rather than subtract from the number
of things she's over-fastidious about.
BY all this picayune irritation, she just
so limits her enjoyment of life. If she
isn't careful, she'll turn into one of
those adults who can hardly eat in a
restaurant, for thinking of all the
careless fingers that have handled her
drinking glass, who sends back her
steak because it's underdone, or who
complains about the mattress of every
hotel she stops at, no matter how good
because it doesn't feel exactly like the
one she has at home!
Life is too short to waste time COM
planning about minor things that can't
be helped; little things that escape
the attention of the essentially happy
person who finds so many interesting
observations to make that there isn't
time to notice the little imperfections
and mistakes. While children need to
be taught to be dainty, and clean, and
careful about details, no mother should
over emphasize these things to the
point where a child is made over
conscious of dirt, and germs, and dis
agreeable features of existence that
can't be done away with.

NUMBER FIRES
SHOW INCREASE
Figures Reveal Fire Started
Every 21a Minutes on
Forest Land.

A total Of 33,815,1O0 acres Of forest
land were burned off in the United
States during 1888, according TO infor-
nation obtained from the U. S. forest
service. This is an area equal in size
to the state of Arkansas.
While the number of fires was con-
siderable above the average for the
five years ending in 1888. the acreage
burned and the damage resulting there
from showed a marked decrease.
One reason for the increased number
of fires was the prolonged dry spell
during the spring and summer Of 1898
Another is the improved methods Il
detecting fires that were put into use.
A fire cropped up on the average Of
every two and a half minutes.
Figures obtained from state and fed
eral forestry departments and other
governmental agencies show that there
were 232, ,229 fires during the year, or
47,020 more than in 1857 and II ,2S7
more than the 1934-38 average.
The acreage burned, however, was
624,293 below the five-year average
and the damage 81, So. .44O less than the
average during this period.

CHILDREN CAN ESCAPE
MEASLES, MUMPS, COLDS.

Yes, all three children have measles,
but at least we'll get it over with in a
hurry
A generation ago that statement
would have been sound but today most
parents know that children can escape
the so-called "children'S diseases" For
a few of these there are preventive
measures, and no child should have
diphtheria or smallpox. Scientists have
found no sure means of preventing such
diseases as measles, scarlet fever and
whooping cough. All are the result
of germs entering the nose or mouth
The most common symptoms of any
acute, infectious disease are fatigue,
irritability, listlessness or drowinesS
running nose, sore throat, loss of ap-
petite, vomiting. Common colds" be-
gin in the same way.
When any of these symptoms become
apparent, rest in bed is the best treat
ment. Keeping the child away from
others until he is better is the srlrest
way to prevent the spread of infectious
diseases.
Don't look forward to getting the
"children's diseases over with-accord-
ing to the Minnesota State Department
of Health, four times as many babies
die of measles in their first year as will
die in the next four years. Take steps
to keep the youngsters well!-(Mrs.)

WE EAT MORE WISELY
NOW THAN SO YEARS AGO.

Though grandmother may shake her
head in mute condemnation of present
day living, she shouldn't ignore the
fact that we Americans are eating bet
ter than we did so years ago. At least
that's what DR.. Hazel K. Stiebeling,
senior food economist of the Bureau of
Home Economics, Washington, D. c..
points out.
DR.. Stiebeling says that while we still
need much nutritional facts, much has
been learned through research. She
signs as evidence of improvement, that
children of immigrants are often taller
than their parents, due to better diets
in this country. American women en-
tering college today average more than
an inch taller than those of the same
age in the colleges just 80 years ago,
and the average man in eastern colleges
is reported to have increased 2 inches
in height in the last 60 years.
We get twice as much of our energy
from the protective foods A study of
diets made in 1885 showed the families
contacted bought more fats, sugars,
fruits, succulent vegetables, and milk
than did families so years ago.
DR.. Stiebeling joins with DR.. H. c.
Sherman, noted nutritionist, suggesting

THE ovER-FAsTIDIOUs CHILD.

"Mother!" whined Nella, where's
another pair of stockings? These are
too long; the toes wrinkle up and feel
horrid!"
why, Nella," said her mother, COM
ing into the room. They're just the
same size as those you wore yesterday" :"
''Wen, just the same, I won't wear
them, they're terribly uncomfortable, !"
and so saying, she went on rampage
until her mother hunted up some ether
stockings for her to wear.
When she came down to breakfast
it was the same old story. Picking up
her glass of milk, she took drink, only
to make face, and push back the glass
SO quickly it almost tipped over.
ugh! What's the matter with the
milk?" she inquired. cit must be your
imagination" said her mother. 'Tt's
the same milk you have every day."
"It doesn't taste good" pronounced
Nella, eyeing it critically.
"It looks as though Linda had poured
it out of the very top of the bottle,
and got little more cream in it than
usual" remarked her father "Go
ahead and drink it, daughter"
"You know I don't like cream! Ring
for Linda to bring me some other nilk!'
was Nella's imperious demand, 10 which
her mother finally acceded, because she
knew there'd be scene if Nella's
father decided she should drink the
milk that had already been poured.
Day after day in this household.
Nella is showing this over-c-itical be-
havior. One morning it's her dress
that has not been ironed properly;
another time she imagines there is a
worm in her lettuce; she cant bear"
lot of the wholesome foods that most
children eat; she must copy her arith-
metic paper three or four times, SC
as to have it absolutely Immaculate be-
fore handing it in.
For ten-year-old girl this is pretty
"fussy" behavior, isn't it? Whether she
has picked it up from an over critical
mother, or has learned that she gets
lot of attention by making a great
to do over all sorts of minor matters,
I don't know. But do know that she's
making lot of unhappiness for her
self, now and later. As she grows
older, she's quite likely to add to

Ely Old Timer Tells
About Air Brake Wreck

Briton Prout, one of the Ely old
timers who now resides in Virginia,
was caller in the Miner Office, Thurs
day. After looking over the Looking
Back" column of the paper that was
just coming off the press, Mr.. Prout
had some interesting comments to make
on the accident, reported in the column,
that sent D. & I. R. train into the
ditch near Two Harbors because the
air brakes wouldn't hold
The brakes, an innovation so years
ago when the mishap took place, were
being given their initial test by this
train. A passenger coach containing
officials of both the railroad and air
brake companies was attached to the
rear of the train from which observa-
tions as to the action of the brakes were
being made, Mr.. Prout said.
What these gentlemen saw was dis
astrous indeed, to say the least. The
brakes failed to hold on a grade as
the train approached TWO Harbors, and
the train took to the ditch. Someone
uncoupled the coach and stopped it
with the hand brake. A report later
circulated was that someone had tam
pered with the brakes at Soudan.
The accident, however, did not stop
the D. & I. R. from being the first
railroad in the state to equip all the
trains with air brakes, Prout said.
Mr.. Prout, who handled the drill that
uncovered ore in the Pioneer mine, said
the D. & 1. R. was the first line in
the state to equip all its engines with
electric headlights. This also was about
| so years ago.
/ A story circulated soon after as an
actual fact, he stated, had it that q
German who had a claim located on 9
curve of the road, spotted a bright
light shining into his cabin as he was
preparing for bed. The man swore he
had seen the devil and Immediately
abandoned his claim. The ''fires of hell
which had terrified him, it was told
came from the new headlight of ar
engine as it rounded the bend.
