There Is a Spirit in Man.
nlY1I1th Harold

When Gandhi announced a fast of
three weeks as a protest against the
hideous Indian caste practice of "un-
touchability." there were few who
thought that that frail man would live
through 1t. The doctors who looked
him over said there was hardly
enough strength in him to keep life
going even with food, and without
food he would surely die.
But Gandhi did not think so, and
Is there much room for doubt that one
OF the chief reasons why he lived to
finish his fast is that he did NOT
think so?
Another, of course, is that the spirit
is stronger than the material body in
this sainted leader. and that the con-
sciousness of right cause helped him
through.
Somehow, in ways that science has
not yet explained, the mental attitude
often holds the decision of life or
death.
Lose a strong man in the woods
without food and, panic stricken, he
Will race around and die of starva-
ton and exhaustion in day or two.
Put a weaker man on a fast for
conscience's sake, and he will live
days and weeks.
1T Is the Spirit that quickeneth;
the flesh profiteth nothing

Answer-A normal mind does not
become unbalanced by such a shock
but mind already impaired would be
likely to react with some manifesto
ton Of insanity. The legends about
people going raving mad over some
such experience belong on the shelf
with the brain fever" that occurred
in old time novels when the great
passion got out Of hand and the au-
thor was stuck for suitable denoue-
ment.
Pupils Change Size
I have noticed that the pupils Of my
year old son change size at different
times during the day. I am anxious
about this. (Mrs. j. 81
Answer-The pupils normally con-
tract in light and dilate or grow large
in shade or darkness. They normally
contract when the eye regards any OBJ

or enlarge when the. eye looks off to
any distant object. So be Of good

Eight to Nothing

When Delaware and Nevada Joined
the list of states which have voted
for the prohibition repeal amend
ment, they brought the score on that
question to eight to nothing.
1t is an imposing record, especially
since the eight states are pretty we'll
scattered over the nation and the re-
suit in none Of them has been even
close.
Nevertheless, it still is too early to
say definitely how the repeal is 60
ing. Only 13 states are needed to
block ratification and the sectional
trends are too incomplete to warrant
a Judgment now.
A prophecy may be in order about
July !, as eight more states will have
decided their positions by that date.
They are Illinois, Indiana, Massachu-
sets, Connecticut, New Hampshire,
Iowa, California and West Virginia.
If all Of these vote for repeal the
matter can be pretty much regarded
as all over but the shouting. If even
one of them fails to do so, however,
the fact may prove a cloud on the
horizon which may develop into a
storm.
In the Is states which will have vot-
ed by July /, the east, middle west
and west will have been pretty gen.
orally represented. This will be par
ticularly true Of the mid-continent
area which usually gives the best in
dication of national tendencies.
Politically speaking, it is pretty safe
to comment that If Iowa, Illinois, In
diana and Michigan all go the same
way the result is not in doubt.
On the repeal question Indiana and |
Iowa undoubtedly will be the most
important. They are pivotally placed |
geographically and neither has any
cities large enough to keep them from
being classed as agricultural states.
If these join the wet parade the
only remaining question will be the |
position Of the far south, dry in the !
past but not necessarily so any long
er.

have a splendid ball club in the
making.
Any team looks good when it wins,
but the same comment would have

been different. The boys played

they have great potential power.

games are assured.

Rising Prices

Not the least lMpOII dIlL phase VI
the business recovery. as many Bis
marck merchants are finding out, is
the sudden shift from buyers to
a sellers market in many lines.
This does not mean that makers OF
goods are not anxious to sell their
wares. It does mean that business
has recovered to the point where they
no longer are over-anxious. They are
now insisting on doing business at a
profit, il at all.
The result has already been made
apparent to some Bismarck merchants
who have placed orders for goods re-
Gently. In some instances they have
been told frankly that the order can
not be filled at once nor at the FORM
er low prices. Such notices usually
contain the information that the Or
der will be filled "at the market
price" when the firm making the
goods catches up with its orders.
Right now the effect Of this situa-
ton is being felt by the merchant.
Tomorrow, however, it will be felt by
the consumer.
A report by the federal government,
published Tuesday, asserts that farm
prices have increased rapidly during
the last month with no attendant in
crease In the cost of consumer goods, :"
this being the trade designation for
manufactured articles other than
food.
The latest Dun and Bradstreet in
dex, however, reports 81 price in
creases in q week as compared with
~ price decreases. The effect Of this
margin of increases over decreases
will be felt soon and the government
will be unable to report so wide dis
crepancy in price trends In the near
future unless all the natural laws of
commerce become imperative.
Meanwhile, however, local mer-
chants appear willing to sell goods OBJ
tanned at former low prices on the old
basis, rather than attempt to take
immediate advantage of the rising
price trend. They took the losses at
tendant on falling prices applied to
their inventories but are indisposed
to reverse the process now that the
movement is in the opposite direction.
In doing 50 they are displaying
sound business sense as well as respect
for the keen competition which has
been generated during the last few
years.
Everyone, including the man who
foots the bill, wants rising prices, but
he doesn't want them to rise as fast
as his income. Merchants know this
and so they are delaying the day for
marking up price tags until new
goods, purchased at the higher figures,
arrive. They realize that any wide
spread greediness on the part of bust
nessmen might do much to set back
the recovery now we'll in evidence.
For this they are to be congratulate
ed.
The consumer, also. should prepare
himself for the inevitable. A few
years hence We will have heard a lot
about why could have bought that
for almost nothing in the spring of
1885,"

GIRLS, SHAVE, AND
HERE'S GOOD HUNTING

A klnd-hearted, you Know, girls,
fatherly colleague contributes a bit OF
advice for the ladies who
are just crazy to 60 bicycling but re-
frain because the prevailing costume
makes shaving necessary, and the
more lady shaves the more But
let our friend tell It:
Dear Doctor:
Your recent statement to the
effect that the fine down that
covers every Women's skin tends
to become coarser and more con-
spicuous If she shaves with safety
razor or uses chemical depilatories
to remove it, Is not correct, &C
cording to my observation.
I am SIS years old. Since boy
hood have had a "bug" on carry
ing a sharp knife. At each sharp
ening I tested it by shaving some
of the hair off my left forearm.
For many years I kept that sur
face shaved off smoothly. Now
after six months 1t has grown out,
and certainly the years Of shaving
did not make the hair grow
coarser or heavier.
I noticed when this hair first
grew out it did seem sitter, but
after it grew longer it became as
soft and fine as the hair on the
unshaved arm. Perhaps this ap-
parent coarseness and stiffness Of
the hair when 1t Is short explains
the common belief that shaving
or dissolving the hair stimulates q
coarser growth.
You can contribute q good deal
to the happiness Of some women
to say nothing Of the Joy Of life
for the rest of us-by measuring
your fair readers about this.
Yours sincerely,
c. p. C., M. D.
