The exact benefits to be derived from the use of the lash as 8 deterrent to a life of crime are not outlind in detail, but most citizens who are not too tender by nature might be willing to try the experiment. For one thing, there is a certain sort of mental pride which goes into the make-up of the modern criminal. Pride in his ability to do a “job” well, whether that job be robbery or assassination. The modern racketeer thrives on deceit and trickery. When men are put “on the spot” in the various gang wars it usually is by persons whom they know and whom they believe are friendly to them—until they realize that they have been duped, too late to save their lives. ‘The modern gangster shoots his victims in the back or from ambush. Most of these murders are the work of cowards who place their own ease above the lives of their fellow men. It is indisputable that men of this type fear pain and physical discomfort more than they fear incarceration in a jail-or penitentiary. After suffering the misery and the humiliation which would come from a single experi- ence under the knout, they might seriously consider the value of personal reform. To most of us, it would be a sickening thing to see a human beihg writhe beneath a cat-o-nine-tails. But it is also a sickening thing to the public-spirited citizen to view the callousness of the present day criminal element. ‘The lash might cut through that callousness more quickly than the forms of punishment we now have. There are arguments against the idea, of course. But Mr. Wickersham should have, by this time, a pretty fair grasp of the criminal situation in America, His sug- gestions as to a cure should bear some weight. When he and his cohorts finish their survey their recommenda- tons will be pondered over by the nation’s lawmakers, It is strong medicine which -Mr. Wickersham sug- gests and it may not be the proper medicine, but there will be few who will contend that the present criminal situation does not demand a strong.and definite remedy. Tax Equality as a Blessing Appointment by city commission of a group of local citizens to survey Bismarck’s taxing situation should result in benefit to the city as well as to the local body Politic. The idea behind the designation of these men to in- vestigate the valuation of land and buildings is to put matters of taxation on a basis fair to everyone. Their job is to devise a system which will remove the in- equalities in distribution of the taxing burden which may exist at present. ‘This is an aim which will have the support of every fair-minded citizen and taxpayer. Few persons wish to evade paying their fair share of the cost of government and no one wishes to pay more than his fair share, If some are favored, as the intimation now is they may be, the rest of the taxpayers have to “take up the slack.” No one rushes to the county auditor's office with his tax payment in a spirit of glee. The benefits derived from the tax money are undoubted, but the cost of government and of public improvements never weighs so heavily as at tax-paying time. If there is to be grumbling about taxes then is when we hear it, But add to this a sense of injustice on the part of a considerable number of taxpayers and the situation be- comes different. One man’s knowledge that he is pay- ing more than some other man, whose property is of apparent similar value, is liable to produce a canker in his sense of civic ditty. Numerous comparisons of this kind are often heard in every community. It has been heard in Bismarck just as it has been heard in other cities and towns and about the countryside. Very often these statements are erroneous and investi- gation would prove them so, In many cases the injustices are more apparent than real, and the way to bring this home to a complaining taxpayer is to tell him the truth. Misinformation may be combated best by honest informa- tion. It is this sort of information which the advisory committees of taxpayers will give the public. They are disinterested and the men named on the commis- sion to evaluate lots and land in the city limits have established themselves in the public mind as competent and honest. It will be their job to help the city officials establish in the mind of each taxpayer that his assessment is what it ought to be—no more and no less. If this end is accomplished their work will be of lasting benefit. Anti-Aircraft Defense For a striking example of the influence of the airplane on warfare, consult the reports of the recent demonstra- tion of new army ordnance at the Aberdeen proving grounds. Many new weapons were on display there, including artillery and machine guns in profusion; and practically all of theni ‘were devised so that they could fight foes overhead as well as on the ground. It is not enough, nowadays, for a battery to be able’ to shell an opposing battery beyond a hill three miles away; it must be able to repel a raider who is a mile off 4n a perpendicular direction. A new form of attack, the airplane calls for new forms of defense, and the Aber- deen show indicates that army chiefs are fully aware of the fact. Where Depression Hurts ° ‘The failure of prosperity may be worrying the gov- ernment of this country but the problem at Washington 4s as nothing compared with the problem faced in cer- tain governments south of the Isthmus of-Panama. In ‘the United States, a business depression is apt to bring an unfavorable result at the polls, but in South America 4 ts apt to bring on a revolution. 