In Terms of the Past, Today Is a Failure One of the strangest things about modern America is the fondness everybody seems to have developed for looking back at the past. You get samples of this every- where. It ranges all the way from the collection of antiques to the de- eire to look at photographs of the pre- Spanish War era, In one city there was held recently ® grand reunion of people who had been public schoolmates half a cen- tury ago. Thousands of them turned out for an elaborate picnic and sat about talking over old times. And they seemed to be just about unani- mous in the belief that “people had more fun” in the old days, They talked about sleigh rides in the winters, about oyster stew sup- Pers at farm homes, about children ‘who bummed free rides on horse cars, ‘about spelling bees and Sunday school Picnics and the other diversions of the youth of 50 years ago. They felt rather sorry for their children and grandchildren, who have ‘to grow up in the modern world and miss all those little pleasures that ‘used to be. Now this attitude, to repeat, is an extremely common one nowadays; and it testifies, not so much to an idyllic quality in American life in the past as to a deep and fundamen- tal dissatisfaction with the American life of today. ‘We wouldn't keep looking back over our shoulders so much if we found the life about us all that it ought to be. It is the comparison that makes the past look so attractive. Somehow the present hasn't lived up to our expectations; and this is * mot solely the fault of the depression, because we had very bad depressions in those good old days. To understand it, you have to look ‘at the whole development of Ameri- can life in this century; the nation’s emergence as a world power, the spectacular growth of great cities and Great industries, the arrival of the futomobile age, and the World War. All these things held out great Promise; and in no case has the real- ity been quite as nice as what we had expected. Life has grown more event- ful, perhaps, but hardly richer. © Somehow we must readjust our so- ciety so that greater emphasis will be put on purely human values. We shall be a lot happier when we no longer feel the urge to look wistfully ‘back at the day before yesterday. The Same Ending No more humanly revealing story thas come over the cables in many months than the one telling how Bertrand Russell, English mathema- tician and philosopher, has been sued for divorce, on the ground of infidel- fity, by Dora Russell. Here were the people who, perhaps more than anyone else, impressed on the modern generation the necessity for a sophisticated and “enlightened” ‘attitude toward love and marriage. "They made speeches and wrote maga- zine articles about it; Mrs. Russell declared bravely, “I would not insist ‘upon absolute faithfulness after mar- riage.” ‘Well, it was all clear-sighted and {ntelligent, no doubt; but the mar- riage seems to be ending precisely as thousands of others have ended, for fall these fine words. And the whole business is an en- Ughtening commentary on the way in which human emotions refuse to be. bound by the slogans of modern sophistication.

D., June 5.—()}—For many years a prominent figure in ranching and banking circles in southwestern North Dakota, Michael Cuskelly ts dead at the age of 78. He died Sunday at the home of his daughter, Miss Ella Cuskelly of Dickinson. Funeral services were held Tuesday from St. Patrick’s Catholic church here. Cuskelly came to Bismarck in 1861 from Wisconsin where he was born. In 1882 he went to Dickinson, where he engaged in a general merchandise business. He was appointed postmas- ter in 1885. He went to Oakdale near Killdeer a few years later, operating a rancn with his brother, James. Later he opened a general store at Oakdale and then, with Aaron Currie, organ- ized the Northwestern National Bank there. When the town of Kildeer was organized, the bank was moved to that community. Cuskelly returned to Dickinson in 1924. He was then suffering from heart disease and this, with complica- tions incident to old age, caused his death. He leaves his daughter Ella, a son, Edward of Oakdale, and a sister, Mrs, Ann Harty of Ellendale, Minn. | Additional Society Rev. Arthur J.

