In the earfy history of the coun- ry the village played a much larger part than the cities. For the past quarter of a century he village has been lost sight of somewhat e@ecause of the spectacular growth and in- erease in the number of big cities. ‘ t But Dr. Luther Fry, who may lay claim to Ybeing an authority in sociology, has written a goook entitled “American Villagers,” in which the makes out a pretty strong case for the de- Girability of living in the smaller centers of pulation. He says the number of villages is qncreasing rapidly and the character of their oopulation changing. | © The village population of the country is of n importance not to be slighted, according to r. Fry’s estimate. He says there are 18,000 willages and their total inhabitants number hearly 13,000,000. That means that about ~ne-tenth of all the people in the United States jive in villages. And Dr. Fry thinks there are decided ad- Vantages in village life. There are more ome-owners in the villages, he says, a larger wercentage of the boys and girls go to school, the ordinary man has a better chance to be- ome his own boss, and women find more op- Porcunities to engage in business and exert public influence. 2 The future of the American village, Dr. Fry thinks, is highly promising. He estimates that the number of villages in the country in- treased nearly 45 per cent during the period 1900 to 1920, and this growth, he says, was yaused by removal of inhabitants from cities ps well as from the country. : “It may be,”-ays Dr. Fry’s book, “that America is at-the beginning of a new agricul-| iural era in which farmers more and more will, some to live together in villages to enjoy greater social advantages.” TOSS ERS ETRE DECAF EERE SHEE E CO CEMEDE TOE ORPER DEORE TES Beings From the Sky i A woman in Cleveland the other day killed; or three-weeks-old son.

That little paragraph about the woman who ed her son tells of a tragedy as poignant any dramatist ever wrote. Think of the ‘isery, the suffering, that must have filled hat woman’s life to turn her mother love for pless baby into a channel like that. And see if you, too, aren’t jarred out of your id acceptance of this world as an easy- place where all things work together for It is good for us to be jarred like that once awhile. For we too easily forget that life not always a safe and sane round of work- and playing and eating. and sleeping. ere is more to it’than the encountering of xciting joys and the endurance of unim- ortant disappointments. It has infinite pos- bilities; sometimes it is dark beyond belief, ind for some of its tragedies we can find no olution, no rational explanation. Yet that is not the whole story. If life can be cruel, bitter, unendurable, it also be more meaningful and glowing than we dream. It can drop us into deep valleys, abut it also has towering peaks, shining in the light, which we may scale. It holds possi- fevilities of ecstasy as well as terror. = It was something like this, no doubt, that pathe old-time makers of fables had in mind when they peopled the world with a fantastic uccession of satyrs, aégipans, demons and tches, and wove stories about men who had 1.60/ for the utmost extremes of being; to find out —j| making vast strides. THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE | There was truth in those old fables. For they presented a world which, while filled with lurking shadows and half-seen shapes of hor- ror, was at the same time a world of surpass- ing beauty and majesty. If there were de- mons hiding in the night there were also slen- jder gods and white-bodied nymphs on sunlit slopes. Most of us lead lives that are pretty well padded. Our efficient age gives us autome- biles and radios and moving pictures and sim- ilar inventions that lull us to an easy belief that life is not so very puzzling, after all. But once in a while we are jarred into a realization that we are wrong. And it is good for us. We need to rediscover our own po- tentialities; to learn anew that we were meant for ourselves that the most commonplace vil- lage street, lined with sleepy frame houses, is a temporary stopping place for beings who have come down out of the sky. The Pilotless Plane A Los Angeles man is building a “pilotless airplane.” Next summer, he says, this plane will fly from Los Angeles to New York with- out an occupant. It will be controlled entirely by radio, operated from a second plane half a mile behind. The science of aeronautics, verily, has been It was only 25 years ago that the Weight brothers made the first airplane flight in history. Now plans are be- ing made for a plane that will fly without any- one in it.

It is a romance broken, broken because its basis was a world revolution that the world would not tolerate. That Russian crowd murmured, “Oh, how sad,” as Trotsky passed, But the sacrifice of Trotsky on the political altar that he helped to build up may be a sign that the end of the power of Trotsky, Zinovieff, Kameneff and the others means an end of the Russian menace to the peace of the werld.

The fact is that practically all of the so-called frugivorous animals, including the ape, baboon, and mem- bers of the monkey family, do not live on a strictly fruitarian diet. Carnivorous animals such as the tiger. and lion use only flesh foods, while the herbivorous animals, as the cow, horse, and rabbit, use only grasses and grains, and will not use flesh food, even though actually bg ae Primitive man, as well as the mon- keys, lived on both fruits and vege- tables and also on small animals such as lizards, grubs, pirds and insects, besides using birds’ eggs and the eggs of reptiles. follusks and oysters were apparently common foods for ancient man. It seems foolish to me to attempt to put man in the class of fruit eaters when every evidence has shown that he has always eaten whatever tasty food he could secure and was only slow in eating the flesh of larger animals because of his lack of ingenuity in béing able to kill them. In a strictly botanical sense, fruits include not only apples, _ pears, peaches, etc., but also all berries, nuts, grains, beans, peas, pumpkins, squashes, and melons, which are those parts of the plant containing the seeds. A vegetable is any part of a herbaceous plant commonly used for culinary purposes, and may con- sist of the root, as in the beet and turnip; the stem is in the asparagus and celery, or it may be a tuber or underground stem, as in the potato; or the foliage, as in cabbage and spinach. Man has been able to adapt him- self to varying mixtures of flesh foods combined with fruits and vege- tables, and it seems impossible to determine that any specific f was intended by: nature as the one food especially proper for the human family. It may be that man has a developed his superiority over the rest of the animal kingdom to a large degree in that he has used all of the different kinds of food and thereby assured himself of a plenti- ful supply of all the food elements necessary forthe building of a strong body. Certain it is that man and the monkeys who have lived on such varied diets have shown unquestion- able superiority over all of the animals who live either on a purely carnivorous or herbivorous diet. If it can be proved that any single article of food produces injury to the body, it is folly for anyone to con- tinue using such food, no mater how delicious its taste or how easily it can be acquired or cultivated. Of the common foods used on the HEALTH“ DIET ADVICE & Dr Frank Mc » whts De Sst tat, 0S 8B _ STAMPED RODRESSEO 2 fool average table it will be found that there are very few which can be placed in the class of dangerous or poisonous foods.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Question: J. M. M. asks: “Will you tell me where I can get agar- agar, and how to use it to cure con- stipation?” Answer: Agar-agar can be se- cured in any drugstore. It is put Be in packages in granulated form. good way to use it is to take three or four tablespoonfuls a day, either at meals or between meals, it does not seem to matter. The agar is not digested, and contains very little food material. It therefore furnishes bulk for the intestines and this assists in tials, 3 constipation which is often caused by using food which is too highly concentrated. Question: Mrs. S. S. asks: “Do the different shortenings made of vegetable fat contain starch?” Answer: I do not know of any vegetable-fat shortening which con- ‘ood jtains much starch.
