eaa It is safe for me to say that the
Bismarck Commercial club has closed
the most successful year in its his
tory. s& % hSEs s
More work has been attempted
than ever before and success has at
tended most of the things attempt
ed and the coming year will be en-
tered with spirit of hopefulness
for greater things to come.
Perhaps the biggest thing accom-
plished by the club is the great inn
provement in public spirit in the
city at large, not among the men on
ly but among the women too, as wit
ness the Civic Improvement League
with its splendid achievements to
date and with their broad plans for
| the future And this club of the Civic
League could accomplish nothing If
not backed up by public sentiment.
At the beginning of the year your
officers set out to obtain all the state

Washington, D. c., Dec. 9.-Secre-
tary Wilson of the department of ag-

ion in the bleached -four controversy,
holding that flour bleached with nj
trogen proxide is an adulterated pro-
duct under the law and that it can
not legally be sold in the District of
Columbia or in the territories or be
transported in interstate commerce.
Owing to the immense quantity of
bleached flour now on hand, the Sec

or the 100,000000 horses known to
exist in the world, 10000, 600 or four
fifths Of the entire number are found
in the temperate zone and nearly all
among the occidental people.
According to the National Geogra.
phical Magazine, the remaining 20,-
100000 scattered through the tropics
are largely employed In the service
of temperate zone visitors or resi-
dents and are but feeble representa-
tives of that animal as he is known
to the people Of Europe or America.
In the United States and Canada we
have horse for every 372 persons; in
South America, for every Z; in Mexi.
co, for every IL; in Japan, ] for
every 30; ! to 40 in Turkey, for 80 in
the Philippines, for about $50 In At
rica and 200 in India and Southern

The llama will carry from so to 200
pounds; man from rs to $50 pounds:
the donkey 100 to 200 pounds; an OK

SETTLEMENT OF STRIKE.

Yielding the demand for time limit
On over time work and accepting the
assurances of the company that over
time work will be made as little as is
possible union men who had been on q
strike at the Reiss Coal Co. docks here
and at Sheboygan returned to work
Monday morning The settlement of
the strike was reached Saturday after a
conference at Sheboygan of the Reiss
Coal Co officials with union represen-
tatives and the Reiss Co. agreed to pay
off non union laborers who We're at work,
Saturday night.
One point gained by the strikers is a
promise that no favoritism will be
shown by the Reiss Co. to any of the
men. 1t is said to have been the prac-
tice in the past that men who We're es-
pecially willing workers Were given the
preference by the company in selection
of men for extra work, thus earning con
siderable money'in addition to the reg.
ular wage. Under the new agreement
all of the men will be given equal op-
portunities and will take turns at the
extra work if they desire to do SO.
No agreement was signed by the com
pany and the men were asked to sign
no new papers. The wage scale had
been agreed to except for the overtime
clause and for the present the men ac.
cept the company's assurances without
signed contract, it is said. About one
hundred non union men left the docks
here and at Sheboygan Saturday night.
The Reiss Co. gave the union until
two o'clock Saturday afternoon to ac-
cept and was notified at that time that
the men would return TO the docks
Monday.

ADVOCATES ALlCENSE
FOR MILK DEALERS

State laws are inadequate to meet the
demands for pure milk supply and it
ia now up TO the municipality and its
health departments to complete the
work which the state has started. This
is the view Of E. L. Aderholt, deputy OF
the dairy and food department who, in
a lecture at Turner hall Tuesday night
urged the immediate adoption by this
city of license for milk vendors and the
giving of authority to the health depart
ment to revoke the license of dealers
who fail to obey the ordinance or prove
unfit, through ignorance or unclean-
illness, for the business. 1t is probable
that the suggestion will be taken up by
the council and an ordinance with these
provisions passed at an early date.
Much of the address of Mr.. Aderholt
was devoted to personal observations
which he has made as deputy OF the
state department., and he impressed up
on his audience the fact that the con-
ditions under which the milk supply is
produced and handled has great in
fluence upon the quality OF the milk and
urged throughout that farmers and pro
ducers employ every means to better
sanitation and cleanliness. Mr.. Ader-
holt exhibited drawings Of model stables
showing proper ventilating system and
other features of construction and
milk dealers and farmers present
eyinced an interest that is encourag
ing.
Little interest was manifested by the
public in the meeting and an audience
of less than 100 attended, but six or
eight of the number being women for
whose presence an urgent request had
been made by Health Officer Meany.
The lecture by Mr.. Aderholt was in
teresting as was evidenced by the at
tention given and the questions which
were raised after the talk. The speak,
or told of his personal experience as an in
spector of the department aud exhibited
TWO plates suoWlbS tHe Univ 'u"e H''"
been strained from milk which the in
spector had found offered for sale in
some city, the plates showing mass OF
stable dirt, and other refuse that was
revolving. Mr. Aderholt said that il
was impossible to produce clean milk
unless some attention be given to efforts
In this direction.
Milk dealers and many farmers who
reside near the city and supply local
dealers made up a good part of the au-
dience and this fact made up for the
non attendance of the general public,
the aim of the meeting being chiefly to
reach the dealers and producers. Mr..
Aderholt was introduced by Health
Officer Meany who spoke briefly upon
the importance to public health of a
pure milk supply and expressed his re-
gret that the public did not appreciate
the efforts of the council in its behalf.
The meeting lasted about one hour and
is believed to have had an influence
that will be apparent when the council

Hypnotism.

The actual foundation OF modern
hypnotic suggestion was discovered
by Lebault Of Nancy, the famous ia.
ther OF the therapeutic application Of
suggestion" After several years OF
practical experience, in 1866, Liebault
wrote his first book on the subject It
was shelved and he was called n
iunatic. Hypnotism remained a curl.
osity and Liebault's book was not re-
produced till six years after Charcot.
In 1878, began his study Of hypnotisrn.
In 1884 Bernheim wrote his work on
suggestion, and this created demand
for Liebault's book, which then gave
MIN his lasting reputation New
