The Biscuit Battle

Lawyers will watch with some at
tention the suit which has been insti-
tuted by the Kellogg company against
the National Biscuit company under
the antitrust laws.
It began with the attempt of the
Kellogg company to make and mar
ket shredded wheat products and the
efforts of the National Biscuit COM
pany to keep it from so doing.
The shredded wheat product was
originally patented and its present
makers thus had exclusive rights to
it. When the patent expired, how
ever, it became public property. Other
manufacturers Of cereal products have
sought to use it, according to this new
and unusual complaint, but have been
prevented from so doing by threats,
coercion and intimidation"
The Kellogg company asserts these
measures were used against it and
asks 100000 damages therefor.
The case probably will go down in
the lawbooks as one of some import
ance, since 1t offers some peculiar
angles. A good title for it would be

Use Your Own Judgment


With grain prices rising, cheer re-
turns to North Dakota and other ag-
ricultural districts.
Reports printed Friday by The
Tribune indicate that the bumper crop
in prospect month ago has not been
fully realized but that yields in this
area are better than average, although
some Of the grain is not of high grade.
The next question confronting the
farmer is how and when to market
his grain. Those who sign the agree
ment to hold their wheat should keep
their word. They may profit by do
ing so. The plan to market only 10
per cent a month has merit, regard
less Of any effect it may have on the
price.
Many persons are predicting that
grain will go to 80 cents or a dollar
a bushel at North Dakota elevators
within the next few months. It may
and we hope it does-but there is
nothing certain about it.
The sound thing for the average
farmer to do is to watch the situation
closely, take careful note of his own
situation and then use his own judg-
nent. 1t probably will prove as good
as anyone's.

The average citizen, soft-hearted

from Wall Street that a good many
bears" have had their fingers burned
as the result of recent advances in
stock and commodity prices.
The bears have been advocates of
gloom for the last few years and many
have made millions by their refusal
to believe that things ever were going
to improve in this country. Like
crows sitting on a fence, they have
been harbingcrs of financial distress
and economic misery-and they prof.
tied by it.
Now, when they are caught in the
trap which their own mental pro-
cesseS set for them, they squeal. 1t Is
music to the average mans ears, for
it is retribution long delayed.
There have been good many things
wrong with this country and some ad-
justments probably are yet to be
made, but one of the most important

sional gloom spreaders were taught a

quently at the same time and hand
in hand. Where illness precedes the
death of the average breadwinner
debts are incurred and families are
frequently reduced to woeful want,
even before the final disaster occurs.
To meet this situation, there are
springing up here and there through
out the country medical benefit cor
porations, to which payments are
made while a person is in good health
but which gets nothing while he is
i'll. It is the old Chinese system of
paying a doctor for keeping you well.
The modern touch is seen mainly in
the form Of organization.
Some OF these organizations make
provision for disability benefits dur
ing the period of illness, in addition
to guaranteeing medical care-and
there is some talk of adding a life
insurance provision. Thus, by paying
one premium, a citizen could insure
his life, his health and his income.
The organization of such mutual
benefit corporations is one of the
signs of our times and is the present.

theory that it is better to stand to-
gether than to fall separately.
Also, it shows intensified develop
ment of foresight, a quality whose
value has been much enhanced these
last few years.
It may be that these corporations
are no real answer to the medical
problems of the average family, but
the fact that they have become rather
widespread indicates they are not
without some merit.

1t would seem, hold-over from the
trust-busting days in the early part
of this century when the I. c. G. first
began to grip the railroads and to
restrict their operations.
This part of the northwest wants
its waterways to become lanes OF
commerce again. This Is especially
true of Bismarck, once a great river
port. But it is not particular who
does the work. All things being equal,
it would prefer to have the water
transportation industry in private
hands rather than under government
control. 1t Is a bit silly, therefore,
to bar the railroads from the inland
water transportation field. Wha t
once seemed a cure for manifest ills
now rises, in its turn, to plague us.
It would seem only the part of
common sense and fair play to forbid
rate-cutting by the railroads and to
open to them all transportation fields,
for both freight and passengers.

