Scene-A Doctors Office
Doctor-What seems to be the
matter?
Patient-I don't feel just rigl. .
Doctor-When did you first
notice it?
Patient-It just came over me.
Doctor-What are the symp-
toms?
Patient get awfully depress-

of those understood pint bottles.
Doctor-Don't you think it is
just a temporary condition?
Patient livery frmly)-Not at
all; I'm certain it's good for nine
ty days.
Doctor have an idea l can
cure you in much less time than
that?
Patient-If you do I'll have to
change doctors.
Doctor-l'm rather inclined to
believe you'll be all right in sixty
days if you follow my treatmnt.
Patient-Nothing doing, doc.
I've got my mind all made up to be
sick three months.
Doctor-Suppose I give you a
prescription for sixty days and see
how you are at the end of that
time?
Patient-I'm determined to need
treatment for ninety days even if I
have to consult a specialist.
Doctor-Which seems to pull
you out of an illness more quickly,
bourbon or rye?
Patient-I generally build up
faster on rye, but I'll take bourbon
if YOU think it better.
Doctor-I'll write you a pre-
ecription for rye. What date is
this?

big help to BOWELS

big help TO BOWELS
What a joy to have the bowels move
like clockwork, every dayl It's easy,
if you mind these simple rules OF a
famous old doctor:
1. Drink a big tumblerful of water
before breakfast, and several
times a day.
2. Get plenty of outdoor exercise
without unduly fatiguing your
self.
8. Try for a bowel movement at
exactly the same hour every day.
Everyone's bowels need help at
times, but the thing to use is Dr..
C,aldwell's Syrup Pepsin. You'll get
a thorough cleaning-out, and it won't
leave your insides weak and watery.
This family doctors prescription is
Just fresh laxative herbs, pure pepsin,
and other helpful ingredients that
couldn't hurt a child. But how it
wakes up those lazy bowelsl How
good you feel with your system rid
Of all that poisonous waste matter.

New York, March S.-For the hum

been going to write "the great Amer.

Pearl Buck, who Is hard at work on
her third novel. Of tho GOOD Earth"
trilogy, does al her own work. She
often serves hot homemade breads
for breakfast. Also, she has done q
half dozen magazine articles and one
pamphlet this winter.
For sincerely humble person and 4
most considerate one, Mrs. Buck prob
ably holds records for having made
more people uncomfortable at . single
stroke than anyone In New York this
winter. At the recent Publishers
Convention luncheon, Mrs. Buck. in
tending to encourage those who have
trouble In getting their manuscript
placed, said, MY Good Earth went
the rounds for three years and visited
20 publishing houses and was returned
from them all In turn before got one

returned this best seller with the

One Of the most noteworthy things
about the epochal developments in
the banking situation Is the seeming
ly universal feeling that 1t is all for
the best and that Improvement Win
follow this shake-down in our econo-
mic affairs.
The fact that the situation reached
crisis upon the day new president
was inaugurated has given rise to
some speculation as to whether the
cause Of 1t was not q concerted at

istration. This may or may not be
50, but the fact remains that it has
given President Roosevelt and his
party an opportunity to render dis
tinguished service to the nation.
II they lead the way from this
wilderness-and the path certainly
Is open-they will win the support Of
the country and insure their re-elec-
ton. From that standpoint, there
fore, the theory Of q political plot
seems to break down. Plotters do not
often play their hands 20 soon or
prefer opportunities for success to
their enemies.
A more plausible view Is that peo-
pie with money, viewing the future
with uncertainty, decided to put 1t
where they certainly could get at it
in an emergency, thereby creating a
run on the banks.
Another and the most probable ex-
PLANTATION Is that many banks were
subjected to dry runs" q process
familiar to anyone who has watched
some $50 state banks close in North
Dakota in the last eight years. This
situation Is one In which the produc-
ton Of new wealth in q community
Is less than the expenditure, the diff.
ference being made up by reduction
in the accumulations OF previous
years.
In many sections Of the east new
wealth has not been produced at q |
very rapid rate in recent years. Ac-
cumulated resources Of individuals
are nearly exhausted and banks have
felt the strain caused by Withdrawals
for current needs.
The same situation has prevailed In
this area for years. We know all too
well what 1t Is and how 1t works.
Too often the remedy proposed for
this condition Is initiation or the cir
culation Of cheap money. Justifica-
ton can be found for a slight dose Of
this nostrum to get the patient re-
vived to . point where it can take
other nourishment, but it Is not the
answer.
The real solution IS to get our peo-
pie back to work so that production
Of wealth will exceed the expenditure.
When that happens we shall have re-
sumed the process Of accumulation
and things will be on the upgrade.

Songs and the Law

Few things demonstrate the funda-
mental soundness Of the American
people more clearly than two separ-
ate occurrences in our huge World
War Memorial building Sunday at
ternoon.
In the basement or lower gymnas-
ium the state senate struggled to dis
patch the mounting mass Of business
which had kept 1t in session two days
longer than provided by the consti-
tuition.
Upstairs, in the main auditorium.
Bismarcks concert orchestra was
presenting q concert worthy Of q
more famous organization. Below, in
the chambers of state, we had the
sales tax and appropriation meas
ures. Upstairs we had the Shop
herds Dance and Barcarolle.
OFT hand it would seem that the
events In the councils of state were
OF TAR more importance, but this
need not be the case. Love OF music
and an enjoyment Of it will persist
IN many Of us long after the present
legislature, with all its trials and
tribulations, will have been forgotten
Music and the ability to make it are
fundamental prerequisites to law,
order and a sound organization OF
society.
The contrast is remindful Of the
old saying Let me write a nations
songs and I care not who makes its
laws"

WHY EXEMPT THE BRIDE?

For what reason or reasons do you
exempt the bride from furnishing .
physicians certificate Of her fitness
for marriage any more than the
bridegroom?-(A. A. p
Oh, I just thought it Is time the
women were given break.
The so-called double standard" Of
morals has been tacitly accepted IN
this country for many years. That Is
to say, the young man may SOW his
wild oats" at the age when . real
man should be founding his home

may settle down, begin to behave
himself, and preserve his reputation
intact. But the young woman who

Of our public mind, I think It Is fair
and logical to waive the requirement
Of the brides health certificate.
In the event that q man should
propose to marry woman OF ques-
tionable repute or even one whose
past life he knows to have been bad
as happens not infrequently, thanks
to the spark Of decency and manhood

II there Is any reason to doubt the
reputation or character of the young
woman, who would want to marry
her, certificate or no certificate?
Here is an argument which works
only one way. So far as the posi-
bility of bringing communicable dis.
ease into the new home Is concerned
we need make no bones Of saying that
under the present moral standard
every man who contemplateS mar.
rage must be regarded as poteu'
tial bearer Of such disease until Z
medical examination has failed x

Any qualified family physician car

whether the patient shows evidence

only assurance an honest doctor Cal
give is that he has carefully exam
