DISCUSSES HEALTH
WORK IN SCHOOLS
Miss Esther Teichmann Be.
scribss Her Program With
Bismarck Children

In order to do good work In school,
. child must enjoy . fair measure OF
health, according to Miss Esther
Teichmann, r. NJ, Bismarck school
nurse.
In our teaching We emphasize the
simple rules Of hygienic living" Miss
Teichmann says, "and this Is done
from the positive side-'What I can
do to keep we'll We say less about
germs, but more about the points q
child can remember In order to re-
tain his health.
"The lessons are taught through
inspections in the classroom when
cleanliness Is stressed, through games,
BY dramatization, and In stories.
Thus we try to instill In him the idea
that by proper care Of his body he
can find . useful plan In society In
years to come.
"A child who shows symptoms Of
acute illness, Is removed from the
classroom. This protects him, and
the other children, as well.
Twice each year the children are
inspected by the nurse, and In cases
where abnormal conditions are found,
the parents are notified. In many
cases 1t Is necessary to talk over the
results with the parents. Frequently
it IS found that q child Is not doing
well in school, and that this is due
to bad eyesight or defective hearing.
When these defects are remedied he
can return to his work, and often his
work shows great improvement.
"The fundamentals Of good health
which we stress are:
II. Good nourishing food.
-. Milk daily.
"3. Cleanliness Of body and mind.
u. Mouth hygiene.
IS. The proper amount Of sleep In
well-ventilated rooms.
e. Water-within and without"

OPPOSES BILL
Bismarck, N. D.,
Feb. q, 1888.

Editor, Tribune:
AS q woman on the state payroll,
I must resent the insult to woman
hood which Sen. 8. 8. Mcdonald Of
Burleigh county uttered on the floor
Of the senate Tuesday night when
Senate Bill 265 was under considers
ton.
He made the rather scurrillous re-
mark that married women employed
do not apply their earnings, generally
speaking, to necessities Of life, but
rather to the purchase Of fine cars,
silks and satins and indulge them
selves with poodle dogs"
A canvass Of state capitol employees,
single or married, viii fail to reveal
ownership Of either fine cars or silky
poodlesl
Mr.. Mcdonald Is supposed TO be
the mouthpiece Of organized labor
and the champion Of the underdog.
His remarks would indicate. however.
that he Is anything but an ardent
friend Of those who are struggling
for q bare existence In these trying
times. Mr.. Acknowledgement are
also organi1ed-and thank God we
can speak In coming electionsl
Under the initiated law and further
slashings Of the budget, salaries Of
state employees have been cut approx
imately S6 per cent: In many in
stances some Of the employees cannot
live decently under these wage stan
dards.
OF course It Is common knowledge
that when Sen. Mcdonald was In the
state employ he did not hesitate ia
annex aS many members Of his fam
lily to the payroll rs he could. "Cou-
sistency thou art jewel"
This type Of legislation Is indeed
unfortunate because 1t ties the hands
Of the state officials In meeting emer-
gencies. The matter Of employing
married women In state offices OF
passing on matters Of nepotism
should be left to the good judgment
Of the elected officials. Each case
should be judged and determined up
on its merits and there should be
no mandatory laws covering such sit
uations.

