Is Al Smith Going to Straddle?
minneapolis JOurnal)


Al Smith kept the liquor question out of the
New York State Democratic Convention, so
now vets and drys aliks see signs of an inten-
ton on the Governors part to do an adroit
straddle on the prohibition issue, when the
bone-dry Democrats Of the South and West as
semble next summer with the mostly moist
Democrats of the East and North to select the
party's nominee for the Presidency.
A forecast that such would be the Smith
strategy in 1923 was made many months ago,
and, if memory serves, by dry Republican.
If the patronage-hungry South, seeing in
Smith the only Democrat with possible chance
to win at the polls, is willing to swallow its dis
like for the New York Governor in return for
a neutral position on the liquor ISSUE and if the
thirsty East is willing to forego wet platform
plank in exchange for the virtually unopposed
nomination of it's idol, then the new Tammany
tactics may prove shrewd
But it the South turns down any such pact,
and if the Eastern vets outside of New York
insist on making liquor clear-cut' issue, then
the new strategy OF neutrality, if such it be,
may hinder Governor Smiths convention
chances, instead of helping them.
The possible tactical advantage of pussy
foot stand on prohibition by Governor Smith
once he is nominated, is obvious. 1t combines
a reliance on the willingness of dry Southern.

Fasteners to vote for man known to be wet,
despite his unwillingness to commit himself on
the issue.
All very we'll, if both the dry horse and the
wet horse will stand hitched at the same time
Anyone wishing to wager that dry horse and

gether for any considerable period, probably
could get mighty good odds.

A Special Session

Governor Sorlie's announcement OF special
session should have the effect of determining
for all time the future of state ownership IN
North Dakota. 1t is within the province of the
legislature to take such action as may seem nee
essary in this crisis. Both the Mill and Eleva-
tor and State Bank have been more or less po-
litical footballs, creating campaign thunder for
the "outs'' and keeping the 'ins' busy with
reports charges and countercharges.
The policy of state ownership was brought
upon North Dakota by vote of the people
through initiated and referred laws and const-
tutional amendments during the hectic days. 1t
will take two-thirds action of the legislative
body to modify such laws or to formulate any
radical changes in the operation OF these In
dustries.
Governor Sorlie evidently has decided to
place all the cards on the table. He welcomes
an impartial investigation of state affairs
through legislative session, but he is unWll-
ing that these industries should continue to be
hampered by political reports, barrages and
sabotage.
He contemplates consideration of other is
sues such as Missouri river diversion and there
may be more questions of merit to be cOnSld-
cred. At least a most ample opportunity will
be given for all sides to be heard and for the
citizens of the state, through their elective
representatives, to express their desires upon
what is best to be done.
In the meantime a thorough check of the
fact-finding report is being made by auditors
representing both factions in the controversy.
Developments will be awaited with consider
able interest and North Dakota should be able
to decide how best to end the interminable
wrangling which is doing the state or it's peo-
pie no good. Naturally, no business, public or
private, can thrive while under constant fire.
This newspaper holds no brief for state own
ership. It has always been against that prin-
ciple or theory of government, but it believes
in fair play. 1t feels that Governor Sorlie has
conducted clean and honest administration
Of the states business. At times he has la
bored under terrific handicaps because of
bitter political schisms, but he has been loyal
to the best interests of the state and he has
attended to business ardently at all times.
He should by all means throw wide open
every avenue of investigation for the opposi.
ton to prove their contentious. No good can
come of continuing the whispering campaign
or the thimble-rigging that has been evident
during the last few months.

the slightest excuse for believing
that acid fruits have any effect
whatsoever in creating this condi-
ton. In order to understand this
fact, it is we'll, first of all, to know
what acidosis means. It may be
simply defined as acid-intoxication
Of the tissues Of the body. The
causes are varied. It is a condition
present with such diseases as dia-
betes, tuberculosis, cancer, fevers,
appendicitis, peritonitis, pneumonia,
stomach and intestinal ulcers, in
digestion, tonsilitis and, in fact, al
most all ailments. The normal state
Of the bodily tissues is alkaline, and,
in all diseases, bad habits Of living
are responsible for the predicament
in which the sick ones find them
selves. Chief among these errors in
living are the use Of wrong quality
and quantity of food, improper COM
binations Of food, insufficient ex-
ercise and improper habits of
thought.
Bad combinations Of food will pro-
duce excess fermentation with the
consequential creation of flatulence
and hyperacidity Of the stomach and
intestines. If not enough sufficient
~ vigorous physical culture exercise
is INDUCED in, even the best foods
will also generate toxins.
All enervating habits waste en-
ergy which is needed in the process
es Of digestion and the result is that
the body attempts to chemically
change the food materials into use-
full substances which can be assim-
Hated by throwing out large guam
titles of gastric juice containing
hydrochloric acid. The continued cf-
feet Of this is to lower the blood's
alkalinity producing a state Of the
tissues, favorable to any of the
deficiency diseases. The blood is
never really acid until death, but
bad habits will reduce the normal
alkalinity. Faulty m etab olism
(change Of tissue) takes place and
the result is that the system does
not have the proper resistance
against disease.
The body is literally dying more
than it is being built up and the
closer to death one comes, the less
the normal alkalinity of the blood
exists. The first signs will be de-
preston, coated tongue, poor circula-
ton, bad color of the skin and a
general "blue" feeling. If the food
is reduced to the proper amount and
combined properly and increased ex-
ercise is take, the bodily forces will
again resume this proper balance
and no serious disease will occur.

