Let Henry Do It On Saturday Governor William Langer addressed a telegram to Sec- retary of Agriculture Wallace asking him to do all in his power to fix grain prices in Minneapolis as fol- dows! Wheat $1.25 a bushel, flax $2, bar- ley 70 cents, rye 85 cents and oats 50 cents. The intent, doubtless, is to impress upon both farmer and businessman what a sincere friend of theirs the governor really is. The trouble, however, is that it Suggests something for the other fel- low to do, realizing that whatever difficulties such action entails will not be presented to Governor Langer for solution. Every citizen of this section is in favor of the prices suggested or of an even higher level. We have no desire to profiteer at the expense of the consumers of the nation, but with time and ask ourselves the question, “after repeal, what?” A complex industrial elvilization like ours cannot operate on a tradi- tion of hard drinking. Probably it was a dawning recognition of that fact that made us willing to experi- ment with federal prohibition 13 years ago. And now that we have learned the failure of that method of coping with the problem, we are going to have to find some new sys- tem of social control which will keep alcohol from becoming a menace. Our best bet, oddly enough, may well be this dawning economic sys- tem by which the ordinary working man is going to get more leisure, bet- ter living conditions and a higher wage. Strong drink, traditionally, has been the wage slave's method of es- cape from unpleasant reality. Ex- cessive drinking was not so much the cause of abject poverty as abject Poverty was the cause of excessive drinking. And from this it is clear that the success of the repeal experi- ment will depend largely on ‘the suc- cess of the industrial “new deal.” Bringing the “submerged tenth” up into a freer and happier life is our best chance of making alcohol a use- ful servant and not a ruinous master. Even with the probable advantage of better times, however, it is going to be necessary to exercise some form of control over a traffic which first became famous by making Noah un- fit for duty. We must devise some means of keeping the new leisure from being devoted to bouts with the drinking cup. It is not at all certain that we are going to have a special election in North Dakota this year to dealeither with beer or the question of prohi- bition in general. If we do, however, it is necessary that full recognition be given to that large number of people who, al- though disgusted with prohibition, realize that repeal is not a complete answer to this age-old problem.

And because he is handling a diffi- cult job in a big way, it is unfair for the governor to attempt to put him “in the hole” by advocating some- thing which may be inadvisable from ® national standpoint.

No reply can be made to qu Address Dr. William Brady, THE MUCOUS COLITIS COMPLEX The traditional malady of the classes, gout, has become suspiciously rare in this age of voluptuousness. One need not seek for for the expla- nation. Modern diagnosis is based on methods of precision. No longer can @ doctor, no matter how eminent, “pronounce” things thus and so. If scientific tests fail to substantiate his opinion the great specialist's snap diagnosis is worth no more than the guess of any other doctor. The theory on which the concep- tion of gout was based was-that an excess of uric acid accumulated in the blood or in the affected tissues. In some cases a rough and ready test of the blood seemed to bear out this theory, but accurate chemical tests have shown that such an accumula- tion of an excess of uric aid is a common occurrence in all sorts of all- ments far removed from a “gouty” state. So the physician who still ventures to brand a complaint ‘gout’ is more romantic than practical. There must be a few classical quacks left, for the medicine makers still offer “uric acid eliminators” to the medical profession. Mucous colitis is another affectation of the classes which proves equally unsubstantial on analysis. Persons will please keep their temper until I explain that I do not insist there is nothing the matter with the poor gink who develops this morbid complex. I merely say the chances are all against colitis as @ correct diagnosis in such cases, Colitis means inflammation of the colon, the large intestine. Colitis can and does happen, of course, but when it does the patient presents no such symptoms as these victims of the mucous colitis complex have. That is a fair scientific statement of the facts, A correspondent writes: I cannot thank you enough for your advice to take flaxseed. Af- ter 40 years a trial of a few weeks has completely cured me.

