And a faulty vision means that even the staunchest beoster, the most devoted service clubman, the hardest- boiled business loyalist may look so far beyond that, right under their noses as they clamor for impossibilities, they. pass up factors of growth, of prosperity and of destiny essential to the unfolding of their city. ‘The Association of Commerce has an ambitious pro- gram of industries to bring in and assist in the evolu- tion of the city; of publicity to be put out in print and in waves in the ether; of trade relations to be expanded in a network through the surrounding territory—all be- cause in a city such as Bismarck these are considered means to promote the prestige and development of the community. ‘This is a fine program of worthy objects. But along ‘with it there should be frequent inventorying of the prog- ress being made by the established resources of the city. ‘That these may function, they, too, require attention ‘and support and loyal consideration. As said, sometimes @ stranger is more impressefl with the latter need than the resident. ‘There recently was such a stranger in the city. He spent $200 here during his stay and he so felt that he had get his money's worth that he subsequently wrote The ‘Tribune in fervent praise of its home town and its pos- sibilities, His letter was in line with the sentiment just expressed, that it is wise to hold on to what the city has and to back it up and to build on it. “Just two weeks ago today,” writes M. R. Warnick from Leola, 8. D., Tuesday, “I arrived home from a three- ‘weeks stay in your city. As I sit and listen to KFYR Herald the bargains of your stores, I just can’t help writ- ing this. “While in your city I spent about $300 of my money, the major part to——and. (a clinic) and a propor- tionate amount to the-——hospital for 20 days care. Two days and nights I patronized your hotels and restau- rants. Your local barbers got proceeds of two shaves per week, a hair cut and shampoo, a small amount for mag- asines and fruit was your news stands’ share; and your little newsboy who makes the hospitals may remember the man in 326 and 115 who bought a paper every day except two, when my door was closed to all visitors. Least in amount was 10 cents to your local street car to go up the hill to seen your capitol (?) your memorial building, Reosevelt’s cabin and many things very interesting to “Three hundred dollars is a small amount, but if you will analyze my stay you will notice every dime I left with you went into hands that maintain and help build @ better Bismarck. “Nature smiles on Bismarck and surrounding territory ‘and you have your backs turned to her. You have the foundation for a fine city, almost unlimited supply of cheap fuel at your back door. You have an inexhaust- able supply of fine soft water at your front door. You have the best of railway service for your city. You have staff of physicians and surgeons that rank with the best in the U. 8. and you have a radio station to tell this—and many more things—to the world.” If there is any merit in this approbation, it is that Bismarck should aspire to win more such good opinions of it. And that implies, as said, supporting the business, the industries, the resources that already exist here as qwell as going out after others. Use Bismargk- products carry the big pay rolls making for the upkeep of the city, “the hands that maintain and help build a better Bis- marck.” ‘Then “mark” Bismarck. Solvency of Workers Last autumn’s stock market smashup failed to shake the bottom out of prosperity, as some people predicted. Nevertheless, times are far from perfect, Every large city is discovering that it has an unemployment problem. “En. some places radicals have taken advantage of the ing. to keep people from starving to death. . ; Now..none of this has yet reached the proportions of @ national problem. Most people are getting along very nicely, Nevertheless, one thing and” ani~ 4 Su ARR a SEO EP ITE cost of living for a standard family of five in an ordin- ary American city is $1920 for a year. The ever workingman, then, evidently is part of our professor's scandalous 98 per cent, Such a man, no doubt, really ought to have financial acumen enough to lay aside a couple of thousand dollars to take care of him and his family in case of unemployment. He probably will be very glad if the professor will tell him how. Quite obviously, it is just a little bit too soon for any- one to say what percentage of the citizens is finaycially incompetent. So many people are that way because it isn't humanly possible for them to be anything else. The Arm of Coincidence Either some kind of an authentic curse protecte;! the tombs of the dead pharaohs in Egypt's Valley of the Kings, or the arm of coincidence is proving rather longer than usual. Nine men who were connected with Howard Carter's famous excavations there have died—most of them vio- lent deaths. Lord Westbury, leaving a note saying “I ‘and facilities and back up those of its institutions which | ¥¢ cannot really stand any more horrors,” is the latest and the most matter-of-fact person can hardly read the account of his taking off without fecling a faint, some- what delightful chill run up and down his spine. Yes, there have been nine deaths; and if you choose to believe that some ancient curse is really working, you can make out a pretty good case for yourself. A great many people, judging from casual conversa- tions, do hold to that belief. Indeed, the curious thing about the whole business is not the string of nine deaths so much as the eager way in which people are talking and thinking about them. It almost seems as if a large Portion of the public found it comforting and pleasant to credit this fable. After all, is it surprising that this should be the case? A skeptical age, living by scientific formulas, has gone shy on mysticism, It will have no miracles that cannot be worked out in the laboratory. Probably the trouble all started when Benjamin Franklin proved that the thunderbolt was not the thrown hammer of an angry god but a simple electrical phenomenon that could be harnessed and duplicated; but at any rate we have reached a point where everything, from high to low, is explained, measured and documented. Into @ situation like this,.a horror story such as this business of the curse of the pharaohs comes positively as a relief. No wonder people are snatching at it, giving it @ measure of belief even when, in the bottom of their hearts, they know that they doubt it. It is a marvel, even if a grisly one. That, in an age that has outlawed mar- vels, is enough. The wanderings of the human spirit are strange. One of the great items on the credit side of the ledger for this scientific era is that it has freed us from the neces- | sity of believing in baleful spirits, foul spirit-iands where | dreadful shapes move for the discomfiture of mortal men, The werewolf and the banshee have becn chased over the borders. And yet— And yet we have grown so sick of the matter-of-fact, the purely material, that we jump at the chance to be- Heve in a lot of tarradiddie about nine men being killed by a curse 30 centuries old! In other words, there is something in mankind that impels it toward mysticism. If our current civilization has left our mysticism no outlet except cheap she like this Egyptian curse, the whole business necds con- siderable revision, | Editorial Comment ‘It’s a Small World’ (Judge) Six million people are destitute. elm They are eating leaves, chaff, rubbish.