3t 4s hardly too much to say that practically all of the pressions. Citizens of any country get restive when busi- ness is bad, but in Latin America they get downright violent. ; It is foolish, of course, for any country to blame nard times on the government in power. But at least the situation here isn’t as bad as it might be. Just suppose that our disillusioned voters were rushing to the armories instead of to the ballot box! - ASeagoing Race The fishermen’s cchooner races off Gloucester, Mass., are not drawing the nation-wide publicity that at- tended the recent America cup races off Newport; but from almost any angle you would care to take, they are better races and better sport. ‘The America cup was sought by two extremely costly yachts, built and owned by multi-millionaires, and fit for nothing on earth but racing. The fishermen’s races, on the other hand, brought together two commercial fish- ing¢schooners, owned and manned by men who get their living from the sea, capable of combating anything in the way of bad weather that the Atlantic can offer. The race was @ side-issue, a form of recreation indulged in by two groups of artists in a very old and honorable Profession. * The yachtsmen got the long stories and the photographs in the newspapers, but the fishermen, to our notion, make @ more appealing contest. Editorial Comment Editorials printed below show the trend of thought by other editors. They are pubiféhed with. gut regard to whether they agree or disagree with The Tribune's policies, Three Cheers (Bowman County Pioneer) Three cheers for the Bowman county fair and three more for County Agent Olson! These are the senti- ments of all who attended the fair last week. The number and high standard of the exhibits in all de- partments was an agreeable surprise. Each department was filled to capacity, and the judges must have had some difficulty in awarding prizes, for all were good. The attendance was large in spite of the inclement weather. The sale of the 4-H club stock must have been very encouraging to the young folks who raised it. Needless to say it topped the market by a large margin to spare. County Agent Olson and the fair committee have been tireless in their endeavors to make this year's fair @ success and it must have been gratifying to them to see the result of their labors. If the Bowman county fair continues to expand each year, it will soon outgrow its present quarters, and provisions should be made soon to house the exhibits of future exhibitions. The fair is one of Bowman county’s most valuable assets and one that should be given every encouragement by our citizens. Ducal Delays (Washington Star) The registry of the recently arrived princess, daughter of the Duke and Duchess of York, would seem to con- travene two fairly prevalent impressions. One is that nobility and royalty should be the leaders of and exam- ples to their people in so far as it lies within thejr Province and ability. The other is that superstitious people are, in general, pretty narrow between the ears. All who have perused the public prints lately have been informed of the fact that the birth of little Princess Margaret Rose of York was not registered at Glamis un- til some time after the happy event, and that this was done in order that the young lady might escape the fate of being number thirteen on the village registration list. The royal couple waited patiently until another baby ‘was born and registered and by this means the new®st. scion of the house of Windsor became number fourteen. ‘TO see members of a ruling house of a great empire not only apparently entertaining a superstition as sense- less as “unlucky thirteen,” but advertising to the king- dom and to the world at large that they do believe in it, is, in these times, highly surprising to thoughtful people. It is true that many persons not so well educated or in- tellectually equipped as the duke still do believe in such balderdash, and doubttess‘some’of the residents of Glamis and th peasantry round about cherish the belief. And this brings forth the query of whether or not it was a rather unfair trick on the duke's part to make the daugh- ter of one of his rural inferiors assume the hated and feared number. Cre Say Let’s Keep the County Agent (Hettinger County Herald) During the past nine months the people of Hettinger county have enjoyed the privilege of having a county agent. q The people have found much use for him. Farmers of the tounty have kept Walter Sales jumping ever since last fall when he started work in this county, financed by interested friends, progressive formers and farseeing businessmen, together with the regular aid offered by the state and federal governments to all coun- ties who ask for such aid. __THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE,’ WEDNESDAY, current South American revolts originated in trade de- | | Another ‘Shop Now’ Campaign That Is Strongly Recommended! | SRS SUE ee" AOD RUE PEDO. la RE aA SEA (AC SCL CE TA A YOUR PoLiT!