In a few more min- utes the telephone will tinkle and a voice may say: “OK on that 1846 alarm.

No matter how charmed you may be at first with the words, a sustained effort de- mands little surprises, little mo- ments of not knowing what's going to happen,” Pamela Warren in- formed her lovely, young niece, Patricia Braithwait, as they basked in the Palm Beach sunshine. Eight! years before the wealthy Pamela had married handsome Jimmie Warren, and, in spite of an over- whelming love, their marriage had palled. Pat is shocked to learn that her father has lost his fortune. Aunt Pam suggests that Pat insure her father’s and her own future by marrying the wealthy, middle-aged Harvey Blaine, warning that the glamour of love wears off. Pat goes to an isolated spot, alone, to solve her problem, where she meets a handsome young man who only re- veals his first name—Jack. He tells her of his plantation, “Eagle's Nest”, where he hopes to go some day with the “right” girl. A strange peace envelops Pat in Jack’s com- pany and she wishes the witchery of the moment might continue for- ever, but—thoughts of her father’s financial predicament break the spell. Jack, too, is fascinated by Pat and can hardly resist embracing her. CHAPTER FIVE Sharply it came to her that in their three hours together he had told her nothing definite about him- self. He was not going to tell her. Aware all at once of the instinctive fear of the unknown, she turned swiftly through the jungle path to her car. “Goodbye, Jack,” she said as she stepped on the gas. “It’s been fun, T'll never forget being once a tramp by the side of the road.” His aloofness was swept away. “But there’s going to be more than once! Isn’t there? You said I might come over this evening? Or I thought you did. You told me your hotel. You aren’t going without tell- ing me your full name! You meant it when you said I might, didn’t you?” His words rushed out. “Yes, I meant it—then; but we're no longer tramps by the side of the road. It was just a lovely dream- time. Things are different—in real life. And we’ve—I’ve come awake. When one is awake one knows that duties erase dreams. Goodbye, Jack. Oh, I loved it all.” He stood where she left him, still as bronze. . As one would say; “She’s dead”—he said, “She’s mar- ried.” Motor roaring. Passing car after car... He wanted to kiss me terribly, thought Patricia. And I wanted him to. ... It’s the first time I ever wanted a man to kiss me.... Why didn’t he? Any other man I know ... But he isn’t like any other man I know. ... That then is what the girls mean when they talk about ... thrills... such a cheap word. I never knew before what. they meant .. . not really... . Oh well, T’ve no time for dreaming. Aunt Pam said I must marry at once. And, of course, one couldn’t say to a strange young man, “I’m poor and have a penniless old father who counts on me to save him. I’m look- ing for a home for us and the only one open to me is owned by an old horror of a horse-face—won’t you take us quickly? I’m sure I could love you if there were time to waste on these matters. ...” Well, the Harvey Blaines don’t waste time over moonlight and sea ‘nusic, .. . Besides, this man is a stranger.