CIVIC VIRTUES REWARD
In view of the Seabury hearings,
the eventful fate of Civic Virtue
doesn't seem so terribly important
Still the current problem of what to
do with this most discussed bit of
statuary, now that it's to be tossed
from its moorings in City Hall Square
seems to write final chapter to the
most adventurous career any sculp-
| ture could boast.
Having been given to the city OF
New York, together with fountain
base, Civic Virtue was modelled in
Normandy.
It was at time when the Ger
mans were marching toward Paris
and, to protect it, the statue was hid
den in a barn under pile of hay
Later it was struggled into Paris
where it was buried in the earth fol
months. When, finally, it did get tt
Gotham, a large critical howl went
up. Civic Virtue, it was said, was ar
insult to womanhood, and an ugly
mess.

ordered and the statue had no place
in the plans. It will cost some 5000

Drafting the Citizen
minneapolis Tribune)

In announcing the appointment of
committee of citizens, headed by
President Coffman of the University
of Minnesota, to make study of land
utilization as part Of broad policy
of conservation, Governor Olson has
drafted another group Of individuals
to work out some of the problems of
government. In recent years groups
Of individuals, who are not a part Of
the government Of The state in an Of
fetal capacity, have been called into
being to do work that Is both legisla-
tive and executive In its nature. A
similar committee has been making a
study Of the taxation system in Min
nesota and both groups will be eX-
pected to make specific recommended
tons that may guide the governor and
legislature in shaping new legislative
policies.
This growing practice Of making use
Of the services Of public-spirited citi-
Gems in preparing legislative pro-
gram has much to indorse it, but thus
far practical results have been few.
Legislatures have been slow to accept
even the work of their own interim
commissions, to say nothing about re-
ports from committees whose men,
bership is recruited outside their own
body. Yet in the instance of both
taxation and land utilization, the
problems involved are Of such import
ance, and touch so closely upon the
public welfare, that the work Of these
two special committees appointed by
Governor Olson should receive the
thoughtful consideration Of the state
when they come to make their specific
recommendations
Minnesota Is finding itself the
owner Of large tracts Of land that

WELL, WELL, A CURED PATIENT
ADMITS 1T

Listening in to one of Aimee's tes-
tirlonial meetings where, singularly
enough, all the customers have pre-
viously tried only regular medical
treatment-and that in neck of the
woods where it is hard to find regu-
lar physician for the hordes of irregu-
lars milling about-one is reminded of
a quirk of human nature. We delight
to tell the world Of our cure If there
is anything unorthodox about the
remedy or treatment. If We are cured
by regular doctor or by orthodox
methods, we prefer to forget it.
But here comes a lady who has
been cured of Raynaud's disease and
doesn't mind admitting it, notwith-
standing the fact that her cure was
brought about by common garden
doctors with strictly scientific meth
DDS.
I'm your column recently" she
writes, II read an article written
by a woman who said she had
noticed that twice in one day her
fingers had turned dead white
and there seemed no life in them
till she put them in hot water,
which brought the circulation
back. Your reply was that the
condition is known as Dead Fin
gers or 'Raynauds affection
and that you knew of no other
relief but the hot water treat
ment or heat in other forms.
II just want to say that I, too,
| was a sufferer from Raynaud's
disease, so much so that I had
two gangrene ulcers on my feet.
| October 2, 1928, I had an opera
ton, Lumbar Sympathetic Gang
lionectomy, performed by DIS
and. Today am in splendid
health and my feet have been
perfect ever since.
IF anyone else writes to you
suffering with this disease kindly
refer them to these doctors at
such and such address"
The removal of the sympathetl
ganglion sometimes called "sympa
thectomy') is now frequently resortet
to, as a means of relief for Raynaud'
affection. In most cases it gives high
ly satisfactory results.
Other suggestions which have COM
from readers who are victims of tn
trouble are:
Diathermy treatment, with one cleo
trode on the arm of the sympatheti
ganglion and the other on the liml
involved, has given considerable re
lief.
In cases where the attacks occur a
night patients find they can get
good nights rest by wearing on tn
affected foot or hand a suitable ten
cover with an ordinary 25-watt cleo
trio light bulb burning all night, t.

of Raynaud's disease seems to be mill