Educated at the universities of Bonn and Leipzig, Nietzsche at 25 became professor of philosophy at Basel, but resigned 10 years later be- cause of an eye affliction. In the ensuing 10 years he wrote the daring philosophical essays on which his fame rests. They inten- tionaly offend the Christian reader by their violent denunciation of Christianity, culminating in blas- phemy.

They get special service from fed- eral agents who visit North Dakota. ‘When Hettinger county is without a county agent we just do not get any of the service from the extension department of the state agricultural college, and the fed- eral government does not send men to aid with agricul- tural projects where by their votes the people say they do not want them. . Without a county agent we pay taxes while getting no services, With a county agent we get the benefit of his service and the full cooperation of the state and federal governments. We. pay half the salary of one man and get the services of a dozen or two. ‘We have to pay for county work whether or not we get it, Let’s be smart this year and vote ‘yes” for county agent work and keep Walter Sales right here¢on the job. ‘Walter Sales is doing his job well—and he is a darned nice fellow besides, Another ‘Red’ Scare in the Making / (McKenzie County Farmer) ‘The United States seems to be on the verge of another “Red” The National Republican committee, fac- tions within the Democratic party, the National Grain Journal, the “wets,” the “drys,” labor union officials and union labor baiters, “detective” agencies and cthers are all discovering “red” plots galore. It is getting to be both common and popular to stig- matize political, economic and even social enemies with the epithet of “Reds.” The great danger is that if it gets too common the name may become popular and respec- table, thus defeating the aims of a lot of propagandists. The National Grain Journal hooks up the cooperative grain set-up with Soviet Russia, claiming that Alexander Legge and Secretary of Agriculture Hyde are in secret league with the Soviet government because of theic en- couragement of cooperative marketing of grain. The National Republican committee defends Messrs. Hyde and Legge because they are appointees of Presi- dent Hoover and claim that Mr. Hyde's recent probe of the Soviet government's grain trading venture in the Chicago grain exchange was masterly statesmanship, but they ‘in turn attempt to link up the Democratic Party with Soviet leanings because Senator Burton K. ‘Wheeler of Montana, a Democrat, visited Russia during the summer and upon his return made a statement that the American government was foolish because it did not officially recognize the Soviet government. Detective agencies who have fattened upon “red” scares far years are particularly pleased over the develop- ment for the reason that they will be able to cash in on the fears of big employers and others who fall for the bunk. They can find or manufacture evidence of “red” plots at a moment's notice. They can worm their agents into labor unions, as they have in the past, in the guise of radical trade unionists and by agitation and whisper- ing campaigns produce strikes, riots, bombing outrages and scares by the scores. It is all old stuff, but nearly always very effective. 4 2 r is the old “wolf, wolf,” and “stop thief” cry of scoundrels who use it to attract attention. elsewhere while they pick their victims’ pockets or rob them of their liberty or property, but the public as a weole is always too al in individual problems to give the matter any thought and can easily be hoodwinked. Whenever you hear a blatant professional politician, flag-waver and country-saver harranguing about the machinations of the “reds,” keep your hand on your pocketbook, watch your step and look for the nearest exit.

He sald, “No, I don’t.” Anne laughed, and she let her eyes drop to evade the look in his own, There was a bold searching- ness in them that made her feel that her secrets would not be safe from them. She said, “How do you tell—cr are you just guessing?” Sloan chuckled and gave the aiter a bill. “It’s something more than a guess, One of the require- ments of a director 1s clairvoyance, you know. . . .

