A decade and a half ago the mor- tality rate among hospital patients was nine per cent. Latest figures show it now is three per cent, in- dicating that the number of lives saved has been tripled. At the same time the average stay of patients in hospitals has been halved, thus effecting an economy in human life and productive time which cannot well be estimated. Credit for the improvement is giv- en by the American College of Phy- sicians and Surgeons to higher stan- dards maintained by hospitals which comply with the requirements form- ulated by the college. In 1918 only 89 hospitals in the United States and Canada could meet the standard. This year there are 2,294 hospitals on the accredited list and the number still is growing. H The method by which the standard is maintained is interesting. Con- tinuous inspections of all hospitals ecntaining 25 beds or more are made by the hospital standardization de- partment of the college without cost to the hospitals. Hospitals are sur- veyed at their own request only and compliance with the standard is voluntary. The only penalty for fail- ure to meet it is elimination from the accredited list. Figures for North Dakota disclose 14 hospitals which are kept under scrutiny by the college. Of these 11 are fully accredited and three are conditionally accredited, meaning that they have accepted the mini- mum standards of the college of surgeons but have been unable, for lack of time or other acceptable rea- son, to meet them in every detail. These 14 hospitals have a total of 1,543 beds of which 1,295 are in the fully accredited institutions and 248 in those under condition, H A change in the public attitude toward hospitals also is apparent, There was a time when a patient entered such an institution with, reluctance and fear of death. Today he comes in knowing that, if his case is serious, whatever chance of life he may have will be multiplied by com- Petent care and modern facilities. But equalling the manner in which the hospitals have improved and maintained their standards, is that in which they have rendered service to their respective communities. The number of charity patients has in- creased in recent years and these in-| stitutions are finding it difficult, in| Some cases, to collect from “pay” patients. Yet they carry on, render- ing service to rich and poor alike. In case of accident or serious illness, the need for cate rather than ability to pay is the criterion. Bismarck’s hospitals meet the hu- man as well as the technical stan- dards of hospital management and in so doing they are rendering a service to the people of this area which will redound to their credit Jong after the present exigency has Passed. Pleasing the Public It is not. only the politicians who are faced with the task of pleasing the public. Everyone who seeks to Sell the public goods or services is faced with the same problem. In the past the man who most correctly guessed what the public wanted—and gave it to them—was rated a business genius. Some others have succeeded by telling the public what it wanted and getting the peo- Ple to agree with them. Of the two systems, however, the former seems most advantageous. ‘The difficulty, from a commercial #tandpoint, has been to find out the Public's reaction, just as straw votes are used to determine the political | house. } {guard gets out of the way when an which has as its “faculty” 100 aver- age housewives, carefully selected from different communities through- out the country. Each month these women give their opinions on four different con-| sumer-acceptance problems faced by} the six manufacturers. All of the women have entered into the enter- j Prise with enthusiasm and the manu-! facturers nave received some startiing | information. For instance one manufacturer learned that the method which he provided for opening the package which protected his product was unt-| versally voted a menace to the house- | wife's hands. The opener was changed immed- jately and the manufacturer already has received a big dividend on his! investment in the institute, Elephantine Symbolism Those who believe in symbolism may find something to think about in a recent occurrence at the white A group of young Republicans was| going to call on the president and, hired two elephants from an amuse- ment company to lend color to the Procession. The elephants were sup- Posed to remain outside the grounds, order to that effect having been is- Sued, but the elephants failed to re- ceive copies of the order. At any rate, when they saw the Green grass of the white house lawn they tired of their dict of hay and, bolted through the gates. The guards yelled “halt” but even a white house elephant makes up his mind to do something. So the great pachyderms ravaged the white house mint patch (relic of pre-Volstead days) and made a meal out of the fancy shrubbery. Political Secretary Walter Newton burst out of the executive mansion to conduct an inquiry as to how the elephants got in but received no satisfaction. The only ones who could tell were the elephants. Anyone who believes in the signi- ficance of unrelated events can write| his own moral—if any. { The Fight for Education In North Dakota we have only one! private institution of higher educa-| tion, but in the more thickly popu- lated areas of the east church col- leges and other private institutions abound. The manner in which enrollment at such schools has been maintained in spite of the times is indicated by a survey which shows that the average school is 84 per cent filled as compared with 89 per cent last| rear. i In many cases, the report discloses, | special There’s Someth ing in the Air! -BREAK NG REG ELECTION . \STRATION G3 stage. His debut was made at a chil- dren’s party many years ago, when the youngsters came as Palmer Cox's brownies. Remember them? When he was 19, it appeared that he might have @ grand opera career and ap- {peared in Boston in “Mignon” ... Some years later he came to New York as a dance instructor at one of the “dance palaces” and from there stepped to the Palace theater. His present partner, Tamara Geva, came from Leningrad (St. Petersburg to you) and made her first appearance in Berlin. ee THAT JERITZA-METRO SPLIT And it’s funny about Jeritza re- turning as a concert feature. That split with the Metropolitan Opera last season appears to have been permanent. And it’s the golden- haired, lovely Ljunborg who, it is ad- vertised, will sing her roles this year. And was Jeritza almost at this new- comer’s hair last winter, if you can believe the back stage tattle! Punny, too, the idea of putting on the Negro “Green Pastures” in Stock- holm with the blondes in blackface. ... Someone tells me there are but five Negroes in that Swedish city. But I was never there, so I can’t testify. Still funnier is the “Goona-Goona” situation in Manhattan. “Goona- Goona” is a Balinese “love powder” and was taken as a film @itle for a film about life on the island of Bali. Hardly had the picture made a hit when out came a cosmetic concern} with a powder advertised as exuding that strange and exotic charm.

