Editorial Comment
Speculation in Wheat
(St, Paul DiSpatch)

(St. Paul DiSpatch)
Stock market speculation and cabling in grain have
been favoritc topics Of violent denunciation In loose
language Of ~glittering generates. Short selling of stocks
and deals in wheat futures have been the particular evils
singled out for special treatment.
The legality and necessity Of short selling in the stock
market was quite definitely taken out of discussion years
ago when Charles Evans Hughes conducted an investiga-
ton Of the New York Stock Exchange and issued q re-
port which the public accepted as the final word on this
kind of trading. Most people dabbling in the market
are bulls buying for q rise. Unless bears took the
opposite ground and sold for a decline, initiation would
go to disastrous extremes.
In the wheat market purchases and sales for future
delivery nave become an established part Of the machin-
cry of business. Many Of these transactions are purely
speculative. but the hedging system is used by all ee-
ments In the trade from producer to miller and foreign
buyer to protect their business. Hedging for the legi-
innate buyer is insurance. the reverse Of gambling.
In every form of trading, there can be developed
methods of gambling and speculation ininical to legi-
innate business, and disastrous in particular to the pro-
Queer. But the same system that is perverted to unde-
sirable uses is also needed in the carrying on of honest
trade. Futures and hedging form an integral part Of the
present marketing system, whether carried on by specu-
lators taking a gamblers chance Or by buyers and sellers
for actual delivery.
The number and amount Of the gambling transactions
will gradually diminish as the new cooperative market
ing system and stabilzing operations increase. But not
until practically the entire wheat crop is taken under
control by the Farmers National Grain corporation, or
some other agency. for orderly marketing through actual
deliveries to purchasers, will trading in futures be wholly

ToWnley Enters the Race
Devils Lake Journal)

Y 40hO OUAAAd
A. c. Townley, who might be called responsible for
the political fortunes of a number Of North DakotanS
but who, himself, has refrained from running for public
office. finally has came to the conclusion that a maker
Of politicians should become a candidate for something.
Yesterday he announced himself a candidate for the
nomination of congress in the Third North Dakota dis
trct, where he will oppose the incumbent J. H. Sinclair.
VINO is enc of the products Of Townley's Nonpartisan
league organization.
Townley is an avowed wet while Congressman Sin
clair is an avowed dry, and, according to Townley's an
n~ouncement, the league organizer will campaign on the
wet issue, using a referendum in a second attempt to re-
peal the dry section Of the state constitution as the basis
for his campaign.
We might expect an interesting battle in the Third
district. Congressman Sinclair's hold on the voting ma
jority Of the district has never been seriously challenged.
T. Is = strong Nonpartisan section and Independent op-
position to league candidates has been comparatively
negligible. Moreover, the present congressman has an
excellent standing in Washington, and has acquitted
himself extraordinarily well as q representative.
Townley. on the other hand. has been the man be-
hind the throne. so to speak, in North Dakota politics
and has had no chance to determine his own strength
o q congressional candidate.
It Is improbable, however, that he will receive the
endorsement Of the Nonpartisan league when It con-
venss in Bismarck. inasmuch a. the dominating factions
Of the league will stick to the Sinclair candidacy and
will remain aloof from cspousing q candidate who will
conduct . campaign on the wet issue. Thus. it appears,
T1wnley may BE- compelled to run Independently Of any
political faction, which will make his campaign rather
q personal. and at the same time. difficult one.

