Owner of Prison
Underwear Sought

Officials of the North Dakota
state penitentiary at Bismarck
could not throw any light today on
the mystery Of the wooden under.
wear.
The prisoner who hum his UNDER
wear on a fence to dry near the
power plant at Devils Lake, did not
escape from the North Dakota pris-
on.
The woolens were found by an
employe of the Otter Tail Power
company at Devils Lake, and re-
ported to the police department.
The clothing attracted his attention
when he noticed suspicious numbers
in several rlaces, and the matter
was reported because the markings
resembled those usually used by
penal institutions.
The numbers, 1927, were stencil
led in large type on the underwear,
but there were no other markings
to indicate where the garments
might belong. State prison Off
cials said they had a prisoner years
ago with number 1927 but he had
long since been pardoned.
Usually when q Prisoner is re-
leased from q state penitentiary he
is given new underwear without
markings. The finding Of the un-
derwear with the suspicious figures
is causing the chief of police Of
Devils Lake to inquire Of several
penal institutions if they have had
any recent escapes.

municable nature during the month

municable diseases in North Dakota
is not of serious concern at this

bered all others during the month,
there being 81. Scarlet fever was
second with So cases. Poliomyelitis,
or infantile paralysis cases num-
bered So. In the latter disease Penn

SEPTEMBER SUN STILL
STRONG

In the vast rea3m Of space we car
observe some fixed point % light-
the sta;... One of .hese, our sun. il
so near that it appears to be a bal]
II flame. Although the sun has Z
bulk Of one and one-four..a million
times as great as The earth, it ap.
pears relatively small to us. This
IS because of the tremendous dis.
tance between US and the sun. II. G.
Wells gives an interesting example.
ne states that if q bullet were fired
from a Maxim gun at the sun, main
tanning its muzzle velocity unimpair-
ed, it would take seven long years tu
reach its destination.
We cannot actually see the sun;
we only see clouds Of incandescent
metallic vapors. These intensely hot
substances vibrate with such force
that they throw ether, Of which
space is .oE posed, into q vibration
that is carried to the earth. Upon
striking the earth and material OBJ
Jects, these vibrations make them
selves felt to US as warmth and
light. Without an atmosphere to re-
tain this warmth, this world would
be chilly place.
Sunshine is essential to life. The
sun is the source Of every form Of
energy that our complicated civili-
cation has learned to use. Even the
energy from our food is energy from
sunshine that has been stored up by
plants.
The sun has a remarkable effect
upon Frightening our disposition az
we'll as our climates. On cloudy
days we feel gloomy; when the sun
shines we are cheerful. The barren
wastes of the frigid lands in the far
north are caused by q lack Of sun
shine; the tropical vegetation of the
warm zones could only grow because
of the abundance of warmth.
The Importance Of the sun was
realized even in prehistoric days, and
one Of the first religions of human
beings was the sun worship which
was based On the life-giving forces
of the sun.
People who are weak and old feel
comforted by basking in the sun
light. Science has discovered that
sunlight stimulates the growth Of
children. Even many of our foods
when exposed to the ultraviolet rays
Of the sun become more nourishing.
1t has long been known that codliver
oil has some property in it which
prevents rickets, and science now be-
lieves that is only the effect of
stored up sunlight which the Goldfish
secures from small sea plants.
Scientists have named this property
vitamin D, and have produced It
artificially in many other foods by
exposing them to the ultraviolet
rays.

CURBING THE DISHONEST TWO

-edit men have good word to say for the honesty
Of Americans, and nobody is in better position to
know.
With credit statistics in their hands from virtually
every city and town in the United States they estimate
that only one charge account Of every $500 is bad and
| that SO per cent Of the people are honest.
This trustworthiness Of the public explains why 70
cent Of all retail business in the larger cities can
be done through charge accounts with safety to the
n. chant. The fact that so much business is
transacted on the credit basis is proof Of the inherent
honesty Of the great majority Of people.
1t not to be presumed that the dishonest two per
cent al prey upon business at the expense the honest
SO per cent although it is true that those who do not
pay their bills rob those who do not the merchant since
losses are included in the business overhead.
Spread Of the credit system throughout the nation in
the form Of charge accounts and nstament plans has
resulted In the creation Of large army of credit men
and credit association nationwide in its scope These
credit ssociatons, agencies and working for
the protection Of the honest SO per cent by preventing
the dshoncs. two per cent from getting credit That
they have succeeded is obvious from the fact that while
two persons of every hundred dishonest in this
spect, there is only bad charge account in every
$500.

