(Official City, State and County Newspaper) Make It Thorough One of the serious issues that confronts Mi- ot is the control of the flood waters of the fouse river, a sluggish stream for most of the ear, but potentially in the spring at least apable of great damage to life and property a that enterprising metropolis. State Engineer Kennedy is to present his Jan at a public meeting to be held November . His plan is an artificial channel which would fford an outlet for the flood waters and pro- ect the city of Minot. He is right when he ays there is no alternate for complete control lespite his estimate of $1,200,000 as the cost f such protection for the city. Most soundly 1e points out that any half measures at a ass cost will be merely expedients or an ex- ension of the temporary measures which last pring saved Minot from millions of dollars in wroperty loss’ and possible injury or death to ts citizens. Mr. Kennedy readily points out that lesser wotection can be had for less money, but such , plan would be kitchen economy; a saving at he spigot and a wasting elsewhere. Our neighbors to the north probably will de- ide that the only way to do the job is to do t efficiently. Spring floods doubtless have ost Minot more than the $1,200,000 which Mr. <ennedy proposes as the measyre of perma- tent and effective relief.

Beware of ‘Under Dog’ Sympathies (Minneapolis Tribune) Observers watching the barrages and coun- ter barrages which are being laid down in the Wilbur-Magruder engagement will do well to remember that the rear admiral superior officer. This advantage flows chief- ly from the inevitable tenden of the public to throw the weight of its sym- pathies, consciously or otherwise, towards that combatant who, it suspects, is being perse- cuted. In the present instance, “average man” instinctively visualizes Rear Admiral Magruder as some Sir Launfal jousting for right and truth; nothing remains, then, for “average man” but to catalog Secretary Wilbur as some black knight who bears the crest of bureau- eracy and intolerance on his shield. Mr. Wil- bur stands convicted as an oppressor, in other words, simply because he happens to hold the upper hand, Because certain aspects of the present con- troversy are not generally understood, an avoidance of virulent and hastily formed opin- ions seems quite in order. It was rather wide- ly conceded that Rear Admiral Magruder’s magazine article charging the navy with in- efficiency and waste was sincerely and honestly motivated and warranted no disciplinary ac- tion on the part of Secretary Wilbur. Even President Coolidge was reported to have ex- pressed interest in the Magruder observations as charges made strictly in good faith. It is important to note, however, that Mr. Wilbur’s action in removing Rear Admiral Magruder from his command was not inspired by the original article. Instead certain assertions made in subsequent speeches and in official correspondence provide the motive for this new move. Presumably Mr. Wilbur has reasons for dissatisfaction which have not yet been aired in full public view; fairness, then, dictates that these reasons be neither condemned nor ap- proved until they are judged with thorough- ness and impartiality. bly championing the public’s cause. We know that Admiral Magruder could be transformed, by one simple administrative order,” from a pedestrian critic of navy policies to a very de- lightful martyr.

That, however, is less than half an explanation. What could they have said about it to induce their friends to go?

