CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON Back in Harness : William Randolph Hearst, greatest of modern news- * papermen, is back in the harness. At first glance that means little to the average Ameri- *can but, if he takes time to examine the subject more ~ closely, it may have a greater effect on his thinking than appears at first glance. Hearst has given the American publishing field many things, some of which have been universally acclaimed and some of which have drawn criticism. He has been| called this nation’s greatest exponent of yellow journal- ism, and perhaps he is. Still, it is not to be forgotten that the appearance of most modern newspapers is based largely on what Hearst thinks it should be. It was he who introduced the glaring headline, the large type, the lavish use of pictures, the human in- terest story. Not all of these things originated with him but it was he and the members of his organiza- tion, publishers of a great chain of newspapers, who set the pace in their use. For the last 10 years Hearst has been more or less in- active but last year he went to Europe and was expelled from France. That fact seemed to expel from his mind the “rich man take it easy” idea for upon his return he began to do things with his newspapers. They are be- ginning again to reflect the vigorous personality of the man who has done more things and won and lost more fights than any other publisher of our time. Perhaps the original exponent of the “screamer” head- line is developing more restraint as he grows older. At any rate, in a general order to his newspapers, he says: “I think it is possible to have too much typographical display in a newspaper and easily possible to have too blatk and brutal a display.” And this to the publishers of such journals as the Chicago Herald and Examiner and the San Francisco Examiner. Hearst led the way toward big headlines. Is he now to reverse the process and produce a more modest type of newspaper? We doubt if he can do it, Wor things are different now than when Mr. Hearst first came into prominence. | In any event, his resumption of authority over his newspapers is of importance, for millions of Americans road these publicatiens and the ideas which are held forth to them cannot help finding a way into their consciousness. Botulism to Blame Hunters who blame the presence of alkali in certain western lakes for the death of millionS of ducks an- nually, will have to revise their theories, according to experts of the federal department of agriculture. The department also used to hold to the idea that cx- cessive quantities of alkali was the cause of the death of wild fowl in certain paris of the west. But its cxperts fed alkali to ducks and other birds under all sorts of conditions and failed to make the birds ill with the same kind of malady which was killing their fellows in the lakes and marshes. The bacterial theory had been discarded once, but finally they went back to it. By making cultures from the tissues of ducks killed by the disease, they were able to infect other ducks. They now regard the essential part of the mystery as having been solved. Much re- mains to be learned but the scientists expect to ferret) out the details of the secret which has caused sports-| men so much alarm. i It appears that the germ which is causing the trouble is a new one in this country. About 10 years ago it) was discovered in America for the first time in the larvae | of the green fly (lucilia caesar) and since then some} outbreaks of botulism have occurred in several parts of the United States among domestic chickens, ducks and | swans. It is botulism, they say, which has killed so many wild fowl. | Much as they were mistaken as te the cause, however,’ sportsmen who have sought to prevent the loss of aucks | by sickness, have been pursuing the right tactics, the) scientists find. The maintenance of deep, fresh water | and the elimination of areas of mud flats is the method} recommended. | ‘THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, MONDAY, JANUARY 26, 1931 know it. The humblest country minister occasionally has @ better understanding of things than the expensive city specialist. But in the past everyone concerned tried to pretend that the pastor and the physician occupied distinct fields, which never overlapped. Doctors did not tell their pa- tients to go and talk with their ministers, nor did min- isters tell their parishioners to go and get- psycho- analyzed. Nowadays we are beginning to know better. It will be] interesting to see what success this clinic has. Our notion is that it ought to work well. And if the experi- ment foreshadows a joining of hands of science and faith, it is so much the better. George Had Speed In another month this nation will again celebrate the ; birthday anniversary of George Washington. The man has grown to be a tradition in America, a young land with relatively few traditions. He stands forth in the pages of our history as a granite-faced man with an inflexible will and a great genius for the leader- ship of his feilows. | We speak of him in terms of sincere if awe-struck af-, {fection and the