popular subscription In the United
States.
Although received on June 10. 1885,
the statue was not unveiled until &c.
tober. 1850. Some Of its dimensions
will prove interesting. The nose Is

feet long and 5 feet in circumference;
and the head, II feet high.

the statue, g many a. 1900 birds have

THE VISION
(By Alice JudSon Peale)

At an exhibit of children's paintings
recently held at a modern school there
was q life size picture Of q 10-year.old
girl.
It represented a slim brown maiden
rising from the chalice Of an opening
flower. About her body budding vines
twisted upward and from her head
rose q circle of bright flame.
The picture was childishly out Of
proportion. The body was unsym-
metrical and quite unanatomical.
The arms were long. Yet with all its
imperfcctions the picture suggested
real beauty.
Perhaps the reason was that the
vision which the child had tried to
put or paper was In q profound sense
her own and sprang from the intu.
itions CT her growing girlhood. She
had had the courage to express that
inner vision and the courage to let
1t stand with all the imperfections Of
execution.
Only rarely do children thus truly
do creative work. The fault is ours.
The drive for a perfect result is the
will % the wisp that has misled many
q loving parent and many an other
wise inspiring teacher.
We see a child at work and for the
life of us we cannot hold our tongues
or keep hands off. We. who can
not possibly know what essences Of
beauty the child Is striving for. freely
offer him advice and correction.
Few Of US could have borne the
sight Of that young artist painting
uneven shoulders and q lopsided face.
We would have shown her exactly
where she was wrong and just how
she could make It right.
It does not take much Of this sort
Of thing to make q child's inspiration
take flight and leave In its place the
unhappy effort to do exactly what
We tey her.

It is estimated that q third set of locks for the Panama
canal would carry all traffic offered for perhaps a cen

BECOMING CONVENTION CITY

This is the kind of Bismarck We all love to see
something doing every minute this week, something
worthwhile.
It is the kind of Bismarck that is coming. When the
city voted approval Of the memorial community building
project it set the wheels in motion for just such activities
as are under way here this week.
State firemen, circus, county fair races, street dances,
insurance men meeting, county club organizations con-
ferring. tourists pouring in-this is an advance picture OF
what may be expected next year, when the city will have
Q home for all such gatherings as choose to come here
to the, then, best prepared city in the state to entertain
them.
It is an encouraging picture to those who conducted the
memorial ccmmunity building campaign on the platform
that Bismarck must prepare to accommodate the various
state bodies which will be glad to come here, because Of
the fine hotel accommodations, If but a meeting place
adequate to their deliberations be provided.
A good start already has been made for next year.

picked this city for next years gathering. 1t is an i'm
portant conference and a considerable number of work

Likewise that large and notable body, the State Mcdi-
cal association, is booked to hold its 1880 convention here.
It is an honor to get the annual meeting Of such an i'm

Vying with the physicians and surgeons in Importance
and dignity is the State Bankers association. That met at
Minot this year and decided to come here next year.

headed by Tom Allen can perform no more valuable
service to the city than to keep on adding state gather
ings to the list starting Off SO auspiciously for 1890.

REVOLT TURNS TO PIRACY

It is all very well to explain that the recent attack on
the city Of Willemstad, in the Dutch West Indies Island
OF Curacao, was the work of disgruntled rcvolutionbts
from Venezuela. We know better than to believe any
thing like that. The pirates are coming back!
WilemStad, you must remember, is a town that has
known piracy from of old. It lies right in the middle of
the great stamping ground Of the buccaneers; it has
known forays like this of the venezuclans. time without
number.
To be sure, this is the year 1929. and the Caribbean
sea has been free from pirates for many years. Yet this
story is too good to spoil. Every man who has any taste
At all for the wild tales Of an earlier day will insist that
Willemstad was raided, not by crack-brained insurrectos,
but by regular. sure-enough pirates.
Consider the facts Of the case. In the dead of night q
band of some 200 armed men creep into the peaceful har-
Dor. They seize the governor and various other function
aries, shoot down sundry policemen, take possession of an
American steamer and clear out, in typical pirate fashion.
just as the tropic dawn comes out over the sea to the
east.
Naturally this has caused q stir. The Dutch have sent
: warship or two to the spot, post-haste. Gomez, swarthy
dictator Of Venezuela, protests that the business was none
Of his doing. The American state department. mindful
Of the Monroe doctrine, cocks a wary eye toward Curacao
and prepares to do what may be necessary.
But the rest Of us, who have no direct concern in it,
must not let it be dismissed as an act of revolutionists. II
we have any love at all for the romance that is fast dis
appearing from q mechanical world. we must insist, to
the last gasp. that 1t was piracy. We must scan the Car
ibbean horizon for the jolly Roger, and prepare to read
that the raiders capt:ves have been made to walk the
plank.
Think of it-around Point Gallinas, a few miles west Of
Wilemstad. lies the tabled city of Cartagena, sacked by
Drake. To the eastward is Port OF Spain, famed in pirate
lore for centuries. Northward is the magic isle OF His
PAMELA (called Haiti by a prosaic age). where pirates got
the name Buccaneers. Toward the sunrise lie the Lee
ward islands-Tortuga. Antigua. Barbados. San Domingo
and &c rest. The Stubby carronades of unwashed nirates
have crashed and rumbled all over this part of the map.
Hardly . cove along the shore line but has harbored some
battle -smitten galeon or other.
We must stick to it. Presently, let US hope, 'hese raid
es will Be captured-to be hanged on execution dock,
-. t.en exposed in chains for weeks afterward, to ter
rfy evil-doers. It would be 4 splendid ending for q re-
1resaing tale.

