The Graveyard of Lost Buildings


In an article on "The Graveyard Of Lost Buildings"
Safeguarding America Against Fire states that all the
structures that have been destroyed by fire could be

the world. 1t would go for uncountable miles
street after street of ruin and desolation.
If 1t possible to create this city, it would pro-

Of waste that destroys almost half a billion dollars
worth Of property and ten thousand lives each year.
It may be that for the carelessness most
Americans show to fire is the protection afforded by in
surance. There is mistaken notion that insurance
replace in the absolute sense what is wasted by
carelessness ignorance. AS matter of fact nothing

Today Is the
Anniversary Of
A BLOODLESS VICTORY


On March 4, 1776, the Americans,
under George Washington, occupied
Dorchester Heights, now South Bos-
ton, in one of the most surprising
maneuvers in the Revolutionary War.
Throughout the winter of 1775-76,
want of artillery and powder prevent
ed Washington from doing anything
more than simply keeping up the
siege of Boston. However, when Gen.
eral Knox succeeded in dragging SO
cannon on oxsleds from Ticonderoga
to Cambridge, a distance of 20C miles.
Washington decided to take the ag-
gressive.
He easily seized Dorchester Heights
and placed his cannon into position
overlooking Boston on the south. He
then gave General Howe, British COM
mander, his choice of withdrawing
his forces from the town or having i.
battered by the cannon. Howe de-
cided on the former alternative and
ordered his men to embark March II
for Halifax.
The following day Washington en-
tered Boston in triumph. The British
had left it never to return. Congress
voted Washington a gold medal to
commemorate his bloodless victory.

ERRORS IN REDUCING

Among the more common errors
| made by those who are trying to re-
duce are some which are nef1ectlVe'
and others which are actually harm-
ful It is to the last class OF errors
which much of the belief about dang
er of reducing has arisen. Reducing
is not dangerous if it is properly done,
and I have never seen a fat person
that was not benefited by reducing
the weight to normal through care
full dieting. One of the common mis-
takes is to avoid drinking water on
the supposition that this will reduce
the weight. There are few cases
where some of the excess weight is
Que to the accumulation of dropslcal
fluid, as may occur in kidney ana
heart diseases, where the water
should be restricted, but these are not
cases of obesity. for there is no rela-
ton of fat to the amount OF water
consumed. There may be slight re-
duction of weight when first discon-
tinuing the use of water, but this is
o.1ly temporary and is due to a less
than normal amount of water in the
body and not to lessened amount
of fat. Much damage may be done
the body by so restricting the water.
because water is needed to flush out
the toxins and waste products which
are so abundant during any reducing
system.
Another method which was popular
short time ago was the use of medi-
cines and preparations containing
thyroid extract. This is very pow
erful drug, and should never be taken
except upon physicians advice. In
many cases thyroid extract has a
very disastrous effect upon the one
who is trying to reduce. The remedies
which are used externally are not
usually as dangerous as they are in
effective. Many of them contain
white iodine or EPSON salts.
Another method which some have
tried with distressing results is going
without sufficient sleep. This has re-
suited in loss of weight in some
cases, but at tremendous loss of
vitality. Those who go without sleep

sistance to disease so that they be-
come easy prey to colds, pneumonia,
tuberculosis, nervous and even men,
tai disorders.
Exercise, while really helpful in
many cases, is not of very much value
by itself in reducing. For one thing,
it increases the appetite for the heavy
fat-fprming' foods so that any loss
that takes place usually is quickly re-
gained. Exercises unless properly re-
gulated may cause harm.
Massage is frequently used in re-
ducing, and while it is very helpful
il addition to a diet, it will not cause
much reduction by itself. During
dieting or fasting regimen, the mass
age may be of value in improving the
circulation of the blood through fatty
deposits, causing them to be absorb
ed more quickly than fat in other
parts of the body. For this reason it
is very helpful in some cases, but as
an adjunct.

Is It Worth While?
Grand Forks Herald


BY vote of "A to the North Dakota senate passed
the capitol construction bill with emergency clause at
tached The bill had already been passed by the
house. but without the emergency clause Because OF
the almost unanimous action of the senate in restoring
the emergency clause the bill went back to the house in
order that that body might have opportunity to concur
in the action of the senate. This the house did by
vote of 95 to IT,
Supporters of the jamestown capitol removal amend
ment reported to have said that the emergency
clause approved by the house they would begin i'm
medatey the circulation of petitions to have the bill
referred and they express confidence IN their ability
to secure the 10000 signatures petitions required to
override the emergency clause. They intend, further
is reported to apply for court injunction against the
creation of a capitol commission any action by such
commission pending the submission of the whole QueS
ton to a vote of the people.
is conceded that those of the jamestown people
who supporting the capital removal project are
dsent enough and spend money enough they cause
the state great embarrassment by delaying work on the
construction Of capitol It may be well for them
to consider whether not it is worth while.
There evidence Of appreciable demand for the
removal OF the capital from where it is The senate
vote of A to may be considered fair reflection of
sentiment in the state at large Thus far all the
pagnng the subject has been done by the James
town committee. On the other side there no organ
ization and there has been activity But the sub
ect Is taken to the polls there will be organization and
activity OF very vigorous kind Aside from the people
them the interests Of jamestown to the people
Of that city and who need not be expected to take It
lying down. there IS very pronounced sentiment In the
state against needessly disturbing situation which for
many years has been accepted permanent and making
the location Of major state institutions the payhing Of
local ambitions. Citizens who opposed to such a
policy Of Decentralization will certainly not permit dec
sion by default They will assuredy organize for vgor-
os and aggressive action knowing that it is their in
terests which affected that the issue involves
more than mere struggle between two cities.
BY legal action and otherwise the jamestown COM
mittee can embarrass the state delay action and pile
up exppnse. But at the end it will suffer overwhelm-
ing defeat The ignominy Of that defeat will be pro-
portoned to the persistence with which the committee
defies very manifest public sentiment and uses the
at It's disposal to delay action in real emergency
The Jamestown committee could perform no more
popular act than to withdraw its removal petitions and

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Bile Retention

Question: Mrs. v. A. v. asks: Can
a severe pain in the pit of the stom-
ach, and extending through the back,
be caused by bile that does not pass
through the system. fast enough? It
SO, what treatment do you recon-
mend? What are proper foods when
the liver is very inactive?
Answer: The pain going from the
pit of the stomach around the right
side to the back is symptom of liver
or gall bladder arrangement. The
best way to start the flow of bile
which has accumulated is to take
fruit fast and follow this with diet
free from starches, sugars and fats.
Corn Oil
Question: Mrs. X. H. asks: MAY
Gil made from corn be used as part
Of a health menu? Some say it Is
hot very wholesome, but have been
using it for long time and it seems
to agree with me-"
Answer: Corn oil is usually pressed
from the germs of the grains of corn
It has pleasing taste and does not
become rancid readily. It is quite
wholesome and may be used in salad
dressings, for preparing French fried
potatoes, or in other methods of cook
ing. Experiments have proven that
it contains some growth-promoting
and anti-sterility vitamins.
Peritonitis
Question: NJ v. l.. asks: "Wili
you kindly explain peritonitis? What
is the cause, and is there cure?"
Answer: There are many causes
of peritonitis. Peritonitis means in
flammation of the peritoneum which
is the smooth covering lining the in
side of the abdomen. Various dis
eases of the intestines or other alb
dominal organs may induce a spread
of inflammation to the peritoneum.
The cause is always found in one or
more of these inflamed organs and
never starts in the peritoneum, itself
Therefore, a diagnosis is necessary tc
find the cause.
