Here is a cheer for clothing manufacturers in America who find .the population of the Philippines is 10,000,000. Figure how many millions of natives of other tropic countries remain unpanted, and the pos- sibilities of extending foreign trade is for the first time fully realized. A Slogan: A Pair of Pants for Every Man. But the pants and coats of western civilization have proved fatal to many natives on) whom changes of hubif ave imposed too suddenly. The, ‘record shows that these changes in tropic cli- mates make the natives more subject to pulmon- ary and other ailments. Introduction of western garments and tight walls is given as one rea- :8on for the great decrease in the Polynesian population of the South Seas. Pants, like strong liquors, appear to be some- thing which cannot safely be taken or let alone at will. Those not accustomed to pants find it tas hard to get along in pants, as those used to these familiar garmeits find it to get along with- out. WIFE SAVERS A wife saver may be a pump in the kitchen, a washing machine, an electric churn, or anyone of the thousands of things which go to make farm life more worth living for the women of the farm. Just now the U. 8: Department of Agriculture is tremendously interested in wife saving. So is _every farm organization, county agent, farm jour. nal and others who come in close contact with the rural side of American life. Farm women are being urged to give more time to recreation, the community club, the vil- lage movie; they need more play and less work. So 'that they may have the right amount of each ‘their fathers and husbands are being told a few things—that running water in the house saves multitudes of steps; machinery for washing jelothes and churning butter prevents many an aching back; that farm houses can, and should, be as well equipped with labor-saving devices and modern conveniences as city homes. Further, it is urged, and strongly, too, that farm women need, deserve, and should get, plen- ty of afternoons and evenings “off”, and annual vacations should come to them. A wife saver is a life saver. _ MORE BIBLES WANTED The demand for Bibles is far greater than the publishers can meet. A statement by The Ameri- can Bible Society-on this point is: “It would take us 50 years to. supply the world with Bibles if the present output is kept up. That output is 30 million Bibles a year.” The demand does not come from any particular section, but is general and China alone. asked for a million more volumes last year than could be supplied, and Mexico and Latin America as a whole have sent in requesta that cannot be filled. As in newspaper publishing the cost of Bible publication has mounted, so that the business of the American Bible Society has for some time heen conducted ata loss. Rnt that doesn’t re-| ‘duce the demand for The Book, nor does it de- -A£rease the output, for that is advancing steadily. Until 1915 ‘the society could produce a New Testament that retailed at a nickel; right now that book sells at 15 cents and then at a loss to ‘the Bible society.. Paper that used to cost four scents a pound now costs 22. A leatherbound volume containing béth the Old and New Testa: ments at one time could be sold for 60 cents; now it is sold at $1.33 and the society still “nockets a loss.” At this time the society is at work on ‘an attempt to produce a New Testament in a _Wired edition on good paper that can be sold for ‘a.dime. This is an experiment and none of the books have yet been distributed. THE DISHPAN OR THE JURY BOX. ,. Many states have tried women on juries with ‘uniformly good results. The “mixed” jury has ‘come in for less criticism, after the verdict, than has the average all-man jury. Apparently the ‘woman juror is making good. But is jury service as beneficial to woman? ‘Her effect upon juries has been fine; but how about the jury effect upon ‘women ? “It is my thought that women should be free from jury service,” said Judge Alfred J. Talley, af New York, ordering the sheriff of America’s| ‘most populous county to omit women from jury D BISMARCK DAILY TRIBUNE panels. Tut! Tut! Be not so hasty in the formation of your rejoinder! It isn’t that Judge Talley is op- posed to woman suffrage that he so ruleth, for the judge lives in a suffrage city, a suffrage county, a suffrage state, and a suffrage nation. He has an- other reason. Trust a judge to dig up a good rea- son, “Women should be exempted,” said Judge ‘Tal- ley, “because the work which the laws of nature have designed for performance by women is of paramount importance to any service which they might be called upon to perform on a jury. It is part of a divine plan that woman is destined and | qualified for the bearing of the children of the race, and for the creation and guardianship of the j homes of the world and of their maintenance in love and honor.” ~ Thus Judge Talley, with one motion of his ju- dicial law wipes the woman juror out of existence —in his court room. j In her earlier married days woman must teach baby to walk, talk and keep out of the pantry cookie jar. Other judges, too, have ruled that women may be excused from jury duty when there are little children in the home needing a mother’s care. There is no doubting the wisdom of such a decision, and least of all, would: any woman find fault with it. ae : But there are days, and many of them, later on! in a woman’s married life, when children are not tied to her apron strings. Usually at this period woman ig as free as man for jury,gervice; she has her business, housework, and ‘He has‘ his business, counting money or laying bricks, or. some other equally necessary vocation. ‘ | Judge Talley, however, rules that maintaining | a nome is of such vital importance to the human race that women must be excluded