But it is interesting to know just when this colloquialism for wife made.its appearance. Book- ish people declare that the phrase is first found in English literature at least in Sidney’s “Arca- dia.” That is a publication of the sixteenth cen- tury. Here, Angus says to Parthenia: “My deare, my Beticr halfe, I find that I must now leave thee.” The compliment on the part of friend husband must have made the parting on the part of the missus, less painful. But, seriously, where is the man that will gainsay what the shrewd Sidney started so many generations ago? INVITING TROUBLE Along! the streets came a girl in her teens, carrying a heavy child. It was hard work, and she set him down, saying, “I can’t carry you another step; you are much too heavy.” The child howled. In the girl’s tone there was a little exaspera- tion and something that seemed like blame—the child was “too heavy.” Then, too, she was direct- ly announcing that she would no longer do what he had evidently demanded. Suppose that she had said in a cheerful tone, “Now the, nice big boy.is going to walk a while and give {sister a rest!” He might still have howled; but she would not have been inviting him to do so. : You can’t make other people cheerful by ex- pressing your own discouragement. To control their feelings you must learn to look beyond your own, THE WANDERING BOY Years ago, in temperance meetings, they sang the old, old song— “Where Is My Wandering Boy Tonight?” Many were the fathers and mothers who could nof:have answered. Later, often,, they learned where their boys were that night, and other heart-broken parents were added to an al- ready long list. “Demon Rum,” was the verdict then. Just recently a college boy pleaded guilty to manslaughter. He had killed a schoolmate at Dartmouth, during the course of a drinking party. Both young fellows, standing upon the threshold of manhood, succumbed to a strongly developed whisky habit. There was death for the one, and a branded prison life for the other. “Demon Rum,” is the veridct, the stricken parents insist. Many others agree with them. - But it isn’t exactly the truth. Demon Rum did add the finishing touch. It sent one into his grave, the other to a prison cell: But Demon Rum, was and is, the result, not the cause. Usually it is true that the father who cannot tell where his wandering boy is tonight. could not have told where he was when the lad was eight, years old, or fourteen. He wasn’t his boy’s pal.”'He' was too busy with less important busi- ness ‘and gave but a superficial attention to his greatest job—being a father to a boy. You cannot chum with your boy and not get acquainted with his other chums. You can’t pal around with your son and not know when he is stepping off the straight and narrow path. Make it your business to know where your wandering boy is, when he’s young and when his habits are easily formed. Better still, be with your wandering boy, more profitable, if less com- fortable, than snoozing by your fireside. Another idea: If your son uses your best room as a meet- ing place for his boy friends, the chances are ex- cellent that you won’t be appearing in some court to defend him for some violation of the law. Not all boys can be made into useful citizens by a parental code of rules and regulations, nor by liberal applications of the punishing rod. Nor will wealth do it. Nor mere schooling. If your boy goes wrong, don’t charge it to the “corner gang,” or to bootleggers; charge it. to the hours you might have spent with him—and did not! The folks who predicted that suffragists wouldn’t turn’ out and vote are Maine-taining a discreet silence. ; Cox protested righteously in California that Harding was nominated in a room of a Chicago hotel by men opposing Hiram Johnson.

THE TOWER OF PISA The other day appeared a new picture of the leaning tower of Pisa. The story ran that it was likely to fall because of the recent ‘earthquakes. The reason it has stood for so many centuries is because the vertical line drawn through its center of gravity passes within its base. ( But the picture of the old tower reminded one how Galileo, the Italian of the pendulum, you know, used it to disprove a statement that had stood as fact for 2,000 years. He‘put Aristotle in the Ananias class before a multitude. Aristotle, who was some mathematician, had said some 2,000 years earlier, that if two bodies of different weight were dropped from a height, the heavier would’reach the ground first. That sounded reasonable for 20 centuries, until Galileo came along. “Is that so?” said Gali- leo. “I don’t believe it, and we'll try it out.” So Galileo possessed himself of a one-pound cannon ball and a ten-pound cannon ball. And he climbed up the stairs of the leaning tower. He reached the top and leaning over the side where, looking down, the slant of the tower made a straight drop of about 150 feet. Then he rolled the cannon one that weighed ten pounds. Judges saw that they reached the ground at the same time. Aristotle had been mistaken and Galileo had proved it. The moral is that one,can’t believe everything that has stood even. the’test of 2,000 years, and the hope is that the leaning tower does not fall, for, some centuries hence, some coming Galileo may want to use it again for some little stunt as he did the gifted Italian. ~ Wilson can’t get even half a League onward. The women of Maine don’t raise their boys to listen to voices in the air, If the Poles were armed with razors, they’d make short work of the Bolsheviks. Hint for housewives: Don’t burn hubby’s straw hat; enamel it and use it as a sewing basket. Paper suits may become popular here when it is realized that scissors will take the fringe off the pants, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Democratic candidate for Vice President, calls Senator Harding “an old-fashioned politician.” That is far better than a half-baked politician, with half-baked ideas of government. It would be interesting to know whether Dan- iels cost the Democrats more votes in Maine than did Franklin D. Roosevelt. Between the two of them—with Wm. J. McAdoo added—they started an amazing landslide. Senator Harding effectually disposed of the so-called Plumb plan of settling the railroad ques- tion, by saying: “I do not believe America will consent to seize the righteously-owned property of any citizen to place it in the hands of another.” EDITORIAL REVIEW Comments reproduced in this column may or may not express the opinions of The Tribune.

