>. If we are to get into touch with
America it is important that we should analyze
her reactions to her own problems rather than
her reactions to ours. The American constitu-
ton, surely the most inelastic in the world, has
made it very difficult for the United States to
be nodded by experience or to go back on error.
What has once been done tends to be perpet-
uated. In no country is the middle of the road
so inaccessible. Prohibition is a very good case
in point. No presidential candidate dare come
out on the subject, and the moderate man is
more or less content to allow the matter to
lapse into semi-accepted nonobservance. But
if this view Of the law is allowed in one case,
why not in another? Contrary to the sancti-
monious Nordic view, lawlessness in America is,
am convinced, to be laid less at the door of
the foreign immigrant than of the rabid re-
former. For as soon as number Of acts that
no sane man thinks wrong are labeled criminal
the law falls into disrepute, for it has become
not protection but an irritant. When we say
Americanism we mean point of view about
life that is new and alien to us.

All.Weather Roads Pay
(Long Prairie, Mimi, Leader)

(lIOnR Fralrle, MlnIl., Leauer)
More and more it is coming to be realized
that. in building roads, they must be built for
winter use as we'll as for summer use There is
as much need for travel in winter as in sum-
mer. In fact, there is more need, for winter
travel is more apt to be the necessary travel,
while summer travel runs much to JOY and
pleasure riding. The past winter has shown
again that the graded road is the big money
saver when it comes to removing snow and
keeping the roads open. The roads that had
good grades with proper bitches at the sides
were clear Of snow practically all the time. The
roads built level with the fields and without
proper bitches, were the snow-blocked roads
and the roads that took the snow removal
cash. Again, it appears this spring that
the history of the year before is repeated
the roads where the snow was removed
are the roads which this spring are the
earliest dry and in good condition for
travel. Even the high snow banks at the
sides in some mysterious manner have soaked
away without filling the roadbeds with
water. This has been true in every case except
where the road grade was such as to make it
impossible for the water from the snow banks
to run anywhere except into the roadbed. The
fear that piling up snow banks is going to ruin
the spring roads seems to be groundless one.

Coming, Congressman Dickinson

~ ~ Bismarck and all the Missouri Slope country
M interested in the coming visit of Congress
than L. j. Dickinson Of Iowa. He is to be the
orator of the day at Bismarcks Fourth of July
Celebration.
te Mr.. Dickinson qualities as farm economist
sand as national authority upon the problems
eff agriculture. His viewpoint is that of a
wractical farmer who has made life study of
Hhe needs of the agricultural west. Yet he is
lawyer and college graduate.
50 s. North Dakota knows Mr.. Dickinson best by
iris congressional record. He has been construc-
csive, loyal to the interest of the farm
eecrs and business men Of the west and in his
advocacy of those interests he is able and
tilrilliant.
&c The Fourth of July occasion usually does not
-.fford public speaker the best opportunity fol
nntetting big message over effectively. Yet
afhere is no reason why serious thought and the
Fourth of July occasion should be irreconcil-
w~ble.
III Western North Dakota will welcome Mr.
aDicknson and it will give him an old-fashionec
li~estern reception, for he is it's friend and {
S'riend that North Dakota appreciates.

is from the best of the scientifically developed

is from the best of the scientifically developed
beef strains.
Texas loves the longhorn for the memories
that he represents. He is to Texas sort of
sacred steer. He could run faster than any
steer that ever lived. He could endure much,
but as beefsteal; he would be esteemed total
loss by the standards of today.
Time was when the longhorn had his place
in North Dakota. Few there are here now who
can remember that day.
Today we have purebred sire campaigns and
purebred sire sales. Range cattle show the
effects of good breeding, especially in the sales
price at the stockyards.
There are longhorns in every walk of life.
But they are passing as the longhorn steer
passed. The elimination campaign is on in
every human undertaking. It's results are
most evident
And perhaps it is not too much to hope that
some day it will reach the field of practical
politics in our own North Dakota. And when
it does what lot of casualties there will be in
all present political aignments.

CALCIUM STARVATION

Every tissue Of the body contains
organic calcium, which is also
known by the name of lime. The
hard tissues such as the osseous OF
bony structure, and the firm tendons
and ligaments contain the largest
proportion Of this valuable element,
but no cell of any other part Of the
body can live for very lon::: unless
calcium is included in its mineral
composition.
The blood is predominantly al
kaline, and death ensues as soon
as this alkaline balance is lost and
the blood becomes overcharged with
acids. Judging health as 100 per
cent, if the blood contains only one
half as much alkali as it should, the
health of that individual so de-
prived Of alkaline bases is certain
" not over SO per cent of the
normal. Calcium stands as the
greatest source Of this blood sup
ply Of alkaline salts.
Efforts are being made by chem
lists to develop some method of sup
plying this lime to the tissues
through artificial means. but their
efforts have so far completely failed
and we are forced to fall back upon
the natural source so obvious at all
times. This natural supply car
come only from the use of food
which is rich in calcium and which
has not been de-mineralized by toe
much preparation and changing by
food merchants.
Whole grains include calcium in
abundance in their chemical com.
position, but this element, as well
as many others, is completely lost
in the roller-mill process used ir
making white flour.
Cows need the whole grain to re.
main in health and give life to their
calves. If fed on white flour they
sicken and die within q few weeks
This is because of starvation for the
necessary organic minerals of thu
whole grain. If the cows are only
fed partly on white flour, theil
calves will be born dead, or livt
only a few hours. What chance d.
human mothers have to be healthy
or bring into the world vigorous off
spring when over so per cent o.
their diet during the CESSATION pc
|riod is composed Of victuals made
from bolted flour? If sufficien
supply of the leafy green vegetables
lis used, the loss of the whole grain
will not be felt but If only excesse'
of pure starch are used, the bloot
will be robbed of it's reserve of cal
cium and the cells must suffer from
such loss.
People who use an excess Of de
calcified foods will always complain
of being run down." If they eve
expect to run up" again this cal
only be brought about by the U.s.
Of unrefined foods which will "ru1
up" their calcium units in the cells.
Calcium starved patients canno
digest food properly, as this ele
ment is indispensable in making tn
digestive ferments, without whicl
the chemistry Of digestion and as
similation cannot take place.
If you have enough calcium i
your blood, when a wound is acct
dentally made, the blood will coagu

glass Of beer. To my amazement
the place had doubled in size and
it was almost impossible to get tt

crowd had been rough and rowdy,
with frazzled women hanging about
the back table, it now was as smart

young women on hand than men.
The tables reminded me of the Dome

customed to sit and drink alone. It
