Chest were used to erect q huge
Christmas tree, with vari-coiored
lights, on the Northern Pacific pas
Senger depot property, to amuse Bis
marck children during the Christmas
period.
Other Drives Avoided
Donations to the N. .. CEildren's
Home, Florence Crittenton Home, St.
Johns Orphanage, and N. D. House
of Mercy are made annually from
the Community Chest fund in place
of having these institutions make in
dividual drives here, according to
Supreme Court Justice A. M. Chris
tianson, chairman of the Community
Chest.
Christianson pointed out that
though these institutions are located
in Fargo they are statewide estab-
lishmentS. He said that Burleigh
county always has some persons in
these institutions and that they are
cared for cheaper there than would
be possible if the county undertook
the work independently here.
The community council spent $500
of its allotment in rent for its rest
room and nursery and $365 for ma
irons salary. In addition $25 went
for equipment of the rooms, $3.50
for lights, and $26 for incidentals.
Since this total was over the allot-
ment, some of the money spent was
drawn from the councils balance
from the preceding year.
Conducts Health Work
The council also received some
money from the Christmas Seal fund
for use in health work. Health work
in the schools, including physical ex-
aminations, supplying of glasses, car
ing for teeth and tonsilectomies, med
ical care, hospital bills. and some
clothing, cost the council $472. Free
milk distributed to needy school chill
dren cost 1924.
The girls work council began the
year with a total of $940.75, including
the $785 allotment from the Com
munity Chest, SIS in donations, and
balance of $140.75 from the year
before.
OF this sum, $1O6.25 went for main
tenance of the Girl Scout organiza-
ton, expenditures including national
organization and membership fees of
SO per troop and small sums for
books, pins, and other equipment.
Salaries for workers took $559.95, in
Guiding $349.95 for Is, part time
worker, $40 for assistants, 500 for a
director at Camp Chan Owpai, and
$1OO for playground directors.
Equipment for girls clubs cost $19.62
while playground equipment took
$27.5O. Miscellaneous camp expenses
were 1927, community council dues
were 81. and 81 was spent for Incl
dentals.
Total expenditures were $736.59,
leaving a balance of $204.16 on hand
at the present time.

Medical ASSOCIATION
Among the agonizing pains that
afflict mankind, earache ranks next
to toothache in frequency, and prob
ably next to what Is called a Jump
ing" toothache for painfulness.
DR.. Joseph Hopper lists some OF
the common causes of earache. The
average man can guess at the cause
Of his stomachache or even at the
cause OF his headache, but he will
do little with trying to determine the
causes of the earache because an In
spection of the ear by some one
trained in the examination Of ears
is necessary in order to make Ger
tain diagnosis.
Sometimes an earache is brought
about by boil or an inflammation
in the canal leading from the exte-
rior down to the ear drum. There
was Q time when any good toilet kit
had an ear spoon as one OF the &C.
cessories. The ear spoon disappeared
long before the toothpick lost caste
in polite society. It is now good ad-
vice never to put anything into the
ear smaller than the elbow, and it
has to be small elbow indeed that
can get inside the outer orifice.
When a boil begins in the canal
it is accompanied by swelling, and
the swelling means pain. The boil
in the canal will come to head just
like boil anywhere else in the body
When 1t comes to q head it bursts
and the swelling is relieved. With
the relief of swelling comes relief
from the pain. When there is a boil
or even a severe pimple, pulling on
the ear is painful and pressure in
front or behind the ear, even as slight
as may be brought about by chewing
or movement of the jaws will exag-
gerate the pain. In such cases moth
ing at all may be visible from the
outside. However, the physician who

BELGIUM's STRENGTH

On Oct. II, 1917, an official state
ment was given out setting forth
Belgiums fighting strength.
She had, the statement said, 12O,-
600 men on the 25-mile Belgian fir
ing line. Back Of these were 100000
more in training or reserve, and back
OF these, fully equipped munitions
system and base and transport Or
ganization.
A large part of the war supplies
are produced in Belgian munitiori
factories, operated by Belgians and
worked by Belgian women, children
! and wounded men.
Since Belgium could no longer levy
taxes in her own territory, she was
financed by loans from Britain
France and the United States. The
United States was lending her ST.
100000 a month.
In Africa the Belgian flag waved
over the Congo territory and Bel
gian army of $4,000 natives, com.
manded by Belgian officers, con-
Quered from Germany 10000 square
miles.
At the outbreak of the war, Bel.
GUM had 10000 regulars and 150,0Ol
national guardsmen.

