They try to cause misunderstand- ings between the British and American peoples. They might well learn a lesson from the man- ner in which the British treat American ques- tions. Recently there was cabled over to Eng- land a lengthy account of the testimony of Ad- miral Sims in which he averred he had been told by the navy department that the United States would just as soon fight England as Germany. For the moment, reverse this and imagine what would have happened if an admiral in the British navy had testified that his chiefs had said they would just as soon fight America as Germany. Well, the Sims testimony naturally aroused the deepest interest in Great Britain, but there ley never a roar from the lion. Not a decent news- paper in England pulled any of the eagle’s tail feathers. Not a member of parliament got up in his seat and indulged in cheap blatherskite ora- tory. There is no other nation in the world with which Americans have so much in common. There is no other nation that, united with Amer- ica, can do so:much to keep the peace of the world. This is not Anglomania. It is not international snobbishness. It is simple, | cold, shard horse sense. ue : GOOD READING The garden seed catalog is like a book of poetry to one who reads it by the evening light in March. He reads the names of herbs\for-a- vegetable garden—sage and sweet, marjoram, savory,’ tara- | gon and fennel. There’s poetry; of a sort even in names of varie- ties of cabbage: Flat Dutch} Jersey Wakefield, Danish Round Head. ; The catalog tells of peas to be picked with the dew on. them, fresh for the table. It recites a list -of table joys almost unknown to the restaurant— broccoli, chives, chervil, cardoon, shallot. . There’s news in the catalog, too. A few years ago the news was of a new and more savory sweet corn called “Golden Bantam.” Now, another grower has produced a variety which has ‘the color and flavor of “Golden Ban- tam” with the greater size of ‘‘Country Gentle- man.” : : ’ | He crossed the small, yellow variety with the larger white, selected the few yellow grains from the large ears grown the first year, planted these, and kept up this process of selection’ until now the ears are all large and all golden. The one who did that is a city man, Dr. Frederick DeLue, an occulist, of Boston, Mass. d So there is adventure ag well as poetry written in the garden seed catalog. i rf PUBLIC WELFARE BISMARCK DAILY TRIBUNE “HARD-BOILED” That is what they called her. She is nearly 12. She grew up on the streets. She takes things from the neighbors’ houses. She is fond of men and boys, and sometimes she asks them to lend her money. She knows and uses language not meant for little girls.) She is quick-witted, bold and self-confident, and she can do all the things that a bright, careless child can do. ‘But on a mental examination she is found to “test at nine.” That means that, in spite of quick wit and sup- erficial brightness and two or three more years’ ~|experience, she has no more judgment than an average nine-year-old. She can do the tests that depend on memory or simply observation. She knows her surroundings in the way in which a 0 young child knows them. ‘And,yet, as she stands on the verge of womanhood and takes chances in the world with supreme self-confidence, she can- not do things that demand a little patience, and she has no idea whatever of larger relations. will recite a fable glibly, and as glibly miss the point when she is asked to explain its meaning. When she is asked to see how many words she can say in three minutes, the list is considerably shorter than one may expect from an ordinary 10-year-old, in spite of all her glibness. She imagines that “charity” means to have your ‘own way and that a “Grudge” means not to annoy. She is utterly incapable of foresight, pru- dence, reasonable consideration. She is ‘without the protection of even blind: maidenly modesty. , And yet there she stands—or, rather, plunges about—on the verge of womanhood, resisting con- trol and ready to invite disaster. —T ae, | Many doubt the ability of that aged New Or- leans boatman to cure by the laying on of hands. Bad little boys are often cured that way. The London’ Globe says Wilson is temperament- ally unfitted to give and take. He has shown abil- ity to take charge and give orders. The reason Mexico seems to have more bandits than America is because ours are known by the gentles name of profiteers. The coal strike commission is wonderfully orig- inal. It suggests raisng wages and taking it out of the consumer. . $ \ een EDITORIAL REVIEW Comments reproduced in this column may or may not express the opinions of The Tribune. They are pre- sented here in order chat our readers may have hoth sides of important issues which aré being discussed in~ the press of the day. ji ‘ WE MUST HAVE FACTS We depend on each other for our daily bread— also. for our daily mind. We do not mix sand with our flour, why should we mix untruth and preju- dice. with the elements out of which we make our daily mind? Facts are the basis of all construc- tive thinking. The privileged classes are afraid | of unfavorable facts. But facts are not accom- modating things. Wisdom consists in taking both unfavorable and favorable facts and ° distilling truth out of them. The people need, and need now, a large grist of facts—not gpinions. Give them facts, they will make their own opinions.— Henry Ford, in the Dearborn Independent. THAT DELUSION ABOUT POPULATION We observe with regret that the announcement of the census figures for Chattanooga and Knox- ville has been the cause of fist fights among the citizens of thése Tennessee cities. The discovery that Knoxville has 20,000 more population than Chattanooga led to undue jubilation and bitter re- crimination. ‘ The rivalry between neighboring cities’ over population undoubtedly: goes back further than This is the golden age of/ the rooming house keeper. Driven to it by the scarcity ‘of houses, more and more families have been forced: to seek shelter under the roofs of others. a Census supervisors declare that the population of many cities will show surprising increases in comparison to the gain in number of houses, The cost of living has played its part in this condition by causing many persons to open their houses to Toomers as an additional source of rev- enue. ‘ This isn’t a healthy or normal-condition of af- fairs. It produces overcrowding, discontent and reduced standards of living. Two families in one house can’t be as independent and ‘happy as two families in two houses. : People aren’t cheerful when their home condi- tions are unsatisfactory. Workers aren’t content- ed, even under favorable conditions of emplay- ment, when they can’t find the kind of homes they: desire. It is a condition which calls for immediate gov- ernment consideration—although it is one of the many things which are calling, but are unheard by congress. The matter of homes is a highly im- portant part of the question of public welfare. And public welfare should be the supreme law. Congress should follow Canada’s example at once and provide a system of long-time govern- ment loans for the building of houses. Home-owners are stable and contented citizens. Home-seekers aren’t. Crowded houses are bad. Every time England sends a shipment of gold to bolster up the pound, the dollar’s tail slinks a little further between his legs. Nineveh and Tyre, but it, doesn’t get a town ev- erything in the end.’ A large grouping, of indi- viduals engaged in,other than agricultural pur- suits is profitable up to a certain point. It brings cheaper water, lighting, ‘street cleaning and local transportation. But once the certain point ° is reached the reduction of cost does not balance the discomfort of congestion.’ ; In the last 20 years New York, because of its growth, has put in new water and transportation systems, each’ the greatest of: its kind.~ But it cannot be said that the individual has any more water than he had 2q years ago or.that he goes to work more comfortably. This is a far greater city than it was, so far as population and business are concerned, and we suppose ‘that,some of the 220,000 persons. who buy Interborough tickets between 8 and 9 a. m. every day take great pleasure and pride in the largeness of New York; but most of them who lived here in 1900 would. be willing to turn back the clock of years. We wonder if the citizens of Detroit who knew that town in the days of its comparatively dull beauty are genuinely proud of the fact that it has grown so yapidly that until the census man took his count nobody could guess within 50,000 of the population. We advise Chattanooga not to be envious of Knoxville for having more residents than herself. The more people the worse the housing problem nowadays. If Chattanooga could prove that, head for head, her men and women produced more than the workers of Knoxville, then Chattanooga would be the greater city.—The Sun and Herald.

