VALLEY City Times-Record)
The legislature should pass that bill at once with the
emergency clause and thus put Jamestown on record for
obstruction If 1t wants to go on with a campaign that
spells defeat right from the start. If Jamestown-or
jamestown people-want to father the calling of a spe-
cial election then Jamestown people should be told that
they must bear the expense. It is no more than fair
that they do that as we see no reason why the taxpayers
OF the state should be called upon to shoulder a burden
of taxation that is nothing more or less than a personal
matter with the Jamestown people.

Right-And For a Reason

North Dakota has heard so much in recent years about
diversification of agricultural activities that the story has
become a little tiresome to some ears, nevertheless, some
thing crops up every now and then which proves the
advice sound.
One of the best proofs is contained in a dispatch from
Frederic j. Haskin. The Tribune's special correspondent
at Washington, which tells how the consumption of dairy
products is increasing while the demand for cereals is
dropping constantly.
This represents a change in the tastes and ideas of
the American people and one which is significant for the
farmer, for he, like any other business man, must supply
the public with what it wants or fail. People eat just
about so much and if the average American prefers milk,
butter and cheese to cereal foods that is his business
and the up-and-coming agriculturist will help to give
him what he wants.
There is no agricultural product for which ~flattering
prices are being paid right now-and mores the pity
from the standpoint of North Dakota folk. But it is
significant that the dairy industry has suffered the least
from the current economic condition.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Milk Diet for Stomach Ulcer

QueStion.-D. H. M. writes: Have
been on a milk diet for four
weeks. My doctor claims I had ulcers
and he is curing them with this diet.
He wants me to stay on this diet for
three weeks more, then he will have
me X-rayed to see if they have healed.
Will an x-ray picture show this?"
Answer.-The milk diet if properly
given is the best diet for stomach ul-
GERS. From six to ten weeks are otter
necessary. The X-ray pictures are
helpful in determining the size and
extent of the ulcers. I have mimeo-
graphed instructions for taking the
milk diet which I will be pleased tc
send to any reader of this newspaper
who is interested. Simply enclose a
large self-addressed stamped envelope
with your request.
Horseback Riding
QueStiOn.-R. r. asks: will you
please tell me what you think of
horseback riding for a woman? I have
heard it is injurious. I am II years
of age and 60 horseback riding three
times a week for one hour EACH"
Answer.-Horseback riding is good
If taken in moderation, as it gets one
out into the fresh air. However, it
gives most of the exercise to the horse
rather than to the person who needs
it most. There is some indication that
horseback riding tends to cause pro-
lapsus of the abdominal organs and,
If it is much INDUCED in, special ex-
ercises should be taken to prevent
the occurrence of a prolapsus.
Cleansing Teeth With Soap
Question:. K. asks: will wash
ing the teeth with soap decay them?"
AnsWer.-No.

ARRESTS FORECAST
Two More Are Expected by Com

Sterling Murder.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
LEESBURG, Va, December 29.-Two
more arrests are expected TO be made
today, according to Commemorative
Attorney John Galleher, in connection
with the finding Of the dead body OF
Alfred Beavers 40, with a gunshot
wound in the back of his head in an
abandoned well on the SWedberg place
nesr Sterling last Friday evening.
Beavers, a dairy hand, left home
Thursday morning at 4:30 o'clock to go
to work, miles away, and never re-
ported at the place where he was en-
ployed. A pool of blood and part of
his skull was found 200 yards from the
WELL which is half way between his
home and his employers. Aubrey Fox,
20, a farm hand was arrested Sunday
and questioned yesterday The ques-
tioning threw no light on the murder.
Beavers wife was brought from
Gainesville, Va, where she was staying
viii friends, and questioned for four
hours last evening. Nothing definite
was learned from her. 1t Is said that
Fox and Mrs. Beavers left six weeks ago
to visit Mrs. Beavers brothers and later
Fox returned home, but Mrs Beavers
visited other places and did not return
home until her husbands dead body
had been found. She returned to
Gainesville after the funeral Sunday.
The names of these expected to be
arrested today were not disclosed.

tive of the territory served by the cham
Der, but said that it had been unable
to decide on new name for recon-
mendation. The upshot was decision to
refer the matter to the Executive Com
mittee for further study and report at
the next meeting, January rs.
Sentiment appeared about evenly di-
vided in favor of a change as against
retention of the present name. Some
thought the growth of the chamber was
being hampered by the fact that the
impression in some quarters Is that the
organization, in view of its name, was
local to Hyattsville. On the other hand,
others believed that the Chamber Of
Commerce of Hyattsville had in its
seven years existence become known
throughout the State and had attained
prestige, much of which might be lost
through change in the name. Among
some new names suggested were Cham
Der of Commerce OF Upper Prince
Georges County, Prince Georges County
Suburban Chamber of Commerce and
Intercity Chamber of Commerce of Up
per Prince Georges County.
Reports on Relief Funds.

MAPES INCOME TAX
Chamber of Commerce to
Fight D. C. Bill Pending
Now in Senate.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special DlSpatch TO The Star,
HYATTSVILLE, Md, December %
Energetic opposition to that portion OF
the Mapes bill, now pending before the
United States Senate, under the terms
Of which Marylanders working in the
District of Columbia would be required
to pay an income tax to the District
government was voiced by the Chamber
OF Commerce of Hyattsville at its De-
cember meeting, held last night in the
county Police Court room, in the Met
ropol1tan District Building here, the
new meeting place of the organization.
The matter was referred to the Legis-
lative Committee of the chamber, of
which S. Marvin Peach is chairman, for
such action as Is necessary to combat
most effectively the proposed legislation.
At the last meeting of the Cheverly
Citizens Association the corresponding
secretary of that organization was di-
rected to get in touch with Senators
Goldsborough and Tydings of Maryland
and Representative Stephen w. Gam
brill Of the fifth Maryland district,
urging them to use their influence to
block passage in the Senate of the bill,
which already has passed the House.
Name Change Discussed.
There was a lively discussion on the
proposition to change the name of the
chamber leaving out Hyattsville on the
ground that some other name would be
appropriate in view of the fact that the
influence of the organization extends
throughout the upper section of Prince
Georges County. A special committee,
appointed by President William T. Jen-
nings at the November meeting and
headed by Morton T. May, recommend
ed a change that would be more indica-
