Finally the oil operator said that
Blackmer had asked him not to clip the
coupons from the bonds he gave him.
After a passage with Senator Walsh
over what was meant by a question,
Sinclair said it was his recollection he
did clip some Of the bonds.
Then Sinclair directed the Stenog-
rapher 10 read his previous testimony
There was difficulty in finding that and
Senator Walsh finally broke in TO say
that time was of value.
The witness conferred with Littleton,
who said Sinclair wanted to know if he
did not have the right to have read his
previous testimony.
NO. he has no such right" Senator
Walsh said
The oil operator then repeated tes-
Blackmer, and corrected a previous
statement that Biackmer had told him
at the outset not to clip the coupons
on the bonds.
He said he knew of no reason for
Blackmer's request and added that he
did not ask him at the time, as he re-
calls. He could see no reason for
Blackmer's action.

Abating Unemployment
(St. Paul Disnatchl

Secretary Davis of the Department of Labor
reports to the Senate this week that there are
now 1,874,050 persons out of work in the Uni
ted States and that while he regards this as
serious he does not believe unemployment to
be so extensive or grave as the estimates which
have been generally circulated.
The increasein the number of unemployed is
not so much caused by q diminution of the
number of jobs as it is in the increase in the
number of men looking for them. The steady
flow of farm population to the cities in search
Of employment following failure to make liv.
ing on the farms is largely accountable for the
surplus in number of men over number Of jobs
According to Secretary Of Agriculture Jardine
more than three million persons have left the
farm in the past few years.
The reasonable course to abate the distress
with which industry finds itself confronted
would be to rehabilitatc agriculture so that il
might draw back to itself the man power that
has been forced to desert it.

HOW CATARRH IS PRODUCED
An acute case Of catarrh mani
tests in two stages. First, there is
the dry, congested, swollen mucous
membrane. Then the mucous mem.
brane suddenly becomes moist with
abnormally free discharge Of mucous
which is more or less altered in
quality. Extreme inflammation Of
the membrane exists, whether It IL
Pin the nose or throat, or any Of the
other mucous membranes Of the
body. This acute inflammation Is
usually called = "cold," especially If
the inflammation is in the nose or
The irritating cause Of the dis.
charge may be the breathing Of fine
particles Of dust or the pollen from
flowers, or often the invasion Of
bacteria. However, it is almost i'm
possible for one Of these 'colds" to
start unless the person who con-
tracts the cold has been enervated
for some time and his resistance to
disease is therefore below par.
Where chronic catarrh exists, the
mucous membranes are constantly
throwing out excuses Of mucus con.
tanning epithelial cells, white blood
cells, and organic mineral matter.
This discharge may be present in the
air passages, such As the nose, throat
or lungs, or may even come from the
stomach or alimentary canal, with
discharges from the rectum. Even
excessive discharges Of mucus from
the genital organs can be placed
under the name Of catarrh.
The fundamental causes lying back
of any Of these types Of chronic
catarrh are always an excess accum-
ulation in the blood of too large q
quantity Of material formed from
the carbohydrates, that is, the sugars
and starches, such as white flour,
sugar. cornstarch, polished rice, etc.
These are all acid-forming, and con-
Lsequently lower the alkalinity Of the
blood.
Most commercial sugars are 50
deprived of their alkalinity that they
are also acid-forming, and have the
effect Of producing in the blood q
lowered state Of alkalinity.
These effete materials, of no use
to the body, must be thrown out in
some manner, and the body often
uses the mucous membranes as q
channel for this elimination.
If one is suffering from any form
of chro,s: catarrh, the first thing
to do is to eliminate, for = time At
least, all sugars and starches, and
give the blood . chance to cleanse
itself Of these waste products which
cannot be used in the building Of
normal cell structure.
The body will quickly eliminate
these unnecessary wastes If one will
only give his system a chance to
carry on this elimination in an un-
interrupted manner. IF short fruit
fasts are taken occasionally the body
will then have = chance to throw out

Editorial Comment
The Reid Flood Control Bill
Devils Lake Journal)


