that they are in danger and every
motorist should take it upon himself
to travel at a safe speed when passing
through any place where there is liza
BILE to be children playing. There
has been early thirty persons killed
by automobiles in the state of Mon
tana since the first of the year, and
this figure should be kept as low as
possible.

We. MEYERS DIES
in CALIFORNIA

The word that V. E. Meyers, broth
er of the late Senator w. F. Meyers
of this city, who at one time was a
residence of Red Lodge, had passed
away in California, came as sud-
den surprise to his friends and ac-
quaintances in this vicinity. While it
was known that Mr.. Meyers had been
ailing it was not known to be in any
way serious.
Mr.. Meyers, who was SO years old
at the time of his death, came to Red
Lodge in 1898 from Ripon, Wisconsin.
He established furniture business
here, but in 1907 he moved to Billings
where he went into the wholesale
cigar business He spent years in
Billings, and from there he went to
Santa Rosa, California, where he es-
tablished home and was living until
the time of his death.
Mr.. Meyers leaves a widow land as
far as is known, only one sister, who
at the present time is living in San
Diego, Calf.

CROONQUIST SPEAKS
TO BILLINGS MEN AT
COM. CLUB MEETING

AL Cronquist, local dude rancher,
was the principal speaker at the Bill
ings Commercial club meeting Friday.
Mr.. Croonquist talked on the subject
of the dude ranches, pointing out the
fact that Montana and Wyoming have
three times as much to show and
amuse the tourists than other vac
alton lands and yet because of the
lack of "ballyhoo" and advertising we
fail to get them here. The state it
self does not spend enough money adj
vertising," Al said, think of our
state with only $11, 800 to spend. Why
it hardly keeps the office and buys
postage stamps"
The dude rancher compared the the
vacation lands of Montana and Wyo-
ming to a gigantic three-ring circus,
with three big rings as the main at
fractions: Teton National Park, Glac-
Ter National Park, and Yellowstone
National Park as the big center ring"
In this territory are the greatest
scenic wonders the world has ever
known. On top of that we have at
least $50 side shows, the biggest of
which are dude ranches, rodoes, fairs,
national forests, old mining camps,
cattle grounds, Indian reservations,
mines and interesting cities.
Wisconsin, without a single ring,
collected from the tourist last year,
$130,0O0,000; Michigan with no more
to offer than Wisconsin, collected
$100,000,000; Colorado with one
ring circus, Rocky Mountain Nation
al park, and hundred side shows,
sold out for $100,000,000, and this
year are spending $376,500, as a state
to increase the receipts of their tour
ist trade. Montana with the greatest
of attractions only received $15,000,-
600 from the tourists.
Mr.. Croonquist said that reports
are coming in to him, as vice presi-
dent of the Dude Ranchers associa-
ton, that this year will be equal if
not better than last year, and last
year was 25 percent better than in
1928. One ranch in Wyoming has re-
ported that they are fully booked for
this year, another reports that his
bookings are way ahead of last year
and Mr.. Croonquist says that Camp
Sonia reservations are coming in fas-
ter than they did year ago.
