m accordance With the plHn
preached through these columns over
q month ago. the advisory committee
Of the Associated Charities Is now
considering the holding OF another
rl1mmage sale, not a huge one at the
armory, but one TAT the Association
house, where the goods which have
been collected since the sale can be
turned over to the public In return
for small amounts Of money.
No fault ts found with the annual
rummage sale and It will probably be
continued. but the new idea of having

hand now are seasonable and in many
cases needed among the poorer peo-
pie Of the city.
NOVEMBER COSTLY MONTH.
During the past month some 80 cases
were handled at the Association

was heavy because of the need for
fuel in many Of the cases. AS the
county does not issue orders for fuel
during November. the brunt fell upon
the Associated Charities. The obliga

ONE BUSTED TRUST.


One year ago the price of food pro-
ducts reached the highest point in the
history of the country. 1t reused i'm
mense discussion as to what the causes
were and what should be the remedy.
Statesmen, financiers and economists
all contributed to the topic, which was
of intense interest to every one.
When the general discussion had
cleared the atmosphere. it was seen
that the high cost Of living could not
be attributed to any one cause-but
was the product of many.
1t was discovered, however. that
there was one cause that was directly
responsible for the high cost Of such
food articles as eggs, butter and poui-
try. This was found H. the cold stor-
age coInbines-which made practice
OF buying UP and holding such articles
for artificially high prices

cause 1 believe that much Of the dis
satisfaction with the present tariff

the value of such products. am free
to say that do not favor that kind
of reform. Farm products have adj
vanced very materially within the last
ten years; but, considering the cost
of production, measured by the
amount of labor expended and capital

vance as much as he should receive
for that which his labor produces.
IL think it is probably proper for me
to say that I believe the duties levied
upon any articles, are as a rule. such
small percentage of their retail price,
that revision itself will not greatly af-
feet the cost to the ultimate consumer.
Close, stringent times will have much

Of the new concern.
Chewing gum is new habit. It
dates back less than half a century,
but the great amount of money in
vested in the manufacture Of gum in
dicates that it has taken a firm hold
ON the American public.
Europeans are always shocked in
this country by the prevalence of gum
chewing, even among persons of sup

ball games, in the street cars and in
railway trains men OF all classes chew
gum with a freedom which amazes for

The charge of Europeans that all
classes Of women chew gum publicly in
America is not we'll taken. The funny
papers to the contrary, American
women Of intelligence and refinement
seldom chew gum.
Physicians have recently expressed
the opinion that most persons given
to the gum chewing habit indulge in
spearmint through sheer nervousness.
This theory is borne out in a meas

REGULATING MARRIAGES.

some years ago General Creel OF
Devils Lake, while member Of the
legislature, introduced bill requiring
physical examination Of men and
women before they would be permitted
to marry. His measure attracted ma
tionA attention - and unfortunately
more abuse than appreciation. But the
things that were hetrodox yesterday
are orthodox today-and that Is true
OF the ideas advanced by General CreeL
Since he introduced his bill similar
measures have been discussed in other
states. One or two have adopted the
plan. washington state has the most
rigid requirements for marriage IL
censes.
The people OF North Dakota are to
have another chance to impose restric-
lions on idiotic and criminal mar
riages. Senator diversion OF Williston
has a bill that is along the same gen.
eral line as that of the one advocated
by General Creel-though greatly Diff
fering in detail.
Mr.. diversion seeks to secure health
Ter race by making 1t impossible for
people suffering from chronic and con-
stitutional diseases-or confirmed
drunkards or criminals-to marry.
There may be some differences of opin-
ion as to the scope of Mr.. Overson's
bin. But the underlying principle is
correct and such restrictions are nee
essary If the human race is to be pre-
served-or improved.
1t is probably too much to hope that
Mr.. Overson's bill will be enacted.
Even II it is there will be the handi-
cap Of its limited territory. If other
states did not have a similar measure
those residents of North Dakota de-
barred from marriage within the state
would go to Minnesota, South Dakota
or Montana and enter into criminal
and foolish marriages at will.
The bill. IL 1t became a law, would
undoubtedly have a beneficial effect
and act as a deterrent to prevent some
of the crimes frequently committed

Travellers Tales


ROLAND Towner, the fat hotel clerk,
the only fat man IN town who has a
solemn .visage, lost a fortune BY max
ing a slip Of his tongue when he was
much younger man than he is now.
ROLAND had an uncle. According to
the story his name was ROLAND
Rounder, ST., and he lived in the
east.
He grew tired of life and one day
when Aunt Prisilla, Chat was his wife)
was away from home he went I'D into
the attic, and placing a rope about his
neck with the other end tied to a
heavy staple in the roof, jumped off
a chair and shuffled off this mortal
coil. Mrs. Rounder felt dreadfully
about the matter and for weeks no one
was ever allowed to speak OF the sui
eide, the attic or anything connected
with the sad occurrence.
ROLAND had been away from home
when the tragedy took place, but he
returned two weeks afterwards and
went over to the house to commiserate
with his aunt, the widow.
He determined, however, to speak
only of things foreign to the trouble
and thus endeavor il only for few
minutes, to make his unhappy reIa-
tive forget her troubles.
Rather nice weather we're having

Yes, nephew" she replied, deter
