CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON Work Well Done As residents of Bismarck sit down to holiday feasts tomorrow they will do so with light hearts and serene minds because of the work which has been done in Bis- marck to make sure that every resident in this area will have similar joys. ‘The attitude of its citizens is the measure of any com- munity, and Bismarck may well be content to be judged on this basis. From the standpoint of civic operation. big-heartedness and the spirit which makes life worth living, this city bows to none other in the world. ‘The manner in which provision has been made for all to enjoy the holiday season is typical. Hundreds of in- dividuals and numerous agencies have taken part in it. There is no doubt of the success of the. enterprise. Leading the list, because it is the newest and most, spectacular, was the “Open Your Heart” campaign of the American Legion. It was an unqualified success and the leadership of the war veterans enabled hundreds of Bismarck residents to share in the spirit of goodwill which has marked the season. Without public support the Legion's activity would have been much less suc- cessful. The generous manner in which that support, was extended is proof of both the merit of the move- ment and the status of the American Legion in the community. Next in order come the activities of the Lions, Kiwan- is and Rotary clubs, all of which are carrying on active programs. The Lions aided Santa Claus in providing the candy for the annual fete for children at the city auditorium this afternoon as well as taking care of other chores in connection with that work. Tomorrow these same clubmen will serve dinner for 60 boys. They also have had charge of the community Christmas tree. To the Kiwanis club has fallen the job of sponsoring the good fellowship movement which provides Christmas baskets for the needy each Christmas time. Members of the Rotary club assisted in the auditor- ium program and the good fellowship effort and have done other work besides. The Red Cross and Salvation Army, old “standbys” in movements of this character, have served valiantly and well, The Association of Commerce, the Elks lodge, a score of church organizations, Sunday school classes and ‘ other bodies have worked quietly and efficiently. When these various movements are coordinated and assembled together, as they have been in Bismarck thts: year, they create a mantle of charity big enough to shelter everyone needing assistance. It comprises a record of which the city and every person living in it may well be proud. Citizens have frequently been heard to express the’ hope that a similar movement will be carried out next year and in other years to come. We have no doubt that it will be. Bismarck’s reputation as a friendly city, filled with kindly folk, is one which it has deserved. That it: will continue to deserve this reputation goes without: _ saying. To make it otherwise the character of its citi- hood of that. Dri ving and Citizenship Is it necessary to be a passable automobile driver in order to be an American citizen? This question pops into one’s mind on reatling of the experience of a German applicant for citizenship papers in Detroit, who was turned down by Federal Judge A. J. le wise he had a record as an habitual traffic The judge took this action after officers whio had‘delved into the applicant’s past found that he had been arrested at least once a year for the past five ‘Tuttle Taw: vi years for serious violations of the traffic code. Are we reaching that point in national evolution where an American will be described as a biped who drives an automobile? “Is our civilization so thoroughly motor- ized that one who cannot drive properly does not deserve citizenship? , If*so, the streets are filled with native- born: Ameriééris:who really ought.to be turned into land- jess’aliens: + t ’ ditorials y other e to whether .they agree or disagree with The A Notable Experiment It is interesting ‘to hote. that a parliamentary com- mittee has urged the British government to abolish capital punishment for ‘a five-year period as an experi- ment in penology. The commiittee frankly favors the complete abolition of the death penalty; however, it suggests the five-year experiment as a: measure that may win support from more conservative statesmen, and there is a good pos- sibility that the British parliament will adopt the scheme. Here would’ be an excellent chance to get some ir- refutable data on the effects of capital punishment. For a country like England, which has always punished its murderers with the gallows, to do away with hang- ing for five years would provide an extremely valuable semmentary on the theory that only the threat of death will hold a potential murderer in check.

Three Presidents in a Week (Minneapolis Journal) If the low boiling point of Spanish blood explains the Propensity to revolt that marks the Latin peoples of Central and South America, overproduction of individ- ual .commodities may be called the fuel that sets the blood fo boiling. Unfortunately, the gorge rises against governments in most cases, and they are blamed for economic depression. In Brazil, coffee, in Cuba, sugar, have made or are making trouble for governments, Both these c»mmod- ities are produced in Guatemala, with coffee comprising 80 per cent of the exports. Revolt has been muttering for @ year. It flamed forth the other day, when the president, Lazaro Chacon, resigned because of illness. ‘The excuse for revolt was found in dissatisfaction over the selection of his successor. Baudillio Palma was chosen. But he was second designate, not first, named to replace the president in case of. incapacity. Palma had held office only five days, when General Manuel Maria Orellana overthrew him, and though the legisla- tive assembly had previously confirmed Palma as con- stitutional president during the period of Chacon’s ill- ness, it’ turned: around and’ confirmed Orellana four days later. Which was it—revolutionary tradition, or economic unrest, behind the coups d’etat? Whatever ‘the cause, this’ overturn presents a problem for the other Central American states, for they are bound by treaty not to recognize a Central American government that comes into power by virtue of a coup d’etat or revolution. The United States, too, subscribes to this principle, though it is not a party to the treaty of 1023, Frederick H. Carpenter (Minneapolis Tribune) In the city where he did his life work, and over the northwest, where he had extensive interests, the citizenship of Frederick H. Carpenter, inspired by fine ideals and a splendid integrity, was a fine constructive influence. He prized that citizenship and in public interest and good works he interpreted it with breadth, enthusiasm and an infallible spirit of kindliness. He esteemed it a sacred heritage from a line of sturdy New England an- cestors and he gave it unostentatious interpretation in many fields of usefulness. To his interest in national and state politics he brought) a fine ability and an inspiring conception of service, together with a practical point of view that commanded wide respect. He had none of the shortcomings of the self-seeker, and as-a result his public honors were less than he deserved, for he gave this state much honest service in matters touching its political affairs and often at considerable personal sacrifice. * genry would have to change, and there is little likeli- Each individual who participated in the various ef- “ forts which have contributed to the spreading of Christ- mas cheer will feel just a little better on Christmas » day for the knowledge that he has done his part. ‘The prayers of thanksgiving which go up from those whose needs have been filled may not be heard by those who have done the work but we know, as we kneel in spirit at the cradle of the Christ child, that no prayer is' ever lost, that no good deed goes unnoticed. The New Jerusalem At this season of the year’ when an event which occurred 1,900 years ago in Palestine holds the interest: of the Christian world, it is only natural that we should, glance casually at the land of Christ’s birth. ‘What we see is a little startling to one who still thinks . Of Old Judea in terms of pastoral hymns and shepherds on the hillside watching their flocks by night.

