The Right Attitude Reiteration by Thomas Moodie, Democratic candidate for governor, | that reason, not rancor, will be the basis of his campaign, should have) the support of all North Dakota citi-/| zens, If we are to solve our political | troubles we need a calm appraisal of | the condition in which we find our- selves and the probable results of whatever course we may choose. In-| asmuch as his attitude will help to bring about such an attitude of mind, | Moodie deserves the praise of every- one. That this attitude may be misin- terpreted as weakness is a risk which Moodie must run, for recent events in North Dakota have not been con- ducive to calm reasoning and our im- mediate political history shows that] the calling of names is an accom-| plishment which can be made to win | ~ Votes. He must, too, run the risk that his opponents will not take so high- minded and statesmanlike an atti- tude. Refusing to throw mud himself, he may become the target for attempts at character assassination. If, however, the people keep in} mind the fact that principles as well @s personalities are involved, the ef- fect may be more harmful to those who descend to such tactics than to their opponents. Under the stress of present condi- tions, North Dakota needs both eco- nomic and political relief. In the) popular mind one may be synono- | mous with the other, but this is not necessarily true. Good prices for a good crop will take care of the eco- nomic situation as no activity of any) government could possibly do. But that sound and constructive political administration can aid in the restoration of economic condi- tions is also true. The relationship of government to agriculture and business now is so direct and exists in so many ways that, while govern- ment finds it difficult to create pros-j| perity, it certainly can saddle it with @ tremendous handicap. Now, while the air is relatively | clear of fur and feathers, is the time assumption that the more elaborate @ thing is the more efficient it is likely to be. This discovery empha- sizes that complexity is not, neces- sarily, a virtue. In a good many ways the simple and obvious things still are best, Not a New Thing North Dakota farmers who lament the necessity of turning to thistles for feed this winter need not regard it as anytifing new. In times of 7.20| “test stress these weeds have often come in handy, perhaps to prove anew that it is an ill wind which blows nobody good. 6.00 As long ago as 1919, according to J. G. Haney, agricultural expert for the International Harvester company, one Ole Olson, living near Beach, was hard pressed for feed. He had some corn and some sunflowers and a lot of thistles. So he put corn in the bottom of his trench silo, put thistles on top of that, packed in the sun- flowers next and topped it off with more corn. Truly a melange to test the appetite of any critter. But Mr. Olson got away with it. The corn went fine, but when it came to feeding the sunflowers the miik production slowed up a@ little until the cows got used to it. When they reached the thistle the cows kept right on eating and the milk flow | Was unchecked. They did as well on it as on the corn. Haney relates that it was some- | thing new then and he carried a sam- ple of the thistle silage with him and showed it to many farmers that win- | ter. All of which shows the adaptability of agriculture and the agriculturist to changing conditions. Thousands of tons of “thistle hay” are being put up right now. Next winter many a city man will eat “thistle butter” and never know the difference.

Recovery on the Installment Plan (New York Herald-Tribune) The national housing campaign, which Mr. Moffett and Mr. Richberg now announce themselves prepared to launch, is in some respects one of the most interesting of the New Deal's many inventions. Mr. Moffett quite frankly describes it as primar- ily a “sales promotion” effort; and reduced to its fundamentals it is, in fact, simply an attempt to sell the American péople $1,000,000,000 worth of housing repairs and renovations on the installment plan. This is a striking—although, one must grant, a characteristically Amer- ican—remedy for what began to ap- pear last spring as one of the more ominous weaknesses in Rooseveltian recovery. It was observed at that time that the considerable measure of improvement in the so-called “consumption” industries did not re- flect itself in the “durable goods” industries; the great PWA expendi- | tures, though they helped, failed to revive great areas of heavy industry, and the theory developed that the one loose cog in the machinery was here. If the durable goods industries could be restarted, the hoped-for “balance” would have been achieved and all would be well; and housing still seemed to offer the best lever | for restarting the durable goods in- dustry. It was administratively difficult, however, to pour government funds jinto private house repairs, even if the budget could stand the strain. |The solution was the installment for North Dakota to analyze its po-| litical situation, make up its mind as | to what it does and does not want. | The one: issue which should deter- | mine the public reaction is which | course will be of most benefit to the | individual voter, that of electing} Moodie or that of electing his oppo- | nent. The place for this study is in the individual homes of the state, not | in the meetings which are whipped up to a frenzy by demagogic speakers. | Lurid talk may win votes but it will solve none of our problems. The only thing which will do that! is careful appraisal of the facts and the application of common sense. The Value of Simplicity Offer the average man needing a headlight a reflector equipped with prismatic glass and one with plain glass and he probably would take the former—and thereby get fooled, ac-| cording to a recent discovery of the, bureau of aeronautics in the depart- ment of commerce. This discovery, by the way, will] make the new airway now being| lighted through the northwest one of the best-lighted and most inexpensive in the world. The story goes back to the adop- tion by the bureau of 24-inch beacons with prismatic cover glasses, which were equipped with 1,000-watt bulbs and produced 1,600,000 candlepower. They were the last word when they were adopted. But the need for econ- omy forced a change to 500-watt lamps and the beacons developed only 750,000 candlepower, thereby reducing the efficiency. Scientists were put to work’ to see what they could do about it. Finally, one of them thought of using plain glass with a new type of reflector and was surprised to find Plan—the device which had financed so important a part of the boom era consumption and which had stood up so surprisingly well under the strains of the depression. Though house repairs are made by the dur- able goods industries, they are ac- tually a form of consumption, and though the housing act does not pro- vide in terms for the installment selling of paint jobs or new plumb- ing, its provisions really come to. much the same thing in the end. The citizen is invited to borrow up to $2,000 at his bank for house reno- | ation. The bank is induced to lend it to him by the government's guar- anty that it will cover losses on such loans up to 20 per cent of their total amount. Studies of banking experi- ence with unsecured personal loans indicate that losses on an average should not run to more than 20 per cent; and since the government is authorized to accept lability up to $200,000,000, as much as $1,000,000,000 in all can be loaned on this basis. But to get that amount circulating to the building industry, it is obvious that Mr. Moffett’s selling campaign must succeed on two fronts. He must “sell” the idea to the bankers that the guaranty is adequate to cover the risk And he must find at least half a million responsible house-owners of good character and credit standing and then “sell” them the idea of re- Pairing their houses. It seems likely that many interest- ing lessons as to the nature of our economic problem may be learned from the success or failure of this campaign. Do the customers exist? Is it possible to “finance” the con- sumer in this way out of the de- pression, or is he failing to consume now because prices are too high for him to afford it, even on a time- ness in the durable goods industri justments, -which can only be over- come by cost and price read, far more drastic than anything con- ‘templated by the New Deal?

