Thompson, Dprincipal of the consolidated school at Saum writes, “Your daily and the other pa- pers we are receiving here are help- ing to form the reading habit among our pupils. Not only that, but much information on current topics is gained.” The Pioneer would like to see a reading room in every school fiouse in this neighborhood and will do all that it can to help any teachers who will start such reading rooms. Let The State Aid. The various state organizations in- terested in the anti-tuberculosis cru- #ade in Minnesota have agreed upon a program of legislation to be pre- sented to the coming legislature. Tt is agreed that the time has ar- rived for constructive work in this campaign. By means of lectures, literature, etc., the people of Minne- sota have been aroused to see the enormous losses entailed every year in this state by a preventable disease. The figures which have just been | given out for 1911 show that there were 2,456 deaths from tuberculosis! in Minnesota; were twenty- four deaths in Beltrami county, A large proportion of these persons died! while in the active period of life at a time when they could least be spared, judged both from the humanitarian and economic point of view. But the fact which is atousiugI geople to action is that the death rate“ there from tuberculosis is not declining in this state. From year to year we have practically the same number of deaths, which means that before a person dies he gives the disease, on! the average, to one other person who dies in a few years. The best information on the ques-! tion now is that in order to check tu-| berculosis there must be established of the patients where they may be given the best possible chance to recover, but, more important from the point of view of the state, where they sanatoria near the homes will not spread the disease to others. In 1909 the legislature passed a law authorizing to build for consumptives and under this law a number of coun- ties could unite to build a district in- stitution. Only two counties have; taken advantage of this law thus far, St. Louis and Ottertail; four other counties: Marshall, Itasca, Lake, and ‘Wabasha have set aside some money for sanatoria but have not felt justi- fied in building with: the funds avail- able for the purpose. So it is now proposed to amend the law in such a way as to provide state-aid for coun- counties county sanatoria ties or groups of counties establish- ing these institutions. Under such a' that more system it is confidently hoped sanatoria will become mumerous. much The State Tuberculosis association is attempting to create sentiment in faver of this program among prospec- tive legislators and other citizens all | over the state. The plan is being well received. People are generally agreed that tuberculosis has gone on un- checked too long already. Repartee. A perspicacious young man, passing . where an old colored man was busy getting fire to the dead grass in a meadow, accosted him thus: s “Don’t do that, Uncle Eb, don’t do that!” “Why so, sah, why so?” “You will make that meadow ad black as you are.” “Never mind dat, sah, never mind dat! Dat grass will all grow out an’ be as green as you is!”—Judge. Sappley—I hope able to pass an evening at your house.

Husband—You were not so late as usual today. Wife—No; the meeting of the Sock ety for the Emancipation of Women from the Thralldom of Men had to be postponed. Husband—What was the matter? Wife—One of the members came in , with a hobble skirt on, and we all rushed out to buy one.

HORRIBLE. “1 had such a horrible dream iight,” she said. “It was about you, dear.” “Well, never mind, little girl” he |replied. “Dreams go by contraries ‘you know. What did you dream?” “Oh, it was awful. 1 dreamed you iwere attracting a whole ‘'lot of atten: tion.” . . “I dont see,anything awful aboui that: I shouM think you would be i.glad to have me attract a whole lot/ of attention.” “Why, Harry!

With so much grippe prevalent this winter a few words of advice regard- ting its cause and treatment will not be out-of place. 3 Grippe is an infectious disease easily taken when the system is in a tired or run-down condition. The best means of prevention are ito keep the blood in good healthy { condition, and if the system gets into ia weak, run-down condition, take Vi- inol, our delicious cod liver and iron tonic. A lady from Long Branch, N. J., says: “Grippe left me in a nervous, weakened, run-down condition. After taking three bottles of Vinol I am better and stronger than I have been for years, and I cheerfully recom- mend Vinol to all who have suffered from the grippe and need strength.” (Name furnished on request.) We have never sold in our store such a valuable strength creator and health restorer for the convalescent, teh weak and run-down as Vinol, and your money will be returned if it does not do all we claim for it.

Must we kill all our pets? A Cinch, “Talking about trying it on the dog, ‘there is one job a theatrical manager in England must covet.” “Which job?” “Master of the hounds.” A Testimonial. “I admire that old plug of a car you gold me, Dubbs,” said Winkletop sar- castically. “It shows such admirable self-control.” “What do you mean by that?” re- torted Dubbs, scenting trouble. “Why, as you said when you in- duced me to buy it, it can go 75 miles gn hour, but it won’t,” said Winkleton. —Judge. DANGEROUS FISH TO MEET Habitat of South Amerlcan Wite: That Seems Particularly Fond of the Human Body. Probably .one of the most dangerous and least known of man’s watery ene- mies, says the Wide World Maga- #ine, i8 the candern, or canern, a fish three to eight inches long, and guilty of the extraordinary habit of diving suddenly into the human anatomy by the most convenient channels. There are two distinct species, one eellike in appearance, blunt-headed and smooth-bodied, the other armed Wwith a sharp, bony snout, two to three inches in length, swallow-tailed, and covered from snout to tail by small barbs. It is particularly attracted by the human body, into which it dives suddenly and with great force, pro- powerful electric discharge. In the case of both types a serious surgical operation is involved; but in the case of the Beni variety the more the fish or the victim wriggles the far- ther the fish penetrates—and it can- not get back. It frequently causes death, for a surgeon is a rara avis in these wilds. I saw two cut out of a woman in | Riveralta, South America, where vic- tims are common. bloodsucker, and can be easily caught with a lump of raw meat, into which i it dives in a much similar way—the { proboscis being probably its usual i mezns of securing blood. | PR iPiIgrim Somewhat Resentful Because | He Was Misled Into Perusing an Old Magazine. | ebout,” remarked the weary looking i pilgrim with the.drab mustache, on | the car, “is thig: How does a doctor ducing a shock somewhat akin to a H The fish is a|4 | WAS DABBLING IN THE PAST|§ “Among the things I'd like to know |] Does he go around among his friends .andbuy up old ones after his friends have read 'em, 80's to get ’em cheaper?
