1886 HEALTH
RESOLUTIONS
Minnesota Doctors Predict a
Healthy Year for Those
Following Resolutions.

Following are the ten health reso-
buttons suggested by the Public Health
Education Committee of the Minnesota
State Medical Association for health
and safety and peace of mind in 1886.
The committee ventures to predict
the healthiest year on record in Min
nesota if even part of them are fol-
lowed conscientiously by Minnesotans
in 1886.
1. I will include some milk, fruit and
green vegetables in my diet every day
knowing that, no matter what else ]
eat, the inclusion of these will be q
reasonable assurance that I am getting
essential food elements for growth and
strength.
2. I will insist upon scrupulous
cleanliness in the handling, preparing
and eating of food.
g. I will not expose my friends tc
my "cold" and will take the utmost
pains, even at the risk of giving offense
to protect, particularly the children
from anybody else who exhibits cold

TYPHOID fever
Prevalent AT
ccc CAMP 3702
Affliction Under Control and
Patients in the City Are
Recovering Slowly.
TWO BOYS DIE OF DISEASE
Camp Occupied by 200 Boys
From Missouri; Well Water
Caused Epidemic.

CCC Camp No. 1902 near the Fern
berg ranger station is in quarantine,
typhoid fever having broken out among
the members. The camp is occupied by
about 200 boys from Missouri.
DR.. w. P. Greene, of the State Board
of Health, was called to conduct an in
vestigation. Tests determined that the
disease was the result of drinking water
from the well at the camp. The source
of the supply was changed to a nearby
lake, the water being chlorine treated
and the infestation was almost stopped
although the danger from typhoid car
riers is not entirely ended.
Capt. F. Kumm of Fort Smelling in
charge of the medical corps with Major
Hall of Omaha were in the city Mon
day and investigated. They also look
ed into the facilities for caring for the
patients at the detention hospital in
this city where nine of the boys from
the camp are confined.
Five registered nurses are constantly
on duty and every attention is given
patients by local physicians according
to Capt. Kumm. The detention hospi-
tai is taxed to the limit and should any
others be brought in, the cases will
need to be transferred to other hospi-
tails.
This is the first serious typhoid men
ace that has affected this section for
years. We remember early in the city
history, typhoid was common disease
among men in the woods and in the
city who secured water from wells. While

SkIERS HOLD
FIRST TOURNEY
OF THE SEASON
Brilliant Performance Given by
Local Boys at Municipal
Slide Sunday.
PLAN WINTER SPORTS DAY
Further Plans for Activities to
be Made at Local Ski Club
Meeting Monday.

Launching the first ski tournament
of the season, before a small but en-
thusiastic crowd of spectators, the Ely
Ski club offered a program at the mu-
nicipal slide Sunday, creating favor
able appeal that indicates revival OF
the winter sport SO popular at one time
in this area.
Although there were only few en-
tered in the meet, the participants
showed great promise of championship
calibre and only definite encourage
ment by local people is needed to place
Ely riders in Arrowhead tournaments
where they can prove their ability, &C
cording to Helmer Olson, president OF
the local club.
Among the outstanding senior rider;
at the meet Sunday was Joe Pryatel
local veteran. Authorities claim that his
riding form is equal to that of any
rider in the Arrowhead, but that the
local slide is too small and the landing
too short for the rider to show his
extreme ability. In Sundays perform
ance, Pryatels jumps were 80 feet, the
maximum length of the landing. Close
followers of the Ely champion were
Walter Jokela, RENO Tuomela and
Walter Matilda
Jokela seems to be very consistent
and his form in the air is thrilling
Tuomela and Mattila were the surprise
of the seniors for comparatively new
riders and with little more experience
brilliant future is predicted for them

Tinker Talks On
"Sustained Yield"

Returning to Milwaukee from the Ma
tional Capitol to end his seven years
service as Regional Forester preparatory
to taking over his new duties as Assist
and Chief of the United States Forest
Service at Washington, E. w. Tinker
states that the coming session of Con-
gress apparently will have before it some
extremely vital conservation legislation
Forest restoration and conservation,
says Mr. Tinker, "Uffer the only ray OF
hope to many distressed communities
and families The natural resources
which originally supported them have
been destroyed, and additional legiSla-
ton is necessary to meet the conditions
which have developed.
Where people depend for employ
ment upon a Sawmill, for example" Mr.
Tinker continued, "the loss of the mil
means disaster. Often that disaster car
be avoided if the Forest Service car
throw it's timber holdings together with
those of other cumberland owners anC
thus form what we foresters call 'sus-
tanned yield units Upon these units
timber can be cut under proper con-
troll continually, and employment Of
workers furnished permanently"
While a great deal has already beer
accomplished along these lines, it is the
opinion of the regional forester thai
further law is required so binding co.
operative agreements can be made be-
tween the Government and othel
cumberland owners, to insure definitel!
that cuttings on all the land, both pri
vate and government, will so be don'
that permanent production of timbe
will be guaranteed; adequate protection

While in business he made money for himself.
He succeeded in keeping his competitors from making
money.
He landed in the county with a stock of goods, and

When he went out of business he owed a large sum
of money. He settled with his creditors basis of
about 10 cents on the dollar.
His idea of business to cut the price. That is
