It seems that little at- tention is being paid to this problem, but there is much for thought and :intelligent discussion. 4 Inquiry. of those “in the know” of the former days when Beltrami county cared for its paupers in a central location finds . some:who are rather inclined to favor the present system, re- miniscently recalling something about a “good graft” under the former system. However, that time is passed in Beltrami county now and the public is alive to its own interests and not afraid - to say so. Others are of the belief that the time for such a movement is not the present, although favoring the establis}_lment of a poor farm. They say that taxes are to be high this year ;md with other expenses soaring, caused by the war, they believe added burden would not be welcome and might interfere with future -work along this line. ; A new location, other than the old poor farm, is in mind when a change is‘made and new buildings will have to be erect- ed and facilities for its conduct will also have to be installed. Many think if the proposition is delayed until after the war is settled, a suitable place for the care of paupers will have no difficulty in finding favor, but scout its wisdom right now. - Some of the townships, towns, villages and cities in the county have been hit hard by the present system, not an unusual method on the part of some to ship out dependents to other parts of the county and saddle their cares on the taxpayers of their destination. Medical care and other heavy expenses have been added to taxes in various localities and not a cent of retuin from work on the part of those able to do something has been forthcoming. Sk A well equiped pauper farm, intelligently maintained and honestly managed will care for the county’s paupers at little ex- pense to all concerned and at the same time can be made to re- turn produce and stock to gradually reduce the cost all around. It will be up to the voters of Beltrami county to handle this matter at the fall election and take their personal view, which they alone can express. : —e—— LOTS OF FUN IN THE KITCHEN ~ “Kickshaw.” .« This: wasg originally a nickname for items on a French bill of fare. - It:wasn’t bestowed in compliment either. Tt is Anglo-Saxon for “quelque chose,” and some of its popular equivalants are more familiar to us, as “gimcraks,” “thingumbobs” and ‘‘dinguses.” The practice of writing menu cards in French is due to the Im- poverished by military defeat, they had to learn the art of mak- ing table delicacies out of next to nothing. Even in the humb- lest households cookery became a science, and French names for articles of diet passed into interantional currency. Eventually the French housewife found she could dispense with legerdemain in the kitchen. The name alone was enough to get by. She gave you something called ‘“Poissons au chateua de Rochfoucauld,” and you didn’t recognize it as plain fried fish. Now comes the American housewife’s charice, right here in Bemidji. 4 Our Uncle Samuel, probably at Mr. Hoover’s advice, keeps urging us to make varieties of f0od in the home kitchen which are usually made in large factories equipped with complicated machinery. For example, he gives recipes for Neufchatel and cream cheese in-No. 960 of the Farmers’ Bulletin—and it is only one outiof many. . The government tends increasingly to devote industrial plants to war purposes, and we may see food factories enrolled in bulk for national service. Here is where necessity should -teach us many ingenuities in the home circle. It is better to fight laughing than crying, and, like the heroic Frenchwoman, Ame,x:lcan housewives can make the rigors of war less severe by -learning to do clever tricks with simple things. Accomplish- ments-like these will not lose their value when peace returns. R . SOME. MORE SENSELESS PROPAGANDA. According to a newspaper dispatch, Ohio is facing a prob- lem_—that of _tl}r_eatened milk and buttermilk shortage when' national prohibition goes into effect. It is asserted that since t!xe salool_ls were ousted in Detroit, Mich., last May, consump- tmnt of milk has increased 20 per cent and buttermilk 50 per cent. : We have a sneaking suspicion that for these many years t_here ‘has: been .a drastic stringency of milk in countlgssymil- lions of homes in the nation due to the expenditure by wage 0 Let the milk and buttermilk shortage come with the exit of booze.