I'll have the truth from Dadums before I do any desperate daughter stuff. s ee Mrs. James Darcy Warren, famed on two Continents for her exotic beauty, submitted herself to a big rocker on that side of the veranda girdled hotel which commanded a view of the driveway. Ben had reported that Patricia had not returned the car, and un- easy and disturbed, Pamela had come to the hotel immediately after lunch, She was not happy over what she had morning. Pat’s youth and beauty, given time, would put her in a posi- tion to choose for herself. But in view of her father’s pressirg situa- tion—ah, the pity of it.... The Gulf Stream had withdrawn its cooling breath. The low land lay fallow in the heat. The older wo- men were “resting” in their rooms; the men were on the links. Now and again young folk wandered away into a jungle-park on which the hotel gave at its back. A taxi swung into the driveway. Porters.ran out and began snatch- lultitude of bags bearing foreign labels. A woman in a sand ensemble, sand shoes and hat, fol- lowed the porters up the broad steps. A medium sized woman of thirty or thirty-five, quiet, colorless in dress and manner, yet drawing the eye. Pamela, who scarcely ever noted hotel arrivals, remarked her ap- pearance in detail, wondering who she was: “Beautiful, without having any claim to beauty. Distinctive, yet not distinguished.” The woman disappeared in the wide entrance; but her image, like a passing whiff of perfume, remained. Harvey Blaine, looking like a mournful horse, came out, ing a ingly over Patricia. Pamela smiled. These two amus- ed her as far as anything could amuse her. Distantly related to the old man, she had known him since childhood, and as a young girl on her father’s plantation which ad- joined the Braithwait plantation. Patricia, born to her parents in middle life, Pamela knew less in- timately. But during her brief visits to her old home she had been struck by the settled freedom existing be- tween the motherless girl and her father. No strife; none of the flamboyant rebellion of the modern girl; nor the battling futility of the modern parent. As if, having long ago settled all possible dis- putes in a conference in which each acknowledged the entire liberty of the other, they wore a whimsical attitude in argument, so that one said to Patricia in the} could never be certain as to whether they were serious or bantering, “I had lunch by the side of the road with a gentlemap who quoted ‘Browning, ate out of tin cans and off paper plates,” declared Patricia. “He explained to me a marvelous opera I’d heard, but was too ignor- jant to appreciate. He cooked me an omelet he'd learned to make in Heaven, asked me to go to the opera with him, and I promised, then changed my mind and said goodbye. He is tall and tanned as & cowboy, has nice grey eyes, dark hair with a slight wave in it and the fine leanness of face all heroes have |—firm mouth, determined jaw and |—well, you’ve read about him in a hundred novels. But his hands were different. At least I have never read of a hero that had hands like his, If I ever meet any novelist Tl tell him about those hands, Poor things, they must be put to it some- times to make their heroes a little different and yet cut them accord. ing to the adored pattern.” She rushed the words out, scarcely pausing for breath. “I was frightfully thrilled to meet him in real life,” she went on, “and I’m quite sure if I'd attended the opera with him as he suggested, anxiously about, and joined Pamela ’d have gone moon-mad.” She dropped into a chair beside her at ir. to engage in bromidic conversation fathe about the fine weather. Scarcely hearing him, speculating about the swift charm of the woman in sand, Pamela watched anxiously for Pa- tricia, She saw Mr. Braithwait’s tall form coming up the walk. His step was a little slow, his fine erectness drooped somewhat. Or so it seemed to the disturbed woman. She wel- comed him warmly; but was saved an uneasy explanation of Patricia’s absence by the sound of flying foot- steps. “Lunch over?” called Patricia ‘from the walk. “I mean, has the hotel lunched without me?” The fashionably garbed clothes- rack beside Pamela unfolded like the snapping open of a jack-knife; the long mournful countenance of Harvey Blaine beamed. “Give an account of your absence, young lady.” Accepting the chair 3laine offered him, Mr. Braithwait’s gentle eyes regarded Patricia with mock sternnet A proud m: determined, even “Good Heavens, Pat!” exclaimed Pamela, “I believe you have gone sun mad. Are you making all this up, or have you seen a movie?” “Neither. Or maybe both. The ocean and sky and every palm and twig were moving. Even the sun- light danced. Maybe I filled all the rest in to complete the picture, We cooked our lunch over coals in the sands, threw our plates and table linen into a palmetto. jungle, took off our shoes and stockings, and he rolled up his trousers, instead of bis sleeves, and we washed the Pauae utensils.* es, quite mad,” murmured Pamela. Thinking: “What a gallant little thing! Or has she brushed ithe whole matter aside?” To the old man, studying the rel- ative loveliness of his pastel-tinted child and the rich beauty of his kinswoman, it appeared that the one was a pale lily, the other a crimson rose, each quite perfect in her s0 different fashion. fa little ruthless you would say at! ©1953, b7 Soho ni ~)
