M. S. M. A. Authorities Issue a
Few Facts on Ventilation
and Home Heating.

What is the state of the old heating
plant; and how about ventilation and
the dryness or moisture of the air in
your house this winter?
Minnesota State Medical Association
authorities believe that a careful con-
sideration of all of these factors in
winter comfort will do considerable to
promote the health of the family from
November to May.
THAT existence in hot, unnaturally
dry atmosphere is definitely damaging
to respiratory functions and definitely
pre-disposing to colds and winter ILL
nesses is well established" says the

hold, who wants to give his family a
happy Minnesota winter, will do much
better to see that the temperature in
the house doesn't soar above 68 degrees,
than to see that his medicine chest is
full of remedies for Snuffles.
Human beings weren't designed for
operation in ovens the bulletin fur
ther points out. when they are sub
jected, hours and days on end, to the
unnatural dried-out air produced by
some of our modern heating systems,
their breathing mechanisns become
parched and easily inflamed. They are
perfect material, then, for the inevitable
cold and flu germs of crowded winter
living.
Proper ventilation; some method of
restoring moisture that is baked out of
the air by the furnace and good
steady hand on the furnace that does
not allow it to run above the So degree
mark should be prime considerations
as winter plans are made.
A great deal of attention is being
paid these days to proper ventilation
in school rooms, says the bulletin.
But it is not enough to protect children
only during the hours when they are
in school. Home care should attend
as carefully to this detail of their COM
fort as to proper food, clothing and
rest for the youngsters.

GAME AND FISH
POLICIES TOLD
Deputy Commissioner Engstrom
Talks on What is Being
Done.

In an address before luncheon club
in the western part Of the state, De-
putty State Game. and Fish Commis-
sioner Louis Engstrom told of how the
commission had changed its policy IN
handling affairs and stated his belief
that the new policy would be highly
beneficial
The Game and Fish Commission
have had many problems to face this
summer, MIR. Engstrom stated, and
many adjustments had to be made.
At first this caused great deal of
friction but as the people have learned
to know what it is really trying to do,
sentiment has been swinging in favor
of the commission. 1t desires 70 work
in harmony with all the communities
in the state and the exchange Of ideas
for the betterment of our outdoor life.
The policy that the commission is
trying to follow is to work in the
affirmative and constructive line rather
than to follow the negative line In
the past the state through legislative
laws have tried to preserve our game
and fish by making negative laws
They have told the people not to do
this or that. While the department
believes in protecting our game and
fish and enforcing our game laws, Mr..
Engstrom stressed the point that the
policy that it was trying to work I'D
to was to make it favorable for our
game and fish to develop. If we are
to preserve our game and fish we must
remove the causes that have depleted
our outdoor life. Polluted streams and
drained watersheds do not work IN the
interest of the increase of our finny
tribe. Land that is not fitted for any
thing but game reserve should not
be drained and opened for supposed
farm land.
Mr.. Engstrom, who has spent most
Of his life in the northern part Of the
state, deplored the movement that
caused the swamp lands to be drained.
The cost of draining was so terrific
that most of the counties IN the nor
thern part are bankrupt The land
was not fitted for farming and the
dry Swamps become a fire hazard.
In former years these swamps filled with
snow and ice and stayed there until
midsummer giving cold water to feed
the lakes and streams Now the water
comes in a rush in the spring and is
laden with ashes that kills the spawn
OF the fish. MIR. Engstrom told Of bis
visit to the East where many states
now have plenty of deer and wild game
where they had none before. Mime
sofa, he said, should follow the poll
cies laid down by these states making
game preserves on land that was suited
for that purpose.

The following on iron ores at Lake
Erie docks, untitled orders of the u.
S. Steel Corporation and the shipments
of the Oliver Iron Mining Co., matters
of direct interest to this section Of the
country as taken from Skilling's Mining
Review, gives a comprehensive account
of the present situation:
Iron Ore on Lake Erie Docks.
Receipts of Lake Superior iron ore at
Lake Erie docks during October
amounted to 2,028,662 gross tons.
During the same period in 1890 receipts
were 4,O11,476 tons. Receipts for the
season to Nov. /, were 1925, 149 gross
tons against 30,251 ,436 tons in the
corresponding period of 1890.
Shipments of Lake Superior iron ore
from Lake Erie docks to interior fur
naces during October totaled 1,273, OBS
gross tons compared with 2,638,128 tons
in October last year. Shipments for
the season through october aggregated
10,699, 626 gross tons compared with
1904, $3.50 gross tons in similar period
last year.
The balance of Lake Superior iron
ore on Lake Erie docks on Nov. /, was
6,079,512 tons, little less than the
6,341, sos tons of year before. On
April l, stocks of lake iron ore or

portation. 1t is small only by COMPARE
son with former seasons. There were
three mines in the divers Mesabi
range list that shipped more than
100000 tons each during the 1881
season. These were the Hun-Rust,
Sellers and Hartley-Burt. Five shipped
over one-half million tons each.
Untitled Tonnage u. s. Steel Decreases
in October.
At the end of October untitled orders
of the United States Steel Corporation
totaled 3,119,432 gross tons. This is a
decrease of 25,401 tons and was about
the amount of decrease expected for
the month of October Production was
at low point last month and new
orders were little more than shipments
The tonnage reported for October 81
compares with 3,144, 1888 tons, a decrease
Of 24,624 tons from a month before.
On October 81, 1880, untitled tonnage
amounted to 3,481, 763 tons.
Since 1920 there have been three
years when decrease was shown in
the untitled orders of the United States
Steel Corporation in October, and there
were eight years when an increase
was registered in that month. The
average change has been an increase of
$500 tons.

