Texas loves the longhorn for the memories that he represents. He is to Texas a sort of sacred steer. He could run faster than any steer that ever lived. He could endure much, but as beefsteai he would be esteemed a total loss by the standards of today. Time was when the longhorn had his place in North Dakota. Few there are here now who 29! can remember that day. Today we have purebred sire campaigns and Range cattle show the effects of good breeding, especially in the sales price at the stockyards. There are longhorns in every walk of life. {But they are nassing as the longhdrn steer passed. The elimination campaign is on in every human undertaking. Its results are most evident. And perhaps it is not too much to hope that some day it will reach the field of practical politics in our own North Dakota. And when it docs what a lot of casualties there will be in all present political alignments. Editorial Comment | More Barriers to Understanding (London Times) . . . If we are to get into touch with America it is important that we should analyze her reactions to her own problems rather than her reactions to ours. The American constitu- tion, surely the most inelastic in the world, has made it very difficult for the United States to be molded by experience or to go back on error. What has once been done tends to be perpet- uated. In no country is the middle of the road so inaccessible. Prohibition is a very good case in point. No presidential candidate dare come out on the subject, and the moderate man is more or less content to allow the matter to lapse into a semi-accepted nonobservance. But if this view of the law is allowed in one case, why not in another? Contrary to the sancti- monious Nordic view, lawlessness in America is, I am convinced, to be laid less at the door of the foreign immigrant than of the rabid re- former. For as soon as a number of acts that no sane man thinks wrong are labeled criminal the law falls into disrepute, for it has become not a protection but an irritant. When we say Americanism we mean a point of view about life that is new and alien to us. All-Weather Roads Pay (Long Prairie, Minn., Leader) More and more it is coming to be realized that, in building roads, they must be built for winter use as well as for summer use. There is as much need for travel in winter as in sum- mer. In fact, there is more need, for winter travel is more apt to be the necessary travel, while summer travel runs much to joy and pleasure riding. The past winter has shown again that the graded road is the big money saver when it comes to removing snow and keeping the roads open. The roads that had good grades with proper ditches at the sides were clear of snow practically all the time. The roads built level with the fields and without proper ditches, were the snow-blocked roads cash. Again, it appears this spring that the history of the year before is repeated —the roads where the snow was removed are the roads which this spring are the earliest dry and in good condition for travel. Even the high snow banks at the sides in some mysterious manner have soaked away without filling the roadbeds with water. This has been true in every case, except where the road grade was such as to make it impossible for the water from the snow banks to run anywhere except into the roadbed. The fear that piling up snow banks is going to ruin the spring roads seems to be a groundless one. The Feather Bed Passes (Columbus, Ohio, State Journal) Manufacturers of mattresses have united in the statement that the feather bed is dead. Official pronouncement was made at a recent convention in Chicago. The mattress men united in an anthem to its memory, insisting the remaining feather beds should be classed among the antiques. History appears to be silent on the question of the origin of the feather bed. The name of the individual who fashioned that product to meet a public need is not recorded. The world never may know and honor him or her. Plainly it was a product of pioneer days, when modern mattresses were unknown, when the man and the woman were forced to fashion and provide their domestic aids to comfort and rest. Even if the feather bed has been de- clared dead, it left a long and noble record for friendly usefulness. It was a source of pride to many good women, it gave nights of comfort and rest to weary man as the new country was reclaimed to civilization. It helped make America. Long may it be remembered. Pioneer beds were entire strangers to the modern product. The four-poster bed was made by rude hands many times, there were no woven wire springs as we have them today. Their place was filled by the bed cord, laced across the bed frame, anchored on either side to stout pegs set in the frame. As the rope was stretched from use, it was taken off and laced tighter. On the bed cord was placed the straw tick, a stout bag, filled with straw taken from the pile left at threshing time, and on top of the straw tick was placed the feather bed. Linen sheets, bleached in the sun, covered the feather bed, there were home-made blankets of real wool for covering, with quilts and comforts all made in the home. Eminent authorities declare that feathers are light, horny epidermal growths which make up the external covering and plumage of birds. In fact, feathers are found only on birds and their presence is the most distinctive char- acteristic of that group. Goose feathers were used to fill the bed ticks, as the huge bag that held the feathers was known. The pioneer woman had her own flock of geese, she picked her own feathers, an abund- ance of fine feathers for the bed gave a de- gree of excellence to the home. Occasionally the feathers were renovated, but that was a modern method. The pioneer woman washed her own feathere and the roads that took the snow removal | hoa: Standing Room Only bitterly a LETTER : By RODNEY DUTCHER NEA Service Writer Washington, May 15.—For the first time in nine presidential elec- tions, the Democratic party will have to get along this year without William Jennings Bryan. array south and west against the The Old Commoner’s absence may|northeast.

