We Elect Congressmen at Large

Dunn County Spotlight, Werner, N. d.
Why our senator voted the way he did on the redistrtct-
ing measure, we are, of course, unable to say.
BY the result OF his vote, we elect congressman at large.
We would like to have him explain.
People In this vicinity were much interested in the
bill. That was made evident to the senator long before
he cast his vote. Then he, himself communicated with
one of his friends in the county, asking that this friend
circulate a petition in behalf of the east and west dis
tricts, stating in effect, that he wanted to vote for the
measure, but he also wanted some ~bolstering up from
home. that he got aplenty, before the end came.
We all know that this old smoke screen that the
average man does not know the ms and outs of the po-
entirely too much-for the good of the politicians.

Vacation Motorists
Spent Three Billions

Washington. March 11.-ReVaca-
ton motoring in the United States
ranked as a ee-billion-doil in
dustry last year.
Domestic and foreign motorists,
touring the country for recreation,
are estimated by the American Auto
mobile association to have spent
3 5000, 000, 900 during the year.
The total, while declining Is per
cent from 1929 due to a "a notable
tendency on the part OF vacationists
to shop around for cheaper accom-
m~odations," was nearly half the
worlds estimated travel bill.
This bill was placed at $780, 00, 900
with Americans at home and abroad
and visitors to the United States &C
counting for IS, 165, 000, 900 of the bulk.
While motoring tours in America
eclipsed the three billion dollar mark,
vacation travel by rail totaled $780,
600, 900 and $25, 100000 by air and
water. American motorists in Can

Foresees Hoover Nomination

Senator Robert M. La Toilette, Jr, Is reported to have
President Hoovers denomination in 1882. In an
interview in Philadelphia. The Wisconsin senator, one
Of the Progressive group responsible for the call OF the
conference on Progressive legislation which Is to meet
here the coming week, sees no prospect of a third po-
litical party. Furthermore, if he be correctly quoted,
Senator La Toilette foresees no split in the Republican
ranks.
This will be sad news for the Democrats, who have
been angling for Progressive support these many monthA

this feat in Nebraska in 1928. But Senator Norris has
probably quite as many Democratic friends IN his STATE

TREATMENT OF MUCOUS COLITIs

TREATMENT OF MUCOUS COLITIS
Colitis is much more prevalent dur
ing recent years, although the disease
is described in the annals Of the Civil
war. While it is usually seen IN those
who have been suffering from consti-
patton for many years. it sometimes
occurs in children after an upset
stomach or an attack of collie.
Colitis is more pronounced in those
who are nervous and who worry ex-
tremely whenever they see the mucus
In the movements. In these cases an
excitement may bring on q sort OF
nervous diarrhea In which much mu-
Gus is thrown off.
Parts Of undigested meat or the
skins from sausage Dr. portions OF
asparagus may show in the stools and
greatly resemble mucus, causing n
to believe he has colitis when he does
not. If you notice stringy material
only once or twice in the stools it is
probably not mucous but some undi-
gested food.
Colitis is not an acute disease and
cannot be cured quickly by any known
method. The underlying causes which
are producing the irritated condition
Of the bowels must be sought or cor
rected. These causes may be faulty
habits of eating, particularly using
bad combinations of food; lack of ex-
ercise; and constipation. In the ma
jority of cases there is a complete
sagging of all of the abdominal organs
and usually adhesions will be found
to have bound down the colon, OBJ
structing the bowels still further. The
cure, consequently, lies In raising the
muscular tone of the entire abdomen,
developing better peristaltic action OF
the colon, and using the utmost care
In selecting good food combinations
The first treatment should be to
use the enema to clean out the bowels;
in most cases this will bring about an
immediate relief from the painful
symptoms. The daily enema should be
kept up while the bad living habits
are being changed to good ones, us
ing one quar- of water to wash the
poisons out of the lower bowel which
will temporarily straighten out the
kinks. The enema is much to be pre-
ferred as a treatment for the consti-
patton which follows colitis. Patients
with colitis should not take purges or
strong laxatives, as these powerful
only serve to irritate further
a bowel which is already inflamed.
If the abdomen continues to be ten
der then hot ~ann1ic0tiOnS NAV be
used. Manipulative treatments are
often necessary to restore the sagged
taken to tone UP the abdominal mus

A. In January, 1861, the first in
stalment of this novel by Mrs. Henry
Wood ELLEN Price Wood, an invalid,
appeared In the New Monthly Maya
zine published in England. The lat
ter part of the same year it was pub
lished in three volumes. More than
100000 copies were sold In England
alone and its success in the United
States was even greater. A survey
conducted by publishers here and
abroad shows that more than 15,OOO,-
900 copies OF the novel have been sold.
The authors rights were so extern
sively abused that in spite Of the
worldwide use of her theme she re-
ceived no benefits of authorship out
side OF England. This fragrant piracy,
started a movement to devise some
protection of literary works in this
country and British lands, the result
Of which was the international copy
right law adopted inF1890.

