.GEAREY FOR PARK
COMMISSIONER
soUTHsIDERs URGE THE sELEc-
TON OF FOURTH WARDER BE-
CAUSE OF HIS ENTHUSIASM
AND SPECIAL FITNEss-soME
OF OTHERS WITHDRAW.

Fargoans are showing considerable
interest in the selection of the mem
bers Of the park commission. 1t is
an encouraging sign of the times and
indicates the birth of an era Of civic
pride.
Yesterday, The Forum published a
list of names that had been suggested
by some enthusiastic residents of the
city.
Today residents Of the Fourth ward
are suggesting the name of Hal w.
Gearey. Mr.. Gearey has beautifed his
own property and southsiders want
the city to have the advantage of his
enthusiasm and experience. His home
grounds are among the most attrac-
tive in the city and that is his hobby.
He has large interests in the city and
is thorough business man.
The Fourth warders concede that
the territory north of the N. P. should
have majority of the members of
the commission but think that three
out of five would be more equitable
than four out of five. They urge Mr.
Geary's selection, however, more on
the ground of his special fitness than
from his locality.
1t is understood that one or two of
the others suggested yesterday con-
sented to go on more to complete the
list than through any special anxiety
to serve. 1t is said that Mr.. Hector
was one of those. It is possible that
unless more candidates come out one
of the five suggested yesterday might
be glad to withdraw in Mr.. Gearey's
favor.

new PHOTOGRAPHY
Artistic Possibilities of Modern Pro-
tograph Making Carefully Util-
ICED by Fargo Photographer.

Photography is not what it used to
be. Today it is possible to put more
artistic value and merit into a square
inch than was possible to get into a
square foot fifteen years ago. At that
time photography was purely a chemi-
cal process and no attempts were
made to use 1t as a means of artistic
expression. Today 1t is as pliable as
paint and brush and is limited only
by the individual who is abusing the
means at his command instead of
utilizing them. There is no limit to
the changes and notifications that
can be made. This requires not only
skill in handling Of chemicals but a
thorough knowledge of artistic ex-
preston and pictorial composition.
Mr.. Jansrud, Fargo's new photograph
er. has made a special study of every
thing pertaining to modern photogra-
ply during the past ten years, He
has attended one or more photogra-
graphic conventions annually during

There IS A Way
TO REMOVE DISEASE
THE HUMAN SYSTEM CAN BE RID
OF THE CAUSE OF DISEASE
MODERN SCIENCE CAN AND
HAS ACCOMPLISHED THAT
WHICH HAS BEEN THE DREAM
OF AGES.

In the centuries that have passed
the aim of curative methods have
been to secure a REMEDY for dis
ease. Later it came to be recognized
that REMEDY in the form of medicine
could only be directed at the effect
while the CAUSE was the root of the
evil and no one could be perfectly well
until the cause of disease had been
removed.
Among the many curative methods
which modern thought and skill have
evolved, none has been more success
full than Natural Science, in fact so
successful has this drugless form of
healing become that it has been ne
cessary to establish a sanitarium in
Fargo especially dedicated to the cure
Of disease through the use of Natural
Science methods.
AS the name implies. this method is
NATURAL, akin TO nature and it
represents the highest thought and the
bringing together of the best of all
Grugless form Of healing under one
head. Natural science is effective in
both chronic and acute forms of dis
ease, striking directly at the cause of
the trouble, removing it and leaving
nature to assert herself by perfecting
cure.
The Natural Science Sanitarium in
Fargo is located at 1903 Second ave-
nue. south, directly on the car line and
handy to all parts of the city. 1t is
in charge of DR.. Clarence Walter Cox,
who has made a study of drugless
methods and natural healing, having a
most successful career to recommend
him to those who need his services.
DR.. Cox receives and consults with all
sufferers without cost at his Offices

DAILY DIET HINTS
BY DR.. T. J. ALLEN
Food Specialist.
CHOLERA INFANTUM.

Cholera infantum, so commp
at this season, is better pc
vented than cured. It is en-
troIIed principally by feeding.
The chief rule to be obserred
is: Don't overfeed. This is
common mistake. An infant
cries for other reasons than
hunger. Water, Boiled, and
sweetened with mix sugar,
should be given a. intervals.
Periods of feeding shuId be as
regular as in the ad'It--three
hours apart: ~ to is ,unces of
milk the first month; 2 ounces
the second month, evlry four
hours; "a ounces the bird; a
quart the fourth or fifth. The
feeding should be as UNIFORM as
possible during hct wealth
err. It is better t. un-
derfeed a little than to over
feed. Observation shows that
The lower animals do not allow
he young to feed to ropetion.
froper ventilation is as neces-
sry for an infant as an adult,
md as much liberty for free
Movement as possible; food
must be oxidized before it can
beutiized. Yet exposure, chill
ING is to be avoided. The bath
is Important in order that the
actin of the skin and the cir
cuIaton may be maintained in
nornl condition. The mental
states of the Eiother directly
affect the child; and when any
violent emotion affects her the
infant should be guarded
against its effects.
In case of severe Intestinal
disturbance give an infant un-
der one Year only sveetened
water for Two or three feeding
periods; give one over a year
sweetened tsast water Ter "a to
4o hours.

EARLY rORM OF ADVERTISING
Crude PICTURES Placed on Walls Of
City similar to Our Bilboards in
Day Of Pompeii.

Writing on 1.-THE Origin of the
Cmmonest Things" Joseph ROBBIE says
Of advertising"
The ancient city of Pompeii was
ierhaps the most enterprising of all
IEhe commercial towns of antiquity,
and the secret of it's enterprise lay
in the fact that it's merchants be-
lieved even in that early age that it
paid to advertise. The particular form
of advertising which they used-and
which in reality was the earliest
known advertising in the world-was
similar to our present-day billboard
advertising.
Relics of this primitive commercial
art have come down to us in the
shape of various designs done in red
and black ON the walls of the city
The pictures were most crude, but
they were such as would tell the story
in convincing way.
For example, a school for boys
would have an advertisement depict
ing boy being whipped. One of the
reservations of the old city shows 6
section of the wall on which appeared
the picture of a goat as an advertise
ment for some dairy or other, while
a wine shop is represented by am
phorae and two slaves.
Hair tonics and various beauty
creams and ointments were adver
tised in abundance, and it is easy tC
imagine the lady of that ancient city
scanning the walls in search of {
suitable preparation for removing
wrinkles and preserving the complex
ion; for the lady of those far-off day!
was just as anxious to look young ant
pretty as is her fair descendant of con
temporary times.
Public announcements were alst
advertised in this way. A genera
meeting of citizens or notice of forth
coming gladiatorial games were Ell
fectively brought before the people
The principal significance of thi
early advertising, however, is found il
the exploitation of private business
The wise merchant soon realized tina
the wine shop whose sign appeared o.
the walls sold the most wine and tina
the school whose name was flashed i
big red and black letters every day i
the market place secured bigger er
rollment than the institutions that hi
their light under bushel
