Editorial Comment
The Double Standard Is Gone

DUIlk III lii
President G. e. Alien Of the North Dakota State Icacn-
ors college at Valley City announced the other cay that
Il ne caught any young women students Of tnlt instltu-
ton smoking they would be asked to leave the college
ANY g1rf VINO smoked was sirrp ply wasting her time there,
ne said for ne would not recommend her as 4 teacher.
And the argument is on
me jamestown Sun, taking the modern view, wants
to know. Just why should the girl VINO puts at q c'gar-
cite be denied the privilege OF education, and the chance
Of bettering herself intellectually, socially and financial
~, Wner the same action on the part Of her brother has
no effect upon his standing or his opportunities
From that point Of view the Jamestown papers posi-
ton is the sound one. It has been definitely neid by
law and public opinion that women are people ard that
the double standard Of conduct and manners is obsolete.
II the head Of the Valley City college believes that his
students should not smoke he should have the right TO
make that opinion a rule, but surely it should be en-
forced upon all students alike-rnen as well rs women.
The ~propriety Of women teachers smoking is of course
another question, but It applies to men teachers, too.
The point is that American woiran.locd has established
her title to life, liberty and the pursuit OF happiness'-
and If that includes q cigarette, men who are still bound
by the romantic traditions Of another age discriminate
against her at their peril.

rated it, as the navy phrase has it. He may have been
a criminal, a p~iug-uely, a man Of evil repate-btt dur
ing his lifetime he sat in the seats of the mighty.
What it comes down to, then, is simply this: we have
put together for ourselves a civilization in which a lead
or of an underworld gang can be one of our important
citizens. Somehow we have fixed things so that an am
bilious young man might well wonder if the profession
Of the racketeer might not be the best way to get fame,
riches and power.
It's 10 earthly use to yelp about the Dinebat's gor-
geous funeral. o. to toss brickbats at his departed shade
&c was simply a sign Of the times. He was an outcrop-
ping Of some typical American stratum. His funeral
rivaling that of q president in spiendor, was simply a
sign Of The times.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Toast In Lunrs

Question: 3. NJ. L. asks: Would
II De possible for a person to get a
crUr.b Of toast doA the windpipe
which might become lodged in the
lungs, causing a congester and ticklish
feeling low down in the bronchial
cubes region with resultant coughing
spells lasting over a month? The
person had a slight cold at the time
OF strangling on the toast, but thinks
the cough should be gone by this
time
Answer: Eyes, it is possible to
swallow small particles OF toast or
crumbs and have them lodge in the
lungs, but any such small piece Of
food should be finally expelled
through the formation of mucus sur
rounding it. It is then eventually
coughed up. I would advise o to
do everything you can to eliminate
the congestion and excessive mucous.
but of course I cannot tell whether
the toast was the AUS of the start
OF your particular difficulty.
Sanitary Heat
Question: M. r. asks: (Which is
the most sanitary heat for q resi-
dence. hot water, steam, hot air, or a
coal, wood, gas OF electric stove?
Does an electric stove burn the oxy.
gen in the air as other stoves do?"
Answer: If the heating apparatus
Is properly installed there is very little
difference in the sanitary effect be-
tween these different heating arrange
ments. Coal. wood or gas tends to
burn up the oxygen in the room but
II the ventilation is good there Is no
harm done and, in fact, the stove as
sists In keeping the air circulating If
the windows are kept slightly omen.
An electric stove burns very little
oxygen and does not give Oft n
poisonous fumes.
Dr0psy
Question: A. asks: "What Is a
reason for the swelling Of the hands
and legs?"
Answer: The hands and legs NAV
become dropsical because of Door cir
culation resulting from heart trouble
or from some kidney derangement.