GROUPS AWAIT
MADDOX WORD
ON CANDID ACY
Governor Will Return to Bis
marck Monday or Tuesday
and May Make Statement

Political horizons today bore ne
trace of the Republican and Demo.
cratic organization battles which
have ragged here for the last three
days.
Having thrown monkey wrench
into the Hoover campaign in NORTH
Dakota by rejecting his candidacy
members of the Nonpartisan faction
of the Republican party were re.
turning to their homes. The Inde-
| pendent faction of the party, sup
porting Hoover, together with q few
Nonpartisans, made plans to carry
on the campaign despite the dis
union in the party. Democrats, hav-
ing ousted the faction which has
controlled the party for the last four
years, were preparing plans for
their campaign for Governor Smith.
All factions, however, were eager
ly awaiting an announcement from
Governor Walter Maddox, a Nom
partisan, as to whether he will seek
the governorship in the fall cam
paign.
Maddox Ats rejected as a candi-
date by the Nonpartisan faction last
winter. The endorsee lost and Mad
dock came to the governors chair q
week ago upon the death of the late
Governor Sorlie.
Some persons want Maddox to
run for governor on the Democratic
ticket. Others want him to run for
the governorship in the Independent
column.
Among those who had entered the
lists today in opposition to Mad
docks accepting the Democratic
nomination were the friends of Sen
ior Senator Lynn j. Frazier. They
see in the possibility of Maddox
running as Democrat a possible
strengthening of the Democratic
ticket to an extent which would
jeopardize Frazier's chance of re-
election.
Maddox is at his farm near
Plaza to finish harvest. Before leav-
ing he talked with Nonpartisans of
all shades Of opinion. He will re-
turn to Bismarck Monday or Tues
day and is expected 10 make a def
mite announcement of his plans at
that time.
Meanwhile The executive commit
tee of the Nonpartisan League yes
terday decided to 60 ahead with the
circulation of petitions for the can
didacy of DIR. l.. S. Platou, Fargo,
endorsed to make the race for the
governorship at Nonpartisan con-
vention at jamestown last July. The
convention. left open the question of
whether Platou, and two others en-
dorsed with him, should run as
Democrats or in the Independent
column, but Roy Frazier said today
that the executive committee would
have no traffic with the Democrats.
Whether or not William LANCER, Bis
marck, endorsed to run for the attor-
ney generalship, would make the
race remained a question but the
committee chairman said LANCER
had not refused to run.

A CONTENTED COBBLER
(Cf paul nisratch\

When his eighty birthday arrived, Daniel A.
Singerland, shoemaker Of Pompon Lakes New Jersey,
expected to celebrate it at work his bench But Of
cas of the town and old friends had other plans They
carried him off for his first holiday in 33 years.
Since he was 13 years old, when he worked in his
fathers shop at Rverdae N j. he has repaired half
million pairs Of shoes and never taken a vacation
Proper sleep heathfu food and clean living made him
contented to peg away every day at his bench and feel
need Of interlude Of rest When asked how much
longer he expected to stick to his shoemaking he an
swered with surprise: "All my life. of course!"
In this age Of thrills there those who would re.
gard the old cobblers an existence and not living
Yet there is doubt that he has found pleasure in it
health and peace Of mind Daily he does the task
over and over But who does not? He who finds such
things in his work, finds contentment.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS


Question: r. J. asks: care lem
ons and salt hard on the kidneys? !
drink two cups of hot water with a
little lemon juice squeezed into it
every morning, as ! have heard this
was good for biliousness, but have
also heard it was hard on the kid
neys."
Answer: The lemon juice you
take in the morning never actually
reaches the kidneys. All of the
citric acid fruits are beneficial to
the body if used properly, but no
matter how used, these fruits never
have any bad effect on the kidneys.
Be sure to take your water and
lemon juice at least thirty minutes
before breakfast. This is a good
stomach cleansing treatment and in
duces the flow of bile, but is best
used far enough away from a meal.
Question: Mrs. G. asks: "What
do you think Of the banana-nut
combination which all health maga-
zines recommend? Isn't this q pro-
tein-starch combination
Answer: Bananas and nuts do not
make good combination from the
standpoint of physiological chemis-
try.
Question: Reader asks: sTs it
possible to find out the parentage
Of child by blood test? If not,
is there any other way of proving
same?"
Answer: There is no accurate
way Of determining relationship by
blood tests, although many physi-
clans have advanced claims that
they have discovered methods Of
proving such relationship as a child
to its parents. My investigations
Of these claims have always shown
them to be exaggerated and not ac-
curate.