names which have been applied to him after years of oratorical competition ring in our ears. We know of him as “The father of his country,” as “This Nation's First Citizen,” as “First in War, First in Peace and First in the Hearts of His Countrymen.” But how/many of us know of George Washington as an impetuous lover who niet a girl one day and became} engaged to her the next. And what's more he married | the girl, too. . Ordinarily, in reviewing Washington’s heroic qual- ities, we lose sight of the fact that he was eminently! |human, also, and that “speed” in making love was one} of his warmest human attributes. ! It is no muck-raking novelist who gives us this in-| {sight into Washington's love affair but the George; Washington Bicentennial commission, an organization} lof earnest men and women who are arranging a big) celebration of the man’s two hundredth birthday anni- versary. i The commission tells us, in brief, that in May, 1758, Washington was hastening from his home to Williams- burg on a military mission. At Williams Ferry over the| |Pamunkey river he met a Major Chamberlayne, who in-| vited the young soldier to his home. Washington refused, | but, when the major mentioned that Mrs. Martha Custis was stopping at his home and again renewed his invita- tion, Washington accepted. It seems that George had seen and heard of Mrs. Custis, then widowed for only; a year, on some previous occasion. ‘Washington intended to stay only to dinner. He left | Bishop, his man-servant, standing in the courtyard to hold the horses and the assumption was that he would jresume his journey after a short stop. But Bishop waited for hours and finally was told they would remain at Major Chamberlayne’s all night. The next day Washington went to ‘Williamsburg but on his way back to his home stopped at the Custis home jon the Pamunkey, where Mrs. Custis was expecting him. When he left a few days later he took with him a promise of marriage. He did not see his bride-to-be jagain until December but they were married January) 6, 1759. | And so it would appear that Washington had “charm”; jas a lover as well as skill as a soldier. Perhaps the ‘two go well together. At any rate modern youth, with jall its assumed impetuousness, would have to show un- ‘common “speed” indeed to equal Washington's record. | { Buck-ague is what you have the first time you shoot | |the buck. You never saw anybody with bull-ague. 4 | | ! | | | i | | H Editorial Comment Editorials printed below show the trend of thought by other editors, They are published without regard to whether they agree or disagree with The Trib- une's policies. | The Capitol Will Not Be Moved | (Dunn County Journal) A number of people are becoming greatly exercised lover the prospect of a battle by New Rockford and{ Jamestown for removal of the state capitol to one of} those points. | It is safe to assume at this time that the capitol will! be as it always has been since statehood, at Bismarck. | ‘The reason for this is that the U. S. government in mak- ‘ing the land grant did so with the intent and purpose of being of assistance to the people of this state ir ‘securing sufficient grounds for state governmental use. {That's one reason, but there are many others that are | probably just as good, and some of them better. | | The state government owns large tracts of land near | Bismarck and Mandan, and two of our largest institu- tions are located at those two points—the penitentiary and the S. T. S., both have considerable acreage; to say nothing of the advantages of being placed on the bank of a navigable stream, the Missouri. There is no reason for getting excited about thzse two towns starting something, because both have started a movement for removal with selfish motives, and their individual antagonism will defeat the removal if nothing else does. ASound Program | (New Leipzig Sentinel) } The American Farm Bureau federation proposes that, state legislatures take stens to extend road building operations this winter, pointing out that such @ pro- gram will relieve unemployment, aid in bringing busi- ness back to normal and at the same time use public funds to advantage. J Strong arguments support this. Money can be ob- tained by states at the lowest rate of interest in years; construction material can be purchased at prices far un- der normal; engineerimg and other technical talent is Clinics for the Soul likewise available at 2 lower cost and there is a plentiful News that doctors of medicine and ministers of the; supply of labor.

It is encouraging, because it indjeates a growing realization of the fact that ills of the soul are mysterious and shadowy, beyond cxact d-finition; and while some of them can be cured by hyérotherapy or auto-suggestion, others must be treated by the good old method of prayer and fasting. ‘This, in turn, is by way of being an admission that we do not know quite as much about the ultimate mysteries as some of us have supposed; and a degree of humility is a becoming thing. There has been prevalent im recent years a cocksureness,'an arrogant certainty, about things that had always before been regarded as stupendous puzzles.