REMEMBER THE MAINE"
BY Billie wilkinson

ny 0kA1U0 WuA111OO0
In 1895 q rebellion broke out in
Cuba against Spain. The cause Of
this rebellion was 5pain,s harsh treat
ment. Cuba was one Of the Oldest
Of the Spanish colonies In the New
World, but 1t was frequently mis-.
governed by the mother country.
The United States heard Of the
harsh treatment In Cuba, and It be-
lieved that Spain should give Cuba
its freedom. President Mckinley did
not want to involve the United States
In war, but he did want to see Cuba
free from Spain.
He sent ''The Maine," an American
battleship, on q friendly mission to
Cuba. It was blown up on the night
Of February Is, 1893, In the harbor
of Havana. This did not sit very
well with the United States, and on
April Is Congress declared war. RE
member The Maine' became the bat
tie cry Of an angry nation. Shortly
after war broke out the United States
said 1t would not carry out the war
II Spain withdrew It's forces from
Cuba. Spain did not agree SO the
Spanish American war followed.
When the war broke out our Asiatic
squadron was in Hongkong, seven
hundred miles from the Philippines.
Commodore George Dewey was In
command, and his orders were to cap
turc Manila.
He bravely performed his duty. for
he sailed right into Manila's harbor
and within an hour bad forced the
Spanish to surrender. Only seven
Americans were wounded and more
than four hundred Spanish were
killed. This battle was fought May
first, 1893. Dewey's victory won him
great honor and congress made him
rear admiral and later admiral. They
also dispatched twenty thousand SOL
diers under General Merritt to help
him capture and hold the city OF
Manila. When the American army
arrived there was brief, but lively
campaign. The Spanish fought bravely
but they were outnumbered. On Au-
gust thirteenth Manila, the capital
Of the Philippines, fell. Spain had
lost her last colony In the Orient.
The fighting In Cuba was going on,
and we had the service Of some two
hundred thousand men, but q very
small part Of these ever reached the
shores Of Cuba.
The war department had not pre-
pared a campaign. It was uncertain
just where the troops were first to
be landed. but the question was de-
cided by the news that Admiral Ger
vera, at the head of . Spanish squad
ron Of six large ships. had reached
Santiago, on the southern coast OF
Cuba.
Our fighting fleet under Admiral
Sampson hurried and formed strong
blockade around the narrow entrance
of the harbor. At the same time
General Shafter got orders to trans
port his troops to Santiago.
The Spanish could not hold the
city, so Admiral Cervera was ad-
vised to take his squadron and try
to break through the lines.
Cervera was in no condition TO
fight, for his ships were neglected
and iu-equipped. He succeeded in es-
Gaping but the American ships closed
in on him and his ships were driven
upon the rocks and destroyed.
Before long Santiago surrendered,
which was fortunate, because disease
had stricken the American army and
navy.
On August -. 1898, armistice was
signed.

officer and then rebelled against Ma
the Menocal-Mendieta rebellions and in
apprehending, killing and jailing hun
dreds of other revolucionados. But
neither bribery, trickery nor any
methods known to Machado as a master
of guerilla warfare could bring Bias in.
Played Robin Hood.
The out,awed officer chose to play the
part OF Robin Hood-a friend of the
poor an enemy of the rich-and made
sport Of the tyrant Machado's hench-
men and soldiers. When a ring Of
troops formed around the place he was
reported to be, he disappeared among
the hills of Santa Clara Province, which
is his fastness and where he knows
every trail and cave and jungle screen.
Bias recruited his band from among
the adventurous youth of the region
who admired his prowess and fam
boyant. dexterous leadership. 1t Is said
he never had more than a hundred to-
gether at once. When they descended
in q body for a foray on the plains OF
Carnaguey to surprise an army garrison
or collect tribute and supplies they
separated into small groups as soon as
pursuit began and sought their hideouts
in the hills, later to mobilize for another
adventure.
Confident of his cunning and of his
ability to see the other fellow first. Bias
thumbed his nose with a sardonic grin
for years at Machado. He boasted that
every one of his men had accounted for
half dozen of Machado's soldiers, and
said the more soldiers that were sent
against him the easier it was to see
,;,,v ,of hnyv n.
bush. If the chase became tco' warm,
his men might hide their rifles and
masquerade as civilian spectators.
AS a story runs, he once sent mes
sage to the army commander Of pur-
suing column that it was going In the
wrong direction. He explained he had
doubled back on it and was 20 miles
in its rear. But he did not mention
where he would be when the column
arrived at his present location.
Officers Like Bias.
Finally Machado gave up trying to
catch him and let him play Robin Hood
and hide-and-Seek between the hills and
the plains.
After Machado was overthrown Bias
came to Havana and was much in evi-
dence with his rolling shoulders and
grand talk as he strode along with a
number of braves in his wake. Then
he returned to Santa Clara for spell
in rest billets. Former Sergt. Batista,
now chief of staff. saw him as just the
type he needed after the sargeants' and
students revolt and made him colonel.
But Col. Bias had his own idea about
his part in the Cuba of student ideals
and returned to his old habits.
He would hardly remain in the towns
or camp in the open country where
the sugar cane is barely knee high.
Presumably he is back in the hills with
the nucleus of a revolutionary group
for which he has broader ambitions
than under Machado.
Bias is one former sergeant who at
the present moment has a warm place
in the hearts of the deposed army
officers besieged at the Hotel National.

