This bit of history seems to have escaped the attention of a lot of lawmakers who hope, or did hope, to make prohibition unpopular by making it drastic. The American public likes it dry. Every state that has voted in moderate aridity, has, almost immediately, made more rigorous these laws, until the bone dry state of utter bless-| edness was obtained. We never knew a wet state or town to get wetter. We never knew a wide open town to begin to tone down that didn’t keep getting more sober and righteous until it was absolutely virtuous. The more drastic the prohibition laws are made, the sooner will the public accept prohibition without inner reservation. We never knew a chap to reform by gradually cutting down his daily allowance; the lad that quits, and doesn’t even hang around the old corner, is the one who stays on the straight and dusty. Years and years from now there may be revul- sion in public sentiment, and the drinking of alco- holic beverages may become popular again. No- body knows what the changing cycles may bring, but you can bet all you can scrape up that the United States will be dry during our generation, and that it will be dryer five years from today than it is today, and dryer than ever ten years hence. et judas And'the.more drastic they make the laws th more dry. advocates they will: acquire. : You see this prohibition seatiment has finally become national, and the country is going to be strong for it’ until it has been proven beyond all possible doubt a mistake; if such proof is ever forthcoming, which we doubt. ‘ And the next generation will not know what drunk means. THE POSEY °) Tf you want to put a smile on your face, if you want to get jauntiness in your step, if you-want to flout your fate with a devil-may-care, happy-go- lucky, never-a-worry-or-care attitude, put a flower in your buttonhole! You may be down at the mouth and out at the heel, you may have all the trials and tribulations in the world weighing on your shoulders, your spirits may stand at about forty degrees below zero, and you may be wishing you’d never been born, but try this scheme once—stick a flower in your buttonhole and watch yourself perk up and take notice and veer around quick to a livelier, happier frame of mind. You'll find the posey not only has a rejuve- nating, invigorating effect upon yourself but also upon your friends and acquaintances. Your old pal may have a grouch on and feel like speaking testily to you, but how can anyone speak testily to a man who feels so chipper, so gay and festive and happy as to wear a flower in his buttonhole? How can dreary gloom settle over an office when’ from the buttonhole of one of the men a saucy, impudent, dainty little flower is singing: “This is a merry, merry world and we all should be mighty happy to be in it!” Put a flower in your buttonhole today—almost any old flower will do,-even an artificial affair might do in a pinch and even help the cause along. But get a flower now and put it in your buttonhole and join the ranks of the forward-looking, happy- hearted individuals who are heartily glad to be alive. SCHOOL TEACHERS The most useful public service is that of the school teacher. That we as a public do not appreciate this is proven by the fact that we are under-paying them. In many quarters we have allowed our public funds to become of such low estate that teachers have gone for months without any pay at all. There is not a private business or institution of any sort that does not regard the meeting of its payroll as its first and most sacred obligation. * * * Many of the best teachers are being forced out of the school through our failure to meet the eco- nomic inducements of other trades and profes- sions. Recruits to the teaching profession are becom- ing alarmingly few. It is all well enough for us to talk of new and improved methods and reforms in our educational 1 (cat nella ea tutions, is dependent upon the brains and person- alities of those who comprise their human organi- zations. Our first duty to our educational system is to keep what we now have—keep it by retaining the brains and personality of those who now comprise it, and by raising their pay. And by this same act we will be recruiting more brains and personalities to enter the profes- sions for future service, and a better system. It may sound paradoxical, but the pay of teach- ers is one service in which we can afford extrava- gance. The more the pay the more brains will be re- tained and recruited into the profession, The more pay, the more the teacher can afford upon his or her training as a teacher, Let us make education our national extrava- gance! It is the one place where extravagance will be an investment. All reforms begin with education. The school teacher is the true, the basic re- former, and we cannot over-pay the school teach- er, as a profession, as an institution! It requires some imagination to see the eco- nomic wisdom of investment in public education; for the returns are not immediate—they come with the maturity of'the child, when it takes its place in full citizenship, but the returns are large, permanent and certain: ae HEALTH AND SLEEP Restful sleep makes for good digestion and straight thinking. And straight thinking and good digestion make for restful sleep—the cycle to good health is com- plete. : In other words, the proper performance of one bodily function aids in the perfection of other bodily