(Official City. State and County Newspaper) Joseph and His Brethren J. A. Kitchen, who seeks a fifth term as com- missioner of agriculture and labor, announces he does not intend to make a formal campaign. That’s too bad. He was a most colorful campaigner. Warmed up to his work, in his shirtsleeves, calling things by their right names, Joseph was spectacular. There was finesse in his stage business, fervency in his voice and zeal in his method. He announces too that he will have little time to talk on purely political subjects he has so many invitations to speak at commencement exercises, farm gatherings and other non- political meetings. Mr. Kitchen has chosen well, if not wisely. On political subjects there is little to be said in this campaign. And whether the occasion be post-prandial, in the atmosphere of flowers and glorious, graduating youth, or at an alfalfa, sweet clover or purebred sire meeting, Kitchen’s versatility is all-sufficient. Kitchen is an “in” who wants to stay in. No doubt that is the big issue as he sees it. By his decision he has reduced the issue of the campaign in the personal equation to the last degree of simplicity. He is tactful though frank. He will have little time to talk about purely political subjects. Some of Joseph's brethren might well emulate his example. Every wild thing has a natural enemy to shape its evolution, and in the long run the r telephone pole may benefit the flivver. An Honor Well Deserved Well deserved honor came to Immigration Commissioner Joseph M. Devine, former gov- ernor of North Dakota, from the Greater North Dakota Association Thursday evening. In the senate chamber of the capitol of the state to which he has given the best years of his life he was presented with a plaque bearing the inscription: “In Appreciation of Joseph M. Devine, Whose Enduring Faith in North Dakota Has Been Inspiration to All Others.” State leaders honored him. It was a small tribute to a man who has done much for this state in the field of development. Mr. Devine can remember the day when 50 per cent of the children at a Children’s Day picnic in the Jim River Valley had never seen atree. He can remember sod shanty days. He was among the first to resent and effectually refute the misrepresentation which has tended to retard this state’s growth. He loves North Dakota. He has given his life to it. All North Dakota would have been glad to join with the association which paid him honor Thursday, for all North Dakota appreciates him for his vision of the future, for his public service in the past and for the splendid job he is doing today. Unselfish service is a fine yardstick by which to measure life. Joseph M. Devine has given freely of it to North Dakota. Happy thought: Other men have as many weak points as you have, and keep them con- cealed as you do. Shall We Forget? This is Poppy Day. We turn again to Flanders fields, “where heroes sleep beneath the crosses row on row.” We wear flowers in a their memory—flowers fashioned by the hands in Of other heroes in the rehabilitation hospitals, # who live to suffer still from their service in that war. _ We honor and revere those who gave all.

RESRTRALARSSTRSITS. SESIRSSRS A> Among the things that grow pretty tall in California are redwoods, mountains and testi- mony in kidnapping cases. Our Political Jeremiahs Jeremiah of old established something of a reputation as a wailer. He had something to wail apent. For years the wailing honors were conceded him. _ That was before the Fargo Forum became a reat ler. After that Jeremiah was some- t discredited. Forum’s vision of calamities in store for state would be appalling if there were any p those calamities would ever come and evening it stands at the state’s The Bismarck Tribune. eastern gateway, faces the east and wails dole- fully. Among its wailing superlatives are “Ruin,” “Bankruptcy,” and other wailing words. They are invoked most often in the-heat of |political campaigns, At that time there is a fervor in The Forum's lamentations that is terrifying. Just now it is wailing about the issue of state branch banking raised in the state cam- paign. If The Forum fears state branch banking it should stop talking about it. If the bankers fear it they should calm their mouthpiece. For it will wail us into the very thing it now so loudly decries. That is its record. This state is bigger than the city of Fargo. Yet from that city and its newspapers have come some of the most impressive efforts to dis- credit it, some of the most colossal falsehoods about it and some of the statements that have been most damaging to it. The state as a whole resents this situation. It is on record rather