Should Edith Salt and Health: Few persons understand the thera- peutic value of salt. A little salt in one’s drinking water is ‘“good medi- cine.” Salt applications to the skin are wonderfully soothing and whole- some. There is nothing better as a wash for the throat and the nasal pas- sages to prevent or to cure catarrhal troubles than a solution of common salt in plain water—the cheapest rem- edy one can find. Many persons give their eyes a daily bath of cold salt water with satisfactory results. The Married Voice. A dramatic critic has been saying that our most accomplished players cannot reproduce on the stage the “married voice.” even when they are married. There is a peculiar domestic note—used at home—which cannot get over the footlights and was never meant for publicity.—London Chroni- cle. Genesis of the Horseshoe. It is known that the hoofs of horses were protected by boots of leather ata very early period in the world’s his- tory—at a time which at least ante- dates Pliny and Aristotle, both of whom make mention of the fact. These leather boots were sometimes studded with metal pails, but more usually worn without extra trimming, the cheapness of that commodity mak- ing it possible for the owner of the steed to “reboot’” him at any time. Irish Wit. “I never give alms to a stranger,” said old Shyster to a poor Irishwoman. “Shure, then, your honor will never relieve an angel,” was the reply.— Judge. . Condemned Unheard. From a notice in a Cornish church: “The preacher for next Sunday will be found hanging in the church porch on Saturday.”—London Punch. Cleanse the fountain if you would purify the streams.—Aleott. WILL GIVE FOOD TO POOR Salvation Army’s Christmas Kettle Placed on Third Street. On Saturday of this week the Sal- vation Army will distribute baskets of food to as many poor families of |. Bemidji as possible. Each basket is to contain chicken, potatoes, coffee, tea, sugar, milk, cranberries, corn, peas, salt, pepper, apples, bread and butter. ' Captain Veach of the Bemidji barracks, today put the annual Christmas Salvation Army kettle on Third stseet. All persons who have clothes or food of any kind and feel that they would like to help in making this Christmas a happy one for the poor may do so by telephoning the Salvation Army Headquarters, giv- ing address where the articles may be called for. Dashing into Danger. . “When 1 was younger.,” a big Broad- way tratfic cop remarked, *l used to cuss at everybody who insisted on dashing across the street in front of car or truck. 1 cuss the act still, but: not the person. Fact is, l’vq,‘learned that a majority of people just can’t help it. An approaching vehicle about to cross their path is like a red rag to a bull. It’s a sort of challenge, a dare. And the impulse to defeat its purpose can’t be controlled. There isn't any plan of action. It's a case of dash first and think afterward, and some- times, of course, the thinking is doue in a hospital, “It’s a sort of disease ot the nerves, 1 guess, because the head of a busi- ness house will do this fool thing just as quick as his errand boy will. But the cop and the driver are to blame whenever there's a miscalculation.”— New York Globe. A Strict Dramatic Censor. Vienna once possessed the strictest dramatic censor ever known in the person of Franz Hoegelin, who held that post in the Austrian capital at the beginning of the last .century. Hoegelin published a . manual for the guidance of censors. “A pair of lovers should never be allowed to appear on the stage alone. They must always be accompanied by a third person of mature years.” Marriages out of one’s class were also strictly forbidden by Hoegelin on the stage, and he quotes an instance of a play which he re- fused to pass because the author made the hero, Count Valdemar, marry a gardener's daughter. “Such misalll- ances have unfortunately been known to occur in real life, but that is no reason why they should be allowed on the stage.” be said. DONS TURNED COAT;. SANITY IS QUESTIONED Louis Manck Beltrami County Woods- man Being' Examined in Probate Court this Afternoon COMES FROM SOUTH DAKOTA Charles S Carter Files Complaint Causing Arrest of Prisoner. Louis Manck, who says his home isat Gettysl urg, Potter county, South Dakota, was brought to the city last evening from Hines, by W. C. Wood- worth of that village, and is being examineg this afternoon as to his sanity. At the county jail this morning, Manpk(‘%ave two different names, thosg of Hamilton Louis, and Louis Manck. - When asked how to spell \could ‘mot spell it, but later told ihat. | his name; he' at first said that he he is known as Louis Manck, spel- ing it in that manner. The man seems to be melancholy and this ‘was one of the causes why he was arrested. He talks but little. Charles S. Carter, the man who is making the complaint against the prisioner, discovered the man at the Rebedew’ Lake logging camp, where owing to his peculiar actions decided that he must be ‘wrong metally. -~ When gaked the way in which the man carried: on at the camp, Mr. Carter said as follows: “When I first noticed the fellow he was sitting on the edge of his bunk and had been there for 30 or 40 mioutes, he then got up and walked around the room for a few minutes then returned to his bunk, he kept repeating this, and continu- ally said that he wanted to go home, but that be had no money and could get none. The next morning he came into the eating house with his clothes on wrong side out. He bas been hanging around the camp for the past week or ten'days.” Manck is 'a German, and talks ifairly good English, although ratber hard to undérstand at times. He is always good natured and has not made any attempt to do harm. Horses For Sale. A carload of young sound horses just received from A. ]. Maltrude, Stillwater. Come and look them over. Tom Smart.

