The various political divisions
have in their governing bodies
experts whose duty it is to deal
with future development Of
streets and highways.
The past 10 years have seen
a large number of road building
programs carried out. The con-
struction of county trunks, State
highway systems and trans
continental routes have been co.
ordinated until today one may
travel by automobile in almost
any part of the country in COM

NEW SIX, EIGHT
SHOWN BY
DE SOTO
Greater Power and Beauty
OF Line Mark New Models
Shown in 1891 Auto Show

The De Soto Motor Corporation
Is presenting at the Auto Show
Q new six and a new eight for
1881, designed and developed by
Chrysler Motors engineering staff
under the personal direction Of
Fred M. Zeder, vice president. in
charge of engineering Of the
Chrysler Corporation.
Although these cars include
many added features OF diStinc-
ton the eight is offered in
the came price range as its prede-
ceSsor.. The six is available at a
new low price.
Has More Power
The engineers have increased
the power, acceleration ability
and speed of the straight eight.
Bore and stroke of the new eight
engine as 27s inches by 4A
inches, an increase of VI inch in
the stroke, giving piston dis
placement Of 220.7 cubic inches.
This eight is being built in the
following body styles: Sedan, de
luxe sedan, standard coupe, rumble
seat coupe, convertible coupe and
roadster.
The engineers, under the leader
ship of the ChrySler Motors staff,
have produced an entirely new
De Soto in the same price class.
Ts RriJk Tn-
There is a pronounced lowness
and consequent finer roadability
made possible by cooperative
achievement Of chassis and body
engineers in designing the new
double-center drop frame with
which all new De, Soto skies are
provided. This reduction in over
all height has added greatly to
safety by materially lowering the
center Of gravity.
The six is being built in the fol-
lowing body styles: Sedan, road
ster, rumble seat coupe, convert
able coupe and standard coupe.
The new six is marked by an
increase in engine power. With
an increase Of 1s inch in the bore
Of the motor it's dimensions are
now 314-inch bore by 41s-inch
stroke, while the piston displace-
meent is 205.3 cubic inches.

WHY'S President Urges
Highway Expansion

to eight lanes of traffic, and
elimination Of railroad grade
crossings.
Metropolitan traffic may be
called a pent-up flood. When
ever new facilities are opened
they are Immediately used to
their limit. 1t is estimated that
the new 1880 census will show
a total population of approximate
ly 123,000,0OO, of which 100000
will be urban and 53,000,000
rural. Traffic improvement plans
must be made with these facts in
mind.

Markham previously estimated the
number employed in July was $4,000.
Points to Increase.

Daily Health Service
Fish and Raisins Are Valuable But Have
Been Much Over-Rated
phosuhorus and Iron Are Found in Many Foods IN Addition
To Those Being Exploited

Iron Is one mineral which occurs
in the body in relatively small
amounts, but is nevertheless highly
important to body health. The w.
erage man needs about one-fourth
of q gram Of this substance q day: IN
order to keep the body supplied ivy"
One-fourth Of q gram is about one
eighteen hundredth Of an ounce.
That is not q great deal Of iron. One
could almost get the amount nc
needed by sucking q rusty nall. Nev
ertheless manufacturers and promo
tiers Of various foods have exploited
iron because scientific knowledge
showed its necessity.
The chief campaign for the promo
ton Of iron was the famous raistn
campaign or eat more iron campaign.
It Is true that raisins are relatively
rich in iron. but they also contain
considerable amounts Of seeds, pulp,
peel and stems. making up what Is
commonly called indigestible residue.
People who ate several small pack
ages of raisins each day succeeded IN
supplying themselves not only with
iron, but also with large amounts Of
irritating i~ndigestible material. II
they had only known that all Of the
iron they could possibly need was to
be found to much better advantage
in liver, in muscle meats, in wheat
germ. in celery, in dried fruits and
nuts, in salt water fish and in the
dark meat of poultry. they would not
have needed to abuse their stom-
achs by an overdose Of indigestible
materials.