The hard tissues such as the osseous or bony structure, and the firm tendons and ligaments contain the largest proportion of this valuable element, but no cell of any other part of the body can live for very lon; unless calcium is included in its mineral composition. The blood is predominantly al- kaline, and death ensues as soon as this alkaline balance is lost and the blood becomes overcharged with acids. Judging health as 100 per cent, if the blood contains only one- half as much alkali as it should, the health of that individual so de- prived of alkaline bases is certain- ly not over 50 per cent of the normal. Calcium stands as the greatest source of this blood sup- ply of alkaline salts. Efforts are being made by chem- ists to develop some method of sup- plying this lime to the tissues through artificial means, but their efforts have so far completely failed and we are forced to fall back upon the natural source so obvious at all times. This natural supply can come only from the use of food which is rich in calcium and which has not been de-mineralized by too much preparation and changing by food merchants. Whole grains include calcium in abundance in their chemical com- position, but this element, as well as many others, is completely lost in the roller-mill process used in making white flour. Cows need the whole grain to re- main in health and give life to their calves. If fed on white flour they sicken and die within ‘a few weeks. This is because of starvation for the necessary organic minerals of the whole grain. If the cows are only fed partly on white flour, their calves will be born dead, or live only a few hours. What chance do human mothers have to be Hedellae | or bring into the world vigorous off- spring when over 50 per cent of their diet during the gestation pe- riod is composed of victuals made from bolted flour? If a sufficient supply of the leafy green vegetables is used, the loss of the whole grains will not be felt but if only excesses of pure starch are used, the blood will be robbed of its reserve of cal- cium and the cells must suffer from such loss. People who use an cxcess of de- calcified foods will always complain of being “run down.” If they ever expect to “run up” again this can only be brought about by the use of unrefined foods which will “run up” their calcium units in the cells. Calcium starved patients cannot digest food properly, as this ele- ment is indispensable in making the digestive ferments, without which the chemistry of digestion and as- similation cannot take place.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Question: Mrs. J. M. writes: “Will you please advise me what to do? I have an acid system.” Answer: What you probably mean is that you have hyperacidity of the stomach. This can be cured if you will learn to live on the proper food combinations. Follow the menus suggested in this column, and you will soon notice a change for the better. If you will send me a large, stamped, self-addressed en- velope I will be glad to send an ar- ticle, “Healthful Menus,” without charge. Question: Mrs. J. K. asks: “Is th: moderate use of condiments very harmful? I find it hard to do with- out a little spice or vinegar in pre- paring meals?” Answer: Spices and condiments stimulate the flow of digestive juice, and if they are used at all they should be used at a meat meal. Those who suffer from hyperacidity already have more acid than they know what to do with and anything which excites an additional flow of hydrochloric acid is bad for them. Question: J. H. writes: “My blood examination shows a positive Was- sermann. Will you answer me in the paper and tell me what to do?” Answer: Your question refers to a subject which cannot be freely dis- cussed in the columns of the daily paper. If you desire such informa tion, you must write a persona letter to me, giving your full name and address which, of course, wil never be published in the paper. Question: H. K. asks: “Should one eat his meal if it is time but he is not hungry?” Answer: There would not be much sickness nor many digestiv( disorders if people would eat only when hungry. Appetite and hunget are quite different, but you should at least have an appetite batons your nteals, or you should wait an miss as many meals as necessary until there is a return of your normal hunger. beautiful place without regret. That’s what I mean about old lovers, You don’t want them and you wouldn’t want to keep them from finding a successor to you, but darned if you would like to sit on the sidelines and watch your own evic- tion. Even if Florence hasn’t done so well with her boy friends she’s an attractive girl and far be it for me to say that Norman wouldn’t fall in love with her. So, with that pos- sibility to face, I think I’m of a very magnanimous nature to permit her to “ghost” for me. Devotedly, MARYE. NEXT: A lecture from Mom. [IN NEW YORK} ° New York, May 15.—The Manhat- tan speakeasy has undergone a startling change within the last few months. At the present writing, the lower the dive the higher class the crowd. What began as an occasional sport for slumming parties is fast de- veloping into a regular habit. More and more do the young ladies of the debutante class find their way into barrooms where silks and satins and sailors and diamonds and dudes mingle in an incongruous com- panionship. ie oe \ In New York’ eating Jovronlistts exponent of sophistication there ap- pears this week a sardonic comment- ary that if you wish to find the mung lady whose picture appeared in the last roto supplement of the Sunday society sections, you need go no further than the cornet of a certain resort. The place mentioned is among the various rowdy drink- ing emporiums of the Times Square belt. The speakeasy is no longer op- erated Pages for the “roughs” York makes little pretense of obey ing the law. Three of the most popular beer resorts in the city op: jerate with no attempt at secrecy. The doors are wide open; there is no pass word or no “looksee” man. One walks boldly in and no questions are asked, I dropped into one such place ir Greenwich Village after the theate. the other night. I had not entered it for nearly a year but, being a warm evening, I decided upon a glass of beer. To my amazement the place had doubled in size and it was almost impossible to get tr the bar. Where a year ago the crowd had been rough and rowdy, with frazzled women hanging about the back table, it now was as smart- ly dressed as though it had been a ritzy tea room. There were more young women on hand than men. The tables reminded me of the Dome Cafe in Paris, where women are ac- customed to sit and drink alone. It struck me suddenly that the Euro- peanizing of the American girl was under way. Talking with s young woman whose name appears in the Social Register I was told that, now that objections to women smoking have been generally overcome, equality in drinking is to be established. If the “right people” are seen drink- ing publicly, the stigma long at- tached to women drinking will be removed. That, said my inform- ant, was the means by which cigaret prejudices were overcome. |. «+ And that, seemingly, was that.
