Of the American people.

TheLie
BY Or. FRANK CRANE
Copyright. 1915. by Frank Crane)

The other week | saw two shows-one
a play called The Fugitive" written by
John Gasworthy and performed by En-
lily Stevens; the other photoplay Gods
Man" with Bronson Howard as author
and II. b. Warner as leading man.
They were both eXquisitely perform
ed, interesting, even gripping. They
both were plays with a message. You
felt there was a purpose. gospel of
some sort in the authors mind he want
ed to set forth.
And they were both lies
Not nice, entertaining, mildly diverting
and tonic lies, but plausible. dangerous,
and vicious lies.
The lie in the Galsworthy play con-
sisted in the theory that there is no
chance for a woman to succeed or to be-
happy if she deserts husband that is
offensive and tries to make her way by
her own resources. and that all she can
do in such case is TO sell her body. The
world, the plain inference from the play
was, will not tolerate pretty woman
nor yield 10 her its rewards unless she
sacrifices her virtue.
OF course a beautiful woman is likely
TO be tempted, and the road TO he'll will
be made easier for her than the path
of decency. But she does Aot have to
yield To say that she does Is to re-
peat the everlasting whine Of the weak
and morbid This world has plenty Of
prizes for the charming woman who is
loyal, true and fine. But she has to fight
for them, like the rest of us.
The trouble with Mr.. Galsworthy's
heroine is not the wicked, respectable
folk that conspired to crush her, but it
is that she is a combination fool and
weaklng That kind of a woman has
no business rebelhng. The place for the
sloppy. self-pitying sou is inside the
gates of responsibility When such little
lambs get out of the pasture the wolves
usually get them.
Mr. Warner attempted 10 show US that
to be helpful straight and generous Is TO
be crucitied Maybe so. But we cannot
resist the feeling that the young gentle
man portrayed was not Gods Fool" but
just common garden fool If he had
mixed few cents worth Of ordinary IN
telligence with his large amount Of
grand and noble ideals he would not have
come TO grief.
People are very ready to indict virtue
and kindness and justice for the defects
Of their minds and wills There's moth
ing the matter with the eternal verities
Of virtue, but Weddings who think they
can afford cheap and easy road to hap
piness are doomed TO disappointment.
To be good successfully you have to
be great.
Let the little souls stick to the conven-
tons. they were made for just such.

With 'DANDERINE'
SPEND IS cENTsI DANDRUFF DIS.
APPEARS AND HAIR STOPS
COMING OUT.
TRY THIsI HAIR GETS REAUTI.
Full, WAvY AND THICK IN
FEW MOMENTS.

II you care for heavy hair, that
glistens with beauty and is radiant
with life; has an Incompatible soft
ness and is fluffy and lustrous. try
Danderine.
Just one application doubles the
beauty OF your hair, besides it imme-
diately dissolves' every particle of
dandruff; you cannot have nice, heavy,
healthy hair If you have dandruff.
This destructive scurf robs the hair
Of its lustre, it's strength and its very
life. and If not overcome 1t produces
a feverishness and itching of the
scalp; the hair roots famish, loosen
and die; then the hair falls out fast.
If your hair has been neglected and
is thin. faded, dry, scraggy or too
oily, get 25-cent bottle Of Knowl-
toms Dandertne at any drug store or
toilet counter; apply little as direct
ed and ten minutes after you will say
this was the best investment you ever
made. ...
We sincerely believe, regardless Of
everything else advertised, that If you
desire soft. lustrous, beautiful hair
and lots Of it-no dandrufE-no itching
scalp and no more falling hair-you
must use Knowlton's Danderine. II

STUDENTS VISIT
X-RAY LABORATORY
Power Machinery Graduates of A. c..
Pay Visit to St. Johns Hospital
Plant

The graduating members of the
powr machinery course Of the North
Dakota Agricultural college, accom-
panied by Messrs. Davis and Rusfeldt
and Instructor Corbett were given the
privilege of a visit to the X-ray lab
oratory of st. Johns hospital last
evening, where they were given a
thorough demonstration Of this won
derful plant.
There was nothing about this splen-
did equipment that was not demon
strated, the Sisters interns and nurs-
es not on duty taking great pleasure
in making the wonders of the equip
ment known to the students of the col
lege who, with their instructors, great.
ly appreciate the courtesy shown
them. ~
The x-ray equipment Of st. Johns
hospital is the most modern machine
in the northwest, having one new piece
Of equipment by which it is possible
to actually see ones heart beat, and
watch the lungs in operation. 1t was
sight long to be remembered. and
seldom seen by the average person.
Another piece Of equipment that
held the attention of the power ma
chinery students and which was thor
oughly- explained to them was the new
type of electric passenger elevator in
the new nurses home, which is
controlled very simply and with great
safety. This was demonstrated in de-
tail to the students.
The visitors appreciated the oppor-
tuntty of inspection and were delight
ed with the courtesy shown them and
later voted st. Johns hospital as one
Of the most interesting spots in the
CITY