His Name In the Directory. “One funny thing 1 have learned about human nature,” said the drug store cashier. “is the habit many peo- ple have of marking their own names in the city directory. They dc that be- cause the directory is the only aiace where their names ever get into print. and it has such a fascination for them that they can’t résist calling attention to it. A funay old man whe likes to talk tells me that he has made special trips to different parts of the city just to mark his name in the directories of the neighborhood. He puts a little cross in red ink before it. I asked him what good it did. He said none possi- bly, although he is a teacher of lan- guages and may get a few calls on ac- count of that queer advertisement. But his “is_an exceptional case. Not many persons spend time and money hunting city directories, but every "tlme they "happen to-see a new one they can’t help looking ‘up their names and putting some kind of a mark around them.”—New York Sno. Mansfield’s Coaching. “Richard Manstield,” said an actress who played in his company, “was a great teacher, but terribly relentless I shall never forget a time when |1 was playing with him in ‘The First Vio- lin’ I could not, strive frantically as I would. do the thing he wanted. He was gentle at first, and then, persisting in my failure, he began to lash and whip and sting me with his words away. Im agony of impotent despera. tion I cried out: “#1 cannot! Oh, I cannot! “Mr. Mansfield threw up his hands in a gesture of relfef, and a smile play- ‘ed about his lips. *‘Why." he said sweetly, ‘you're do- ing the very thing right now. No one on earth could do it better.’ And then I knew what he meant, and those lines were a triumpb to me all that seuson.” —Detroit Free Press. 'lumll 1 thought I should have to run The Present Time. Now Is the only point of time of great moment to you. If you devote yourself to now the past will be a dream, the future a present realization. Nothing is stronger than aversion.— ‘Wycherly. “SOMEWHERE THE SUN IS SHINING BRIGHTLY.” —Briggs in Chicago Tribune. NEW BLOW IS DEALT SALOONS;TAFT HEARS ARGUMENTS FOR“LID"™ Request to Permit Bemidji Liquor Deal- ers to Continue, Pending Legal Action, Denied By Willard COURT FIGHT RENEWED JAN.' 9 At That Time Judge Spooner and At- torney McDonald Will Present Arguments for Injunction. Washington, D. C. Dec. 21.— (Daily Pioneer Special Wire Ser- vice.)—Presideut Taft discussed the Minnesota liquor situation this after- noon with representatives of the Temperence and Religious organi zations. The conference took place at 3 o’clock. § Among those present were Dr. Blair, president of the International Reform Bureau; Rev. W. S. Crafts, representative of that organization and F. H. Nicholson, legislative agent of the Anti-Saloon League of America. It was urged that liquor should be kept away from the Indian at all bazzards and that if state officers failed to inforce the law in this re- gard, the federal government would be justified in resorting to extreme measures' such as are contemplated in the Ballinger order. Twelve saloons are doing business in Bemidji despite the determination of the Indian Bureau of the Depart- ment of the Interior to enforce the Indian treaty of 1855. The restraining order prayed for by Judge Spooner in Federal court at Minneapolis, yesterday afternoon, was denied by United States District Judge Williard. This leaves the saloons now open in Bemidji doing business at their own risk as they apparently have no legal protection However, arguments wil! be made in Federal court on January 9, on the request for a temporary injunct- 100, Neither Judge Spooner nor Attor- ney E. E. McDonald, who went to the Twin Cities Monday night, have returaed. = Attorney John Gibbons, represent- ing a few of the liquor dealers not included in the originial injunction proceedings, and whose places of business are closed, was in Minne- apolis yesterday afternoon and was present at the proceedings before Judge Willard. Mr. Gibbons who re- turned this morning, said; “It was shortly aftér 2 p. m. when Judge Spooner and Attorney Mc- Donald appeared before Judge Williard in the U. S. District Court; the government was represented by United States District Attorney C. P. Houpt. Special Agent Coggeshall also was present. “Judge Spooner made application for a restraining order to permit the saloons here to continue in business antil such time as a motion for a temporary injunction could be heard, *‘Judge Spooner presented an able argument in favor of the restraining order. He also read a prepared bill of complaint the document being made up of thirty typewritten pages, and it took more than an hour’s time for Judge Spooner to preseant it. “Judge Williard appeared to have no doubt as to his duty and without hesitation, denied the application for the restraining order. His only remarks were “Under the showing I cannot see my way clear to granta ‘| restrajning order.” Mr. Gibbons took no partin the [Continued on Page 5] i ]