Undismayed, he steered it through a campaign that dropped millions. He revived it, re- organized it, set it on its feet, kept on paying its bills. Affectionate as well as liberal, the result of the Chicago convention was a staggering blow to him; but he has recovered. The slowness of the recovery only testi- fies to the deepness of the wound. He is game. He is a true sportsman. Tt is good to know that much of the deficiency which he has long been carrying for the benefit of the party has been reduced by withdrawals from the not too fat campaign funds of this year. Mr. Raskob, once his old chieftain has consented to the policy of ap- easement, was sure to come into camp. He comes not as a grumbler or sorehead or half-hearted recruit. Almost his first act is to draw a check for $25,000 cash to the com- missary department. He might have won the easier and meaner glory of forgiving that amount of the debt still due him. The check might have been larger if his old commander were still at the head of the army; but the generosity of Mr. Raskob's spirit is magnificently manifest. He 4s @ Demcecrat of Democrats.

These remedies, so lightly taken by laymen, cause contraction of the gall-bladder and ejection of bile or an attempt at ejection, and the contraction in- creases the cclic or pain, without ac- complishing any benefit greater than an ordinary meal would produce. The colic or pain associated with gall-bladder inflammation, whether there are gallstones or not, is chief- ly due to contractions of the gall- bladder and bile passages. Besides saline laxatives and castor or olive with acid gastric juice) into the duo- denum produces such contraction, especially food containing consider- able fat, such as yolk of egg, cream, butter, animal fats, olive oil. And we know that anger produces such contractions. There is still another reason why persons with gall-bladder trouble should avoid the foods mentioned and certain other items to be men- tioned presently. These foods con- tain considerable cholesterol, a fat- like substance which enters into the composition of most gallstones. Be- sides the fats named, liver, brains, Peas, beans and wheat are rich in cholesterol.

So few theater pro- ducers ever manage to retire. When they have the big money they go in for lavish productions. And after a while, they can’t afford to retire—so they start all over again in an effort to make a new fortune. And so it goes to the final curtain. ..

