Brand Rapids Hreraa-"Review Published Every Wednesday By E. C. KILEY. TWO DOLLARS A YEAR IN ADVANCE ———— Entered at the Postoffice at Grand Rapids, Minnesota, as Second- Class Matter. THE HERALD-REVIEW IS THE Official Paper of Irasca County. RRAND RAPIDs, CoHASSET. KeEEwaTILN, NasHWaUK, HoLMan, Official Paper of U. S. District Court in Bankruptey Proceedings. Official Paper of Village of WE’RE STILL AT LARGE. Herald-Review readers may be in- terested to know the fate of the editor hereof following the “retrac> ion’”’ made last week in response to the demands of one F. W. Hill of Coleraine, who appears to have been licensed to misrepresent the tenets of the good old Methodist Episcopal church. The editor is delighted to announce that he is still enjoying life, liberty and the pursuit of happi- ness. He has not yet been arrested nor submitted to the indignity of cor- punishment at the hands of ed parson. Hill was at the ast Friday in company, scott, a “cousin Jack” the peace of Coleraine, who is reported to be the special the “meek and lowly one.” here, Hill made numerous in- s concerning the financial stand- ing of Herald-Review publisher, presumably for the purpose-of fixing the amount of damages to sue for that he might be able to collect. He is going after the Herald-Re- a business like manner, For should he get a judgment $200,000 and be able to collect $100,000, he would have his led- encumbered with that amount of “profit and which would not show up well in his rating by the agencies. And, too, he not wish to exhaust his energies by putting up a two hundred thousand dollar fight with half that sum available. How- ever, he should have dropped into the Herald-Review business office and talked the matter over with the proprietor. He would have been handed an invoice of all unexempt chattles, lands, bonds, stocks, owned and legally possessed by the offending editor, whereby he could proceed with a full knowledge of just what he was going after:.

Remarkable indeed has been the spread of prohibition legislation in re- ceutyears. It is almost as remark- able as the fact that the nation’s drink bill, in spite of all the territory Ubat has been voted ‘‘dry,’”’ shows no more decrease for last year than the financial depression could easily ac- count for. For years the American Grocer has made ita practice to gather annual statistics showing how much the coun- try pays for itsdrinks. The figures for last year, lately published, were looked for with unusual interest in order that the effects of prohibition’s sweep might be noted, When they ap- peared they showed a decrease below the figures of the year befcre; but, as the American Grocer says, ‘desirable as may be a decline in the use of liquors, we fear that the small decrease of last year is Jue more to hard times than to increased observance of temper- ance or total abstinence,” The figures show that beer drinks relatively increasing, while whisky drinking is slowly decreasing. Tais has been the showing of these statistics for several years past, and on the whole itis a very good sign leed. Beer may or may not bea food, as its makers claim, butcertain- Sfarless harmful than whisky every sepse of the word. Beer drinkiag nations are not nations of} drunkards, aud whisky drinking nat- ions are, if there is any such’ thing as a nation of drunkards. Men seldom get so drunk on beer as to beat their wives orcommit robberies and mur- ders, and they do these things every Alay on the more ardentliquors, Even ‘aang that the world would be ‘» off with any kiad of intoxi- better «cap be no doubt that beer cants, there and light wines afé ipAnively prefer- able to whisky, brandy, um, vodka, absinthe and the like. “Your before last was the year of} highest consumption of liquors in this country, when it amounted to 23.54 gallons for every man, women aad | child in the land. Last year it was 23.01, a falling off of a little more than half a gallon per capita. This decrease would easily be accounted for by the hard times, though pro- hibition may have had something to do with it. ing is yet, when it is remembered that twenty years ago the per capita coo- sumption of liquors was but 14 65, gallons. The total amount of beer consum- ed last year was the highest on record, though the estimated increase in pop- ulation was such as to reduce the per capita figures from 21.23 gallons to 20.97 gallons, a reduction ofa trifle more than a quarter of a gallon per capita. The per capita consumption of more fiery liquors fell off almost a tifth of a gallon from the year before, which isa greater relative decrease than that in the beer consumption. The estimated retail cost of ail al- coholicdrinks last year was $1,524,392, 929 as against $973,589,080 in 1899. During that period the population increased more than 17 per cent, but the estimated retail cost of drinks in- creased more than 56+ per cent. These figures do oot afford much en- couragement to the cause of temper- ance, and less to the cause of prohibi- tion. The most hopful thing about them is the evident tendency toswitch from whisky to beer, which is cleariy a move in the interests of temperance. Automobile Industry. Rel itiveto theau tomobile industry, it is stated that there will be built io this country in 1910, 200,000 machines with a value of $240,000,000, whereas in 1895 there were built but seventy machines valued at $157,500. Today privately owned cars are said to ap- proximate in number 270,000, valued at $403,000,000. By August 1, 1910. it 1s es- timated that this number will be 470, 000, valned at $640,000,000, one