Faith, busy making an ice box
cake as her contribution to Fay's
dinner and celebration of Grandpa
and Grandma Lanes forty-ninth
wedding anniversary, scarcely saw
Cherry that Saturday afternoon
when her sister dashed home from
her matinee engagement with
George Pruitt to change for her
evening date with Bill Warren. But
her one glimpse of her, when
Cherry appeared briefly at the
kitchen door to be inspected. admired
and kissed goodbye, showed her
radiant, breath taking beautiful
girl.

slipper, her golden chiffon skirt

her heart lunged with fear. Cherry

ssYes,' Rhoda answered without
looking up from the bowl of may
onnaise she was whipping.
When Cherry was gone, like a
bright comet that had flashed
briefly across the dull sky of do
mesticity. Rhoda looked at Faith
with doubt and perplexity in her
china-blue eyes,

Most Of US knew it, but the fact strikes with
, particular emphasis in set of figures upon
the financial transactions of the cities Of the
United States issued last week by the United
States bureau of the census.
For each dollar the 48 states spent in the
fiscal year 1926 the $50 American cities hav-
ing more than $4,000 population each spent
t1.89. For maintenance Of government, public
works, education and so on, the cities spent
nearly twice as much as the states. The cities
iisbursed $3052, O00,0 900. The federal govern
msnt, topped the expenditures of the cities by
10 cents on the dollar.
Statistics upon the revenues also are given.
Put thus, in terms of taxation, we get substan-
tally the same comparative showing. Rapid
growth of the fiscal magnitude of city affairs is
another interesting phase.
These figures invite thought along num-
5er Of lines. It seems top-heavy and illogical
hat the federal machinery and activities should
,ost more than the upkeep of government and
.,ublic works in $50 cities. Above all, how
.sver, they go to the heart of matter every
;ity man is concerned about: Need of the
aighest ability in the management and admin
sstration Of city governments.

A Question of Distances
(St. Paul DiSpatch)


The distance between Bismarck, North Da-
kota, and Washington, D. c., is 1850 miles, but
when politicians in Washington begin discuss
ing North Dakota politics, the distance mirac-
ulously leaps beyond computation. That con-
clusion is borne out by the latest story from
the nationl capital that Gov. A. G. Sorlie will
be put forth as favorite son candidate for
the Republican presidential nomination at the
March primary.
The proposal is very pretty one from the
Washington viewpoint. 1t would relieve Sena-
tor Lynn J. Frazier of the possibility of Sorlie
as candidate against him in June. 1t would
save Senator Nye, who supports Norris, from
conflict with his own faction, which has en-
dorsed LoWden.
Something like this was necessary since the
strange incident when central committees OF
both Independent and Nonpartisan factions en-
dorsed Lowden. Anything that smacks OF
unanimity in North Dakota on political affairs
is regarded as unnatural and arouses instant
suspicion. Hence Governor Sorlie is paraded
as the favorite son in Washington. There is
still one important party to the program to De
heard from-Governor Sorlie himself.

Indy Invests His Money

willing to trust his body to the air, he considers
his money safer in the Older more established
forms of transportation, and the young col
onel has invested his small capital in Pullman
common stock.
Interest and faith in the future of aviation
might easily lead one as young as Colonel Lind
bergh to put the small capital he is understood
to have accumulated from his writing and fly
ing activities into. aircraft industry in some
form or another. But despite the belief in
himself that carried him across the Atlantic,
he has preferred to entrust his investment prob

ANEMIA NOT CAUSED BY LACK

Pernicious, or primary anenlia is

pie have a fear of this dease that it
is well to make a study of it, and
understand thc cause and the pos

As ! so often tell you in this

diseases lies in a polluted blood
stream which is full of toxins de-
veloped through wrong habits Of
living. The one with rheumatism
Is he who has developed the rheu-
matte toxemia; one with diabetes is
suffering from faulty metabolism

In spite Of all the nonsense writ
ten about anemia, and the claims
made that the cause is unknown, I
can assure you that this disease is
not so mysterious. And, although
we have not isolated and named the
poison which produceSit, we never
theless know that anemia is due to
q definite toxicosis, and that most
patients can be cured through the
simple plan of entirely eliminating
all disease toxins from the body.

garden lover; wherever she dwelt she planted.

REAL ANEMIA Isl RARE
] find 50 many patients who come
to me are obsessed with the idea
that they are suffering from anemia,
Sometimes the doctors they have
gone to have told them this. but
often it Is their own idea which they
have formed, probably from the
fact that their general enervation
has given them the impression their
blood must be weak"
Primary or pernicious anemia is
really quito rare, and not found
oftener than perhaps once in q
thousand patients; vet, most Of the
thousands who are suffering from
the definite diseases have imagined
they had some form of anemia.
It is true that secondary anemia
is more common, and at least mild
forms appear in such diseases as
tuberculosis, cancer, appendicitis
and other disorders where there is
. large amount Of pus accumulation
in some part of the body.
The average person is certainly
not more than 80 per cent or 80
per cent normal in any way, and
those who think themselves i'll
enough to go to q doctor will show
2 blood test which is som. place be-
tween 80 and 80 per cent normal.
This, then, is the average condition
but, of course, the few who are in
perfect health will show a hemo.
globin count of 100 per cent, with
the red cells numbering over S.
0OO, 900 and the lukocytes, or white
cells, $500.
A diminution of the blood's color,
or the amount of red cells, cannot
be called sign of true anemia until
the percentage of reduction is at
least below 80 per cent Of the nor
NAL. In secondary anemia this
decrease is due to some other dis
ease, such as tuberculosis or can
Ger, and there is always an increase
in the number Of white bloed cells,
which are the scavengers Of the
blood, used to carry away waste
materials. Whenever these white
cells increase to any great extent it
is always a sign of certain local
disorders, as well as constitutional
toxemia.
Secondary anemia, can be cured
only when the causes which have
produced it have been eliminated.
During the cure of tuberculosis the
white cells gradually diminish closer
and closer to the normal. with a
corresponding increase in the num-
Der of red cells and blood hemo-
globin.
Secondary anemia is present in
any disease where there is forma-
ton of pus, such as in appendicitis,
liver Assesses, etc., and when this
pus pocket is removed by surgery,
or through absorption and elimina-
ton, the white cell count becomes
normal, and the red cells and hemo-
globin also automatically become
normal.
A blod count examination is one
Of the most valuable aids which can
be used in diagnosing disease, and

method of examination vii. every
patient is as handicapped as q one
armed paper hanger.
If physicians were more careful
in their diagnosis / would not smile
so many times when patients tell
me that they know they are anemic.
Counting blood cells under the mi
croscope is the only accurate way Of
determining either pernicious or
secondary anemia, and the appear
ance or the symptoms of the pa
tient are not reliable guides in ar
irving at diagnosis of anemia.