from juries so that no dish may be unwashed and no floor un- swept. j The dishpan is of tremendously greater impor- tance than the jury box, according to Judge Tal- ley. F It were better, he intimates, that man be yank- ed from his work of producing food and getting it into the home than that woman should be taken, from her frying pan. < The father who provides the heat, light, food, clothing and house may be spared from his job, any day, to sit on a jury, but the mother who darns the socks, polishes the cutglass,. and ar- ranges daughter’s social campaign, must be “pro-, j tected against herself.” So says Judge Talley. He does admit, though, that “some women would make better jurors than some men.” Every- body else admits that it would do mother a lot of good to swap the duty of “guarding and main- taining” the home “rf love and honor,” as Judge Talley suggests, for a few days’ change on a jury. | No home would be wholly wrecked if father had | to wrestle with the dishpan the few evenings/ mother was enjoying a jury vacation from house- | hold work. 7 , Just when it looked like clear sailing for the League of Nations, a woman’s organization ask- ed for a ruling on international marriages. aes J Harding has been elected a life member of the typographical union and is eligible to help set the Congressional Record when there’s a dull day at the White House. EDITORIAL REVIEW Comments reproduced in this column may or may not express the opinion of The Tribune. They are presented here in order that our rs may have a‘ th sides of important issues which are being dis- cussed in the prese of the day. _ SENATOR HARDING'S PLAINT There is an unmistakable appeal for sympathy in Mr. Harding’s account of his troubles in Cab- inet making and policy-framing. Pity the sor- rows of the next President. His old friends show a strange “aloofness.” Against “untruth” and “intrigue” he has constantly to be “on his guard.” \ ‘Can such things be in the! fellowship of the best minds? Alas, yes. Senator Hariing oughit to. reflect that he is simply experiencing | the common lot of men about to enter the Presi- dency. It is almost impossible for them to’ get disinterested advice; very difficult even to get truthful. answers to straight questions. If Mr. Harding expected to find everything grace, mercy and peace in his counselors, it was time that he learned how ca » they are of anger, wrath, | malice and all uncharitableness. If this, as would appear, has got on Mr, Hard-/ ing’s nerves and made him irritable, so much the} better. It is a good sign when a. President blurts it out that he is sick. of being lied to, and is) tired of being pulled and hauled by men whose} motives are open to suspicion. On one ‘occasion | Grover Cleveland grecte! a Senator in the White House in the presence of cthers, with the words; “I suppose you've come to ask me to appoint an- other horse thief to office.” That outburst was worth more than a whole volume on the merits of civil service reform in the abstract. If Senator Harding were to use similar plainness of speech to those Senators who are in “fierce opposition” | to some of the best men suggested for the Cabi-' net it might both relieve his feclings and do much | to clear his path. ee In the end, he will have to strike out for him self. Why not do it at once? To his more in- sistent pleaders for mediocrities, or even obscur- | ities, he might read impressively this~passage| from the Koran: “A ruler who appoints any man to an office when there is in his dominions | another man better qualified for it, since against ADVENTURES “Nancy’s Dream” Ishtu took the twins to his hut and treated them kindly. He made a warm fire of moss,’ and when the children finally crept into the'warm bed of i. of the light skins that lay against’ the wall, they dropped off to sleep and slept until morning while Isigu kept watch. But Nancy had @.dream. At least she thought it'was a dream, but really it must have actually happened. How else could certain'things have taken place as they did afterwards? ‘A bright light appeared to the little girl and in the center of it Nancy saw the smiling features of a beautiful Fairy Queen. “Don't worry,” said the queen with an encouraging nod of her head. “I know that you have lost all your charms in the carved box which the Bobadil Jinn stole from you, but if In the center POETS’ CORNER eee IF (After Kipling) If you can keep your head while all , about you : Are losing theirs and trying to turn things back, If you can hold yoursélf while times are changing, Keep looking forward, see the on- ward track, y ° If you can run your shop when busf- ness slackens, !

ED AND HE FEELS FINE, “I firmly believe if I could have had Tanlac ten years: ago I would have been saved the terrible suffering I had | to.endure, besides the hundreds of dol- lars I paid out trying to get well,” said Charles Frigolla, 4051° France Ave., North, Minneapolis, Minn. 3 “Tanlac has not only: relieved me jof my suffering, but has built me, up twelve and a half pounds in weight and for the first time in many years [am feeling like a real man. ‘Every- feeling in my stomach, fermented and bloated me up and kept me in agony for hours after each meal.: At night the pain and distress tortured me so I often had to get up and pace the floor. I became so weak and run down it is a mystery to me yet how I ever pulled through. “Finally I began reading about Tan- lac and decided to see what it would do for me. My stomach trouble is a thing of the past and I eat like a horse without feeling that old bloating and distressed feeling or the least pain. My nerves are in fine condition and I sleep like a log every night.” Tanlac is sold in Bismarck by Jos. Breslow, in Driscoll by N. D. and, J. H. Barrette, in Wing by H. P.
