ward Of their victory over Bulgaria, and
collecting it almost Immediately.
The news that Serbians had taken the
city of Divra was rather startling when
the war map is consulted. It means that
the Serbians are cutting across Albania
far to the rear of the Austrian army, al
ready hard pressed by the Italians This
Austrian army is the only enemy force left
south of the Danube, now that the Bulgar-
ian army is definitely demobilized, and
provided the dispatch telling Of the with
drawal of German troops fighting with
the Bulgarian forces refers to all German
forces in Bulgaria, which it apparently
did.
If the Austrian army is cut off, as ap-
pears very probable, there will be nothing
to prevent the Allies establishing the new
line, not at Nish and Sofia, but along the
Danube on the Austrian border.
Bulgaria, moreover, has notified the
Central Powers that they must get their
troops out Of Bulgaria within thirty days
That means Bulgaria may be forced into
the position Of fighting for the privilege
Of surrendering if her former allies do not
obey her orders.
The complete evacuation of Albania,
Montenegro, Serbia and Bulgaria, would
make the evacuation of Rumania neces-
sary, and within thirty days it would not
be surprising to see Allied and Rumanian
forces preparing the invasion of Austria
Hungary across the Danube and through
the Carpathians. Serbian forces are now
within 100 miles of the Danube at one
point.

Efforts of the Socialists who rule North
Dakota to gain the approval or recogni-
ton of the Wilson administration, have
been cruelty rebuffed again
Like a pup which has met polecat
our Socialist friends are friendly but un-

hangs about them still, despite the liberal
protestations of friendship for the admin

Secretary Baker is the latest to admin
lister kick in the ribs to the unwelcome

reputable weekly sister, are liars. He
phrases it more gently, but there is no diff
hculty in getting his drift, and we admire
his perspicacity.

Iere it is:
In Flanders fields the peoples grow
Between the crosses, row,
That marks our place and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing fly,
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We the dead short days ago
We lived, felt dawn. sunset glow,
Loved and were loved and we lie

The torch be yours to hold it high!
If We break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though peoples grow
In Flanders fields.

Sunday Excuses.

What do you do with your Sun
days? That is an important question
from the standpoint of health.
Too many people undo the good
work of weeks right living, by a
regular food and sleep debauch on
| the Sabbath. Not that we wish to
deprive anyone, not even ourselves,
of the satisfactory little extra morn
ing nap, or the pleasure of a leisure
| ly breakfast. Nevertheless, the fact
remains that even to live the rigor-
Gus life of monk six days of the
week will not keep one well If on the
seventh day all habits of health are
cast to the devil. L.. .-
The question of lying abed on
Sunday morning" naturally comes
first. While, perhaps. it is less
| harmful to get trifle too much sleep
than too little, there is no good in
staying in bed It'll noon" The many
who have fallen in this habit admit
themselves that they get up feeling
drowsy, sluggish and out of sorts.
Next comes the question of eating
Most of us eat, as we say, a heavier
breakfast on Sunday morning than
we do week days. when, as a rule, we
snatch our breakfast along with our
hat in a frantic effort to be at work
on time.
But there is no harm in eating q
little more substantial morning meal
on Sunday for then we have, or
ought to have, more time to eat, and
consequently more time to enjoy our
food and one must enjoy his food to
derive any benefit from it.
1t is overeating later in the day
that is dangerous. There are many
people who eat whenever they do not
know what else to do. Sunday for
them might aptly be termed a deli
catessen delight. At the same time
it spells doom so far as their health
is concerned. If Sunday afternoon or
evening seems woefully long, al
though it should not, and your feet
start straying for the pantry for lack
of anywhere else to go, then get out
and walk. Whatever else you do,
don't get into the child's habit of
"piecing".
Don't take your business cares
home with you Saturday night and
brood over them Sunday. The sew
enth day is meant for rest and rec
reation for the busy business man as
well as for any one else. Planning a
deal on Sunday may put a few more
dollars in your pocket, but it is also
just as likely to cut a decade out of
your life.
Worry breeds poisons in the hui
man body that are just as bad for it,
and just as harmful to health, as the
poisons~ that come from impure food
or disease. But just because you are
not to think about business does not
mean that you should let your brain
become stagnant over Sunday. 1t
takes interest in things to keep one
elastic, responsive and resourceful
not only mentally, but physically.
Find something of interest that viii
take you out doors and into the sum
shine. If there is nothing else to do
look forward to a walk to some
friends house. When evening finds
you home again find some form of
diversion that will keep you inter-
ested and your mind active until bed
time comes around, but do not make
any of these things seem like work
ing schedule that you feel you must
follow. There is little pleasure, and
but small benefit, when you spend
your Sunday in that spirit.

