Dyspepsia would no longer be the
national disease in America if the peo-
pie of this country would adopt plain
diet similar to that of Norway and
Sweden. Govt is unknown among
Swedes and Norwegians, and the rosy
cheeks and clear comple2ions Of the
young people of those countries are
the result of the simple food the chill
dren eat" the United States consul at
Bergen, Norway, says. "Hot rolls and
white bread are rarely seen in Sweden.
Knackbrode or hard bread is the stand
ard article of food. 1t is made of
ground oats and rye. There is no yeast
in the bread. and it is rolled into thin
waters, which are baked and hung up
where they will keep perfectly dry.
Swedes eat this bread and drink milk
for two meals day and have one meal
at which they eat meat and potatoes.
Sweets are almost unknown. Children
are allowed to eat candy only on state
occasions"

CITY OFFICIAL PAPER.
FRIDAY, AUGUST %, 1902.
NOT IN SLEEPY HOLLOW.

1.-THE Bee is on it's high morse
again." was a remark called forth by
the structures of this paper against
the maladministration of the city gov
eminent in last Tuesdays issue.
Call it a hobby if you will, but this
newspaper conceives that 1t owes a
duty to the public in exposing the
wrong as it appears. Some subjects
call for drastic, plain spoken treat
ment and may sometimes jar the
nerves of the none too friendly oppo-
nents of the Bee in business and
politics. Perhaps the endeavor
should be to steer clear of any radical
movement, but the Bee is not built
that way, if it were, the paper would
probably number more friends, but
OF what use would that be ii they
fear to extend you more than smile.
Perhaps the persistency with which
this paper has advocated various
measures of political economy has
not brought many additional friends
from the ranks of the business men
rather some have endeavored to influ
ence future utterances by withdraw
ing their patronage. They are the
losers in this regard, however, as nc
advertisement runs in this paper as d
charity investment. 1t may be that

The Short Stem between.

81 was on an ocean liner when she
ran on the rocks off the English coast
some years ago." said a Philadelphia
travelling man, "and in the panic that
ensued there is one incident that stands
out in my memory, illustrating the
slender thread between the tragic and
the ridiculous. We had a fellow on
board who had managed to keep pretty
well loaded all the way across, and
when we struck the rocks he was in
his usual condition. When everybody
thought for sure we were going to the
bottom, he sat down at the piano in
the saloon, and what do you suppose he
began playing? Home, Sweet Home
Somebody went to him and begged him
to stop. Immediately he switched off
from the doleful strains of the old song
to the rolliclling melody of Down
Went McGinty.' The absurdity of the
thing seemed to strike everybody at
once and a general laugh followed.
The tension was relieved, and there
was good order after that" Philadel-
phia Record.

A DESERT IN AN OASIS.

communication printed elsewhere
deplores the utter absence of a park
or pleasure ground in Kalispell, and
suggests a movement toward setting
apart some tract centrally located be-
fore property becomes any more yalu-
able. 1t will cost some thousands of
dollars no doubt, to acquire a block
in desirable location for a public
park; but it will cost more next year
and the next. Great Falls inaugur-
ated such a movement last year,
which was promoted by Senator Glib,
son, and has appropriated by pur.
chase and gift several desirable
blocks for parks. Spokane, although
owning several beautiful pleasure
grounds in the heart of the city,
wants more and more and the Chron
1cle in late issue remarks:
Have you noticed how the chill
dren-and some of the old folks
too-like to gather on the prett,
lawns of the city school buildings OF
these summer afternoons and even
1ngs? These lawns are proving DOB
ular gathering places. They are in
wiling to any one passing by, bring
ing the desire to linger a while an,
lounge on the green grass under tn
shade trees.
To the people who do not live il
the sections of the city that are fay
ored with an attractive park tn
lawns of the school buildings are
pleasure. 1t is a good idea, but tn
lot around the school buildings is no
large enough. It takes away SOM
OF the pleasure to have a number O
people seeking cool retreat in S,
small place
The need is for more parks, wher
more ground than one block can b.
The Kalispell bee. [volume] (Kalispell, Mont.) 1900-192?, 1902-08-22

had for recreation. The fact that
the people go to the lawns around the
school buildings rather than stay in
the close atmosphere of the houses
that are not surrounded by lawns or
spacious grounds is strong argu-
ment that more parks are needed in
be located if possible where they
can be conveniently and quickly
reached by all the people.
mo worthier act can be done by
any citizen of Spokane than to help
to secure land for city parks. Each
year that passes without something
being done in this direction is delay
ing a good work. 1t takes time for
a plat of ground to be made pretty and
inviting; now is the time to begin
to improve the land for more city
parks, so that they may soon be
delightful pleasure ground"
Here, in Kalispell, the people are
even deprived of the privilege of u.s.
ing the one grass covered school
house yard, from custom or regula-
ton, no one having the temerity to
trespass upon the beautiful lawn sur
rounding the city high school, for
fear of spelling it's looks. But this
town is growing rapidly as the sea-
sons pass, and there is nothing of
definite movement toward securing
land for one or two parks, where all
may enjoy them. The niggardly poll
cy of the townsite company in not
foreseeing and granting to the city
lands centrally located for such pur-
quel. The thing TODD now is to agitate
the subjectand keep on agitating until
some move is made and carried to
completion. Perhaps the best avail
able selection is now on the west
side, near Spring Greek. The prop
erty cannot be held so very high in
that locality, where there are several
acres untenanted. The place would
be easy of access, only four or five
blocks from the post Office; the creek
could be diverted and carried through
the grounds, adding a most important
factor to landscape gardening.
An object lesson is to be CLEANED
from conditions in Spokane, which de-
spite limited number of parks calls
for more and more yet. In few years
Kalispell people may live in an en-
viTonment no less unlovely than
Butte if something is not done The
only difference will be that nothing
like grass will grow in Butte, and
Kalispell will have no place to put it.

The Human Heart.

The heart of man is book-nay, it
is an Encyclopedia of everything that
has ever come within the range of it's
personal experience. 1t preserves an
eternal record of all the stories in
which it has played part 1t is
strange what sad things may be hidden
in it's depth without giving any token
of their existence. The heart may be
gay and may send the smile mantling
to the face, but all the while you see
only the topmost stratum. If the graves
beneath were to give up their dead, the
smiles would seem strangely out of
place.

monuments to prove beyond doubt

DOMINATED BY WOMEN.
a Welsh Town Where the Feminine
Sex Reigns Supreme.


Away in a sequestered little nook on
she Pembrokeshire coast there is-a vii
lage entirely managed by women. In
Langum-for such is the hamlet's name
woman reigns supreme. She is the
dominating force of the mart of trade.
the household financier, the family ac-
countant, and, in fact fills all the DO
sitions which in any other community,
whether civilized or not, are by estab-
lished precedent voted to man.
Langum has a race apart from the
world in its laws in its exclusion of the
stranger and in its utter disregard of
the vast area of world and things lying
beyond it's borders. Its quiet life is
dominated by two all powerful factors
-womankind and oysters. There are
men in LanGum, but they exert little
or no influence upon the affairs of the
quiet little Welsh village.
The Langum man neither is nor pre-
tends to be. He recognizes the right of
womankind to own and rule and is per,
fectly satisfied to be described as An
ME Jones' man or Mary Williams man.
He neither requires nor appreciates
compassion. Sitting of an evening at
his cottage door, with his faithful
brood playing around him, his wife
and daughter busy within reckoning
the gains of the days work, he is vexed
by no mental anxieties or perplexities
Divested of all responsibilities Of life
he is as pleased as the oyster for which
his native place is famed.-London An.
