The Booze Breath.

Bowels Tribune: The beauti-
full and refined gentlemen who
lubricates his words with whiskey
is a nuisance to his friends. If he
isn't a nuisance in one way he is
in another. He may be able to
walk straight and preserve his
dignity and talk as though nothing
has happened, but his dis6gured
breath gives him away and makes
his presence a thing to be deplored.
There is no mistaking the old
booze breath. The man who car.
ries it around may try to disguise
it, and kalsomine it and enbalm it,
but it rises superior to lemon peel
and cloves and all the other po.
pular adulterants and brings to
the man who has the smell of II
sad memories of a Chinese funeral
or a last years hens nest that has
not been properly fumigated. If
for no other reason than this
matter of a breath that does not
comply with the pure food law, it
is good plan to cut out the old
booze, and drink buttermilk. Of
formaldehyde, or something whole
some. Every day in the year
some man who wants a job, and
needs it the worst way, is turned
down because his breath suggests
the Hungarian Fourth of July.
Is such q breath worth what it
costs?.

Cows as Good as Gold.

With the prices for butterfat at
local creameries in the state rang
ing from twenty-five to thirty
cents per pound, dairying should
appeal to those, who have fresh
milk COWS says r. F. Flint, dairy
commissioner of Bismarck. From
now until harvest comes again the
average grain farmer has but little
that he can turn into ready cash
excepting the reserve bin of wheat.
Where few COWS are MIXED
during the winter months and
butter made on the farm and sold
to private customers, or the cream
sold to a creamery, the farmer is
able to pay his grocery bill as he
goes along, and if enough COWS
are kept to pay for winter clothing
and have something left to meet
the inevitable mid-winter taxes.
On the other hand where live
stock are kept, but there is no
fresh COWS to milk, it is largely a
matter Of seeing the hay stack
diminish and the refuse pile on
the opposite side of the stable in
crease. The latter blessing that
is not appreciated by the North
Dakota farmer as much now as it
should be, or is likely to be in the
future.
To be pro6tably employed
throughout the year should be the
amoition of every farmer in our
state, and this can be- arranged by
keeping dairy COWS and having
them freshen in the fall.

The Wave Tells This Burning Tale.
A mysterious fire occurred last
Sunday afternoon in which Halver
Olson's barn was consumed by the
flames. Some rascal came to the
barn and deliberately set the barn
on fire and Immediately made his
escape. The land was rented out
the past year SO no stock or hay
burned.
Within half an hour, evidently
the same party drove to August
Prenke's place and started fire
here near the barn. Fearing The
building would not be demolished
by the fire they started q prairie
FIRE in three different places. AZ
soon as the FIRE was discovered q
number Of neighbors rushed Ia
| put it out, but on account Of the
stiff breeze which was blowing the
fire got we'll under way and tore
over the prairie at q great rate
The FIRE was stopped after burn.

A NEW OFFICIAL
PRIMARYBAIIOT
May Be Made Before Lony-The Fol
lowing One is Suggested by
Secretary BhiSdelf

lowing Une Is SuSSeSteo py
Secretary Bhisdelf
Bismarck, N. D., Nov. 23.-The
following letter regarding the
placing Of the names of senatorial
candidates on the official primary
ballot next spring, by Alfred
Blaisdell, secretary of state, to
Representative Mark M. Chatfeld,
of Minot, will prove of great in
terest to many people of the state
and gives an interesting idea of
the situation.
Bismarck, N. D., Nov. e.-Hon
M. M. Chatfield: I have not as
yet looked into the matter of plac-
ing the U. S. senatorial candidates
official primary ballot next spring
as fully as I intend to, but I call
your attention briefly to the fol-
lowing suggestions which have
presented themselves to me thus
far:
Candidates for United States
senate may sec fit to file their
petitions for long (six year term
and for short -four Year, term,
or may file their petitions with
out stating anything at all about
a ''long" or "short'' term. You
see it will be manifestly impossi-
ble to accept all of these three diff
ferent kinds of petitions and make
room for them on the official bal
lot. The result will probably be
that the supreme court will be
called upon to pass upon it in the
last instance. Although I feel
sure that the supreme court will
not interfere with the secretary's
method, SO long as the spirit Of
primary election law is not hamp-
cred or hindered in a material way.
The action of the secretary is
purely a ministerial one, and any
action he takes must of course not
hinder in any way the popular ex-
preston in their choice for United
States senator. It would seem
"offhand" that no matter what
method the secretary uses, the
voters are bound to eventually
select two candidates whose names
will. he presented before the next
Legislature. It is abvious that
the Legislature when it meets would
give the long term to the popular
candidate who had the highest
vote and the short term to the
candidate who had the next high
vote, provided the Legislature
really desires to follow the desires
Of the voters as expressed in the
highest and next high candi-.
dates.
| have stated the foregoing for
the reason of showing that no
matter what action the secretary
takes. I believe the Legislature
will have full and ample oppor-
tunity Of determining from the po-
pular primary vote who the long
term candidate should be.
! hereby give roughly 9 plan Of
the separate group PLAN

LUMBER TRUST
CHARGE STARTS
ROW IN CONGRESS
Looked Like a Boxing Match
Between Fordney and
Byrd for a Time.

WASHINGTON. March .e.-Through a
misunderstanding, Congressman Byrd, OF
Mississippi. and Congressman Fordney,
OF Michigan. almost came 10 blows on
the floor o. the House to-day while the
latter was making speech on the tariff.
Mr.. Byrd asked Mr.. Fordney II It was
no; true that a trust exists among the
retail lumber dealers OF Mississippi, to
which Mr.. Fordney's Arm, which g
operating in that State, was a party. Mr..
Byrd added that he knew whereof he
spoke when he charged the existence o..
such a combination.
The gentleman doesn't know a
id thing about it," shouted Mr..
Fordney irrltably
Immediately Mr.. Byrd made his way
toward Mr.. Fordney, but several Dem
ocrattc members stopped him.
Mr.. Fordney apologlzed to the House
and said that II he had offended the
gentleman from Mississippi he most
humbly apologized, He added how
ever, that Mr.. Byrd could not say that
his firm was member Of lumber
trust.
Mr.. Byrd then explained that It was
not his intention 70 make such charge
and the incident was closed.

Special to The Evening World

WASHINGTON, March 2s-Mrs. Ray.
mond II. Coleman. OF No. 1906 r street
returning home from visit to a friends
mouse last evening, found the TOP floor OF
the house enveloped In flames. Firemen
were battling with the blaze, sub tenants
were moving out their furniture and
other valuables and large crowd wa.
massed In front OF the building. Mrs
Coleman forced her way through the
crowd screaming.
Oh my baby! my baby! It is burned
to death"
Then she rushed past two fremen and
would have entered the building had
they not restrained her. A moment later
Mr.. Coleman appeared on the scene and
the wife screamed again for her baby"
The firemen rushed into the smoke
filled hall and made their way TO the
second floor. Further ascent was impos.
sible. as the third floor was a mass OF
flames. A hurried search OF all the
apartments on the first and second
floors was made, but all that was found
were three guinea pigs. The animals to
all appearances were dead, but the fire.
men gathered them up and carried them
to the street. where they were revived
Mr.. and Mrs. Coleman We're surround

meantime had hosted ladders, and an
attempt was made TO enter the front
room, The apartment. how
ever, was like furnace, and despsir.
ingly the tiremen threw a stream OF
water into the room.

Coleman And he was such a dear
too Composing herself Mrs. Coleman
finally explained to the firemen that her
