THE STATE’S OLDEST NEWSPAPER (Established 1873) axe FORCIBLE AND CONVINCING | Attorney General William Langer’s expose of Townleyism at the Auditorium on Friday after- noon was forcible and convincing. Not all of the facts which Mr. Langer presented were new, but they do not suffer from repetition. No one who heard the man can doubt his sincerity, nor can anyone successfully question the authority for his statements, Had the 1,200 people who heard Mr. Langer yesterday been sitting as a jury in the case of the State of North Dakota versus Townleyism they - would have returned a verdict of “Guilty” with- out leaving their seats. : BATHING BABY Rites, there are some most elaborate, but none to compare with the ceremony carried out every Sunday morning in many, many American homes. First the temperature of the room must be de- termined and the furnace or other heating appli- ance looked to. ‘ Wie There are put at hand towels of an almost sac- red character; other paraphernalia, and the mini- ature royal tub is filled with water nicely heated. Tha high priestess surveys the scene, satisfies herself that all is in order. and then—then there is the advent of a Personage. He is appropriately solemn; he betrays neither approval nor disapproval and submits with reser- vations to what follows. Woe betide the house- hold if anything goes amiss. His Majesty, the Baby, is quick to notify all the world if alight dis-|° pleases him. But if things are as they should be, he is no less ready to express his satisfaction. In that event what chortles! What crowings ac- company the splashing! Dressing sometimes is difficult and perhaps may disturb the general serenity, but all is well again as gurglings, delightfully frank, bespeak the grastronomic operation. Then: “Sssh! He’s asleep!” OVERNOURISHED? There is such a thing as over-nutrition. It con- sists in eating more than sufficient of the foods one likes, the dishes that tickle the palate. Over- nutrition is often as deadly as malnutrition. Denmark is a cleanly, intelligent, fairly pros- perous country, a counterpart on a small scale of the United States in many ways. The Danish death rate now is considerably lower thag the American although they were about the same be- fore the war. The land of, the Danes was an early victim. of the conflict that raged’ all around her and her food supply was gradually depleted until, during the year October 1, 1917-October 1, 1918, the food restrictions became very severe. To make grain go farthest, the Danish govern- ment compelled ‘flour makers to use the whole berry. The food administration gave great attention to the growing of vegetables so that the people had plenty of green stuff that year. Little grain food was fed to livestock, so that meat in Denmark in 1917-1918 was scarce and ex-| pensive. The Danes, therefore, lived largely on whole! grain bread and vegetables and— The death rate for that year was 9.9 per thou- sand! The lowest in all the world and: in all his- tory, so far as a search of available records indi- cates. Take a lesson from Denmark! ‘ HENS AND EGGS The old question about which came first, the hen or the egg,)was answered some time ago by biologists. who decided that the egg started it. Now, one goes further. : He says the hen does not even'create the egg in turn, but that eggs contain the cells from which new eggs are created. Tha hen merely is an in- cident in the cycle from egg to egg. That argument is set forth by Dr. Edwin Grant Conklin, professor of biology at Princeton uni- versity, : Those who keep chickens will follow him part way, at least. They will agree that in a distress- ing number of instances hens do not produce eggs BISMARCK DAILY TRIBUNE and nothing can make them do it. Neither threats nor inducements, persuasions, arguments, promises, reproaches or pepper in their expensive feed! TURKISH BATH The European victors have decided to permit, the Turks to keep Constantinople. None of the powers wants to see a rival in possession of the ancient gateway between east and west. There- fore, the sultan is to be given another chance, un- less America wishes to take charge. : The United States can have the job of city man- ager of Constantinople for the asking. ’ Nobody in Europe would suspect Unele Sam of seeking to |line his pockets’ at the Golden Horn. Hence, ev- erybody wants Uncle to step across and do to Con- stantinople what he did to Havana, Panama and o Manila. The Europeans hope some day America will see the idea from their standpoint. Otherwise, Con- stantinople must continue accumulating its cen- turies of dirt. The cleaning up would be only a boy’s job for the United States. Uncle Sam 1 could do it without knowing it was being done, and at the same time could give the Turks the first taste of good government they have ever} known.

The’ list*is rather formidable, it is true, and Forum, that it is a record-breaker. velt years: 4 No. of changes Wilson Roosevelt Secretary of state 2 2 Secretary of treasury. 2 2 Secretary of war. 1 2 Secretary of navy 0 5 Attorney general 2 2 Postmaster General . 0 4 Secretary of interior 1 1 Secretary of agriculture. 1 0 Sceretary labor and commerce 1 2 Total iwiewmaaaeeesdecs 10 20 labor and commerce were one department, with one chief where now there are two. The Roosevelt record still stands; though as a reflection upon the Forum’s rather hasty guess that the Wilson record was the greatest in half'a century, it should be added that there were eigh- teen cabinet changes in Grant’s eight years in the presidency.—Duluth Herald. FAIR ONLY HALF THE TIME “Duly elected legislators are not allowed to take their seats because of political beliefs.”—Gov- ernor Frazier in his Sunday, night speech here.

Following is a comparative list of cabinet changes made dur- ing the seven Wilson years and the seven Roose- It will be observed that there have been exactly half as many cabinet changes in the seven Wilson years as there were in the seven Roosevelt years, It should be noted, not that it makes any differ- ence in this calculation except that change in- creases the likelihood of cabinet alterations, that in Roosevelt’s time the present departments of Or are you of the type of politician that is will-| { noe.
