THE STATE’S OLDEST NEWSPAPER (Established 1873) ERB HEALTHY THOUGH HOT These summer months bring sickness and death. Much of both is preventable. Adults vio- ‘late the most common rules and babies languish and die because of the lack of proper parental precaution. The big idea is to keep cool and be moderate in all things, going to excess in none. Eat sparing- ly. Give vegetables and fruits the shade over meats. It isn’t necessary any longer to warn against the use of alcoholic stimulants. But don’t use them, ‘even if procurable. Use cool water, rather than iced water. Lemonade is good; so is orangeade and the drink made of the lime. The‘daily bath is a wonder worker, morning and evening, is still, better. Clad yourself coolly. Be comfortable of dress. Abandon tight things. Follow the “early to bed” precept in warm weath- er. Don’t worry. Don’t fret. Don’t “get all het up” over anything. Be sane and sensible about your eating, drinking, clothing, labor and recrea- tion, and so increase your chances of “saying it with flowers” to the fellow who acts counter to these simple sentences. And wise mothers will fortify the baby against. the effects of Old Sol. Don’t overdress. The cot- ton shirt, the diaper and a slip are enough when it’s hot. Physicians say that bathing in tepid ’ water, with a little baking soda added, cools the skin, reduces irritation, induces sleep and increases resistance. Keep the flies away. Keep the baby’s food clean. Give him plenty of sleep and he’ll come out of the summer heat as well and as heal- thy as his parents if they show wisdom in caring for themselves. REGULAR BOYS It is reported from their native villages that the presidential candidates of the major parties were “just regular boys.” Neither said or did anything that marked him as an exceptional fel- low. _ If there had been a guessing contest as to which of all the boys in their respective villages would turn out to be presidential candidates, there would have been no way of telling whether they would be Warren and Jimmy or Billy and Joe. Very likely the guessers would have given up in discouragement, just because of the common notion that an exceptionally successful man must have been an exceptional boy who passed the hours poring over his books and who astonished his elders with sage remarks. : The fact is that the “regular boy” is more likely to be a well-rounded boy than the exceptional boy. Your exceptional boy generally is a spe- cialized boy, trained, or perhaps overtrained, in one direction. His very mental superiority early separates him from his fellows so that there are denied to him those opportunities for association which bring out the qualities of leadership, self-reliance, pluck, courage “to stand the gaff,” and ability to “play the game.” The “regular boy,” on the éther hand, is no hot-house flower. He is a mixer. Con- tact and hard bumps hammer him out into the all-around man. The established fact that both candidates for the presidency were “just regular boys” should be comforting to all worrying parents who, observ- . ing their boy absorbed in ordinary boy pursuits, “= wonder “whatever will become of that boy.” SY) SERS LT Ess) esbeer sana wilt te ».,, ter, and yet . n the splentid HR at le Thank goodriess, madam, he’s “just a regular’ boy.” Such fellows have the knack of making a good job of their own destinies. A broken pipe is a nuisance, but some men like a wet cellar. INHERITANCE When a lawyer speaks of “inheriting,” one thinks of lands and money. When a biologist uses the word, one thinks of characteristics like com- plexion and height or mental brightness. The first kind of inheritance is external and un- certain. The property “belongs” to the heir, but it is not a part of him, and a war, a business re- verse, or a change of law may sweep it away. The second kind of heritage belongs to the heir by his very birth, and it is so much a part of him- self that all the effort in the world cannot change it. If children are born at all, they have to in- herit what is in the blood, and no one can give them either more or less. The parent is helpless to change it. But there is also a social inheritance. Through education, the customs and laws and learning of one generation can be passed on to another; par- ents and teachers have some choice in the mat- away_from the child inherits—the hymns | of his chutih, thélwotKs)/ofithe/giéat_ poets, the wonderful things of science. They all belong to him and to his children also, because they belong to everybody. But there is still a fourth inheritance of grave |importance—the spirit of the home in which one spent his childhood. Inconsistent, irritable par- ents leave a child sensitive, uncertain of himself and morally weak; the treatment he received de- pended on the mood of someone else and not on his own deserts. He could not count on. quiet, firm support whenever he was right and quiet, kindly correction when he was wrong—it was all a question of moods and persons, and he was not certain of anything. And all that left its mark— a mark that may often be seen in the very expres- sion of his face. Which of them holds the buckeye in the Buck- eye state? The interest the two presidential candidates are taking in one another covers columns. | The lack of interest in politics this summer is all taken up at beaches by these Annette Keller- man bathing suits. Probably the reason why automobiles are not built in “hug-me-tight” styles is that excuses have become unnecessary.

