Stale Bread.
II IS generally supposed that the
staleness OF bread arises from its be-
coming actually drier by the gradual
loss Of water. but this Is not the case.
Stale bread contains almost exactly
the same proportion OF water as new
bread after Il has become completely
cold. The change Is merely IN the In

OF the bread. A proof OF this is that

THE coWAN CASE.

The insurgents and a majority of the
democrats Of the house cried wolf,
They made a state issue of the dis
trict court matter of Judge Cowan.
They magnifled it's Importance and the
muckrakers screamed themselves
hoarse about the ermine being trailed
IN the dust--and things like that.
The insurgents sought to raise a
great hue and cry over Cowan-to
drown the criticism Of Stockwell for
Illegally using state fees-of the in
surgent State Treasurer Bickford
whose shortage was something like
@6O,Ooo-and the democrats because of
the fish and game scandal through
which the license money of hunters OF
the state was used to build up a big
political machine for Governor Burke.
The Cowan matter was a great thing
for these fellows.
Then the bubble bursted.
A committee of seven members of the
house-appointed by a speaker elected
Ply the insurgents-and antagonistic to
Judge Cowan--reported six to one
against impeachment The house men,
hers by majority of ten approved the
findings.
Disappointed and sore, the insur-
gents and muckrakers then started a
series Of indignation" meetings, run
by the people who are always--op-
posed. 1t was last desperate resort

times more than is charged against
him--he is still entitled to a square
deal. The effort to convict and dis
grace man by such methods doesn't
reflect glory on the instigators.

RECIPROCITY.

Most men can remember back when
their mothers used to lick 'em-and
give 'em bitter, nasty medicine--then
say: Il know this doesn't taste good,
Johnnie, but 1t will do you good. 1t
will make man OF you and you'll
grow up big and strong" And the boy
would have to take the stufr-bitter as
1t was.
That's what they are trying to do
on the reciprocity business President
Taft and the eastern manufacturers
are performing the motherly stunt
and the western farmer is like the
squirm1ng boy. 1t also looks like he'll
have to take the medicine-some time
As a national movement-there is
no doubt but that the proposed Can
adam reciprocity treaty will be a big
thing for the country. 1t will be of
great benefit to the southern farmer
who raises neither wheat nor meal.
He can buy these things cheaper-and
sell his cotton at higher price.
The easterners who want cheap
bread and meat are also anxious for
the treaty.
The western grain and stock grow
er is the goat The corn raiser gets
1t just as bad as the wheat raiser
for the oats and cheaper Canadian
grains will reduce the price of corn
just as it will the price of the North
Dakota farmers wheat.
Even the ardent advocates Of reci-
procity admit the treaty will be hard
on the farmers of the spring wheat
states-that it will cause a loss in price
"a reduced valuation of lands-pend-
ing an era of reconstruction-and re-
adjustment to the new conditions.
The northwestern farmer doesn't
want to be the sacrifcial Offering. The
rest Of the country has him on the
block-tied hand and foot-and the
knife is at his throat. If he squfrms
sufficiently to escape the slaughter at
the regular session 1t is proposed to
call congress in special session April
4-and stab him to a fnish-fulI of
reciprocity holes.
In the meantime-how would you
Ike to be a North Dakota farmer and
have the rest of the country trying to
take away from you that which means
the difference between an existence
and some Of the advantages and Iuxur-
les of life?
Is 1t any wonder that the sturdy pio-
neers Of North Dakota, who settled and
made habitable this country-are OPP
posed to seeing their life's work blotted
out by reciprocity-and the labors of
life time go for naught?

At the Grand.

There were few screamers in the
capacity house that attended the first
performance at the Grand last night
and their laughter added to the fun
by the people on the bill. The au-
dience got going once and laughed
itself almost into Mysteries.
The bill is an unusually good one.
After interesting motion pictures the
fun starts with Paullinetti & Piquo,
European eccentric comedians They
do number of laughable stunts, con-
GLIDING with the introduction of a
mysterious big lady that sends the au-

the spirit of hearty recreation makes
for the best progress.
In what way are the Japanese q SUI
perior people? They are conspicuous
today. because they won doubtful vic
tory over the Russians They won
their victory largely by violating a
principle that stout hearted men have
held to be inviolabla; they began to
fight without giving warning. They
defeated a nation which was already
defeated within its own borders.
The development of the Japanese in
manual sense has been extraordi-
nary; but has their ethical progress
been as pronounced? They have cop
led the dreadnaughts of the modern
world, but have they contributed to
civilization a true song, or story, or
picture? Do their ambitions lie in this
direction?
The most playful nation in the world,
perhaps. is England, which was not
called "Merrie England" without prop
er cause. And 1t would be useless to
point out how this little country, be-
grit by its seas, has sent to all the
corners OF the world types of the high
est manhood and womanhood.
America Is almost excessively fond
of its play days; and the progress of
America has been the most astonish-
ing fact in the development Of the
world. Germany has excelled in sports
and so has France; and the influence Of
these countries is universal
The countries of the modern world
which are not famed for their joyous
ness include Japan. China, Russia,
Turkey, Egypt and India. Have they
any garIands to weave around the

SHOULD COOK THE PORK
Grave Danger of Trichinosis From
Eating Raw or lmperfeetly
Cooked Pork.

Cases of illness sometimes occur
from eating uncooked or insuffciently
cooked pork which is infested with a
microscopic parasite commonly known
as trichina or fiesh-worm, the scientific
name being Trichinella spiralis. An
average of / or per cent of the hogs
slaughtered in the United States are
infested with this parasite. When
transmitted to human beings, trichinae
may cause serious illness, sometimes
resulting in death. Out of about 15.-
600 cases of trichinosis recorded in
medical literature, most of which oc-
CURED in Europe, $50 resulted fatally.
No method of inspection has yet
been devised by which the presence
or absence of trichinae in pork can be
determined with certainty, and the
government inspection does not In
clude inspection for this parasite. All
persons are accordingly warned by the
United States department OF agricul-
ture not to eat pork, or sausage con-
tanning pork, whether or not 1t has
been inspected by federal. state. or mu-
nicipal authorities, until after 1t has
been properly cooked.
A temperature of $50 degrees fahren-
heit kills the parasite, therefore pork
when properly cooked may be eaten
without any danger of infection. Fresh
pork should be cooked until it becomes
white and is no longer red in color in
all portions of the piece, at the cen
ter as well as at he surface. Dry-salt
pork, picked pork. and smoked pork
previously sailed or picked, providing
the curing is thorough, are practically
safe so far as trichinosis is concerned,
but as the thoroughness of the curing
is not always certain, .such meat also
should be cooked before it is eaten.
A pamphlet giving information on
the subject may be obtained on appli-
cation to the secretary of agriculture,
Washington, D. G.
