Kresge Bldg. a (Official City, State and County Newspaper) Our Urge to Create In New York there is a little old lady who, at the age of 94, spends all of her time paint. i jictures. : 3 Me hirty four years ago the last of her chil- dren had grown up and gone out into the world. For the rest of her life, this woman’s time was to “be her own,” as we say. Always she hed wanted to paint; so she bought an easel, some canvases, brushes and paint and proceeded to gratify her wish. She has been painting pic- tures ever since. . : “To be sure, the pictures she paints aren't very good. She never has sold any, and never has tried to. She is painting for her own amusement, and she is having a fine time do- ing it, too. i And we have a feeling that she is a pretty wise old lady. ! : In every one of us there is an impulse to make life beautiful and significant; to create something for the pure joy of creating. _ Some men are fortunate enough to have jobs that provide an outlet for this impulse. Moss ‘< of us are not in that class. We can’t, in the hackneyed phrase, “express ourselves” in our work. No man can give vent to an inner de- sire for beauty by tightening bolts in a fac- 4; tory all day, or by hammering a typewriter, 3 or by selling real estate. We have to seek ex- pression in our spare time. — ‘ + Too often we fail to find it. We get amuse- ment instead; we listen to music that some- one else plays, read books and poems that someone else has written, go to the theater and zee plays that someone else conceived. And while these things are valuable, they leave us unsatisfied. There is something in every man : that makes him‘iwant to do something of that kind himself. “*, All right; why not try it? Get a box of, paints and some brushes and daint some pictures. Hunt up a teacher and learn to play the piano. Or, if your taste runs fh :hat way, sit down with a pad of paper and a yencil and write something—poetry, essays, a aovel, anything under the sun that you feel ike writing. Get a set of tools and make oid e nip models. Get a box of plastic clay and try your hand at sculpture. his isn’t saying that you have undeveloped talent. Probably you haven’t. But that doesn’t matter. Suppose the pictures that you gaint would make a competent artist lift an * ayebrow; suppose that your writings never see e the light of day; what then? There is a joy in creating that is worth great trouble to ex- one rate eeseeawaenee ieresese — rience. In the old days, when life was simpler and ere were fewer machines, it was more easy to find self-expression in one’s daily work. A f carriage maker, for instance, could get all the glow of creative work by seeing his product “grow under his hands. Now he can’t, for the simple reason that carriages aren’t made that way any more. Craftsmanship is disappear- i We must turn to our spare time for our E of expression. But there are possibilities of deep and en- satisfaction for us. We can all, in our at home, be artists or poets or musi- or craftsmen. We may not be very good pnes, but that doesn’t matter. We can make pur lives more significant and more enjoyable. { { Not Oratory—Business! ; The traditional statesman, with his frock coat, string tie and silver-tongued oratory, is extinct; and-Senator Henry F. Ashurst of t sees no reason to bewail his passing. t “Today’s statesman,” says Senator Ashurst to a mid-west real estate board, “is a business- like gentleman in an ordinary business suit, ho either has wide knowledge of business af- sairs or is doing his best to accumulate that pocessary knowledge.” i | | For this age, the senator explains, is the age 9f science and business.

