(Official City, State and County Newspaper) THE IDEAL CITIZEN An ideal citizen is the one who sees clearly and ever something good in the city and never loses the oppor- tunity to spread that good news abroad that others might derive the benefits therefrom, whose unselfish- ness prompts him to want others to share opportunities, health and pleasure which his home city offers. Loyalty is the first requisite for the ideal citizen. The love for the place and his neighbors which dis- misses the thought of self interest or policy and re- solves itself into the knowledge of duty when he does all in his power to make the city a better place in which to live. There are three distinct attitudes which a citizen may ‘assume toward the place in which he lives, which fur- nishes him food, shelter, and association for himself and family, to boost, to remain quiet or to knock, The booster is that ideal citizen who is never forgetful of the obligations which are due the home city. He is ever found at the front when any movement is launched which might tend to the advancement of the interest of the city. While others see darkly, to him good is vis- ible at all times. The quiet citizen is satisfied to let the neighbor do the work and content to lull the city asleep and let it rest. The knocker is the man who is without a country. There is no room for him anywhere; his presence dampens the enthusiasm of every man or group of men who unfortunately come in contact with him. Having no faith in his own ability to go forward, he naturally lacks faith in his home city to do so. You have the chance to belong to either of the three classes. If you are a booster, your neighbor knows it well and will boost you. If you are aligned with the quiet class, you will not be regarded one way or the other, for the man who selects to steer in the middle of the strear:, gets no support from either side. If un- fortunately you are a knocker, get ready to be knocked, for eventually it is coming to you. As you give, so will it be meted out to you. HAVING “A GOOD FRONT” “Run down at the heel”—it speaks loudly; your char- acter is judged largely by it; your whole fortune may be dependent upon it; so, young man, young woman, start in right, and never be “run down at the heel.” All of us owe it to ourselves, our families and our ‘friends to dress well. This is not an advertisement for the clothing merchant, or any other merchant; it is a plea for better dress and for what it means. Better ress does not mean that we shall “flower out” in a brand new suit every time that fashion decrees a change; we can dress well by dressing neatly and not faddishly, and we can dress well without expensive clothing. We can be neat in appearance without a new suit; we can be clean; our shoes can be clean—and not Fun down at the heel—and our hat can reflect good taste. “The first thing I notice about a woman is her hat ‘and then I look at her shoes,” is the observation of a Bismarck man, who dresses well, but not expensively, and whose wife dresses well, but not expensively. ~ “A good front” gets one by; it carries an introduction ‘by itself; it inspires confidence; it brings business; it #s an ambassador of commercial progress; it is vital ‘to @ young man or a young woman; it is vital to the middle-aged; it is decidedly pleasing in people of old age. We—all of us—like to meet folks with “a good front.” We ought to cultivate the habit of always having “a good front.” “A good front” will put aman or a woman to the f front in a community, and “a good front” is never down at the heel.” “A good front” is slang for being - Thoughtful parents are those who try very hard to Tive up to their children. ATHLETES LIVE LONGER _ ~As the collegiate sporting season opens, it is interest- sm img to consider statistics on longevity among college thiet Sufficient study has not been made to form ite conclusions, but the results of investigations of lives of more than 5,000 athletes in ten leading east- colleges show a number of striking tendencies. “Compared with the average citizen, athletes are bet- insurance risks.

Before the age 45 years the death rate is higher among the mem- fs of college crews and baseball teams than for the American. | This study has gone just far enough to create a de- for a much. more extensive and thorough investi- of ‘he entire subject. Completed, it may show tions, end it is not reasonable to expect that these can all be paid for out of current revenues. This view of the situation may well be regarded, how- ever, as a bit too optimistic. It would be extremely un- fortunate were it to find such universal acceptance as to lead to new orgies of municipal ext: ce. Munici- pal administrators are too apt to imagine that it is J enearer end easier to shift the cost of public improve- ments upon future generations, whereas the borrowing method, if unwisely used, is the most extravagant form for financing public improvements. While it is well to have both sides of the situation fairly stated, the seri- ousness of the rapid increase in the bonded indebtedness of the cities cannot and ought not to be minimized. BUYING IN BISMARCK There is no statement more fallacious than “you can buy cheaper out of town.” Yet it surely is not uncom- mon in Bismarck. Every town and city has its popula- tion of mail order and out-of-town buyers, but fortun- ately for the home-town merchants, the homé-town it- self and the residents in that town, the proportion of out-of-town buyers is never large. There may be instances where there have been ap- parent economies through buying away from home, but how do the books balance at the final reckoning? If the purchases have been made by mail what saving is left after the time, postage and carrying charges are deducted? Is the railroad fare added to the shopping expenses on those bargain hunting excursions to the nearby city or larger town? Is there not also a value in dollars and cents for the worry, delay and disappoint- ment thet are inevitable in mail order buying? There is an unselfish community side of this buying- at-home question which cannot be ignored by the good citizen, People who believe in Bismarck must believe in its merchants who are an integral part of their town. Buying-at-home serves a double purpose when people buy at home. Through their buying the home-town merchants prosper, the town prospers because of the Prosperity of its merchants, public improvements fol- low municipal prosperity, and the public benefits from the public improvements. Can anybody afford to trade away from home when there is always a means of get- ting what they want at home and at as good or better prices than the same goods cost away from home? Keep on buying at home and the merchants will not stop buying for you. | Editorial Comment | THE COMFORTS OF HOME (Salina Journal) The comforts of home, like most other