Pointing the Way

~AsSso S~.S
One Of the most significant items
printed in this section of the state
recently is that telling how Burleigh
county steers topped the market at
South st. Paul a few days ago. It
indicates a growth and development
which are Of supreme importance If
this section is to have the prosperity
which 1t would like.
With reduced wheat acreage In
prospect, many farmers will have
more time in which to go in for the
breeding and feeding of cattle. They
will have opportunity to try their
own experiments and learn how they
can best market the produce Of the
farm ION the hoof."
Even the best of cattle comprise
no swift and easy road to affluence.
It takes hard work and lots of it;
more skill than many a businessman
brings to his affairs. The results are
not always profitable and the Job
often Is more troublesome than other
kinds of farming.
Yet the rewards are liable to be
much more substantial than can be
obtained by raising so-called cash
crops, the risk Is not quite as great
and the fundamental knowledge not
really difficult to obtain.
The farmers from this district who
occasionally top the market with
their fed steers do their fellows and
the community real service. They
point the way to better times.

NO SECH ANIMAL AS MUCOUS
COLITIS

Well, well, having disposed OF rheu-
matism, govt, the common cold, bill
iousness, nervous prostration, dyspep-
STA and one thing and another by de-
claring that there is no such malady,
I've been scuffling all these years
with irritated readers who insist they
have mucous COLTS and why don't
I ever say anything about 1t. Once
in a while I have ventured to in
sinuate that such a person was In
error, but that only makes him all
the madden and very likely he winds
up the set-to by writing an indignant
protest.
Indeed found so little profit quar-
reling with mucous colitis patients
shat I quietly dropped the subject
some years ago, and met all queries
referring to it with q blank avowal
of total ignorance, or, worse, fairly
oignified silence.
But at last I have decided to speak
about this suggestions inflammation
of the colon, and dispose of the prob
lem once and for all. Mind, tho, I'm
still just as ignorant as ever about
the nature, cause, treatment or cure
ct whatever ais persons who think
they have mucous colitis, so don't get
any wild idea that have made a dis
covery about 1t.
What I have to say Is simply that
the term mucous colitis" Is a mis-
ncner which makes the condition
sound and seem much worse than 1t
usually is. There is no inflammation
Of the colon In such cases, as a gen.
eral rule. Therefore it is a gross ex-
aggeration to call the trouble "colitis"
that means inflammation of the
colon. For quacks-of which we have
plenty in the specialist business-it
may be a great little idea to dub the
complaint mucous colitis' If the un-
happy patient happens to get so up
set over something that his colon goes
into a slight spasm and more than
the ordinary quantity of mucus is
secreted. The seriousness of the
sound Of this name adds materially
to the anxiety of the patient, and
then a few enemas will irritate enough
to increase the mucus formation still
more, and thus where before there
was just a spastic constipation you
have full-blown neurotic to deal
with. However, you won't have him
long, for either he will soon reach the
conclusion that he knows so much OF
more than the doctor does about the
trouble, or else he will hear of some
bigger and better specialist and fade
forthwith from your ken.
Patients who suffer from this spas.
tic constipation should understand
that it is not a disease which can b
cured by enemas or irrigations o.
freak diets. It Is merely a symptom
or manifestation of the genera
panic or fear underlying the "nerv.
BUSINESS" In practice the most salts.
factory treatment for so-called 'muc
Gus COLTS" is to ignore the condition
as much as possible, and direct tn,
treatment to the patients genera
health. OF course the hidden or un
suspected source Of fear or worr.
must be dug out and properly deal
with.

Todd has Just returned from Chicago
He watched thousands Of people pass
before the canvass every day; saw
many of them return again and again
to stand in reverence, and some OF
them in tears. He met an aged
invalid, who had packed up her whole
family and travelled there from Mo-
bile, Ala, just to see the painting. :.
These are the things that have
made the big, broad-shouldered por-
trait painter afraid. Or perhaps not
so much afraid as dismayed and cur
iously humble, amazed that his hand
could have been the medium Of such
q stirring thing.
X X 4
FOUR FAILURES
Todd combines a confusing null
tiplicity of interests. He originally
wanted to be q soldier, but became
an artist instead. He studied en-
cheering at college in st. Louis, then
art for four years in Paris. Incident.
ally, he won a prize there for an ex-
temporaneous composition of Mary
at the Tomb. AS one Of Americas
leading portrait artists, he has painted
three presidents and scores Of cele-
brities. He was ~ when tho war
came, served in the Intelligence
Division, later became Red Cross
Commander for France and Belgium.
France decorated him twice.
For some reason that he can't quite
analyze, he tried five times to depict
the Nazarene. Four were unfinished
failures. One day last winter. STROLL
ing on his estate near Huntington,
L. l., he had an inspiration. Return
ing to his studio, which looks like q
little sylvan chapel, he began to paint.
Didn't even sketch tho features; Just
transferred the pigments to canvas.
Eight hours later he laid down his
brushes and look at the result. No
man Of sorrow, this, but q Jesus
strong, confident and compassionate.
