(Official City, State and County Newspaper) Foreign Representatives SMALL, SPENCER, BREWER (Incorporated) CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON A Real Legacy The death of Mrs. Augusta Trygg, Tast pioneer of an important Burleigh county family, illustrates anew the benefits which this country has re- ceived from the women of sterling character and undaunted spirit who helped their husbands settle this re- gion. At her death Mrs. Trygg left no; large fortune. A useful and active life had resulted in no tremendous pil- ing up of this world’s goods. # But the bequest which she left to Burleigh county was more important to its future success and well-being than vast properties or huge sums ot money. She gave us, and left behind her, several of Burleigh county's finest farm families. Through her we re- ceived many steady and dependable citizens, friends and neighbors who carry on with the same character which made her a distinguished fig- ure. This is a real heritage and one which any woman could well be proud to leave to the community which she helped to build. No community is better than the citizens in it and, by the same token, no community of to- morrow is better than the mothers of today. As Mrs. Trygg breathed her last, at a ripe old age, she did so with the knowledge that she was leaving be- hind her something of value which storm, nor flood nor misfortune could taxe away. This was the history of work well done, of responsibilities met, of constructive achievement. This is the true legacy of all that fine group of pioneers who are van- ishing from our midst. If we, who come after them, do as Well as they, there will be no doubt about the sta- bility of this state and nation. Not His Responsibility Yet Some New York city newspapers are | taking Governor Franklin D. Roose- | velt to task for not agreeing to Presi- dent Hoover's scheme for a debt com- mission and attendant delays in the foreign obligations. | Of course Mr. Roosevelt is not yet; President. In the second place, upon Congress Tests the acceptance or rejection of any treaty affecting the payments of the debts. Again, the payments due soon are of such a nature as not to be em- barrassing to France or Great Britain. The stand taken by those countries now is in hope of getting an agree- ment on future payments. Immediate payments are smaller than what some of our federal bureaus are now spend- ing. : | There is no need for excitement at this juncture. The European nations can pay and probably will. Public sentiment is overwhelming in America that they should pay the in- stalments when due, giving the new administration time to formulate a | Policy when it assumes the reins ot government next March. Postponement of the Gebt payment now will not better business any more than the moratorium of more than a Year ago did. Advocates of cancella- tion or reduction of these debts are merely speculating when they promise Prosperity as a result of debt revision. sion must be had from the state bank- ing board before a new bank can be opened. It prevents the launching of unsound or ill-advised financial en- terprises which, in the end, only jeo- Pardize the money of depositors. At the beginning of the tremendous shakedown which the financial struc- ture of this state has undergone, there were some 800 state banks in opera-! tion. Every small town had at least one and many towns had several. For a time they made money, largely through enterprises not directly con- nected with the banking business, and there appeared to be room for all. But as these sources of revenue dried | up, the weaker institutions were squeezed out. Failures by the hun- dreds left millions of dollars tied up in closed institutions. It is probable that, because of the; jintensity of the process, many com-/| munities which could support a bank | now lack such facilities. Applications | jto open banks in them should receive favorable consideration but there| | should be no return to the unbridled} jcompetition which this state once knew and which contributed so sub- stantially to the large number of de- linquencies. ‘The banks which have endured thus far are good banks in the hands ot careful bankers. They have faithfully performed the main duty of a bank ‘by protecting the funds of their de- positors. Careful regulation of the banking business will enable them to; | continue to do so. | Signs multiply that the people ot | | this state soon will have more money jto deposit in banks than they have had for several years. When this time comes, they will be able to make their} deposits with confidence if’ the pro-| vision guarding against ruinous com- Petition is maintained. The New Lobbyi There was a time when every ses- sion of every state legislature found representatives of the railroads on} hand to “lobby” for their interests. ‘This still may be true in some places, self-addressed envelope is enclosed. in ink. tions, PERSONAL HEALTH SERVICE By William Brady, M.

