d Is the
Anniversary of
BERGSON'S DEATH

On Oct. 10, 1859, Henri Bergson,
eminent CHI philosopher, was
born In Paris of Anglo Jewish par
ents.
Undecided as to whether he should
make a career of literature or SCI
ence. Bergson entered the Normal
school. Graduating at the Of "a. Berg
son was made professor Of philosophy
at the Lycees Of Anglers and Cler-
mont.
He taught philosophy at other in
stitutions and in his lecture devoted
himself to philosophic writings. His
books, Matter and Memory. Creative
Evolution and Time and Free Will,
attracted wide attention and soon
placed him in the front rank of con-
temporary philosophers. In 1918 he
gave up teaching and devoted himself
to politics and international affairs.
In 1927 he was awarded the Nobel
prize for Literature.
Bergson's philosophy endeavors to
show that intellect, upon which all
previous PHILOSOPHERS have been de-
veloped, is unable to comprehend the
nature of life and Of spirit but that
intuition is. ? .-f

Columbus Day
carson PresSl

carson Press
1t is a very marvellous thing that the discovery OF
America, celebrated now by most of the states ON Column
bus day. and which is possibly the greatest feat OF all
the ages, was accomplished by a man who had little
education.
Christopher Columbus did not come from any family Of
navigators, but his father was a weaver. and all his
family were workers at various trades. There were no
sailors in the family to give him a start on his adventures
IN unknown places. When 81 years of age, he was still
a weaver. He did not apparently venture out. on the seas
until some years later. It seems probable that he was at
first only a common sailor. He went on voyage after
voyage, but at the age of 80 years he was in dire poverty,
and managed to earn q living by selling books and
maps. And that was only two years before he performed
the deed that turned the world upside down, when
he found a new continent, which eventually was to de-
velop the worlds most powerful nation.
How came 1t that this great man, without scientific
study or preparation, was able to form a conception
about our world that was hidden at that time from the
worlds most learned wise men and philosophers? One
can account for 1t only on the theory that he was one
Of the closest observers and most originating thinkers
that the race ever produced. He saw the things that
other people did not see. and he reasoned with amazing
accuracy as to what these observations meant.
His example shows what people can do when they
have had no advantages no education. no influential fam
lilies TO- push. them ahead, The world today furniches
just as many opportunities for people to achieve great
results and raise themselves to distinction by their OWE
efforts as it did In Columbus day.

The American Federation of Labor voted yesterday to
give Its full support to the five day working week, defer
ring to another year consideration Of the shorter work.
ing day.
When the five-day week was first proposed it sounded
as revolutionary as Bolshevik Russia. But now it is
growing more and more ~tolerabe to mere and more
people, and already it is in effect for halt a million
members of organized labor, chiefly in the building
trades.
But the eight hour day in a six-day week was quite
as startling when it was first proposed to those who
were used to getting ten or twelve hours work a day
out of their employees.
The fact is that invention is making labor SO much
more effective through short cuts and labor Saving de-
vices that unless something Of the kind Is done, most
OF us presently will be sitting around watching a few
push q button. The trouble with that situation would
be that there wouldn't be enough buyers to make it
worth while to keep the machinery running.
The discovery by industry that conditions are best
where labor earns good wages and has abundant leisure
to spend them In has revolutionized thought on this SUBJ
ject. and the increasing pressure of permanent unemploy-
ment due to the fact that fewer hands are needed to do
the worlds work is crystallizng that thought.
Unless capital Is to get all the fruits of progress, re-
adjustment of working hours to meet the new condition
Is necessary. The five-day week, once a terribly radical
notion, will soon be a commonplace in America.

EXPECTING A F
DIGESTION

There Is q type of patient who
never eats q meal without expecting
unpleasant results. TO this kind Of
patient I would advise something like
this: Before you eat, choose your
meal carefully, putting in all the
thought you wish on the combina-
tons and foods you are to have, but
once you begin to eat, concentrate on
enjoying your meal, and once the
meal is eaten, forget 1t.
The one who has suffered from d.
gestive disturbances usually has q
vivid recollection of many unhappy
hours, and there is no denying the
fact that even though the best foods
are used in the right way, yet, the
unconscious expectancy Of trouble is
SO definitely impressed upon the
memory that there will be set up q
tendency to look for disturbing symp-
toms which will prevent the enjoy
ment Of normal digestion until this
habit Is overcome.
II you follow the dietetic ,instruc-
tons given in these health articles
you will no doubt feel that good re-
suits have been obtained. but complete
results will not have been achieved
until you learn to expect digestion
and vigorous health rs = matter OF
course
Especially would I urge you to help
yourselves in every way by cultivating
the habit Of looking for Improvement
in every direction day by day.
AS you 60 to the table, cast aside
every distressing thought and proceed
to concentrate upon the taste and
flavor of the food before you. Talk
about how good you feel and how well
everyone at the table looks. Try this
tonight when you get home or begin
it at breakfast.
Do not make the mistake Of trying
to use the will as an aid to digestion,
but rather put into operation the
powers of desire and expectancy. as
these will be found to be much more
powerful elements in bringing about
the object that you are trying to &C
complish.
After you have partaken Of what
you honestly consider q wholesome
repast, do not proceed to look Tor
trouble, but expect your digestive
process to be without symptoms. For
get you have eaten.
When q human being has just
shared a satisfactory, attractive din
ner, he should arise from the table
feeling replete and at peace with the
world, particularly with his own
stomach.
Give your mind to any thoughts Of
q constructive nature which please
you.
No doubt, when you have become
sufficiently improved in health you