Of course we don’t blame the good fel- lows of New Rockford if they can get the present court to say these old, worn-out petitions are still good, but the proposition seems ridiculous, as probably a large portion of the people who sign- ed up four years ago have either left the state or moved to some other location, and besides, more than likely half of the signers have changed their minds by this time. But in this age, when politi- cal go-as-you-please judgments are in constant season, the boys over the way may be able to put the thing across and we will then have a chance to vote to keep the capital at Bismarck, where it belongs.—Beach Advance. i TAKING AWAY OUR OWN MONEY Once more Golden Valley county refused to be good, according to the Townley standard, and as a punishment state money, it is said, is being re- called from the local banks at a time when it is badly needed to_help the farmers over the last of a mighty tough period of hard luck, and it has been announced, we understand, that no more loans are being made to farmers by the Bank of North Dakota at this time. On second thought we are in error in calling the money ‘deposited in local banks “state” money. It is not. ‘It is money that belongs to the county, to towns, townships and schools of Golden Valley county; the money these subdivisions used to keep on tap in the local banks, where they could get it as they needed it, and where ‘the banks, knowing by experience the average withdrawals, could lend patrons from this source without the present danger of having a state bank, that is run on a political basis, call in its deposits at a critical time, as now. The present is a wretched system, as it not only does not permit any of the above subdivisions full freedom in using their own funds, but causes an actual loss of interest to them, which, while crip- pling the counties, towns, townships and schools, adds little to the income of the state, for the money is frittered away in paying the army that crowds the state bank pay roll.—Beach Advance. TO LET THE LIGHT IN Plans are being made for the submission under the initiative provisions of the constitution of measures relating to the handling of the funds in the custody of state officials and board, and providing especially for the audit at stated per- ieds by the state auditing board of the Bank of North Dakota, the Workmen’s Compensation bur- eau, the Home Builders’ association, the Mill and Elevator asociation, and the Industrial commis- sion. All of these are state institutions, created by the legislature of the state, operated at public ex- pense, and handling in their work large sums of the people’s money. - The people are entitled to know how all this work is being performed. Thus far it has been impossible for them to find out. The present administration has resisted every effort that has been made to ascertain the facts in connection with each of these institutions, and to have those facts presented to the public. The administration has evidently proceeded on. the as- sumption that the people have a right to know only as much as Mr. Townley and his agents choose to tell them, and that what the people do not know will not hurt them. The people have a right to know whether these departments of their government are being oper- ated successfully or unsuccessfully, economically or wastefully. If everything is as it should be there can be no object in keeping the facts sec- ret. There can be no objection to the enactment of such a law as is proposed save from those who wish to keep legitimate infgrmation’away from the public. ‘Grand ot Wee z g i ,, We Should Say CA¥ Otkupies'a ‘High Position’ a AUC BIGGER THAN ALL Human Mind Is Real Wonder of the World. Inanimate Things That Used to Be Classed as Marvels Are Trivial in Coraparison, Accordirig to Boston Writer. An up-to-date newspaper, must have an encyclopedie editor:“Uncle Dudley” writes in the Boston Globe. His Job is to do what he can to quench: the public thirst for odd scraps of miscel- laneous information. _ He lives close by the reservoir, a library containing the records of the race. One day le files a deposition about John Eliot's translation of the Bible for the Ameri- can Indians; the next morning he tes- tifles that on September 7, 1892, at New Orleans, Jim Corbett took the wind out of John L, Sullivan's sails in 21 rounds. There is one stock question in