Soldiers Gain Weight During the Great War NCLE SAM'S soldiers grew fat during the war, gaining an average of ten pounds a man between enlistinent and ‘demobilization, according to Dr, William . Darrach, dean of the faculty of medicine at Columbia university. Dean Darrach points out that the bet- ter health strides in the army were made in spite of unfavorable condi- tions of war, and credited the achieve- ment to the marvelous development of the science of medicine and hygiene in recent years. “While we may not expect to at- tain ‘perfect health,’ we certainly are headed in that direction,” Doctor Dar- rach said. “We no longer merely are checking disease or curing and allevi- ating the ills of mankind. We are preventing them. Prevertive medicine is making tremendous strides. Vacei- nation has made smallpox a rarity; inoculation has brought typhoid under possible control; diphtheria and hookworm are taking cover; elimination ot the louse has put trench fever and typhus to rout; destruction of the mos- quito checks malaria and virtually all other contagious or infectious diseases TEN POUNDS and 11. L. B. Anderson, second vice- president of the association, also the popular butter artist at this place, went over to put in a good lick tor cream and more butter in Clear- water county and Minnesota as a whole. Mrs. Jacob Nilson, after a couple of weeks visit with relatives and friends at Hitterdal, this state, re- turned to her home in Greenwood Tuesday. Her son Selmer met her here. Sidney Churness, of éreenwood, one of the boys from here, who was along with the English and helped break the Hindenburg line in Fland- ers, returned Wednesday after a few days visit with friends and relatives at Gary, Mohnomen, Hitterdal and other points. Sidney holds as a trophy a fine large revolver of Ger- man manufacture, taken from a Ger- man officer, besides many other ar- ticles. It will also be remembered that Sidney was the boy who held the better part of the front page of the Minneapolis Tribune last summer, upon his arrival there from the Rhine, as he had won the war dog, who had accompanied his division in its wonderful, hard and savage fight- ing in Flanders, where they acted as the shock troops, and smashed the hated Hun at every turn. This dog ‘accompanied the boys in the treénches as well as when they went over the top, was gassed and wounded, re- covered, and became the real mascot of the division. The boys dressed it up in a fine blanket, presented it with honor crosses just like another war hero. When the time came for the breaking of the division lots was cast for ownership, and Sidney won. The dog was only a common dog, which appeared to have lost its people over in Belgium, came and stayed with the boys, and became their greatest pet and mascot. Upon arri- val in Minneapolis the city went wild over this new war hero, and him and Sidney had their picture taken and presented to the readers of this great daily, who again went up the top in doing honors to the happy compan- ions. Sidney was beseiged by buyers for this war hero, and. was finally in- duced to part with his friend upon the presentation of a handsome sum of money. Arthur Anderson arrived ‘here ‘Wednesday from Bemidji, where he has worked at the Markham hotel of late. Andrew Thompson, of Greenwood, marketed the largest load of wheat here this season the other day. 1t totaled over $142, and tested No. 1. Carl E. Larson, of Sinclair, was a Clearbrook visitor Wednesday. Dur- ing the last year he has conducted dozens of some of the most success- | ful sales held in this section of the country. He also succeeded in get- ting a bead on a fine buck during the first part of the hunting season. Herman Mickelson, of Clover town- ship marketed a big load of flax here ‘Wedmnesday. Herb M. Johnson and Lenny D. Parks have just shipped three car- loads of fine potatoes out from here. Two of them went to southern mar- kets, Kansas City, and probably Texas. William Erickson accom- Panied the two farthest south going car loads. ) Appreciation of the good work car- ried on and forth by Rev. A. Soren- son, of Bagley, by the members of his church there, heat them out in one large writ and badly last week to the church, which resulted in Rev. Sor- enson being presented a purse con- taining the neat sum of $110, as an esteem of the high honor and respect in which they hold their hard work- ing minister and lovable neighbor. Bagley has just organized an eight- piece orchestra, which is reported to be a classie bunch. Its members are Dr. Covey, alto; Mr. Foss, violin; Mr. Burns, drum; Andy Peterson, saxa- phone; Arthur Peterson, trombone; Jens Peterson, clarinet, and Dr. Campbell, cornet. Clearbrook will un- doubtedly soon give them a call. Carl J. Haagenson is making pre- parations to put on his first moving picture show here Saturday evening, December 13.

The business men from here, who attended the lecture at Thief River Falls a few days ago, given by W. H. Farley of the Merchants association, were Oscar A. Nelson, Victor Stol- quist, Alfred T. Nelson and Oscar Lewis. They report a fine meeting and crowded house. It was held at the Commercial club rooms. | Wide extensions of the National nonpartisan political program is ex- pected. They now figure on going into politics from the floor up, and will possibly go into county politics as well as city stuff, and expect to make a clean haul in Minnesota next year. That will help some. ©Old European Familles. The oldest family of Great Brital s suid to be the Mar family, in Scot- land, which can trace its pedigree to the year 1093. Then, too, there are the Campbells of Argyll, whose origis dates back to 1180. The Grosvenor. family, that of the duke of Westmin- ster, refers its origin to the same year that the Conqueror “came over“— 1066. The Austrian house of Hapsburg goes back farther than that, its date being 952, while the Bourbons of France proudly mention 864, as the qate of their origin. Crocodile’s Agllity. The moment that a young crocodilé breaks its shell\ it is to all intents and purposes as active as it is at any time during its life. It will make straight for the water, even if it be out of sight and a good distance off, and it will pursue its prey with eager- pess and agility during the first week of its free existence. Alcohol From Molasses. Alcohol is now made from “black strap,” a very cheap and common grade of molasses which comes from the West Indles. Blessings of Life.