Fanchon is shocked to learn that Tony is a racketeer, implicated in a | recent murder. She, too, is now wanted. Fanchon escapes in an air- lane under the name of “Smith.” velyn Howard, whom she had met on the boat coming from Hawaii, is aboard. Evelyn is enroute to New York to live with her aunt, the wealthy Mrs. Carstairs, whom she has never met. After Fanchon con- | des in Evelyn, the latter treats her coolly. The plane crashes and Fanchon is the only survivor. She decides to escape Tony and the past and start life anew by masquerading “as Evelyn. She requests a doctor to it irs. Carstairs that “Evelyn” A wire comes from Mrs. Carstairs saying that Collin cannot meet Fanchon. Fanchon learns Col- tin is Mrs. Carstairs only son. Mrs. Carstairs meets Fanchon at train ex- claiming “But you're not Evelyn, are you . You can’t be.” The girl’s terror of being discovered passes when Mrs. Carstairs explains the couldn't believe anyone so beautiful could belong in the fam- ily. Her kindness and affection pricks Fanchon’s conscience. CHAPTER XI Mrs. Carstairs left the room after « word to the maid. The little straw suitcase had been brought up and was on the cartvas luggage stand. The maid moved toward it. “Don’t unpack it,” Fanchon told her, “there is nothing of my own in there. It must be returned. “Very good, Miss Evelyn. May 1 run your bat! “Please,” said Fanchon There had been plenty of servants vn the plantation. Fanchon was perfectly accustomed to service, al- though she had lacked it for eight months or more now. But it was easy to slip back into the old ways. Presently she was lying full sength in the great marble tub, her bandaged arm a little awkwardly out of the water. There war a warm scent of fragrant bath salts. The bathroom itself was quite beautiful, tiled_in greet, and black and white. Fanchon closed her eyes and dreamed. But it wa: alla dream Later. rested anc refreshed she was in th big swan bed, with pil- lows pilea in back of her, looking about the pretty room. Emma ap- peared with a table that swung out over the bed and a tray. On the tray was supper—invalid’s fare . . . @ quaint little pottery bow! of soup, the white breast of a chicken,, a baked potato and a vegetable, \a salad, a cup of custard and coffee. Fanchon, who had been hungrier than she thought, looked at it with delight, and at the silver, the pretty china, the bread and butter sand- wiches cut wafer thin. Mrs. Carstairs came in, in a dark tailored satin lounging robe. Her hair, free of her hat, was lovely, masses of it, pure silver, waved close to her fine head. Emma pulled a big chair close to the bed, arranged a tip-top table beside it and Jameson brought in the second tray. “Your mother and 1 used to do this, now and again,” Mrs. Carstairs commented, and sighed, heavily. When everything had been cleared away—Mrs. Carstairs talk- ing of Southampton, of plans in the meantime, lightly and with calcu- lated casualness, the doctor was an- nounced. He came on his way to the theatre, in evening clothes, A | tall, good-looking man, Wynne, by ; mame.

She's Pretty badly shocked by the whole dreadful business. And very nerv- ous. Give her lots of sunlight, rest, fresh air and keep off any subject that seems to affect her disagreeably or emotionally. Sce that she gets plenty of recreation too, and laugh- ter. She'll need that to help her forget.” After a moment he asked, “And Collin?” Mrs. Carstairs made a gesture of despair. “Terribly stubborn,” she admitted. “Does she know?” “Only what I wrote her. Which wasn't’ much. There are some things that pi cannot possibly write,” Mrs. Carstairs admitted. She added, as the doctor stood there silent, frowning a little, “I told her I would talk to her about it tonight.” , Not tonight,” the physician ad- vised, quickly, “wait until she is more rested. She is struggling for self control. I could see that. But she is really tremendously upset.” He left and Mrs. Carstairs re. turned to Fanchon, “I must,” said Fanchon, “send back the suitcase to the Lawsons, They are the people who took me in after—after the accident. I bor- rowed the case from them and a hat and coat as well. I could have bought things in the town but there wasn’t time and I couldn't get out to get them, she explained. “Emma will attend to it for you,” Mrs. Carstairs suggested, “you are not to worry. And you can send them a check for their kindness to you.” | “A check? ished, Mrs. Carstairs rose and went over to a rosewood desk. From the drawer she took a new bank book and gave it to Fanchon, opened it, It assured her that in a asked Fanchon, aston- her. “There’s nothing of my own there.” ture later,” Mrs. Carstairs told her, “It is your allowance.” Fanchon stared at the check book.

Yet how could she, wit out ravelling the web of dec which she had set herself to weave? Yet this money which was offered her was not her own, cither. Nothing could make it so. “It is your allowance,” said Mrs. Carstairs again, “and will be paid quarterly, The deposit was twenty-five hun- dred dollars. Fanchon flushed and paled again, But I can’t—it is too much. . . she stammered. Ten thousand dollars a year! Mrs. Carstairs said gently, “You will need’ pocket money. And clothes. I am going to give myself the great pleasure of out- fittting you, first, from head to feet. And after that, you may use your allowance as you see fit.” She added, “I have more money than I can Possibly spend. Collin has his own income.