And there is no present hope. Even if there were enough food, there is no way to get it to the hungry millions, for there are no railroads and no highways fit for motor cars. and the only means of transportation is gone because all the wagons have been broken up for firewood and all the horses have been eaten. Is this a nightmare or the raving of a mad imagina- tion? No; it is taken almost verbatim out of the cable dispatches from China, telling truthfully what is hap- pening today. How many Americans even read such news? We are very busy calculating just how good or bad business is going to be, squabbling about the sources of prosperity, planning to abolish poverty. We are also devoting a good deal of conversation to those inspiring topics, the unity of the whole world and the brotherhood of man, The ‘Vanishing American’ (St. Paul Dispatch) Much has been heard from time to time about the so- called “vanishing American,” meaning, of course, the American Indian. But if figures do not lie, the red men, both in the United States and Canada, are not only far from the vanishing point. but are increasing in numbers year after year. ” In Canada, for instance, says a report by the Depart- ment of Indian Affairs of that country, the Indian popu- lation has increased more than 3,000 in the past five years, bringing the present total to slightly more than 108,000. In the United States, the Bureau of Indian Af- fairs estimates that there are approximately 355,000 In- dians, or an increase of nearly 111,000 in the past ten ars. Since the discovery of America there has, of course, been a.marked decrease in the number of full blood In-. dians on the North American continent. In 1492 it has been estimated that there were 846,000 Indians on the continent. This decrease, spread out through more than 400 years, no doubt has given rise to the “vanish- ing Am ” idea. While there always have been fluctuations in the In- dian populations of the various states, the total gain has been: steady and marked within the past quar- ‘ter of a century, during which time the increase has been approximately 1,500 annually in the United States. Health education, of course, has done much to reduce the mortality rate among the Indians, but even before these The King Business (Detroit Pregs) de Gotha for 1930 graphically reflects into which the king business .

Studicus as a boy, Howells began making verses almost as soon as he could read. He first attracted atten- tion, however, when his poems ap- peared in the Atlantic Monthly. < In 1860, in his 23d year, he wrote a campaign “Life of Lincoln,” in recog- nition of which he received the next year.the Venctian consulate. In his four years abroad in that post, he is said.to have done his country a great service in interpreting, through his writings, America to Europe.

