The voters, however, must be warned that
II they desire to wipe out the so-called state

can be done and that is through the legisla-

threat of socialism and hold out to the voters
that League regime means greater state in

It is time that North Dakota had one cam.

that the Independents frankly tell the voters

The Jazz Mutiny

It is to be hoped that the ghosts of the tarry.
handed old British sailors of Nelson's day have
not heard about the recent "mutiny," or what
ever it was. on the British warship Royal Oak
This affair developed, according to dis
patches, when the captain refused to allow a
jazz band to play aboard ship.
British naval vessels saw mutinies occasion
ally in the old days-but never over anything
like that. The old-timers could put up with
weevily bread, semirotten salt beef and vim
egar-like lime juice for month after month
they could endure things that modern Jack
never imagines; and when they mutinied, il
was real mutiny. But mutiny over Jazz
band! The old-timers would pull down Davy
Jones' locker in sheer disgust.

gies in industrial expansion. All over the land
mills began to shoot their black smoke. toward

There are few Of the pioneers left. Elwood

bone himself, but many butchers
purchase their ssboneless cuts" from
the packing houses. These are easy,
for the inexperienced butcher to
handle, but some claim that the
meat deteriorates rapidly after so
prepared and shipped.
In tomorrow's article I will ex-
plain about the best ways OF using
the cheaper cuts Of beef.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Question: N. D.. w. asks: "ls
there any help for my father, who
has . WOODY feeling in his head
and sometimes falls, otherwise seems
well?"
Answer: It is not possible for
me to diagnose cases by mail as
well as your family physician can
who has the opportunity to phys
ically examine your father. A good
diagnosis should determine the cause
Of his trouble.
Question: r. L. asks: "Are
Shredded Wheat Biscuits an. alkiline
or acid food? Should salt be used
in cooking oatmeal or other cereals?
If, SO how much salt to pint Of
water?"
Answer: Shredded Wheat is made
Of shreds Of real wholewheat and
then toasted. It can be considered a
neutral food, according to the acid
and alkaline classification. / do
not advocate seasoning any cereals
while they. are cooking. Oatmeal
may be seasoned afterwards with
salt, butter or cream, but no sugar.
Question: Mrs.. M. w. asks:
"What is the treatment for lack of
hydrochloric Acid?n
Answer: Many people who think
they have . lack Of ihydrochloric
acid have received this impression
after having laboratory test made
Of the stomach contents, pumped out
after meal Of crackers and water,
or toast and tea. This is an un-
reliable test for stomach acidity, as
no gastric juice Is needed to digest
either the toast or the crackers. If
any acid at all is found in this test,
it is probably due to overacidity;
but, on the other hand, q total lack
Of hydrochloric acid in the gastric
juice does not indicate anything in
particular unless the test is made
after . meal where some protein
has been taken. The Importance Of
such tests Is often overestimated.
II there Is really lack Of hydro
chlofic acid, the best treatment is to
stimulate the gastric secretions by
the use Of fruit juices taken either

A LESSON ON BEEF MEAT


Many families do not uss . much
meat ~ they SHOULD because they
consider il too. expensive. But the
truth Is, there - hardly . food sub
stance which contains 20 much val
liable aIouFishment in the same
amount ut the same price.
One fault II that most people use
too much meat ct q meal when q
quarter to Z half pound Of lean meat
= day is the most healthful amount
for the adult. Another point which
is not generally realized is that the
cheaper cuts Of meat are just as
nutritious and can be made lust as
appetizing - the more expensive
sirloin and porterhouse steaks.
There is . limited amount Of these
so-called choice cuts Of meat, and
the high prices prevail largely be-
cause the general public will not buy
the cheaper but - highly nutritious
parts.
For ordinary family use the house,
wife with . limited allowance for
food should use more care and study
in selecting the less, expensive meats.
American prime beet has earned
the reputation Of being the best in
the world. This 10 because Of recent
Improvement in breeding, feeding,
and shipping. At one time the long,
horn Texas steer was. the accepted
American type, but this steer is now
virtually obsolete, Is the result Of
mixed breeding with high class inn
ported stock. Range feeding exclus-
lively has been succeeded BY grain
feeding, scientifically controlled for
q long time before slaAghtering.
The average American consumes
one hundred and seventy-five pounds
Of meat q year, while English people
only average one hundred and ten
pounds per capita. The French eat
ony about one-twentieth as much as
the English, and the Germans, Aus.
TRANS and Italians even less than
this.
Beef can be considered both as q
flesh forming and energy food as
it contains fifteen and twenty per
cent Of protein, and also a consider.

best after it has been hung for a
while and aged. fresh beef even
cut from young animals is tougher
than older meat which has been