F. writes: “I am very much interested in your | daily articles. Can chronic colitis be cured and what would you advise? Have been unable to work for eight months.” Answer: Chronic colitis simply means a chronic it.flammatior of the large intestine. The only treatment necessary is with diet, but you must be patient and not expect very quick results. The most poisonous elimi- nations from the body pass out through the colon, and even after your diet has been well regulated it will take a long time before the inflamed mucous membranes can return to their normal tone. A short fast will be helpful at the beginning of treatment, then follow a well regulated diet such as I suggest in my weekly menus. One or two enemas daily should be taken during the fast and for several months while living on the right diet. " Question: L. M. S. asks: “Will you please tell me what foods should be given a baby eighteen months old?” Answer: Pure cow’s milk pro- vides all the nourishment necessary for the eighteen months old baby. The quantity must be proportioned to suit the type and temperament. If any other foods besides the milk are used they should be fruits and non-starchy vegetables. Question: Mrs. R. T. S. asks: “Is it, safe to rub ice on the neck and face to tighten the muscles? Is there any chance of causing par- alysis of the neck muscles?” Answer: The ice treatment to the neck and face is excellent for strengthening the muscles. The cold makes the muscles contract, and in this way they are developed and brought back, to a normal tone. I have never heard of any injury being caused by this treatment, and it certainly cannot produce paral; SAINE ,=4 SINNER Anne Faith had the curious feeling that she was upon the verge of a great revelation about herself, a revela- tion of her true character that was of the most vital importance to her insofar as her relationship with Bob and Cherry and Joy, and even less beloved people were concerned. But she was too tired, too utterly dis- pirited, to follow it through. Cherry Moved her and despised her; Bob loved her and was sometimes ob- viously contemptuous of her; she was not really making Joy’s life the carefree, happy state that a child’s life should be. But—oh, if she could only sleep, sleep forever and ever! She dragged through the rest of the morning somehow; ate no lunch, because her stomach revolted at the thought of food; took Hope for a walk, pushing the perambulator so languidly that the four-months-old baby jounced up and down with im- patience. Hope was sitting alone now; could soon be taken out in a sulky; would be walking after a This would not be true everywhere. It would not be true in Manhattan where the buildings are too over- powering to be neglected and where the roar of the city keeps you con- 2 stantly conscious of the physical The friend of order has made half elements. It is true of Paris because |there is no roar to distract and be- bit, and talking—growing up, grow- ing up! Growing into another Cher- ry, passionate, vital, too-beautiful, fickle, avid for love. “I wonder,” Faith ‘questioned her- self dully, “if I really want a baby of my own, to repeat my own trage- dies as Hope wil! repeat Cherry's.” It -vas three o’clock when she returned to the house. Suddenly sleep waves poured over Faith’s brain, making her so drunk that she could scarcely stagger into the sun parlor with Hope and then into her own bedroom. It was dusk when she woke. Her sleep-dazed eyes fell upon Cherry’s little upturned face, took in the amazing fact that Cherry was kneel- ing on the floor beside the bed, her chin cupped in her beautiful, useless- looking white hands. Aus said in a small, sweet voice. “I’ve been kneeling here, looking at you and loving you and trying to imagine that I’m Faith. I wonder,” her voice mused softly, “what it feels like to be you—so good: and honest and— and faithful, like your name, and— and so hurt by other people’s selfish- ness end sins.” ‘ears gushed into,Faith’s eyes and she sank back upon her pillow, “It feels awful,” she confessed. “But . I’m not really good. I’m selfishly unselfish, I suppose, because that’s the way I get almost my only pleas- ure \n life—doing things for other people, ‘t’s just as selfish as being frankly selfish,” she added, a note of bitterness and self-understanding _ in her voice, “No, it isn’t,’ Cherry contradicted hes eagerly. “Because good for others does result. I tried being un- selfish this afternoon,” she laughed ruefully. “And I’m afraid I’ve made an awful mess of the dinner. I tried to follow a cook-book recipe for baked eggplant and it looks decided- ly queer, and I’m sure the jello won't jell in time. But I can fill it up with sliced fruit.” “Sweet Cherry!” Faith cried, reaching for those useless-looking little hands and kissing the finger- tips. “You're not angry with me any more? I didn’t mean to be a nuisance, forcing myself on you.” “Don’t, darling!” Cherry pleaded contritely. “You make me feel such an awful little beast. I just wanted to examine Cherry’s heart and soul a little, all by myself, and now— if you'll let me—I’d like to talk to you. I always do come to you, sooner or later, don’t 1?” she asked wistfully. “You've spoiled me dread. fully, darling, but I do love you most excruciatingly.” EXT: Cherry tries to analyze grouhd of the stage is so vivid. se * History parades by you as you talk in Paris until your mind whirls.
