"No working woman can pos

week." Mrs. Raymond Robins, the
Chicago heiress, society woman
and settlement worker, told the
national conference of the WON

session in Boston. Anything I'M

starvation wage, necessitating a
denial of proper food and clothing
Or seeking them from other
sources.
IF work is not only wearisome
in it's monotony and long hours,
but dangerous because it calls for

judgment and arouses no creative
faculties, and If to this Is added
the still greater danger of a wage
on which the women and girls
cannot even live while they are
working, then 1t would seem i'm

Bee to 1t that these conditions
making for slavery come to an

a nervous child that can't sleep?-
B. E. C.
A: Shoulder braces alone are
not good thing. In other words
not an unmixed blessing. How
ever, they help. Get them and
then have the children do exer-
cises to develop the muscles of
the back and shoulders. Get a
trapeze or better, horizontal bar
high enough so they will have to
jump three or four inches off the
floor to catch 1t. CD At night
use this: Lime water, ounces;
sweet almond oil. ounces; car
bolic acid. 3 grains. In the morn
ing wash the face In very hot
water. Try not washing the face
oftener than absolutely necessary,
as sometimes the water Is very ir-
irritating to the skin. For cold
cream ask the druggist for rose
water ointment. Get rid of the
sallowness by keeping the bowels
open, eating fresh fruits and vege-
tables, drinking freely of water,
Lemonade and buttermilk. Avoid
tea, coffee, highly spiced foods,
lpuddings, etc, and keep outdoors.
CD After a stain has been set by
time and Intellectual efforts to re-
move, the problem is complicated.
Try boiling water poured through
the stain. If not successful have
dress dyed or see an expert clean
err. (4) Put child to bed at a
definite time each night and leave
alone. Have plenty of fresh air
In the room. Avoid late meals
or exciting amusement after sup
per. Give the child a warm bath
Just before retiring mot hot, but
water at 100 degrees for 10 min
utes. Dry off without rubbing too
vigorously. Be sure the bowels
are regular. If this fails see the
family physician. -

.MOFFIT FARMER
TOOK OWN LIFE

Moffit, N. D., Aug. 25.-Fulfilling
threats made to take his own life.
John Plath, prominent farmer liv-
ing in Wild Rose township near Mof-
fit, committed suicide yesterday at
about s o'clock by falling strychnine.
He resisted all attempts to relieve the
poison, asserting that he would stick
a knife into the person that inter
fered,' and died fifteen minutes later.
Plath, who is well known In this
section Of the country having lived
at his present home for the past nine
years, separated from his wife some
time ago and has since been living
on an adjoining farm, eating q part
OF his meals with the family. AT
times he seemed to BIO denented and
has often threatened and even made
attempts to kill other members Of the
family.
In q conversation yesterday with one
of the neighbors he rcmarked that Ii
he only had some shells he would Elk
sem air they would see. Nothing
was thought Of his remarks as he
has made similar ones before. nothing
more was said at the time and he re-
turned to his farm.
Yesterday morning at about s o'clock
| he went over to the other barn and
his wife was helping one Of the boys
with the milking. He demanded some
milk and he was told that he would
have to wait until they were through.
| 1t seems that he had bought a bottle
of strychnine some time before and his
wife had hid 1t. After a short ST.
lence he demanded to know where the
poison was concealed and started to
the house to look for 1t.
| The wife became alarmed and sent
her son to prevent him from finding
| it but before the boy could reach the
house, the father stepped outside with
| the bottle in his hand. He came Out
to the barn, near his wife,, and poured
some of the contents of the bottle In.
to the palm of his hand saying, I'll
show you what I'll do Mrs. Platl
il struck the palm of his hand with |
stick, splitting the liquid. Whereupoi
he ran q short distance away ant
repeated the performance. This tim
he was successful and threw hard
full of the strychnine into his mouth
The son made an attempt to pou
some milk down his throat but wa
stood off by the dying man until !
was too late.

corn ACREAGE
NEARLY DOUBLE
RECORDS SHOW THE IOWA IDEA
is FAST GAINING GROUND IN
SARGENT COUNTY.

