WHEN is WOMAN AT HER sEsTi


DR.. George Peaslee Sears of New
York says women are at their best
between the ages of 40 and so.
In his opinion woman who has
passed the 40 mark has keener ca
pacity for enjoyment than her younger
sister--and has clearer and stronger
mental powers.
This 10 especially true of city women,
in the opinion of the New York spec
ialist in nervous disease. who says
country women fade earlier than city
women and become unattractive--be-
cause OF the narrowness of their lives
and the lack of variety which marks
their daily routine.
DIR. Sears believes the woman who
has some interest outside of herself
has far better chance of retaining
her youth--than the woman who has
too much time for introspection. II
other words the woman who is follow
ing a business career or profession.
al career has a better chance of re.
nnaining young in mind and body thar
woman whose entire life is devoted
to society. Women who are actively
engaged in some pursuit which de.
mands most of'their time are less dys.
peptic. They have no time to thinl
Of petty ailments and nervous sole,

THEATRE MEN COMPLAIN.

The New York World is authority
for the statement that it is hard times
among the show men. and many trav-
cling companies are going out OF bus
mess because Of poor patronage ont
side Of New York city, 1t thus states
the situation;
Theatrical men, report that while
box receipts are good in New York.
the showing is much below the STAN
dard In the rest Of the country. Sew
enty- four plays were closed last week.
Nearly q third Of our professional ac-
tors are out OF employment. and some
OF them are Of continental reputation.
The owners Of theatres in small towns
arc turning their houses into picture
shows. thus adding to the embarrass-
fnent Of the companies in their efforts
to make dates for tours. While thea
tre managers attribute the loss Of
patronage to- tho cheap competition
of bi0gr8pll and phoncgraph the pub
lie il not likely to agree with them.

DREAMING CALAMITY HowLERs.

The editor of The New York Even
ing Post happily expresses the pres
ent situation in the following:
Business is improving" SO report
the leading trade reviews, but they
must be mistaken. We know, because
We have been told so. that business Is
dead. Business men are everywhere
dazed or paralyzed or frightened out
Of all semblance of enterprise. The
Sherman law did it, wickersham did
1t, Taft did it, and even Roosevelt
couldn't stop it. Nobody is buying or
selling Because it is well known that
everybody who engages In commerce
of any kind is at once sued by the
government and. II possible, put in
jail. All these things being estab-
lished by the mouth. not of two or
three witnesses, but of millions who
cannot lie or exaggerate. the effrontery
of these trade journals in declaring
that business is improving is almost
inconceivable. They ought to be sued
for defamation of the good name of
calamity howlers.

OFFICIAL PAPER CITY OF FARGO
VOLUME XXX, NO. u.
WEDNESDAY. NOV. %, 1911.
THANKSGIVING DAY.

Tomorrow is the day set apart for
returning thanks for the favors OF the
current year. 1t is a beautiful Gus
tom-with special religious signif-
icance.
Thanksgiving is distinctly Amer
lean institution. 1t started in New
England in 1921 when--after boun-
tiful crop--the colonists gave thanks
in praise and prayer. The custom
later followed victories of the Revolu-
tionary ana subsequent wars. For
more than zoo years it was confined
largely to the New England states.
During the Civil War it became ma
tion-wide movement through the proc
lamation of President Lincoln. Since
that time it has gained greater vogue
until every governor follows the ex-
ample OF the president and proclamates
the general Thanksgiving day.
In spite of the religious significance
of the svent-there has always been
an effort to make the day holiday
affair. For years sports held a very
prominent part of the observance of
the day. Public opinion has to large
degree regulated this matter. The
great football games of the country
and other sporting events are no long
er scheduled. This year comparative
~ few games are being played.
Nationally the people have much for
which to return thanks. The country
Is enjoying peace and prosperity-and
the American government occupies
most enviable position as a world
power.
North Dakotans have enjoyed a
great prosperity-not as large as in
some former years-but far greater
than year before. The development
of the year has been most marked and
encouraging.
Fargo citizens have especial cause
for Thanksgiving. Local business has
been good and conditions are favora-
BILE to a continuance Of the large
trade enjoyed. Municipality and civic
ally the city has reason for great re-
joicing. There has been great
awakening in public spirit. The
Ratchet has been buried and the peo-
pie of Fargo have gotten together for
greater and better things.
At no period since its original set
Element has Fargo been in such a mag
niAcent position as at present. 1t is
MISUNDERSTANDING - and tomorrow
the hearts of most Fargoans will give
forth an expression Of genuine thanks
for present conditions.
Appropriate religious services win
be held tomorrow-that the worship
pers of Fargo may give expression to
the sentiment in their hearts. They
will be largely attended.