The time is coming when- restric- tlons on property will be even more rigid than at persent, but this will be much to the advantage of a commu- nity. It is not sufficlent merely to specify the class or cost of a building that may be erected on any one lot, nor to designate how far away from the street line it must be set. _ Restrictions should also govern the height and architecture of the build- ings on each street. Then it would be impossible to build a towering resi- dence of elephantine proportions be- slde of a beautiful little bungalow, and it would be impossile to build & house of strictly Dutch architecture. Our leading architects have developed many pleasing styles of architecture, but their whole work is frequently spoiled through the construction of a home on & street where the prevaile ing architecture is entirely’ different. There are streets in the newer sec+ tions of the city where many of the houses In a row are of the same archi« tecture, though slightly varied in con- struction, This is the most satisfac- tory plan, but of course cannot be fol- lowed out to the letter when a number of different architects and bullders are working on houses on the same street. ~Boston Transcript. Make Most of Garden. Live in the garden, if you llke, but by all means live out of the garden. Every time you take a meal out of your own garden you save the equiva- lent in other foods to be used in win- ning the war. That i3 one side of it. Every time you take a meal out of your own garden you save money— good, hard money that can used for any one of a score of things that would make the family more comfortable— or for investment in Liberty bonds, Thrift Stamps and safety. That’s tke other side. And the bed-rock bottom of it Is that you have a betfer, more whole~ some summer meal than if you had gone to market and bought a lot of meat and stuff. Make the most of the home garden. Study 1t. Maybe you already know all of the deliclous ways in which all sorts of garden truck can be prepared for the table. If you do, be a philanthroplst, Impart some of your knowledge to your, neighbor. If you do not get the information that the United States ‘department of agriculture has gathered on that sub- ject—and apply it. Weonden Shingles. To elhplnute the wooden shingle, even only in certain localities, would be about as wise a step as the elim- ination of bread and potatoes from our dally diet, is the opinion of R. S. Whit. ing, architectural engineer of the Na tional Lumber Manufacturers’ associ atior,, and H, R. Isherwood, trade rep- resentative of the association, whe have jointly published a treatise on “Why and How Wooden - Shingles Should Be Used.” ACHINGKIDNEYS We eat too much meat which clogs Kidneys; then the Back hurts. Most folks forget that the kidneys, like the bowels, get sluggish and clogged and need a flushing occasion- ally, else we have backache and dull misery in the kidney region, severe headaches, rheumatism twinges, tor- pid liver, acid stomach, sleeplessness and all sorts of bladder disorders. You simply must keep your kid- neys active and clean, and the mo- ment you feel an ache or pain in the kidney region, get about four ounces of Jad Salts from any good drug store here, take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of es and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and is harmless to flush clogged kidneys and stimulate them to normal activity. It also neutralizes the acids in the urine so it no longer irritates, thus ending bladder disorders. Jad Salts is harmless; inexpensive; makes a delightful effexvescent lithia- water drink which everybody should take now and then to keep their kid- neys clean, thus avoiding serious com- plications. A well-known local druggist says he sells lots of Jad Salts to folks who believe in overcoming kidney trouble while it is only trouble, lDULUTH SUBURB IS A MODEL Carefully Planned and Lald Out, It * Furnishes an Object Lesson for Other Communities, In Morgafi Park, a suburb of Duluth, owned and operated by a subsidiary of the United States'Steel corporation for the use and benefit of employees, the government has found food for reflec- tion with respect to town planning and housing. It 1s analyzed by Leifur Mag- nusson, a housing expert of the bureau of labor statistics, in the bureau’s monthly review, wherein Morgan Park 18 described as “an example of a mod- ern industrial suburb intended to serve as a nucleus of a permanent industry.” “It has been developed,” it seems, “in an ‘orderly and systematic manner, town-planning principles have been ob- served In its layout, educational and recreational facilitles have been pro- vided, and houses of a permanent and substantial character erected.” The latter, indeed, are of concrete, though variety has been secured and the usual monotony of company towns|ing me of avoided.

' Earth's Diameter. The earth's preatest diameter is not necessarily it the equator. - According to the ewminent Professor Henkey, the actual greatest diameter is that taken from the summit of Mount Chimbo- razo. The line drawn from this point to the opposite side on a point in Su- matra gives a diameter of 7,929 miles.

How Many Libery Bonds Ought You to Buy? You'd give fifty dollars quickly if it was all that stood between you and spending just one night plugging through mud up to your knees, with the rain beating dewn on you; the temperature just about freezing, with no place to get warm, no chance to rest, or ease your body from the grief of a heavy pack, or to get your hands off of an ice cold rifie. Yes, you’d give most all the money you have to escape just one night of that. Yet your $50, $100, $1,000 subscrip- tion to the Fourth Liberty Loan will short- en by months the nights that two million and more of American boys will spend like that. How many Liberty Bonds ought you to buy? The man with both legs shot off can say, ‘I’ve given all the legs I can.” Don’t youdare say, “I’ve bought all the Liberty Bonds I can,” until you search your soul to devise means of buying another Lib- erty Bond.
