DETROI1 Kresge Bidg (Official City, State and County Newspaper) FOUR-YEAR LEGISLATURES Over in Montana they are seriously considering wheth- | er legislative sessions at intervals of four years would | not be just as satisfactory from the standpoint of public business, while saving the $200,000 cost of one session and averting the political disturbances of elections and leg- islative controversies. The matter has taken the form of a bill proposing a constitutional amendment, limiting the sessions of the Jawmakers to once in four years. One of the big men of the assembly, Senator Eaton, of Billings, is the author of the proposal. The subject has aroused a lot of dis- cussion in the neighboring state. The idea is based partly on the fact that legislatures as an institution and as now constituted and function- ing are considered unsatisfactory. Four-year periods between sessions are not the only changes suggested in Plans to improve on the situation. Split sessions have been urged and a one-house assembly is another remedy Offered. Montanans are urging against the present system the tendency to create laws which easily could be dispensed with. Every member feels he owes it to himself and the folks back home to get his name and that of his county attached to a measure. This results in a clutter of laws, sometimes the creation of commissions and boards anu bureaus whose main effect too often is merely the crea- tion of jobs. Then, too, there are the politics that al- ‘ways afte played in assembly sessions. This is the con- spicuous piece of perniciousness in the neighboring state, where there takes place a biennial war between the the state, especially the radicals in its northeast sec- tion. The company fears raids on its prosperity, the farmers feel that it is dodging the share of taxation it should pay. All sorts of devious ways are resorted to in the effort to get the corporation. Higher compen- sation proposals are made clubs. Several years ago, when all industries were smitten by deflation and farming was in collapse from an un- exampled drouth in addition, taxes on the company were increased, by resort to a referendum. The copper busi- ness was in the doldrums and the company felt it was being raided by a political enemy, so it has become very timid on the subject of taxes, fearing it all means a mere penalty on the fact that it is a corporation. This fear in the minds of the remainder of the state is re- garded as evidence of turpitude as Prosperity since has enabled the A. C. M. to meet its tax increases easily. So the war of attrition goes on at every legislative ses- sion at Helena and lawmakers and state officials are rated as “company” and “anti-company” men. The ef- fect is very demoralizing to the fiscal condition of Mon- tana, where a big debt has been piled up as a result of inadequate revenues from taxation, and where the state 4s able merely to hold its own with hardly any dent in its debt. At this session an argument against the four-year bill is that the administrative functions of the state are in the hands of “company” men and that it is essential that the legislature be in active session more frequently than once in four years, so that the People have a chance to be heard through the vocality of their representatives and to check up on the executive departments. It also is urged that the fluctuations in state revenues dethand more frequent sessions, so as to keep appropriations for State institutions adjusted closely to means and needs.

To Anne Mor- SPREADING CIVILIZATION Western machinery threatens to supplant the camel on the ancient trade routes of Asia. A fleet of motor trucks will soon be in operation on the road from the Caspian sea to Teheran, the capital of Persia. A motor caravan may oust the traditional ships of the desert that have traveled since the days of Marco Polo over the Trebizend-Tabriz trail, over which Xenophon led his retreating Ten Thousand. Not a little of the romance of old Asia will vanish if this comes to pass. Its trails have been worn deep by the hoofs of belled camels and donkeys which for cen- turies have plodded westward with their burdens of the wealth of Hindustan, rugs, silk and saffron from Persia and copper and silver from Eastern Anatolia. Centuries before the discovery of America this com- merce was adding to the wealth of the Roman empire, But it will lend startling emphasis to the achievements of the new world if a product of American inventive- ness becomes the carrier of this ancient trade. Civilization is indebted to the slow-moving caravan for opening up the East to trade and exploration, but for. centuries the countries through which they traveled have, like the mode of transportation, remained un- changed. Caravan and country present the same pic- ture today they presented 20 centuries ago. But it is a safe gamble that 20 years after the motor truck takes the place of the dromedary the picture -will be so changed that Marco Polo, if he were to return, would not recognize the country through which he traveled to the far East six centuries ago. transportation methods will plant the seeds of Western civilization in the East. Modern THE MIND CURE FOR OBESITY A dietitian of note has pronounced obesity the result of a state of mind. The way to get thin is to take the correct attitude toward thinness. He is cautious enough to add that’ in addition it is necessary to follow a cor- rect diet and to take correct exercise. This is welcome advice to the fat. They have always felt that fate had been unkind to them in adding un- wanted pounds to their mortal frames, and that doctors are even more unkind in suggesting drastic dietary changes and tiring exercises. Neither of these, obviously, supplies the correct state of mind. Fortunately for their new mental peace, the author of the mind-and-meat theory does not elaborate the pre- cise nature of the diet or exercises that should accom- pany “thinking thin.” see his stout friends returning with gusto to cereals, sweets and fats and counteracting their indulgence by concentrating as they eat on the slender lines which will mark their figures on the morrow. If the savant is right, one shall The worst thing about getting fat is getting thin. THis any person who is overweight will affirm with warmth. If faith is essential to the thinking-thin system of losing weight, few persons will grow thin by that method for there isn’t a fat man or woman who ‘wouldn't be thin if thinking made them so. They have been think- ing soberly and seriously on the matter ever since the first wrinkle appeared under the chin. Some have dieted and exercised, thinking they were taking off ounces and Pounds only to add lost confidence in the scales to their other blasted faiths.