It reasy to mistake growing pains for the symp- of mortal illness. Accordingly, it is not that a great many people are wor- Published y the Bismarck Tribune Company, | .| hensively and intelligently humane. Leaving Maybe this is too bad and maybe it isn’t; at any rate that is the way of it, and the sooner we realize it the better for us. " When America adopted mass production it started out on an entirely new tack in civiliza- tion. Never before did any nation set out to live by the machine. We have started on a path from which we could not turn back if we would; why not wake up to that fact and stop " thinking in terms of 1880? Upon what does our future chiefly depend? Like it or not, it depends chiefly on that magic word — prosperity. If our nation is to be healthy and happy its factory chimneys must be belching smoke. You can laugh at Babbitt if you will, you can lament “standardization” and “factory civilization” until you are out of breath, but you can’t change that fact. It were best to face it. : No one knows what the future holds. It cer- tainly will be unlike anything that has gone before. And are there not indications that it will be more dazzling, more splendid, as well? We are being freed in a way our forefathers never imagined; freed from toil, from poverty, from hunger, from the limitations of time and space. Presently we shall be free enough so that each man, from the highest to the lowest, can begin to develop his boundless human po- tentialities. We are at the dawning of a new era. There is no need for lamentation. Best Roads in the World When foreign countries, to prove their own superior progressiveness, cite statistics show- ing that the United States has a mileage of unimproved highways greatly in excess of their own they, intentionally or by an over- sight, fail to explain that this country has a highway system much vaster than their own and also more miles of improved roads. With 3,000,000 miles of roads to surface and maintain it is not surprising that ordinary dirt highways are siill to be found in this coun- try. There is more cause for wonder in the fact that here one may motor thousands of miles on hard-surface roads and that virtually all of the forty-eight states are bound together by improved highweys. a America’s federal highway system of 182,- 134 miles, of which 69,834 is completed and 2,469 ‘miles under construction, is larger than the entire highway systems of some other na- tions, but federal roeds fcrm only a smail fraction of the highway system of the United States. Few nations have nations! budgets as large as the sum expended for highway improve- ments in this country eath year by national, state, county and municipal governments. Tremendous as the national debt is it does not represent the cost of complcting even the pr- mary and secondary highway systems of the several states. | Editorial Comment | The Death Penalty and Hickman (Minneapolis Tribune) The imposition of the death penalty upon Hickman was hardly more than a formality. After the verdict brought in by the jury, al- most no one doubted that he would be sen- tenced to be hanged. The case was cut and dried. If any crime ever merited the death penalty, certainly Hickman’s did. None the less it is quite likely that some good people will permit themselves to get all worked up over the inhumanity of capital pun- ishment. .They will argue that Hickman was not sane when he committed his atrocious crime. They will say that the jury’s verdict that he was sane meant nothing because juries are not qualified to pass on questions of sanity. To this the reply might be made that the more society reverences human life the more it is bound to exterminate the Hickmans. It makes little practical difference to society whether Hickman is sane or insane. The fact that he is a known killer is enough. The one supreme- ly important consideration faced by society is that of security. Society has a shade less sc- curity when a known killer is alive than when he is dead. Even if he is confined to a peni- tentiary or an institution for the insane, the point still holds good. Confined to a peniten- tiary or an institution for the insane, there is always the chance that he may be released or that he may escape. But there is no chance of his being released from the grave, or of breaking out of it. The particular menace to social security implied by Hickman’s contin- ued existence is completely wiped out only when his life is extinct. Some sort of a case can be made out against the use of the death penalty in instances where the evidence is circumstantial purely. Here there is a chance that society might err and put the wrong man to death. If the death penalty be compulsory, juries, quite naturally fearful of making a mistake, often acquit the accused, even though the weight of the evi- dence be against him. This is surely not a de- sirable state of affairs for the simple reason that it is contrary to the best interests of pub- lic security. Hence it is clear that the death penalty should be used only with discretion, and with the thought of mass security upper- most in mind. But if there is any one type of case the death penalty should cover, that ty; is the known killer. The question of insani here simply obscures the issue. It can be satisfactorily settled because insanity is a subject even experts know too little about. Maybe all killers are insane. Maybe.a small part of them are. Maybe a large part of them are. Nobody knows. The field is one of con- jecture. But social security is not a matter of conjecture. And we certainly have greater s»- cial security with the known killers dead, and less ‘social security with the known killers alive. The person who advocates greater so cial security is the person animated by a genu ine regard for human life rather than the per- son who advocates less social security. Both may be humane; but the first is more compre. known killers about, even with guards and at tendants, is not much to be commended. S»- age is safer with the killers permanently ou’ of the way. Why gamble with other 'ives? In Tee Se tenths cok conan, He thr ce 8) ley es cape, they nearly always go back to killing. penalty best solves the problem of the killer, whether we assume that he: is right his or born with some sort of a com- li other considerations are secondary to the consideration of mass security. ' never BY RODNEY DUTCHER Washington, Feb, 20.—There are few men in public life as the Hon. Gifford cently governor of Pennsylvania, _Yet in Pinchot’s magnificent library your correspondent observed a copy of the Agricultural Year Book for 1904. Pinchot has so many books—including a large number on: agriculture—that one should not be surprised to find anything at all among them, but—. Every congres- sional secretary on Capitol Hill knows the 1904 year book. It was in that year that the De- partment of Agriculture undertook to explain just how one should manufacture wines, brandies and champagnes. Demand for the vol- ume ‘still’ continues and congress- men get many requests for the in- formation contained, which is why most offices have a copy on hand. One of the safest bets on earth is that that isn’t why Pinchot keeps it. Incidentally, Pinchot, for all his uncompromising attitude on pro- hibition, probably has as many “wet” friends who admire him for his other phases as anyone we can think of. eee Scads of money are sometimes spent to win a senatorial toga, but no senator was ever seen to wear one of the things except in certain fool cartoons. There are, however. other privileges that go with the job. In the Capitol and at the Sen- ate Office Building, when a senator enters an elevator the car goes to his floor regardless of who else may be inside or where who else may want to go. An ordinary gent may be riding up to the fourth floor and if a sen- ator gets on at the third he goes back down where he started. With enough senatorial traffic and enough bad luck, it is conceivable that an ordinary being might ride for half an hour in a Senate elevator with- out being able to get off at his LETTER the other day ordered a loaded ele- vator stopped at the main floor and Nearly everyone did. or To what is known as the presi- dent’s room, just off the Senate lobby, the senators come to gee newspapermen who send in to the floor asking to see them. A page bears the requests for audiences. The other day they had a new ki who didn’t know one senator from another. The result was a proces- sion of senators who came march- ing out to see reporters who want- ed someone else. The regular page, heaven be thanked, is now back on Hl the job. f BARBS | is el A great number of women in Chi- cago have taken up the game of pool, says a social reformer.

