(Official City, State and County Newspaper) Just Plugging Along great saving to the people of the state and Reduction in the rates on gasoline means i Baltorial Comment ___| should be reflected in the price of this commod- ity. Oil products are also affected by the deci- sion of the interstate commerce commission. The North Dakota board of railroad commis- sioners has been very active in this rate case and is entitled to credit for the victory just announced. The commissioners continue to plug along without the use of grand-stand tactics or the ballyhoo, but are always alert to the best inter- ests of the people of the state. With the departure of Frank Milhollan, Fay Harding has been selected as chairman of the board by his associates. Mr. Harding is well equipped by past experience for this post. He has worked in complete harmony with Mr. Mil- hollan for many years and is well known for his excellent judgment on matters coming be- fore the board. A great amount of work has been placed upon the shoulders of the commission within the last few years until it has become one of the most important if not the most important branch of state government. Supervision and regulation of utility rates as well as railroad tariffs have more than doubled the functions of this important board. Its contacts with the public are manifold even to the regulation of ture, and as for the public’s literary tastes, they’ extend over the entire scope of literature from the classics, to the lightest fiction. Thousands own radios but not all enjoy the same radiv program. Have not the American people been} found too critical and divergent in their views | and opinions on certain occasions? BRST BOT | Improving Boulevards Care of boulevards through the residence district should be a great stimulus to property owners to spruce up their lawns and yards.' Probably no agency but the city can give such a service. The plan has worked out well in other cities and Bismarck should be no excep- tion to the general rule. | Green and neatly trimmed boulevards add | mtich to the attractiveness of a city. Bis- marck has reached the stage when beautifica- tion is necessary. To keep in step with prog-} ress and attract those seeking a new home, this city must keep up with mcdern ideas. The cost should not be any greater than if the prop- erty owners were to do the work themselves and it can be much better done by the city. A necessary step in the near future is a thorough revamping of the residential light. | ing system. The present arrangement is out of ; date. Bismarck’s residential section is inade- quately lighted. The old swinging arc lights or small globes on posts hidden among trees are being discarded everywhere and the orna- mental post is proving better and more eco- nomical. The Reid Flood Control Bill (Devils Lake Journal) The Reid flood control bill, formally offered to the House of Representatives yesterday, is of special interest to Devils Lake and North Dakota because it is said to contain provisions for the creation of reservoirs at the heads of streams which pour into the Mississippi, and this provision, it is hoped, would include the diversion of the Missouri river to Devils Lake, as urged upon senators and congressmen by the Missouri River Diversion association of Devils Lake and by a number of South Dakota cities which see great benefits to them in the form of increased water supplies by reason ot the diversion, at the same time keeping thc annual floods of the Missouri below Garrison under control. The Reid bill, by creating a commission to study and supervise. flood control plans, ap- pears the most feasible solution of the problem yet devised, since this commission will be abie to take the matter out of politics and proceed in a practical and feasible manner. The bone of contention in this bill, however, like that in the Jones bill recently passed by the senate, is the question of financing flood control, but common carriers on the highways of the state, a new function of increasing importance with the ent of motor transportation. The public probably does not hear so much of this state department because its personne! is engaged in duties of a highly technical nature, but when a it rate victory is hand- ed down the people should know just where the evedit belongs We Generally Make the Best Americans are the only people in the world who habitually boost the goods of their foreign competitors. The American merchant’ display- ing an article says, “Fine stuff; fine stuff, imported.” The customer feels flattered. He has been sized up to be a man who would demand the best. He would not be content with ordinary domestic goods. When he shows his purchase to his friends, he says with pride, “Best there is in the market; it’s imported.” Steehis The ely sare, “This Is the - e says, “This is the very latest thing, right from Paris.” “Isn’t this just absolutely correct? It’s all the go with the ‘bright younger set’ in London this season. Imported, you, know.” But there is no reciprocity in the matter on the part of Europeans. Britons, Germans and Frenchmen keep up a constant exhortation to buy goods made at home. “British goods are best” is dinged into the ears and kept before the eyes of the English people constantly. Germany has a complete array of slogans voic- ing the sentiment that he who buys foreign goods takes the bread from German workmen their families. ;.| have been generally circulated. 3 0) ition, American-made goods easing.

