THE 1RUANT SOUL"
DRAWS LARGE CROWDS
BY r BROWN

THE Truant Soul" the Essanay
m~asterpicture, featuring the renown-
ed Harry Walthall, which was shown
at the Bismarck and Orpheum the
aters last night, drew capacity houses.
1t is one of the most remarkable pho
todramas ever presented. The audi
ences last evening sat tense while the
eight reefs unfolded this picture
which contains the best and most es-
sential ingredients which go to make
an ideal cinematic melodrama.
When Henry Walthall said his role
of DR.. Lancaster in "The Truant
SOUP was his best effort, those who
have seen him in "The Birth of a
Nation" and The Avenging Con-
science" wondered, but after viewing
his work last night, the great artist
knew best. The picture will be shown
again this evening at the Bismarck
theater only. Manager Bauer of the
Orpheum has changed his program to
a five reel film featuring June Caprice
and a two reel Fox comedy.

BOARD MAKES
PATRIOTIC APPEAL
TO THE RAILWAYS
Asks That Proposed Fifteen Per
Cent Increase Be Dropped
in Present Emergency.

Resolutions pray ing that the rail
riOtism do not nov seek to place In
effect the fifteen per cent freight in
crease for which they have petitiOned
the interstate commerce commission
were introduced by the North Dakota
rail board at the conference Of ship
pers and state railway commissions
held last week in Chicago.
The resolutions set forth the fact
that the nation 10 is seeking to
marshal all its in the in.
crease of food products to meet mill
tary necessity; that North Dakota
and other agricultural states are
making every effort to cooperate in
this undertaking, and that prelimin.
airy estimates of the cost to North
Dakota farmers Of the proposed fl
teen per cent advance show that it
would amount to ar additional an
nual tax equivalent to the entire tax
levy for state purposes for two years.
Such a tax on agricultural products,
the North Dakota commission urged,
would not tend to encourage increas-
ed production in North Dakota or
elsewhere in the United States.
"Therefore." conclude the resolutions,
I'VE believe that no increase in rates
should be granted except after a full
hearing and justification before the
interstate m commission"
"This enormous increase in freight
revenues" said a member Of the
board this morning. at is estimated
will total more than $3.50. 900 900 an.
nually, an added tax on the American
people of nearly 81, 900, 600 a day. The
financial condition of the United
States railroads for the year 1916 is
the most favorable in their history;
the net earnings for 1916 exceed
those for 1913 by more than $4,000.
900. and exceed the net earnings for
any other year in their entire history
by more than 5000, 900 600. The sense
of the Chicago meeting seemed to be
that the railroads should be assured
such as would enable them
to meet increased operating expenses
but that in the present emergency
they should not ask for q penny more
than needed. >.',

Plea Made For American
Women TO Conserve Bread
BY WlNONA WILCOX.

BY WiNONA WILCOX.
One hundred million bushels Of
wheat a year!
The women Of America can pre-
sent that much to the nation
without spending q cent or plant
ing a square foot Of ground.
All they have to do is to stop using
white bread, made OF bleached flour
which has been deprived of the grain
germ and of. valuable mineral salts,
and serve whole wheat bread instead.
And this would be no hardship,
but a positive gain, for the discarded
material is exceedingly wholesome,
and those who have the habit, insist
that it greatly improves the taste.
D%feticians have long urged US to
make this change but we haven't tax
en- their advice very seriously.
Now, however, there is an urgent
reason for undertaking this change
at once. The wheat crop has not
been I'VE large this year. This coun-
try needs wheat. Our allied need
wheat, and we must begin in earnest
to think about saving it. This merely
means getting used to it.
Food, like a good many other
things, is very much a matter Of ia
shion and habit. ...t.
II a few ultra.smart women
would just begin by giving some
brown bread teas, and by serv-
ing corn mullins at dinner, we
would all want to get into line
at once, and before we knew it,
would be eating graham bread
with ice cream and thinking we
were enormously sophisticated.
With the fashion once established,
habit would soon follow in its wake
and we could thus aid u digestions
and our country at the same time.
One of the National unions has
just organized a home guard" of
who cannot enlist for active
fighting, but who will form a plant
an-acre army" They argue that the
can manufacture bullets,
out it can't manufacture food. So
each man viii do his bit" with an
acre Of wheat or vegetables.
Without stepping outside their
doors the women can become a
home guard for the conservation
Of food resources by taking up
the whole wheat propaganda.
1t seems a trifling matter, but il
every woman would do her bit she
could add this very appreciate
amount to this years wheat crop,
and thus contribute materially to the
resources of the nation.
