Most of us are inactive or have a desire to be inactive at this season. But summer is the most active time of all life. Most of us are inactive to avoid heat, but heat is the very element that renders animate every cell. of creation. Some day when the thermometer is about 90 let us go out into the orchard or garden—any place where we are near the Creator. Let us look around. All our senses—seeing, hearing, feeling, smell- ing, thinking will give evidence of life—activity. The leaves and twigs are soft with new growth. The insects are flying about. The air is filled with pollen, the germ of plant creation. Blossoms are forming into fruit. The fruit is forming and casting seed. And the very soil gives forth a warm odor in its desire to produce. Every cell is life—activity. Nothing is dormant. The chances are that we—man—are the most inactive creation in the whole display. Summer is the active time of ‘man, both in mind and body. : “It is thinking time as well as doing time. But this activity does not mean all work and no play. Summer is the play time, in the open, the time of action and reaction to restore health and strength for the inactive season. - Summer is the time when all lower life stores nutrition and strength to withstand the rigors of winter. Out in the garden or orchard we will observe that no form of the many varieties exhibited there is resting. None is looking at the thermometer and complaining to its neighbor about the heat. They are too busy partaking of the heat, the source of. life. All the resting in the garden or orchard is done in winter. : Summer is the time of new birth of thought and ideas, and the time of action in their growth and development. Why should we—man—be inactive in summer, seeing that all nature is active? Let us all go out into the open this summer and think and work and play. Let us not just rest, but rather take example from the instinct of every living thing about us. Let us seek even a brief change and contrast from our shut-in, year-around occupation—in the garden—in the fields, nearest the Creator. TEETH ‘An animal with 2500 teeth—the duck-billed dinosaur. He lived in Wyoming eight million years ago, stood 45 feet high and looked like a kangaroo. See his petrified skeleton in the Amer- ican Museum of Natural History next time you visit New York. He will have more visitors—after Broadway is dry. A scientist, addressing an assemblage of long- haired men and short-haired women selects the duck-billed dinosaur as his text. He ‘points out that as man becomes more civilized, he has fewer teeth. Eventually he will lose them all. This gen- eration finds it jaws too short—not enough room for the wisdom teeth. Remember when you cut yours? Crackerbarrel philosophers of small towns used ‘to talk about digging our graves with our teeth. Either by eating too much or neglecting the masticators. Rheumatism, tuberculosis, bad blood, stomach, disorders, even insanity—fre- quently caused by unclean tecth. English marveled at our doughboys’ shining ivories. Toothbrushes are responsible for that— have much to do with the difference between ruddy-cheeked Yanks and sickly cockneys of the London slums. “Born within the Chimes”—and without. prophylaxis. Teach your children to keep their teeth clean. Tell them it will mean less castor oil, more happy play, fewer visits of doctors with bitter medicine. Dental experts examining school children say 59 per cent of them have diseased teeth and gums, the common cause of “growing pains.” Small wonder the bright lad is the exception, The toothbrush habit is recent. Even as late as 1754 the polished Lord Chesterfield had never -heard of one. The fine gentlemen of those days their mouths with arquebusade water. Like the period before bath tubs and running water, when the French perfected perfumes. They had to—to get near each other. Why do Americans have the best teeth in the world? Why did the dandified kaiser insist on an American dentist? The Indians taught us. Dr. Marshall H. Saville of Columbia university digs into ruins, discovers: Long before Columbus was born, even 1500 years ago, the Aztecs had perfected dentistry to an art. They filled cavities, made crowns and: bridge-work. Aztec dudes had conspicuous holes in their teeth filled with inlays of gold or turquoises—as perfect-fitting a job as you could get today. They left records showing that they even used coca, from which cocaine is extracted, as local anaesthetic. Many centuries later, in 1796, it was an event of much comment when Josiah Flagg, one of the first American dentists, advertised: “Transplants both live and dead Teeth, sews up Hare Lips, Ex- tracts Stumps. Lines and plumbs Teeth with vir- gin gold, Foil or Lead. Fixes gold roofs and Pal- ates and artificial Teeth, greatly assisting the pro- nunciation and the swallow. Also Chew-sticks, which are to be sold both wholesale and retail, that they may be more extensively useful. Dr. Flagg has a method to furnish those Ladies and Gentle- men or Children with artificial Teeth, Gold Gums, Roofs or Palates, that are at a distance and can- not attend personally.” j ee “GET OFF THE LINE—THIS IS A BUSY WIRE” By the Rev. Charles Stelzle The telephone is unquestionably one of the greatest booms to mankind—how men in other days ever got along without it is a constant marvel to those of us who have telephones at our elbows, ready for “instant” service. Now that “instant” is telephone advertising talk—we are ready to bless the man who made it possible to talk to friends and customers across the street-—or a thousand miles away—without leaving our chairs, but sometimes the curses for bad telephone service more than equal the bless- ings we heap upon the head of Alexander Graham ell. Probably there are some pious people who be- rather than of Prof. Bell, because it is the occa- sion of so much profanity. Of course, men don’t swear into the telephone —the company is likely to cut off your service for a week or two as a punishment—the operator merely hears remarks which ‘are intended to be cutting, although smoothly and