For not only does it promise in the future a period ‘of great building activity which in itself would mean short- lived prosperity to the region, but it serves to emphasize athe real worth and potentialities of a big and fertile section *of' the western part of the state. The “North Line” has “ehjoyed a reputation of being “a good country.” Its cattle shipments, wheat crops and coal mines have been proof of this. j é The Northwestern railroad attorney who sees the need of two billion dollars capital for the Northwestern roads declares that in the near future many small towns will be large cities. The trend of the increasing population of the nation is ever westward; the Northwest has the greatest area of undeveloped coal and other natural resources of any section of the country. 2. The statement of President Donnelly may have been intended to bring home to the people of North Dakota and other states the big problems being faced by the railroads ‘and the necessity of strong support if the carriers are to keep apace of the development of the country. The recogni- tion of the potentialities of the Northwest should, in like ‘measure, cause the railroad heads to recognize the advant- age of fostering this development as, for example the lignite coal freight rates. YOUR HEALTH The surest way to live to a ripe old age is to get an ineur- able disease and nurse it. So said the distinguished Dr. Oliver Wendell Holmes. Joking? Not at all. He meant it. A mild malady, neglected, may develop complications ngerous and even fatal. ‘An incurable malady often can be fought and held in check for years by taking proper care of the general health. :. The body’s power of resistance is the thing to worry about, rather than any particular ailment that attacks ‘the “body. We have known many people, with one foot in the grave, who lived on and on for years though always on the verge of dying. And simply because they took such good care of themselves. :s . Few diseases are more distressing than neurasthenia — ‘which is a name given by physicians to cover a multitude of _.ailments that they cannot definitely diagnose. “ =" A neurasthenic patient is notorius for developing one een after another. Now it’s the stomach, “all shot to pieces.” Tomorrow the stomach is behaving and the heart :pplpitates. Later the heart steadies and the liver begins acting up. And soon. Through all, the neurasthenic lives :ton—because the most decided tendency of neurasthenics is the excellent care they take of themselves.’ > As a reslut, a pronounced case of neurasthenia usually/ gies of old age. ‘fonsilitis, bronchitis and‘what-not.
