Lo R R R R R R R R OR RO RO HEALTH HINTS FOR TODAY New Exercise For Women. A new exercise that women are going in for who wish to keep supple waists is taking movements from side to side and forward and back with the waist line as the fulerum in the manner of a pendulum. The exercise should be taken regularly for five or six min- ® utes each day, preferably in ¢ @ the morning. @ o R R IR R R IR ) POOPOOOOOOOO® POOPVOOOOOOOO Is Sam Gordon being “boomed” or “doomed” for governor? The “public cup” has been ab- olished in Illinois ag a menace to the public but Lorimer still remains. At Minneapolis a man committed suicide in order to escape the heat, but as he was a plumber we have our doubts. | Governor Eberhart apparently feels that it is going to be a bad enough summer without re-assemb- ling the legislature. Twenty-three persons attended a ball game at Duluth the other day. Perhaps this means skidoo for baseball in that city. Fairmont, Frank Day’s old home town, had an earthquake the other day for the first time since Frank elected John A. Johnson governor of Minnesota. — ‘Watermelons are selling at 75 cents each in St. Paul. Perhaps it would be nearer the truth to say that they are being offered for sale at that price. The woman mayor of Hunnewelil, Kansas, is perturbed because the men aldermen will not attend coun- cil meeting. Mrs. Mayor might try wearing a harem skirt. At Hammond, La., on Saturday, eight negroes were killed in five minutes. There would have been more but by that time the remain- ing negroes were going faster than the bullets. CARRIE NATION. Not since George Washington was a boy has there been anyone who has boosted the hatchet business quite as much as did Carrie Nation, the strong armed slayer of Kansas saloons, who has gone to join “Sock- less” Jerry Simpson and other Sun- flower state oddities as a member of the Choir Invisibile. Carrie Na- tion broke many bars and many laws but her heart was big and it beat in unison with her hatchet in behalf of the innocent victims of the liquor curse and while her methods strenuous, the “joints” of Kansas running in open defiance to the law could only be coped with by someone brave enough to start things as Carrie did When she marched up to the maho- gany counter and began to chop it to pieces, finding time to take a few licks at plate glass mirrors, shimmering glasses and bottles fil- led with illegal liquor. May her bones rest in peace. were SENATOR LORIMER AND SHERIFF HAZEN, “Think of it, Senator! A member of this body charged with the crime of bribery by men who claim to have received the money and their con- fessions published in the newspapers and that member contents himself with a brief, flippant undignified newspaper interview and otherwise remains silent. Is there a man,on this floor other than that senator against whose honor there could be raised, against whose right to a seat on this floor there could be lodged, an imputation a faction as strong as that who would not with all possible speed have hastened here at any sacrifice in order that he investigation?” These words were delivered in the United States Senate a few days ago by Senator Robert M. LaFollette of ‘Wisconsin and strangely enough, we believe, the ideas set forth have a special significance to the citizens of Beltrami county, Minnesota. But the senator said more: “I cannot understand, sir, how any man fit to be here—in short any man who is innocent—could permit such charges to be published with- out demanding a searching investi- gation by the Senate. So long as I live I am going to cherish the belief and the conviction that he is the only member of this body who would not act as soon as he could after charges had been him.” More than two weeks ago, the sheriff of Beltrami county was ac- cused of many serious things. These charges were not made by an un- known, untrustworthy, obscure pri- vate citizen but by a man honored with the office of a member of the board of county commissioners and picked for still further distinction by being chosen chairman of that honorable body. Nor were these charges confined to the bare assertions made by Chair- man Viggo Peterson. They were backed, as were the Lormier charges, with affidavits by men participating in the alleged illegal transactions. And yet Sheriff Hazen has shown no inclination to disprove ‘the charges made against him and until he does he is entitled to and will receive the same contempt that is being shown Senator Lorimer. made against THE PRICE OF CARLESSNESS* It is because Minnesota realized that nearly all the great fire dis- asters are due to carelessness that reform was brought about in this state and a new system of fire pro- tection is being enforced. Much can be done by all citizens in this work of protecting property, and that every precautlon should be taken is shown by such statistics as these, illustrating the fire losses of the past few years: Iroquois Theatre, Chicago, Dec. 30, 583 lives lost. Town Hall, Boyertown, Pa., Jan- uary 13, 1908, 200. Primary School Building, Collin- wood, Ohio, March 4, 1908, 160. Tenant Factory Building, Newark, N. J, November 26, 1910, 28, Shirtwaist Factory, Asch Building, New York City, March 25, 1911 145, Each one of these notable fire tragedies are due to individual or municipal carelessness. The factory fire at Newark, N. J. when 20 girls were killed and 50 were seriously injured , was due solely to gross carelessness in the handling of 8aso- line. The shirt waist factory in New York in March, where nearly 150 were killed, was due to a match or cigaret carelessly thrown in the mas- ses of cotton clippings which cover- ed the floor. These conspicious disasters served to call attention to the fact that a majority of all fires are equally due to carelessness of ome form or another and costs the United States $284,000,000 a year, It is time that something was done to stop the alarming waste and Bemidji can do her share if she will. —_— CP0OOOPVOOOOOOG® © Outside News Condensed. © R R R R R R R DENVER—A.