Pellagra is often found in the Southern states and in the southern part of Europe and fol- lows a restricted diet of using too much devitalized food and not enough meat or other protein. The diet is the most important thing to consider in the cure. The symptoms usually begin in the winter when there is a smaller variety of food to choose from. The first symptoms are a slight nervous and digestive disturbance, followed in the spring by sore mouth, heartburn and diarrhea. The portion of the skin exposed to the sun shows @ sharply defined inflammation after which the patient shows marked mental and nervous changes, even insan‘ty.. In chronic cases the patient may have a recurring attack each spring, becom- ing worse every year. It seems that a toxic absorption from the lower bowel is @ secondary cause, and a care rests upon a thorough bodily houseclean- program. ‘The best diet seems to be an oc- casional acid fruit fast of f:om four to five days at intervals of a month apart, followed by a weil balanced diet as suggested in my weekly menus found in this paper. It is especially important that plenty of meat or other protein foods be obtained. The use of these menus will usually be sufficient to correct the trouble after the fruit fast. Beriberi The Chinese are a very cid race, and yet one of their first medical his- tories deals with beriberi, a disease which is now known to be due to a lack of vitamin B. The ‘irst suspi- cion that this disease was due to the Jack of some unknown fovd substance began when it was found that those who lived exclusively on polished rice developed this disease, while those who used unpolished rize did not develop it. It was found that beri- beri could be prevented either by eating whole rice or by eating pol- ished rice and with it some of the lishings. Perhe Patient affected with beriberi has @ pronounced weakness of the legs and great fatigue upon exertion. ‘The stomach becomes tender, and the muscles of the calves, hand and fore- arm usually ache. As the disease progresses, the arms and legs may be- come paralyzed. Some swelling or edema usually accompanies the trouble.

So she looked at. fim, and Sloan gazed into her eyes ‘without a word, and then he deliberately kissed her. Anne drew back from him, and Sloan, with a little smile playing. on his lips, continued to sit there and look at her. “Well?” Anne said quietly, coldly: -“That ‘was a cheap trick.” “Are you angry?” She made no answer, and Sloan laughed softly. “There you are,” he said. “You're angry, of course, but instead of being nice and primi- tive about it and slapping my face, you give me the high-hat treat- ment.

If you showed me any encouragement at all, I'd fall for you pretty hard, Anne.” He drove her home then and ad- vised her to get a good night's rest, and Anne obediently went straight to bed. She lay awake for a long time, though, thinking that Garry ‘Sloan was a very strange person, wondering if what he had said about her could be true. “Too lady- Mke—too cold—God gave you emo- {tion—use it.” : She was troubled. But on the set the next morning he greeted her as though nothing all had happened. He satd ae morning, Anne. Feeling “I bad nine hours’ sleep,” she an- swered, smiling. “I should be.” “Good.” There was something else to be done, he said, before he would be ready for her. So Anni waited, talked fora while with It was nearly noon when her turn finally came and she stepped be- neath the blinding lights. Rorimer watched her, and he watched Garry Sloan, and he saw almosteat once that Sloan was not satisfied with her, But the director said nothing for perhaps. two minutes; merely sat and frowned. Then he com- manded: “Cut!” eee ANNE looked at him question-| ingly and Sloan shook his head. ‘They would listen for a playback, he said; perhaps Anne would dis- cover what was wrong when she heard it. He rose from his chair ‘and went over to her, and Dan saw him say things to her in a low tone that did not carry to him. But he gathered from his gestures that the director was criticizing her appear- ance as well as her voice. Anne’s voice came from the loud speaker and Sloan shrugged and lifted his hands. Presently he caine back to his seat, but he stood in- stead of sitting, rested one foot on the chair and leaned forward. Someone commanded silence again; Anne, alone on the set, moved over to a telephone which rang faintly and lifted the receiver. A sharp cry from her and the re- ceiver fell from her grasp and dan- gled on its cord from the table. But Sloan snook his head again and called her over to him. “Anne,” he said, “you—you're just crying, that’s all. It’s more than that; it’s got to be something that'll simply wring their hearts with pity.” He struck his leg sharply with his open hand.- “You know what I want, Anne. Now give it to me.” He asked her if she remembered Lillian Gish in “Broken Blossoms.” He mentioned other pictures, And Anne nodded mutely. “I'll try,” she said. hee She went through it again, and this time Sloan, with a glance at his watch and a sigh that told of patience sorely tried, told her to forget it until after lunch. He took her to lunch himself, had it brought to them in the cottage that he had on the lot. Anne told him falteringly, “I'm sorry I’m so stupid, but I can't seem to get it.” She began to dab jat her eyes with her handkerchief.