sarcastically spoken. j The swearing is reserved for the stenographer in your office, who, by the way, quietly smiles at the show of impatience and petulance and'the lack of self-control on the part of the “bogs.” : But—when three different people snarl at you: “Get off the line—this is a busy wire,” when you’re trying to get in a business call at 9:30, in the morning, and when you aren’t at all responsible for interrupting their interesting conservations about last night’s party, or tomorrow afternoon’s baseball game, it just riles you up.a bit. rf And the temptation is strong to consign ‘Alex- ander Bell, the telephone operator, and the three busy little telephone talkers to: the - place. where telphones trouble no more—because all messages are carried by special wireless service furnished by the government—uncensored—although prob- ably there’ll be no long distance service between that place and heaven, because betwen them “there is a great gulf fixed.” And swearing makes the gulf wider. Now when you feel that way remember the advice of a very wise philosopher, who said: “A soft answer turneth away wrath”—and it will get you more than cuss words. GETTING MEASURED FOR A NEW SUIT You take off your coat and vest and you stand with arms akimbo feeling like a prize boob. The tailor tells you to stand natural, but you take a sly glance down at your waist line, which pro- trudes like the breast of a pouter-pigeon and then, instinctively you throw out your chest and deflate your well known stomach as much ‘as is humanly possible. Though the exertion pains you severely you feel yourself rewarded when the tailor says: “Well, you surely aren’t so thick around the waist line as I though when you came in here.” While the tailor is putting down the figures in his personal information book, you relax for a moment and heave a sigh of relief. When he comes back for still more data you straighten up again. Two weeks later the suit is finished. But it doesn’t fit! You angrily pounce upon the tailor. “Look here,” you yell, “it’s altogether too tight around the waist and too loose across the chest!!!” And the funny part of it is, neither you nor the tailor can understand how it happened!!! what we get out of it. There is a growing suspicion that Germany’s new form of government isn’t a reform. Heinie’s assertion that he won’t sign keeps up the record of his usual batting average in veracity. ‘The allies have definitely decided to keep food supplies out of Russia and let Lenine work out his own damnation. The boys in northern Russia would swap any amount of glory for a view of Archangel from the wore wigs and oiled their hair, but had to fumigate rear end of an out-bound steamer. lieve that the telephone is an invention of the devil |. Let them divide the spoils. Jt doesn’t matter). ‘ AS ITALY WOULD HAVE IT WOULD YOU MAKE A 60,000 FRENCH GOOD FATHER? KIDDIES GIVING YOU A CHANCE TO PROVE CLASS One of the most appealing of the after-the-war campaigns. will be launched this month, asking for fos- ter parents for 60,000 little war or- phans of France. Mrs. Walter S. Brewster, wife»of the Roumanian consul to Chicago, chairman of the Chicago committee and vice president of the national committee of The Fatherless Children of France, has charge of the promotion of this cam- paign. Mrs. Brewster has just returned from a tour of investigation through the devastated regions of France, » The highest French officials pro- vided her with military escort and be- stowed upon her every courtesy dur- ing her yigit}to the war zone. She lived with the appalling conditions of these children and their mothers— she knows.that thousands of children “over there” are undernourished, starving and ficcumbing ‘% sickness. “In all.the-northern country,” says Mrs. Brewster, “there is no village untouched, and scarcely a house with a roof..,There is not a bridge that has not been dynamited, a factory that has not been ruined. The tales that are told of the boche invasion \are unthinkable—shocking. Still the people of the north tell them dispas- sionately. They have borne so much they have no energy to show excite- ment over their suffering. They are coming back into these, terrible towns as’ soon as they are allowed. They bring their possessions with them in two string bags, usually. Possibly they have enough to fill a red cotton tablecloth knotted at the corners. To Cambrai, 17,000 out of a pre-war pop- ulation of 29,000 have returned. They live ten. and twelve in a room, and many of the rooms have no roofs. “For two days we motored over this northern country before we saw a cow, a chicken or‘a horse. The county is stripped bare of everything that makes: it livable.-‘ But to the French it is still lovable. As you ride through it your pity for France is infinite. But in your mind are no words to ex- press your feelings toward Germany. There are miles and miles of grayish- brown dust where ‘were fertile farms, Pleasant villages, forests and orch- ards. About Verdun, as far as you can see, are heaps of sand, no sign of life that was, no promise of any life to come. “Here and there is a cross where some soldier, killed in the last days of the fighting, is buried. “Those who died in the frightful- ness of the earlier battles lie some- where beneath that awful heap of dust. All along this strip of dead country are soldiers’ graves, singly in the middle of plowed fields, in groups along the roads, or row after row in some field cemetery. The fath- ers of many of the little children for whom we are seeking to care are buried there, and more have left no trace.’ Every day of her stay in’the war l= ———_______CCC-—__—* LEMON JUICE FOR FRECKLES Girls! Make Beauty Lotion for a Few Cents—Try It! —————-—-——_ J . Squeeze the juice-of two lemons in- to a bottle containing three ounces of orchard white, shake well,.and you have a quarter pint of the best freckle and tan lotion, and complexion beauti- fier, at very, very small cost. Your grocer has the lemons and any drug store or toilet counter will supply three ounces of orchard white for a few cents. Massage this sweetly fra- grant lotion into the face, neck arms and hands each day and soe how fleckles and blemishes disappear and how clear, soft and sory-white the skin becomes. Yes! It is harmless and never irritates. zone it was made vividly clear to Mrs. Brewster that “we must work harder and faster than ever before,” for thousands of children are perish- ing in France. Under the plan of the campaign be- ing undertaken, each American foster parent pledges ten cents a day, waich makes $3 a month, or $36.50 a year, and this added to a tiny allowance of the same amount allowed by- the French government means _ saving grace to a French child, allowing it not only to remain in its own coun- try, but with its widowed mother in- stead of in an institution. Thus are the broken remnants of the little war families kept together. Each foster parent ig put in direct touch with the child for whom she has pledged the necessary 10 cents a day, and with its mother through correspondence. Every cent subscribed goes to the child. The expenses of this philan- thropy are borne by generous friends of the organization: To adopt a ghild or to make a donation, large or small, write for information to Mrs. Walter S. Brewster, Room 634, 410 South Michigan avenue, Chicago, Ill, with whom all local chairmen of The Fath- erless Children of #rance, in every community, are co-operating, o | PEOPLE’S FORUM —) DS vf | 18 FOR A PARK. Editor Bismarck Tribune: By all means, Bismarck should have a park. I am a resideat and taxpayer of this city and will gladly welcome the tax caused by this improvement tc our fair city, and-to giv clean whole- some recreation to our yeung people, as well as afford the men and women the opportunity to while away many lonesome hours. ; The purpose of this little lecter is this. I would not be in favor of hav- ing the park placed too far out of the city, but sanction the ides to have it within the city limits. Should the park be placed too far out, the poor- er class of people will not derive the benefits to be gained, and cnly those who have autos will be benefitzel. This class of people as a rule do not crave such enjoyment for they have the means of paying for any enjoy- ment they may want. In the plans for the city park, let the Bismarck people favor the poorer class of people this time. A. READER. LABOR PARTY Editor Bismarck Tribune, Bismarck, N. D. y Dear Sir: A Farmer’s Party, a Labor Party, a Business Man’s Party, a Profes- sional Man’s Party, a Woman’s Party, a Manufacturer’s Party and so on down. the line, we will all pull like h—-and some of us are bound to get |there. « The laboring man has made more progress in trade union organization the last two years than he did for 25 years previous, and because the unions have got into a position where they can make themselves felt and recog. nized in the industrial field; they have made the other fellow understand that 'he must consider the trade union as a fact which has come to stay, it is all a matter of business, the laborer 'gets just what he is in position to demand and the laboror is not organized a 100 per cent yet, get him onganized and he gets what he goes after reasonably, by the help of his trade unions. Trade unions deal with local labor questions or labor questions independ-., ently only, therefore you can get the laborer together and join hands on -!such questions, political questions or for all the people regardless of occu- pations, therefore you can not get any single class of occupation togeth- er on such questions. We have seen where this Labor party is to be kept a separate issue from the labor union. Why is it not done so then; why not organize such party, without using the federation as a stepping stone for such purpose, why not call special meetings for this purpose alone, in- stead of taking this Labor party prop- aganda in to the trade unions, how are the trade unions to keep it separate when you mix it in the same kettle? We failed to see what a political party is going to do for the laborer. We have the Federation of Labor for the purpose of looking after our in- FRIDAY; JUNE 20,1919. terests in the political field pertaining to such questions as effect labor. We have heard this Labor party is not a. political party. If it is not a political party and it is not a trade union, we fail to see what it really is, not much of anything we believe, as we already have the Federation of Labor to look after our interest po- litically. As we said the sentiment in all in- dustrial field is today in favor of rec- ognizing union labor, and such. senti- ment is getting stronger every day, because the union movement is getting stronger by having union men going in to politics as a unionized body of men, will block instead of promote said sentiment, When a body of men organize a trade union they do so to run their oven business only, when they organ- ize a political party, they do so to run their own business and every- body else also, because a political party must be for the benefit: of all the people, therefore a one class po- litical party never was a success and never will be. We believe we have heard the ex- pression made, this Labor party is Supposed to teach the laboring man how to vote, and we have the same old trouble, a few of the smartest among us, are going to be the guar- dian, and see that the'rest of us don’t run amuck. It is this guardianship which: has killed many a good measure before, it has stirred up enemies against the old parties, the American citizens will not stand for it in the long run. _It is the same guardianship which his stirred up the opposition against the Nonpartisan league today. They started in with a people’s. platform and a very good program, but when it came to the execution of this pro- gram, or the management of the busi- ness end of said. program, such man- agement was taken out of the people’s hands and turned over to a few of the political guardians and the business end of the program has become an autocratic administration in ‘the cen- ter of a democratic ring of voters.
