You were taught at school
that your body undergoes a
complete change Of structure
every seven years.
This tearing down and build
ing up process of body tissue
continues without a moment s
pause throughout life.
And when a man gets into a
physical condition that the It's
sues keep breaking down and
wasting away faster than NS-
ture can replace them, right
then he begins to grow ''oid''.
This doesn't necessarily
mean, however, that he has
reached an advanced age.
Thousands upon thousands of
people begin to break down,

they fail to give Nature, at

SPORTING GOODS

HITTING ON HIGH

Chicago. March 31--Prices Of prac-
1icsslly every class Of sporting goods
are from 10 to 80 per cent higher than
Im 1918 according to a schedule just
ISSUED by osle. of the largest manufac-
guEeT>. The chief reasons advanced
are the 10 per cent war tax on sport
ing goods which recently became effec
tive. and the high cost of material and
labor. - a&
Manufacturers declare that it was
their intention TO reduce prices on
humber of articles but that the war
tax made this impracticable. Since
1915 prices have increased more than
100 per cent on a majority Of articles.
Basebails and bats are about the
only sporting goods articles which have
not been increased in price this year.
One Chicago authority said prices On
these would have been reduced had the
war tax not leen' levied Insteaid Of
reducing the price manufacturers com
promised by maintaining last years

HIGH EXPECTORATIONS

Army canteen figures recently compiled show
that IS per cent of the enlisted men smoke; some
so per cent prefer the cigaret; the rest cling to
the old dudeen despite its many disadvantages;
as those who have tried to net an eightounce pipe
in form fitting uniform may testify.
Where on earth have all the old time Amer-
cans gone? We refer to the generation that par
took Of eating tobacco.
From colonial days the quid was the American
brand. Our English visitors, who came over and
gazed upon our spittoons, went home duly i'm
pressed, and some Of the brightest chapters in
foreign books Of travel of the day those deal
ing with the American back-woodsman's ability to
drown the syly peering rat in his corner 40 rods,
or was it feet, away?
What has become of the old fashioned saint,
who sat in the amen corner and browsed on his
cud through the service with nary one spit?
Can it be that the rural stoves no longer hiss
through the winter nights?
Are the relative merits Of fine cut, and honey
dew twist, and natural leaf, and cabin hunk no
loneer discussed by experts?
Has one Of our fine old pioneer customs gone,
never to return?

THEY HAVE A SANE PERSPECTIVE

Sitting on the sidelines and taking an impair
tial squint at the situation it sure does become
evident that our returned soldiers aren't at all
spoiled by the adulation and praise showered upon
them and it is absolutely certain they've net let
themselves be RUNE dior further work in the world
simply because they are heroes and have had the
biggest sort of experience that men can posi- ::
Right now they are displaying the most coHi-
mendable attitude. They are all getting off Inc
old uniforms and getting back into cts just as
quickly as the law allows. That old time stuff of
parading around in the uniforms for days and
weeks and months and even years after the dis
charge is strictly nix these days. Now it's the
stuff to stow away the old khaki and not wear It
any more, even on Sundays when the regular cali
is made on the best little girl in the world who IS
simply crazy about the army.
f And, too, right now our doughboys are dis
playing an anxiety to get back to job whi'
speaks we'll for their proper perspectives and
general sanity All Of them, almost without ex-
ception, seem to realize thoroughly that the war
is finished and that it doesn't have to be fought
over and over again on street corners and other
gathering places. They all seem to realize thor
oughy that there are big punches of work to be
done by them in the world, even though they have
performed life's work in year SO, and they're
showing the rightest sort Of spirit in being anx-
ious to get back to it and in hopping to it heartily
when they do get back. ~
Say, when it comes to clear thinking, hard
fighting, ambitious youths, we'll stack our dough-
boys up against the best the world has eve" seen
and win over em all, hands down!

TOWNLEY's REWARD FOR SERVICE

Attorney General LANCER still claims that he
is loyal friend Of the Nonpartisan league pro-
gram. Each day some new fact arises to, give the
lie to this claim. LANCER is not simply against
two or three of the measures enacted by the egis-
lature; he is against the whole program He is
now the chief agent Of big business in it's effort
to keep North Dakota still in industrial bondage to
the Twin Cities. ....- II ssas4.
The latest development; the attack On the con-
stutonality of the bond bills is sufficient proof
of this fact. It may be true that Mr.. LANCER him.
self does not openly sponsor this attack it comes,
however, from his office, and therefore, with his
sanction And it proves the deeply reasonable
nature of this self-seeking lawyer who claims to
be the "friend' of the farmers, for the farmers
looked to him, more, perhaps, than to any other
man, while the bills were in caucus, for legal
guidance, and if the bills lacking in any legal
technicaity, why did he not advise them?
The bills are, Of course, constitutional. Mr..
LANCER is attacking them only because his new
masters in the Twin Cities command it. Just a
few days before Mr.. LANCER came out openly
against the men who had trusted and elected him
he was closeted in St. Paul, according to the Dis
patch, for long interview with Richard Lilly,
president of the Merchants National bank of that
city. Mr.. Lilly refused to tell the reporter what
was the subject of conversation. Did it have to
do with the attack Mr.. LANCER almost Immediately
made on the Consumers Store company, coinci-
dently with the raising of that big fund by Twin
Cities jobbers? Did it refer to this present at
tempt to weaken the states credit, by declaring
the bond bills unconstitutional? Or was MIR. Lam
ger perhaps engaged in borrowing the $1,000
which he so generously offers to pay anyone who
can secure conviction during his term of office
on the charge of illegal conspiracy against the
Consumers company?
At any rate, whatever their subject of conver-
sation, Mr.. Langer's subsequent attitude has
proved that he and Mr.. Lilly have very much IN