QUESTIONS IN REGARD TO C DIET Witt BE vnciose phy aaoneeseo a yveione FOR REPLY © 1926 MPCOY NEALTH SERVICE -LOS ANGELES- CAL: THE RHEUMATIC TENDENCY Rheumatic toxins are versatile per- formers. They may assume many forms. At first observation there might appear to be no relation be- tween acute rheumatic fever, heart disease, chorea, arthritis and muscu- lar rheumatism, but it seems almost certain that much the same kinds of toxins are responsible for all of these troubles. The various forms of rheumatism may be divided by symptoms into groups, as the following: Acute rheu- rheumatism, chronic rheumatism, muscular - rheumatism, rheumatoid arthritis, acute peri-articular rheu- matism, chronic osteoarthritic rheu- matism, and Still’s disease. At one time, pains in any part of the muscles or bones were. termed rheumatism, but doctors are now try- ing to make sharp distinctions be- tween the different forms. This is that they do not lose sight of the fun- damental causes which are present in every case. ‘The medical profession is almost united in the view that rheumatic diseases are caused by infection from some variety of streptococci, and it is believed that the possible sources of the infection may originate in the teeth, mouth, throat, tonsils, sinuses, inner ear, bronchial tubes, intestinal tract and other mucous membranes. I am noi disparaging the infection theory. However, I am certain that the yarious forms of infection are of- ten only irritating causes whenever there already exists a rheumatic tox- feosis. For instance, @ tonsillar in- fection may be like a match setting off the blaze of rheumatism, but that fuel is already present and is always a toxic, poisoned state of the body. The reason that the rheumatic dis- orders have proved such stubborn dis- eases to cure is mostly because phy- sicians have been 60 busy in search- ing for a specific bacterial cause that they have overlooked the fundamen- tal principle that rheumatism must have its root in a soil of some toxe- mia, and even if bacteria are to be considered @ contributory cause, they could not be considered the direct cause any more than-a luxuriant growth of vegetables would be con- ground. It is my opinion that before any form of rheumatism develops, there must have been a definite leaning or inclination toward this disorder, long before an acute attack can develop, or before a chronic form shows in Painful or enlarged joints. It is undoubtedly true that small forms of vegetable micro-organisms are present in almost every disease, but it is folly to allow our attention to be sidetracked into considering these in America. many watch his step. * eK. speech.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Frog in Throat Question: G. F. R. writes: “A young man of twenty-four keeps dearing his throat. Could you please tell me if this is from smoking, and what could be done for it?” Answer: Such troubles are usual- ly caused through the wrong kind of diet which produces too much ca- tarrhal mucus. Smoking, and parti- cularly inhaling the smoke, may be a contributory cause. Blood-letting Question: ©. Y. writes: “Since high blood pressure has become so common, why have the doctors aban- doned the old method of bleeding the | patient? This seems a logical way of getting rid of a surplus of blood. ‘When this method was being prac- ticed high blood -pressure was un- known.” . Answer: Bleeding the patient tem- porarily reduces the amount af blood, but it’does not cure the cause of the arterial tension. The blood pressure can very readily be brought down to normal by a fasting and dieting re- gimen, and- the patient's general health at the same time is improved. This method should be understood by every practicing physician, since it is much more satisfactory than some of the methods of treatment now in vogue. Superfluous Hair Question: H.E. T. writes: “I have 8 bad growth of hair on my face, and have been told that an electric needle would remove it permanently. Kind- ly tell me whether this is so, as I do not wish to purchase one unless it removed hair forever.” Answer: The electric needle, to re- move hair, must be used by an ex- Pert operatar who has been trained to do this work. Go to the nearest beauty parlor and they will tell you where you will be able to get this kind of treatment. At present the expense is about $210,000 a year for each 1,000 miles of lighted airways, distinctly above the original estimate. The eventual to- tal cost was computed by Secretary Lamont, under whose jurisdiction in the commerce department the expen- diture comes. Yet, he has concluded after a special review of the situation, the expenditure will have to be main- tained.