car for every 150 of population. There is no less than $200,000,000 of capitol invest- ed in the industry in the United States, there are over 100,000 men on the pay rolls of the factories and the annual disbursement in wagesis over $90,000,000. Furthermore, the indus- try bas not reached the high stage of its development. The boom of its greatest expansion is even now under way. Deep Breathing as a Cure. A writer in Harper’s Bazar tells of being unable to sleep because of pains from rheumatism and neuralgia. It hurt him terribly to raise or even to turn over. As a forlorn hope he tried slow and deep breathing, after which, to his astonishment, he en- joyed sound, comfortable and refresh- ing sleep. Also, there is recorded the case of a man who applied for life insurance and was rejected by the medical ex- aminer on account of small chest ex- pansion. Scared, he started on a course of deep breathing. Getting out in the open air at every oppor- tunity, he made it a practice to oc- cupy five or ten minutesdaily in in- flating and deflating his lungs. In six months he had cultivated a real chest expansion, and he made the ap- plication for, life insurance over again, this time with success. Also, he had rid himself of .much ill health, possibly warded off incipient lung trouble, and“felt much better all around. A neglected organ is likely to be- come a weak and inefficient organ, inviting the inroads of disease, Thou- sands of people don’t breath enough. The indoor worker who takes little or no physical exercise, and who has a maximum chest expansion of only one inch or two,, and that perhaps in only one way instead of all around the chest, can’t be physically well. Certainly he is not physically equip- ped to throw off the disease germs with which he may come in contact constantly. Circulation has an intimate connec- tion with lung efficiency, too; so that the person that does not use his lungs as he should is not giving his heart the exercise it needs to prepare it to withstand sudden strain also, enfeebled circulation is likely to make for enfeebled orgains; a sluggish liver, a lazy stomach, with consequences likely to be ultimately serious. In physical exercises the lungs are brought into full play, and proper breathing comes naturally. The heart is thus given wholesome exercise— provided, always, that the physical bodily exercise is not more strenuous than the condition of the system will Warrant—so that the circulation is brisk enough to carry off impurities and révivify the body. Deep breathing is good, but the best way to get it is naturally, by the way of wholesome physical ex- ercise. You can’t do better than to start in walking, which is the best and cheapest and most satisfying! all-round exercise yet invented. As you walk, fill your lungs with the splendid outdoor air, the best medi- cine on earth. Don’t overdo this deep breathing business, however. Go easy on it at the start if you haven’t been use to it. If you hold your breath too long you will find yourself getting dizzy; which shows that your lungs need exercise and that you don’t want to start in too strenuously. Take long, slow, com- Still it is a tall agers) NMECECTIVE PARE it out slowly. Do it while you walk; GRAND. RAPIDS HERALD-REVIEW WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 18, 1909. and walk every day. You can in- crease your lung expansion, add tone to your system, and feel better therefor. ’ JUNIORS DEFEAT FLOODWOOD NINE Juniors Add Another Feather to Their Collection, Defeating Floodwood—Score 5 to 2. The Grand Rapids Juniors are still playing good ball and defeated the Floodwood Juniors Sunday afternoon at the. South Side park by a score of 5 to 2. Will Whaling was on the rubber for the locals and Harold Lee was behind the pan with the basket. The locals played an errorless game and the way in which young Whal- ing put the sphere over the plate caused the visitors to swing like an ice wagon and grab at the air like they were “seein’ things.” Young Lee was in the game from start to finish and hf throws to _ second would have put the majority of the players on the regular’ team to shame and caused the Floodwood youths to become somewhat wary of attempt- ing to steal second. It should be born in mind that the Grand Rapids Junior nine is compos- ed of youths under fifteen years of age and thus far this season they have not lost a game. They hold the belt for any team of their age in northern Minnesota and are ready and willing to play any and all comers. They would particularily like to meet the Courthouse nine. Looks Good to “Doc.” It really does us good to look at the Grand Rapids Herald-Review, these days. That most’ estimable “moral family journal” is literally “filed” with legal advertisements that are printed at legal rates, and good fat “ads” are in prominent place about the paper. Really, one’s mouth waters at such signs of prosperity, all of which Br’er Kiley enjoys with becoming modesty and thankfulness. —Bemidji Pioneer. Grand Rapids Brick Are Best. M. McAlpine brought two bricks to the Herald-Review office Monday which had laid in the chimneys of the old Michigan hotel building for the last seventeen years. One was made at Renshaw, Wisconsin, while the other was a product of the Grand Rapids brick yard. The Renshaw brick was rotted through and unfit for further use while the Grand Rapids brick was in a perfect state of preservation and all the old brick will be used in the rebuilding of the chimney. This would tend to show that the home product is by far the superior article, Card of Thanks.