a lew years ago It was hard to believe that hard sur
faced roads would supplant the graveled highways of
northern Wisconsin,, Justly famed for their good condi-
ton. But the ever increasing traffic has shown that
gravel surfaced roads cannot Withstand the grind of mo-
tor car wheels. so that minds are open today for the
building OF concrete highways. With Chippewa county
paving Highway So. the last link to be finished this
year. and with Barron county to start its program on
paving Highway 50 next year. it will soon be up to Wash
burn county to entertain such program.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Hyperacidity

QUESV1ONS AMI ANSWERS
H~yperacidity
Question-A. M. asks: Twill you
please advise me what to do? I have
an acid system"
Answer-What you probably mean
Is that you have hyperacidity Of the
stomach. This can be cured II you
will learn to live on the proper food
combinations. Follow the menus sug-
gested in this column, and you will
soon notice a change for the better.
Symptoms Of Poor Elimination
Question-C. j. asks: what causes
a bad taste in my mouth in the morn
ing and sometimes all day? Also,
what causes my tongue and mouth
and throat to be always coated? Does
the fact that I don't drink very much
water have anything to do with this?"
Answer-1nsufficient elimination of
toxins from the body IS probably re-
sponsible for the coating Of your
tongue and the bad taste In your
mouth. You can increase kidney
elimination through drinking large
quantities Of water, but you must also
diet and exercise to overcome the
sluggish condition of your colon and
to make the bile from your liver flow
moro readily.
Cereals and High Blood Pressure
Question:. L. B. asks: rs flax
seed meal good to use as a cereal or
breakfast food? And should a person
with high blood pressure use cereals
at all?"
Answer It is better to mix the
flaxseed meal with some other break
fast food, such as real wholewheat
grain, or with one of the dextrinized
flake breakfast foods. Those with q
very high blood pressure should not
use cereal foods ct any time until they
have well conquered the tendency to
arterial tension or hardening OF the
arteries.

found your column very helpful, but
I have not seen anything published
on psoriasis. ! have had many cleo.
trio treatments. salves, ointments,
ETC., and several skin specialists have

Answer-Your trouble can be en-
ttrely cured II you will follow the cor.
rect diet treatment. Space does not
permit me to print the complete in.
structions, but II you wall write to me
again, sending your name and ad.

OUR MEAT

II Enelands great staple of diet is supposed to be roast
bccf. the national meat of the United States seems to be
pork.
At any rate, the American people cat more pork than
any other meat. Figures compiled In the Outline of Bus
mess, issued by the Central National bank of Cleveland,
show that more than one-half of all the meat eaten in
the United States is pork. with beet ranking second and
veal, lamb and mutton trailing in the rear.
incidentally, we are eating more meat now than ever
before. In 1919 the per capita consumption Of meat in
this country was 100 pounds; now it has gone up to 1873,
and it's still rising.

LABELED CITIES

There is nothing fantastic about the suggestion that
comes from the federal department Of commerce that
those cities aspiring to a place in the rapidly growing
field Of commercial aviation shall label themselves SO they
can be recognized from the air. Names prominently dis
played and arrows indicating the approach to the landing
fields arc all within the possibilities of the immediate
future. and the method and style of marking arc a SUBJ
jcct for practical ingenuity.
1t might not be out Of place to make similar provision
for the benefit Of motor tourists. Many ~postofficcs arc
already suitably labeled, but it would help if all towns
and cities would suitably identify themselves by signs.
The French, in their Morocco protectoratc, have rccog-
nizcd this need. and their location and distance signs arc
painted on white fences or walls and are thus made Wis
IDLE for miles. They cannot be very ornamental, but arc
certainly less offensive than the advertising boards that
everywhere disfigure American highways.

A LIGHT BULB AND A TRAGEDY

n LINHI OOLO AND n
A very small thing can cause a tragedy in this modern
world.
Investigators have proved that an ordinary electric
light bulb caused the dreadful fire and explosion in the
Cleveland Clinic hospital, where l2e people lost their
lives.
1t wasn't the fault Of the light bulb, of course. 1t had
simply been left hanging too close to the nflammab
X-ray films. Turned on for a long time, the bulb got
overheated and set the film on firc-and a terrible
tragedy was the result.
Fate strikes its blows in a strange way, sometimes.
Who would have thought that an ordinary light bulb
could be the means Of bringing 1875 people to their
deaths?