The Reid flood control bill, formally offered
to the House of Representatives yesterday is
Of special interest to Devils Lake and North
Dakota because it is said to contain provisions
for the creation Of reservoirs at the heads of
streams which pour into the Mississippi, and
this provision, it is hoped, would include the
diversion of the Missouri river to Devils Lake,
as urged upon senators and congressman by
the Missouri River Diversion association Of
Devils Lake and by number Of South Dakota
cities which see great benefits to them in the
form of increased water supplies by reason OF
the diversion, at the same time keeping the
annual floods of the Missouri below Garrison
under control
The Reid BILL by creating commission to
study and supervise flood control plans, ap-
pears the most feasible solution of the problem
yet devised, since this commission will be able
to take the matter out Of politics and proceed
in practical and feasible manner. The bone
of contention in this bill, however, like that in
the Jones bill recently passed by the senate is
the question of financing flood control, but
since both bills provide that the federal gov
eminent bear the burden of expense, permit.
ting the affected states to escape great costs,
it is highly probable that this method will final
" be adopted by both houses of congress. The
fact that the senate passed the Jones bill with
out dissenting vote is fairly good sign Of
how the upper house feels toward financing
flood control.
President Coolidge appears to be opposed to
the federal government solely financing flood
control on 80 large scale as demanded in both
flood control measures and he has stated that
he feels the affected states should bear some
of the costs. For this reason whatever bill is
finally agreed upon by both houses of congress
might have hard shedding when it reaches the
executives office. There is growing opinion
among most of those deeply concerned over
flood control that this problem is federal
one since many of the states most affected BY
the high waters of the Mississippi are innocent
victims Of conditions that arise in states,
whence come the waters that raise the Missis-
sippi to flood levels which are not affected by
the rivers rise. Thus, it is argued. Mississippi
flood control is an interstate problem, and that
the federal government has control over all in
terstate problems.

My Dear Marye:
Whatever are you going to do

having separate friends the way
you and Alan have! I'd never
dream of inviting q man to my house
if I knew he had any tender feelings
for me. So / can't blame Alan for
wanting to show you how it feels
to have such person in your home.
/ imagine the party was spoiled
for you-and it should have been.
OF course, ] don't think Alan chose
the best way in the world to make
you realize how he felt, but at least
you found out that what's sauce
for the goose is sauce for the gander.
And if you can't set a better ex-
ample for Florence as to how a wife
should behave think you'd better
send her home. Her mother is
worrying herself sick because she
thinks Florence isn't coming back.
And if she knew that Mabel Clary
was after her to live in one of those
places you call q studio the old soul
would never get over it. It's no
secret around town that Mabel is
posing "undraped" for artists in the
city, and there are lots Of people
here who don't believe that 4 nice
girl would do such = thing.
If you would only give Florence
the advantages she ought to, get
from her visit and not think 50 much
about parties it would be q good
thing to have her stay even longer

Improving Boulevards

Care of boulevards through the residence
district should be great stimulus to property
owners to spruce up their lawns and yards
Probably no agency but the city can give SUCH
service. The plan has worked out well in
other cities and Bismarck should be no excep-
ton to the general rule.
Green and neatly trimmed bouevards add
much to the attractiveness of city. Bis
marck has reached the stage when beautifica-
ton is necessary. To keep in step with prog
ress and attract those seeking new home,
this city must keep up with modern ideas. The
cost should not be any greater than if the prop
erty owners were to do the work themselves
and it can be much better done by the city.
A necessary step in the near future is a
thorough revamping of the residential light
ing system The present arrangement is out Of

or small globes on posts hidden among trees

Americans are the only people in the world
who habitually boost the goods of their foreign
competitors. The American merchant, display

The customer feels flattered. He has been

domestic goods. When he shows his purchase
to his friends he says with pride, BEST there

The women help along the same sort of
propaganda. The saleslady says, This is the
very latest thing, right from Paris" Or,
isn't this just absolutely correct? It's all the

this season. Imported, you know"
But there is no reciprocity in the matter on
the part of Europeans. Britons, Germans and
Frenchmen keep up constant exhortation to
buy goods made 1t home. British goods are

merce of the United States in = recent report
says 20 per cent Of the total sales Of foreign
cars in Germany are those Of American make.