She said, “Hello, Dan,” in a weary voice, and he saw that she had been crying, And instantly he was hot-eyed with resentment, “Nobody but a chump would browbeat you like that,” he said, But Anne protested.' “You mustn’t say that. It’s my fault en- tirely, He hasn’t browbeaten me, Dan; you're quite wrong. He's been very patient. ec 8 8 DAN went back to his office; Phil- lips wanted him. When he re turned, late in the afternoon, the red light was burning over the Stage door and he had to remain outside for a long time. But he saw Lester Moore departing and Moore told him, with a sympathetic smile, that Anne and Sloan were “at it again.” But he remained, because he wanted to know the outcome, and while he sat there he remembered what Collier had told him about Sloan working a star into a fit of hysteria, He thought: “He'll have her ready for a strait-jacket if he doesn’t let up on her.” He looked at his watch, It was after seven, and he walked softly back and saw Anne come dejectedly off the set again and Sloan look at her disgustedly, “You're going to do it right it I have to keep you here all night,” he said with sudden savagery. “I’m enik to gin ere dinner, and 80 you, then we’ ee e're coming He looked around him, glarin; and he saw Rorimer and ‘nodded coldly.

It is said that those who live # such devitalized foods as polished rice, sago, peeled boiled potatoes, cor: grit, macaroni, white flour, sugar ang lard, will develop this disease if they do not have some of the foods con- taining vitamin B in their diet. Thi: vitamin is present in yeast, the germ of wheat, green leaves, avocados, and the growing parts of vegetables, cab- bages, spinach, carrots, nuts, anc glandular meats. Care should be used in cooking these foods, as th: vitamins may be destroyed by exces- sive salt or soda. It has been noticed that children nursed by beriberi mothers may de- velop the disease, another indicatio: of how important it is that the nurs- ing mother receive a proper and w balanced diet. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Head Shakes Question: J. K. asks: “What causes the head to shake violent!) from side to side when one gets nervous? What is the cure for this condition?” Answer: The head-shaking is duc to a form of palsy and comes from a degeneracy of the nerves. The cure is to improve your health by hygienic measures and to remove every mental or physical cause which may produce nervousness. Raw Carrots ‘ Question: MrS. J. L. asks: “wil! you please tell me what benefit I wiil receive from eating a dishful of ray, carrots every day?” 4 Answer: The raw carrot is an ex® cellent salad vegetable containing sev- eral of the most important organic salts and vitamins. It makes an ex- cellent remedy for improving bad, pimply complexions, The Milk Diet Question: E. W. R. asks: “Do you recommend the milk diet as a cure for chronic ailments?” Answer: I often recommend the milk diet in certain chronic diseases, but the milk must be taken very care- fully and in limited quantities. Three or four quarts a day are usually su! ficient, and the patient can seldom take six or seven quarts, as recom- mended by most milk sanitariums, without bad consequences to the liver and gall bladder following the milk diet. It is true, you can put on a large amount of weight with the diet, but this weight is of very little value to you, as it is only fatty weight. and after a course of the milk diet is completed you will always find that You feel weaker because of this ac- cumulated fat. In stomach ulcers, gastritis and certain diseases of the alimentary canal, the milk diet is very valuable if taken in limited quantities, as I have suggested. uae - | BARBS { OF Judging from the time they had aé- the Boston conventon, the legion- naires are apparently able to dis- tinguish now between reveille and revelry. i z* * That investigation to determinc who is responsible for depressing stock prices is resolving itself largely into a bear hunt. ‘i * Oe A Chicagoan has willed a box of candy to the Coolidges, It is a ques- tion now whether Cal will come out in his column with the crack he docs not chews to accept, ee 8 s) The more we hear of certain pro- grams over the ether the less we won- der why an anesthetic was named after it. eee The couple dancing their way across the continent are understood to have adopted as their slogan: “A mile a minuet.” * * * i An orchestra player at a Spanisi bull fight fell in the ring and was gored.
