LOGAN PAYNE COMPANY NEW YORE .... Fifth Ave. Bidg. Bldg. (Official City, State and County Newspaper) PASS THE CAPITOL BILL ‘The bill introduced last week in the legislature, to levy ® small annual tax on all taxable property throughout the state from 1929 on to the end of 1935, the revenue to go to the fund to provide for a new state capitol build- ing, is a step in the right direction. ‘The need of a new capitol is something that everybody ‘who ever has seen the present building can understand. It is not involved in intricacies of economic law like farm relief and so many other propositions. I‘sis plain and evident that neither the dignity nor the business of the state is served—the one with honor or the other with efficiency and safety—by the present antique that crowns Capitol Hill. How to finance the proposed new building can be the only matter at issue. The proposed tax of 36-100 of a mill seems a very good idea. Perhaps somebody can of- fer a better plan. It does not add a burden to taxation —all taxes, however light, keing considered burdens by those who have to pay them—as it demands only 36 cents ‘on each $1,000 of valuation. Yet it is claimed for it that 4t will raise $350,000 = year for the capitol fund. That al- teady has $600,000. ‘With such a levy returning from $350,000 upward an- nually—as the property wealth of the state increases— into the capitol fund it would soon be in order to begin development of plans for the new building and even the construction by sections could be begun while the fund is ‘As noted recently in these columns, the present build- DETROI1 Kresge Bidg u | And, as for the esthetic side of the matter, the present capitol possesses nothing of merit in beauty, whether of the antiquarian, the up-to-date or the classicism of the future that is being developed by architecture above all other arts, in America. There is every reason, therefore, for North Dakota to set in line with the other states of the Union, all cof which have capitols befitting their dignity and serving sheir needs. North Dakota is growing too greatly in its interests to be shabby in its capitol. FARM RELIEF OUTLOOK 1 starts the Hoover program for farm relief off in com- pliance with the campaign pledge made by the candi- date. This is a wise step from two considerations! enables the president-elect to fulfill his promise that an , honest effort to aid the farmers by legislation should be made if he were elected. It meets the feeling that any + attempt to provide ferm relief should be left to the guidance of Mr. Hoover, now that he has been chosen to succeed. to the presidency, without any interference at | this short session of congress. It thus also sets the stage for fixing responsibility, for it gives Mr. Hoover a , free hand in dealing with this vexing problem. More- . @ver, the incoming congress may be so much the more {receptive to suggestions the new president may submit. Just what the president-elect will have to offer he has y by the Bismarcs Tribune Company His- .|the Republicans plan to raise the tariff.

It has tended to build up and preserve the home market for the farmer’s products, it has admitted free many of the raw materials that go into manufac- tured products when used in agriculture, while it has given the produce of the soi] the tenefit of protective i duties, Prom time to time both federal and state governments have created other forms of scientific, econpmic or ad- ministrative aid and put them at. the service of the in- dustry. There has been a steady upbuilding of this structure of governmental beneficence to agriculture. The assumed stabilization corporation plan, if pro- posed, will have to meet the perplexing question as to should be given it? Possibly this treatment of the problem can and will be approached from the field of credit extension to the farms, wherein the existing financing organisms at least supply the suggestion of an interpretation of the Hoover meaning of liberal) ad- vances from the government. Much is done in these days by revolving funds. They seem to be the key to unlock all sorts of dilemmas of the farm. But the ef- fect of a surplus naturally is to depress prices, and te find some device that will at the same time offset this | tendency and still be a natural process is a paradox of economic possibility.

Some would have it carry over surpluses into succeéding years, some- what as the coffee crop of Brazil is carried over by the | valorization system of that country. Still others are of | the opinion it should determine the nature and limits of | financial assistance that cooperative associations might! need to carry on their affairs in their own way. There | has been talk of making the cooperatives function to- gether by compulsion if they fail to do so by harmony | and understanding. Then there is the fear of the gov- ernment mussing up the situation and making it the} harder for the farmers to help themselves. | ‘Whatever way the matter is viewed, it is seen that Mr. | Hoover has a hard task ahead. It is likely that he will | seek the confidence of the people by calling representa- | tive leaders of the farmers and of business organizations into consultation to deliberate in the working out of a plan and share the responsibility of making suggestions to congress. The task seems too big for one man to as- sume, where so many heads heretofore have failed. At most, whatever is done must be a palliative of in- determinate duration. Looking ahead in the light of ex- perience, it is obvious that eventually agriculture wilt solve its own problems by natural evolution of conditions. As population increases and expansion of farm production lags, the law of supply and demand will adjust the pres- ent unsatisfactory situation and shed the industry of the Patchwork of adjustment sought to be devised now with such tribulation of mind and spirit. The sad thing for Mr. Hoover, the lawmakers and the farmers to be assisted is that this natural law is not going to work out the prob- lem between now and next April. 1 The Democrats are trying to raise the deficit, while Either the days are growing longer or it’s the legisla- ture that makes them seem so. “Pax” is Latin for peace.

