Natures Children
CATNIP (Nepeta Cataria).
By LILLIAN cox ATHEY.

A CAT on finding fresh bed OF
~. catnip goes into the most
~ profound state of ecstasy. TO
4 \ witness the antics of kitty Is
to realize what supreme happiness
your pet is enjoying. One of the first
things she does is to approach the
delectable mint cautiously, as If her
dnd might take wings: then she creeps
up to it step by step. Reaching her
goal. she abandons all the dignity she
ever possessed and wallows In the
fragrant leaves.
Perhaps in the old, old days, those
who went out along the waste places,
roadsides, neglected yards about
farms, to find the herb that was sup
posed TO be fine home remedy for
frayed nerves, took kitty along to en-
Joy 1t, too. In many parts Of the
country the Towering tops, when in
fun bloom, are still in demand and are
quoted on the drug market at 1 to

large, market for some balls, and

Onions Forecast
Milder Winter.

Fairmont-If the onion system is as
accurate this year as it was last
winter, forecasts have it that there will
be nothing ahead like the SO straight
below zero days we endured. At least,
that is what Julius Wirth's onions have
said, and they add, also, that we won't
see as much snow as last winter In
spite of all barometer indications, Julius
cleaves to his onion-inspired insight
into future weather. In order to be an
onion forecaSter, it is necessary to
follow formula faithfully. Regardless
of how carefully the onion is prepared,
the whole caboodle is worthless and
without results unless the onion is "set"
promptly at the stroke of midnight on
New Years eve. Setting the onion is
an awesome ritual. Julius takes
healthy and husky onion and lifts off
II of the cup-like layers, one for each
month. Thereupon he partially fills
each cup with salt, and results can be
determined in a few days. If the salt
Is wet, that month will be wet or
snow month. If the salt is dry, the
weather will be fine. If half the salt
is wet and the other half dry-which
often happens, Julius says, the weather
for the month will be hodge -podge.

Excitement Yearn
Leaves Girls Cold.

Ortonville-They said they wanted
excitement" but they got cold instead,
the four comely st. Paul girls, who with
total resources of one penny ran away
from home. The girls, aged Is and 16,
had seen how the "bums" roughed it
in winter as their objective. With their
financial support of one cent they pur-
chased two sticks of gum and left the
rest to fate and the generosity of who
ever they met on the road. Should
hitch hiking have been successful, they
had planned to ''hop" the freight trains
Spending the first night at Maple
PLANE, where they were given food and
lodging in restaurant, the second at
Danvers, their slow trip came to an end
when a sheriff at Ortonville threw
monkeywrench into their plans. The
girls dubbed over with enthusiasm for
the sheriff, the "grandest sheriff they
had ever met" found them cold and
shivering.

Modern Child Care
Produces Bigger Children.

School children of 1887 are taller
of fifty years ago.
This fact is cited by the Public
Health Education Committee of the
Minnesota State Medical Association as
concrete evidence Of what modern child
care has done for children of today. It
is based upon an interesting comparison
made by the United States Office of
Education recently between a study of
Boston school children in 1875 and the
children of the large cities of Maine,
Vermont, New Hampshire and Mass
achusettS made few years ago by the
United States Public Health Service.
The Boston children of the 70's were
slightly older than the children studied
by the Public Health Service and
should therefore have been a little
taller and heavier than the latter group.
The study showed, however, that to-
days children at all ages from six to
fourteen have increased markedly in
height and weight. For boys, the aver
age increase was OCT inches; for girls,
LOB inches. The average increase in
weight was las pounds for boys and
3.74 pounds for girls.
The fear, often expressed, that the
race may be enfeebled because so many
frail babies who have died in the 70's
are being saved as result of modern
medical advances in child care, is
therefore obviously without foundation.
The feeble babies are growing up with
the normal ones to a sturdier child
hood than any of them enjoyed in 1875.
The most urgent problem that faces
physicians today, according to the
bulletin, is not the protection of child
health but the preservation of adult
health after middle age so that the
lives saved from early death may con-
tinue to be comfortable and vigorous
throughout the normal span Of life.

