First of all you must learn to “take life a little eas- r.”’ See the funny thing and the pleasant things and just for- get the others. When you have established this habit then try the daily use of olive oil about two hours after your noon meal. Take a glass of hot milk at bed- time and another in the middle of the afternoon. Do not boil the milk. Just get it hot and sip it slowly instead of drinking it down as you would cold milk. Do not forget also that you must always have - plenty of fresh air to breathe.

MAKING WAR ON THE FLY. It is wise to prevent a fly from growing up to become an adult pest carrying disease germs which threat- ens human life. Better than all the swats in the world, is to prevent these ill-mannered insects from ever becoming hatched out. A little atten- tion to the breeding places just at the Dresent time, when the flies are just beginning to show signs of life, will save tisuble later. CRUSHING THE, STANDARD OIL. When Theodore Roosevelt, as pres- ident of the United States appointed Frank B. Kellogg, the St. Paul at- torney, to go after the greatest com- bine the world has ever known, the Standard Oil, company, it looked pretty much like gending a David out to meet a Goliah. But Kellogg went to work on his fine, fat friend, the octopus, with the result that today the octopus has a leadache. A glance at just what the decision of the supreme court means, and what is to follow its opinion, give some sort of an idea as to itg over- shadowing importance. In a nutshell here is the supreme court’s decision and its effects: The supreme court holds: That the Standard Oil company is 2 monopoly in restraint of trade. That the giant corporation must be dissolved within six months. Corporations whose contracts are “not unreasonably restrictive of com- petition” are not affected. Other grelt corpamtlons whose acts may be called into question Wil be. dealt with mrding to the merits of their parucullr cases. The court was unanimous an w me mnln !eltnre ot the declslon, Justice H‘rhn élsnntln; only a8 w What John needs most of; & limitation of the appll ation of the Sherthan. anti-trustslaws - President Taft- and. eabinet will consider immediately the entire trust situation and the 'adgyublllty of pressing for a ledernl_iizcnszrraglon (A decision in the tobacco trust case, which was expected, was not announced and may be handed down on May 29, And thus the cnlamlty owlers who had the nation tight in thgr_‘, grasp of the trusts, .are awakened |- with a start. . TWO IMPORTANT TASKS | FOR VOTERS. Two important ‘duties are to be performed during the present month by voters in Bemidji. On May 23 it will be up to the public to decide as to whether the Board of Education made a wise choice in selecting the Schuch farm North of the high school building as a proper site for the de- monstration farm to be used in conr, nection with the new agricultural de- partment of the Bemidji High School. This is a. proposition. involving the welfare of pupils who seek instruc- tion here and upon the ‘shoulders of | these pupils will rest the future bur- den of getting the best that there is from our soil. It is a subject deserv- ing the closest study. -The second big problem for the people to solve is that of the proposed sale of $20,- 000 worth of bonds tc permit the paving of the downtown streets. Those who favor the paving are happy in the thought that the sale will be authorized, but such a con- clusion is by no means justified by facts, There are many who believe that the cost of paving is too great to assume by the taxpayers. In this connection, however, it is noticable that those are the ones least affected. The brunt of the expense will be borne by persons who own property along the streets to be paved, as- sessments on abutting property pay- «ng most of the cost. THE.ONE BIG ISSUE. Reciprocity, the tariff and other issues presumed. to be, of importance to the masses sink into lnsigunimuco when compared to the greater issne, - | the health of the nation. The Journal of the American Med- ical association, in its.@urrent num- ber, gives President Taft a few words and then goes on to show that the greatest medical triumphs need not be in the tropics, conquering ty- | phoid, yellow fever and leprosy, but at home. The Journal says: “It is significant, and by no means gratifying to our national pride, that President Taft, when desiring to de- monstrate the value of modern sani- ’| tary methods, was forced to draw all his illustrations ffom our island and provineial possessions. “Modern sanitary science has abol-, ished ye!low fever in Cuba, discover- ed the cause and largely controlled the ravages of hookworm anemia in Porto Rico, barred yellow fever and Chagres fever from the Canal Zone, isolated leprosy in Hawali and the Philippines and aided in the investi- gation of beriberi. “This work hag practically revo- lutionized conditions in our tropica: possessions and has enabled the Pres- ident to say that ‘in the short twelve years that we have been responsible for the health of our people in the tropical climates, we have made more progress in the discovery of methods of prevention and cure of tropical diseases than all other countries have made in the past two centuries.’ “Modern sanitary methods backed up by .intelligent and authoritative administration have indeed, worked wonders in the tropics; but what of our own country? Tuberculosis, ty- phoid, pneumonia and the appalling black plague of venereal infection still lay waste the land. They are tolerated chiefly because we are ac= customed to their presence. " “If tuberculosis were a newly dis- covered tropical disease, if typhoid fever was limited to the tropics, how horrified we would be at their rav- ages and how warmly would we ap- plaud any efforts of the national gov- ernment ‘to control . them! But through long association, we have be- come tolerant of their presence and reconciled to their destructiveness. Yet modern sanitation, if permitted, can effect as marvelous changes here as in the Canal Zone or in Havana.” Killed Under Car Wheels. . 8t.
