el ST § BEMIDJ! BRIER, Editorial Telephone, “THREE-ONE” DORA BARRETTE, Society Eeporter To Escape Append.lmtu. A simple way to prevent ap- : : penddicitis was recently des- : : cribed by a well known physi- : : cian. Every night and morn- : : ing, he advised, go on your : : knees, bend backward until you : : sit on your heels, and at the same : : time bend the upper part of : : your body forward as far as : : possible. Do this six to tem : : times. You may vary the ex- : : ercise by standing with heels : : together and toes pointing : raight forward and then stoop- : ig into a sitting posture until : the knees touch the chest. Do : this also six or eight times slow- : ly. The effect is to stir up the : : intestine in the neighborhood : : of the vermiform appendix and : : to keep it free from the obstruc- : : tion which is the primary cause : : of appendicitis. : * The Bemidji Dancing Academy will give its weekly dance in the City Hall tomorrow evening.

In 1645 the assembly of Virginia met and declared that it “had mature- 1y weighed and considered how ad- vantageous a quoine (coin) would be to this colony and how ‘much ‘better- it would be than a sole dependency upon tobacco and pelts.” After this they provided for the coinage of cop- | per coins of the denominations of two- pence, threepence, sixpence and nine- carried into effect.

Presence of Mind That Stopped a Slide to Death. across India Major R. L. Kennion witnessed a rescue which was due to the quickness of decision and prompt action of a native. The story is given in “Sport and Life In the Farther Himalayas.” The party had started by moonlight. The cold was intense and the way slippery and uncertain. No one having crossed the pass that year, the guide took a wrong line and led us across an ice slope that was concealed by snow. The first I knew of it was seeing his dim figure begin to slide downward, first slowly, then more rapidly. We were not roped, and as his pace increased it seemed that nothing on earth could save him. Near the end of my line, however, carrying a load, was a man of Hunza, | whose quickness to grasp the situa- tion was only equaled by his resource. Dropping his load, he sprang out.on to a projecting point of rock near which the man would pass, and as he slid by with the point of his native made ice ax he gaffed him in his loose clothing as you might a salmon. It was most cleverly and promptly done. “Fixing” the Ball Grounds. Hugh S. Fullerton, the baseball ex- pert, tells in the American Magizine of the queer ethics of the national game. He writes: “‘Fixing’ the grounds so as to give the home team the advantage and handicap the visiting players is the commonest form of trickery, yet in professional ball it is not considered wrong, any more than a commander of a defensive army would consider it. wrong to prepare breastworks to meet an enemy. The extent to which the fixing of grounds is carried is amazing. There probably is not a major or minor league grounds in the country on which the home players have not the advantage, and visiting teams are forced to be on the alert from the moment they enter a field to discover, if possible, what they are up against.” Athens the Seat of Learning. It may be said unhesitatingly that the country which has produced the greatest men in literature and philos- ophy, art and architecture is Greece. In the little state of Attica—not much larger than Greater New York—trué civilization and all that goes along with it were born. All that has been done since the “age of Pericles” has been simply the carrying out of the ideas, principles and methods lald down by the men who won Marathon ton, a high authority, does not hesitate to say that Athens and the little state of which it was the capital produced more first class intellects than have since been produced by all the world put together.—New York American.

There is nothing new about the idea of using sage for restoring the color of the hair. Our great-grand- mothers kept their locks soft, dark and glossy by using a “sage “tea.” ‘Whenever their hair fell out or took on a dull, faded or streaked appear- ance they made a brew of sage leaves and applied it to their hair, with ‘wonderfully beneficial effect. - Nowadays we don’t have to resort to old-time, tiresome methods of gathering the herbs and making the: tea.

There is as great a difference be- |tween the systems of igsuing and re- deeming the notes of the Bank of Eng- land and of the banks of the United States as there is in the appearsnce of the notes themselves. The English note is somewhat longer end much broader than ours, is of pugh white paper, with ragged edges, snd is printed on one side only, With a few words and with no pictures or designs, while ours are completely cov- ered on both sides with vignette and lathe work. Our notes are issued again and again until they become so worn that they are no longer serviceable. A Bank of England note is never issued more than once. Every note that comes in is canceled at once, and then it Is stored away with other canceled notes to be preserved for a certain period, when it is destroyed by burning. It takes many clerks to keep- the record of notes issued apd paid, and so acvurately is-this--work:dome that the date when any note’' was issued, the person receiving it, the time when it was pald into’ the bank and by whom, can be ascertained from the books. If the time was within five years the note itself can be produced. Many are the stories of attempts to counterfeit these notes, which have al- ways been failures. As the average time between the issue and the pay- ment of the notes-is only five or six days the fact that a counterfeit is in circulation is'known almost at once, and the system of English bankers and merchants of keéping the numbers of the notes received and paid gives the clew whereby “the’ offender is qmcuy apprehended.—Exchange. A TIP ON" CHECKS. Advice by a Woman Who Always Fills Out the Stub First. The west side woman was paying ‘with a check for some articles she had bought at a department store, and she was carefully filling in the stub of her, check book first.” “Oh, don’t stop for that,” urged her shopping companion, ‘who was in a hurry. “You can do that when you get home.” Unmoved, the west side woman fin— ished the stub with special care, then wrote the check, gave it to the sales- man and said to her impatient friend: “Before I was married I took care of some of my father's accounts. The first time he ever asked me to fill out a set of blank checks for him so be could sign them he-told me: ‘One rule you must always observe—write the stub first. - Make a vow to yourself, like unto the vow of Jephthah, that you will never write a check until the stub is filled. - If for asy reason.you should fail later to write the check it would be a-simple matter to cancel the stub, but if you write a check and leave the stub blank you open the door to a hundred chances of mistake. No one’s memory can be trusted on| that subject. Never try to trust yours. Let the law of “the stub first” be to Persians.” perfectly easy to follow that rule, and that is one reason I have a bank ac- count today.