things, are comparative. In the heart of civilization, where prog- ress is far advanced, almost every convenience known is demanded before the home is considered comfortable. Out in camp, out in the wilds, a cabin that shields from rain and storm, that is barred to mcsquitoes, that as a bed, a table and a tiny stove of some kind, is re- garded as extremely comfortable. We have just seen a picture of the portable house Commander Richard E. Byrd will use in his journey to the bleak Antarctic. It is a mere box of a couple of rooms. But it will keep out the bitter cold of the South Pole regions. It will allow sleeping and eating unmind- ful of the blizzards that may be raging outside. It is spoken of as promising the peak of comfort. it should, conditions at the pole considered. Set down in the midst of a thriving community it would be a mere shack, despised, unwanted. But as said, comfort is & matter of comparison. s CHICAGO'S BETTY DARLING (Todelo Blade) In the world of athletics there is admiration for all who do their best, and love for the winners, the heroes and heroines of the game. Only a few months ago a Chicago girl of 17 won her first tace. Then to Amster- dam, where she captured the Olympic prize in the 100 meters for her sex. She is Betty Robinson. Monday Chieago’s darling Betty arrived home, to a welcome of hugs and kisses from her classmates and athletic companions; flowers and brass bands, a public reception and inevitable speechmaking. Betty's feet are fleet, but the grand welcome found her tongue slow. She could say little more than the traditional phrase of her sex and declare: “Oh, it’s wonderful!” This school girl’s achievement is of no great import- ance in itself, but the thrill that comes to the per- former in competitive contests is electrical. It is com- municated to other hearts. The spirit, the animation is broadcast and is made vocal in the avplause of spec. tators. Communities have an asset in clean, competitive sports. SAUERKRA (Duluth Herald) No doubt many remember in a famous silly season ten years back when eating sauerkraut was regarded as a sign of disloyalty. Not a few gave up their spare- ribs and sauerkraut rather than be ranked with the public enemy. It was at about that time too when “German fried” potatoes were taken from the menus of hotels and restaurants. But these foods have come back, not exactly with a vengeance but in a properly sustaining way. st year four hundred thousand fort; e-gallon barrels of kraut were made and sold in this country, for which the manufacturers got more than three and a half million dollars. Another item of interest is that sauerkraut was not originally a German dish at all. The Germans were and are its victims rather than its in- ventors. All sorts of investigators say that this “krauted” cab- | bage was first made in Asia and then passed along into Germany, whence it found its way hete. Many doctors and dietitians are strong for it. They have to be to recommend it. 3 One-seventh of all commercial American cabbage is made into sauerkraut. It is not at all complicated. All one needs to do is to slice and shred cabbage, pack it into tubs or barrels with a sprinkling of salt as one goes along and head up the receptacle. Nature does the rest. The juice of the cabbage ferments the mass into kraut. Edwin Le Fevre of the department of agriculture isan thority. whe upholds the Asiatic origin theory of sauerkraut ethaps he knows. Certainly he should know a lot about cabbage and kraut, as he has written a department pamphlet abcut them. One sometimes wonders, however, if everything that has been set out in government pamphlets is true.

Each enema should contain one quart of jin warm water, and should be through a long rectal tube from an enema bag that is suspended about four or five feet high on the wall, with thé patient in the knee-chest position. The use of enemas does not pro- vide the real cure, bi a helpful course of treatments wi tends to lessen inflammation ‘of the intes- tines and to increase the flow of secretions. There is no danger of enemas weakening the bowels, as might occur from the continual use of strong laxatives. i It is well to begin the diet with a three- or four-day fruit fast, using only one kind of acid fruit at a m¢ eating as much as desired thr times a day. For example, use or- anges one day, apples the next, and grapes the third, etc. You must be careful not to eat or even taste any- thing else, such as bread, potatoes, soup, or eid & because if you do you will not have the results you desire. After the three- or four-day fruit fast you may begin on your regular diet, but it advisable to avoid starches, sugai id milk for a time. Eat large quantities of greens to provide the intestines with plenty of bulk. This is very important at first until the intestinal muscles have become strengthened through their work of pushing the cellulose of the greens forward. Large salads should be used at least twice a day, and two or three cooked non-starchy vegetables, such as spinach, earrots, summer squash, asparagus, celery, ete. < It is important to cultivate the habit of going to the toilet at a regular time, morning and evening. Do not allow anything to interfere with this habit, which will be one of the best that you have ever culti- vated. . Constipation is much more com- mon in civilization than in savagery, and this is partly due to the position assumed at the toilet. The savage squats and in this way the position of the internal o1 changed and the rectum is opened so that the moveménts are more com- "| plete. This position may be imitated by dra a chair in front of you and placing the feet on top of the chair, drawing the knees to the chest.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Question: 0. J. asks: “Is it safe to marry a person who has had con- sumption in the first stages and is now cured?” Answer: One who has had tuber- culosis can usually get perfectly well, and there is no reason. why she should not be married. A woman who has been tubercular must be sure ‘she has completely recovered before she subjects herself to the ordeal of childbirth. I will be glad to send you ua! articles on this subject if you will send me a large, self-addressed, stamped envelope, in newspaper. Question: M. K. L. asks: “What is the difference detween goat’s milk and cow's milk?” Answer: Goat's milk contains more protein and fat but not quite as much of the carbohydrate element a: cow's milk. Goat's milk also has a larger | oti of mineral mat- ter and. less water. If one lives ‘where he can have his own goat he will be insured of a healthful supply of milk, as goats are naturally healthy animals and their milk is as and often superior to cow's milk. There are very few localities where goat’s milk is distributed by delivery system, so most people must be content to use good cow’s milk. Question: U.