ROAD PATROL
WORK LESS
Lamps, "One-Eyed" Cars Get
Attention; Decrease in
Drunken Drivers.

The campaign conducted during the
past summer by the Minnesota High
way patrol against glaring and de-
fective lights seems to have brought
some results. At least this is the in
ference one may make from the Oct
ober report of Earl Brown, chief patrol
officer, which showed 2,477 tags issued
during the month for glaring and il
legal lights, lights out Of adjustment, one
headlight, no tail light, or no clearance
lights, compared to 4,052 tags issued
for the same causes in September.
Warnings for improper lights dropped
from 1856 to 20.
Although considerable improvement
in lights is noted, the campaign will
be continued with vigor, Mr.. Brown
states. Eight arrests were made for
improper lights in October, all of these
being fragrant or persistent offenders.
Other activities of the patrol also
declined, due to the decreased traffic.
Arrests for drunken driving dropped
from 102 in September to IA in Oct
ober, and arrests for all causes from
479 to 247. Total fines imposed dropped
from $11,931 to $8,048 Tags for i'm
proper license dropped from 1891 in
September to 752 in October, and
estimated receipts from license cor
rections from $3,773 to $2,951. Tags
for illegal equipment decreased from
4,480 to 1882 and warnings for minor
violations from 3,l47 to 956. Road in
formation and other aid was given to
8,551 motorists during the month, COM
pared to 59,282 in September The
patrolmen took 149 cars in custody,
compared to 1913 in September OF the
cars taken in custody, 81 were for
drunken driving, 80 for improper license,
10 abandoned on highway, and one IL
legal equipment.

Increasing Milk Use
: Cuts Food Expense.

The low cost diet is high in milk,
for no other food is as valuable a
health protection as milk, says Miss
Inez M. Hobart, nutritionist of the home
demonstration staff, University Farm
Milk is he best and cheapest source
of adequate protein.
A quart of milk for each child and
pint for each adult viii insure sufa-
cient calcium or lime. No other COM
bination of foods can so easily or 50
cheaply satisfy the calcium require
ment. A pint of milk viii furnish as
much calcium as any of the following:
1.6 ounces of cheese, II eggs, 20 po-
tatoeS, ID slices of whole wheat bread,
80 slices of white bread, medium or
anges, three-fourths cup cooked cauli-
flower, cups cooked cabbage, 2 and
one-third cups carrots, l cup turnips,
80 apples.
Milk is also high in vitamin A, so
essential in keeping up resistance to
disease.

ArteriaI Highway
List is Extended.

Approximately 500 miles of trunk
either have been or win be
designated as thru" roads by orders
of Commissioner C. M Babcock. Work
of putting up stop" signs at entrances
from side roads and streets is under
way. Highway patrolmen and local
police will cooperate in enforcing the
law requiring all vehicles to stop be-
fore entering or crossing such high
ways.
The roads now being designated as
thru" roads include nearly all of the
sections paved this year and a few
others. While there is a short un-
paved link between two pavements.
this is usually included, So as to make
continuous thru" road. With roads
marked with stop signs in former
years, about 1000 miles win now be in
the arterial highway list.
Marking any highway as a thru"
road or arterial highway is intended
Tor the safety both Of traffic on that
road and traffic entering or crossing
1t. Drivers ON such road must MAIN
tain a safe and reasonable speed, and
exercise due caution at all times. On
the other hand, drivers entering such
road, II they have an accident due
to failure to stop, forfeit their right
to collect damages.
In the last three months, highway
patrolmen made 800 arrests for failure
to stop at arterial highways. Enforce
ment OF the stop" rule has brought a
marked decrease in accidents due to
failure Of drivers to stop.

twice as high as in the principal
European countries and 80 per cent
above Canada and Australia. Tuber-
culosis causes only two-thirds as many
deaths as accidents, the Safety Council
report reveals.
Efforts to minimize the appalling
toll from accidents are being made by
several agencies. The U. S. Bureau of
Mines has been conducting ambitious
programs to reduce the hazards of the
mine workers; the National Safety
Council has conducted campaigns and
made surveys in hope of making the
public safety minded; the American
Red Cross has been teaching first aid
and other safety methods for many
years in an effort to minimize the
fatalities. All these movements have
been of untold benefit, saving many
lives each year and preventing countless
accidents. Such programs result in
tremendous savings to employers as
well as employees because the working
time lost in industries as result of
accidents goes far into the millions of
dollars annually.
First aid was introduced to the mining
industry 81 years ago by DR.. Matthew j..
Shields, physician who realized the
need for organized safety methods
among the workmen Attention of the
American Red Gross was soon attrac-
ted and with DR.. Shields help, first
aid became part of the Red Gross
program. Later, however, the U. S.
Bureau of Mines took over the respon-
sibility to the miners, but the first aid
service of the Red Cross spread to many
other fields. Since its Inauguration,
the society has issued first aid certifi-
Gates to more than one-half million
persons
Now, after many years of effort, the
Red Gross is realizing some reward for
its work, because industrial leaders who
are cooperating with the program so
enthusiastically, point out that many
fatalities are prevented each year by
reason of their employees becoming
safety minded.
This program, along with all the
other work of the Red Cross, is de-
pendent upon individual memberships in
the society. The annual Roll Call was
opened on Armistice Day, November
II, and will extend through Thanks
giving, November 26. Between those
dates the public is invited to enroll.
