HEALTH INSTRUCTIONS . FOR CHILDREN ISSUED TO SCHOOL TEACHERS Crusade State-Wide to Pre- serve Vigor of Grow- . ing Youngsters A letter of instructions to- the teachers of all the schools through- out the county has been mailed by County Superintendent J. C. McGhee to each teacher, telling how to carry on the Minnesota Health crusade. Parents of the children attending the schools are also asked to aid in every way possible. \ All parents in the entire county should take note of the Minnesota Health Crusade, which is now in full swing throughout the state. The| crusade is to last fifteen weeks and can be begun at any time. There are twelve “Health Chores” to be per- . formed each day by the children and the winners will receive a handsome prize, Health Suggestions. Thejhealth chores are as follows: I washed my hands before each meal. 1 washed my face, ears, neck and cleaned my finger nails today. 1 tried to keep my pencil, fingers and everything unclean out of my mouth. I drank a glass of water before each medl. I did not drink coffee or tea. I brushed my teeth, morning and evening. I took ten slow deep breaths of fresh air. I played out of doors or with my windows open for thirty minutes to- day. : I was in bed ten hours or more last night and kept my window open. I tried to sit and stand straight to- day, to eat slowly, and to attend to my toilet at regular times. I tried to keep neat and cheerful and be helpful to others. I did not cough or sneeze without covering my nose with my handker- chief. I took a bath on each day of the week that is checked on my card. PLANT AND PRESERVE TREES One of the Most important Duties Laid Upon the Individual and the Community. Trees are nature’s prime sources of food; their fruits and nuts gave sus- tenance to the first tribes of men and are the sweetest and most nourishing of the earth’s products. ‘Trees herald the spring with glorl- ous banners of leaf and bloom; they clothe the autumn in garments of gold KING ALFONSO AT VERDUN THE 'BEMIDJ] DAILY PIONEER Bring us your clean’ cot- ton rags--no buttons, bands or woolen cloth acoepted.

Particular Reason Why Civil War Veteran Recalls Incident of His Mititary Career. An interesting story vas told by the veteran Maj. George Haven Putnam during his visit in the city last week, says the New York Times. , Major Putnam served in the Civfl war, rose to be adjutant of the 170th Regt. New York volunteers, was cap- tured at Cedar Mountain and con- fined in Libby pr:son. “I was a very small factor in the army of the North, anyway,” said Major Putnam, “and my absence from the ranks created no panic and was of very/little moment to anyone ex- cept myself.” The major went on to say that one afternoon while he was cantering along a dusty Virginia highway he passed a body of Union troops at the wayside and their major saluted him. He was but twenty-one and these attentions naturally pleased him. A little farther along he encountered an- other group of troops and this time an officer of considerably higher rank did the saluting. Later on the young adjutant dis- covered that the major was Willlam McKinley and the- officer .of higher Hayes. ‘and royal purple; bared to the win- ter’s cold, they are the harp of the winds, and they whisper the music.of the infinite spaces. . Before the earth could be peopled it was set thick with trees, and when ‘man has run his course and the race It was a good deal later, however, before he found out that he had been saluted twice in the same afternoon by men who were to become presi- dents of the nation. we know has disappeared in the com-|"" " pleteness of its mission or perishes in the destruction of its trees, the earth will spring up again with new for- ests to shelter and sustain a new race of men and beasts and birds to work out a greater destiny. Perhaps if we are wise enough to replenish our wast- ing forests and to make ourselves wor- thy of the gift of trees we may be per- mitted to accomplish that greater - destiny which the Mighty Forester, the Perfect Orchardist, the Loving Father requires in the fulfillment of his sub- lime purpose.—Clarence Ousley, Assist- ant Secretary of Agriculture. . Climbing Hydrangea. The climbing hydrangea, schizo- phragma hydrangeoides, is desirable for covering the trunks of trees, rough stone walls or similar rough surfaces where it can support itself naturally. Fatlures usually result from the im- patience of the gardener. It takes three years for the plants to, become established, then rapid progress is made, The plants prefer partial shade, but do well in the sun and are a pleasing sight during summer when covered with hundreds of blooms, The Attractive City. In a word, then, so far as I am per- sonally concerned, you will not make |your city more attractive to me by buildings, parks or monuments—what other city has not these things? But if iyou can show the heart that I know is iln your breast, if you can forget to ylook straight ahead in order to cast a ilook of friendly interest on a passing 'stranger, if you can cease to fear be- iing “done” and become inspired by the ‘deslre once in a while to show your brlcks and stones, Just to that extent 'will you do your part in‘making your lc:u:y attractivq. Oil may draw money ito Tulsa ; social exclusiveness will al- |ways make Newport and Palm Beach desimble to a limited number; the pal- 'aces of Pasadena will attract other millionaires there. But you'll prefer smoky old Pittsburgh or noisy Kansas City, or St. Joseph, or any other city ‘that shows its heart beneath the grime ‘and takes the lid off its smile.—J. Breckinridge in Twilight Hour Maga- gine. In Sanctuary. Mrs. Battleery—My husband’s lock- ed up here for wife abandonment. I ‘want to see him.