Start Drive for Funds


Bismarck has DELAYED its drive for
Red Cross and Community Chest
funds a week so as to meet more
efficiently local demands. Next Tues
day initiates the combined campaign
to support both of these necessary
and vital community efforts for poor
relief and support of several civic
ventures.
Social welfare affairs In Burleigh
county have been in excellent hands
for years and the same administra-
ton, for the most part, is retained
intact for probably what is the most
important drive since the war.
Teams and committees will be busy
for the next week or 10 days and the
response must be more generous than
in past years because the demands
are greater. Unemployment relief
work has been added to the usual
normal demands upon the Red Cross
and Community Chest. No one can
tell just what funds will be neces-
sary so the budget has been framed
with the idea of taking care of all
contingencies.
Bismarck and Burleigh county, in
the past, have met all demands Of
this kind cheerfully. There should be
no deviation from that policy next
week. There are farm homes as we'll
as city neighborhoods where the
pinch of want is felt. These homes
must have help during the winter
which is almost upon us. Welfare
workers who have been conducting a
survey for weeks know fairly well
what is needed to carry the needy
families through to spring. 1t is safe
to accept their figures.
Little time need be spent in ex-
planning to the citizens the need of
the drive and the appeal for a larger
budget. No one should be ignorant
of the necessity for relief. In years
gone by the canvass for funds has
been taken as perfunctory matter
The budget has been set at so much
and the money quietly raised with
out much fuss or feathers.
The emergency today is different
Unless the more fortunate citizens OF
Burleigh county contribute to those
suffering through no fault of thei,
own, there will be actual distress ir
the city and county districts. There
need be no such distress II those who
are able only aid to the full extent o1
their ability. There are enough re.
sources in the county, properly mar.
shalled, to make sure that no on,
goes hungry this winter.
If the appeal for funds is general,
answered, the burden on anyone il
not going to be hardship. Their,
are some community obligations tha
must be met. This combined driv,
is one Of them and Burleigh county
as usual. must reach, if not exceed
the assigned quota.

Kitchen Can Be A

Of Nov. 16. For SO long, housewives
have been urged to come out OF
the kitchen that the majority OF
the younger women, especially,
Mrs. Ihrig thinks, have come to
regard the kitchen as the homes

isn't at all
The kingdom OF the kitchen"
belongs peculiarly to the house
wife, she asserts. 1t is here that
she reigns supreme, at liberty to
wave her magic wand Of cookery
and, with a dash of onion juice,
a sprinkling Of paprika, mixing Of
mushrooms and spreading OF FROST
ing. produce those magic edibles
which crown her with one OF the
most enviable of American titles
a good cook. A man is pathetically
out Of place in this realm Of the
houSehold-not for all his methods
Of efficiency, economy or far
SightedneSS in business, can he
come into the kitchen without
results, somehow, approaching the
disastrous.
The modern kitchen can be as
smart, ~colorful. and convenient as
any other part of the house. the
economics authority maintains, and
rightly So-since the housewife
must spend much OF her time there.
The wisest housewife will not have
her living room deliberately fur
nished. and keep the door shut on
a kitchen which she would be
ashamed for her guests to see, Mrs.
Ihrig declares.
The up-to-date kitchen is shining,
convenient. Astounding in the mod
ern features that make It a spot
OF contentment and enjoyment for
the housewife. rather than one OF
drudgery. And color has invaded
the kitchen-a stove is no longer a
black iron creature which sits In
the corner and becomes ruSted and
ugly: nor yet is ii only white; the
range may take color along with
other furnishings Of the kitchen
the pots and pans, kitchen ware,
curtains. linoleum, wall paper
everything these DAYS may be made
10 harmonic in the kitchen the
same as any other room in the
house.
Dress up the kitchen" Is an
urge which Mrs. Ihrig will extend
to her audiences here IS a measure
which will more than repay the
housewife for her efforts and ex-
penditures. She will also pass on
to her hearers many ideas for
shortcuts" in the kitchen. con-
venient arrangements in routine.
and practical suggestions for
facilitating the household system.