Editorial Comment | Editorials printed below show the trend of thought by other editors. They are published without regard to whether they agre@ or disagree with The Tribune's policies. | | The Hastings Plan (New York World-Telegram) Senator Daniel O. Hastings, of Del- | aware, is a conservative Republican, former supreme court judge, an ex- | dry. His proposal that the coming /| session of congress refuse further | funds for dry enforcement in wet states, therefore, must be taken seri- ously. Seventeen states either have refused to enact state enforcement laws, re- Pealed their dry acts or voted by ref- erendum to repeal the Eighteenth Amendment. Why, asks Senator | Hastings, should the federal govern- ment spend big sums trying to enforce a low in non-coopefative states where | “there never was a chance to make it | effective?” Past experience hardly confirms this viewpoint. Mr. Roosevelt is doing what every ‘wise president-elect would do in the same situation—watchfully waiting ‘until the job is his. An Important Safeguard 1t is elmost inevitable that consid- eration should be given to the state's banking laws when the legislature meets here this winter despite the fact that much time was taken st the last session in revising the old laws and incorporating them in a new statute recommended by s banking commis- sion, It may be that additional tinkering is necestary on some details but it would seem inadvisable to discard one Major asfegyards to souna now on the statute books. the provision fhat permis- Obviously congress should not nul- lify a law for the: whole country be- fore the whole country repeals it. But it is neither justice nor economy to keep on enforcement money into states that reject enforcement. To continue to spend upward of $4,- 000,000 a year on federal “enforce- ment” in the seventeen non-coopera- tive states is unfair and wasteful. It is unfair to the 45,000,000 people of wet states to foist enforcement upon them against their wills. They have told the government-they want their own money spent on more pro- ductive enterprises. There is no money In the United of nt. Even now we are heavily in the red, and are | borrowing money to run the govern- ment and to feed our hungry.

The workman scrubs his hands and arms, rinses and dries the skin well, work, Some machine workers find a sim- ple mixture of wool fat (lanolin) and Printers and machinists will find sawdust and soap mixture better for ers, but in some shops the managers object to the use of sawdust or veg- etable fibre cleaners on the ground that these tend to cleg the drains more than do sand or grit cleaners. Women whose hands suffer from hot water and irritating household cleaners will find this hand lotion white: Dissolve 80 grains of tragacanth (in shavings or chips, not powder) in a pint of water, by heating and stirring constantly till a clear thin jelly is ob- tained. Add one-half ounce of gly- cerin and three teaspoonfuls (one- half ounce) of boric acid powder. Ap- ply a few drops of the lotion to the hands, two or three times daily, after washing, and before the skin is quite ary. One man tells me this lotion is good for chafing after shavinghe says his wife's neck often showed considerable chafing, but it cleared up after he presented a bottle of the lotion to the butcher boy. Printers commonly use mineral oil and arms, and follow that with soap and hot water. Pretty brutal treat- ment of the skin. In their work the; skin comes in contact with the inks used, and with turpentine, benzol and other solvents. Their assistants, us- ually girls, sometimes keep a cloth saturated with benzol, which they use to remove ink from the tips of their fingers, and the benzol dissolves the natural oil from the skin, so that these workers often have painful fingers. The cleaning of the plates involves the use of turpentine or more injurious substitutes for turpentine, and the cleaning of the machinery the use of kerosene. All this is tough on the skin. These workers should spend enough time preparing the hands and morning and afternoon. Lanolin and olive oil, or lanolin and castor oil, makes an effective protective. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Ear Knob Protuberance or a knot on top of left ear lobe, 14 indh wide. Could this be removed and the skin closed smoothly over the spot? (G. R.) Answer—Yes, Any good doctor can do it, under local anesthesia, and seal the little wound immediately. Disease Phobia First husband died uremia 13 months after marriage six years ago. After we married he told me he had had a disease’ but wis cured. Now married again. But scared to have children. (Mrs. M. H.) Answer—Silly to remain uncertain. Go to your physician and let him de- termine definitely that you have no disease. Of course your secret will be as safe with him as it is with me. Expectant Mothers Should Not Smoke Our doctor agrees with you about) farther and says expectant mothers should not indulge. As you know, he is an obstetrician. He refuses to ac- cept the case if he thinks the pros- pective mother smokes or drinks... (G. R. M.) Answer—8Still, some obstetricians permit patients to smoke moderately. Your doctor's attitude seems more nearly right. Saccharin Not a Food Mentioned I was going to make some saccharine pickles. Mother said she wouldn't, and brother said I needn’t serve him any. (Mrs. H. J. E.) Answer—I concur. Why the drug or chemical sweetener? Sugar is the best sweetener. (Copyright, John F. Dille Co.)