Mrs. Camp- bell -has had considerabel experience in this work for the past eight years in Towa. Her. assistance in getting the bureau started promises well for the future of the organization.

Afi- er the temporary organization has been formed, the membership will hold a general meeting within the yeas. This meeting is usually held in the; fall of the year at the county scai.

The farm bureau is of such importance that the state and federal governments are furnishing funds io aid the farmers in carrrying out their program. “Every. member has.a voice in a farm bureau and contributes in the development of the bureau’s program. The state and federal governments by their financial assistance. indicate that they think farmers are the ones to direct the development of their own farms, homes and communities. “The county is mapped out into communities and the development of the bureau’s program fs carried on in each community. Among the activ ities for a farm bureau in, Burleigh county would be better livestock, more attention to -child. feeding, : proper dress in accordance with the thrift program, better arranged homes, de- velopment of boys’ and girls’ clubs, development of the home, as well as the betterment and development of A few tablets of ‘“Pape’s Diapepsin” brings relief almost as soon as they reach the stomach, . “Pape’s Diapepsin” ‘by neutralizing the acidity of the’ stomach, instantly relieves the food souring and fer- mentation which causes the misery- making gaves, heartburn, flatulence. ‘fullness, or pain in stomach and in- \testines. “Pape’s Dianepsin} helps regulate disordered stoniachs so favorite foods can ‘be eaten without causing distress.

Public’ Health Service, ——— $+ > DECAY ‘OF THE ‘TEETH Decay of the teeth, also spoken of as “dental caries”, is cauked by the actions of germs of bacteriq which Modge upon the less exposed parts of the tooth. As a result of their growl the todth structure is softened, allow- Ing the succeeding generations of bacteria to penetrate further into the tissues of the tooth. It will he noticed that decay usually begins either fa the little grdoves upon the surface’ used in chewing, but which because of their depth are uot yell scoured by the food in chewins or, else at. the point where one tootit adjoins another. This point also feils to recéive the scouring which the nfore exposed parts of @ tooth r ives, Now as the thickneas of the enamel is the same upon the side of the tovih toward the tongue or lip and upon the side, toward ‘the adjoining tecth, and as its quality is also the same, w? miy “safely conclude that if the face toward the adjoining teeth be kept as clei and well pol as are those m would be practically free, from decay. This is well assured, as bacteria will hot grow upon a polished surfac In some of the ancient skull: am ined, it was found that the surfaces which’ make contact with other teeth in the same jaw were highly polished by the slight individual motion of each tooth in its socket as hard) pressure Was brought to bear upon it and was thus rubbed against its neighbor. ANSWERED Q. What is the dose to be taken of sulphur and: wolasses? How long should it be taken and of what good is it? A. The use of sulphur and molasses dates fromthe time when it was be- lieved that the blood required “puri- fying” every sprjng. At the present time we hvlieve’ that we can accom- plish very much more by attention to a proper diet and to such hygienic measures as exercise in the open air, sleeping with windows open, regular brushing of the teeth and care of the bowels. If you will send me your name and add s, I will ve glad’ td send you a little booklet en- titled, “The Road to Health,” which will probably be better for you than any quantity of sulphur .and mo- lasses, Q, What. organ arates the fats or ifs from the water? digest? i ‘A.

If the trouble persists, you should by all means visit a good nose and throat specialist. or a dispensary, where such a specialist can be c alted. 3) So far as your husband's drowsiness is concerned. it is pos: ble that he is not getting sufficient fresh air.