He folded the letter (the one Judith ing and placed it in the pocket of his coat, He did not know how long he had been staring at, that page. The man was dressed just as be had been when he entered the room. “Yes,” he called. “Who is it?” The door opened an tnch. “It's me,” Tony told him. *Can I come in? 4 “Certainly.” The girl entered. She was wear- ing a shimmering negligee of pink stuff and looking very childlike. Her expression was sweetly serious. “Daddy,” Tony sald softly as she crossed the room and put both arms about her father’s neck, “I just wanted to tell’you that—I'm sorry about Judith going away. I know you feel bady and 1 do too—be cause -you do. But, Daddy, you know I'll never leave you!

SWEET POTATOES Queen Isabella received a present of @ sweet potato from Columbus on his return from America, where he found this delicacy being grown by the Indians, The strange thing about the sweet potato is that. it is really more closely related to the morning glory than it is to the Irish potato. No one knows when or how the first sweet potato was planted, since it has been cultivated since prehistoric times by the early Americans and cannot be found in a really wild state of growth. Sweet potatoes keep quite well if properly stored, and an added ad- vantage is that the starch is slowly converted into sugar during the stor- age . Sweet potatoes, like carrots, contain a yellow pigment which seema to be a greater source of vitamin A than roots which do not contain the yellow color. ‘Probably the most popular way of preparing the sweet potato is to wash it well and then bake for an hour in @ moderately hot oven until the pulp separates from the skin. When rightly baked, the sweet potato opened at the table and served with fresh butter has a delicious enticement which, may lead to overeating. This should be guarded against. Sweet potatoes may be used in a vegetable stew. -If you do not have the fresh vegetable, you may use the canned. First, add a small can of peas, then.a can of string beans and @ bunch of diced carrots, two cups of @| diced celery and one or two medium sized sweet potatoes. Cook this mix- ture over a slow fire for some time until the potato forms a sort of yel- Yow gravy around the other vege- tables. Serve with butter and a little salt, and you have a wholesome filling dish of most delicious stew. Sweet potatoes should not be served “| with the sugar syrup that is used in candied sweet potatoes. Sweet potatoes may be cooked in their jackets in boiling water. Ifany are left over from a meal they can be made into a very attractive dish by mashing and forming into cakes, put into a pan under the broiler until delicately brown, seasoned with butter and sprinkled with parsley. Scrambled Sweet Potatoes Beel and grate the desired number of sweet potatoes. Add fresh cream, or canned cream thinned with a little water, to bring potatoes to the consistency of a thin custard.

G. writes: “Thavo been told to sprinkle dry sulphur powder in the soles of my stockings for rheumatism and neuritis. What do you think of this? Is it safe? Also, is slippery elm bark powder good to take, and what is the best way to, take it, in milk or water, and when?” Answer: The only way to get rid of fheumatism and neuritis is to keep the bowels thoroughly cleansed of any toxic material. I do not under- stand how sulphur in your shoes can have any effect. Slippery elm powder produces @ lubricating effect on the intestines and may be-taken in place of mineral oil or laxatives. It may be used with any other kind of food and taken in any combination you desire. (Pain in Head) Question: H. R. writes: “For a couple of months I have had a pain, sometimes sharp and sometimes dull, in one side of my head, reaching from the shoulder and upper arm to the right side of the head, back of the ‘ ear. It seems more acute in the morning, but is ever-present and not ¢ particularly pleasant. Is it nerves? ** I am an unmarried woman 58 years old, with generally excellent health.” Answer:: Your pain may be caused from a misalignment of one or more of the cervical vertebra. Change to another size pillow and if this does not relieve, see an osteopath or chir- opractor. One manipulative treat- ment to the neck (while you are hav- ing the pain) would doubtless relieve and if not, the cause may then be found to be cither rheumatism or some reflex from lower down on the spine. (Kidney Trouble) Question: E. H. writes: “I am) suffering from tuberculosis and have had the right kidney removed. I drink from 6 to 8 glasses of water daily. Do you think that amount of water will tax my remaining kidney, or is the water any help to my cure?” Answer: You. should drink as much water as is necessary to keep the urine a light straw color. - (Copyright, 1930, by The Bell Syndicate, Inc.) ° 4 \ BARBS j Prohibition talk, in the end, be- comes either very dirty or all wet. 4 * * & : February is the shortest month, but « unless you were long on stocks can't realize really how short it is. x ee All of those delegates to the naval Parley arrived in London all right, but some of them are still at sea. s s 2 A jury consumed a dozen bottles of beer which @ man was charged with brewing.
