He said of this idea that it was “the first declaration of language from s president of the United States in his message to congress that molds the three functions of government into one common purpose” and “that’s the finest repeal of the constitution I ever heard.” The remark was made on the im- pulse of the moment and without due consideration, but even so it attaches to McNary a label which he may find it hard to live down. ‘The reader may infer that Senator McNary does not regard this view of the three branches of government as sound, but when he does so he is er die, despite the fact that he had been ill a long time.

They are published without regard to whether they agree or disagree with The Tribune's policies, North Dakota Plan (Des Moines Tribune) In several respects the North Da- xota plan for “economic self-suffict- ency” that has been put up to public ‘vorks officials in Washington ts an outstanding project even amid a snultitude of outstanding projects. In the first place, it indicates that North Dakota, if no other state, ts getting back to normalcy. When A. C Townley marches to Washington with a scheme of state-owned eleva- tors, mills, factories, and what not to convert the state’s raw materials into finished materials on the spot, it is nothing short of good old Nonpartisan Ueague days back again. In the second place, provided past experience in North Dakota with state owned plants for handling grain and other crops provides any gauge, it ts fair to assume that if the public works administration is looking for a real rat hole, here is one enough to take care of all the funds it has left plus all that congress can appropriate for the next ten years. And, finally, this refurbished and modestly expanded Townley scheme offers the whole nation a chance to look at the self-sufficiency idea ina more understandable perspective. Already the Townley scheme has ' | been identified us of that character. <All it needs is to be carried a bit far- ther, so as to be really and truly log- ical, centering all the manufacturing North Dakota's products within her wn borders, putting up barriers to competitive products from outside, and establishing ownership and mai agement of the new industries in the state itself. Then we shall have real self-suffi- Clency ready to do its stuff, with a ‘touch of state socialism neatly thrown in. irate of us who are so hellbent on Sel 48 @ whole ought not to have any ob- iections to one of our states trying out its blessings individually. If the that is a typical prevarication. Any one with enough brains to con- sult any authoritative textbook of physiology, Howell's, for instance, will find that the le quoted is just a modern American custom. “In the large intestine protein putrefaction is a constant and normal occurrence.” So says Howell's “Text- book . of Physiology,” published by Saunders, and available in any public \ brary. So it comes to a clear issue.

There are many products of protein putrefaction in the intestine —peptones, proteoses, ammonia, amino-acids, indol, phenol, skatol, phenylacetic acid, fatty acids, carbon dioxide (carbonic acid gas,) hydrogen, marsh gas, hydrogen sulphid—none of |which are poisonous, even if adminis- \tered in considerable doses. \""At one time a rough and ready test for indican in the urine served as an index of “autointoxication” from 'putrefaction in the intestine or from and distributive processes affecting | putrefaction in body tissues involved of unpaid overtime work, after lin such conditions as empyema, put- |rid bronchitis or bronchiectasis, or abscess formation anywhere. But we know now that indican is normally present in the urine and has no par- tieular significance. ‘The truth is that one need never worry about autointoxication until one is too gravely ill to care. And that’s no Hibernicism either. What I mean is that, so far as our present knowl- ufficinecy for the United States /edge goes, actual absorption of po'son- ous matter into the system from the intestine happens only in grave acute intestinal obstruction, when the pa- PERSONAL HEALTH SERVICE By William Brady, M.

SYNOPSIS: The severest blow of Curt Tennyson's life comes when ke dicovers that Sonya Volkov, achom he has eaved from death in the Canadian wilderness at the hands of the dangerous Klosohee Indians, was secretly trying to reach Igor Karakhan, For Curt ts tracking down Karakhan, who is a millionaire, and @ crook, Sonya just hae met ’Teeste Le Novr, Kar- akhan’a, contact man. and persuad- ed him to carry a letter to hia chief. Chapter 31 SONYA’S LETTER FEW final instructions from Sonya and grunts of assent from LeNoir and their brief meeting ended. Sonya refloated her canoe and crossed to camp. Le Noir walked back through the willows to ‘his own craft and vanished toward the mainland shore. Atter they had gone, Cart got up, shaky and cold, with that terrible coldness which had come over him when he first heard Paul's report. As he stared at the dark channel which had swallowed her canoe, all his previous questions about her trip, all the puzzling aspects of it which had so baffled him, became brutally clear. In Victoria she had known Kara- FORBIDDEN VALLEY William Byron Mowery People who are the objects of cutting remarks don’t always get the point. fowed your trail, but ! knew you were acquainted ‘with Jim Gunnar, who {s dead now and his lips sealed; and he told me, guardedly, that you rere hiding somewhere in the Lile wars.

I have arranged to meet him and he will bring me to sou.... When Paul lay down in his tent that night, he intended to go back out and join his partner as soon as Curt returned from the willow is land, But two days and nights of guarding the camp all alone had tired him more than he realized, and he dropped off to sleep in spite of himself. It was long after sunrise the next morning when he woke up. He stepped outside the tent and looked around. On the other side of the boulders Francois and Jocku sat of by themselves, smoking stolidly. Sonya had breakfast almost ready, and Ralph was trying to help her, ‘HE camp scene was peaceful and ordinary, as on a dozen other mornings, with no suggestion of treachery abroad; but its peaceful- khan, had been attracted by his ness’ was ghastly to Paul, koowing as he did that one member of the party was on her way to join Kara: khan and last night had connived with the vicious Le Noir, who had tried three times to kill Curt and himself. Curt was not about. His cance also was gone. Somewhat alarmed, Paul took the binoculars and swept the lake. Ona pine island near the Iskitimwah mouth he saw Curt’s ca- oe upturned on the landwash. He understood. Sonya came over to the tent, bare- headed inthe slant morning sun. Her eyes showed signs of sleepless ness, but in ber gaze Paul saw no trace of guilt or shame, only a com- radely friendship as she smiled good morning. “Paul, where's Curt?” Paul steeled himself against her witchery. She seemed too splendid a girl to write that letter to Kara- khan and to betray men who had been her loyal friends, but he knew what he knew. “He'll be back after a while, I sup- Dose.” Sonya’s eyes opened wider at his | Sharp tone. “Did you sleep well last night, wh 16 Embryo flower. 18To fish.

And after his disappearance she had started searching for him, to be with him again. Somehow she had found out in a general way where he was hiding and had persuaded Ralph to come north with her. The pretense of the scientific work, her passionate deter. mination in the face of every dan- Ber, her secrecy, defended so tight- ly—all that was clear enough to him now. He understood, too, why she had staved him off; it was a friend's ‘ct, to save him pain. Stumbling through the brush to the island tip, he swam back across the channel, took off ais clothes and wrung them out and dressec again. He fumbled in his pocket and got out Paul’s copy of Sonya’s letter He still dreaded to read it, but now Paul?” she asked casually, Pau! smiled grimly to himself. It was an innocent-seeming question, as clever as a well-set ptarmigan snare, “T elept very well,” he answered her, as pokerfaced as sha “One does, after two nights awake.” “Won't you come and have break fast?” she invited. His onfriendlt ness hurt her, and she tried to be nice to him, “Thanks,” Paul refused. He felt that he could eat no breakfast that she tad prepared. Not after what she had done to his partner. “When T want breakfast, I'll get it.” “Why Paul!” she exclaimed, eur. prised and wounded at his rebuff, “What's the matter?” Paul took a pleasure in turning on his heel and walking away She de {principle will make the Untied States jricher, and give us more true wealth to distribute among our population so defeats.