Whatever the Teason, I beg to complain that read- ers are not sending me sarcastic comments. Maybe my own sarcasti- cator hasn’t been working as well lately as it formerly did. I do hope that isn't so. I don't want to tura mellow quite so young. With your kind consent I shall laconicize about cramp, colic and bellyache, because this is a painful subject and one we all wish to be done with as soon as possible. Please bear in mind I am not sarcasti- cating today. However, if you have a good bit of sarcasm I’m always de- lighted to receive it. First we had better dispose of “cholera moxbus.” Remember? That bugaboo was more effective than & barbwire fence in protecting the farmer's apples in their defenseless immaturity when we were kids. And too bad, for of course there is no such malady. The very worst a youngster can suffer from eating green apples is an upset stomach if he eats too many or too hurriedly; but never cramps, colic or any serious illness. I suppose this won't matter much to kids todry. But I wish there had been an Ol’ Doc Brady to give a fella a break when I was a kid. Yeah, and many a swim I missed because, darn it, I was afraid I'd get cramps if I went in too soon after din- ner or when I was all Leated up: If any boy or girl who reads this likes to go swimming, I solemnly asseverate here in plain unmistakable languag>? —and I challenge any physician or other competent person to debate the ouestion with me—that it is perfectly healthful and safe to go in swimming immediately after any meal if you wigh, and it is perfectly healthful tr plunge in or to ease yourself in by Gradually dipping deeper if you like, when you are all heated up either from the weather or from your own exertion. This does not imply that one should enter an endurance con- test or a long hard swim right after a heavy meal or when one is already tired and blown. But we're talking about just going in swimming. Of course we can’t say whether the par- ticular place a boy or girl may go swimming is sanitary, whether the water is unpolluted. But assuming the water is pure and that persons with communicable disease do not patronize the place, what I have said is sound and right. I'll give a $2 book or a subscription to a magazine to the 50. boy or girl who sends the first signed statement from any doctor of stand- ing who takes issue with me on this advice. Obscure allusions to rheumatism are barred, unless an unequivocal defini- tion of rheumatism is included, so that. we may know what we're talking about. Every little while we see funny items in the papers about people be- ing stricken with ptomaine po! That’s just the old hokum bunkem in every instance. If you follow up the case you will find presently that the hoss doctor who made the guess has faded out of the picture and a real doctor has found out what actually is the matter. Ptomaine poisoning simply can’t happen. Whenever you hear of a case you may bet your hat it is a spurious diagnosis, because there is no such thing as “ptomaine Poisoning” except in the imagination of the incompetent physician. Of all varieties of bellyache the kind that inspires my sarcasm is infantile colic. This is important. I'm afraid I am not feeling mean enouc’: to do it justice today. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Soda Please send me a list of foods con- taining soda. (J. 8.) Answer—Beans and peas to which a cook has added some so they'll seem more tender. I know of no foods thes naturally contain soda. If you mean the element sodium, life is too short to bother about that. There is more or less sodium in every item of food you can eat, except unimportant chemically processed items such as sugar and ont syphilis Can syphillis be contracted via dishes, food, towels, etc.... 2? (0. N. YX) Answer—Possibly but not probably. However, syphilis in the primary or secondary stages may be contracted thru ordinary personal contact, or by’ kissing or thru the common use of Persona: toilet articles. Send a stamp- ed envelope bearing your address and ask for monograph on syphilis. Nonsense Mother is 73. She has high blood pressure, which is said to be the cause of lack of co-ordination in one hand. Is this due to faulty diet—too much Protéin. .. (L. W. F.) Answer—Certainly not. Give your mother the benefit of medical atten- tion. Too much meat has nothing whatever to do with high blood pres- sure or arterial disease. (Copyright 1934, John F, Dille Co.)

NO HARD FEELINGS Somewhere in the courtroom there may be hard feelings, but there are none between J. E. Davis, president of the Dakota National Bank and Trust Co., and George Thorp, defense coun- sel. Monday, when Davis had finished testifying regarding Bank of North Dakota checks received at his bank for Langer’s acount, he stepped from the witness stand to be halted by an outstretched hand of Thorp. Thorp's arm encircled Davis’ shoulder, there was much whispered chuckling and the two parted when Thorp slapped Davis heartily on the back.