The best beef when fresh has Z

fat must be looked upon with sus-
picion, although, this is not sure

Rebels in the Pantheon
(Nev gYnrk Timesl

(NeWf 1Ork 1lneS)
For dissident voice in the national acclaim
that has marked Ibsens centenary one would
have to 60 back to Ibsen himself The satir-
list of the earlier social plays might have found
a great deal of material in the public banquets
and the gala opera performances and the uni
versity ceremonials at OSLO If DR.. Stockmann
Of IAN Enemy of the People" was right in as
serting that majority is always wrong, the
proceedings at the Norwegian capital would
be no tribute to Ibsen's real worth; the par
Elephants in the festival were much more than
a majority of his countrymen. But even the
Stockmanns do not deny that in the long run
q majority can be won over to the truth. 1t
is, in fact, by appealing to future majorities
that strong man finds the ability to stand
alone. Of such reversals of the popular judg-
ment it is the customary thing to say that the
majority has caught up with the pioneers, the
many have been converted by the one. This
is in large measure true. But it is also true
that the reconciliation is ore of the heart as
cries and heals wounds, and leaves behind the
rebels achievements. Ibsen was trying son
to Norway in his earlier artistic years. What
is remembered now is that he was son.
The three Scandinavian countries have been
peculiarly blessed with gifted children who
began by being great trial and ended up as a
glory to the family. Ibsen in Norway, Georg
Brandes in Denmark and somewhat less en-
phatically, Strindberg in Sweden were rebels
IN the home. They had to seek recognition
under foreign skies before becoming reconcilea
with their own people. It may be that even
such potent rebels were not immune to the
softening influence of success. Having won a
European audience they were in the mood to
view things bit more generously in the ma
tive scene. And the home folks, it goes with
out saying, always stand ready to recognize
unsuspected merit in the boy who has gone
out into the world and made good" Norway
and Denmark together have little more than
per cent of Europe's population; yet the two
have produced in Ibsen and Brandes the great.
est playwright of the nineteenth century and
the greatest critic of the second half of the
century.
It is the fate, though by no means tragic
fate, of such rebels against the established
conventions and values that they should be-
come powerful advertising agents for their ma
tive lands. The higher statistics would have
no difficulty in proving that Ibsen and Brandes
rendered service of a very considerable money
value to their countries. But the chief serv-
ice Is in their affirmation Of the national
genius. There have been great or notable
writer's who have never been wholly accepted
by their countrymen-Heine and lola and, to
some extent, Thomas Hardy. In the case of
Ibsen his countrymen were long ago brought
to take him for one of their own.

ton at Houston are proceeding in
a manner calculated to tickle al
concerned, whereas the situation
facing the Republicans at Kansas
City has thus far produced more

The delegates themselves must be

Houston and sweet harmony at
Kansas City.

Mr.. Glenn Shaver, the chairman
Of the Democratic National Commit
tee, beams proudly and contentedly.
He has been able to announce the
squaring Of the party debt and now
can promise the 1O, 900 or more Dem
ocrats whom he couldn't squeeze into
the Jackson Day dinner here q good
chance to see the Houston show
and q fair chance Of first-class or
nearly first-class accommodations.
Furthermore, Mr.. Shaver is able
to contemplate with what is prob
ably no serious attack of melan-
cholia the somewhat less fortunate
case Of Mr.. William NJ. Butler, the
Republican chairman, who pushed
his convention into the lap Of Kan
sas City.
Mr.. Shaver Is able to report that
the convention hall now being built
in Houston will seat at least 10000
persons.
Furthermore, no one will miss
this performance who comes ia
Houston whether he can crash in

platform spectators will, be kept

the crowd.
Everyone In Texas not vitality
needed at home will be 1t the con-
vention, one hears, and every other
one in states adjacent. This is the
first political convention to reach the
south since-well. It wasn't in our
time, if ever. That helps explain
why Houston is preparing for this
convention as does q prospective
bride.
No other city ever put mp 80 much
cash as Houston, which has added
to the 100000 which she promised
the national committee appropri-
atoms of $3.50, 900 to beautify herself
and SITS, 900 for the new auditorium.
No other city ever swent % 4arsto
more than satisfy the needs Of the
party and It's administrative Officers.
Mr.. Shaver il 50 full Of thankfulness
that he tells everyone who. will listen.
While Houston has been Planting
its half million rose bushes, elm
mating all detours from Texas roads
and cleaning up its bay and the
battlefield Of San Jacinto, Mr..
Shaver has been receiving applica-
lions for reservations for 5000
persons from his national committee
men. These will have to be taken
care Of in the best available hotels
along with many others and between
Houston and Galveston it is believed
that the thousands Of unattached
visitors will be taken care Of.
Mr.. Butler can report no such
luck. Mr.. Butler and his subordin-
ates, in fact, considered taking the
convention away from Kansas City
until they realized that this would
be worse than leaving it there. On
the other hand, certain minority
Kansas City sentiment is reported
for giving the convention back 70
Mr.. Butler. It appears that Kansas
City, like most other bidders, over
estimated its facilities.
Realizing this, the national COM
mittee drastically took over the
convention management, including
ALLEGATION Of accommodations, from
local hands. The convention hall
holds but 10000 persons and many
local residents won't be able TO get
