Death COMES TO
MEL 5 MARKUSON
OF Medicine LAKE
Pneumonia Claims Respected
Citizen and Business
Man Wednesday

Death Wednesday claimed Nels
X. Markuson, since 1919 a promin-
ent Medicine Lake business man and
one OF Sheridan county's most high
ly respected citizens.
His death occurred shortly before
Z o'clock last night here after two
weeks illness of pneumonia. He was
68 years old.
Taken III while at his desk serv-
ing as under-sheriff of Sheridan
county, an appointment he received
a year ago, his condition became
critical A heart weakened by the
ravaging illness made recovery
doubtful and for more than a week
hung to a bare thread of life with
oxygen administered with hope
that recovery would be possible.
Members of his devoted family,
were constantly at his bedside dur
ing his illness.
This morning funeral arrange
ments had not been completed.
Born In Minnesota
Nels X. Markuson was born in
Goodhue County, Minnesota, Dec.
IA, 1869, a son of farmer, Knute
Markuson.
When Nels was youth of four
teen, the family moved to Fertile,
Mimi. From Fertile he went to Han
naford, N. d., where for % years he
was engaged in the grain business
as the manager of an elevator.
Settled Here i'm 1915
In August, 1915, Mr. Markuson
came to Montana. where he contin-
ued in the grain business at Dooley,
succeeding Anderson Brothers in
that enterprise but after three years
he sold the business to become the
manager of the Farmers Elevator at
Dooley.
During his residence in Dooley,
Mr. Markuson was one of the pro-
motors of the Citizens State Bank,
becoming one OF its original stock
holders
Euteis SarSg BUSINESS
At the close of another two years,
he entered the automobile business
in association with George Epler, of
Dooley and Ray Lang, then resi-
dent of Plentywood, Mr.. Markuson
taking charge of the Medicine Lake
business firm.
From May /, 1919 to December
1886 he managed the Markuson-Ep-
ler garage at Medicine Lake. In De-
cember, 1886 he accepted the ap-
pointment of under-sheriff of this
county, and since that time success
fully served in that capacity.
Active Civic Worker
DUNG his long residence in Med
icine Lake, Mr.. Markuson was an
active civic worker. He served as
Mayor for a number of years.
Like others, be invested heavily
in land and during the depression
years was one of many to suffer re-
verses.
Nels Markuson was known as a
man of sterling character, honest,
and fair to his fellowmen.
He cast his first presidential vote
as a republican. when he supported
Benjamin Harrison, in 1892, and
since that time upheld the princip-
les and traditions of that party In
Sheridan county he was leader in
republican circles and he served as
county chairman.
His family was one of his first
concerns. His sons and daughters
were given opportunities Of splendid
educations and for that he could be
justly proud.
His wife, two sons, and two
daughters survive. The sons and
daughters are willard, Mrs. Willard
French, Lucille. all of Medicine
Lake, and DR.. Kenneth Markuson,
of st. Louis, Mo.
Today Sheridan county pays hum
BILE homage to the departed citizen.

CONTRACT BRIDGE

ors, to guard against loss to a lone
Q or ], before leading from dunn
my to finesse. The lone @ drops.
AS East has led from an S-card
suit, declarer must assume that the
Q is single.
Lead low spade. Win with
dummy's K. Note that both de-
tenders follow suit with the and
of spades. Lead the 9 Of hearts.
It will make no difference in final
results whether West ducks a low
heart, or covers the 9 with his ].
would duck, hoping that North
might credit East with having the
]. North will let the 9 hold, in
that case. East will discard low
diamond. Now North knows that
East holds, at the end Of the fourth
trick, just diamonds and 8 black
cards. North needs more light on
how the black suits are. divided.
His only way to readily discover
this is to lead dummy's- Ace of
spades. Both East and West fol-
low suit with the lowest missing
spades, leaving in doubt whether
one holds both Q-1O or each holds
one of those honors. He cannot
fulfill his contract unless he OBJ
tains the even break, so he must
lead another spade. West wins
with the @. Dummy's and East's
last spades fall. West now must
lead. North must win all seven
remaining tricks to fulfill his small
slam contract. How is West to
prevent this? He cannot do so.
He has to lead back either a heart
or a club. Either lead will give
declarer a trick not otherwise OBJ
tainable. To that trick add one
spade, one heart, two diamonds
and two clubs, all of which North
could have taken by laying down
top cards.

on the diet, or whatever it is, until
they feel some improvement, and
then they want to forget the doc
tor and the treatment.
How Diet Works
Just as astonishing is our aston
ishment at how a diet works if it
is persisted in long enough. AS doc
tors, we are often just as skeptical
as the layman about the value of
continuing on a diet. That is be-
cause we have so seldom had an
opportunity Of seeing it given a
chance. We so seldom see anyone
who follows it out over the length
Of time required.
Sometimes you find wisdom and
strength of character in the most
unexpected places. The author of
THE Art of Treatment" tells the
story of a Negro with diabetes who
had become sugar-free on a diet,
and his doctor wanted to increase
his starch allowance. The patient
said, mo, sir, boss, I'd rather eat
what I'm eatin' now. felt so
feeble and poly when I eaten bis
cults and hominy, I'd rather eat
what I'm eatin' now"
I wish I could get all the dia-
bette patients I know to under
stand that point of view. A sweet
dessert may tempt them, and they
do not seem to realize that it does
them no good at all: it goes right
through and is never used in nu-
triton. They would starve to death
on it because the body cannot
use it.
When patients give down" to
the treatment and really begin to-
use it, they invariably feel better.
Like Charles Keene's bus drivers.
''How's Jim ?" says one to the 9TH
err. ooh! Better now" is the re-
ply. "He's takin' his lotions regu-
lar now"
Some can never get up enough
resolution to take a cure at home,
no matter how simply it can be ar
ranged, and hence have to go to
san1taria or springs or speclal
health resorts. At such places,
where everyone is taking the cure,
it is hard not to fall in line. This
! is their great advantage.
