Jamestown Persists
(Mott Pioneer Press)

INNOtC VO1Ieer 1TESSJ
In the face of the almost unanimous action of the
state legislature and the numerous editorials and news
stories from over the state reflecting q very strong senti-
ment against it, the jamestown committee persists In
its demand for q vote on the matter Of change Of state
capital.
In order to attempt to avoid the odium Of forcing a
special election, the committee in q letter
at the next March statewide election But the governor
Is faced with the fact that every years delay in settling
this matter costs the state close to $4,000 In rentals and
leaves the state officers in widely scattered locations and
in cramped and inconvenient quarters in some instances,
which are not conducive to efficient service to the
taxpayers.
It will also delay the construction Of the new state
capitol building because, If Jamestown persists in their
demands, they will no doubt ask for an injunction to
prevent any construction until an election has been held
It will not cost any more to have the special election and
get immediate action than 1t will to delay the matter
for . year. In either case the responsibility for the cost
and delay must rest with jamestown in the minds OF
the taxpayers and the resentment will be felt in their
business relations for years to come.

Basketball Week

Bismarck begins today a week which will be unique In
Its experience, for never before has 1t held the attention
Of all North Dakotans interested in basketball as a major
sport.
OF all the athletic events which are held annually In
this state, none compares with TIE state basketball tourn-
ament in point Of general interest. It marks the climax
Of q season Of effort for thousands Of high school players
and hundreds Of thousands Of their supporters. Only .
few Of these players participate In the tournament, It
Is true, but those who do, carry the interest Of those
others whom they have met and vanquished during the
seasons play.
Sectional interest and rivalries are involved In a way
which distinguishes no other sporting event in thia
state. Rivalries which preceded the various district
tournaments have vanished and the general feeling Of
interested persons in each Of the eight regions IS one
Of support for the regional entry. For that reason, Bis
marck,s huge new World War Memorial building will be
the cynosure Of . majority Of North Dakota eyes next
Friday and Saturday.
Basketball rapidly IS becoming the most generally
played game In North Dakota. It Is probable that more
persons actually participate in it than in any other
athletic activity. Because Of the nature Of the game

IS A CHANGE OF CLIMATE NE.
CESSARY?

It used to be the fashion for doc
tors to prescribe q change Of climate
for anyone suffering from a chronic
disease. Neurasthenics especially
were advised to take trips to the
mountains or seashore or, In fact, any
place where they were not living at
the time.
It is true that a change of climate
sometimes gives a temporary relief in
such diseases as tuberculosis, asthma,
hay fever and heart trouble, but I
have seen patients suffering from
these troubles cured in almost every
climate and altitude simply by max
ing the necessary dietetic changes.
It is so easy to try to blame the
climate or some external condition
for troubles which originate from our
own ignorance or lack Of care.
In the year 1893 Ponce de Leon
searched for the Fountain Of Youth
III Florida rather than searching for
IL at home. All he got for his trouble
was q poisoned arrow. Men have al
ways been searching for q relief from
the laws Of Nature in order to enjoy
health which they have not earned. It
IS true that occasionally we hear st
a person who had benefited his health
by taking a trip to some distant part,
but I believe that this Is usually be-
cause the patient leaves behind some
Irritating friends or relatives. or be-
cause the vacation gives him more
time to play and brings about q
ohoorn ~ 1Sv,iyoo ho hNfe
AS a rule, the relief produced by
moving to q different climate or en-
vironinent Is only temporary, for the.
old habits remain and soon bring
hack the old troubles.
Everyone should realize that the
main cause Of disease is always found
in bad habits. It is these wrong ha-
bits which weaken the resistance so
that disease can affect the body. Bad
habits can be just as bad In Florida
Or California as In New York or Nova
Scotia or Alaska. One cannot run
away from ones own bad habits by
changing the place Of abode, and the
same imprudent methods OF living
which you practiced at home will in
variably tend to create the same
symptoms II continued In other eli
mates.
receive thousands Of letters from
people asking me If it will help them
TO take a trip for the change Of cli-
mate, but my reply to them Is usually
to make a change in their habits Of
living and eating, and that the CHI
mate Is not SO important.
You can search the world over and
you will not discover any hidden
places for the health you have been
seeking. The only place you will
find health Is to turn your attention

