Editorial Comment
No Legion Poll
(Grand Forks Herald)

tGranQ FORKS HeralQ)
The suggestion of Commander Spafford Of
on the subject of prohibition be taken has not
been well received by many other leaders in
that organization, and the opposition has been
$50 pronounced that we shall probably hear no
more of the plan. An early impression pre-
vailed that Mr.. Spafford had ordered the poll
but it was quickly pointed out that the COM
mander has no such right, and he has since
declared that his statement was merely a sug-
gestion, and that he had no notion that he had
any authority to direct that poll should be
taken.
It is just as we'll that the proposed poll
should be abandoned. The reason advanced by
the commander for the suggestion was that the
Legion is really cross-section Of American
citizenship representing in its membership
every conceivable group in the republic and
that an expression of opinion by membership
so varied and SO large might fairly be taken
to represent the opinion of the nation as a
whole That may be true, but whatever might
have been the effect on the movement for or
against prohibition, the effect on the Legion
itself could not we'll have been other than in
furious.
Ut course no poll, no expression by any ma
jority, however large, could bind the individual
member. . No matter what the result of the
poll the individual would still have been at
liberty to choose his own course and follow
his own convictions. But the Legion is organ
lied on a basis which makes the introduction
of sharply controverted political questions into
it's councils dangerous to its real effectiveness
and to its very existence. If the poll were to
be taken. voice of the majority on this ques-
ton would popularity be taken to be the voice
of the Legion itself. There would have been
disputes and schisms over question on which
the members of the organization are as divided
as are other citizens, subject which must be
disposed of by citizens as such, and not by par
ticular groups or organizations.

THE NEED FOR PURE WATER

THE NEED FOR PURE WATER
When the body Is examined with
tho x-ray, the observer Is impressed
with the fact that only ! small per-
centage Of the whole body is made
up Of mineral elements, or what
might be called solid material. The
ordinary tissues are quite porous to
the x-rays, the bones containing 20
much calcium being the most easily
discerned. The difference in dens.
ity Of the different organs and It's
sues depends upon the proportion
of water and mineral elements which
they contain. Taken as q whole, the
body is about two.third, water, with
smaller proportion in the bones
and a larger amount in the blood
stream, which contains about
Lightweight per cent water.
Our bodies are .eally composed of
different mineral elements which
are literally SUSPENDED or floating
in q mass Of water. In order to
have proper health, q proper bal
ance must be maintained between
the percentage Of water ard min
eral elements.
Our bodies can be made onlv Of
material which enters the body
through the mouth and Is converted
through digestion and assimilation
into the various groups Of tissues
and organs. The solid mineral mat
teryof the body can only come from
different kinds Of foods which :on-
tain these elements.
All foods, Of course, have water in
their composition, some, III h as
fruits and leafy green vegetables,
containing more watet than solids.

Before she left for the office
with Bob that Friday morning,
Cherry made no verbal apology to
Faith for her atrocious behavior Of
the night before, but she kissed
her sister goodbye with unaccus-
toned warmth, her arms clinging
tightly for a moment, and when
Faith went to Cherry's room to
battle and dress the baby she again
found that task already performed.
Cherry had not slept particularly
we'll upon her sins. Faith won
dered, tenderly and pityingly, what
strange battle between the good
and evil in her unaccountable little
sisters nature had been waged in
that pretty bedroom during the
long hours after Cherry had fled
from the living room the night be-
fore, Inundated in the eyes Of two
men whose devotion to herself she
had high-handedly taken for grant
ed.
All that was good and unselfish
however small that might be-
had been instantly called to the
surface Of Cherry's volatile nature
by that naive confession Of Rhoda's.
For today, 1t least, Cherry would
remain true to the vow she had
visibly registered not to try to fan
into q new flame the attraction
which Nils had felt for her upon
sight, and which she believed had
almost helplessly quenched by her
badly staged little melodrama to
excite his jealousy and to call his
chivalry to her defense. Poor little