Here it is:

ITO amend Section 176 of Acticle II as
amended by article 20 of amendments, by
emitting the words, And shall be levied and
collected for public purposes only"
There is more to the amendment but it
will be considered in a later editorial, for
it is we'll to keep this single point clear.
The Socialists would eliminate for
public purposes only" from the restric-
tions about the collection and expenditure
of taxes
Why should the Socialists want to elm
mate these words?
The only possible reason is that they
stand between Mr.. Townley and his I. W.
W. associates and the public treasury.
In what way?
Mr.. Townley nows owns or controls
about forty newspapers in North Dakota
1t is doubtful if one of them is making
money or even meeting expenses. They
are outrageously overcapitalized, and in
many cases VIGOROUSLY mismanaged by
paid employees who are looking only for
a comfortable weekly salary check.
Then there are the Townley stores for
which 100000 had been collected at last
count, and less than 100000 actually in
vested in the stores or pledged for future
investment, the remainder going to the
"education and propaganda fund.- for
such items as $1,000 checks to the Nonpar-
tisan league and either directly, or indi-
rectly through fat salary, for "educat-
ing" Mr.. Brinton during a winter spent
in Florida.
Other reasons might be the Townley
banks and the Townley League exchange,
and any other Townley enterprise that
may be organized in the future and be-
come Improbable.
AS long as "for public purposes only"
stands in the way, these cannot be I'M
loaded on the state.
When these words are eliminated from
the constitution, picture, oh gentle reader,
what might happen with Fellow Worker"
LeSueur directing all legislation at Bis
marck as he did two years ago.
One amendment takes the limit off the
amount of money that may be raised.
The other takes the limit off the ways
it shall be expended. "
In plain English, they can raise all the
money they want and spend it the way
they please.

FOR PUBLIC PURPOSES ONLY"

Now that the Socialist newspapers of
the state have admitted the truth of The
Forum charge that the proposed consti-
tutional amendments no not fix the new
debt limit at $12,OO0,000 but remove it
entirely, there is need of a thorough IN
derstanding of another of the amend
ments, not a whit less vicious or less dan
gerous.

Rice a La South Carolina.

No food, regardless of its merits, will
appeal TO the consumer unless it can
be made into an attractive dish. In
this country rice usually comes to the
table as an uninviting. glutinous mass,
except in certain sections of the South
ern states, where it is served with each
grain distinct and separate, making a
very tempting and appetizing dish. A
platter heaped with loose, flaky kerr
pels Of rice is not only pleasing to the
aye, but satisfying to the APPETITE. 1t
b very probable that the attractive APP
pearance of this dish on the South
Carolina table has had much to do
with the popularity and usefulness OF
rice in that state.
In seeking information on the art of
cooking rice. no mistake is made In re-
ferring to South Carolina, where the
true value Of this cereal has been ap-
preciated f5r over two centuries. a"A
Carolina housewife would advise the
using of one pint of rice, after thor
ough washing, which she considers i'm
portant, ito quart and pint Of wa
ter" and teaspoonful of common
salt This is to be boiled over quick
fire for ten minutes, stirring occasion
ally Then pour off all or nearly all
the water; cover the vessel and put
over very slow fire, and allow it to
steam for Is minutes at least, stirring
occasionally. The rice will be soft or
grainy, according to the quantity of
water left on it when put to steam, and
the length of time allowed in the
steaming. The larger the quantity OF
water and the shorter the steaming
the softer will be the rice"
OF course, other methods are used In
boiling rice or at least notifications OF
the recipe given, but 1t must be re
membered that the results should not
be a glutinous mass and that success
depends upon the proper amount OF
water used and the length OF time ir
| steaming.

O'Connor Cites History in
Connection With Troubles
of the People of Ireland

If the Irish rebellion had not been
followed by its sequel it would have
been by this time forgotten and con-
demned by the vast majority Of the
Irish people; but, as a matter Of fact,
writes T. p. O'Connor in Cartoons
Magazine, when the rebellion was put
down by one Of those extraordinary
blunders so often committed in the
management Of Ireland by England.
dictatorial powers were given into the
hands of soldier of not particularly
marked intelligence. He declared he
was going to put down sedition and re-
bellion in Ireland forever. Well, If
he had read any Irish history he
would have known that that had been
said for six centuries. He then pro-
ceeded, in secrecy, in the darkness OF
cells, convicting ON evidence not yet
published, these unfortunate young
| men, and then taking them out in
patches in the cold, bleak morning and
executing them in the back yard Of a
jail. One of them was so severely
wounded that he had to have planks
put on each side of the chair on which
| he had to sit while he was being shot.
| All these executions produced pro-
found revulsion of feeling in Ireland
and in America.
Now, that is the beginning of the
trouble in Ireland. If you read history
you will find that there has never been
| anything SO incalculable in its effects
upon the human soul as an execution
| for an ideal.