FEAR
OF POISON RELATED
Suspicious of Queen AIexan-
dra, Margot Asquith Re-
calls in Memoirs.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, September 21.-The former
German Kaiser's alleged fear that the
late Queen Alexandra of England in
tended to poison him is one Of the
many stories related by the countess OF
oxford and Asquith, better known as
Margot Asquith. in book Of reminis-
cences published today.
Following the VISIT of King Edward
and Queen Alexandria to Berlin In
1909. Mrs. Asquith, as the author then
was known, asked the queen what she
had discussed with the Kaiser during
meals. 1.-The Kaiser ate SO little" the
queen replied, that one day said 10
him: You work and worry-Why don
you eat? Eating is good for the brains.
Looking affronted the Kaiser said
you find me stupid" Then the queen
described how she made little TWIST
with her fingers in front of the Kaiser's
face saying. well what about all this
kidoodle over your navy?"
Poison Fear Explained.
The Kaiser, the queen added, ap-
peared to take this IN good part.
! But the poisoning fear comes in here,
where according to the "reminiscences.
Queen Alexandra maintained she gave
the Kaiser a box of meat lozenges to
stimulate his appetite. They were in
spected by the Kaiser and a doctor.
Stupid man." exclaimed the queen to
Mrs. Asuuith. He thought wanted to
poison him"
The writer recalls another conversa-
ton with Queen Alexandra concerning
King Edwards terrier, Caesar, which
followed his hearse at the kings fu-
neral Poor little dog" said Mrs. As
quith to the queen. His devotion to
the king madam, touched every spec
tator."
"Horrid little dog" replied the queen.
"He never went near my poor husband
when he was i'll.
Her Views Of Leaders.
The countess passes some judgments
on present-day leaders: "Baldwin's S
subtle mind and sterling character are
the greatest asset the Conservatives
possess today" in reference to Stanley
Baldwin, the Conservative party leader.

George thought him the most nimble-
minded, spontaneous and fascinating
man I had ever met. and now that

stop publication until conditions are
better. It is possible that Havana
will have no morning editions for some
time except q small four-page paper
in English.
Reds More Aggressive.
In the meantime the Communists
have become more aggressive and con-
servative elements more alarmed.
The Communist party established two
new headquarters, one in the offices Of
the extinct Machadistic newspaper
Heraldo de Cuba and the other in the
house of Octavio Averhof, Machado's
secretary of the treasury. Both OF
these places were looted after the army
officers revolt which overthrew Ma
chado.
The real reason why economic or
ganizations of business men consented
to Grau San Martins appeal not to
close their shops in lockout has ap-
peared. They were deferred by the
threat that if they undertook lock-
out, not only would the workers insist
on taking charge, but they might get
out of hand and loot the closed stores.
So merchants continue with their doors
open and accept agreements the Work
ers' Committees impose by force.
Executives in leading department
stores told the writer their sales are
less than half of what they were dur
ing the De Cespedes regime and de-
clared they are running up heavy losses.
They were sending word to the United
States to hold shipments on orders for
the Winter trade.
One of the leading importers with a
warehouse full of goods had done the

present conditions Reports from his
agents in the provinces showed stag

unable to move their goods or get stuff
off the docks Bakers will soon be out

of food ahead it is impossible to buy be-

They'll never get Bias" say the old
revolutionary hands All factions agree
on one thing-that Bias is true revo-
lucionado. In this respect his career
as an impeccable romantic is unique;
Bias was originally a sergeant in the
Cuban Army. He was promoted to
