The resignation of Secretary of
State Bryan because he is adverse to
doing anything that may plunge this
country into the terrible European
conflict, will have a tremendous bear
ing on the political fortunes Of Pres
~Iident Wilson. 1t cannot be denied
that Bryan is the greatest personal
ity in the democratic party and yields
a power over the hearts and con-
sciences of men Of all parties that is
second to no other man. It was he,
in fact, who made Wilson president,
something that would not have hap
pened had not the Republican party
been divided against itself. AS a
political economist Mr.. Bryan may
not always be right, but as a states
man he is nearer the people and
knows what they are thinking, better
than any other man in American pub
lie life. As secretary Of state his
work in negotiating numerous treat
les Of peace with foreign nations, will
have worldwide significance. Mr..
Bryan's resignation may disrupt the
democratic party. At any rate Pres
ident Wilson will loom smaller in
stature after he is gone.

East Grand Forks Will Remain on the
IL Man

To argue that East Grand Forks is
going to be wiped off the map is to
capitulate. Let us not lie down and
quit. East Grand Forks has bright
future ahead, but a complete recon-
struction will have to be commenced.
1t must not be the slum of Grand
Forks and the rendezvous of blind,
piggers. boot-leggers. gamblers, thugs
and fallen women. The city must be
rebuilt along lines of decency, respec-
liability and stability:
There must be, inducements held
out for other lines Of industry to take
the place of that which has been leg
1slated out The farming territory,
tributary to East Grand Forks is not
surpassed in the: entire world. The
wealthy western Polk county iustifes
the existence here of a city twice the
present size Of East Grand Forks if
all get into the harness and pull for
a bigger and better town.
The hammer shold be buried with
the closing of the campaign. Most of
the people engaged in the liquor bust
ness in East Grand Forks are good,
citizens and good boosters. 1t is to
be hoped that they will be able to
adapt themselves to the new condi-
tons SO as to engage in other lines of
business which does not necessitate
their removal from the city. Therel
are scores Of splendid opendings here
for other lines. Being on the ground
floor they will, no doubt, recognized
these opportunities and avail them
selves thereof.

FOOD VALUES.
How to Get the Best Results by Bal
ancing Ones Diet.

How to Get the Best Results by Bal
ancing Ones Diet.
"Ham and eggs, a glass of milk, a
piece of custard pie with cheese" This
order goes forth not only once, but
hundreds Of times daily in our restau-
rants from business men.
In the tea rooms another order goes
forth frequently. ''I'll have some waf-
fles and honey, a cup of chocolate and
French pastry"
These meals are all wrong, and a
further glance at them will show why.
Here we have the business man order
ing eggs, meat, milk, custard and
cheese-the five most important foods
OF the same class-protein. In other
words, he is taking the same kind of
food III five different forms, and his
meal therefore is really only one kind
of food taken ad libitum. His wife in
the tea room eats waff1es, sirup, choco-
late and pastry. Again four different
forms Of the same kind Of food, so that
her meal is all starch, sugar and fat
Now, no meals so one sided can be
healthful. A hasty glance would per.
haps lead us to believe that the mans
lunch was more wholesome than the
woman's, but both are dietetically bad.
The ideal meal is composed of four
different elements-the proteid or mus
Gle forming. the sugar, starch or fat
forming, the fat or heat forming and
the mineral elements which add flavor,
refreshment and tonic qualities. The
balanced" meal must have some of.
each Of the four qualities represented
in the foods which compose it. In this
way all the needs of the body are sup:
piled by every meal, and no one need
is oversupplied
II we had taken the eggs from the.
first lunch and added them to the waf-
fles Of the second, and put in a vegeta-5
Bile or fruit salad we would have had
Il nearly perfect meal. From the eggs
there are protein, the wafties give
starch and fat. and the vegetable or
fruit would give the necessary watery
and havorful qualities to make the
meal satisfying, energy producing and
refreshing.
1t is exceedingly simple to plan home
meals or to choose meals from a bill
of fare after the balanced plan Sc
lect one food from each of the four
groups or such combinations that will
give the four different food qualities.
Here are some wrong combinations:
Eggs, meat, cheese, milk foo much
proteim, rice, spaghetti, bread too
much starch, fried potatoes. dough
nuts, croquett:s foo much starch and
fat, wadles, chocolate, cake pastry
(too much sugar and fat, vegetable
salad, baked apple, vegetable soup (too
much water and mineraD.
Here are the same foods in correct
combination: Vegetable soup. eggs,
pastry; meat, vegetable salad, dough
nuts; cheese, rice, cake; milk, spa
ghetti, baked apple.

THE WEED PROBLEM.

The weekly news letter from the
agriculturest department Of the I'm
tied States says that it is:
Gar more important than to kill
weeds is to avoid having weeds to
kill. In other words, the farmer
should aid to prevent rather than
cure the evil. A farm can be made
almost free of weeds by strictly OBJ
serving the following principles: %
Prevent weeds from going to seed on
the farm; (2) prevent weed seeds
being brought to the farm; and 81
in the case of perennial weeds, pre-
vent them from making top growth
and thus finally starving out the
underground parts.
Annual weeds live only one year,
maturing their seeds and then dying.
Biennial weeds live two years; dur
ing the first year they grow rather
slowly, producing usually a taproot
and a rosette Of leaves close to the
ground, but the second year they
send up flower stems that produce
seed and then die AS the ANIMALS
and biennials propagate themselves
by seeds alone, it is necessary to oh
serve only the first two Of the prin-
ciples stated above in their control.
Perennial weeds : on the other
hand, produce each year underground
parts, which live over to the next
year and produce top growth. These
weeds propagate themselves by their
underground parts as we'll as by their
seeds, and, even if prevented from
going to seed, keep on growing. In
dealing with .perennials, therefore,
it is necessary to observe all three
of the principles

HOW TO PRESERVE PolsE
AND BEAUTY.

When the eyes are tired and
dulled, as after motoring. use eli
ther IN eye lotion bath or one
made Of water to which little
boracic powder or witch hazel
has been added. Keep the eyes
open in the water. This both
strengthens and brightens them.
Knitting the brows when read
ing on working is habit certain
to produce .disfguring lines on
the face. .
\ good authority says that box
ing and fencing are not good ex-
ercises for brain workers. They
should select long walks. swim
ming or something of a similar
nature where, after the move
ments are once learned, the di-
rection is governed by the spinal
nervous system.
The following astringent lotion
is one of the best that can be
had: One and one-half ounces OF
witch hazel, one-half ounce of
tincture of benzoin, one ounce
spirits of wine. and five ounces
of orange flower water.
Many women allow their faces
to become tense aud set and
then wonder why lines develop.
Relax the muscles, cultivate a
pleasant expression and remem-

attractive than the dropping sort.