Not by going to bed at all hours of the morning, I assure you, He had his full eight hours of undisturbed slumber every night, and he needed it. He couldn’t have kept on his feet if we'd tried to.go around as much as we did fore we were married. But it seems to be that you mod- ern girls want a beau and a hus- band rolled into one.

LonGesT! meee THREE, ~~ FOUR, ~FIVE, ~~ SI- D STARCHES, IODINE AND GOITRE There are many forms of thyroid derangement, but the two common types are called “simple goitre” and “exophthalmic goitre.8 The simple goitre is the one which is more easily diagnosed, as the gland en- larges so much that even the layman can recognize this trouble by the enlargement seen at the front of the neck. The neck often becomes twice as large as the normal, and in some of the mountainous districts of Europe the enlargement of the thy- roid is so great that it looks like a large sack hanging from the neck. Goitres are more frequently found + | with women than with men, the pro- en being about eight to one. sually the only unpleasant symp- toms from a simple goitre are those due to pressure from the enlarge- ment. This may cause the trachea or esophagus to become flattened, which may interfere with breathing or swallowing. Sometimes the pres- sure upon the vagus nerve produces cardiac symptoms, such as rapid pulse, There are unquestionably “goitre belts” or locations where this simple form of goitre is more prevalent. Many have thought that the large amount of alkali in the water in t.ountainous sections is responsible for the ey amount of goitre found in these districts. The seashore seems to be the one place where there is the least amount of simple goitre compared with other places, such as the midlands and mountains. It has been found that iodone is an important element necessary to the normal functioning of the thy- roid gland. The proper amount of iodine is found to be lacking in all forms of: simple goitre. In my opinion, this is ordinarily not because | the patient does not use enough foods containing iodine, but because he does use too many other foods which! either destroy or interfere with the action of the iodine in the thyroid. Those living at the seashore use large amounts of foods, such as shell fish, which contain a great deal of iodine, and do not use so many of the starches which are used by the people living in the in- terior countries and in mountainous places. T hold that the over-comsumption of carbohydrates is the one impor- tant cause of both the simple and exophthalmic goitres, al use of drinking water containing large amounts of alkalies appears to also have a certain effect in stop- ping up or interfering with the nor- mal action of the thyroid gland. The treatment which is usually given to cases of simple goitre de- pends upon the administration of iodine either internally or by paint- ing iodine over the front of the neck. If this treatment is given carefully, it will usually bring about marked changes at once in a reduc- tion in the size of the gland. In- ternal. medication with inorganic iron compounds will also temporarily self or got in a restaurant, why you just try it and see. And #f Alan insists that you go out you'll probably fly off the han- die and tell him he has no con- sideration.

It’s all in the way it comes home to you, call it what you like. You can tell Alan I'll send some more jelly and preserves and I want you to get up and make him a decent brakfast to eat with them.

When the notion first dawned to turn a good old-fashioned dog biscuit emp.-ium into a beauty shop for “poms” and such, Ihaven- doubt that tr proprietor put his tongue in his cheek and chuckled loudly. He does not laugh any more.

It seems to me that without would be of no use to the body.” Answer: The special ventilation of every room in the house is of the utmost importance, and to get the best results this problem must be carefully studied. As a rule, a | good plan is to provide for openings near the ceiling where the warm, devitalized air can out. Low epeaees should also We provided for the intake of fresh air. All gas stoves should be provided with the proper vents and where a fire is burning in the room, more outside jair must be admitted to keep up the supply of oxygen. . Question: Mrs. J. A. S, writes: “I am_ greatly interested in your articles, and am following your menus exactly as printed in the Sat- urday issue of the Tribune. I would like to ask why you never mention the onion, as I was under the im- \pression that it was a healthful vegetable.” Answer: The-only practical use tu the human that I have been able to find for the onion is to fry it in grease and apply it as a poultice over irritated lungs. The irritation produced by the onions on the skin is sufficient to act as a counter-irri- tant in much the same way as a mustard plaster acts, but this irri- tating effect is not desirable inside of the stomach or intestines. Question: Anxious asks: “What causes the gums to recede, and how smay I help them?” : Answer: — Receding gums are caused by the effects of hyper- acidity of the stomach, and are also due to decomposition of food between the teeth bac- terial growth, and allwing the teeth to become coated with tartar. Go to a dentist and have your teeth scaled and the gums treated. At the same time make the proper dietetic changes so as to overcome U over-acidity of the gastric juice. 19: —_—__—__—______» { { At the Movies | _ CAPITOL THEATRE Norma Talmadge, as Dolores Romero, in “The Dove,” comes to the Capitol Theatre Tuesday.