A Breed That Is Brave

AS brave as their men, who went out to
challenge the old man OF the deep, are the
thirty-seven families whose men of the Glou-
cester fishing fleets have not come back.
The sea has robbed them, women and little
boys and little girls, but cannot defeat them.
The little boys in these families will grow up
into big men and 90 out and fling the same
dare into the teeth OF the boundless ocean,
fight the same fight their fathers and their
grandsires waged with the same pers of wind
and wave beating at their ships.
The defiance of the vast deep runs III these
brave folks veins. Their feet are built to the
feel of a swaying deck, their eyes are eyes that
are attuned to rowing the vast expanses ard
their hands are mighty hands that know how
to wrest from their majestic foe victory IN
the grip of twisting gale.
Those thirty-seven families are Gloucester
fishing folk, and the sea cannot daunt them.
Destitute, they face the vigor OF winter and
the claims of happiness that Christmas brings,
with smile as brave as they can summon.
They are of the mold that faces the hazards
of cruel sea, and these other things, after all,
are not the main issues in their lives.
For these families fund is being raised,
$4,000, to see them through. William F. Nor
gan, treasurer of the Middle Atlantic Fisheries
Association 100 Cliff street, New York City,
is receiving contributions. At Christmas time
no worthier cause than this could be espoused,
no mission of mercy greater.
All they have to remember those gallant men,
who went down in the Columbia and the Avalon,
are the few oars and dories washed ashore.
They are people, too, who would not ask for
! help, for they have learned the stern code Of
the sea that is survival of the fittest, and they
ask no favorS of man or element.
They are of breed that is brave, and de-
serving.

IN NEW YORK

New York, Dec. GA few troub-
adors there still are to sing the
songs and tell the stories Of Green
witch Village before it "went COM
mercial."
A few there are to tell you of
the times when the village was truly
Bohemian.
A few remain who remember
when basement tea-rooms from lit
tie soap-boxes grew and when these
could be rented for $50 or SO q
month. Today speak easies and
"wine-with-dinner" resorts put these
in the high rent class.
A few there are who still can
tell you where to find Dick, with
his steel guitar and his Indian songs
of the Southwest; they can tell you
where Bobbie Edwards yodels his
old village ballads for handouts;
they can point out where Trilby's
used to be, with that dark, slick
haired siren who finally found her
way to the position Of ono of Man
hattan's most exclusive models;
they can recall when Romany Marie
was on Christopher street and told
fortunes in teacups; they can re-
member the marrying cigaret girls
of the Inn and "Tiny Tim," with his
packages of Glove CANDY" They
know where Edna Millay spun her
verses and where Floyd Dell became
the super-chronicler Of the clan.
"Lew New" the self-appointed
mayor, will inform you that Dick,
the half-breed Indian, ran up con-
siderable fortune out Of a few soap
boxes and trick beverages. He re-
called the visitors to the village with
an assortment. of what he pleased to
call "Indian beverages" They were
non-alcoholic, but their designations
were certain to lure trade. Today,
with the bootleg competition they
might not get to first base.
There was, for instance, a mix
ture of sarsaparilla and ginger ale,
which he called "Sioux." A little
spice and lemon juice turned this
into an "Iroquois" and some ginger
or cinnamon created an DOSAGE"
It was grand racket while the GO
ing was good and Dick provided
tunes and songs.

Newspapers Read By All

Sales have already justified the $1,7O0,OO0

Ford to the public. The Ford Motor company
spent 81 100000 and Ford dealers spent $780,
600 for advertising during the five days pre-
cedng the unwilling
This advertising campaign. the most remark
able ever promulgated in this couptry, was con-
Quoted entirely through the daily and weekly
newspapers Of the United States and Canada.
Virtually every newspaper carried this adver-
Using, and it is no exaggeration to say that it
was seen by more than 1O0OO0,OOO people.
Since last April the largest manufacturer of
electrical machinery, supplies and devices has
confined it's advertising to the newspapers. This
change of.policy followed nationwide survey
ing conclusion:
Newspapers seem to offer the only medium
by which we can both nationalize and localize
our various sales campaigns, thus permitting
us to conduct nationwide campaign on prod
ucts and at the same time vary our program
to fit the needs Of specific Districts
Apparently, the automobile wizard arrived at
similar conclusions before launching the adver-
Using campaign for his new product. His long
and successful years in the manufacturing and
marketing of motor cars have taught him where
and how to find his buyers. And the Ford fam
lily has never been known to spend it's millions
with prodigality.
One of the reasons for the increasing use of
newspaper advertising by national advertisers
is the fact that the public has been educated
to look for their announcements in the news
paper. Newspaper advertising has the most
readers and is most read.

