ENTERING NEW SYSTEM.

The New York Sun, discussing the
next phase Of the new banking sys-
tenn, the actual participation by the
banks Of the nation, says:
There are about $500 national
banks in the country. and the number
which have already signif1ed their in
tention of entering the new federal re-
serve association is a small proportion
of the total. The rush of early appli-
cations for membership is an encour-
aging token of a widespread disposi-
ton to cooperate for the successful
establishment of the financial system
for which congress has just provided,
but 1t must be recognized that delay
on the part OF a very large numbeE4
OF national banks is not only possible
but probable.
Interest attaches to the action OF
state institutions because they are
under no compulsion except such as
may I'm time develop through the adj
yantages of membership in the feder-
al reserve system and the correlative
disadvantages OF non-memhership.

N SON."

An important social movement or
,lginating in the middle west, is de-
signed to bring about a closer COM
partnership between fathers and their
growing boys. 1t is realized that when
a boy gets to the age of observation
the average fathers interest in him
ceases. So it comes about that in the
formative period of a boys character,
he is largely dependent on outside IN
fuences to shade and modify his cat
look in life. That this should be es-
sentially the fathers province no one
car deny.
Commonly the drift apart occurs
about the time the boy is through the
preparatory school. The youngster has
picked up acquaintance at school
whose habits Of mind are akin to his
own. and with whom he can associate
On terms Of friendship and on an equal
basis. His father is immersed in bus
mess cares. and when he reaches
home at night deserves rest and di-
version. The boy Of Is or Is is apt to
be the least companionable person in
the world for his elders, and consa-
quently he necessarily associates with
those of his own age.
The movement is a rational and
wholesome one, and it's general ac-
ceptance would do much to reunite
families somewhat distracted by CON
f1icting interests.

HOW AN ONION CURES A COLD.

Oil Contained in Useful Vegetable

New York American: Most persons
know that eating a raw onion drives
out a cold" but why the onion should
possess this beneficent power not one
In a hundred persons who were cured
would be able to say
The oil contained in the onion,
chives radish and horseradish is an
oil that belongs n the category of
spices, and this oil has a deadly effect
upon certain pathogenic, that is to say
harmful bacteria Furnishing in various
organs Of the human body. The in
testinal flora against which DR.. Metch-
nikoff wages his incessant campaign
are the best known of the pathogenic
bacteria and are among the most dan
gerous. But the microbe which causes
colds is quite annoying. According to
DR.. Haig, the great uric acid special
list, all colds, are due to a combination
of three things-a chill, a microbe or
a uric acid tendency which prepares a
cell for the microbes growth. In ad-
dition to being a source Of great dis

because the person suffering with it is
always in jeopardy Of pneumonia.

but the mucous membrane forms a
sort Of protective wall against it to
bar it from entering the system.
During a cold the extremely delicate
membrane lining of the nose, mouth
and throat is intensely irritated and
its protective efficiency is greatly
weakened, affording the pneumonia
germ a better foothold than when the
membrane is in normal condition.
Among the germs to which the oil
of the onion Is a deadly foe is the cold
microbe, and by attacking it m Of The
causes producing colds is obviated.
Thus the cold microbe, n of the nee

cold, an onion, eaten raw, will drive
out the cold"
Properly speaking, the onion is a
vegetable, but because of it's strong
flavor We have come to regard 1t al
most exclusively as a spice. There are
other spices which have just as good
an effect upon the human system.
According to DR.. Alfred Gigon of
Raesi, spices are a much abused coa-
~stituent of the diet. He classified
spices into five divisions. Into the first
class fall salt and the so-called arc

AN EXCELLENT EXAMPLE.

state $1,000 annually in interest mon

ner for other investment purposes.
Getting heavily into debt usually
} shows a lack OF business ability,
whether in governmental affairs or in
private life. On the contrary, getting
out of debt proves ability to live with
in available means, which is good bus
mess.
There is something Of a parallel be-
tween the experiences Of the city of
Fargo and the state in this. Under

F7argo's affairs have been placed on a
strict business basis, the city is get

finances in such shape that it can TAX

on the taxpayers. and with a plan
, outlined whereby the entire debt can
! be wiped out in a short time.
These are excellent examples to set
before the state, and the
, ment that the state bonded indebted
ness has been reduced cannot help but
have an effect on the business life of
the entire commonwealth. One OF the
things that works against any new
country is lack of capital. When there
is no capital it mus be borrowed, and
that means a heavy drain in the way
Of interest.
North Dakota has had this drain
ever since it became a state. 1t has
been shipping interest money back
east to add to the denominations Of
capital there. 1t is one Of Governor
Hanna's hobbies, il it can b. called
a hobby, to stop this leak and keep

EVOLUTION.

The first development of Darwin's
epochal and revolutionary theory of
the origin Of species through natural
selection, resulted from his memorable
voyage on the brig Beagle, which sail
ed away from England eighty-two
years ago today. Captain Fitzroy. Of
the Beagle, asked that a naturalist
be supplied to accompany the expedi-
ton of exploration Of South America,
and a young man who had just gradu-
ated at Cambridge, Charles Darwin
by name, volunteered for the place.
For five years the Beagle cruised
about South America nwaters, and the
youthful naturalist, by the accumula-
ton of a vast mass Of scientific data
n a close observance Of the mani
festations Of nature, laid the founda-
ton for his work, which was to over
turn many Of the accepted notions
Of science and religion. On that trip
Darwin discovered a new world of
thought, and, like another Columbus,
returned to Europe to startle and con-
found the world. Modern evolution
was born when the eBagle sailed on
Dec. q. 1881.

LAW

The supreme court has said that the
state bonding law passed by the last
session of the legislature is ~unconsti-
tutionaL This means hat the state
cannot do it's own bonding.
The verdict is a big victory for the
local bonding companies that fought
1t through and to Lawrence & Muir
ply, the Fargo attorneys who handled
the case for them. It was alleged that
the law would have deprived the
bonding companies of business that
was legitimately theirs and this view
was upheld by the supreme court.

Beavers Aid Farmers.

Portland Press: Just across the
Phillips line to the town of Salem,
Me. there is an interesting work car
ried on by the busy beavers. Here,
instead of being an injury to the own
ers of the land, as is their custom, the
beavers are a great benefit. The land
as 1t now stands is of practically no
value to the land owners, but after
the beavers have cleared the land of
the alders and other useless wood
which grows there, it will be trans
formed into a fine fertile pasture,
watered by the dam of the busy ami
mails. Here these workers of the woods
have built four dams, flooding an area
of 100 acres, making the water in some
places five feet deep. There must be
a large colony of the animals for there
Is an immense amount of cutting that
they have done, although no large
trees have been cut. Taking a boat
from the bank OF the pond that they
have formed one is greatly impressed
by the amount of work. Besides the
dams, which are tremendous struc-
lures. many cords of alders and
poplars have been stored and cut for
winters use.
