Bismarck has two of the ‘ieat hospitals in North Dakota and its physicians are known far beyond the borders of the. state. In its médical fraternity and hospitals, the capital city has two assets whose value to.communit chealth and gen- eral welfare cannot be overestifnated. ; The opportunity::to. show appreciation presents itself. on June ‘24''when & public meeting will be SPAPER held at the Auditorjum. under the . auspices of the} American College ‘ors rgeons.. This meeting is for everyong,, here, ithe no admission charged ||’ and the, message is.a, vital one: for. it has to do with public health: and ‘the prevention of disease. When the ‘nation began its draft for the world war, the health of the nation was given more pub- licity than ever before. It became a question of intense discussion. People began torealize what a great field ‘there was.for the kind of work the American‘. College of ae have. Started so militantly. It is an old adage aia probably siaeahak trite, but none the less true,.“‘that the wealth of a na- tion lies in the health of its:people.” The happi- ness of the, people is.dependent upon the game condition,sand the surgeons,’ ‘who have-embarked upon this campaign of | hetter health, should. have |' the heartiest support .of the great body of men and women who give too little thought to the great fundamentals winderiniee the better health movement. © The Auditorium should be Gaekod to her the distinguished surgeons discuss in popular terms _ the part the. lic: can.take in the crusade for a better civilization, “through a more careful. atten-|' tion to the human machine.

Fargo has had scores of object lessons in the dangers of the Red river during the last few years, but every hot summer day finds a goodly number of boys and youths swimming in the river and taking the same chances that have proved fatal so often in the past. The number of such tragedies during the season can be figured with almost mathematical precision. They will average about so many to the month, least one or two and possibly several more lives summer ends. Poggibly the city commission or the park board would be warranted in restricting swimming to certain parts of the river and having guards with- in cail.on Sundays and holidays, if funds were ‘available, but the swimming pool is the-only Per-|.w manent, peolution—-Farep, Forym. hues GETTING RIDOF DUPLICATES: | A recent bride had the usual. experience of those who have large weddings —she received many. duplicate gifts. Some of these she exchang- ed, but others were monogrammed, and of course she.couldn’t exchange those. “I know what I'll do with them,” she confided to her husband... “I’ll save them for future wed- ding.-presents. Just take them to the silver- smith’s and have my monogram rubbed off and the bride’ 8 put on. It will be quite a saving. I know so many people who are going to be married this year.” And it did work quite well for a ‘while; By the time her dearest enemy was married the stock of: monogrammed white elephants was ‘greatly de- pleted and the bride finally decided to pass on a never. been able to ascertain. It was too high for a sugar bow! and too broad for a flower vase. | “Maybe she'll know what it’s for,” she told her husband. “She likes ‘these queer singerbready things, anyway.” So down she went the next morning with the board box. The head of the marking department exited the. nonedescript specimen critically for some moments, then shook his head. “I’m sorry, madam,” he said at last apologetic- ally, “we can’t do that over. It’s rae done four times alrealy.” “Til bet. it started as a loving cup,” said the bride savagely, as she selected a phining hew cake knife—New York Sun.

Gladstone referred to the “Act of ’| Union” as the blackest and foulest | transaction in the history of.man; ani Macauley called it the union of the shark and its prey. Nor is there any moral force in the s0-called union of Ireland and Great Britain. On this point, I again quote.Mr. Gladstone: “Union with Ireland has no. moral force * * * it rests on no moral basis. That ‘ig the, line I would always take were Lan Irishman. That is the line whith;.as an Englishman, I now. take.” And: as to the familiar “religious” argument: there is no such question involved in the Irish controversy; tha: is, in the sense that the Catholics of Ireland undertake to control the re- ligious wérship of any non-Catholic. | The only religious"issue is'that intro- duced..-by the British government even. before its notorious activities in put- ting through the “Act of Union.” On that occasion it did not hesitate to bring in the “religious” question when it served its purpose to, disfranchise a nation. And.ever since it has care- fully fostered the “religious” question to strengthen its own position and tu - maintain division and discord amongst the people of Ireland. Ireland is aéparate and distinct from Great. Britain; , separate geographical- ly as well as in ideals and traditions. It has no necessary confection with Great Britain. The Irish. Repyblic represents a government established by the will. of the people of Ireland, substantially declared.. For us to deny it recognition would be to deny Amer- ica.