par- {ticular which bobs up ever and anon. What are the seven wonders of the world? For purposes of reference, the number of wonders always has been, 1s now and ever shall be, apparently exactly seven, (The almanacs never show ten or a dozen. The problem of Selection Is staggering In these days when the wonders of the world actu: ally total much nearer 7,000 than they do seven, Nevertheless, it 1s Interesting to com- pare the compiled lists of the seven wonders of the ancient, the medieval and the modern worlds. They are an index to the history of the human fn- tellect. Any compilation suffices. These will do. Seven wonders of the anclent wortd —Pyramids of Egypt, Pharos of Egypt. Hanging Gardens of Babylon, Temple of Diana at Ephesus, Statue of Jupiter by) Phidias,; mausoleum of Artemisia at Halicarnassus, Colossus of Rhodes. ’ Seven wonders of the middle ages— Coliseum of Rome, catacombs of Alex- andria, great wall of China, Stone- henge, leaning tower of Pisa, porce- lain tower of Nanking, China ; mosque of St. Sophia at Constantinople. + Seven wonders of the modern world —Woolworth building, Eiffel, tower, ete.?, No. Inanimate marvels are of the past. Here comes the lightning change. The third act {s a hummer. The compiler of the wonders does not even attempt to cover the whole modern period. He tabulates from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries only, And ‘he calls his lagt list the seven new wonders of the world. Here they’ are: Wireless, telephone, airplane, ra- dium, antiseptic and antitoxin, spec- trum analysis, X-rays. What next? The great wonder of all the ages 1s the human mind. Its evolution is the history of the world. pL a BO Degree of Tire Doctor. One of the tire manufacturing con- cerns of Akron, O., has established a school of tire repairs and the institu- vion fs so popular that it has been found necessary to increase its capa- city, which {s about to be doubled. This institutién has averaged 35 grad- uates a month since last August. Ev- ery graduate of the school receives a diploma, certifying that he has fin- ished the regular course of instruc- tion, consisting of lectures, text-book study and practical repair work. The student is first made thoroughly ac- quainted with the details of tire con- struction before he is actually trained in repair_work, Repair. stocks, REND r- AM ex TEAL: : : are PROHIBITION ,FENCE of all’ descriptions, air bags, vulcanfz- ing machines and methods, common sources of tire trouble, etc, are among the subjects taken up. The chief instructor and his assistants in the school are thoroughly experienced tire men from both factory and retail business standpoints. WILL GO OVER OLD ROUTE Charles J. Morse of Lowell, Mass., Plans to Revisit the Historic Santa Fe Trail. “I'm going over the old Santa Fe trail once more,” said Charles J. Morse, former municipal commission. er, as he made the rounds of his friends preparatory to starting for his visit to the West, the Lowell Courler- Citizen states: Mr, Morse had desired to leave some time ago and he looks forward to cov- ering the whole 1,400 miles of way be- tween.

At that particular time Buffalo Bill (Cody) and Wild Bill were in the eastern part of the country. Even then they had a wild west show. “Eleven years ago I was in Denver, and at that time I met just one man whom I tad known’ in 1872.

But fn 1872 when a Wells Fargo coach went out, ‘there were al- ways men with shotguns guarding It, and ft wasn’t an infrequent thing to. have a holdup.

If I can’t do anything else I can tm- agine things as they used to be and compare them with things as they now are. I was young then.

One feels just as familiar with the matches as the other did with ‘the powder, but fire and explosives are a bad combination under any circumstances, You may think you know how to handle both without, danger, but as soon as you mix carelessness with them. the. re- sults are almost sure to be fatal.

How to Clean Varnished Paper. Many kitchens and bathrooms are papered in varnished paper. When soiled this paper can be cleaned and made to.look like new if this method is followed: To half a bucketful of water add two tablespooafuls am- monia.. Wash the walls dovn with this. Then take half a bucketful of clear water and add half a_ table- spoonful of turpentine. Wash the walls a second time with. this, and afterward wipe them as dry as pos- sible...
