HOW TO STOKE A MOST WONDER
Full MACHINE.

The human body is the most wonder
full machine ever created or made.
1t is in some respects like steam
engine. 1t gets its, power and performs
its work by consuming, by burning
,lp certain food materials. 1t has been
demonstrated that food consumed in
the human body produces as much
heat as though burned outside OF the
human body by ordinary fire. Then,
in other respects, the marvellous human
machine is unlike the steam engine.
The Human machine will not continue
/. to operate for any considerable.lengti
of time unless supplied. with different
kinds of food, whereas single kind
of fuel is all-sufficient for the steam
engine.
A human being with nothing but
bread to eat would not live very long,
and the same is true of several other
kinds of food.
All human foods contain certain
quantities of either carbohydrate, pro-
tein or fat, and in some foods, milk
for illustration, all three OF these life
sustaining substances are found.
When everyone knows how to eat
meals of properly balanced portions
OF carbohydrate, protein and fat human
suffering will be reduced and human
life prolonged.
The nurses engaged in school work
could broaden their field of usefulness,
by teaching dietctics, which is the ar:
of eating so as to retain or attain
perfect health.
Those who want to keep the old
man with the scythe far away from
them, can do SO by eating properly
and mixing sunshine with their blood
and taking the winds into their pulses.

Portraiture on Jewels.

Probably the best bit of portraiture
done on any Jewel is that of the head
Of Mithridates, the ancient king of
Pontus. This deep violet image was
discovered many years ago in India.

Senator Borahs statement in Satur-

Prefacing his remarks by reading
the letter in which President Harding,
1,044 days after the armistice, urges
an early expression of approval and

Lodge said in praise of the treaty what
hitherto its sharpest critics have SAID
of it by way of denunciation For its

commends it.

to accompany home the remains OF
Rev. and Mrs. VIM. B. Gage, who were

LAND VALUES
CUT PLANNED
State Board of Equalization To
Make Decrease General

A reduction in land values, proba-
bly, 10 per cent or more, will be made
by the state board Of equalization, ac-
cording to George e. Wallace, state tax
commissioner. South Dakota recent
ly reduced values about 10 per cent,
he said.
The state board, discussing the
question of land values, accepted the
tax commissioner recommendation
for reduction in values in the ID
counties west and south of the Mis-
souri, river, because of poor crop con-
ditions. The reduction, Mr.. Wallace
said, ranged from 10 to Is per cent.
Valuations of the counties of Bur-
leigh, Emmons, Logan, Mcintosh and
Kidder also are to be cut somewhat
less than the counties west of the

case in which the Hughes Electric
company seeks to en1oin the sheriff

NEW ENROLMENT.
MARK EXPECTED
IN HIGH HI SCHOOL.
Superintendent Martin Believes
Total Number of Students
May Reach 400
TEACHERS LIST COMPLETE
Last Contracts Made Yesterday,
Superintendent Said; Pre-
pairing For Opening

Enrolment in the Bismarck High
School is expected to reach a new high
mark before the coming school year
! is ended, Superintendent }. NJ. Martin
said today, after a canvass OF the siuu-
alton. Mr.. Martin expects 400 stu
dents in the high school before the
year is ended although the enrollmen:
will not be that large at the start
, 1t reached about 800 last year.
One uncertain factor is the effect
Of the new state law which provides
that townships from which student
living outside of city comes shall pay
$500 per month tuition to the city
school, provided the student lives in
Burleigh county and high school fac
ilities are not furnished in the town.
ship. Pupils planning to come to Bis
marck high have been advised to con-
suit their township board to prevent
delays in getting started to school.
Many students coming to the high
school are preparing to wDrk for
their board or room or both. Superin-
tendent Martin is now making up a
list of persons who desire high school
girls or boys to work for room and
board during the school year. Last
year there were SO students in the
high school from outside Bismarck.
Teachers List Complete
The teachers list was completed
yesterday, Mr.. Martin said. Five res
ignations had been received in the
last two months, since all teachers
were engaged. None Of those who re-
signed were teachers who. had been
here last year and had signed con-
tracts for 1921-1922, he said. Only one
of the new high school teachers en-
gagged will not come. He is L. A.
Cluley, engaged as teacher OF COM
mercial work and athletic director.
Peter T. Swanish, OF Minneapolis,
prominent athlete Of the University OF
Minnesota, will be commercial teach
er and athletic director. ...
Because Of the new state minimum
wage law, which has the effect of
increasing salaries, the corps of teach
ers will be above the average in pre-
vious experience, according to the su-
perintendent. A ma jority of the teach
ers have had at least five years ex-
perience, he said. The teachers will
gather in teachers meeting on Septem-
ber S; the schools open on Septem-
ber 6.
Some Repairs Made
During thte summer some repairs
have been made to the various
buildings. The Junior high school
quarters in the North Ward school
were enlarged to take in part of the
old chemistry room when it was the
high school. The concrete floors Of
the new Richholt school were paint
ed to prevent dust and the kinder
garten was repainted.
A new grade has been added TO
the Richh0lt school, the seventh
grade, which will be taught by Miss
Agnes Boyle, principal. Miss Dora
Wallen, of Volga, S. D., will teach
the sixth grade, which was taught
last year by Miss Boyle.
The general enrolment OF the
schools is expected to show an in
crease over last year.
