HOW TO FAKE NERVOUS
TROUBLE

This is the sixth lesson in the
course on nervous trouble" and as
teacher I flattered myself you pupils
were getting something from the
course, until after class the other day
one Of you buttonholed me -.
Now I don't mind being button
holed If the operator has charm, and
all that, but can tell you, my chill
dren, that not all the dumb are as
beautiful as this one is and hope
not all the beautiful are as dumb as
she Is either
She agreed with my teaching that
work, play, exercise, action, IS a fine
remedy for nerves" but she thought
1 should particufarize about that. 1t
was probably true in respect to peo-
pie of leisure. But she admonished
me that when overworked people get
run down or nervously exhausted
more work can hardly benefit them.
Come, row, we know you neurotics
are all pretty dumb (the dishonest
ones walked out on us early in the
course), yet your teacher believes
most of you should be able to detect
the flaw in Dora's exception right
away. If you can't, you had better
review the earlier lessons IN this
course. (You find the giSt OF the
entire series in monograph on nerv-
Gus trouble, copy of which will be
mailed if you ask for it and enclose
dime and a stamped envelope bear
ing your address,. You see, Dora's
pretty head is still too full Of the
hokum of old-time nerve specialists
and vendors of alleged nerve tonlcs,
and there isn't room for the simple
physiological truth, so it rattles
around awhile and then flies away.
To be sure, the parasites Dora calls
"leisurely people" constitute the great
majority of neurotics, for their alb

health and unhappiness. But II by
"overworked people" she means peo-
pie who do honestly work hard OF

Dangerous Billboards

The billboard has long been fam
Gus as nuisance. Now it is becom-
ing apparent that 1t is actually dan
gerous, as well.
Col. Frederick S. Greene, superin-
tendent of public works of New York
state, declares that the billboard dis
tracts the attention Of speeding mo-
florists on country highways and
thereby causes traffic accidents.
If a sign does not attract atten-
ton, thereby distracting the driver
from his business of handling his
motor car, it fails In its purpose "
says Colonel Greene. I'm my opin-
ion, the more important objection to
the billboard Is that 1t does cause
accidents rather than that it mars
the scenic beauty Of the roadside"

Interesting in connection with the
collection of money from the state
employees for the finance Of news
paper that will be designed to keep
the present governor in office Is re-
cent developments at the state mill
and elevator at Grand Forks.
The mill and elevator are conduct
ed as separate units and Mr.. c. A.
Bell, who is the manager OF the
elevator, gave word to the employees
Of his section that he did not approve
of this 5 per cent collection and ad-
vised them not to pay it. For fear
of losing their jobs many signed
the pledges in spite Of Mr.. Bells ad-
wise but nothing was done until the
week ending June II at which time
the office drew the weeks pay for
the employees in two checks, one to
cover the assessment for the news
paper and the other for the balance
due to the employee.
This action was reported to Mr.
Bell by one OF the employees and the
former advised the office of the At
torney General Of the state from
where an opinion was rendered tc
the effect that such procedure was
illegal and the result was that all
Of the employees Of the elevator were
given both of the checks.

employees are given value received

preposterous. It seems that the EN-
ployees of the state must surely b.
subjects, even though the rank an,
file still retain few liberties.
The question that arises in tn,
minds OF lot of people over tn
state Is: To whom will this news
paper belong, once it is establishe,
and begins publication. The execu
tive committee of the Nonpartisal
League (Which is the Nonpartisal

with it. Can it be that the state EN-

New Carrie Nation?

Mrs. Ida B. WlSe-Smltn, new nead
of the w. G. T. u, promises to use
Carrie Nation methods, If necessary
to net new converts for the prohibi-
ton cause. She said so at the an
nual convention Of the organization
in Milwaukee, city made famous by
an amber brew, and since she Is an
earnest lady it is to be presumed she
means what she says.
Getting prohibition converts seems
to be a rather difficult business just
now, since q good many Of the faith
full have become backsliders from the
noble experiment, and 1t seems prob
able that the new leader with the
hyphenated name will have oppor-
tunity to put her principles into
practice.
If she does, it will present a rather
sad spectacle, for conversion with
club is sadly out of date. This idea
has been proved erroneous by the
workings Of the 18th amendment
Prohibition attempted to use force
in making people stop drinking Ter
mented and distilled beverages. The
result was a small brewery IN every
other basement, q still on almost
-...,, .no&;o,, ~ land
For the benefit Of those with short
memories, it may be recalled tnat
Carrie Nation was woman Oh
rather violent disposition and a
strong aversion to liquor. She mace
this sentiment felt by walking into
old-time saloons, taking a healthy
WALTON at the bartender, hurting a
few glasses through the polished mir
rors, swinging q Ratchet on the bar
itself. and otherwise wrecking the
place, If history doesn't paint too
lurid a picture, Mrs. Nation was a
real Amazon and liked nothing so
much as a good fight in the inter-
ests of "the cause" She was not
averse to physical contact and on
some occasions was thrown out OF
drinking palaces, only to pick herself
up and march right back in again.
She was favorite subject for car
toonists, who always pictured her
with Ratchet In hand, and her name
became a by-word In the land.
Resurrection Of Carrie Nation tao
tics would only hold the w. G. T. U.
up to ridicule. It would be ineffec-
tive in the agitation for temperance
or the effort to revive prohibition.
The public attitude toward women
has changed since Carrie Nation was
q national figure. A woman no more
violent than the original would create
little comment today. 1t would take
a lady with a lot Of ut" to make the
front pages consistently by this
method.
The error, Of course, lies in any
attempt to use force In changing a
peoples manner Of thinking. It al
ways has failed and probably always
will. II for no other reason because
Of the innate perversity Of homo
sapiens.
A better method for the w. G. T.
u. would be the revival of the method
used by Mrs. John D. Rockefeller
ST., and other ladies of her day
They were not above praying in the
streets In front Of saloons, calling
on those who were drinking to for

NEVADA GOVERNOR URGES
BRANCH BANKING LAW
Message to State Legislature De-
clares Everything Possible Must
Be Done to Reopen Banks.

BY the Associated Press.
CARSON CITY, New. January 18.-
Changes in the Nevada banking laws
to permit branch banking and provide
greater security for public funds on
deposit in State banks were recon-
mended to the Legislature yesterday by
Gov. F. B. BalZar in message in
which he also advocated imposition OF
a special sales tax upon nominees
saries''
A proposed plan to reorganize and
reopen the IL closed Wingfield banks
in Nevada is contingent upon legisla-
ton permitting branch banking, the
Governor said, adding:
If, in our present unfortunate sit
uation in which SO large a part of
the States financial machinery has
ceased to function, the best plan pre-
sented for bringing about resumption
shall include branch banking as an
indispensable feature, then any other
course than legalizing branch banks
would be unthinkable."
