Reduction in the rates on gasoline means a
great saving to the people of the state and
should be reflected in the price of this comnod-
ity. Oil products are also affected by the deer
sion of the interstate commerce commission.
The North Dakota board of railroad commits
sioners has been very active in this rate case
and is entitled to credit for the victory just
announced.
The commissioners continue to plug along
without the use of grand-stand tactics or the
ballyhoo, but are always alert to the best inter-
ests of the people of the state.
With the departure Of Frank Milhollan. Fay
Harding has been selected as chairman of the
board by his associates. Mr.. Harding IS we'll
equipped by past experience for this post. ne
has worked in complete harmony with Mr.. Mil
hollan for many years and is well known for
his excellent judgment on matters coming be-
fore the board.
A great amount of work has been placed
upon the shoulders of the commission within
the last few years until it has become one Of
the most important If not the most important
branch of state government Supervision and
regulation of utility rates as well as railroad
tariffs have more than doubled the functions
of this important board. It's contacts with the
public are manifold even to the regulation of
common carriers on the highways of the state,
q new function of increasing Importance with
the development Of motor transportation.
The public probably does not hear so much
of this state department because its personnel
is engaged in duties of highly technical
nature, but when great rate victory is hand
cd down the people should know just where the
c'edit belongs.

Total APPLICATIONS were 100000 in

"The country is growing bigger"

more and more contact with machin-
cry and inventive minds are stim-
ulated. And whenever people are out
of work they apparently get busy
making inventions. They have
plenty of time and are inspired with
the hope that they may devise a
short cut to wealth.
1--WE have had a tremendous in
crease in radio, automobile and
aviation applications. Nine of our
men are working on nothing but
internal combustion engines.
Inventions shouldn't be held up
more than q month. The present
situation here means a drag on in

more employment and the sooner
we get to producing it the better.
But often important inventions are
held up by lack of patents. Fin
ancing is withheld and all other plans
concerning the promotion and pro-
duction of the device are delayed.
"But all we can hope for here Is
action by Congress or marked
slump in invention if we are to keep
from running behind still further"
Invention hasn't yet been organ

laboratories of big corporations

is still on the job. Some of its pro.
ducts are feasible, but not for large
scale commercial production. Others
are freaks. From 800 to 1000 pat

almost as many applications are
refused. Some people are still try

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Question: A. H. G. writes:
Kindly advise if there is a cure for
neuritis Of about five years stand
ing, where patients limbs are dis
abled on account Of cartilage having
hardened in the joints. If there is
no absolute cure, would . strict fast
and diet relieve the awful suffering?
Z. ould warm climate be Of benefit
in preference to cold winters in
Minnesota"
Answer: The patient you ask
about Is probably suffering from ar
Thrills. I have never seen a case
that cannot be cured as far as re-
lieving the pains is concerned even
though the extra deposit Of calcium
in the joints cannot be entirely re-
moved. Warm climate encourages q
greater amount Of skin elimination,
but there is no reason why arthritis
or any type of rheumatism cannot
| cured in . cold climate, provi ing
the patient uses the proper amount
Of skin washing and encourages
elimination through certain hydro.
therapy treatments.
Question: Mrs. o. J. S. writes:
ever since your diet lessons APP
peared in the paper I have felt
better following them. I have been
and still am overweight but am
slowly reducing. I wish to know if
the genuine wholewheat bread is
fattening? Also rye bread?"
Answer: Any bread may be con-
sidered 'fattening."
Question: Puzzled writes: "When
impurities from cigarette tobacco
are deposited in the lungs by in
haling, do they remain there or are
they eventually carried away by the
blood?"
Answer: The tarry deposits from
the inhaling Of cigarette smoke are
gradually carried away through the
Emphatic circulate /, but Of course,
may have remained for a long
enough time to have done harm.

Forbes, analyzes the speculative

Lee believes is inevitable.