Before you be- gin a meal you should cast aside every distressing thought, whether it be business worry, jealousy or fear of indigestion. Every meal should be @ festive occasion. Cultivate the art of conversing aboat interesting, per- haps humorous subjects and situa- tions. A dash of humor is of far more value than a bottle of dyspep- tic tablets. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Paffs Under Eyes Question: Mrs. M. C. R. writes: “I am a woman of 57 years of age and have puffs under my eyes. Can you ‘r tell me what makes it and-what I can do to cure it?” Answer: Puffiness under the eyes is a symptom of some disease within the body such as heart trouble, kid- ney trouble, anemia, etc. Only a careful examination could establish the diagnosis. Cooked Oils Question: J. 8, writes: “I notice that when I eat oils that have been cooked, my stomach hurts, and when I eat raw oils like olive oil.and butter this does not occur. Is this because uncooked fats are better than others?” Answer: When fatty foods are overheated fatty acids are sometimes released. These will sometimes irri- tate the stomach and intestines and are probably what you noticed when eating the fried foods. Pressure Question: Cre A. C. writes: “I have an almost constant pain in my right side where the gall bladder is. If I have a large amount of flatu- & lence this pain seems to disappear. Do you suppose that the gas could Press open the gall duct and relieve amount of dietetic improvement will be of much value. The tendency to about nine-tenths of our thinking is done by the sub-conscious mind. These unconscious thought processes have a most powerful, effect upon our inter- nal organs. In observing the peristaltic move- ments of the stomachs of cats under the X-ray, it has been found that when the cat lies quietly purring while being stroked, the muscular di- gestive contraction of the stomach continues regularly, but the moment the cat struggles to arise or becomes angry, the muscular waves stop. The effect of anger upon the intestines is first to stimulate the peristaltic movement and then cause a dormant stasis which may last for several hours even after the good nature of the cat has been restored. These facts have been proven in many experi- ments. Since a similar or even more pronounced effect occurs in the highly organized human being, one.can read- ily see how the emotions will inter- fere with digestion, and how an at- tack of anger’ may actually produce constipation. ‘While you are following the dietetic and health instructions contained in these articles it is a good plan to look for the good results which will follow, and you cannot, expect the best results until you have built this habit into your subconscious mind. spend her evenjng bed, sewing, wash- A couple ladies’ quarrels in our day's news.

Those who are all ready to sing out that women only work because they want fur coats and cars and dinner rings will have to save their argument for another time. But the fact remains that many a woman is working to earn money through the day, and splitting fifty- fifty on expense, and, then physically tired and mentally jaded goes home and works all evening while her hus- band reads the paper and takes forty winks in the big arm chair. Why all this dissertation about overworked woman and underworked man? Just because the country is so plainly and deliberately educat- ing its girls for business—or whatever we call turning our brains into dollars and cents—that it is high time it was initiating its boys into the mysteries of housekeeping.
