ELECTRICAL TREATMENT
METHODS

The physician Of today who does
not use electrotherapy is guilty Of
gross negligence. There is no
method Of treatment which can be
applied to the ailing body that can
be used with more scientific accur.
acy.
You all know how much ! preach
the philosophy Of sef-cure and be-
lieve the patient should learn to
cure himself and not depend upon
others for help except to learn
from intelligent physicians how to
change his bad habits Of living to
good ones. Yet, there are times
when one is unable to get good ad-
vice regarding diet, exercise, etc,
and feels the necessity of relying
upon some treatment to assist in
bringing about satisfactory
change for the better. A short out
line of the treatment of the differ
ent ailments by electrotherapy may
be Of some help in encouraging you
to consult modern physician who
has the proper electrical equipment
to give such treatments.
1t is first essential that you un-
derstand how this force can bring
about q change in the body. The
different forms Of electricity can be
used to produce either a mechanical
or a chemical action on the bodily
structure, and many times these
two actions are combined in one
treatment.
The sinusoidal current will affect
muscle so as to contract it. BY
turning the current on anil off the
muscle contracts and relaxes in
much the same manner as if exer-
else were taken. BY the use Of suit
able appliances this current can be
applied to any Of the voluntary OF
involuntary muscles, and thus the
muscle is strengthened in a very
definite way.
This treatment is especially help
full in developing q better tone to
the abdominal muscles and those Of
the laSge intestine, which muscles
are weaker than normal with the
majority of people. This current
can even be used strongly enough to
make the bowels move involuntarily.
You can readily see to what num-
Der Of uses this contracting electric
al force may be applied with bene-
fit which cannot be obtained
through gallon Of medicine. Pro-
lapsed organs of the abdomen can
be raised to their normal position
with the resultant good effects
which can be maintained then sub
sequently by substituting systemat-
ic physical culture exercises for the
electrical treatment.
The igh-Frequency current acts
both mechanically by increasing the
circulation and chemically by as.
sisting metabolism. and is used ad-
vantageously in all heart trouble,

opinion of the city and the people who live in
it by the way it looks.
CALIFORNIA; booster spirit is famed. That
spirit grew out Of pride in its beautiful
cities. its magnificent ylstas, its clean and tidy
orchards and lands.
If Bismarck visitors think we'll of the home
town because it is spick and span, clean and
pretty, there cannot help but be a community
swelling Of chests and feeling of pride that
will bring booster spirit.
California was once barren waste Of sand
and sagebrush. North Dakota was once a
stretch of prairie grass and cottonwood trees.
To both states came progressive men who built
substantial cities, beautiful homes and loyal
citizens on foundations of cleanliness.
Where there is clean city. there you will
find clean citizens. Where there is disorder
~ and untidy city, there you will find riff
raft citizenry.

sites, into the hands Of such land
companies.
In 1896 Congress reformed" that
policy with law providing for sale
Of public lands on credit. This, it
was held, would enable the poor
settler to get land on equal terms
with the big fellows.
But the spectators went right
on obtaining vast tracts by the
simple process of bribing land Of
ficials to withhold the best areas
and to allow dummy" settlers first
choice. Later, when these lands
came into great demand they were
sold at greatly advanced prices.
The spectators then paid the gov
eminent out of the profits or evad-
ed payment altogether. In 1924 the
Illinois legislature complained that
nonresident SPECTATORS had the
best land.
There was a Senate Public Lands
Committee in those days, too. It
reported in 1884 that combinations
of spectators had united at public
sales to drive away competitors and
discourage poor men from bidding.
Buying at $1.25 an acre, they sold
later at exorbitant profits. lin
1920 the minimum price for gov
eminent land was lowered from 81
to SIPS, where it remains today.)
The committee said that registers
and receivers of the u. S. Land Of
flee had been bought up by the
spectators and had been receiving
portions Of the profits of the de-
frauders. It pointed to Ohio, Ala
bama. Mississippi and Louisiana
as "the principal theater Of specu-
lations and frauds in buying up the
public lands"
In southern states SPECTATORS
were to be seen leading Mobs Of
negroes, half breds and Migrants to
justices in remote countieS, where
lands were granted on affidavit to
each man, all to be turned over to
the specs"
The credit system was gradually
abandoned, but the practice Of auc-
tioning public lands continued, with
sales at the rate Of about 2,0O0, 900
acres a year. This land was sup
posed to be for the settlers. Most

Washington, May 5.-tP-The
original public domain was created
through cession by the original
thirteen states of 26O,O0O,OO0 acres
of their land holdings between the
Allegheny Mountains and the Mis-.
sissippi.
The Louisiana Purchase of 1908
and subsequen. territorial acquisi.
ton increased that acreage about
seven times. Our public lands al.
ways have been in 1.-THE west," fol
before the government was formed
all the land in the north and east
ern sections had been divided.
Earliest laws governing the pub.
lie domain permitted spectators
and large investors to obtain huge
tracts for small sums. There was
no qualification requiring that the
purchaser be a bona fide settler and
the absentee landlord system soon
spread over wide area Of what
had been the domain.
It appears from available records
that spectators and land compan-
les bribed congressman, state legis-
lators and land office officials from
the very start. In 1895, for in
stance, the Georgia legislature sold
several million acres Of land to four
large companies and so loud and
widespread was the accusation of
bribery that the people Of Georgia
elected an almost entirely new leg
islature which rescinded the sales.
After Georgia later coded this land
to the federal government, land COM
panies lobbied for 20 years for fed
eral reimbursement-a got it.!
Meanwhile, in Washington, the
Ohio Land Company had received
100000 acres by act Of Congress
in 1892. It bought some 100000
acres for $65O,OO0, and instead OF
paying in money, rendered at face
value government certificates and
army land warrants purchased at
very heavy discounts.
Ohio being directly in civiliza-
tons westward line of march, the
company was able to sell to settlers
with enormous profits. Meanwhile.
some state legislatures and individ-
uals were complaining at this prac-
tice of delivering choice lands, with
their timber, minerals and farm

Cleanup Week

Cleanup Week
Cleanup and Paint-up Week begins in Bis
tnarck Sunday.
The other day visitor remarked that he
liked Bismarck because it was such clean
city. It is to retain such good opinions as these
that we have cleanup and paint-up weeks
/. There are other reasons, too. Personal self
respect in every man requires that his home
and grounds be as clean and slightly as his
person.
Civic self-respect demands that Bismarck be
q clean place in which to live. There can be
no civic pride, no community loyalty for city
which has filthy streets, dirty yards, unpaint-
ed buildings and dwellings.

sure to think that.
And you're always so positive
that you know everything that's on
mans mind in regard to- his at
titude toward you. That is a great
mistake. Men are not less able to
hide their real feelings than women
are. And do you believe that a
woman can't keep a man from

him if she wants to?
I've been waiting to hear that
you've found out what q fallacy
your belief about this is. And
you've admitted it now. Let that

be anything but a matter Of regret

she goes out with other men.