Hillyer, president of the May- ville Normal is gone. , President McVey of the State University has left North Dakota. F, E. Smith, president of the State Industrial School at Wahpeton has been replaced. President Smith of the School of Forestry at Bottineau is nc longer with us. fine record as President of the Valley City Nor- mal School, which position he held for years, was practically ousted. President Arthur G. Crane, who has been at the head of the Minot Normal School since its origin. has resigned, because Penn- sylvania offers him a more important field for his work. The only old heads of our state insti- tutions who remain are President Ladd of the North Dakota State Agricultural College. Ac- cording to latest reports, President Kane of the North Dakota State University is not apt to re- main very long unless there is an important change in the personnel of the Board of Admin- istration, which has just engaged a new Dean of the Law College against his wishes. No self-re- specting President will long remain under such circumstances. The Board of Administration does not seem to have the happy faculty of getting along with the heads of our educational institu- tions, who do not appear free to carry out co-operation between the Presidents of these in- stitutions and the Board of Administration, the heads of these schools cannot do their best work, and unless the relations are pleasant, North Da- kota educators are certain to go to other fields where their services are sure to be appreciated better.

D. | ES J How to Handle a Baby. A baby must alwa. be handled carefully. His bones still part cartilage and they bend and, break easily. Other bad effects of too much or careless, -handling are sore and painful muscles which make a- baby cross. Handling after eating upsets the digestion. Jolting, bouncing and rocking make a child excitable and nervous. | i1)) A young baby cannot, turn himself over. His muscles get very tired if they remain, too long in one position. When he is taken up for feeding or cleansing, his position should be changed from side to side, or from ly- ing on his back to lying on his stom- ach. But always the head and back must be kept straight and the arms and legs free. The ears should bej” “On, no! I never stayed as lace Kept straight and flat on the head.| as that.”—Edinburgh Scotsman. The eyes should be protected from di- rect light.

Nev- er thro’ baby over the shoulder. A baby should not be encouraged to try to hold up his own head until he is four months old or to sit up until he is six months old. The spine, neck and head always should be supported. Never pick up a child by the: arms. Grasp him firmly by the shoulders or body. In walking with an older child do not walk too fast nor compel him to reach up to take your hand. It is very, tiring to walk in that position. “But how did the boss know Clar- ence had taken the car out?” asked Henry. “Why,” explained ence ran over him.”—Harper's. | * William, “Clar- Sa eb ry ‘ By a_new German process, benzine caste and kerosene can be obtained from li- Mixed. quid coal tar which has been distilled “Doesn’t your husband write you] from lignite at a lowor temperature. any: let : ay, tters from Havana’ . but they are unin lligible.”— —#e Louisville Courier-Journal. ‘ Left Before Dawn “While you were standing in the doorway telling the sweet young thing goodnight, did it ever dawn upon you—” LEMON JUICE -.

L. Becker, of 229 North Twelfth St., Lincoln, Neb. “I had an operation which left me in an awful run-down condition, and for quite a while | was too weak to even walk. My stomach was left bad- ly upset and I had almost no appetite at all and couldn't get back my strength. Headaches almost drove me frantic and‘at times I had blinding dizzy spells. My nerves were all un- strung. “I was hardly able to walk. My shoulders also hurt me awfully, at night sometimes I could not get to sleep until after four o’clock in the morning. It was impossible fpr me to do a bit of my housework and I was simply in constant pain and suffer- ing and was almost ready to give up in'tlespair. “Soon’ after starting on Tanlac my appetite returned and my food agreed with me. It wasn’t long until my nerves were quiet and I was’ sleep- ing sound at night. The pains left. my legs, shoulders and arms ‘and I was no Ibnger troubled. with head- aches or dizzy spells. I have now gained ten pounds in weight and feel as well and strong as I ever did in my life.” Tanlac is sold in Bismarck by Jos. Breslow, in Driscoll by N. D. and J. H. Barrette, in.«Wing by H. P.

They are that mysterious “life ele- ment” which appear in foods that are essential to health and life. Dr. Carol O. Johns, government ex- pert on diet, and espe ly on vita- mines, has eight hens-—just common hens—in his back yard. He sees to it that they get the proper diet, and particularly the kindof food that sup- plies vitamines. ; Resplt: Hg, hens lay the year round, through: the moulting season, in winter, and,he declares that the rea son they don’t go to setting is be- cause they are too busy laying eggs. Dr. Johns is performing this experi- ment for two reasons, first, to test foods, and second, to get eggs. a When people think of the Interstate Commerce Commission, they visualize a bunch of grave persons’ with their heads chucked full of figures and rail- road, rates. I Will say they. are apt at figures, but the ICCers are more than a buncn of statisticians—they are one big fam- ily of a thousand members. They have a dance at the ICC Build- ing every Thirsday night, and I was a guest at the'‘first of these dances of the season, Sept. 16. The music was jazzy and I didn't hear Commissioners Daniels, Potter and Atchison, who were there, say any” thing about railroad rates. A big room occupied by stenograph- ers in the daytime is converted into 2 dance hall at night, and outside of working hours the ICC is the Incom- com Club. PLEASURE PLANE The much discussed adoption of the airplane as a purely. pleasure ma- chine has been inaugurated in north- ern North Dakota by Dr. N. B. Liv ingstone of Minot. The doctor, dur- ing the recent trip east, purchased a J-1 Curtiss**biplane at a cost of $2,435. He claims to be the first professional man in this part of the country to buy a plane as a strictly pleasure proposition. The plane, which was purchased in Minneapolis, is stated to be a 90- horsepower O-X motor, capable of giv- ing it a speed of 70 miles an hour at sea level without wind. It is nor- mally a two-passenger machine, al- though three can be accommodated by ‘crowding. nad AHF The new machit€ “will be shipped here as soon as the thaw in the spring. The doctor is revolving plans for securing a landing ground ans will also erect a hangar of his. own. Eases Colds At once! © Relief with “Pape’s Cold Compound’’ The first dose eases your cold!