emphatically regarding it. Our political Jeremiahs should leave off wail- ing. Their wailings have never helped North Dakota. Their calamities have never taken They are pretty effectually discredited state of boundless opportunity. Strange to say, that will which a British sailor wrote on an egg has not yet been broken. ‘To One of the Boys The Tribune today regretfully accepted the resignation of V. E. Joslin as managing editor of this newspaper, a post he has filled for the last three years. He has purchased the Heron Lake News, Heron Lake, Minn., and takes over the news- paper early in June, The Tribune and every member of its or- ganization is sorry to lose Mr. Joslin. He has been a loyal, conscientious, hard-working em- ploye. He chooses a field attractive to many news- paper men and in it The Tribune is sure he will have splendid succe: He will be a valuable and constructive citizen of the town where he goes to live. The Tribune joins his many friends here in extending every good wish for his future success. Fame is much like radio. The more the volume, the more the static. The price of hens jumped 2 cents a pound in Kansas City and poultrymen boldly claim it is due to the meeting of the Methodist confer- ence here. Editorial Comment The “Foreign-Made” Complex (St. Paul Daily News) Americans are frequently accused of being egotistic. Foreigners sometimes tell us we have a superiority complex. A French girl, writing to the Chicago Daily News, perhaps comes nearer the truth when she says Americans really have an inferiority com- plex. Most of us over here come to believe, be- cause we hear it so often, that imported goods are the best. English tweed is the real thing. German universities are the best in the world; our doctors must studye in Vienna; our musicians must go abroad; French bread is better than American bread, and imported Christmas cards and automobiles are the finest. We pay more for poor Swiss cheese made in New York or Wisconsin. To feel the way we do about many kinds of foreign goods is partly a pose and partly mere ignorance, Edison's Farm Relief (St. Paul Dispatch) Thomas Edison holds that the farmer grows too much foodstuffs. He believes the Ameri- can farmer can grow rubber and other commer- cial products from plants hitherto considered weeds or waste. In his farm garden of nine acres in Florida, Mr. Edison has planted 1,400 wild plants. So far more than 80 of these con- tain rubber. He finds that at least 12 of them will grow on Southern cotton lands without in- jury by frost. “Goldenrod, plain goldenrod that grows wild,” says Mr. Edison, “is one of the best sources of rubber I have found.” Contrary to common opinion, rubber is not the product of any one tree or plant. It is found in more than 100 different varieties, in- cluding milkweed, lettuce and poppy. In the valley of the Amazon the rubber comes from small trees; in Guiana from large ones; in Ecuador and Mexico from a species of bread- fruit tree; in Assam, Asia, and in Africa from a fig tree. Although it has been known for some time that many American plants contain the latex or fluid from which rubber is made, cultivation and extraction have not been considered com- mercially. If Mr. Edison can make them so, it will be an achievement not unworthy even so great a genuis as he. Reverse English (Grand Forks, N. D., Herald) To those who are inclined to take seriously the outpourings of Mayor Bill Thompson and others of his ilk regarding British influences, conspiracies, etc., in the United States it may come as something of a shock to learn that somewhat similar ideas are cherished by vari- ous British individuals and organizations re- garding the working of American agencies in England. In a recent issue of the London Morning Post, for example, there is an editorial expressing regret that the course of the British govern- ment in constrictions on the rubber output has been such as to give rise to the rumor “that in this as in some other matters the government is obedient to diplomatic pressure from the United States, a country which claims freedom to restrict the output of its own commodities while imposing a veto on restrictions by other countries.” Similarly the Weekly Dispatch, one of Lord Rothermere’s chain of panes charges that there are “leaks” of confidential government in- formation to American business interests. The British newspapers, to be sure, express themselves with more moderation than Thompson does, but the idea of sinister Amer- ican influence at work in Great Britain is un- mistakably shown in their utterances, which from their very moderation of.tone are more likely to win consideration from thinking people in England than are the Chicago mayor's diatribes in the United States. WASHINGTON , LETTER By RODNEY DUTCHER NEA Service Writer Washington, May 26.