THE SALISBURY DIET

= OkA A1ODON1 OxEl
Years ago, when was confirmed
vegetarian, it was my good fortune
to come across a book written, by
DR.. Salisbury, an English physician
This book, outlined a treatment for
disease which struck a new note in
the study of dietetics. The writer
claimed to cure practically every all
ment by placing the patient on a
dietetic regime, consisting Of ground
round steak and raw vegetables. The
claims he put out were so startling
that l Immediately started expert
menting according to his system to
find out what there could be in his
claims.
l was agreeably surprised to see
such diseases as rheumatism and
bright's disease disappear rapidly
under this strange treatment which
was so Numerically opposite to the
accepted dietetic procedure in such
cases.
By careful, unprejudiced investi-
cation / soon discovered the reason
this revolutionary diet yielded such
remarkable results. First Of ALL. it
is very simple diet and that alone
accounts for great deal of its sue
cess. Also, all excess food fermenta-
tion is avoided in the absence of any
starches or sugars. Even with the
large amount of protein food con-
sumed, no harmful effects are OBJ
served. The withdrawal Of all foods
having a tendency to produce flatu-
lence Immediately relieves one from
the distress Of being walking gas
factory" If other diet systems have
not helped you, try this Salisbury
regime for a week and watch the
good results.
Daily Salisbury Regime
Three times daily eat one-fourth
of a pound Of Salisbury steak with
either sliced tomatoes or raw celery,
as desired. One half hour before
each meal drink a pint of warm
water, also sip one pint Of warm
water while eating the meal.
Prepare this steak by grinding
through meat grinder only the
red, lean part of round steak from
which all fat and gristle have been
removed. This is more palatable
than Hamburger steak as the alb
sence Of fat gives it an entirely
different flavor than when the fat
is left in and makes it more whole
some. Make into thin patties and
bake in the oven for about five min
utes or pan broil in dry. hot pan
without grease.
After you have used this diet for
about a week, return to your usual
well-balanced diet and you will find
many symptoms, such as flatulence,
have disappeared.
This diet can be repeated occasion
ally with marked benefit. The re-
suits will teach you the great di-
etetic truth that excess fermentation
of food is responsible for many
symptoms and ailments caused by
indiscriminate eating and wrong
mixtures Of even good foods.

and lectures, / have found it nee

belief that acid fruits have direct

Washington, Oct. 19.-The first
tangible evidence that Senator j.
Boomboom McWhorter is q candidate
for the presidential nomination is
seen in the mysterious appearance
here Of pamphlet purporting to
be an account Of the senator's life
and times.
u. Boomboom McWhorter, States
man and Patriot" is the title on the
cover and the contents comprise all
irresistible refutation of the sneers
of certain jealous persons who pro-
TESS to believe that McWhorter real
~ isn't such much.
A foroWord carefully explains that
the pamphlet has no political pur-
pose, but you can't bamboozle Of
ficial Washington, which has seen
similar pamphlets before.
At any rate it's the first time
full justice has been done, for the
senator has been wearing an injured
look ever since he was advised that
any senator who supplied more than
three pages for the biographical Sec
ton of the Co gressional Directory
would have to pay for the extra
printing.
No attempt is made to conceal the
senator's humble origins. The elder
McWhorter was only = horseshoe
pitcher, but he was a good one.
Little McWhorter used to carry
the horseshoes for his father and
then run out and retrieve them
after they were pitched. One day a
horseshoe hit little McWhorter in
the noodle. Neighbors thought that
the injury had Elected little Nc
Whorter's brain but, as the senator
explains it, it was very beneficial,
and after that he had many bright
ideas which he had never had before.
Little McWhorter was taught the
peril Of strong drink at an early age.
Every night little McWhorter had
to trot down to the brewery and
bring home bucket of beer for his
pop, until his pop began to observe
that the older and fatter little Nc
Whorter grew, the farther the foam
was from the rim Of the bucket.
One day Pop McWhorter sneaked
out and followed his son back
from the brewery and, as a result of
what he saw, the lad took terrible
tanning, and the bucket always came
home full after that.
When the boy grew old enough to

Harvest Made in Record Time
(St. Paul Disnatchl

The peak of the small grain season is over.
The golden flood is ended in record time. Fine,
dry September weather and new threshing and
reaping machinery put speed in this harvest
that had not been before noted. The greater
use OF the truck is also factor. A youth in
Morton county, North Dakota, for example,
bought new light type truck at the beginning
OF harvest. The price was $916 Working SO
days he earned enough in hauling grain to make
full payment on the truck. The truck makes
twenty trips to three by team. Over every
road the trucks were tearing to the local eleva-
tor a. high speed and only the perfection Of the
transportation.