functions. All of us sleep, but not all of us sleep restfully. We all know that some of us with very active mental and physical lives, arise after six hours sleep fully rested and ready for another strenuous day. We also know that others of us arise after eight and even ten hours. sleep more tired than when we went to bed. There has been sleep in both cases, but the latter has not been restful sleep. Broadly speaking, there are two sides to the human mind. One is the reasoning side. The other is the visualizing side, or the power to imagine. i When we sleep, the reasoning side is always dormant, but the visualizing side is either active or has thé power to become active. Dreams are the result of a dormant sense of reason and the active power to imagine—dreams draw heavily upon the energies of the whole body, varying according’ to intensity, and the result is a restless sleep, Or, there may: be a tensity of muscles during sleep, with or without dreams, but in either case it is enervating—not a restful sleep, It is directly a question of the state of the nerves. And the state of the nerves may be the state of the organs of digestion and eliminations, and the whole may be the state of the mind during the day. Any of us who live in a state of worry and anxiety, who do our work during the day in a state of excitement and on the “most-haste-less-speed” principle, cannot expect sound restful sleep during the night and even though we may sleep. Most medical authorities say that it is not the amount of sleep, but in the degree of sound restful sleep; that sound restful sleep by night is the re- sult of calmness of action and freedom of worry during the day. But calmness and freedom of worry are again a question of nerves, And nerves are a question of the general health —the proper functioning of the bodily organs, We all know, for instance, that at one time a small matter may worry us, while at another time a larger matter may fail to have any effect upon us at all. The difference is in the state of the health one time over another. D There are many points of attack in the circle of complete health, but it all has its basis in mind —thinking—in the calmness of action and modera- tion in all indulgences, including the matter of food. f Tri-partite control of railroads reminds us that triumvirates have always degenerated into dicta- torships. ce a ie A There’s not much difference between commun- ism and government ownership when the people own the government. ( Tf conservative America must communize its railways, what wonder that Lenine gets by with his theories in Russia. If Lansing, Bliss and White protested against the Shantung settlement, who put it over on them? A reactionary is a pompous old party who thinks the Ship of State will go on the rocks three seconds after the captain converses with a labor- :ing man concerning her course, OG AR wee wel Ses 1.

E. Chesak, St. Anthony, N..D.— Communicate with The Adjutant Gen? eral, Capitol, Bismarck, N. D., for, in- formation regarding ‘bonus pay to for- mer soldiers enlisting from this state. There is a bill before Congress grant- ing honorably discharged service men six month’s back pay. Because of the large drain on the nation’s finances and the belief of some congressmen ‘that this would tend to commercialize a soldier’s patriotism there seems little chance for passage. F. X. Dempsey of Raleigh, N. D., wants information about the state’s bonus to discharged service men, as he has a son who was raised in North Dakota, but who was in the east’ when the war broke out and enlisted inthe Marine corps from Pennsylvania. Mr. Dempsey writes that his son is a cor- poral in the Fifth Marines and that he was chosen out of thirty corporals to '@ | accompany General Pershing on his! European trip. We have asked Adjutant General Fraser about his claim for the $25 bonus and he suggests that the matter’ be taken up directly with him by letter addressed personally to The Adjutant General, Capitol, Bismarck, N.D.

TUESDAY NAVY DAY—BISMARCK HAS REAL TIME ‘Continued From Page One.) “gobs” the latest dance steps were shoWn to interested eyes. Governor on Hand. Then Governor Frazier introduced Ineutenant Daniel W. Sooy, who made a stirring talk on “Your Navy” not forgetting to tell his audience the many odvantages the navy afforded the growing youth in building his body, his mind and his morals. After speaking, of the great recep- tions the inland sailors had received in North Dakota and of our wonderful climate which he likened to Califor- nia’s finest, he told about the men and the boys who formed the recruiting party. When he said that the band was composed of boys, all but three being 17 years old or less, and that the band had only been playing for ten days his hearers refused to believe him, for it seemed impossible that a band, even a navy band with the advantages of navy training, could play so well as that band performed. ‘Relates War Experiences. Lieutenant Sooy then told of some of his war experiences and how the navy had changed an “idling, rich, lounge lizard into a red-blooded, two- fisted, he-man,” and how he had visit- ed portions of every nation’s fleet dur- ing the war and found that man for man and ship for ship the Amreican navy was the finest of them all and if need be could blow them all to Ger- many or some other unmentionable piace, Just to show their versatality, the re- eruiters brought with them the first “aero-flivver” ever seen here, but be- cause of the weather it could not be flewn, so the sailors said. It was placed in the Northern Pacific park where it was viewed by large crowds all of the time. Not being satisfied with this, the navy distributed hundreds of copies of its jiublication “The Navy Recruiter” which the men publish themselves and issue daily. They claim it is the only traveling newspaper in the world. And Sailor Ed. F, Christman made passers- by interested with his two-minute sketckes of many people of the city as they passed in front of him. Hardly any of them knew he was doing it. The recruiting party left Bismarck this morning for Jamestown. Tribune Want Adg bring results, WEDNESDAY, AUG. 13. 