The steady flow of farm population to the cities in search of employment following failure to make a liv- ing on the farms is largely accountable for the surplus in number of men over number of jobs. According to Secretary of Agriculture Jardine, more than three milllion persons have left the farm in the past few years. The reasonable course to abate the distress with which industry finds itself confronted would be to rehabilitate agriculture so that it might draw back to itself the man power that has been forced to desert it.

BY RUTH DEWEY GROVES ‘My Dear Marye: Whatever are you going to HOW CATARRH 18 PRODUCED An acute case of catarrh mani- fests in two stages. First, there is the dry, congested, swollen mucous membrane. Then the mucous mem- brane suddenly becomes moist with abnormally free discharge of mucus which is more or less altered in ality. Extreme inflammation of the membrane exists, whether it is jin the nose or throat, or any of the other mucous membranes of the body. This acute inflammation is usually called a “cold,” especially if the inflammation is in the nose or throat. The irritating cause of the dis- charge may be the breathing of fine particles of dust or the pollen from flowers, or often the invasion of bacteria. However, it is almost im- possible for one of these “colds” to start unless the person who con- tracts the cold has been enervated for some time and his resistance to disease is therefore below par. Where chronic catarrh exists, the mucous membrances are constantly throwing out excesses of mucus con- taining epithelial cells, white blood cells, and organic mineral matter. This discharge may be present in the air passages, such as the nose, throat or lungs, or may even come from the stomach or alimentary canal, with discharges from rectum. Even excessive discharges of mucus from the genital organs can be under the name of catarrh. The fundamental causes lying back of any of these types of "Chronic catarrh are always an excess accum- ulation in the blood of too large a Kees ve! ee Matra from e carbohydrates, 8, the su; and starches, such as white flour, lished rice, etc. These are all acid-forming, and con- eeaaeney lower the alkalinity of the sugar, cornstarch, Most commercial su; are so deprived of their alkalinity that they | of are also acid-forming, and have the effect of producing in the blood a lowered state of alkalinity. These effete materials, of no use to the body, must be thrown out in some manner, and the body often uses the mucous membranes as a channel for this elimination. If one is suffering from any form of chrore: catarrh, the first thing to do is to eliminate, for a time at least, all sugars and starches, and give the blood a chance to cleanse itself of these waste products which cannot be used in the building of normal cell structure. ons The body will quickly eliminate 1928 as once again regain its normal me. It is a wise plan, also, to stimu- late all the other eliminative organs of aghinnet such as bs kid. neys, intestines, etc. quan- titles of water should be taken be- tween meals, a good sweat induced each day, and it is a good plan to take, for sometime at least, one enema daily. It will take considerable time to bring about a complete cure, and one must be patient with these treat- ments and stay on a rigid diet if a permanent and lasting cure is de- sired. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS estion: A. H. G. writes: “Kindly advise if there is a cure for neuritis of about five years’ stand- as patient’s limbs are dis- abled on account of Mecligie 3 having hardened in the joints. If there is no absolute cure, would a strict fast and diet relieve the awful suffering? Yould a warm climate be of benefit in preference to cold winters ip Answer: The patient you ask about is probably suffering from ar- thritis. have never seen a case that cannot be cured as far as re- lieving the pains is concerned even though the extra deposit of calcium in the joints cannot be entirely re- moved. Warm climate encourages a ter amount of skin elimination, it there is no reason why arthritis or any type of rheumatism cannot t_ cured in a cold climate, provi ‘ing the patient uses the proper amount skin washing and encourages elimination through certain hydro- therapy treatments. Question: Mrs. 0. J. S. writes: “Ever since your diet lessons ap- in the paper I have felt following them. I have been and still am overweight but am slowly reducing. I wish to know if the genuine wholewheat bread is fattening?