cause the Flemish weavers brought

called to distinguish 1t from the
standard yard of thirty-six inches,

Today Is the
Anniversary Of
TASSOS BIRTH

On March IL, 1914, Torquato Tasso,
the great Italian epic poet, was born
at Sorrento, the son of a nobleman.
He studied law at Padua but aft
erward switched to philosophy at
Bologna. In 1861 he published some
poems and the following year his
"Rinaldo" appeared. At IL he was
already famous.
In 1872 Tasso was invited TO the
court of Alfonso II, Duke Of Ferrara.
While there he produced his most i'm
portant works. His "Aminta," a pas
toral drama of great lyrical charm,
is said to have inspired all motives
of Italian verse for the next two CEN
turtles. In the following year he COM
pleted his Jerusalem Delivered" one
of the great epic poems of modern
times.
Following his relase from an insane
hospital, where he was confined for
seven years, Tasso led a broken and
wandering life. At Rome, where he
had been summoned by Pope Clement
VIII, to be crowned poet laureate at
the capitol, as Petrarch had been,
Tasso was stricken with q fatal ILL
ness and the ceremony was never
performed.

Political Realignment

The pending conference of progressives in Washington
may turn out to be one of the most important political
developments Of the decade. Certainly it Is one Of the
most interesting.
It Is interesting. not as an exposition Of the power Of
the progressive group in congress. nor as the formulation
of a platform of these groups, but because it may help
materially to bring about the long awaited realignment
of the major political parties.
The major parties have become very similar during
the past decade or so. Unless the prohibition issue pro-
vides a sharp line of demarcation between them dur
ing the next presidential campaign, they win presum-
ably offer programs that do not differ very greatly, and
the American voter will have simply a choice between
two candidates and not between two widely divergent
schools OF thought.
This is hardly healthful. It does not lead to any clear
out decisions on public questions. It does not provide
earnest debates on the important issues of the day. It
tends, In fact, to reduce all campaigns simply to a strug-
gle for power by two rival groups.
How far the progressive conference will go in bringing
such a ~realignment nearer is, Of course, an open ques-
ton. The important thing about 1t is that it Is a BIZ
partisan conference. II its members can agree on q
definite program for the next session of congress-re-
CARELESS of whether such a program be good, bad or in
different-the consequences should be ~salutary.
The absurdity Of the present bi-party lineup is ap-
parent at a glance. Senator Norris of Nebraska and
Senator Moses Of New Hampshire are both Repub-
licans-and are as far apart as the poles on almost every
issue. Senator La Toilette of Wisconsin is q
Republican,; SO is Speaker Nicholas Longworth Of the
house Of representatives. President Hoover is a Repub-
lican-and SO is Senator Borah Of Idaho.
It is the same on the other side. John J. Raskob is
a Democrat, and SO is Senator Robinson of Arkansas.
Senator Wagner Of New York and Senator Harrison Of
Mississippi are both Democrats. The dry Carter Glass
Of Virginia and the wet Robert Buckley Of Ohio belong
to the same party.
The party label. thus. means little. If a bipartisan
movement. whether progressive or conservative, can serve
to draw like minded men into separate groups we shall
be a great deal better Oft.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Unruly Child

Question.-Mrs. G. writes: Il have
a fo~ur-year-old boy, very active but
very miSchievOus; pulls children's hair
when I take him out, steps on peoples
toes, knocks signs down and throws
things off counters in stores, pulls
peoples hats in the cars, etc. He had
all the toxins and ~anti-toxins for
sickness, but so unruly that neither
his dad nor I car do anything with
him. He is four Or five pounds over
weight, but solid; Is curly-headed and
everybody admires him. I think that's
what makes him as he is: I am not
very strong and he is getting the best
of me. What shall I do?"
Answer.-I would advise you to go
to the library or a bookstore am get
some of the newer books on child
training and psychology. I will be glad
to send you a list Of such books If
you will send me your full name and
address Oh a large stamped envelope.
Carrotin
Question.-M. G.. H. Writes: Re
Gently you stated in this column that
carrots eaten every day would give a
yellowiSh tint to the complexion.
about how many should be eaten, and
should they be raw or cooked?"
Answer.-The yellow coloring mat
ter of carrots is called carrotin. Some
people can eat a large amount of car
rots without the yellowish tint show
ing in their skin, but if you are easily
affected you must simply cut down on
the amount of both raw and cooked
carrots you are eating until your color
becomes normal. However, as far as
we have been able to ascertain, there
is no harm to the health from this
cOloring.

CrueltieS of Youth

The helpless tragedies Of youth are things we can all
understand, since all Of US have lived through them, IN
one form or another. What we often overlook is the
cruelty which youth frequently exercises on its own
members.
The suicide Of little Bonita Bischoff in New Jersey
the other day emphasizes the existence Of this cruelty.
Bonita. who was 16, was the daughter OF the Vivian
Gordon who was murdered after she had prepared to give
evidence in the New York vice ring" investigation.
Circumstances Of the murder and the facts regarding
the woman's life which were brought out subsequent to
it, were rather unsavory. The name Vivian Gordon was
blazoned over newspaper front pages. Little Bonita BIS
choff was mentioned frequently. Naturally. the child
found herself In an unevable position.
Probably she would have been able to live through it II
1t had not been for the attitude Of her schoolnates. They

not been all she might have been. They taunted her.
made cutting remarks where she could overhear them.
did malicious little things to remind her Of her tragedy.
So, unable to endure It, she killed herself.
Youth, as it happens. can DO Is cruel Is grown-ups. It