The argument advanced by the spon-
sors of this initiated measure Is that
it will save election expense. Just
what will it save? We will still have
State wide elections every two years.
as we have now, so that the usual
election expense will be incurred with
a saving only in the length Of the
ballot and perhaps a little shorter
election notice to be printed. We
must have an election every two years
for the reason, first, that we must
elect q Congressman every two years,
and, second, because the said law
does not provide for the election Of
all State and County officials. There
are a few State and County officials
to be elected every two years. This
is the real vicious part Of the law.
For instance II this law passes, the
officials elected this fall will hold for
four years. Two years hence there
will be another election and there
will have to be elected tho following
officials: One U. s. Senator, one Con-
gresham, n Judge of the State SUI
preme Court, one member OF the
state Railroad Commission, Members
Of the Legislature in each District,
and District Court Judges. WI are
living under q form OF Government
which derives its strength from the
interest taken in the affairs OF the
Government and the Public Officials
by the voters. It stands to reason
that the people will not take as much
interest in an election If only q few
candidates are to be elected as II all
are to be elected. The natural result
will be that every four years the av-
erage voter, not encouraged by the
county candidates or the numerous
state candidates will take little or no
interest in the election and will. as a
rule, not vote. The result will be that
only the professional politicians viii
vote. and thus control the election
results. Is this for the best interest
of a popular form Of government?
Why did the sponsors OF this law
leave a few officials, so to speak. out
on q limb every two years? Why die
they not take in all State and County
Officials? Was 1t not for the very
reason that they thought they could
fool the people to vote for this Law
on the plea Of saving money, anc

Interested in Politics

4AlSS SEkVA I4 J.
From most parts Of the country come reports that
interest In politics Is at . fever pitch Is the November
elections approach. Campaigns are bitter and hard
fought as the Democrats and Republicans tansle In
off-year battles.
Most states report that registrations have been large
and that record votes for q non-presidential year are
In prospect.
What this portends III the way Of election results will
BE- told only by the count after the ballots are cast, but
it is at least . good sign that the people are taking an
interest in their government. The apathy which has
been so prevalent In the past seems to be vanishing
and to q believer in the theory that the people should
rule it is an encouraging thing to see them attempt
70 do It.
In the size Of the prospective vote. North Dakota seems
70 be an exception to the rule. It Is q by-way in this
election. 80 far as the national campaign headquarters
Of the two major parties are concerned. for the simple
reason that the result Of the congressional elections
here are hardly in doubt. There may be some slight
question as to the outcome in the second district where
r. W. Lanier has been making a vigorous campaign
against Thomas Hall. but that is about all.
The results OF the state election were determined at
the Republican primary in June. The fall election is
merely a ratification Of what was done then because the
Democrats IN North Dakota do not appear strong enough

tunity to steal the whole Government
away from the people in a very few
elections? What will be the saving?
As near as I can figure it, the saving
to the people of North Dakota will be
about five cents per voter. Now. these
five cents r worth saving. But
what are we giving for those five
cents? We are giving away our right
to check up on our public Officials
every two years and weed out the bad
and keep the good. We are giving
away to the politicians the privilege
Of running the Government as they
please. It Is u belief that the saw
ing Of these five cents every four
years will cost every taxpayer hun
dreds Of dollars every four years.
AS stated to begin with, we are not
opposed to four-year terms. But If
that is the whole question to be con-
sidered, why did the sponsors try to
fool the people and steal the Govern
ment? II they are DESTROYS Of four
year terms all that it is necessary to
do is to divide all the State and
County offices in two and elect halt
every two years for a four-year term.
This would be more reasonable, as
long as we must have elections every
two years, due to Federal officers.
To u it appears as though this
initiated law Is only the result of self
ish public officials who are trying to
perpetuate themselves in office no
matter what it will cost the people.
Much more can be said about this
initiated measure. but we believe we
have said enough to set you thinking
as to what will be best. We recon-
mend that you vote against this initi-
ated measure on November eth.