More Relief Urgent

It is not too late for the members
of the City Commission to give the
recommendations of the Tax Com
mittee of the Association Of Com
merce additional consideration. Real
relief for the citizens of Bismarck
are contained in the suggestions of
this body and the necessity for such
action should be apparent to every
one.
The reductions suggested were
made after due consideration. Presi-
dent Forrest Davis, in selecting his
committee, membership of which was
enlarged to include three of the city's
heaviest tax payers, sought to have
all interests adequately represented.
The committee is to be commended
for their fearless and independent
action, as are Mayor Lenhart and
Commissioner Wachter for support
ing most of the contentious of this
committee.
True a cut of slightly mor than
$4,000 in the budget has been made
for which the citizens are thankful,
but that is only a beginning and the
good work of easing the tax burden
Of Bismack's citizens should go for
ward.
Adoption of the committees rec
concentrations would have resulted
in a saving Of approximately $4,000
without injuring materially public
service or embarrassing any depart
ments.
The fact that this demand comes
from all political factions and was q
harmonious effort to secure greater
economy in the administration of oul
city affairs is highly significant. II
is refreshing to note that the people,
OF Bismarck are taking a deeper in
terest in the name in which theil
tax dollars are being spent. They
are trimming their own business ane
household budgets to the very core
and many citizens are anxious tina
their tax bills in these times O.
stress be reduced accordingly.
There is still time to meet the de-
mands of a very considerable major
ity of the citizens Of Bismarck.

EDITORS NOTE: This is the
18th Of q series Of 26 timely ar

X Y
BY DIR. MORRIS FISHBEIN
Editor, Journal of the American
Medical Association, and Of
Hygeia, the Health Magazine
The interesting part Of the asso-
citation Of calcium with phosphor-
us is the fact that four-fifths OF all
Of the calcium in the body Is closely
with phosphorus. Moth.
er's milk contains q very small
amount of this substance, as does
also egg white and wheat germ, but
the amount that they contain Is not
insufficient because the amount
needed by the body Is not evidently
great. Phosphorus enters into the
DEVELOPMENT not only Of bones and
teeth, but also tissue Of the nervous
system.
The old notion that fish is a brain
food was based on the fact that the
tissue Of the fish contain phosphor-
us as DOES the human brain. The
great naturalist, Agassiz, therefore
decided that we ought to eat more
fish in order to provide more ma
terial for building brains. Forum
ately phosphorus is present In so
many foods that need not over
eat fish or any other food to get
what he needs.

The Government as Dictator


THE growing contempt for law is
attributable in large measure to a
mistaken zeal for more and ever
more law" said Governor Richie OF
Maryland, a short time ago. 1.-THE
government is no longer the creature
and protector of our individual rights,
but is rapidly becoming the dictator
of them"
Few who are familiar with the
course of legislation of the last quar-
t~er-century, will deny this. Govern
ments, both state and federal. have
shown a steadily increasing DISPOSE
ton to regulate by law the acts OF
their citizens. Reform movements
based on misunderstanding Of human
problems, have swept all before them
and the principal result is that thu
United States is now the most law.
less of the great nations.
One wonders when we will agar
realize that progress comes from the
individual, not from the state; thai
regulation of human conduct car
only be successful when it is volun'
tary, rather than statutory.

On Going to the Bowwows
(Fargo FORUM

There are those who profess to be-
lieve that, because Of present eco
nomic problems, the country Is bound
straight for the bowwows; that con-
ditions just can't right themselves;
that signs OF stability and evidences
Of improvements are just so much
"hooey."
Let us quote from a particularly
pessimistic speech: I'VE are in the
midst of a great industrial and COM
mercial depression. Industry Is at :.
standStill all over the earth. The
consumptive power, or rather the
purchasing power. of the whole world
has been interfered with, producing
not only a arrangement but a para
lysis, not only stopping further pro-
duction but preventing the proper
distribution Of what is already
created; so that we have the anoma-
lous spectacle Of abundant food prod
ucts on the n hand and hungry
men on the other; abundant fabrics
on the one hand and industrious,
frugal men going half clad on the
other. Employer and employee are
affected alike"
No, this quotation Is not taken
from current comment. It Is from an
address delivered by Governor Jonn
r. Atgeld Of Illinois In . Chicago
meeting IN 1899. just about 70 years
ago Subsequent years demonstrated
that we didn't 60 to the "bowWows'
