Congress passed the law to plac.

making an honest, going business
out of what had become q national
scandal. The law was scheduled to
take effect last October. It didn't,
except that those not certified by

Prohibition Bureau observed that
the incumbent wasn't among those

among those qualified and whore it
wasn't suited by one of those who

a discrimination.
These were held and the COM

KEEP ABDOMINAL MUSCLES
DEVELOPED

If man walked on all tours, the
abdominal organs would hang in
their natural position from the
sides. Just because he has learned
to walk erect, these organs easily
sag down and lie on each other in
the lower abdominal cavity. The
stomach and intestines lie upon the
lower organs Of the pelvis, pushing
them out Of position down to the
very basin Of the pelvis. The con.
sequence is that rsny faulty posi-.
tions Of these organs are developed.
One Of the commonest troubles
from prolapsus Of the abdominal
organs is that caused by kinks in
the colon. These may occur in the
large colon or In the small intCs.
tine, and are due either to I pro-
lapsus Of these organs, or to I'D.
hesions which pull some par! of the
intestine out Of its normal position.
Adhesions are composed Of eunnec-
tive tissue which grows from the
irritated covering 81 one organ to
another irritation on IN adjacent or
gan.
Dissipation is often the snuse Of
constipation, and means obstruction
Of the intestines. Without pl clap
sus or inflammation Of these organs,
such dissipation could not exist. but
the fact that it does exist shows
that prolapsus is very comm On.
Weakening Of the abdominal mus
cles can be cited ~ the principal
cause Of any gastro-enteroptosis.
THAT sounds terrible, doesn't it?)
That large word simply means pro-
lapsus Of the stomach and intes-
tines.
Few people keep their abdominal
muscles well enough developed so
that their abdomens are flat, but
alls ;. bay window to develop, with
. sagging belly which distorts their
whole anatomical structure. This
protrusion Of the abdomen is UNI
lovelv to the sight, but more than
that. it is positively dangerous to
health, as it indicates an unhealthy
condition of all Of the organs of the
abdomen. As this bay window pro-
trudes and Says down, it is evil
dence Of the gradual weakening of
the muscular tone of the entire
alimentary canal. Constipation and
costiveness must result from this
sagging.
There is no way you can restore
these organs to their normal tone
and bring them back to their proper
position except by taking vigorous
exercise for the abdominal muscles.
Those exercises taken while lying on
the back called the "setting up"
exercises are the best for this pur-
pose, and yeu can develop these
muscles equally 81 well as the prize
fighter or wrestler.
Do not make the mistake Of think
ing that athletes are born with any
better opportunity for developing
their muscles than you have. If you
will develop the dashboard muscles
Of the abdomen Of the prize fighter,
you can rest assured that you will
not suffer from any kind Of prolap-
sus.
Do not waste your time taking
exercises while standing, as these
exercises have no appreciable effect

DIR. F. r. Smyth

DR.. F. r. Smyth
Few North Dakota pioneers led more active
or more useful life than the late DR.. F. R. Smyth
Of Bismarck, whose death is being mourned by
many today. As young physician he settled
at Steele. N. D., and during the entire period of
his career, he was identified with the Slope
territory. DR.. Smyth took deep and earnest
interest in public affairs far beyond what men,
bers Of his busy profession often do. He was
tireless in his work and always willing to assist
in any worthy public work.
Approaching all public questions honestly and
frankly, one never had to guess where DR..
Smyth stood. He was open and above board in
al activities and often told some wholesome
truths right from the shoulder and without
seeking to evade or dodge an issue.
Bismarck can well honor his memory. For
years he had charge Of the health work of the
county and city. Later he directed the state
work of the United States Bureau of Public
Health and at the time of his death was at the
head Of that important phase of public health
work. During the war and years afterwards,
he served as a member Of the Burleigh County
Red Cross chapter and did excellent work.

Is prohibition enforcement districts
will have been replaced by success
full competitors for their jobs.
Nevertheless, the performance Of
the men who held these administra.
tive posts by political appointment
was far better, when faced with the
necessity Of proving their qualifica-
tions in competition on Z merit
basis, than that of the $500 pro-
hibition agents, Investigators and in
spectors. Prohibition Commissioner
James N. Doran complained several
months ago that rs per cent of
those rank and filters had failed to
pass the written mental exams, with
still more to be weeded out by oral
exams and characters investiga-
tions.
Unless there b. some unan-
nounced instance where an admin
istrator on the job was refused re-
appointment by the Prohibition
Unit, after being certified by the
Civil Service Commission, the civil
service test appears to have been
poison for administrators of those
enforcement districts with head
quarters in Boston, Savannah,