Sharing Mugs Are
Relics of Gay COS

Winona-Days when horsy talk pre-
vailed and barbershops were strictly
mems shops, seldom, if ever, invaded by
the fair sex, were recalled here recently
when three boxes were removed from
storage in a building that was being
remodeled. Within the boxes were
shaving mugs, relics of the artistic bar
Der shop operated by John Hitzker, the
hangout of the gay blades of the gay
COS in Winona. Artistic and beautiful
designs, often indicating the profession
of the owner with the name of each
individual painted in flowery gold let
tiers, decorated each of the fancy mugs.
The rs mugs packed carefully away ir
three boxes might be used as a key to
who's who of Winona' of yesteryear.
Each had its selected and reserved
place on the shelf and beside it rested
fancy bottles of beautifully colored and
highly perfunled face lotions which
were used by the blades on state oc-
casions. Each bottle was carefully
labeled with the name of its owner. 1t
was considered extremely dangerous to
have another persons brush or shaving
mug used. On the mug belonging to
the city's lawyer was legal symbol, on
the physicians was the medical scroll,
and on the newspaperman's was the
printers rule. An old-fashioned wood
burning railroad locomotive with
large smokestack graced the mug of
pioneer railroad man and a lucky
horseshoe over the head of race horse
indicated that someone else was in
tereSted in the ponies.

Imagine driving your car with all the

You probably never would attempt it
Neither would I.
Yet, a great many drivers do this
very thing during binding snow
storm It doesn't take very long fol
snow to interfere with the efficiency of
the ordinary windshield wiper and also
to cover the side windows of the car
Winter is here and snowstorms are
upon us. Be sure that your windshield
wiper is in good condition and that the
wiper functions properly. Sometimes
the rubber becomes worn and a new
wiper is necessary. A small cost, but
it can save you considerable annoyance
and inconvenience. 1t is also a good
safety measure to see that this equip
ment is in order.
Instead of stopping a minute for
emergency cleaning Of the windshield,
many drivers will continue on their
way, trusting to luck that they won't
run into anything or anybody.
Do not depend on luck.

ATEN OFFERS
STATEMENT OF
CANDIDACY

Ira Aten. veteran director of the
Imperial Irrigation District, Thurs
day issued a formal statement OF
his candidacy which was announc-
ed late last week for director In
Division No. 2. He said:
II am announcing my candldacy
for reelection as director to I'LL
out the unexpired four year term
for which was elected two years
ago. the supreme court having
held that election unconstitutional
and void. fr
Owing to some criticism OF the
distict boards electrical program
and to clarity the legal aspect as
to the dictatorship in No. 2 and
No. 4 divisions, L feel the sporting
thing to do. is to call the election
on all of the directors and let
the people approve or disapproVe,
the electrical program. :
Il have been a member OF the
board of directors for IA years.
At the time I was elected, Boulder
Dam and All American canal legis-
lation was being strongly pressed
and l was asked to help the board
of directors secure this legislation.
My friends at that time, insisting
that it was only four year job.
I'm spite of the tremendous op-
position by electrical power in
terests of the United States, the
Boulder Dam is complete, the All
American canal well under con-
struction and fast nearing COM
pletion, together with the drops
for the hydro-power plants to be
installed along the canal. The dis
trict's power program is well uri-
derway with a going plant at
Brawley and a paying business.
| have always contended that the
big fight was at home and pos
sibly is still ahead AT present
this fight is being waged by the
power interests against the dis
trict with all the weapons at their
command. The present board has
successfully defended the district
against these attacks and as the
board majority now stands will
continue to do so. 1t is my great
est desire to remain upon this
BOARD and to help finish the job.
IF reelected, my efforts Will
be devoted towards this program
and the interests of the District
and the people who compose it.
