Dear Father and Mother and Kids:
l left Wagner last Friday evening
so did not have time to get any letter
you might have sent in answer to my
last one from here.
Out of Malta and vicinity, includ-
ing Wagner, Malta has a population
of about 1900, rs of us young fell
lows signed up and enlisted last Fri
day. The town gave us a big banquet
and dance and comfort kit for each
from the Red Cross ladies. 1t is my
honest opinion that our county in
proportion to population, leads all
others i'm the state for enlistment and
the far lead of all other states
l have enlisted for the goth
Engineers and although I am
not sure Just where l will be, l
do not think l will be kept long in
the West. 1t is my idea 1 will be in
Washington, D. c., before long. 1
was the only one of our bunch that
took up this branch and it was only
on account of my long experience in
the woods and lumber game that I
was admitted. OF course, l will have
to pass a final physical examination
but l passed here with such flying
colors, l have little fear of being
turned down.
l have rented a safety deposit box
from the Commercial National Bank,
of Great Falls, number $50 and have
deposited the following papers and
valuables and am enclosing keys
herewith.
(Here Mr.. Swanson lists his yalu-
ables and among them are the follow

it. The Forum has been trying for months
to goad Mr.. LANCER into bringing this hear
ing without success.
Mr.. Packard expresses a wish to con-
tinue the discussion. The Forum is quite
willing to discuss any Of the amendments
with Mr.. Packard within the limits of the
space permitted by very rigid government
paper regulations. We would suggest first
that Mr.. Packard tell us why the amend
ments were born amid such secrecy, and
why they were not openly discussed at
some form of constitutional convention
held within the state, instead Of being
drafted by Bill HayWoodB fellow work
err, Arthur LIE Sueur. That might pave
the way to the kind Of discussion Mr..
Packard seeks. Our present constitution,
which they seek to change, was drawn after
IS days Of open discussion, by some of the
biggest, best informed, and most reputable
men who ever came to North Dakota to
make their homes and not by 73-cent taa-
payers working in secret and afraid even
to father their child publicly.

MUST CONE FROM BOTTOM.

The present German government appears
to believe that democracy can be imposed
on the nation from the top
1t can t be done
1t must work from the bottom upward
What liberties the present government
gives or will give, can be taken away again
when the necessity for granting them is
removed.
The men who tore up the Belgian treaty
as scrap Of paper would not hesitate to
tear up any agreements made with their
own people the moment they thought it
safe to do so.
Any peace that is acceptable to the pres
ent German government should not be ac-
eeptable to the Allies, unless it is the peace
following unconditional surrender in all
that it implies

WHERE WE ERRED.

Our Socialist contemporary takes The
Forum to task for stating that Mr.. Brinton,
the manager of the consumers stores was
passing his honeymoon in Florida.
The Forum admits it made the grave
error of accepting the statement Of The
Courier-News that A1r. Brinton and his
bride had left to pass the winter in Florida.
That was where we, got the information,
for Mr.. Brinton does not take us into his
confidence very freely, and we thought it
safe to accept the statement of his own
press agent.
Possibly the little matter of the $4,000
check and the threatened investigation"
which the president of the stores company
no longer seems to desire, brought Mr.
Brinton back from the Sunny South sooner
than he had expected to return.

Three Children
Burn TO Death

Minot, N. D., Oct. 2l.-Three chill
dren, daughters of Mr.. and Mrs. Will
liam Hardness, were burned to death
in a fire that destroyed their farm
residence near Norma. N. D., accord
ing to word received here.
Six of the family of nine children
were saved.
When the parents awakened, they
found the upper part of the residence
in flames. The six children were
arousd and made their way down
stairs, but it was necessary to use
a ladder in reaching the others. Just
as the father was within few feet
OF the window sill, while climbing
to save the children, the house fell
in, and the parents heard their three
babies screaming as they went to
death in the flames.
hour later the charred bodies
were recovered from the ruins. Two
of the cremated girls were twins, and
the other was 8 years old.

Care Of the Milk.

Householders must cooperate
with the dairyman if the milk de-
livered at the house each day is to
remain pure and sweet. Milk pros
duced under the most ordinary con-
ditions may become contaminated, il
lit is not handled properly after the
milkman makes his rounds.
Where the milk is delivered early
in the morning a box should be pro-
vided for into which the milk bottles
may be placed. If the milk is left
on the porch it collects dust and dirt,
attracts flies and increases in tenn
perature. Dogs and cats may have
access to it.
The milk should be taken into the
house as soon as possible and placed
in cool place, preferably in an ice
box. The cooler it is kept the longer
lit will stay sweet. Germs are the
cause OF the changes which take
place in milk. If the milk is kept
cold, the germs increase in number
very slowly.
Milk should be kept in the original
bottle until used. The bottle should
be cleaned before pouring out the
milk. The cap should be removed by
a clean fork or some other sharp in
strument. Pushing the cap in with
the fingers is liable to contaminate
the milk. After the cap has been re-
moved the bottle should be covered
with tumbler.
AS soon as the milk bottle is emp
tied, rinse in lukewarm water until
1t appears clean. Use fresh, clean
water and not dishwater that has
been used for washing other uten-

The same care should be taken of 1t

Constipation.
Mrs. y. III. II: One very large
factor in the causation of constipa-
ton is the fact that our usual diet
contains too small an amount of in
digestible material Increased bulk
should be secured. Rye, graham and
bran breads with green vegetables
of all kinds, both cooked and raw.
are to be employed freely, as are
also the fruits, Mineral oils in doses
up to or even beyond three table
spoonfuls daily may prove helpful
Its action is mechanical, preventing
the contents of the bowel from be-
coming too hard and dry,and thus
facilitating their passage. There
are many preparations of mineral
oil NIL equally good.
lehthyosia or "Fish Skin"
]. s.: You are probably suffering
from the disease called ichthyosis
commonly called fish skim This
disease is not contagious and can Be
improved by the use of an ointment
containing about per cent oil OF
cade. This treatment should be car
ried out by your family physician.

In The Open Forum
A Column Devoted To The Task OF Keep.
Ing Up With North Dakota Editors

The Sentinel Butte Republican, in the follow
ing editorial predicts 500 majority for Doyle in
that county:
We have been told by leaguers that the
league meeting at Westerheim drew a very
small crowd last week. If this be a fact
and it came from members, it would seem
that the enthusiasm is strictly on the
wane, and that too, in what is considered
one Of the league strongholds of the county
A eauge meeting was scheduled to take
place in Sentinel Butte on Friday evening
but was called off on account of the "fu"
scare. But before that fact was known by
Ieaguers of this vicinitp, only about dozen
came in to attend the meeting. This almost
makes us believe that the estimate of this
county going 500 majority for Mr.. Doyle is
correct.