Mr. Smith sat down to the table and looked at the children. “Max, go and wash your hands. Ruth throw that gum away. No don’t stick it under the table. Junior, where is your handkerchief? Stop that sniffling.” “Oh, John, you're so hard on the children! 1 wish you wouldn't be eo cross,” plead Mrs. Smith plain- tively. “I'm not herd on them,” said her husband. “But I don't intend to eat any dinner opposite paws like Max's, and Ruth knows I dislike gum. And certainly when junior needs to blow his nose he needs to blow it, that’s all. I'm not cross. I’m just tell- ing them.” 4 But the children were peeved as well as their mother. Their father had used a crisp tone they resented, and it took several reassuring looks from their mother to bring back their good humor. The looks seemed to say, “I know he’s a tyrant, but we have to put up with it. Don’t mind him.” Now Mr. Smith was right and he should have had the support, not the censor of his wife. It was not the first time he had spoken of the hands, the gum, and the sniffles. Parents Should Agree Mrs. Smith should have said, “Chil- dren, I wish you would listen to your father. I think it’s high time you were remembering about those A house divided against itself, even in little matters like these of the Smith dinner table, is all wrong. It should not be so. Parents must co- operate if there is to be any success in training. the children. One father said, “I don't know much about children. I don't know much about training. I leave the matter Of discipline to their mother. Whatever she says is right.” This is rather begging the question, or dodging the issue. It is the other extreme and I don't recommend it, but at that it is betier than pulling the opposite direction. That never ise children anywhere, or parents either.

More interesting than her statistics, however, are the experience of the author herself, who traveld more than 6000 miles in India alone, ignoring the British convention which forbids a white woman, unaccompanied by a white man, to enter the lower quarters of Indian cities, even in the daytime. She slept in mud huts and was enter- tained by ruling Hindu princes. ‘Women are like that today.

An epileptic attack is often preceded by some “aura” such as a hallucination, s sense of constriction in some part of the body, or # feeling of anxiety. At the beginning of the attack, the pa- tient usually emits a sharp cry and | falls unconscious upon the floor with- | out making any effort to protect him- self against injury from falling. The voluntary muscles undergo acute spasms followed by tonic convulsions, during which the muscles of the face and jaws may work furiously and often cause the tongue to be bitten. The mouth may froth. Loud breath- ing follows and then a profound sleep from which it is impossible to awaken the patient for a time. Patients sometimes have nocturnal attacks of epilepsy for years before they discover it. They may awaken in the morning with a sore tongue which they have bitten during sleep, or they may find themselves ex- hausted after what they often con- sider “nightmares.” ‘These attacks may recur one after another or only once in several years. There are also minor attacks of epi- lJepsy, known as petit mal, which are not typical fits, but only a momentary | loss of consciousness, v'ithout falling. in which there may be a flushing of the face, sweating and headache, and a variety of similar symptoms. Sometimes epilepsy is complicated by a twilight state, lasting from an hour to several months, wherein long journeys or other acts may take place without the patient's knowledge. Some of the acts in this stage may be quite naturals but they may be extremelv violent. Murder or incendiarism may be committed. As the disease pro- gresses, the patient’s character changes—easily enraged, there is ego- tism, lying and an apparent disregard for ethics. Under excitement. crim- inal acts may be performed. The disease sometimes tcrminates in death or insanity. Not every convulsion can be con- sidered as epileptic, however, since there are digestive convulsions of early childhood, hysterical attacks from tumor pressures, and various types of poisoning and intoxications. Heredity, accidents, alcoholism and various and reflex conditions may influence the appearance of epi- lepsy. There seems to be some change in the superficial cells of the cortex (gliosis) which makes them especial- ly susceptible to any form of toxemia. For many years I have seen one they generally come off victor with a or anything else they go after. ee HE'LL LEARN A Paris taxicab driver chalked a sign on his cab to the effect that he owned his cab and wanted a wife; that only rich girls need apply. At latest report he was still single. The cab driver is probably surprised, hav- ing observed that most girls of this post-war, economically-hard era are rather anxious to marry. The rub is that he insists on a rich girl. Even today the rich girls may be a bit choosier than to be content with just a@ taxi driver who owns his cab.

For these, sur- gery offers the only hope, and the pa- tient sometimes recovers as soon as the brain pressure has been relieved. Many experiments clearly prove that the intestines are the principal source of the toxins of epilepsy, but still many physicians have not. profited by thece facts. Epilepsy is still spoken of in whispers, and pa- tients are told that there is no hope for them. (In tomorrow's article I will explain the cure of epilepsy.) QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Pyelitis Question: J. B. K. asks. “What are the symptoms of pyelitis? Is it pos- sible to have it at intervals for a Period of years? Is it curable? If so, what si the cure?” Answer: Those with pyelitis usually develop a fever, but the most char ic- teristic dfJagnositic point is the pres- ence of pus in the urine. It is often associated with other disorders. The treatment would depend upon the findings from a thorough diagnosis. Bread with Meals Question: Mrs. C.L. W. asks: “Will you please tell me why you never recommend bread with meals in your menus, only Melba toast? What harm is there in eating yeast breads and baking powder bread?” Answer: I do recommend bread occasionally in my menus, but I he- Ueve most people use too much bread to the exclusion of other more vitel foods. When any kind of bread is used it should be taken with non- starchy vegetables and not in addi- tok to other starches or with protein Perspiring Question: P.
