Treatments should be left to

Il may be said that the diet should
be light, mostly liquid and that water

sary to keep the patient separated
from other members Of the family
and the person who cares Tor him
must exercise great care in thor
oughly washing the hands with soap
and hot water after dressing in

soiled articles which have been in
contact with such parts. Soilcd
dressings should be burned and tow

Christmas tree was still up and
everything. And there was enough
fruit cake left from Christmas to go
round, and the curtains were clean
and the holly wreaths were still
fresh and-.-well, It just seemed like a
good time to give party.
So Mrs. Bollinger called up all the
mothers on the telephone and the
party was arranged for Wednesday
afternoon ~at two.
Well, two o'clock, on Wednesday
afternoon finally came--so did Sally
Sloan and Peggy Porterfield and
Johnny Jones and Timothy Thomas
and Billy Billings, all in their best
clothes, starched collars and long
trousers, and dresses all trimmed UP
in shiny stuff. And such stacks Of
goloshes and overcoats and hats as
there were, and bright lights in the
windows and everything! ct was q
pretty dark day.
The house just looked like party
to anyone passing, and of course
Tweekanose had eyes like needles
He wasn't missing anything.

vited, but guess I'll go in anyway
So when new batch of company
arrived, he hid behind little girls
golosh Che was so very tinyl and
walked right in through the door.
Now the only way goblin car
have good time at party is to gel
into mischief. And Tweekanose knew
how to have perfectly splendid
time.
Everyone was in the front Of the
house playing guessing games, sc
he wandered back to the dining room
to have good look around.
The long table was set with lace
mats and dainty napkins and silver
spoons and candles and flowers. But
the thing that took Tweekanose'.
eye was the big tissue-paper pie ir
the center of the table. OF course
it was only make-believe pie made
out of red tissue paper, but Tweeka'
nose knew what was in it-presents
for everybody at the party!
Tiny dolls and silver lead pencil.
and cute little mirrors and leather
pocketbooks and puzzles and all sorts
Of things like that. Each boy ant
girl would pull the ribbon that led Il
his plate, and the big pie would teal
open and out would come the pres
ents!
ooh, no, no, no, ho!" chucklet
Tweekanose hopping up on the table
"Just wait till l get through will

Editorial Comment
A National Asset
(Des MOines Rcgister)

When john St. LOe .Strachey editor OF the London
Spectator visited this country recently he came with
feeling OF pessimtsm. which was not allayed until
he j6urneycd by automobile from Buffalo to Phiia
delphia. In his glimpse of that rural territory he
reports the finding Of confidence in America He
recognized there the bedrock of the American struc
ture. s1. sa
II he had driven from Minneapolis to Des Moines,
from Kansas City to Denver. or from Spokane to
Billings the London editor would have found much
the same thing Character OF the farming and topog
raphy would be different hut the institution of the
single family farm home in the open country would
be found quite constant Here the family bond Is
especially strong. here active life and open air make
for strong bodies, here Is stronghold Of individual
Ism and recruiting ground for all sorts OF social
endeavor. 81. ~. S .-e..ts
i Is cosy to yield to sentn,entaly in discussing
home life on the farm. Some OF the joys and salts

Who Is a Republican?

witt! the appointment Of Gerald P. Nye as United
States senator the acid test has been applied to HIS
political faith. OF whether he Is or Is not
entitled to a seat depends solely on how the senate

minority reports Of the senate committee on cleo
tions 1t would seem much law has been assem-
bcA for as against seating him and that the issue
has simmered down to more less of political
bubble
That leads us, then, to the text OF this editorial
who Is Republican,
The United States senate found that very hard
matter to decide in the case OF Robert NJ. La Fol
lette, Jr, but the members presumed that he is a
Republican until he is proved guilty OF being some
thing else.
Here in North Dakota the simon, pure Republican
is hard to find determine. When Taft was
showed under by avalanche Of protesting votes
there some $4,000 dyed in the wool schedule
IL standpat Republicans. Some Of these have since
died and others have moved away. Others probably
have done some political backslidng to suit the
cxigences Of the occasion.
1t is always humorous to politicians openly
parading their deep party fealty despite the fact
that the primary has made party regularity hard
and trying to the fellow who wants to stay at the
pie counter. In the various campaigns in this state
since the advent of the Nonpartisan League, party
aignments have been shot to the winds. Pcf and
powe: have been the chief considerations.
s.icre is no real Republican organization left in
North Dakota. That was demonstrated in the cam
paign in which Porter ]. McCumber became the vic
tim Of treachery and political shOrt-sightedness
Personal hate and venom removed this state from
the sphere OF influence at Washington when Nc
Cumber sacrificed to appcaec the prejudices
OF the political henchmen of the Fargo machine
Elements in this same machine are now. pursuing
Nye 0stensibly upon high moral plane well as
upon fimsy legal technicalities. But the Shiny
trail of politics is being disclosed. Selfinterest
and political agnmcnts for 1926 have dictated
every move. There may be modicum of law on
Tho side of both the Nye and the antiNye adher
cnts. but the chief considerations political ant
they belong to, should not be msled by statements
issued from the same Fargo sources which drought
about the defeat of McCumber and the election Of
Lynn J. Frazier. These political pirates deservs
even worse fate than Gerald p Nye. Midbo o.
DonnybroOk would. have been fitting climax Il
cmbarrass those political scavengers who were re
sp0nsible for supplanting McCumber. By their &C
they eliminated this state from an intimate contac
with national affairs and destroyed an influence
that the other states coveted Minnesota politica
pcwccs" did the same thing when they defeated
Senator Frank b. Kellogg. now secretary Of state.
Political conditions in this state call for a new
kind Of leadership in the Republican party
bungled things long enough.
