Sidney Griff was long-armed and long-legged. He reached out with his right hand, spread the extend ed fingers apart and made little wavy motions with his arm, as though he might be feeling the texture of the air.

 Have you any ideas about it?' Blocker inquired. "Yes."

Then If you want to make 1t 100 per cent perfect. substitute for the meat a couple of eggs, cooked as you like. Perhaps it is lack of the vitamins and min erals which raw milk, fruit, green vegetables and eggs so liberally supply, that makes the business man tired and dull.

PROGRESSIVE spirit
OF EARLY BISMARCK
HAS GREAT RESULTS
Many Of the Hopes Expressed
Half A Century Ago Have
Been Realized

How the people Of Bismarck felt Is
years Of struggle and effort culmin-
ated In the laying Of the first capitol
cornerstone in 1883 Is Indicated by the
editorial on that subject which was
printed 1t that time by The Tribune.
Not all the high hopes therein ex-
pressed have been realized In the last
81 years but many Of them have
ccme true. The progressive spirit
which marked that day Is evident.
As . reminder to the people Of this
city Of the heritage Of hope which
i theirs, the editorial Is reprinted
herewith.
The great day has passed. The cor
nerstone Of Dakota's capitol has been
laid with beautiful and impressive
ceremonies. The final benedictton
pconounced.by the good Father Sloan
scaled an event which will long Nnger
upon the memory Of every auditor -
the most important epoch In the his
tory Of our busting young city. It
Is the wish, prayer, and belief Of
every one that the stone laid Sept.
5, under such suspicious circumstances
viii remain firmly imbedded In it,
present position until 0abriel's tr,im-
pet calls Us al alo1t to explain mat
tiers,
It Is scarcely reasonable to assume
that Bismarck will ever again be hon.
oged with the presence Of 30 many
distinguished men. and We should
ever regard 1t as . matter Of con-
graduation that the laying Of the
cornerstone Of our capitol was favored
with the presence Of such notables Is
stood upon the platform yesterday.
Our own heroes and statesmen
stood side by side with Elrope's hon
ored sons, and the mutual wish en-
anated from each heart that the ed.
flee % auspiciously began might one
day serve . the seat Of government
Of one Of Americas most powerful
states.
The Importance Of the occasion
which brings our honored visitors Of
the 5th to the northwest cannot be
overestimated.
The driving Of the last spike on
the great Northern Pacific road will
link US to the Pacific coast and its
wonderful resources. It will complete
the worlds greatest highway, and !
highway upon which Bismarck viii
ever stand as an important point. The
completion Of the road will greatly
enhance our prosperity. and II the
ringing blows Of the hammer which
sends home the last golden spike
could be heard in Bismarck We feel
sure that they would send . thrill OF
keen pleasure through the heart OF
everyone who Is interested In the
prosperity Of Dakota's fairest city.
The account Of the ceremonies at
tending the laying Of the cornerstone
Of the capitol . published elsewhere
cannot but be read with universal In.
tereGt by every citizen Of Bismarck.'
Our city and our territory has never
been understood abroad. Il win be
observed that the distinguished speak
ers who greeted Us "wednesday uni
versally avowed that they had ira.
versed tho territory east Of u and
had sased upon our city With feelings
Of wonder and surprise. They had

COLLAPSE IS LAID
T0HOT LUNCH WORK
Miss Jacobs Is Reported
Much Improved-Stays in
Hospital Rest of Week.

Overwork In connection with the
launching of the hot lunch program for
needy school children was blamed today
for the collapse at noon Tuesday OF
Miss Emma S. Jacobs, director of home
economics in the white schools and a
prominent member of the official Lunch
Committee.
Miss Jacobs was stricken as she
reached the Dennison Vocational
School, where she was to have had
luncheon with Mrs Franklin D. Roose-
velt on her personal tour Of the schools.
She became i'll as she entered the
school door and was taken to Homeo-
pathic Hospital in a state of nervous
collapse.
Although greatly improved today,
Miss Jacobs will remain at the hospital
at least through the coming week end
DR. Stephen E. Kramer, first assist
ant superintendent, and Robert L. Hay
cock, assistant superintendent, who is
chairman of the official Lunch Com
mittee today declared Miss Jacobs i'll
ness is due directly to the long hours
and constant strain she endured during
the Inauguration of the lunch program.
AS soon as it became apparent public
relief funds for the hot lunches for
needy children would be available, Miss
Jacobs began laying plans for the pro-
gram. She worked constantly through
out the Christmas holidays so that the
program might be launched the day
school reopened During the first week
and even on Monday and Tuesday OF
this week, she made fast moving tours
Of the schools to ascertain to her own
satisfaction whether the lunches were
being served adequately and whether
all children who needed the meal were
receiving it.