—In a presi- dential year, the favorite words of the Washington correspondent are “but on the other hand—” In such a year he deals with weasel words and never predicts anything without leaving himself a large loop-hole to crawl right back through. Surely anyone who reads Washington political stories at all must have been struck with the fre- but It does seem as if a political quency of “many say this, others say that—” formula. writer ought to be able to come out and give his readers the low- down and what’s what and what's going to happen. If he can’t read the future himself he ought to have enough political friends who can tell him about it. ° . But it doesn’t work out that way At the moment it doesn’t take a very bold spirit to predict at all. that the national conventions will nominate Hoover and Smith. Many of “us boys” are beginning to do it. And yet, quite a few others will play safe right up to the conven- tions. After that, most politicians and correspondents will both enter a long pect of doubt running right up to election night. “So-and-so ought to win, but—.” One reason such expressions are written in nearly all dispatches un- til it’s all over is that anything can happen to spill the beans; all sorts of possibilities exist that may arise to bar the favorite. Another is that a fellow hears so many con- tradictory stories, for the truth is that the politicians who are sup- posed to so smart and shrewd that they are able to forecast all political results in advance even if they aren't themselves arranging them are usually just as dumb as the correspondent. The correspond- ent’s persistent question is “What do you know?” and so is the poli- tician's. ee Until quite recently, hardly any- one around here conceded that Hoover could nominated. And there are still one or two rather E BISMARCK TRIBUNE Will the Little Boy in the Front Seat Tell Us—‘What’s the Shortest Distance Between Two Points?’ | potent politicians who insist that| Smith will be blocked. The boys aren’t ever quite sure) where lies logic. Thus we find a/ lot of them insisting that Hoover | can’t be elected because the farm- ers dislike him for his opposition to the McNary-Haugen bill. But they jail admit that Coolidge could be re- elected—and yet Coolidge is the man who vetoes the bill as often as) it comes along. They argue that the agricultural states will desert to Smith rather than go for Hoover, | but they know that there isn’t any- thing in recent history to indicate that the farmers won't cast the G. 0. P. ballot in November as usual. The real doubting will come aft- er the nominations and, with Smith running, it is easy to understand why. Already the poitical wisen- heimers are busy assorting facts and factors and trying to guess just how they will operate. In another month the “some insist that—while others believe—” stories will blos- som out more profusely than ever. How large is the anti-Catholic vote? Can Smith get all the “for- eign element” vote and how import- ant will it prove to be? What will the farmers do in the doubtful states? How many votes can be won by Smith’s personality? How many lost by his Tammany antece- dents and wet record? If Hoover is nominated, how effective will his radio campaign be? Will his poor platform appearance handicap him at all? Will the border state white voters react unfavorably to his anti- segregation policy at the Census Bureau? What will become of the, 5,000,000 La Follette voters of 1924? How many people aren’t shar- ing in American prosperity and will they vote accordingly? How can anyone answer such questions as those? Even the count | of the vote won’t answer some of them, But they're all material for specu- lation. And there will be a lot more speculation than prophesying. Re- ‘publicans will be able to sleep nights, remembering their land- slides in the last two elections. | Democrats will rise in the eerer| ings, full of hope, realizing that 1928 has new possibilities that didn’t exist in ’20 and ’24, AN Their Letters My dear Marye: I declare you seem to get worse and worse all the time. Perhaps you don’t quite realize how your conduct appears to people who live simply and take marriage serious- ly. But you surely can’t believe that Alan wasn’t justified in being angry with you for that silly spec- tacle you arranged in Mr. Michello’s studio. It wouldn’t have been so bad if you hadn’t let everyone know that both of those men were your admirers, Any woman of my day would have felt herself degraded to have men fighting