Runaway Tax Collector
New Leipzig SentineD

N1Vc Ic1p1lg OelIIIIeJ
1t begins to look as if ~taxpaying Americans will have
their hands full during the next year or so trying to
keep taxes from getting beyond all limits.
In many states measures have been passed whose in
evitable effect must be to place a greater burden on
businesses, property-owners, workers. Levies have been
shifted from one type of property to another-on the
supposition that this constitutes tax relief. New and al
most unknown forms of taxes-State income taxes, in
tangible taxes, etc:-have come into being.
Too many public officials are seeking more funds to
spend; too few are seeking ways to lower cost of govern
ment.
It is about time our citizens took affairs in their own
hands and said "Whoa!" to the runaway tax collector.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Salt Water

Question: G. M. asks: IFS there
any harm in drinking a quart of
warm water with a teapoonful of salt
for a bowel elimination"
Answer: The use of hot salt water
has an effect In stimulating peristal-
sis through irritation. It might be
harmful in some cases, but in general
the effect Is the same as taking laxa-
lives and p%urgativeS. It is far better
to find the cause Of constipation and
achieve q real cure by following the
proper rules regarding exercising,
dieting, etc.
Lima Bean Bread
Question: r.. A. l.. asks: How
does the lima bean bread now on the
market compare with other breads?"
Answer: Lima bean bread is a
great Improvement ove the ordinary
breads, containing a much larger
amount Of protein and enough min
erals to be considered an alkaline
food. Soy bean bread has the same
good qualities, and one with acidosis
may wisely substitute these breads
Tor the ordinary white bread.
Distilled Water
Question: j. H. F. asks: do YOU
think distilled water is better for a
person having arthritis deposits in
the joints Of the hands, instead of
drinking live water or boiled water?
Does distilled water saturate itself
with the hard deposits in the body
and thereby help to carry off that
calcium deposit?"
Answer: Distilled water is the
only absolutely pure water. We do
not find pure water in Nature. How
ever, I do not believe that it makes
any difference what kind of water
IS used in the treatment of arthritis
as long as you use plenty of it. The
city water from the hydrant may be
depended upon to be free from dan
gerous bacteria, and usually tests as
pure as any water, with the exception
OF that which has been distilled and
has had every trace of foreign mat
ter removed.

The Hunger March
and the Workers
international Relief

NOW that the Hunger Marchers are on their
way . Washington we can plainly see that
the Workers International Relief can be helpful
not only during strikes but also as factor of
the greatest Importance in supporting the I'M
employed workers in their struggle for Unem-
ployment Insurance and immediate relief From
the experience in Chicago, where the Ways and
Means Committee handled and directed by
the W.I.R. organization, it is clear how the eff
forts of the Unemployed Council and the WIR.
can be combined to get maximum results for the
successful preparations of the Hunger March
Collections of funds, food blankets, clothing,
providing means of transportation, ETC., was in
the hands of that Committee.
In the course of this work large number of
workers organizations were modified in sup
port of the Hunger March on the basis of solid
arity. Even quite number of A. F. of L. locals
gave their support. The work would go much
smoother and better results could be obtained If
the WIZ. broader organization The task
of building the W.IR. then is not only for that
organization itself, but for the whole working
class. The building Of new branches, getting
more organizations to affiliate and enlisting the
support of larger number of workers organ
izations is the task in the immediate future.
For the first time the W.I.R in Chicago was
successful in organizing its medical corps and
trained nurse with all the necessary supplies for
first aid in accompanying the Chicago Column.
Also all marchers were given medical exami-
nation before they started. This means that the
health of the narchers will be safeguarded as
much as possible on the way to Washington and
back.
The Workers international Relief can be made
of still greater value for the working class If
the workers organizations give their ful-hearted
support All means must be used to convince the
workers that the WIR is one of their weapons
in the struggle against capitalist oppression and
that it should be built up
