MEAT

Meat in America will he a rarity
before the war ends, with its drain
on our supply" said Henry J.. Will
Hanson, government statistician in
the Department of Agriculture, at
Chicago, recently. "The number OF
cattle has diminished and the popula-
ton increased progressively for ten
years, until now they are too widely
divergent to hope to get a full supply
for at least ten years more.
Unless scientific breeding for in
crease is general and the slaughter Of
calves ceases, before five years have
expired America will fad herself in
the class of European countries that
have to import beef" continued Mr..
Williamson.
Increased prices for meat and
leather goods were forecast by gov
eminent and stockyards experts, who
have compiled figures estimating the
visible supply of cattle at $4,000, 900
head, including calves, yearlings and
full-grown stock.

Reputable medical men have not

twilight Sleep" There is no crueler

The friedman tuberculosis cure

a fierce indictment of the yellow

Candy an Alcohol Cure.

AS many persons are p%rejudiced
against candy, it is interesting to note
that DR.. William S. Sadler, in his
book, Worry. and Nervousness" holds
up candy as one of the most effective
foes to alcohol. He points out that
heavy drinkers seldom eat candy or
sugar, and contends that the reason
for this is that alcohol is in part so
utilized by their systems that there
is little physiological need for sugar.
Therefore, in curing his alcoholic pa
tents he encourages them to develop
a Sweet TOOTH" and finds that their
consumption of sugar helps very large
ly in removing the craving for alcohol.
The moral seems to be that the person
who is fond of candy should not be
twitted about it as if it were a weak
ness; that fondness for sweets may
prove an insurance against alcohol
ism.

TERN
Of LEGISLATORS
Another Recommendation OF Cover
nor Hanna's Comes Before the
House.

House Bill No ), a concurrent resO-
luton for the amendment OF the con-
stitution so as to provide for longer
terms of office for members of the
legislative assembly was introduced
in the house yesterday by MI. Heda-
len. This is along the lines suggest
ed by Governor Hanna in his mes
sage read on Wednesday,.
. e The proposed amendment provides
that senator's shall be elected for a
term of eight years and represen-
tatives for a term of four years, the
provision relative 10 house members
to apply to representatives elected at
the general election in 1920,
The regular session of the legisla-
tive assembly under this act would
be held every four years, to begin
with the session next after the rati-
fication of the amendment.
The bill also provides that sena-
torial districts shall he numbered con-
secutively from one upwards, accord
ing to the number of districts pre-
scribed and the senators shall be
divided into two classes. Those
elected in the districts designated by
evdn numbers shall constitute one
class and those in districts designated
by odd numbers the other class. The
senators of one class elected in 1920
shall hold office for eight years and
those of the other class elected in
1920 shall hold their office for four
years and the determination of the
two classes shall be by lot, so that
one half of the senator's, as nearly
as practicable, may be elected every
four years.

WORTH IN

Prefacing a eulogy of Treadwell
Twichell, the Courier7News of recent
date solemnly declares that he is
worth a thousand boneheads.' 1t
also characterizes him as a "civilized
reader" and a "civilized progressive"
Just what is the distinction between
one and a thousand boneheads, the
Courier-News man does not say. But
We give the gem as it was penned:
"Paraphrasing from AristotIe's FAM
Gus dictum that a civilized reader is
worth a thousand b%oneheads no sen
tence can more APPLY suit the dramat-
'ic doings at Bismarck than that a civ
iIized progressive is worth a thousand
boneheads."
There are ZIG members of the leg
islature. Excluding Mr.. Twichell
there remains lis. Does the Courier
News include them among the thous-
and boneheads?
But let us continue the panegyric:
From the dust of the conflict
which has ragged in the Capital City
one man stands out pre-eminently as
the big man of the legislature"
OF course he does not say whether
it was gold dust or just ordinary Bur-
leigh county dirt.
The Tribune knows Mr.. Twichell to
be an able floor leader; SCARED in a
thousand battles; but the titles, "civ-
ilized reader" and "civilized progress
sive," stump us.
Rushing to the defense of the other
lis who are not even classed as civ.
ilized or progressive, we are eagerly
waiting the Courier-News' appraisal
of their worth in terms of %boneheads.

Another Recommendation Of Cover

Governor Hanna's suggestion that leg
islation be passed providing for the

by railroads in this state was quickly
seconded by MI. Noyes, who ~introduc.'
ed in the house yesterday House Bill
No. 6, providing for the sanitation
disinfection and cleaning of railway
cars used for transportation of live
stock and prescribing penalties for

The bill would make it the duty OF
the railroad companies operating

used for transportation of livestock
cut of or into the state or from one
point to another within the state, to
be thoroughly cleaned by removing
all litter, manure and refuse from

infected in such manner as may now
or hereafter be prescribed by the Blu
reau of Animal Industry of the Unit

The local agent of the railroad IS.
also required in this bill to provide

ed with the stock was disinfected and
cleaned before the stock Was loaded

Its position is conspicuous in contrast

local educational plant and issue an
ultimatum of "ha1ds off" to other sec
lions of the state.
