To assure a plentiful supply
of liquor for the Christmas holt
days. the Administration has
decided to establish a four.
month liquor quota based on
the prewar 191O-1914 average,
Secretary Of Agriculture Wal
lace announced today.
Wallace made the announce
ment after a meeting Of the COM
mercial policy committee at the
State Department. "

The quota will become effective
Immediately upon ratification Of
the repeal amendment by the SO
States, probably December 5, Wal
lace said.
It will enable all foreign ma
lions to send to this country as
much liquor as they did for a
corresponding period of four
months during the pre-war era OF
1910-1914.
The purpose of the four-month
quota is to permit the importa-
ton of foreign liquors during the
period which will elapse from the
date of repeal until Congress
adopts a definite policy on the
importation of liquors.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Rubber Soles

Have received a great deal of good
from reading your column these many
years. My dentist admits you are right
about brushing the teeth. One thing
YOU say would note an exception to.

Answer-Perhaps other readers with
experience will confirm or deny your
observation. Where excessive sweating
OF the feet is troublesome, an excellent
remedy is to pour a tablespoonful Of
diluted formaldehyde solution into the
shoe, so as to wet the whole iisole and
the lining, then drain it out into the
next shoe, and let the shoes dry out "a
hours before putting them on again.

QUEER EFFECTS OF SHORTAGE
IN BLOOD SUGAR

A man aged AZ years began to have
spells of blurred vision or double vi
sion along toward four o'clock every
afternoon. Sometimes he seemed quite
dazed and behaved oddly. When he
had these spells he would do things
automatically and afterward have no
memory Of having done them. Such
conduct on the part of q man In al
most any field soon puts him on Queer
Street. In this instance a physician
studied the case and decided that the
man had hysteria.
Oh, well, we doctors all make mis-
takes. Sometimes we operate on them.
Sometimes we just bury them quietly.
The spells of "hysteria" gradually
grew worse. On several occasions the
man lost consciousness completely for
an hour or two.
Then a physician with newfangled
ideas took it into his head to give the
man blood sugar test while he was
in one of the spells. This showed that
The poor fellows blood sugar was way
down to 20 m.g., whereas the normal
is around 100 m.g df you don't un-
derstand the symbols no matter, you
understand the numerals. Doctors
call such a low blood sugar level
"hypoglycemia," and it spells either
grave starvation, complete exhaustion
from prolonged or unaccustomed mus
cular work, or just an excessive secre-
ton of insulin in the pancreaS. In
this case it was simple to rule out
starvation and overexertion. So then
they operated. Might as we'll go in

patient is right there in the clinic
where you can have scalpel into him
in two jerks of lambs tail. Chances
are he will be rather pleased at the
prospect of having an operation. It
will make great story for him to tell
the folks back home. A story he can
recite for years, with variations to
meet the circumstances.
The exploration of this mans in
terror corroborated the diagnosis of
nypoglycemia or hyperinsulinism. The

BallyhOO and Fact

The report by o. B. Lund on the
affairs Of the mill and elevator at
Grand Forks, discloses q situation of
real Importance to the people of
North Dakota because 1t furnishes
them with a measuring rod whereby
they may gauge the truth Of things
they have been told in the past.
Only . short while ago they were
being RECALLED with stories OF how the
present management Of the mill and
elevator had reduced flour prices in
the state: how it had forced the big
private nillers to slash their prices
and, in general, of what wide swath
was being cut at Grand Forks.
Now the grim truth comes out.
Fasteners are buying state-made
flour cheaper than North Dakotans
are buying 1t. Flour prices were re-
duced in North Dakota with a great
ballyhoo. Later they were raised
without any fanfare OF trumpets.
There are other items Of interest
In the report. For example, we are
informed that the local elevator at
Grand Forks, q branch Of the state
enterprise, lost money early in the
year because it gambled on the wheat
market. It scored a profit in recent
months because Of the same gam
bling. The question here suggested
is whether the state, through its mill
and elevator, should engage in such
business practices; if it would not be
better to play safe, as most elevators
do, and hedge accounts in the usual
manner.
Such practices in the local elevator
are relatively unimportant, but if
they are extended to the big termi-
nal elevator they may easily become
disastrous. 1t is doubtful II the man
agement of this enterprise is as smart
as the professional grain trade which
sits into this poker game with it.
The game may be pleasant and
exciting for the mill managers. They
are not playing with their own
money. The taxpayers interest, how
ever, Is more acute. It is his shirt
which is at stake.
The Bismarck tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, N.D.) 1916-current, 1933-08-26

