Lily Lou had not known that
cleanliness could Be 30 dismal. The
inoleum that M5. Grampas
sluiced down every day with strong
suds was always family sticky I'M

dry soap. Halt the time there wers

HOW THE BARONESS NUN.
CHAUSEN DID 1T

Every five years or so the conduc-
tor prints some mean little wisecrack
here about a reducing joke say
reducing by putting some salts IN
your bath or by wearing q magic gar
ment or by having some eSotertc mas
sage or electric or ray treatment that
melts the fat and dispoSes OF 1t while
you read the funny paper. The bald
assertion invariably brings q NUMBER
Of peppery letters, most OF them more
or less anonymous. The latest thrust
in that direction brought q letter
from q reader, and the yarn she SPINS
wins for her the title above conferred.
Incidentally, her narrative conveys .
good health lesson II you can read
between the lines. Here Is the es-
sence of it:
Dear Sir:
Some time ago you made the
statement that no reducing roll
ers etc. would really reduce flesh,
and you said only diet and exer-
else could do so safely and ef-
fectively.
Well, let me tell you my ex-
perienoe. All diets failed. Even
DR.. Brady's whole wheat, flax
seeds ETC., and walking two miles

ableS etc.
I bought q reducing roller hav-
ing four rubber rolls, each having
suction cups. I rolled my
tummy and chest five minutes,
also my hips, back, ETC., five min
utes, night and morning, and
finally I rolled for twenty minutes
night and morning. What Is the
result after two months?
Need no diet. circulation better
than ever. waist slender ana
curves In naturally, hips slender,
complexion clear and pink, pa
tient always on her toes, ready to

Right there was where I conferred

went the sudden change. From FIRST
person to third in line. Sounds q
though she were copying the descrip-
ton out Of q folder, what?
There Is more to come. The Bar
oness Is Just betting warmed up:
My mother tried 1t on her left
knee, that was getting stiff and
painful. Knee all better now, oil
gone, lurrah for the--roller.
Everybody should have one. Mas
sage Is the only way to keep TIT
and we'll. Diets I think are no
use whatever. I tried them.
Everybody cannot eat wheat. ana

jority Of people. Horseteed, Tor

CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON
Doctor G.. A. Rawlings

Forty-nine years ago on Monday
of last week there arrived in BIS
marck q young man. He had come
with his father and brothers from
Illinois for the purpose Of establishing
wheat farm on the virgin prairie
Of this county. Any honest effort to
successfully subdue nature not only
calls for but begets strength Of char
acter. The young man carried in his
blood q rich inheritance, accumulated
through generations Of pioneers who
had in succession been helping to ex-
tend the frontier farther and farther
westward and who had contributed to
their communities the men and
women who have laid the foundation
upon which has risen the United
States Of America.
His first hand experience gained on
the Dakota prairie not only tested but
enriched that inheritance. Thus six
years later. through his own un-
daunted efforts, the young man was
able to realize q cherished ambition
to enter the University Of Michigan.
An unusual capacity to interpret and
execute the intricate art Of his pro-
fessional work so impressed his uni
verSity associates that he was urged
to establish himself In one Of the
metropolitan centers OF the East. but
the flavor Of the broad open spaces
appealed more strongly and soon af-
ter graduation he returned to Dakota
and began his practice In Bismarck.
Here he continued to practice for 20
years. Seldom has 1t been the good
fortune Of any community to enjoy
so rich blessing Of matchless pro-
fessional service.
His philosophy Of life and his pro-
fessional standards required that he
perform his work thoroughly. He
lived simply. because he considered 1t
q high duty to conserve his mental
and physical fitness SO as to do well
the task ct hand. Play and the
sports were to him but q means to
achieve well-rounded professional
life. Work was to him privilege.
The completion Of q difficult job
meant only increased capacity for
performing . harder one.
The legacy which he leaves consists
not Of . vast accumulation of ma
terial things. which the past few
years have proved to be so elusive.
His memory will not be cherished
because he was pleasant and con-
genial gentleman-which he was. His
great contribution is the deep. endur-
ing influence which will continue to
inspire his professional brethren to
greater efforts in their service to
their fellow men.
In these days Of uncertainty, I'm.
rest and disappointment, when people
are seemingly ct . loss for standards
of stability and worth, 1t is well to
reflect on . life that has been 80 rich
in Ill the things that make life worth
while and that has meant 50 much to
an entire community. Such Is the
heritage left by Doctor q. A. Raw
linss.