Washington, Dec. 22.-Politics
will be taken out of the selection of
prohibition enforcement personnel
insofar as the Civil Service Commits
sion can remove it, but the commits
sion can't vouch for the politicians.
The work of putting the person
mel under civil service still goes on
and the commission recently an
nourlced that most Of the admins
trative posts probably would be filled
by certified appointees by the first
of the year. The big job of exam
lining 10000 applicants and certify
ing eligibles for $500 jobs is still
uncompleted, however, because Of
the lack Of funds caused by the Sem
ate filibuster last session.
The only reasonable assumption
is that politics will figure import
antly in the selection Of prohibition
officers, despite the efforts of the
commission. The fact is that the
commission has a check on the poll
ticians and the politicians have a
check on the commissions ambition
to keep them out of the picture.
=
Up to the time the commission
certifies the eligibles, politics is out
of the picture, except that the en-
forcer who may now hold his job
through political influence is given
credit in the examination for his
experience. After that, in the case
of the more important administra-
tive jobs, the appointing officers
may select one out of three men
for the job.
In instances where there are num-
bers of similar jobs open. the COM
mission certifies a longer list, and
here three men must be chosen from
the first five on the list. For every
three men chosen. two may be elm
mated entirely. None of the five
is discarded until the appointing Of
ficer has considered him for three
jobs, after which he goes out auto
matically. Large numbers of eli
gibles may thus be passed over re-
CARELESS of their examination marks,
but only &C per cent at the most in
the one-out-of-thre selections and
only 40 per cent where there are nu-
merous jobs Of the same type. Most
of the present agents took the ex-
ans, and many Of them will surely
be retained.

Congressman Laguardia Of New

reason for believing that politics
doesn't cut much figure in prohibi-
ton jobs anyway.
"These fellows who get enforce

that they move into expensive
neighborhoods and retire. They 60

that one seems to be the most Pc

meath which was a note in Cherry's
scrawl:
Faith, darling: Wear these to
Mrs. Harrison's bridge party to-
night. OF course, III stay home
with Hope. Your bad Cherry"
Faith had forgotten about the
Harrisons' bridge party, an invi-
tation to which she and Bob had
accepted nearly q week before.
Frowningly she wondered If it were
too late for her to beg off, for she
felt that Cherry in 4 chastened, re-
pentant mood might be hungering
for long, confidential talk with
her, but rs she unused, her tear
misted eyes upon the flowers, it
came to her that she had no right
to cheat Bob Of an evening Of
bridge, Of which he was Unfortunately
fond. and that Cherry might resent
having her generosity thrown back
upon herself. In her present mood,
Cherry would get q sort Of morbid
pleasure out Of staying chastely at
home and playing the devoted
mother. And repentance in solitude
was undeniably good for her.
At eleven o'clock the telephone
rang and Rhoda answered It. A
few minutes later she appeared at

Faith was playing with Hope. her

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Question: "Thank You" asks: s'Is
there any way that broken muscles
and tissues Of the bust can be
strengthened? It was caused by too
tight finding"
Answer: It is quite normal for
the breasts to drop down gradually
after the birth Of Z child or even
sometimes after puberty. Exercis-
ing the muscles Of the hest will
tend to strengthen the muscles lying
under the busts, but thu will seldom
raise them to their original posi-
ton. There is nothing injurious
about this sagging, and you must
not injure yourself by using treat
ments to eliminate condition which
is probably natural for your age.
Question: Mrs. w. B. L. asks:
'Will you kindly tell me the differ
ence between buttermilk and aci-
dolphilus milk, and what would you
advise taking for an acid stomach
or intestinal indigestion
answer: There is some differ
ence between butte ilk and aci-
dolphilus milk, but not much differ
ence in that which is commercially
sold. Either Of these INKS max
an excellent diet to take for . short
time, excluding al other foods; or,
. pint Of either milk may be used in
place Of meal.
Question: Mrs. 4. Med. asks:
"What would cause my husband to
have q pain unde~ the left shoulder
blade? Several years age that
lung closed for some time when he
suddenly stepped under q very cold
shower. Could it be q result Of
that?"
Answer: Pains under the left
shoulder usually come from either
heart trouble or from some lung
disorder such as you mention. If
the lung has remained collapsed it
may still be possible to open it up
by having your husband take deep
breathing exercises.