some concessions in this matter. It
will be good economy In the long run
since the authorities must either
make arrangements to get something
for the money spent or dole 1t out,
with no visible return, in the form
Of poor relief.
It should not be expected, however,
that the government will modify its
highway construction specifications
to suit the ideas of the folks from
Sargent county or anywhere else. If
the roads are to be built at all they
should be soundly constructed to a
decent standard. A gesture at road
building is not enough.
Operating as handicap on COM
plete acceptance by the government
of the proposal to modify it's rules is
the experience of this and other
states with township roads, con-
structed largely by farmers working
out their taxes. Many of these
roads represent the expenditure of
enough time and money to justify
real highways, yet few are what they
should be.
Men who have studied the subject
say one OF the handicaps has been in
adequate engineering skill and super
vision. Others hold the opinion that
duty" work OF this nature fails to
enlist the enthusiasm OF the work.
er and he does as little as possible.
Any reasonable view Of the present
situation supports the contention
that farmers should be given work
on the roads where they are in need
and it Is feasible to do so. BY the
same token, those who are given
these jobs should strive nightly to
make good and give q dollars worth
of service for every dollar they re-
ceive. If both sides enter into a fair
in this spirit it will work
out to the satisfaction of all con-
cerned.

In the past the spirit Of dog eat

Lovely, young Patricia Braith.
wait agrees to "a AIRY wealthy,
middle-aged Harvey Blaine because
the father she adores is in financial
straits. She hopes. however, that
handsome Jack Laurence, q young
camper whom she only met once
and the only man she ever wanted
to kiss her-will rescue her from
Blaine. When Jack fails to appear,
she turns, in desperation, to Jim.
ME Warren, her Aunt Pamela's
fascinating husband. They become
infatuated and Pat breaks her en-
gagement. Aunt Pam is suspicious
but blames herself for warning Pat
that love fades, inferring that her
marriage to Jimmie had failed.
Feeling that Pam no longer cares,
Jimmie and Pat see no wrong in
their love. Then Jack appears,
but Pat tells him he is too late
the emotion he awakened, bios
somed to love under another's kiss.
Jack, claiming he is the one Pat
really cares for. refuses to give up,
and the next day moves to her ho-
tel. Jimmie avoids Pat because her
father placed her in Pamela's and
his care, and honor prevents him
from making love to her. The con-
test between Jack and Jimmie for
Pats love is on. Pamela looks On in
painful amazement, realizing she
still loves her husband. She notes
the guilty look Of relief On Jimmie's
face when she tells him Pat wants
to leave their home and return to
the hotel. That night 1T the mas
querade, Pam feigns gaiety though
her heart is breaking. Pats atten-
ton is drawn to the fascinating and

By A1thur's cyclonic fsee and stray

ual attitude toward Warren's per.

Jacks smiling acceptance Of tho
other two men.
His demeanor was that Of the
accepted lover Of . lovely girl fond
Of admiration, and tolerating her
admirers. And Patricia accepted his
attitude - . matter Of course. Hurt
over Warren's continued failure to
draw her away from the crowd. now
that she was no longer under his
root, she took malicious delight In
sppropriating Jack for long ab-
sences from the hotel. Warren's
angry face upon her return would
restore her faith in her power over
him, and her self respect.
The young people, thrilhngly
aware Of the situation, having no
sympathy for Pamela in her position
~ ''the wife,, were very much in
sympathy with Jack. And for that
reason vaguely unsympathetie to
Warren; Mr.. Warren was sweet,
and all that-but Jack was too
utterly fascinating. They allie d
themselves with the younger man
who seemed to plan something for
every hour Of Patricia's day; plans
which, by the simple inclusion Of
the younger set, excluded Warren.
They became . secretive, gleeful