Professor Cason in the Virginia Quar- terly Review—looking to the future state of American culture—“work, is that of an unpleasant necessity, to be avoided so far as possible. This member of the faculty of the Univer- sity of Alabama indulges in a somewhat ironic vein. But throughout the south, whose native “languor” he extols, his defense of it will be received with approval.

K Mc COY althiertaneae ENCLOSE STAMPED AOORESSEO EN SERVICE © 1926 MSCOY HEALTH DRESSING FOR WINTER The big problem in dressing for the winter months is- to. adapt your clothes so that while indoors you will never be over-heatéd or uncomfort- able, and when out of doors you will be warmly clad. “Offices and homes afe usually kept as warm as a balmy summer day, while the outside weath- er may be near the freezing point, so that unless one dresses properly, one will be over-heated ‘indoors and in- adequately heated out of doors. One of the best ways to dress for the winter months is to accustom yourself to wearing either ordinary underwear or a moderate weight of knit underwear. In this way you will not be too warm while in the house, but on going out of doors where you have to face the biting cold, you should plan to weag good warm heavy outer garments, a pair of warm gloves to protect the fingers from get- ting numb and cold, and a scarf or muffler to protect the throat. You will find that wearing more of the warm clothing externally will protect you from the blasts of winter and has the great advantage that when you come again into a warm room you may easily remove your heavy outer bead and be comfortable near the Many women insist on thin silk hose even in the coldest weather, but if they do insist on doing this they should at least be sure that they have a pair of warm overshoes which cling snugly around the ankles to keep the feet warm. While it is wise to keep the skin warm at all times, it is not healthy to be overheated, as this reduces the tone of the skin and causes a slight sweat all over the body so that when we go out into the cold chilliness may occur. If the skin has been over-clothed for years it soon loses its power of reacting against the cold. A good reaction means, for example, if you take a cold bath and rub the skin well it*turns rosy and warm. If the skin has been coddled for months, it no longer reacts and a person is apt to catch cold“every time he sits in a draft. You should form the habit the winter will find it advis- able to change to slightly heavier woolen hose. However, cold hands and feet are due to poor circulation and one should attempt to overcome “| this by taking vigorous physical cul- ture exercises. We should learn not | to over-dress for the cold.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Gland Functioning Question: Mrs. F. P. asks: “What is the function of the pituitary gland, and in what way does it affect an in- dividual? What are the symptoms of a disturbed pituitary gland? Can a normal or abnormal one be deter- mined by the X-ray?” Answer: The pituitary gland is divided into two distinct lobes, each of which seems to have different functions. The exact difference of the interior and posterior secretions has not been definitely determined. An under-functioning of the pitui- tary gland may produce a very obese individual resembling a fat boy. An excess of the secretion may produce enlargement of the hands, feet, low- er jaw, and an increase in height producing giantism. It is generally admitted that the front lobe exerts most of the influence upon the bodily growth, and the posterior lobe upon the metabolism. The normality or abnormality of the gland could not be determined by the X-ray. Face Twitches Question: Miss A. B. asks: “Would nervousness cause a twitching of the | face? At times I cannot control ¢ the muscles of my face. I am 20 years old.” Answer: You need. a: diagnosis to determine the cause of your nervous- Ress. “You can then no doubt be helped if the right treatments are used, with diet and the culti- tion of good hygienic habits. Verruca Question: F. S.° writes: “I have | what the doctor calls a verruca on my hand. Would a lack of salt in my rig cause this, and how can I remove Answer: A verruca is a wart and there are many different types. It is Possible that a fasting and dieting. - regimen followed by a local cautery treatment on the verruca would over- come it. A lack of salt in the diet would not cause this, but general acidosis might be responsible. in the snow perfectly nude except for , os ; °————————______,, | AT THE MOVIES | —— eee CAPITOL THEATRE Beautiful romance, powerful drama and natural scenic effects have been combined in an unusually entertain- ing motion picture by Henry King whose “Eyes of the World,” an Inspir- O'Neil and Brandon Hurst in the featured cast.
