We Hope They Do

Even as We recognize the financial
difficulty which the city administra-
ton faces, we have the optimism to
hope that some way will be found
to lower water rates for out-of door
purposes next summer as suggested by
the Bismarck Yard and Garden Club.
The suggestion by this organization
is one born Of love for beauty and
good home conditions, coupled with
q knowledge Of the situation which
faces the average individual.
Bismarck is we'll justified In It's
pride Of appearance. No other city
in the state Is. on the whole. quite 50
beautiful and 1t will be Z shock to
see this beauty deteriorate because
water rates make it too expensive to
keep lawns and gardens in good con-
>dition.
II the city commission can find any
way to lower the lawn and garden
water rate It should do 50 by ali
means.

would not accuse these firms Of be-
ing out Of touch with commercial
conditions. Flung far and wide
across the continent, they have ac-
curate knowledge of conditions ev-
erywhere. They have the facilities
to keep fully advised Of price trends
at all times. When they begin to
stiffen their prices. therefore, more
than ordinary significance may be
attached to the fact.
The tendency is born out by the
latest report OF r. G. Dun and COM
pany. At various periods since the
beginning Of the depression there
have been price recoveries, followed
later by further declines. We are
experiencing one Of these hard spots
now. For the current week there
were 81 commodity price advances as
compared with % in the same period
for 1882. There were % price de-
clines as compared with 80 a year
ago. This is the first week in many
that increases have exceeded declines
in number or in which the COMPARE
son with the previous years statistics
was so favorable.
But this hard spot" in the price
structure is accompanied by cor
responding stiffening of catalogue
prices. The others had no such &C.
colade. On this basis we can figure
that we have at last turned that
corner" for which we have longed,
even though we do not know it and
cannot prove it.

A CALL TO INDIA
New York, Jan. 17.-Manhattan's
annual artistic tid-bit is furnished by
India this season.
Last year 1t was Spain with Es-
cudero, arrogant masked dancer. The
year before 1t was Mary Wigman with
her stylized dancing from Berlin and
Vienna. And before that It was Mel
Lan-Fang with his high-keyed, fall

And there was senorita Meller, with
her Spanish songs; there was Ar

OppOrtunity Knocks

Proposal to organize Minis
classes here under the direction Of the
state agricultural college offers ex-
cellent opportunity to those who have
leisure on their hands or who would
like to improve themselves.
Too often. expressions OF regret
that one did not have opportunity
to obtain an education are mere
whines, accompanied by no determin-
alton for self-improvement.
The fact is that the best educated
men and women are those who have
improved themselves. College may
impart some learning and a social
veneer but it is by no means the only
method for obtaining knowledge.
The spirit with which the student
approaches his subject is all-import-
ant. The dilettante skins the sur
face. He may have been exposed
to education but frequently it does

The man who finds the approach
to learning difficult, whatever the
reason, is more likely to take full
advantage Of an opportunity when
he gets 1t.
For the latter, opportunity is
knocking at the door by reason of the
proposal to organize a night school
here which will give college credit.
Those who mourn handicaps in the
past need no longer do so. II they

ASSOCIATION OF MIGRAINE
WITH LEUKODERMA

A lady who is just beginning the
calcium lactate treatment for mi
graine, promises to report in 10 weeks
what her experience was. She offers
an interesting observation.
She developed migrainc at the age
of 10 years and at the same time her
skin began to bleach out in spots.
This disappearance Of the natural
pigment from patches in the skin is
called leukoderma or sometimes vi
tiligo, or commonly "piebald" skin. If
the individual is blond the white spots
are not 50 noticeable. But very dark
persons are much embarrassed by the
white or colorless spots. The nature
and cause of the condition is un-
known.
Our correspondent goes on to say
that in the apartment building next
to her residence there is man who
has the same story of migraine and
leukoderma patches developing at the
same time. And she has met three
other persons with leukoderma patch
es who likewise suffer from migraine.
So the lady wonders whether there is
any definite relation between mi
eraine and leukoderma. or whether
these instances are just coincidence.
For that matter. no one knows the
nature or cause of migraine. just to
show how skillfully we conceal our
ignorance of such things I'll quote
from Pusey's standard textbook on
Germatology:
Leukoderma is presumably a
trophoneurosis. and is frequently
associated with neurotic disturb
anceS."
DR.. Pussy mentions migraine as one
Of the conditions with which leukO-
derma is frequently associated.
"Trophoneurosis" is terrible word.
Neurosis is a malady affecting the
nervous system, for which there is no
known or discoverable cause or ex-
PLANTATION. Epilepsy is neurosis; so
is migraine. The prefix 'troph''
means nutrition.
We should like to hear from our
readers who happen to have observed
cases in which white patches ap-
peared about the same time migraine
developed.
There is no way to restore the
natural pigment in such patches Of
skin. But a skilled dermatologist-
that is physician who treats skin
diseases-can give much cosmetic i'm
provement by tattooing the white
spot to match the normal surrounding
skin.
Some persons disguise the white
areas by staining with walnut juice.
Many have found the following
paint satisfactory for concealing such
leukoderma patches, as well as other
blemisheS of the skin:
Mix one small tablespoonful of
glycerin with 11s ounces OF zinc
oxid and IL ounces of calamin
and pint of water. To this add
from 10 to go drops of ichthyol-
enough to give the paint q tint to
match the normal skin.

A Happy Choice

Arrival of William Lemke, con.
gressman-elect, to take over the
duties of legal adviser to the Nom
partisan majority in the present leg
islature, injects new pep and action
into the law-making proceedings and
will do much to smooth the approach
to the knotty problems which the
legislature faces.
For Lemke has those elements OF
character, industry and intelligence
which the majority organization can
rely upon with implicit faith.
This counselor is man Of firm con-
victions and undoubted loyalty to the
cause of greater opportunity for the
masses. which all Nonpartisans pro-
tess. He has suffered for it and with
it. He has been buried in the ruins
OF a past political organization and
has risen from the ashes Of defeat
to the heights OF victory without sac
rificing a single principle, recanting
. single dogma or taking a backward
step.
Since the responsibilities OF a ma
jority are tremendous. the Nonpar-
tisan organization will find great
benefit in the leadership and advice
which Lemke can offer. A tried and
true fighter, his presence on the
scene lends zest to the occasion. His
selection marked happy choice.
Many they are who will disagree
with policies advocated by Mr.. Lemke
none. however, can question his
honesty and sincerity.