over her. And such a thing as flaunting their admira- tion would have been unthinkable. But it serves them right and I hope they’re both so disgusted with you that they let you alone, I suspect, however, that you wanted to punish Norman for his interest in Florence and merely used your friend Pedro to do it. It’s too bad, when women can use their wits to play with men and take advantage of them, that chivalry does not permit men to use their best weapon against them. I heartily recommend wife spanking for the modern generation. Having made three men unhappy you escaped too easily with a mere scolding from your husband. Not one of them would think of plot- ting against you, as you did against Norman and the other poor victim of your misguided inventiveness. So why shouldn't they be al- lowed to use their strength to pun- ish you? If Alan wants my con- sent to paddle you he can have it. But I dare say Alan knows you'd find a way to get even, or rather ahead of him. You'd want the last act as well as the last word. never knew anyone who could find so many reasons for doing things she shouldn’t do as you do, Marye. Is that one of your modern accom- plishments? Well, I hope you don’t change your mind about coming out home this | OUR BOARDING HOUSE By Ahern | we-THEN-TELL ME UP AT, -TH’ OWL'S CLUB MADOR, “WAT You 6E Goll’-To “TAKE IN -TH’ CONVENTIONS! m~wisHT I CouLD Go ALONG! ~ BACK ("77 T WAS-% A BUGGY- MAKER'S CONVENTION (A ww WAS UP FoR “To NiGHTS STRAIGHT, AN Wiids 5117, SS CHICAGO ~~ PLAVIN HIGH -Lowl-SACK NAY UPON AS ONE OF \ OF “He NATIONAL CONVENTIONS !.

Many simple diseases, like toothache, are accompanied by excruciating agony, while some deadly disease like diabetes, kidney trouble or tuber- | culosis may reach advanced stages | without the sick person being aware that anything is seriously wrong. The majority of pains occur in the abdomen, back and head. By far the most frequent pains are caused by pressure of gas in the colon and small intestines. This often re- sembles and has sometimes been diagnosed as organic disease like appendicitis, inflammation of the ovaries, or liver trouble. This gas will sometimes actually cause suf- ficient pressure as to make conges- tion in the neighboring organs. _ Almost any case of abdominal pain can be relieved by drinking warm water and taking a number of warm enemas. But one should | always search out and find the cause h can usually only be tT tained by a careful ph diagnosis. i Tenderness upon pressure is an indication of inflammation. When it is superficial, usually only the surface tissues are involved, but if the internal organs are affected, deep pressure may be needed which, if long continued, will greatly in- crease the pain. Hunger pain or pdin near the navel or under the heart is gener- ally an indication of gastritis (stom- ach inflammation). Gas in the stomach produces an uncomfortable is hardly possible for enough to cause pain one to retaii without belching up the surplus. Dull pain just below the ribs on the right ‘at the point nearest the navel may indicate gall blad- der trouble, If very sharp, asso- ciated with cramping, it may indi- cate the passage of a gall stone, al-! though I have seen several cases of the latter occurring without the ab- dominal cramps. A congested spleen is hard diagnose, as it is usually asso- ciated with a large amount of in the splenic flexure of the colo Appendicitis pains —_generally start in the pit of the stomach and shoot down to the right side, just above the pubic bone. If the pain is a little higher, it is probably caused by gas in the caecum (a part of the large colon just above the appendix). With women, pain in the lowest part of the abdomen is often caused by ovarian, womb, or bladder con- gestion. Many cases of hackache and headache are also produced re-| lexly from these disorders. Pain over the eyes indicates eye | trouble, sinus inflammation, or con-} stipation.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Question: K. L..M. writes: “I would like to know through your column something about the care of the gums. In two or three places in my mouth where the gums ex- tend downward, there is a notice- able redness. and when brushing them, and often during the day for that matter, they bleed quite a bit. Is there anything that will remedy this condition?” Answer: Cut down the acidity of your stomach by living on the right ‘dict and have your dentist treat your iecth and gums. You are doubtless suffering from pyorrhea or alveolar absorption, and need both local and constitutional treat- ment. Question: Mrs. H. R. writes: “My husband does hard — manual labor and must carry his lunch to work.
