"BLUSHING VENUS"
FOUND IN AFRICA
New Discovery Rivals Her
Sister of Milo.

RGme.-A new Venus which may at
tract the homage of the world away
from the better known Venus de Milo,
now in the Louvre at Paris, has been
uncovered beneath the shifting sand
dunes OF a north African desert.
Ii is the Bushing Venus" a
charming, timid creature in stone that
has lain beneath the sands of TripolI
since Septis Magma. the magnificent
city of the Emperor Septimus Serve
rus, was overwhelmed centuries ago
by the rolling dunes and disappeared
from sight.
So aluring are the coy charms Of
the Blushing Venus" that the Italian
government plans to erect hotel at
the village of Hons, three miles dis
tant from the ancient city, to care
for American and other tourists who
may be lured to see a craven beauty
fit to sit beside the Capitoline Venus
or the Venus de Milo.
Statue Is Intact.
The blushing one equals, Ii it does
not surpass, the Melos Venus, which
is the standard Of perfect feminine
proportion. Unlike the famous sister,
the Blushing Venus" is intact, and
its finders declare it to be one of
the finest examples of Grecian art.
The lines are full of grace and the
figure amplifies the beauty of the hui
man form with fascinating charm.
The face somewhat resembles the
Capitoline Venus and shows a Ro-
man beauty's facial contour with del
icate finesse.
"The Blushing Venus head is
turned slightly and gently bowed. por-
traying the modesty the artist intend
ed to depict in his bashful subject.
Two strands of hair hang gracefully
over each shoulder One arm is re-
Taxed across the breast and the other
hangs naturally. There is a shrinking
bunch in the shoulders, accentuating
the spirit of modesty. The arms and
legs are sculptured with delicate at
tention to anatomy, with the right leg
Slightly genunected and relaxed. The
left leg is rigid and supports the
weight of the body.
Find Other Art Works.
Beside the African Venus a winged
Victory was discovered, decapilated by
the rough usage of time, but one Of
the great examples of Greek ert, new
ertheless. The statue is a life-size re-
production of Victory, female figure
with folds of drapery hanging about it.
Hundreds of other statues have been
uncovered beneath the sand dunes that
cover the site of the former great city.

to be conducted next month by the Greater Nortl!
Dakota association, which is sponsoring five year
state development program which aims to spend
$l50,000 in advertising North Dakota
North Dakota has received great volumes of free

publicity. The net results of this free al

money loss incurred by unfavorabe publicity about
North Dakota is placed at from $500o,0oo to 1000
900 a year.
The urgent need of campaign to restore the good

further elaboration. This project should get the
enthusiastic support of every tradesman, merchant
and business IT is this class which hit

The Wheat Prices.of 1917

in 1917. He says, and apparently proves his

price fixing policy for the price that was fixed
All these years Mr. Hoover has carried the burden
of blame and has been held by the farmers as the
man who prevented them making still greater profits
from their wheat
According to the disclosures which make interest
ing reading this government discovered in 1917 an
agreement among the European Allies to pay the
American farmer not more than $50 bushel for
wheat. They had formed buying agency to serve
all of them. American wheat producers were to be
narrowed to one foreign customer who alone could
or would buy for export They could take the pric@
offered or leave it alone 1t was then the United
States government stepped in with an arbitrary
fixed price which caused great deal of hard feel

ON HEALTH-
WATCH DIET OF YOUR CHILDREN
CLOSELY
He does not get enough sleep.

He does not get enough sleep.
He suffers from habitual con-
stipation.
he gets too many motion pictures
and other evening entertainments.
He plays too hard for too many
hours.
He is overworked in school or out.
Malnutrition may also be caused
and aggravated by decayed teeth,
enlarged or dileased tonsils and
adenolds.
In places where malaria or hook
worm are present malnutrition is
often the result of these infections.
Unless malnutri.;on is recognized
early and measures are taken to cor
rect it the effects Of this condition
in childhood may last to adult life.
investigations show that 20 per cent
of the children in many of our
schools are at present suffering from
malnutrition.
In order to prevent malnutrition
or at least to recognize it before
serious consequences have followed,
it is most important that you watch
the child's weight. A child much
below normal weight or one who is
steadily losing weight or one who is
not making normal gain should
at once be taken to physician.
The whole daily life Of the child
should be carefully investigated to
determine which Of the rules of
health he is violating and whether
this pertains to his food, his habits
Of eating, his hours of play. Of
school work or of sleep.
SUGGESTIONS FOR
DIET OF CHILDREN
During infancy mothers should
nurse their babies until advised
otherwise by competent physician.
At six months the baby is able to
digest starchy foods, therefore at
this time small amounts of barley
or oatmeal water may be given with
the milk. A teaspoonful of orange
juice twice day is also beneficial.
When the teeth begin to appear a
piece Of cracker or zwieback may be
allowed. In addition little cereal
jelly without sugar may be given
once a day, preferably in the morn
ing.
At about the fifteenth or sixteenth
month small amounts of baked po-
tato. apple sauce. and the pulp of
thoroughly cooked prunes may be
added to the baby's diet.
When the child is two and a half
or three years of age you may begin
to give him one or two teaspoonsfuls
Of scraped meat or an egg.
As the child grows older you
should take care TO see that the diet
is mixed and varied. that it supplies
all the elements necessary to insure
growth. Milk should be given at
each meal.
Children should not be allowed to
drink either tea or coffee.