Cogswell, N. D.. Aug. 25.-Accord-
ing to figures taken from the record
OF the county auditor the increase in
the acreage of corn in Sargent this
year over 1910 was more than
doubled. In the latter year there were
in the county seas acres in corn,
while this year the returns made by
the assessors show 1888 acres or
more than 100 per cent increase. Add
to this fact that the corn crop in
the county already out Of danger from
frost and the further fact that the
crop is the largest per acre ever raised
in this section, and draw your own
conclusions.
There was a decrease in the fax
amount of acreage put into crop from
22,796 in 1910 to 1928 in 1911. The
biggest part Of this crop is either cut
or ready for the reaper, and the aver
age for the county is estimated by the
commissioner of agriculture at ten
| bushels.
One year ago there were only
| twenty six acres in the county sown
| to winter wheat, while this year the
records show 1,476 acres.

ASSESS COMPANIES
AS FIRST CLASS
STATE AUDITOR I'M AN INTER.
VIEW SUGGESTS PLAN FOR
ENFORCING REPORTS.

Grand Forks, N. D., Aug. 25.-As-
sessment Of all telephone companies
Of the state falling to make report
Of their holdings as being In pos
session Of first class lines and equip-
ment is the remedy that state Auditor
p. X. Brightbill OF North Dakota, q
member of the state board OF equaa-
ization, proposes for those negligent
corporations. The state board has
been hung up In its work on account
OF the failure of a number OF the
telephone companies to make reports
as provided by the state law, and the
board hesitates to invoke the penalty
inflicted by law--that of a $500 fine
and for that reason has been delaying
| action as long as possible in order
to give the last of the companies an
opportunity Of making their reports.
The situation Is just this" said
State Auditor Brightbill In an inter
view here today. There are many of
the telephone companies of the state
that are only small concerns. supply
ing from eight to twenty farmers in a
small district. Their equipment Is
not good, their lines are cheap and
their poles are of an inferior grade.
AT the same time these companies
operate without expense, having their
own connections throughout their lin
| tied district and for that very reason
| they have no organization.
The result Of operation under this
plan is demoralizing to the equaliza-
ton board. as our notices fail to re-
ceive attention. We, of course, have
information on the mileage from the
| county auditors, but that Is all. AS
| sessing these lines as first class in
creases the taxes considerably, and on
the average small company of this
nature would make a difference OF
from $40 to $50 year In taxes. When
the farmers owning such lines become
aware of that fact they are very
likely to pay more attention to the
| question Of getting their reports in.
Last year the board had similar
dlfriculties, and in one case an assess.
ment was made on line as first class
with the result that 1t pays taxes II
the sum of about $3.50 additional
There was, of course, a big demand
for a reduction when the difference
was found. but the county and state
boards refused abatement on the
ground that the company had faileC
or refused utterly to make the reporr
in question"
At the present time there are abou
seyenty-fiy companies that have no
made reports. When the board as
sembles again these companies will b,
assessed and the eaualizers win adj
journ sine die.
Mr.. Brightbill was in Grand Fork

CLEVER RUSE
WAS WORKED BY
G. n. DETECTIVE

Devils Lake, N. D., Aug. 25.-As q
result of a very clever piece Of de-
tective work on the part of officer
sullivan employed by the Great
Northern. a man giving his name as
MCGUIRE was arrested last night
whose apprehension will bring to JUS
tice one of the cleverest crooks In
the northwest. To carry out the
game to a successful end. Sullivan
was forced to play the role OF tramp
which feature alone accounts ror the
nabbing of Mcclure.
When searched here, fun line OF
credentials were found ON Mcclure
which qualify him in the class that Is
far from straight. One OF these Is
device which lis used in marking cards,
Mcclure made the mistake of his
life when he took Sullivan for tramp.
1t is said he approached the officer
with a proposition to sell certain SILKS
which he had in his possession. IL Is
alleged he admitted that he stole these
down in Kansas somewhere, sullivan
took in the entire story boarding the
train and coming to Devils Lake. BY
the time the two reached here, Sulh-
van had gained all the information ne
figured he needed. Mcclure was
piaced under arrest here and lodged In
iail where he was given time to realize
for the first time the mistake that he
had made. He was arraigned before
Judge Juergens. He desired to Sc
cure the services of an attorney and
for this reason the case was adj
iourned until he could get in touch
with Kansas City.
He admitted to the officer that he
had been arrested as a vagrant IN
Fargo last week and that the ofncers
there had taken jimmy from him.