A DENTOR WHO LIKES OL’ DOC BRADY I feel a good deal like the boy who reported to his mother that there w a million cats fighting in the back yard, When mother came a-runaing| they decided that anyway it was our| cat and another cat. Long years ago the dentists rather liked my teachings. They hadn't learned that I don’t believe it is worth while brushing one’s teeth. Nor had I thought up that detestable scheme of having the dentists relin- quish the trade use of the title of “doctor” to practicing physicians ex- clusively. Nor had I started calling dentists “Dentor” instead of “Doc- tor.” Today I have two dentists who are still my friends. One is my own Gentist—he has base designs on a denture that has served me well for 30 years, but aside from that I think he is a swell dentist and if anybody ever does take a crack at this pet denture of mine it will be he. The other is a middlewest reader who writes: “I would greatly appreciate any information you can give me in Tegard to complications (if any?) caused by the ‘teething’ in infants with special reference to the formation of pus in the ears. “I have been a reader of your column for years and think it is about the last word in medical and dental questions. “(N. D. C., D. D. 8.)” In my opinion “teething” in infants is never the cause of any illness. When the baby. is cutting a tooth he of dentistry from medicine is ana- chronistic, both the separate schools |and the aloofness between the physi- cians and dentists in practice. Prop- jerly, of course, dentistry is a special branch of medicine, and no one should be permitted to practice den- tistry until he has co:pleted a course in a medical school and obtained the degree of M. D., after which he should pursue such technical study as may be necessary to fit him for his spec- jalty. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Exterminating Ants I make a strong solution of creolin and water, spray floor and squirt with &@ syringe into cracks or holes about walls, floors or shelving, and find that such treatment once a week keeps ants out of our house. (Mrs. G. W.) Answer—Some people dislike the odor of creolin perhaps because it is so much used about dog kennels. Methods for expelling ants from buildings or from the lawn are given in the booklet “Unbidden Guests,” a copy of which sets you back 10 cents (coin) and stamped addressed en- velope. Easy to Lose Some time ago you told about a method by which a person could lose 10 pounds in a few weeks ... (Mrs. HLA. P.) Anfiwer—Yes, but since that I have found ® better way—I don’t mean I discovered it—and now from personal experience I know it is easy to lose 10 of 20 or 30 pounds and I haven't much sympathy for overweight people who complain they can’t reduce.

Most well nourished babies cut all their teeth without the slightest dis- turbance. A few show a little fret. fulness and increased salivation while the new tooth is piercing the gum. Attacks of indigestion, vomiting or diarrhea attributed to “teething” are invariably due to other causes, espe- cially overfeeding or lack of refrigera- tion to keep the milk fresh in very hot weather. Devices purporting to make teeth- ing easy are a delusion. The right care of the baby during teething consists of seeing that the baby has the proper feeding, keeping the mouth clean with a solution of boric acid, perhaps letting the baby have pieces of ice to suck when the gum is swollen or red. There is noth- ing about the physiological process of cutting a tooth that prevents the baby from having any il] that young flesh is heir to. So give the child a break if he becomes ill in any way teething. Call your doctor in. I should like to hear again from Dentor N. D. C., and from other den- tists who do not hate me. I am anx- ious to know whether dentists agree with me that the present separation FLAPPER FANNY SAYS: dress. Give your age, height and monograph on reduction.