1919! ALL OF HER LIFE Mrs. Edwards Has Galned Fourteen ‘Pounds by Taking Tanlac. “T weigh just fourteen pounds more than I did when I commenced taking Tanlac a short time ago, and my troubles have been completely over- come,” said Mrs. Nancy Edwards, who lives at 5620 East 12th Street, Kansas City, Mo., while talking to a Tanlac representative the other day. “About two years ago,” continued Mrs. Edwards, “I began to have stom- ach trouble, and unt!l I commenced taking Tanlac, my condition had grad- ually grown worse all the time. In faci, I had reached the point where I was so weak and run down that l was hardly able to get about, Everything I ate disagreed with me, and the gas that formed from sour, undigested food, would make me miserable for hours at a time. I would have rag- ing headaches nearly every day, and was so nervous all the time that the least noise would upset me, and when night came on it was a hard matter for me to get off to sleep. I often had such bad dizzy spells that I could hardly stand on my feet. The differ- ent medicines: and treatments I tried didn’t do me any good at all. “My daughter had been taking Tan- lac, and it had done her so much good that I decided to give ii a trial myself, and I can honestly state that ‘by the ‘| time I had finished my first bottle I was feeling like a different person. Well, I just kept on getting better, and now since taking three or four bottles of Tanlac, I am enjoying the best of health in every way. I never had a better appetite, and what I eat agrees with me perfectly, and I never trouble of any kind. The nervousness has left, and 1 get plenty of good sound sleep every night, and I have gained so much in. weight and strength that I can do all my house- work without the least trouble. Those awful’ headaches are gone, tod, and that alone would make me praise Tan- lac the longest day I live.” Tanlac is sold in Bismarck by Jos. Breslow; in Driscoll by N. D. and J. H. Marrette and in Wing by F. P. Ho- man. —Advt. DONNELLY HEADS N. P., SAYS RUMOR AROUND ST. PAUL President Jule M. Hanna- ford, Is.

Federal Manager Jule M. Hanna- ford. will accept the ciairmanship of the board of directors, but will re- tain his residence in St. Paul, con- trary to the usual procedure, it was stated, ‘Donnelly Young Lawyer. Mir. Donnelly is head of the Fed- eral legal department of the North- ern Pacific. He was assistant to Gen- eral Counsel C. W. Bunn in 1917, when appointed general solicitor o: the corporation. The election of Mr. Donnelly to the Presidency of the railway is a move similar to that which gave the presi- dency of the Burlington to Hale Hold- en. Both are young men. Both men rank high in the railway legal pro- fession and frequently appeared be- fore the Interstate Commerce com- mission and other government bodies, Slade is Said to Have Declined. Teliable reports recently have been persistent that “Mr. Hannaford had decided to retire from 4ctive man- agement .of the Northern Pacific. The election of Mr. Donnelly is stated to have been decided on pfter Colonel George T. Slade, former operating vice-president declined the presidency. Colonel Slade recently announced his resignation to enter other business. Mr. Donnelly ¢hen seen denied all knowledge of anv yove to make him president of the Northern Pacific. “It looks to me to be the wildest kind of a guess,” said Mr. Donnelly, “and certainly (Mr. Hannaford should ‘be the one to make any statement. I don’t know. anything about it and I am sure it is not true.” FOUR RECRUITS ACCEPTED YESTERDAY FOR THE ARMY Lieut.-Col. T. J. Rogers, of the Aberdeen recruiting ‘station was in Bismarck yesterday and accepted four recruits from this office for the army. They were Octave M. Nolan, Glendive ; Charles Church, Richardton; James P. Moore, Hazen; and Nick Jack Gribnau of Taylor. Thomas Greybull, the full blooded Sioux, who saw considerable foreign service, was held on probation because of being married. Forres W. Dexter, 16 months in France with the navy, sign- ed up today to join the army. ON PERILS OF GIRLHOOD. ‘Notwithstanding many eounter at- tractions an audience of fully two hun- dred came to hear C, W. Arnold give his lecture “Give the Girl a Chance.” While devoting himself largely to showing the employment traps laid to attract young women he touched upon deeper reasons for the -fall of young girls. Parental neglect to give the daughter the right kind of home in- struction was, he said, at the bottom of the trouble and he emphasized the necessity of giving the child a realiz- ation of the holiness of motherhood and the dangers that confront them as they go out into the world. “AT KINTYRE Lee Hughes, son of Mr. and Mrs, W.