DrsoRDERs or THE SKIN

DISORDERS OF THE SKIN
Dryness Of the skin or a~staetosis 4
caused by too little oil being secreted
by the glands. This may cause the
skin to crack and scale. giving II q
harsh appearance. First. cleanse the
skin with warm water and soap,
which should be rfnsed Oft, after
which q small amount Of olive oil o.
almond oil should be rubbed Ia. Dry
skin IS benefited by the application Of
a GOOD cold cream. In an over-dry
skin the circulation Is not normal
and the cells are starving for tat Or
lubricating oil. Any exercise which
tends to quicken the circulation o.
the skin, such as slapping. will tend
to bring on the normal secretion OF
oil. A large quantity Of oils and fats
may be added to an otherwise bal
anced diet.
Pimples Of Acne
This is a very persistent trouble
frequently occurring at adolescence.
The best treatment for pimples Is
change of diet, using lots Of oranges,
apples, melons and other fruits. and
plenty Of vegetables for both lunch
con and dinner, and using at least one
large raw salad daily. All rich fatty
foods must be avoided. including such
foods as chocolate. nuts, cheese. ice
cream, etc.
1t IS q good plan to use q daily
warm shower followed by cold. and q
brisk rubbing ove the entire body
with q rough towel, especially over
the areas affected by the acne. For
the face, steam the skin gently then
open the whitehead Of the pinples
with a sterile needle, which has been
sterilized In q flame and gently press
out the pus with the pressure Of the
fingers upon q clean towel at each
side Of the pimple. Where there IS
a severe Gaze Of acne, 1t would be well
to write in for detailed information
about treatment.
Chapping
Chapping Of the skin often occurs
with dry skins where there Is q lack
Of the normal l~ubricating oil. The
skin may roughen and crack painful

d Is the
Anniversary of
McKINLEY'S BIRTH

MckINLEY'S BIRTH
On January 20, 1843, William Nc
kinley, 10th president Of the United
States. was born at Niles, Ohio.
As the seventh In q family Of nine
children. Mckinley was obliged to
enter at an early age the iron in
dustry, the trade of his father. He
studied at Allegheny college. but left
1t to teach school.
Deserving the classroom to enlist at
the outbreak Of the Civil war, McKin-
ley served with such distinction with
the Union army that he was mustered
out q major.
After studying law, and passing the
bar, he attracted considerable atten-
ton by campaigning for Rutherford
Hayes, who was running for governor
OF Ohio. As q result, Mckinley was
elected to congress and served seven
consecutive terms In the lower house.
In 1891. he was elected governor Of
Ohio. and again his work attracted
attention. When the Republicans
convened ct st. Louis to nominate a
candidate for president, Mckinley
was easily the choice.
The outstanding events which
marked McKinley's first administra-
ton as president were the Spanish
var and the subsequent acquisition
Of Porto Rico. the Philippines and the
Island Of Guam.
The president was reelected. but his
second term was cut short by an as
sassin's bullet. His death plunged
the nation In deep grief.

Arthur knight had been looking
forward all year to-the time when

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
perit0nitig

Question: w. A. D. asks: "What is
the cause of peritonitis, and how long
can q patient have same before death
takes placer"
Answer: Peritonitis means inflam-
nation Of the peritoneum which is
the smooth covering inside of the alb
dominal wall. All Of the abdominal
organs, such rs the intestines, blad-
der, uterus, ETC., come directly in on
tact with the peritoneurn, and so an
inflammation Of any Of these organs
may extend to this abdominal lining.
Most people have peritonitis in at
least q mild form many times during
their lives. The most serious form
comes after an abdominal operation.
when septicemia takes place around
the site Of the incision. This is not
necessarily fatal, and the proenosis
OF any cases Of peritonitis varies of
course with the severity of the In
Illumination.
Milk For Adults
Question: Mrs. H. asks: docs the
adult require milk? If so. when
should he drink it?"
Answer: Milk is a very good food
containing many valuable food ele-
ments, but Is not at all necessary for
an adult II other foods are used to
take the place Of milk. When milk
Is taken 1t should be used by itself or
IN combination with fruit or with
some Of the non-starchy vegetables.
It Is not as easily digested II mixed
With proteins or starches, and seems
to interfere also with their digestion.

cold weather brings on chapped
hands and lips. Some Of the causes
are exposure to cold and biting wind,
washing too often with harsh soaps.
and not drying the skin, thoroughly
after washing. Use mild soap an6
warm water, and do not rub the skin
too vigorously. After drying thor

also be used.
Cold Sores and Fever Blisters
The cold ore probably got its name
from the fact that It Is often found
with people who have colds. It is a
little blister generally occurring near
the mouth. Although it may develop
on the eyelids. It appears suddenly
and Is tender. altough without great
pain. Sometimes the sore dries up
and q scab may form over like q crust.
After the crust falls off. q reddish
spot IS left Indigestion as well as a
cold may cause these. Children have
them more frequently than adults.
and women more frequently than
men. A cold. brisk wind may bring
them out. Cold sores are q digestive
warning. It is a good plan to, keep
the sore clean and use nothing but
acid fruits for several meals. Put
pure borated vaseline over the blister.