The American Spirit

The American Spirit
The American spirit. in which all OF u take . GER
tain pride, although the definition for the term is al
most as varied as there are people. is beginning to assert
itself again.
A recent action by the city commission OF Grand
Rapids, Mich, illustrates the point. This group passed a
resolution directing It's city manager to issue q general
call to American municipalities, American BUSINESS and
American agencies of publicity to get together for q long,
hard pull toward prosperity. The suggestion is made:
Lets Rally around the city government as that form Of
government having the closest and most intimate con-
tact with the greatest number Of people. It's the cor
poration that has the most vital interest in its citizenship
and it Is logical for 1t to set an example for business
to follow"
The appeal, which, by the way, Is being circulated to
the cities of the country, including Bismarck. is that
the city government unite the powers of the press. the
radio. the schools, the church, the theater, the associa-
lions and clubs of your community to arouse the patriot
ism, of your people and lead them back to confidence"
Grand Rapids is taking a good deal upon itself, to
be sure. but that also Is characteristically American. We
Ill need q bit Of back-slapptng. and talking j. up" as
they say on baseball diamonds and football fields, III order
70 develop the proper amount Of pepper"
The Grand Rapids appeal may fall on deaf ears. tenn
pcrarily. but the fact that It. has been made is some.
thing. It shows that the American spirit is undimmed.
There Is every reason to believe that, as it grows in re-
newed strength and volume, American business pros
perity will return with 1t.

WDBRIDCEG ~

South starts his heart suit by lead
ing the queen, West follows with the
ten, dummy the deuce and East wins
the trick with the king. BY applying
the rule of eleven, East can now
make the following deductions. His
partner held no suit longer than four
cards-otherwise the deuce would not
have been opend. The ten OF hearts
played by West on the second trick
also informs him this his partner
holds a singleton heart. because II
the declarer held only the queen of
hearts and not the queen and jack,
the queen would not have been led.
That leaves West now with four dia-
monds and four clubs. East holds
five clubs to the king, there are three
in the dummy, his deductions have
told him that his partner has four.
If his partner held four clubs to the
ace-10 or the ace-jack, the club suit
would have been opened in preference
to the spades, therefore East must
not return the spade suit, but leads
the five of clubs, which forces the
singleton ace from the declarer.
Declarer now leads a small heart
to the dummy's ace, West discarding
the six Of spades. The eight of
hearts is returned from dummy. East
playing the six, declarer allows it to
win, playing the seven, West discard
ing the ten of clubs. His next heart
led from dummy is won by the de-
| clarer with the jack. West discards
the jack of spades. All the declarer
can now do is to cash his three good
| diamond tricks. and he must surren-
der the last four tricks to his oppo-
nents, and his contract has been de-
feated one trick.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
e Appendicitis

QUESI1ONS AND ANSWERS
Appendicitis
Question: Mrs. O. L. asks: Twill
you kindly explain the ice treatment
for threatened appendicitis"
Answer: I do not recommend the
ice Treatment in a ase Of threatened
appendicitis. When ice is applied
over the appendix, it only serves to
congest the circulation of blood and
lymph, and tends to localize any pus.
It Is wiser to S hot applications over
the entire abdomen, which increase
the circulation and encourage absorp-
ton Of any pus pocket which might
be forming. The ice treatment is
good as q preparation for surgery, but
II an operation is to be avoided the
hot applications are the proper treat
ment.
Saccharin
Question: H. G.. writes: MY
mother has diabetes, and I would like
to know something about saccharin.
the substitute for sugar in such cases.
She has been told to abstain from
sugar, and from all fruits and vege-
tables containing sugar Or starch"
Answer: Saccharin is often recon-
mended to be used as a substitute
for sugar, although it has no food
value. It is one Of the coal tar prod
ucts and its continued use is unques-
tionably injurious. Practically all
fruits may be used by the diabetic,
as the fruit sugar alone is not suffi-
cient to .,roduce trouble as long as
other sugar is not used. There are
very few vegetables which are starchy.
Potatoes contain from IA to 20 per
cent, and Hubbard squash as high as
Is per cent. Most of the starch we
use comes from the cereal foods and
everything made o, white flour.
W~aterbrash
Question: Mrs. I. N. asks: rs
waterbrash q kind of indigestion?
What vii. stop it? It bothers me
especially through the night"
Answer: Waterbrash usually comes
from %overeating or using liquid with
your meals. Try cutting down on
the amount Of -od you are using at
dinner, and do not use any liquids at
all after three p. m.
