Seed catalogues are Of no particu-
lar interest to those to whom home
is just place to sleep in at night and
to go away from in the morning.
They are of supreme interest at
this time of year to men and women
Of all stations Of life who look upon
their homes as places for the embodi-
ment of all the more gracious fea-
lures of living.
Every one likes to lead a double
life, in the sense Of home and work.
Life is a four to eight mile road
with home at one end and ones work
at the other.
\ y
Which one of these ends will loom
the larger unconsciouSly depends
upon whether the masculine or femi-
nine element In human character is
the greatest.
Work may be called masculine, and
home feminine, without any particu-
lar stretch of words.
1t is not generally understood, per-
haps, that there are fine masculine
traits which the best women have,
and equally fine feminine traits which
the best men have.
The prevalence Of q certain good
femininity in great men. especially
men Of genius, has always been
noticed
1t is not as widely understood that
certain fine feminine-not effemi-
nate-characteristics are basic part
of the characters Of many average
men.
A peculiar love for the home, as a
home, is one Of these.
The love of gardening Is particu-
larly a manifestation of the love of
beauty in bright display which is
everywhere a characteristic of the dis
tinctly feminine temperament.
1t is quite difficult to make many
men disassociate sex from the ques-
ton OF maSculinity and femininity.
Yet nothing is Surer than that this
must be done IN discussing and un-
derstanding humanity
A man may be as masculine as you
please, yet at the same time be in
possession OF certain little delicacies
of character which one never asso-
ciates with the strictly male
The 100 per cent male creature Is
not able to understand this

Asks a Railroad Truce.

President Roosevelt has called upon
railroad management and railroad
workers for another six months truce
In the old controversy over wages.
The Presidents request was contained
in letter sent to the conference of
managers of the class one railroads
and to the Railway Labor Executives
Association. Beyond a doubt the
Presidents request should be granted
The railroad executives in Chicago
yesterday gave notice that a fifteen
per cent cut in basic wages would be
put into effect July next This is
five per cent in excess of the present
ten per cent cut to which the roads
and their employees voluntarily agreed
and which is to extend until June 81,
1884. Under the railroad labor act
notice of proposed changes in rates of
wages was in order not later than
4cSJeIudys CcDI udLy IL.
The President in his letter to both
the railroad employers and employees
said in effect that this is no time
to rock the boat with a prolonged
struggle over railroad wages. He
pointed out that the country has
made strides toward recovery, but
that 1t Is not yet out Of the woods,
It seems perfectly clear that bitter
fight between the railroad manage
ment and the workers, perhaps with
a strike that might paralyze industry
and agriculture and lead to violence,
would In no sense serve the cause Of
recovery, nor In the end the cause
Of employer or employe.
1t has been considered likely that
the railroad workers would seek to
enforce q demand upon the managers
for q restoration Of the ten per cent
eut In basic wages which they have
suffered for many months. The man.
ayers, perhaps because they are desir-
Gus Of having a trading point, now
propose TO increase the cut to fifteen
per cent. At at time when the Ad-
n1inistration, with the approval Of
industry and agriculture generally, Is
intent upon boosting prices Of COM
moditIes, a new slash in wages by the
great transportation companies, en-
pIoy1ng some 100000 persons, would
be q shocking douche Of cold water.
The employees Of the railroads feel
that they have suffered enough and
more than enough In the ten per cent
cut in their wages. With the cost of
living now on the increase, they will
undoubtedly resist with all their might
any proposal to increase the wage cut
or to make permanent the ten per
cent cut effective today as a tenn
porary measure. The President has
acted promptly and wisely in this
matter. The railroad managements
argue that if they are to carry on
there must be a reduction in the labor
costs Of operation. To this the work
ers reply that they should not be
compelled to bear the burden, but
that the holders Of railroad securities
should bear their part in the readjust-
n1ent. If there is material improve
n1ent in industry in this country, If
recovery makes considerable strides in
the next year, the adjustment, what
ever 1t is, will be more easily made.

in this edition Of The Tribune. The

land in sol separate parcels, Of which
AS were by sheriffs' deeds, the out
come Of foreclosure proceedings.
During the year, according to the
same authority, action was begun in
405 other cases which will bring 140.-
o46.4s more acres into the Bank Of
North Dakotas hands during the cur
rent year.
Thus is the working-or the failure
to work-of the moratorium dis
closed.
These figures are not cited for po-
litical purposes but to prove point
which North Dakota must keep in
mind. Our real need Is for more In

WHAT TO DO ABOUT SNORING

This column is strictly profession
al, so we shall have no facetious COM
ments II you please. Fact Is, I've
been warned. People expect ply
stefan to be solemn or at least dig
nified.
Some persons snore to beat the
band II they lie on their backs, and
cease snoring II they turn onto their
sides. When one lies supine the
tongue and the soft palate, relaxed In
sleep, tend to fall back and cover the
mouth Of the larynx. That produces
tremendous snore. But when one
lies on the side or more or less prone,
tongue and soft palate tend to fall
away from the larynx and so the
breathing IS not INSTRUCTED.
While some individuals snore only
in the supine, others continue all
through the night grinding out their
doleful music in any position except
perhaps Trendelenberg or knee-chest,
and 1t is hard to get q sleeping per-
son to assume or retain these fancy
positions. Some authorities argue
that the best position for prevention
Of snoring is vertical. at the end Of
a short length Of rope, but as as I
say. q doctor should strive to be earn
est at all times.
People who snore great deal do 50
for three main reasons. One reason
IS they have chronic rhinitis or
chronic pharyngitis and are 80 dumb
or SO close that they just won't have
the trouble properly treated by the
physician. People who snore are ac-
tually dumb, thick headed, dull-wit-
ted, that IS, II they are aware Of the
intolerable annoyance they give
others who have to sleep In the same
house with them. A smart individual
who is aware that he snores will lose
no time consulting his physician and
have the Snore removed.
The second reason is q studied neg
lect Of physical training. Snoring
people never walk when they can
possibly ride, nor do they ever climb
stairs If they can find . lift. At first
they avoid exercise because It seems
rather uncouth and questionable
and, besides 1t is SO low to sweat
Presently they avoid exercise because
they haven't the ambition to do any
thing. This false view Of life gets
them into q flabby. soft condition
and that favors snoring. SO the cure
IN such cases Is adequate daily exer-
else. Nothing Is better than three
to six miles Of walking every day.
The third and perhaps most COM
mon cause Of snoring is oversize. Not
necessarily overweight. but oversize

North Dakota, containing 3S,657 1914
acres, Of which 24,52s, 40 were plant
Cd to crops.
Between 1880 and 1888 this state
experienced q veritable storm Of fore
closures. Farm income was down
Land owners could not pay on thei,
mortgages. Investors strove desper.
ately to protect their own interests
The effect Of this economic debacle
was passage by the 1888 Legislature Of
an act providing for : legal mora
forum on such foreclosures. judges
were specifically granted the RICH,
to delay decision indefinitely in fore.
closure cases. Foreclosure by adver.
tisement was eliminated.
This bill was vetoed by william

that 1t would make too much WORT
for the judges.
